In the vast void, a sword gleam broke through the layers of clouds and flashed through the void like a bolt of lightning.
Niu Qingshan, who was standing on the flying sword, turned around and glanced at the two rivers behind him. He sighed softly and said, "Fellow Ye, you don't have to worry too much. After all, everyone has their own choice."
Ye Chen flew on his sword with all his might and said with a faint smile, "I don't mind. Just as you said, everyone has their own choice."
In the end, Chen Dengke and his son were unwilling to unlock the memories of their previous lives. Instead, they chose the second method that Ye Chen provided.
Ye Chen taught Chen Dengke a cultivation method and left him many resources that he needed for cultivation. Then, he left with Niu Qingshan.
Not everyone was like Niu Qingshan.
Niu Qingshan had no parents since he was young. He did not have as many shackles as Chen Zhao, so he was more than happy to awaken the memories of his previous life.
However, Chen Zhao was different. In this life, he had parents and relatives who loved him, and he also had the ideals that he had in this life. It was easier said than done for him to give up so many things at once.
However, just as Ye Chen said, even if Chen Zhao chose to cultivate on his own, he would be able to awaken the memories of his previous life as long as he cultivated to Nascent Soul.
By then, he would be able to accept all of this.
As Ye Chen thought about that, he activated his flying sword with all his might, "After I find Second Uncle and Second Aunt, my trip will be considered complete!"
Back then, he had followed the last wishes of a few people. Now, it was time for it to blossom and bear fruit. There had to be an ending.
In a small district in Jinling City, China.
At that moment, the area was filled with police lines. Countless police officers knocked on doors and interrogated them. From time to time, they would take statements. The atmosphere was very serious.
In a family in Unit 502, Unit 5, Building C, the door was wide open. A slightly old woman was surrounded by many people.
The woman covered her face and cried, her eyes red.
"Sister Shufen, you have to take care of yourself!"
The neighbor comforted her sympathetically, "I believe the police will find Ye Chi. If you ruin your body, it won't be worth it."
"That's right. Technology is so advanced now. It's impossible for a living person to disappear without a trace."
The others comforted her.
The woman in front of them was called Chen Shufen. She usually made a living by buying vegetables at the market and lived alone with a son.
The neighbors were all very friendly and kind to this strong mother and son. They would help out whenever they could.
Three days ago, Chen Shufen's only son, Ye Chi, did not return home after school. At first, everyone thought that the child had gone to his classmate's house, but they could not find him after a whole day of searching.
Chen Shufen chose to call the police, but in the 48 hours after the police intervened, there was still no result.
On the contrary, in the past 48 hours, the police received reports from other families. The cases were very similar to Chen Shufen's family, and there were even people from wealthy families in Jinling City.
In just 48 hours, more than a dozen children had gone missing, all of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old.
The police increased the number of police reinforcements. At the same time, they issued a bounty notice and searched the entire city, but they were still unable to find anything.
"Ms. Chen!"
Looking at the heartbroken Chen Shufen, the third-grade superintendent in charge of this matter, Xiao Nan, could not help but say, "Don't worry, the police will definitely find your child."
"Everyone else, disperse."
Under her urging, everyone in the house shook their heads and returned to their own homes. At the same time, they closed their doors and did not allow their children to go out.
At that moment, a young man in green walked into the Ye residence slowly. There was a young man in black following behind him.
It was Ye Chen and Niu Qingshan.
He was here for his Second Uncle's reincarnation. Never had he thought that he would notice the changes that happened in the past three days.
As the duo appeared, a young superintendent at the scene shouted, "Gentlemen, the police have sealed this place. Please go back."
"That's why I'm here."
Ye Chen chuckled and glanced through the house. Eventually, he had his eyes on Chen Shufen.
"Who are you?"
The third-grade superintendent, Xiao Nan, looked at Ye Chen with a scrutinizing gaze because she had never seen Ye Chen's face in this neighborhood.
"I'm an old friend of the missing child."
Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Chen Shufen wiped her tears and lifted her head to look at him upon hearing that. "Sir, who are you?"
"You don't know him?"
A gleam flashed through Xiao Nan's eyes. There was a hint of caution in his eyes when he looked at Ye Chen again. "Since you're not a relative of this family, and you're not a member of the police force, please go back. The police will take responsibility for this."
However, Ye Chen shook his head. "You guys can't take responsibility for this."
He lifted his feet and stepped into the Ye residence after saying that. Xiao Nan was enraged. "Cuff him!"
A young superintendent forced a smile. He thought to himself that this young mistress had a hot temper. She would cuff someone just because of a disagreement.
However, he did not hesitate and cuffed Ye Chen without saying anything. He comforted him, "Brother, we suspect that you're related to this. Don't worry. We'll let you go as soon as we find out."
"I've told you guys that you guys can't take responsibility for this!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. As Xiao Nan and the rest watched in shock, the cuffs that were cuffing him were suddenly undone.
"Don't move!"
Xiao Nan took out her gun and aimed it at Ye Chen without saying anything. "Who exactly are you? I'm ordering you to squat down and put your hands on your head. "
However, Ye Chen walked straight to Chen Shufen as if he did not hear her.
Xiao Nan clenched her teeth and wanted to shoot into the air. However, she felt that Ye Chen merely glanced at her in the next second. The gun in her hand flew out of her hand and landed in Ye Chen's hand.
"Don't move!"
The other police officers were shocked as well. They aimed at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen picked up the gun slowly and aimed it at his head. Then, he pulled the trigger softly.
Everyone, including Xiao Nan, could not bear to close their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they were horrified to find that a bullet had appeared in Ye Chen's hand out of nowhere.
Ye Chen exerted force with his five fingers, and the bullet turned into metal powder that scattered on the ground. "Now, do you guys believe in my ability?"
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Ye Chen walked to Chen Shufen and smiled lightly. "I can help you find your son, but I need a piece of underwear that he often wears. It's best if it's unwashed."
Chen Shufen was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted. There was a glimmer in her numb eyes as she got up and walked into the bedroom to rummage through the drawers.
Meanwhile, Xiao Nan snapped back to her senses. She glared at Ye Chen with her beautiful eyes, "Which special department are you from?"
Although she had just graduated from the police academy, she still knew some things that ordinary people could not come into contact with, such as special cultivation organizations like the Dragon King Palace.
Ye Chen glanced at her with a forced smile, "Little girl, curiosity killed the cat."
"Hmph!"
