No one had ever asked Huai Xu these questions. In the beginning, Huai Xu himself didn't want to say it, so everyone in Po Yun Sect tacitly agreed not to ask.

Later, as time went by, he had let it go and put these things behind him. He no longer thought about them and naturally would not talk about them on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, Jingxing asked now.

"Back then." Huai Xu's gaze seemed to be cast at a very far place.

He recalled everything that happened back then. Those past events that once made him sad and heartbroken did not turn out to be so difficult for him to talk about.

"When I was taken away by that food cultivator, because of my special nature, he couldn't do anything with my eggs. He couldn't break them, cook them, or smash them."

"At first, he would think of a way, but soon his attention was attracted by other special ingredients, and gradually he forgot about me."

Jingxing listened quietly, with no intention of interrupting Huaixu.

"He casually threw me into his treasure house, but I didn't expect that the spiritual tools, spiritual stones, spiritual plants, talismans and other treasures in his treasure house were full of spiritual energy, which was very suitable for nourishing me. I unconsciously absorbed the spiritual energy in the eggshell."

"It took about a hundred years, and my consciousness became clearer and clearer. I could even use my consciousness to perceive things outside the treasure house. However, that food cultivator has not appeared since I was locked in the treasure house."

"When I broke out of the shell and left the treasure house, I found out that the food cultivator had died because of his failure in overcoming the tribulation."

"At that time, I knew nothing about this world. After leaving the place where the food cultivator lived in seclusion, I went out to explore the world. During that time, I was just deceived and killed repeatedly. There is nothing much to talk about."

Huai Xu didn't say it, but Jing Xing knew it.

A child as clean as a blank sheet of paper might not even be able to control the dragon energy.

When you are stranded in the outside world, you will naturally encounter more hardships than ordinary people.

Being in possession of a treasure is a crime, which doomed Huai Xu's childhood to be unhappy, full of calculations, dangers, and even... a narrow escape from death.

The fact that Huai Xu was able to survive was already a miracle among miracles.

If it weren't for the powerful atavism power that allowed him to fight back continuously, he would have died long ago, and his corpse might have been made into some kind of elixir or magical weapon.

But even if they fought back, they would definitely have paid a heavy price. After all, at that time, the average level of cultivation in the world of cultivation was much higher than it is now.

No matter how powerful Huai Xu is, he is just a child.

"It's very aggrieved."

It was obvious that Huai Xu had done nothing wrong, and was even just a victim of an unprovoked disaster, but he had to encounter all these things.

Huai Xu nodded gently and admitted it rarely: "Yeah."

"Whenever you were in a desperate situation, did you wish countless times that your parents would come down from the sky and save you from the water and fire? Every night when you woke up from a nightmare, did you long for a happy family and not have to face the things in front of you?"

This was also what Jingxing desired most in his heart back then.

"Ah."

I have encountered so many misfortunes that my expectations of my parents have become higher and higher.

"What I got from the power of atavism was not only inheritance, but also some common sense and memories, but they were scattered, and I got them gradually as my cultivation level increased. So, after wandering outside for a hundred years, I finally remembered the way to return to Luoxingyuan from the inheritance."

When Huai Xu said this, he shook his head slightly.

"Almost at the same time as I stepped into the Falling Star Abyss, I sensed a breath similar to mine. I happily looked for it, thinking that from now on, I would have a home and a family."

"You saw your parents, didn't you?"

"Yes, I thought I would see surprise and expectation in their eyes, but there was no surprise at all, only disgust and fear."

When Huai Xu said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The first thing my father said to me was - 'Why don't you die outside'."

"!!!"

For Huai Xu, who was full of expectations and desires, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue, right?

I'm afraid it's just like Lingchi.

"Later I found out that after I was taken away by that food cultivator, they went to the previous clan leader and blamed him for not protecting me properly. They wanted him to take responsibility and got a lot of benefits from the previous clan leader."

"My family was originally not even at the bottom of the society, but because of this, we jumped up and squeezed into the middle-level circle of the dragon clan."

When Jingxing heard this, he understood.

"If you come back, they will have to spit out everything they have swallowed over the years. How can they be willing to do that when they are used to enjoying it?"

Huai Xu nodded: "Yes."

How can biological children be more important than the interests of the entire family?

Once they have tasted the sweetness, they certainly won't want to spit it out.

"What did they do?" Jing Xing's handsome brows were deeply frowned.

"They announced to the public that I had found the wrong person, saying that I was a descendant of a branch of the family, so my aura was somewhat similar."

"Did the branch agree?"

"What if he doesn't agree? After all, he's already dead."

"There is no evidence." Jing Xing admitted that he was disgusted.

"Yes, there is no evidence after death. Even if the outside world suspects me, what does it matter? My biological parents personally arranged for me to be an orphan and put me under house arrest. They even started planning how to make me die 'naturally'."

"...If you don't agree, how can they keep you under house arrest? It's a pity that they don't understand."

Jingxing understood things, but those people didn’t.

They are complacent and excitedly plan the death of their children just to protect their little profits.

Perhaps, until that time, Huai Xu still retained a last glimmer of hope for them in his heart.

Judging from Huai Xu's current appearance, I'm afraid this last hope has also been shattered by them.

"and after?"

Huai Xu did not answer immediately this time, but lowered his head to hide the emotions deep in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jingxing did not urge him, but just waited quietly.

The huge conference hall fell into a silence so deep that one could hear one's breathing.

Jingxing didn’t know how long it had passed before he finally heard Huaixu’s voice.

"Maybe my life was too cheap. I survived being poisoned, sick, and thrown into a secret place. They were anxious. My parents personally brought me a bowl of porridge that night."

When Huai Xu said this, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was trying to force a smile, but he failed.

"My mother knelt in front of me, crying and begging me to let them go. Since she gave me this life, please give it back to her now. It's her begging me."

"!!!"

Jingxing realized what the bowl of porridge was almost immediately, and his eyes widened suddenly.
