Zhan Ye

Cen Jiangying was stunned for a while, recalling the past, before sighing sadly for a while: "So...is that so?" No wonder, no wonder Cen Jiangxin died so sadly, but she didn't ask her to take the child back until she died. It was her... It's because they all want to go wrong.

Yes, that's it.

It was only at this moment that Duan Ximei finally fully understood Chi Ming's painstaking efforts towards him.

He didn't know what Chi Ming's mood was when he entered the Jiuchongtian Palace alone after Duan Fangzong's death. What kind of mood was it when she snatched it from her arms, but he finally knew what kind of mood he had never told him about his life experience during the ten years of raising him.

That's because he saw through the hope in his heart for his parents to survive.

Even if he knew that his hope could never be maintained for a lifetime.

However, even if it is only one more day, he is willing to maintain it for him wholeheartedly.

He didn't let him, who was born as a baby, witness his mother's death with his own eyes, and he also tried his best to maintain the hope that he knew was unreal during the ten years he was alive.

Even though the price was that he failed to tell him that his father was his sworn brother who was as important as his life.

Mr. Duan leaned on the ice coffin, tears and blood from his hands dripping into the crack of the coffin lid.

Why does he always have to know all the truths in the world after the dust has settled? It turns out that the world has always treated him with the greatest kindness.

Why did he find out that his father had never abandoned their mother and child 20 years after his father's death.

Why did he only find out after 20 years of his mother's death that she only existed in his life for a few days, and that she died unrepentantly for the sake of his life with all his might.

Why did he find out that he didn't mean to be indifferent to him after his adoptive father passed away? over him.

Why did he ever feel that he was the most miserable person in the world?

He clearly... has already had everything.

Duan Xiemei suppressed his sobs tightly, but he still couldn't help crying.

Cen Jiangying listened to his crying, and asked in a harsh voice for a long while: "These years... how have you been?"

In fact, she had already heard about him from other people when she got the news again, but she wanted to hear it from him again.After all, she didn't know until just now that her cognition in the past 20 years turned out to be very different from the truth.

Unexpectedly, Duan Ximei shook his head: "Not good, not good at all."

Cen Jiangying stared at him blankly.

"It's not good at all." Duan Ximei repeated word for word, "but...it's already the best that everyone can give me, and I'm... very grateful."

"Is that so?" Cen Jiangying was in a daze for a while, and then burst into tears, "I have been...for the past 20 years, I don't know whether you are alive or dead, and I have been thinking back and forth, thinking that if I could find you back then, I would definitely let you go. An Ran has grown up, but now I'm not sure... But there is one thing I must let you know. When Chi Ming kidnapped you, I couldn't catch up with you because I missed your mother, but there was a person, he We really did our best to bring you back, we are not..."

"I know." Duan Ximei suddenly interrupted her sobbing softly.

He is not a fool, he now knows how his mother regarded him as life back then, and he also knows that the person in front of him must be his mother's sister, and must have made many efforts to find him.It's just that the world is not satisfactory, she doesn't want him to feel abandoned, but she doesn't know that he doesn't need this explanation anymore.It's just that although he understands this point, there is another thing that he desperately wants to understand——

"You haven't heard from me for 20 years, why did you suddenly find out about my whereabouts, and even save me from Xie Yin in time?"

Cen Jiangying wiped away the tears on her face: "Someone sent me a letter to tell you the news. I set off for the Central Plains as soon as I received it. Thank God I was able to make it in time." She still felt lingering fear when she recalled that thrilling scene at that time.She rushed from the Jiuchongtian Palace to the Central Plains, first to Guanju, then to the Palace of Eternal Life, and finally to the tower, if there was any mistake in the process, she might only see Duan Ximei's body when she arrived that day.

Duan Ximei said: "Just now you said that there was a person who tried his best to find me back then. Is that person the same person who wrote to you to inform you of my whereabouts?"

Cen Jiangying nodded.

Duan Ximei stared at her closely, and said shyly: "That person's name, but is it called Mei Laihe?"

Cen Jiangying was startled when she heard the words: "How do you know?" She clearly remembered that when she had a hasty meeting with Mei Laihe, that person had said that Mrs. Duan was still kept in the dark.

Duan Xiemei closed his eyes.

Too many images flashed through his mind in an instant.

When Mei Laihe first met him, the majestic man with superb martial arts was crying like a three-year-old child.

The man confessed his farewell to Du Ruo in Guanju, and once bluntly said that the reason why he missed it back then was because his sister died.His sister died almost at the same time as Du Ruo's sister.Du Ruo's sister is Xie Yu's mother, Du Yun, and his sister... is his mother, Cen Jiangxin.

Is this a coincidence or fate?

Duan Ximei tremblingly said: "He... was he after my adoptive father back then and wanted to take me back?"

"That's right." Cen Jiangying said softly, "He was too young at that time, and Chi Ming suddenly came to take you away, sister, her... your mother's life was hanging by a thread, he kowtowed to your mother a few times, and vowed to kill you." After finding you, he went after Chi Ming. He came back three days later, but he couldn't find you and...he couldn't see your mother for the last time. He left in a daze and never came back for 20 years. "

Three days...

Du Ruo once said that she had waited for Mei Laihe for three days.

Those three days may not have been the three days when Mei Laihe was desperately looking for him.

Once back and forth, there is too much time difference in the middle.

However, after all, it was the three days that were lost because of looking for him, which made Mei Yinuo live without a father for 20 years.

He... how many people have tried their best for him in places he didn't know?

Duan Ximei said softly: "Is he also mother and your brother?"

"He was originally an orphan. He was brought back to the palace by the young master of Tiangong when he was very young. However, the young master was busy with affairs, so he was placed in the Danxiao Palace and entrusted to his sister to take care of him." As if thinking of the situation at that time, Cen Jiangying kept talking. His eyes also became gentle, "He looks like he has been without roots since he was a child. The name Mei Laihe is actually... Poof, in fact, my sister always has nothing to do with him, nothing to do... Mei Laihe, his name is really taken from me." We teased each other with my sister. We grew up together, and we never regarded each other as outsiders. Later, when he was a little older, the young master left the palace, and he yearned for the outside world, so he followed. A few years later, when he came back, we Goodbye, everything has changed since then."

Mr. Duan could imagine the difference in what she said.

He Lanchun left the palace and returned to the palace. From then on, Jiuchongtian Palace lost the eighth palace lord forever.For the Nine Heavens Palace, which has lived in seclusion all year round, this is nothing less than a huge turmoil.

And the children under Cen Jiangxin's sisters' knees grew up, and they also tasted the taste of love in the outside world. As for Cen Jiangxin himself...

Duan Ximei said: "You are the master of Danxiao Palace? What about my mother?"

He had seen Cen Jiangying's skill in parting the waterfall with one hand, and spent a few days undisturbed in Danxiao Palace, so he would never treat Cen Jiangying as an idler.

"The original palace master was actually your mother." Cen Jiangying smiled slightly, "Our Jiang family has grown up in Tiangong for generations. Although your mother and I are twin sisters, we are both the same except for our appearance. She is really better than me in everything. Even sometimes when I see the same face between the two of us, I feel that she is obviously much prettier than me. She was raised as the master of Danxiao since she was a child, and when she grows up, she will inherit the position of the master of the hall as a matter of course. As for me..."

She didn't finish speaking, but Duan Ximei understood that she only inherited the position of Hall Master after his mother died.He asked: "Mother is the master of the Danxiao Palace, so she should have never left the Tiangong, but how did she meet my father?" This is what he couldn't figure out the most after he learned of Cen Jiangxin's identity.

"A lord of Danxiao in the Nine Heavens Palace, a martial idiot who is invincible all over the world, sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?" Cen Jiangying laughed, "Actually, your mother has never left the Heavenly Palace. This one will be delivered to your door, right here..." She said the last few words, and her smiling face just now suddenly fell silent.

Duan Ximei felt unbelievable at first, but after he thought carefully, he realized: "Is that something after He Lanchun lived in seclusion? My father wants to come here to look for He Lanchun?"

There are countless rumors about Wu Sheng Duan Fang's whereabouts in the rivers and lakes. The most famous one is that he is still unwilling to be satisfied after winning the title of the world's number one master. He wants to find the world's number one master before him, He Lanchun. Down.

It's just that people in the world would never imagine that Duan Fangzong went all the way to Jiuchongtian Palace in order to find He Lanchun.

Cen Jiangying nodded: "We also heard about the reputation of the young master in the Jianghu. Since you mentioned his name, you must have known about him. Later, he left with his sweetheart, and we didn't know about him. Where exactly are you going? It’s just your father... Brother Duan didn’t know why he thought that the young master was still in the palace, let alone how he found out about the whereabouts of Tiangong, so he recklessly killed him alone. Peerless, but how can the people in Tiangong be bullied by others? He shocked the entire Tiangong by breaking into three palaces in a row. Everyone was very curious about this person who dared to break into the palace for the first time in decades. At that time your mother... ...Sigh, I don't know what to say about her temperament. She loves martial arts and becomes obsessed, but she is almost the same as your father. Knowing how brave your father is from the people below, she wholeheartedly hopes that he will come to Danxiao Palace. It's a pity Waiting left and right did not wait for the person to come, but waited for the news that he had suffered a serious injury in the Palace of Bixiao and did not know where he had fled. Your mother immediately became anxious when she heard the news, and she actually... oh, she ran to the Palace of Bixiao to make a big fuss After making a fuss, the palace lord had to come out and reprimand her, but she still refused to stop. This incident alarmed the palace lord. She didn't dare to look for your father with great fanfare, but there is no place in Jiuchongtian palace that your mother can't go to. Land? She searched for your father's whereabouts everywhere, and all the people in the hall turned a blind eye to let her go. Later, she finally found your unconscious father in this valley.

"At that time, your father practiced very powerfully. He lost his inner breath in the Bixiao Palace and almost lost his temper. In order to save him, your mother moved him to this icy and snowy place to heal his injuries. She was looking forward to it with all her heart. Healing your father was actually to compete with him. And your father did not disappoint her. During his recuperation period, the two often fought against each other. Once they fought, they became confidants. Your mother praised him for being a real friend. He is more talented in martial arts than the young palace lord back then, and although your father was thin-skinned and never praised your mother, he has completely recovered from his injuries, and he never said a word about finding the young palace lord to compete with him. Aside from meeting opponents in martial arts, people talk about everything else. Your father is familiar with the anecdotes of the world, and your mother has read the classics since childhood, and she can talk about everything. They always have endless things to say, funny Endless fun, they spent a long time like this... At that time, let alone the people in Danxiao Palace, even the Palace Master acquiesced in the existence of your father, treating him as your mother and future husband-in-law, But the two of them themselves... Maybe they were too young at that time.

"The martial arts that your father is most proud of in this life is his self-created water-breaking knife technique, but there are many flaws in his water-breaking knife, and he is very troubled by it. After your mother learned about it, she spent half a year working hard with it. He studied that set of saber techniques together. Half a year later, your father's saber skills were mastered. At that time, your mother said bluntly that he would be invincible in the world from now on. But your father is a martial idiot, how could you have listened to you? Mother can be satisfied with these two compliments? At that time, because of your mother, he couldn't do anything with the people in Tiangong, so he had the intention to go out. Your mother... well, she let him go very happily Yes. Your father invited her to go with her, she might not have thought about it, but the palace owner would not allow it after experiencing some turmoil in the palace before. So your father came back again with a brand new water cutting knife technique. Go to his rivers and lakes."

When Cen Jiangying spoke up to this point in one breath, Duan Xiemei's heart was moved.He looked at his hand, and then thought of the days and nights when he practiced the knife desperately after receiving the barrier-breaking knife from Fu Bayin, and thought that he had been trying to push the water-breaking knife to a more refined level all these years.Suddenly, he felt tears welling up in his eyes and couldn't help himself.

It turns out...it turns out...this set of saber techniques means that the life and death of their family of three cannot be separated.
