W-who are you? "
Chen Dengke was stunned at first, then he took a good look at him. He seemed to have recalled something as he said all of a sudden, "Y-you're the savior who saved me back then?"
18 years ago, he was only 24 years old when he was still a university student who had just graduated. He did not achieve anything and was rejected when he was looking for a job. Moreover, his girlfriend was about to give birth.
He offended someone because he was drunk at a bar. He was almost severed when he was caught. It was Ye Chen who saved him back then.
One could say that without Ye Chen, Chen Dengke would have died on the streets a long time ago, let alone achieve what he had today.
He had always remembered that. However, he had never seen Ye Chen since then. He did not even know Ye Chen's name.
18 years had passed, and he had buried that in his heart. Never had he thought that he would see that person again today.
What shocked him the most was that the face of his savior back then did not change at all. 18 years had passed, but he was still extremely young.
"I can't believe you still remember me." Ye Chen smiled lightly.
18 years ago, he had followed the advice of Old Chen, Niu Qingshan, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and the rest. He had put them into the wombs of women who were about to give birth in China.
Meanwhile, he had bumped into Chen Dengke on the way. He had saved him back then, but to his surprise, he noticed that Chen Dengke had a full forehead and was in good condition. There was even a red phoenix dancing between his brows.
He had determined that Chen Dengke would definitely be extraordinary in the future. Coupled with his good character and the fact that he had saved him, he decided to put Old Chen's soul into Chen Dengke's wife's womb.
"Zhao 'er!"
Chen Dengke suddenly pulled his son, Chen Zhao, and knelt hard to Ye Chen. "This is my savior 18 years ago. Without him, I would've been dead …"
Everyone turned pale with fright when they heard this.
The savior 18 years ago?
They thought they heard it wrong when they looked at Chen Dengke who was over 40 years old and Ye Chen who was over 20 years old.
Chen Dengke was old enough to be this young man's father, right?
Even the young man, Chen Zhao, was no exception. However, being filial, he pretended to kneel and kowtow to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen waved his sleeve and stopped the father and son from kneeling. He said while shaking his head, "There's no need for that. I'm here today to keep the promise I made to an old friend back then."
He paused for a moment before saying, "I wonder if you, father and son, are willing to come with me to a quiet place to talk?"
After the father and son nodded, he waved his sleeve and immediately carried the two of them and Niu Qingshan with the wind. They instantly disappeared on the spot.
"Immortal … Immortal?!"
Everyone was shocked. Some even knelt down on the ground and prayed piously.
Three living people disappeared in an instant. If they weren't immortals, what were they?
Only the old man called Wang Pan seemed to have thought of something as he excitedly said, "Cultivators, this is a cultivator. This is a supreme opportunity for Director Chen's family …"
…
On a mountain peak near the Chen Village, Ye Chen put down Chen Dengke and his son who looked horrified.
After the two of them had calmed down, he slowly said, "Next, I'm going to tell the two of you something that might shatter your inner world."
"You have to be mentally prepared."
Chen Dengke took a deep breath in after hearing that. He could not help but look at Ye Chen, "May I ask if you're an immortal cultivator, benefactor?"
He was worth over 100 million yuan now and was considered an upper-class person in Liangjiang. Naturally, he came into contact with more things than ordinary people.
Therefore, he vaguely knew about the existence of immortal cultivators. However, he did not have the opportunity to meet them.
Moreover, 18 years had passed, but Ye Chen's appearance remained the same. Apart from immortal cultivators, who else could do such a heaven-defying technique?
"That's right!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said while looking at Chen Zhao who was still in shock, "I'm here for your son today."
"For Zhao 'er?"
Chen Dengke was stunned at first, then he said in excitement, "Benefactor, could it be that Zhao … Zhao 'er has the potential to become an immortal?"
He knew very well what it meant to be an immortal cultivator.
"Yes!"
Ye Chen shook his head in between tears and laughter. He said, "But that's secondary. What's important is that your son was an old friend of mine in his past life. To be exact, he was an elder …"
"You'll understand after I tell you a story."
Before Chen Dengke could react, he slowly told him about how he knew Old Chen, how Old Chen went to Kunlun Mountain alone to attack Shang Santian to protect the Ye family, and how he died in the battle.
Heaven and earth seemed to fall into dead silence after listening to him. Chen Dengke and his son were shocked, and they could not snap back to their senses for a long time.
Ye Chen did not disturb them. Instead, he let them digest the information in their heads patiently. After all, what he said was too shocking to ordinary people.
A long while later, Chen Dengke finally snapped back to his senses. He glanced at Chen Zhao with a complicated expression and said, "So, benefactor, are you saying that my son is General Chen Tulong?"
"That's right," Ye Chen nodded.
Chen Dengke took a deep breath in and said while forcing a smile, "To be honest, I regret knowing about this secret. As a father, I …"
"I know you're conflicted," Ye Chen said.
"As a father, your son was once a pillar of the country. This makes you conflicted because there will be a lot of feelings between you and your son …"
Chen Dengke nodded while forcing a smile.
"I understand you very well. That's why I'm talking to you in detail today."
Ye Chen continued, "No matter what, it's a fact that your son is the reincarnation of my old friend. Of course, I won't force you guys to be father and son.
I have two ideas. You can take a look. "
He took a deep breath in and said, "Firstly, I'll unlock your son's memories from his past life and guide him to the Dao at the same time."
Chen Dengke's lips moved slightly.
"Secondly!"
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Secondly, I won't unlock his memories from his past life for now. I'll guide him to the Dao first and teach him cultivation methods. When he steps into Nascent Soul, he'll be able to awaken his memories from his past life on his own."
Chen Dengke remained silent.
Ye Chen did not force him. He said slowly, "No matter the first or second method, your son will awaken his memories from his past life. It's just a matter of time."
"Of course!"
He could not help but look at Chen Dengke as he spoke to this point, "Unless you want your son to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life and never step onto the path of cultivation. That way, you and your son might be able to enjoy family ties like ordinary people."
He had mixed feelings about Chen Dengke.
Although Chen Zhao was the reincarnation of Old Chen, his life in this life was given by Chen Dengke after all.
No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he could not take away a father's right to love his son. That was why he came up with these two ideas.
"Mr. Chen!"
Niu Qingshan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Earth is in danger now. I think you're a hot-blooded person. Are you willing to watch us fight alone?"
