"He really did find her." Fey stood up, feeling a bit panicked. Now that he had found Qi Xing, it was obvious what he would do next. Perhaps he would not even wait for a minute … because every minute he wasted, Sha Sha would be in more danger, and the Fate-Defying Heavenly Orb would be in more danger of being used.
"What are you planning to do then?" Fey asked.
"I'm going to find her!" Ling Chen looked towards the south, his gaze becoming more and more resolute.
"Right now?" Even though she had expected this, hearing Ling Chen say these words, her heart still trembled.
"That's right!" Ling Chen unhesitatingly nodded. "If I can sense her, she'll definitely be able to sense me. Perhaps she'll also be able to sense Wan Chong and Rahu's deaths. However, a person who was originally invincible suddenly realized that there was someone who could pose a threat to her. Coupled with the nature of a woman, she would definitely subconsciously feel a sense of insecurity that she had never felt before. Adding on Wan Chong and Rahu's deaths, the Burning Heavens Plan will not be able to continue. If she kills Wan Chong and Rahu, she'll definitely realise that this person is her enemy. In that case, what will she do? "
Fey thought about it and immediately understood. "You're saying that she'll not wait for the Godchild to grow, and she'll immediately absorb the Godchild's power?"
"That's right!" Ling Chen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "If Qi Xing really absorbs all of Sha Sha's power, it's possible that her lifeforce will wither away … no! I definitely can't let that happen! I have to find her immediately! Even if I can't defeat Qi Xing, I have to save Sha Sha with my life! "
Fey went up and grabbed his hand. "Are you really going to …"
"Big brother, Aunty Gu has woken up!"
Before Fey could finish speaking, Tian Tian ran out of the house and excitedly called out to them. Ling Chen and Fey simultaneously turned, and Ling Chen stared in surprise before rushing into the house.
Gu Qing Han was still quite weak, but her face was slightly rosy, showing that she was fine. Seeing Ling Chen rushing in, she saw the excitement and worry in his eyes. She smiled warmly. "Ling Chen, I heard from them that you've woken up … That's great."
Facing Gu Qing Han's gentle gaze and smile, Ling Chen felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart. He deeply remembered the scene of him stabbing the Lunar Scourge Moon Deities into her body … before, he had some doubts about whether or not Gu Qing Han was his mother. However, when her blood had landed on his hands, his entire body, heart, and soul had an incredibly intense reaction. That reaction was like a voice roaring in his ears … this is your blood! She's your closest relative … your birth mother!
It was an indescribable and indescribable feeling. Perhaps, it was the legendary blood connection.
Standing in front of Gu Qing Han's bed, Ling Chen continuously avoided her gaze. His lips moved for a long time before he said with difficulty, "I'm sorry …"
Gu Qing Han smiled and shook her head. "You didn't do it on purpose, so why are you apologizing? Moreover, not only is my life not in danger, but even my wounds have miraculously disappeared. You don't have to blame yourself at all. "
Gu Qing Han was publicly acknowledged as the number one woman in the southern region of Hua Xia. Her gaze was incredibly sharp and dignified, and even most men with high statuses didn't dare to directly meet her gaze. However, her gaze was incredibly gentle because it was the gaze of a mother looking at her son. Under this gaze, Ling Chen's body flowed with an indescribable warmth. However, after saying the word 'I'm sorry', Ling Chen didn't know what to say. After a while, he asked the question that he had been wanting to ask for a long time, "What happened after I was born? Long Zheng Yang told me that it was because someone said that I had a Fiendish Fate, and that I almost killed you, so … "
Gu Qing Han stared in surprise, not expecting him to suddenly ask such a question. She fell silent for a while before softly replying, "Before, this was the Long family's greatest secret, and no matter how much I hated the Long family, I never wanted to tell anyone about it. However, let alone the Long family, Earth has already disappeared, so this is no longer a secret. Moreover, even though you don't want to admit it, you have the Long family's blood flowing through your veins, so you have the right to know about this. "
Li Xiao Xue, who had been standing by the bed this entire time, got up and prepared to leave.
"Xiao Xue, you don't need to leave. Right now, we're the only survivors, so there's no need for any secrets between us," Gu Qing Han called out to Li Xiao Xue.
"Aunty Gu …" Li Xiao Xue smiled gratefully and sat down by her side, looking at Ling Chen lovingly. That's right, they were the only survivors … Earth really had been destroyed. That wasn't a joke, a dream, or an illusion …
Gu Qing Han gathered her thoughts and started to talk about the Long family's secret, "No matter how powerful or prosperous a family is, there will always be a day when it falls. In history, there were many families that had lasted for 100 years, and for a family to be able to last for 100 years is already an incredible thing. After all, in ancient times, the longest dynasty in Hua Xia's history was only a few hundred years. On the other hand, the Long family had existed in Huaxia for nearly a thousand years. However, they went from being nameless to famous, and then to the pinnacle of Huaxia. Moreover, they had been at the pinnacle for hundreds of years without any signs of decline. This doesn't conform to the rules of history, and the reason behind this is something that ordinary people can't even imagine.
"That's because behind the Long family, there have always been 3 special guardians. Only the Long family's leader knows about these 3 people after inheriting the position of leader. I only knew about them because of your birth, and because of this, I was almost killed by those 3 people … no one knows their names anymore, only their titles: 'Dragon Blood', 'Dragon Claw', and 'Dragon Scale'. "
"So those 3 titles refer to 3 people?" Li Xiao Xue couldn't help but ask. She had mentioned those 3 titles to Ling Chen before, and they were secrets that she had paid a great price to obtain. However, she only knew that those 3 titles were the Long family's greatest secrets, but she didn't know what they represented.
"That's right, 3 people. They are the 3 loyal guardians of the Long family's leader from 1,000 years ago. After that leader died, they still loyally protected the Long family … "
"1,000 years? You're saying … they've lived for at least 1,000 years? This … "Li Xiao Xue's face was filled with shock and disbelief. She started to understand why Gu Qing Han had said that the reason behind this was something that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
"It sounds quite ridiculous, but it's the truth. Not only do they have monstrous lifespans, but they also have monstrous abilities. They've always been protecting something called the 'Dragon Vein', and as long as the 'Dragon Vein' isn't damaged, the Long family's fortune will never decline. Once the Long family is about to be destroyed, they will appear and stop the disaster … Ling Chen, do you believe all of this? "
"I do," Ling Chen unhesitatingly nodded.
1,000 years of lifespan … Dragon Vein … most people would only think of these things as fantasies. However, Ling Chen completely believed them, and he even thought of the only possibility …
That was, these three people must have been the reincarnations of the three Gods of the Primordial God Clan, and they had awakened their Divine Souls. This was the only possibility that allowed them to have such a long lifespan and the power to protect the Long family for thousands of years.
"After you were born, the 3 of them suddenly appeared … that's why I knew of their existence. They said that your fate was extremely ominous, and that when you were born, the Long family's Dragon Vein trembled. They said that they had to immediately get rid of you, or else it would greatly affect the Fate of the Dragon Vein, or even cause the Dragon Vein to collapse, causing the Long family to decline.
"Those 3 people's words were incredibly powerful, but in the end, you were Long Zheng Yang's biological son. Back then, Long Zheng Yang didn't want to get rid of you, nor did he want to abandon you. Under his insistence, the 3 of them gave in, and Long Zheng Yang also gave in … you stayed in the Long family, but you couldn't have the 'Long' surname. The Long family's people had to keep as far away from you as possible, and they couldn't even teach you martial arts … they said that this was the best way to reduce the impact of your ominous aura on the Long family's bloodline, as well as to suppress its growth.
"As for me, they told me that my body contained the ominous aura that you had left behind after you were born. If I got too close to you, your ominous aura would cause my life to be in danger, and I had to leave you for at least 10 years until the ominous aura completely dissipated …"
"… …" What Gu Qing Han had said was exactly the same as what Long Zheng Yang had said. As for … the ominous aura … the 3 Guardians had said that he had the ominous aura, and Daoist Tian Qing in the Mystic Moon world had also been incredibly shocked when he had read his fate … wasn't his fate extremely ominous as well … he had slaughtered countless lives, and he had even destroyed Earth.
What he said was absolutely correct. On Earth, it was impossible to find someone with a more ominous aura than mine … Ling Chen thought to himself mockingly.
"Back then, I didn't believe those words at all, but Long Zheng Yang believed them, and his father Long Yun Ting believed them as well … I was forced to leave you and return to the south. During those years, I thought about you every day, wanting to know how you were doing and what you looked like. I hoped that time would pass faster so that I could see you again after 10 years. I hated the Long family for 10 years … but after 10 years, what I saw was … was …"
Speaking to there, Gu Qing Han once again choked up as she thought back to when she had first heard the grievous news. Ten years of bitter hope, only to receive the news of his death. What a heavy and cruel blow that was.
Ling Chen felt a great pain in his heart. He did not let Gu Qing Han continue. After being heavily injured, she was already quite weak, and if she continued, she would tire herself out. He turned to the side and softly said, "Mum, rest well … I'm going to do some things and will be back soon."
After saying this, he softly left the room and closed the door behind him.
Only after Ling Chen had left for a long time did Gu Qing Han come back to her senses. She looked at Li Xiao Xue and asked with a hazy gaze, "What … did he … just call me?"
Li Xiao Xue smiled and said, "He called you 'Mom' just now, very clearly."
Gu Qing Han pulled over the blanket, covering her tear-stained face. She did her best not to cry out loud, but her shoulders trembled.
