Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

Xiao Chen wasn't the only one who was curious about what happened that year. There was also Wen Shuyi.    

    

Since Xiao Chen had the chance this time, he naturally wanted to find out.    

    

Revenge was revenge, but one had to know who the enemy was. Otherwise, who would he seek revenge from?    

    

Besides, as the saying goes, only those who knew the enemy would be able to fight a hundred battles without being defeated. Before facing those so-called enemies, one had to understand them first.    

    

Noticing Xiao Chen's gaze, the old man took a deep breath.    

    

The flickering eyes once again became distant, as if they had returned to the past.    

    

Love, regret, and a faint sense of self-blame were all gathered on the old man's face.    

    

The complicated expression made Xiao Chen furrow his brows, but he didn't urge him.    

    

After a long time, the old man slowly withdrew his gaze and looked deeply at Xiao Chen's face.    

    

"Since Brother Wen did not tell you, I can't tell you either. The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't continue on to the later generations. As long as you live a happy life, that's enough."    

    

Although this was the first time they had met, the relationship that the old man naturally revealed to Xiao Chen wasn't fake.    

    

Xiao Chen wasn't touched, but he was also somewhat touched.    

    

Sometimes, this was also the reason why he cared so much about Chi Ping and even Lin Yichao.    

    

In his previous life, he did not live a lonely life, but he could not help but envy this kind of friendship.    

    

Yes, he could see that this old man was really thinking about him.    

    

And all of this was because of his friendship with his Brother Wen.    

    

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. However, the old man took the initiative to change the topic.    

    

"This kid really found it."    

    

As he spoke, the little guy had already crawled out of the grass with a head full of grass, holding two pills in his hands.    

    

He looked very satisfied and seemed very happy. He even went in front of Xiao Chen to show off.    

    

"Big brother, your egg and flower soup are ready. Tonight, I will show you my skills."    

    

Changsheng was in high spirits. Almost everything was perfectly displayed on his face. He didn't look like the child Xiao Chen had met before.    

    

Even Kai and the others would hide their emotions, but only Changsheng would not.    

    

His smile was clean and pure.    

    

Xiao Chen reached out and touched this guy's head. He could not help but sigh in his heart.    

    

These few days, this little thing had been buzzing around his ears like a mosquito.    

    

Although it was a little noisy, it had relieved him of a lot of refurbishment and depression.    

    

During the period when he couldn't move, it was this little thing that kept pouring tea for him. When he went to the toilet, his small body also went to help him up.    

    

It was as if he didn't know fatigue.    

    

But he didn't know that his body had actually already reached the brink of collapse and had always been so happy.    

    

It seemed that he could not find the slightest bit of depression from living on an isolated island. Instead, he had the most fundamental innocence.    

    

Because of this, Xiao Chen also liked this little fellow from the bottom of his heart.    

    

In the beginning, he had only brought up the matter of the Health Potion to appease the old man.    

    

At the same time, he wanted to ensure his own life.    

    

But now, he was hoping that the Health Potion could be used on this boy from the bottom of his heart.    

    

If he was allowed to suffer such losses, Xiao Chen was afraid that he wouldn't feel at ease.    

    

The little guy looked up and smiled foolishly. He also moved his hand and slapped away the grass on his forehead.    

    

Then he raised his head and looked at the sky.    

    

The sun was still shining brightly at this moment. It seemed that he was starting to feel depressed because he couldn't immediately display his skills.    

    

"By the way, is this egg broken? Why does it smell weird?"    

    

"Ah? I forgot!" Only then did the little thing take the egg to its nose and sniff it.    

    

Then, with a frown on his face, he turned around and jumped into the forest.    

    

Its swift movements were as sharp as a monkey living in the old forest.    

    

The old man sighed helplessly.    

    

Now, seeing how lively his grandson was, his heart felt heavy.    

    

"Speaking of which, you should have lived here for more than 20 years, and he's..."    

    

Xiao Chen had always been curious about this question.    

    

This old man had said before that this place was given to him by Old Man Wen. The last time they met, he had even heard about Xiao Chen.    

    

In other words, that was more than twenty years ago.    

    

However, the little guy was clearly only thirteen years old.    

    

In other words, the old man obviously had this grandson after coming to the island.    

    

Other than this grandfather and grandson pair, Xiao Chen had not seen anyone else on the island these few days.    

    

Xiao Chen was just casually asking.    

    

But who knew that the old man's face suddenly turned bitter, and his head also quietly turned towards the back of the small house.    

    

Xiao Chen followed his gaze and only then did he discover a few mounds outside the vegetable garden.    

    

At first, he did not notice. After all, it was not strange for there to be a few mounds in the deep mountains and forests.    

    

However, when he noticed the old man's gaze, Xiao Chen realized that he seemed to be wrong.    

    

"Could it be..."    

    

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and Xiao Chen's eyes immediately flashed.    

    

The two mounds had been there for many years. If one looked closely, they would find that they looked like tombstones.    

    

However, it was possible that they had been there for a long time and had not been piled up with stones, so they were somewhat deformed.    

    

"Sorry, I don't know. You're old, please accept my condolences "    

    

Xiao Chen said in a low voice. The old man only waved his hand, indicating that he did not mind.    

    

But perhaps these things had been buried in his heart for too long, so at this moment, the old man's expression was somewhat downcast.    

    

He mumbled and hesitated for a while, but at least he did not mention it again like before.    

    

"When I escaped back then, in order to protect our family, Younger Brother Wen used himself as bait. Only then could we successfully escape. But because of that, we lost contact with Brother Wen for a long time."    

    

"Since then, we've all been on the run"    

    

"It's just that..."    

    

At this point, the old man paused slightly, and the disappointment and self-blame on his face became even heavier.    

    

"After all, I'm a few years older than I am. When I left, I already had a grandmother who could live forever. Even if I hid my identity, I swore to protect her well, but unfortunately..."    

    

Sigh. It was like the rain in winter. It was not big, but it dyed the entire air deep and moist.    

    

It was heavy. Even Xiao Chen could feel it.    

    

After pondering for a long time, the old man smiled bitterly and opened his mouth.    

    

"Those bastards finally found us. It was also me who personally gave her to..."    

    

Before he finished speaking, the old man smiled. The more bitter the smile was, the more bitter it was. His self-blame became even more obvious.    

    

"Fortunately, our child was saved in the end. Since then, the two of us have been hiding from each other."    

    

" Maybe fate is playing tricks on us. Just when our daughter finally found happiness... Those bastards actually came again. This time, I don't want to experience the same choice anymore. The same thing. So, even though I know that she's pregnant, I... Also... ... "
