C26 Relieving Cardiac Knot
When the Nie clan was destroyed, the Yunhai City was shaken.
Within a single day, the Nie clan was actually destroyed, and even the entire Nie clan was reduced to ruins. This made all the families of the Yunhai City anxious, their hearts in panic and their minds unsettled.
They were afraid that they would be the next to be annihilated.
After all, the Nie clan was already dead, so they were even less in time.
At this moment, Nie Tianhai's words were still resounding in Xiao Chen's mind.
"Chen'er, if I regret it now, can you forgive me …"
"Can you forgive me …"
"Can you …"
At this moment, Xiao Chen arrived at the top of Yunhai City. He came to see his mother, Xiao Yunlan.
When Xiao Chen arrived in front of the grave, he knelt down.
Xiao Chen raised his hand to caress the tombstone. There was a smile on his face, but there were tears in his eyes.
"Mom, Chen'er has come to see you."
Xiao Chen removed the dust from the monument; his heart was soft and peaceful.
"Mother, I buried you here, but I didn't come back to see you often. Will you blame me?" Xiao Chen said softly, as though he was afraid that if he shouted too loudly, he would disturb his mother.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with memories.
...
It was a winter when he was six years old and in the broken courtyard, Xiao Chen was still a child. Although he was the eldest son of the Nie clan, his clothes were not any better than a servant's.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was holding his stomach and looking outside the door eagerly, as though he was looking forward to something.
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in.
"Mom, you're back." Xiao Chen immediately rushed over and threw himself into Xiao Yunlan's embrace with a dissatisfied smile on his face.
"Mother, I'm hungry …"
Xiao Yunlan took out a steamed bun from her bosom. It was still steaming hot as she passed it to Xiao Chen, saying, "Mother has a steamed bun here. Eat it while it is still hot."
Xiao Chen quickly took a bite, it was still boiling hot.
"Eat slowly, don't burn it."
As Xiao Yunlan gently instructed her, Xiao Chen looked at his mother and asked: "Mother, is there only a steamed bun? Then what do you want to eat?"
Xiao Yunlan smiled, "Go ahead and eat, Mother had already eaten before coming back."
Xiao Chen lowered his head and did not say anything. He did not eat any steamed buns either.
"Chen'er, why aren't you eating?"
Although Xiao Chen was young, he knew that his mother was lying to him. She had not eaten at all.
Thus, Xiao Chen broke open a steamed bun and handed it over to Xiao Yunlan, smiling, "Chen'er wants mother to accompany me to eat."
Xiao Yunlan received half of the steamed bun and smiled happily. She rubbed Xiao Chen's head and said, "Mother's Chen'er has grown up and is now sensible. She knows how to feel for mother. Mother will accompany you to eat." As she said that, she took a bite of the steamed bun, but her eyes were already red.
Although Xiao Chen was also doing his best to suppress the grievances in his heart, he was still unable to hide his feelings. In the end, he could not help but cry as he threw himself into Xiao Yunlan's embrace.
"Wuu … wuu …" Mom, why is it that dad and bro can eat meat and eat food, but we can only eat steamed buns, we don't even have food. Why is dad so biased, only loving little bro and not me, and only liking second mom doesn't like you … "Sob, sob …"
Xiao Chen spoke without restraint, even though he was holding back the words in his heart. Xiao Yunlan also sobbed silently, but she still had to comfort Xiao Chen.
"Chen'er, as long as mother has you, it's enough. The other mothers don't care, they don't care …"
Xiao Chen also reached out and hugged Xiao Yunlan, his young and tender voice moving Xiao Yunlan's heart.
"Chen'er only wants her mother, she only likes her mother."
...
"Mother, Chen'er misses you, misses you so much …" As he spoke, Xiao Chen's face was covered in tears. His voice was hoarse, causing one's heart to ache for him.
At the age of seventeen, he should have been enjoying the pleasures of heaven, but after experiencing so much, his mother died early, was bullied, was abandoned by his family, and was cut off from his father's relationship with his son by his own biological father.
All this was on him.
He was forced to endure it.
One could imagine how depressing Xiao Chen's heart was.
At this moment, Xiao Chen relaxed his guard. He did not even know when there was someone behind him. That person's eyes turned red when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
They felt heartache for Xiao Chen.
She, was Murong Qianer.
She did not disturb Xiao Chen; instead, she quietly stood there, listening to Xiao Chen as an audience.
Xiao Chen wiped off his tears and suddenly smiled, "Mother, Chen'er has finally avenged you. I killed the Xia Clan that was bullying you. I destroyed the Nie clan. The things that the Nie clan owes us have finally been avenged."
After he spoke, Xiao Chen continued, "However, Chen'er did not kill the innocent. The servants and maids of the Nie clan are innocent. Thus, I did not make things difficult for them. However, I did not let anything that hurt you go."
When he said this, Xiao Chen kowtowed heavily.
"Mother, Nie Tianhai is dead."
"Even if I am no longer a member of the Nie clan, he is still my father. I did not kill him, he committed suicide, but I did not forgive him.
"Mother, your spirit in heaven can rest in peace now."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he heavily kowtowed again.
After continuously kowtowing, he knew that his forehead was bleeding profusely, yet he didn't stop.
It was unknown when Murong Qianer, who was behind him, had already shed tears. Looking at Xiao Chen's back, he felt unwell in his heart.
His heart ached for the youth in front of him.
His heart ached for his experiences.
"Xiao Chen, stop knocking …" Murong Qianer could not help but stop Xiao Chen and drive to his side.
Xiao Chen's body trembled as he turned his head around. His tears had not dried yet and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Qian'Er, why are you here?"
His voice was so hoarse that Murong Qianer's eyes began to ache.
"I knew that you had returned to the Yunhai City. I was worried about you, so I came to visit you, afraid that you might be in danger."
Xiao Chen smiled; he was very happy.
"Thank you, Qian'Er. I've finally avenged my mother …"
"Yes."
"Qian'Er, I might want to stay here for a few days. I want to accompany my mother." Xiao Chen looked at his mother's tombstone and said indifferently. Murong Qianer nodded.
"Alright, I'll accompany you."
Xiao Chen built a small wooden hut beside the grave. He lived here, and Murong Qianer had always been with him, accompanying him to accompany his mother.
Every day, Xiao Chen would talk to the tombstone for a whole day, as though he had endless words to say to his mother. As for Murong Qianer, she stood to the side, listening to Xiao Chen, but she did not make a sound.
Time passed. Soon, ten days had gone by.
Xiao Chen woke up early and arrived in front of his mother's grave without eating. He said softly to the gravestone, "Mother, Chen'er is leaving. She is going back to the academy. I will come to see you later." "I'll be fine, don't worry …"
"Xiao Chen, it's time to eat." Murong Qianer called out and Xiao Chen walked back with a smile.
Looking at the food on the table, Xiao Chen could not help but smile.
"Qian Er, you're like a little wife now, whoever marries you in the future will have a blessing in disguise."
Murong Qianer snorted.
"Of course. I will go to the kitchen in the hall, and practice cooking is unparalleled in the world. Whoever marries me will have eight lifetimes of good fortune."
Xiao Chen smiled and lowered his head to eat.
Murong Qianer blushed as she looked at Xiao Chen.
"Idiot …"
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at Murong Qianer, "Qian'Er, what did you say?"
Murong Qianer anxiously replied: "I said, we have been out for quite some time, it should be time for us to return to Blue Phoenix Academy."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Alright, let's go back after dinner."
Flying birds flapped their wings, and the two of them stood on the back of the flying bird and quickly left. After they returned to Blue Phoenix Academy, Xiao Chen appeared confident once again. When he saw the towering Azure Phoenix Ranking, he could not help but smile.
"This time, I, Xiao Chen, am going to have a good fight …"
