The Mystery of His Past
What was there to be curious about about his past?
He didn't have a father since he was young, it was his mother who raised him. He grew up in a family that couldn't be more normal. It could be said that he didn't have a past at all …
However, it wasn't so normal coming from Elder Lin's mouth. He had frequent contact with the people in that place, and from his expression, he seemed to know something.
"Elder Lin, just say it," a hint of nervousness appeared in Ye Zichen's eyes.
A hint of nervousness appeared in Ye Zichen's eyes. A single sentence from Old Man Lin caused his expression to drastically change.
When they returned to the mansion, Ye Rong went to wash the fruits with a smile as usual, while Ye Zichen sat on the sofa absentmindedly, and continuously wrote a word on the sofa with his finger.
Ye.
Gu.
If it wasn't for Elder Lin, he might not have thought of this problem.
Ye, it would be an ancient character after turning ninety degrees.
Truly, Chinese characters were deep and profound …
"Hachi, hachi …"
Lil 'White rubbed his pants. Ye Zichen raised his hand and rubbed his head.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Lil 'White sneaked a glance at the kitchen sink, then jumped onto Ye Zichen's leg and muttered.
"Boss, you have something on your mind?"
"You can tell that I have something on my mind as well?" Ye Zichen patted his head, then let out a disappointed sigh. "There is, and it's very heavy."
"Then …"
Just as Lil 'White was about to speak, Ye Rong walked out with a plate of fruits and placed it on the tea table.
"Zichen, eat some fruits."
The kind smile caused Ye Zichen's emotions to become even more complicated. He had followed his mother's surname since he was young.
Could it be that this ordinary mother of his was a member of the Gu Family, a hidden clan?
Ye Zichen nodded with a dry smile, then absentmindedly stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth with a toothpick.
"You've been very busy recently, you haven't been coming back much."
"Mhmm!"
"Then you have to pay attention to rest. Don't work so hard, if your body breaks down, then you'll suffer."
"Mhmm!"
Ye Zichen's absent-minded look finally caught Ye Rong's attention.
She stood up and sat beside Ye Zichen with a worried look.
"Zichen, are you in some trouble recently?"
Ye Zichen put the toothpick in his hand onto the tea table, then crossed his hands on his lap, then leaned over and thought for a long time …
"Mom, I want to ask you a question."
"What is it?" Ye Rong revealed a look of confusion. She could feel that something was off with Ye Zichen.
"Who is my father?"
Ye Zichen looked up and looked at Mother Ye with a burning gaze. This question had troubled him for a very long time.
Ye Rong's expression stiffened. She smiled bitterly and raised her hand to rub his head.
"This child, why do you suddenly want to ask this? Haven't we been living well all these years?"
"I just want to know." Ye Zichen frowned. "Every time I ask you, you'll find an excuse. Can you tell me this time …"
Silence.
The instant this feeling appeared, Ye Zichen smiled wryly and shook his head.
It was too familiar.
No matter how many times he asked Mother Ye about his father, Mother Ye used this kind of silence to deal with him.
After a while, Ye Zichen looked up and smiled.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore."
"Zichen, it's not that mom doesn't want to tell you, it's that …" Ye Rong revealed a troubled expression. "Mom has a problem."
"I understand, I won't ask anymore."
With that, Ye Zichen's expression suddenly tensed up.
"Then can you tell me, what relationship does our family have with the Gu family?"
All of a sudden.
Ye Rong's expression drastically changed when she heard the question. This intense emotional reaction was much more serious than when he asked who his father was.
"What are you talking about? What Gu family?"
After a long while, Mother Ye finally calmed her expression and smiled like she didn't know anything.
"Is what you said true?"
Ye Zichen looked up and stared straight into Mother Ye's eyes. He could feel his mother's evasion from her eyes …
"Mom doesn't understand what you're talking about. I'm a bit tired, so I'm going back to rest."
Ye Rong stood up from the sofa and quickly walked up to the second floor.
Ye Zichen looked at his mother's back for a long time without saying anything. At this moment, Lil 'White jumped up and licked his hand.
"Boss."
"Stay here properly. I'm a bit tired as well, so I'm going to rest."
Ye Zichen dragged his tired body back to the room.
Very tired.
Very tired.
Ye Zichen laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling. If there was no surprise, his mother definitely knew about the Gu family.
What's more, judging from her expression, their relationship wasn't normal.
Ye Zichen took out his phone out of habit and opened WeChat …
Ten-odd messages from Erlang Shen.
Ten-odd messages from Canopy Marshal.
A few messages from Third Prince Nezha.
Ten-odd messages from Great Sage Sun.
Even Taibai Jinxing left him a message.
There were also people continuously mentioning him in the Heavenly Court's WeChat group.
What's going on? Why did I suddenly become so popular?
Ye Zichen took a look at the 99 confirmation messages in his WeChat contact list, then glanced at the confirmation messages …
They were all scolding him!
F * ck, what's going on?
Ye Zichen looked at the deities that were scolding him in shock. Just what did I do to actually make the deities attack me together?
Dingdong.
At this moment, Han Xiangzi also sent a message.
"Congratulations!"
What the hell?
Even the Eight Immortals were alarmed. There's definitely something going on.
Ye Zichen frowned, then replied.
"I wonder what Brother Han is congratulating me for? This sovereign hasn't had any happy events recently!"
Within the Eight Immortals Palace.
Iron Crutch Li, Lü Dongbin and the rest of the Eight Immortals sat in a circle and chatted about the gossip they heard from their friends.
Han Xiangzi, who participated in the conversation, couldn't help but smile when he saw the message on his phone.
"Sky Sovereign Nameless is actually still playing dumb with me!"
"Hey, that's normal," Iron Crutch Li smiled as if he was experienced. Iron Crutch Li said with a smile, "After Fairy Chang 'e became her descendant, her immortal heart has never wavered. This Heavenly Venerable Nameless actually married the fairy, so it's normal for him to hide it."
"Yeah," Iron Crutch Li smiled as if he was experienced. Lan Caihe carried the basket and glanced at He Xiangu. "Didn't you and Xiangu only tell us the truth when you couldn't hide it anymore?"
"Lan Caihe!"
Immortal Lady He raised her eyebrows. There was a shiny diamond ring on her ring finger.
Han Xiangzi merely smiled dumbly in response. Meanwhile, Lü Dongbin took the chance to send a message to Ye Zichen.
"Sky Sovereign, stop hiding it. It's all exposed."
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen's phone vibrated once again.
At that moment, Ye Zichen was sitting in the car and reading the messages the other celestial friends sent him. All of them were congratulatory messages and random comments. Only the geezer, Taibai Jinxing, sent him a question mark.
Ye Zichen read all the messages in confusion, then became even more confused when he saw Lü Dongbin's message.
Stop hiding it!
