Cloud State City, the Xiao Clan's encampment. When Chen Hao and the others returned from their rewarding journey, they saw that the encampment manor was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and was filled with a festive atmosphere. Luxurious carriages were parked on both sides of the wide road outside the entrance, and along the way, numerous well-dressed and luxurious people brought along one or two young men and women, as well as servants carrying gifts, as they poured into the Xiao Clan's encampment with faces beaming with happiness …
Xiao Guan, as well as several Elders and Guest Elders who had rushed over from their families, stood at the entrance to welcome the guests with glowing faces.
"Sister Mei, what is this? A celebration banquet? "Chen Hao asked in surprise as he saw the scene from afar.
"You can say that. This is also a tradition. Every year, on the day of the Cloud State Martial Gathering, all the big families will open their doors for guests. Merchants, nobles, and small forces from all over Yunzhou County who had business dealings with or wanted to cooperate with him would pay him a visit. This is also one of the main sources of income for us martial arts families. A few years ago … "Xiao Mei's charming eyes gazed at the somewhat crowded luxurious carriage through the window of the carriage. Her expression flashed with a hint of sadness. After a slight pause, she continued," Because our Xiao Clan was suppressed by the Helian Clan in every aspect, Yunzhou's Martial Meet was getting worse year by year. At that time … there were not many people around, it was cold and cheerless … "
Xiao Mei turned her small face to look at Chen Hao. Her face showed a touch of emotion as she stared at Chen Hao and said, "But now, it's all good, because of you … Thank you!"
"Yes, Xiang Hao, you don't know how miserable we were two years ago … Motherf * cker, they are all snobbish people. Now that they know you will be great in the future, you see … this year, our Xiao Family's doorstep will be crowded! But … this feeling is really glorious, hehe … Xiang Hao, you can't leave and never return. Forget about your brothers … Even if you look at us, you can't forget about the great beauty Sister Mei and the little cutie Ling Er, right? "
"Pa!"
Xiao Mei slapped Xiao Jishan's head and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Although that's what they said, both Xiao Mei and Di Ling Yan's face turned red.
"Brother Tianci is not that kind of person …" The simple and honest Buttface didn't hide his admiration for Chen Hao at all. He stared at Xiao Jishan with a serious expression.
The corner of Chen Hao's mouth revealed a faint smile. He didn't say anything, but his deep black eyes flashed with an emotion that the crowd couldn't quite understand but made their hearts tremble. His eyes stared out of the car, as if they had become illusory …
In the past, he had pursued immortality all his life. In countless fields, he had created countless splendor and glory that shook the entire world. But at that time, had he ever been truly happy?
In the eyes of the world, he was cold, merciless, overbearing, and stubborn. No one could enter his heart. Even the most beautiful woman in the world could only make him stop for a moment. She was just a tool for him to vent his physical desires …
No one could stop him. Until the last moment of his life, he was still alone in this world!
Countless psychologists had studied him. The conclusion was that he was an orphan. After his childhood experience and his amazing talent, he had encountered some people who had approached him with ulterior motives and hurt him for their own benefits. This had caused him to close his heart and become cold and merciless. His heart was as hard as ice.
This was indeed the case, but it wasn't completely the case.
Because as his achievements became higher and higher, even those who had treated him sincerely admired and respected him. But more than that, they feared him. No one dared to treat him as a friend, and no one thought that they were qualified to be his friend. No woman had the confidence to enter his heart.
Who would share the glory and glory?
If there was no one to share the glory and glory with, how could there be true happiness?
What was the meaning of that?
He stubbornly believed that he hadn't done enough. He stubbornly believed that one day, someone would understand him!
But …
In the end, he didn't do it.
Now, he had become Chen Hao, and Chen Hao was him. Chen Hao was just a teenager. He didn't have the glory and glory of his father. But he had the things that his father didn't have and longed for, such as family and friendship …
A little achievement, compared to his past self, was really just a little achievement. However, the changes he had brought to Xiao Mei, Xiao Ling 'er, Buttface, Xiao Jishan, and the other people close to him made Chen Hao feel warm from the bottom of his heart. It was a warmth that he had never tasted before …
Is this what true happiness looks like? Is this true happiness?
In the depths of his heart, his other self, whose heart was as hard as ice, felt as if he was bathing in the warm and gentle sunshine. Gradually, he melted and was overflowing with spring …
At this moment, to the surprise of Xiao Mei, Xiao Jishan, and the others, an invisible aura suddenly emitted from Chen Hao's body. That aura was like the warmest and most gentle sunshine in the world. It enveloped and illuminated them …
Everyone had a mysterious and profound feeling. At this moment, they seemed to have touched Chen Hao's heart and entered Chen Hao's world. As they bathed under the warm and gentle sunlight, it caused their souls to seem as if they'd become white clouds that drifted in the sky, unrestrained and unrestrained. They also seemed as if they'd become fish that swam freely in the water, roaming freely and following their hearts …
The galloping sound of the horses, the shouting of the coachman, and the noise of the crowd gradually faded away in everyone's hearts. The giant carriage became quiet, but it was filled with a faint lively aura. That was the vitality of the fusion of souls and the resonance of souls …
Unknowingly, everyone slowly closed their eyes …
"What a comfortable feeling …" The coachman driving the carriage suddenly felt that his mind was very peaceful. A kind of joy that he had never felt before appeared in his heart. What made him feel even more strange was that even the old horse that was pulling the carriage seemed to have suddenly glowed with vigor. Its strenuous footsteps also became lighter, as if it was stepping on a musical note, making the carriage more stable.
"Ah … we're here!" While the coachman was still in a daze, he suddenly discovered that the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family's encampment. He hurriedly pulled the reins and loudly shouted, "Neigh …"
The subtle atmosphere suddenly disappeared as Chen Hao's mind returned. Everyone also came back to their senses. They were incomparably astonished. What just happened?
"Chief Instructor, it's us!"
At this moment, Chen Hao stuck his head out and shouted to Xiao Guan, who was standing at the entrance, "There are a lot of things. Can our carriage go in?"
"Ah? Good, good! Quickly put them down and go to the banquet hall. Elder Xiao, the head of the family, and the mayor are all waiting for you! " When Xiao Guan saw that it was Chen Hao and the others, he naturally understood what Chen Hao meant by "a lot of things". He immediately said with a rare smile.
…
The banquet lasted until late at night. Although Chen Hao's heart was reluctant, and he was still thinking about the black box that he got from the Dongfang Family, he still insisted on bringing it to the end. It was not because he enjoyed the flattery of others and was surrounded by stars. Those were meaningless to him. He insisted until the end only because of the Xiao Family.
In the wee hours of the morning, after the so-called important guests gradually dispersed, Chen Hao returned to his room.
Tomorrow, he would leave Yunzhou City and return to the Xiao Family's headquarters. In only a month's time, Chen Hao would have to leave Yunzhou. Therefore, what Chen Hao wanted most now was to return to Taiping Town and quietly stay with his parents, brother, and sister for a month.
He knew that all of this was just the beginning. If he wanted to protect his current glory and status, he had to keep moving forward!
Leaving was a must, and it was inevitable!
After Chen Hao locked the door, he directly walked into the cultivation room and sat cross-legged on the mat. He took out the black box that filled him with curiosity.
The moment he held it in his hand, a strange wave suddenly appeared in Chen Hao's mind. What surprised Chen Hao was that this wave was actually out of his control. It was like a tentacle that made a slight hissing sound and escaped from between his eyebrows. It was colorless and formless. Even with Chen Hao's amazing eyesight, he could not see any abnormalities. However, his mind could sense it very clearly. It was a thin and pure energy that seemed to be spiritual energy, directly entwining around the black box …
"Hua …"
At this moment, an unbelievable scene appeared in front of Chen Hao's eyes. The pitch-black box, following the contact of the tentacle, suddenly emitted a bright light, instantly illuminating the entire cultivation room. At the same time, a majestic and pure energy flowed along the tentacle and started to enter between Chen Hao's eyebrows at a terrifying speed!
What shocked Chen Hao even more was that the energy had clearly entered his body, but the moment it entered his mind, it disappeared without a trace!
"This …" This familiar feeling made Chen Hao's eyes widen. Back when he was cultivating in the Magic Cloud Mountains, his Origin Energy mysteriously disappeared. Wasn't it like this? At that time, Chen Hao did not understand what was going on at all. He even thought that there was something wrong with his body. But now, Chen Hao could clearly feel that there was another mysterious existence in his body. Otherwise, how could it be that he could not control it and draw out his energy? How could the extracted energy disappear without a trace after fusing with his body?
"How could this be?"
Chen Hao was shocked. He realized that his body was still under his control and was not affected in any way. However, he could not stop this strange thing. Even if he threw the wooden box far away, it was useless. The tentacle that spread out from between his eyebrows was still locked onto the wooden box, causing it to float in the air and continue to absorb the energy within!
"Who are you? Who are you? "Chen Hao asked loudly in his mind in shock.
This time, it was different from the last time because he knew very well that he was now Chen Hao and Li Yuan's body. It was impossible for there to be another him in his mind.
