Chen Ping An closed his eyes, tears already streaming down his face.
Lu Chen looked at the calm Chen Sui Nian.
Ning Yao, on the other hand, glanced at Chen Ping An, then at Chen Sui Nian, and finally at Lu Chen.
She felt the atmosphere was a bit strange!
In the end, Chen Sui Nian let out a sigh, expelling a breath of stale air.
Actually, Chen Sui Nian had already figured it out earlier: his parents both died unnatural deaths.
Chen Quan must have known the town's secret. For Chen Ping An's freedom, he used his life to shatter Chen Ping An's Fate Porcelain.
What is Fate Porcelain? (Refer to the original text of "Jian Lai" for details)
The sect or person who owns the Fate Porcelain essentially controls that person's life. That person becomes almost like a puppet.
Three thousand years ago, after the Dragon Slaying Battle, the four Saintly Masters of the Four Teachings decreed that every sixty years, a new Saintly Master would be chosen to suppress the deceased Dragon's lingering fortune.
The four Saintly Masters were from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the School of War.
Other Hundred Schools of Thought also participated, and sects and families could purchase Fate Porcelain.
For now, this is all Chen Sui Nian could deduce.
Perhaps with more time, Chen Sui Nian could figure out more.
The couple's fate made Chen Sui Nian uncomfortable!
They didn't want their son to be controlled for the rest of his life, so they died without hesitation.
When he saw the couple die.
Although he wasn't close to them, or even knew them, he still felt a pang of sadness!
They could have lived peacefully for a lifetime, but for their son, they ultimately met a tragic end.
Before dying, they still blessed him, hoping he would stay safe.
The death of a kiln worker and an ordinary woman, what kind of waves could it create?
In the bottomless abyss of the Li Zhu Cave Heaven, it was utterly insignificant.
Even the concealment technique used to cover up their deaths was so casual, so trivial, it wasn't even worth mentioning.
It was just two ordinary people who died...
“May my little Sui Nian also be safe and sound.”
Those words made him fall silent.
“Lu Chen, if you were me, what would you do?”
After watching the scene unfold, Lu Chen also fell silent.
He couldn't just answer carelessly.
“If it's just fate's cruelty, then I have nothing to say! But what makes me angry is, does that mastermind think they're very clever, being able to toy with others' fates at will?”
“Even if that were all, they didn't even take it seriously, not even willing to ‘pretend’,”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, but his eyes were calm and still.
Lu Chen held his head, he could see it, Chen Sui Nian wanted to flip the table!
Lu Chen asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
Chen Sui Nian withdrew his smile, saying, “What else can I do? Swallow it down, of course.”
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Chen Sui Nian, really?
Chen Sui Nian mumbled to himself, “What else? What can I do? Fight back? Seek help from elders? That's making a big deal out of nothing!”
“Besides, I still have a younger brother to look after, and I promised ‘A Liang’ to take good care of Ning Yao, I can't go crazy.”
Lu Chen asked, “You… giving up?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “Of course not! I just can't flip the table, but making a few moves here and there, no problem!”
Chen Sui Nian sneered, whispering, “Don't worry, it's a long game. Once I get these two settled, I'll come to settle the score. I'm not in a hurry, the worst-case scenario is my senior brother and the old man stepping in, I won't lose my life.”
Lu Chen nodded.
“Don't worry! You know me, I don't like to fight!”
Actually, Lu Chen didn't believe Chen Sui Nian's words at all.
He knew Chen Sui Nian better than anyone.
If he could fight, he wouldn't just talk!
No one knew him better than him. Back in the southern part of Hao Ran, in the Middle-Earth Divine State, what kind of chaos did he cause? That temper…
You may not know what kind of person you are, but I do.
Chen Sui Nian said, “Alright, Lu Chen, are you staying?”
Lu Chen looked at the smiling Chen Sui Nian and nodded.
With that expression of yours like you want to chop someone up, if I don't stay, you'd probably go crazy, wouldn't you?
Lu Chen sighed in exasperation.
Chen Ping An and Ning Yao had also heard Chen Sui Nian's conversation with Lu Chen. Ning Yao pouted, and Chen Ping An remained silent.
Unlike Ning Yao, Chen Ping An thought more deeply, and pondered more things.
Chen Sui Nian glanced at the house and walked over to Chen Ping An.
Although he was only six years older than Chen Ping An, Chen Sui Nian was two heads taller.
Chen Sui Nian gently stroked Chen Ping An's head, softly saying, “All these years, it must have been hard, right?”
Chen Ping An shook his head, “It's okay, it was a bit tough at first, but I got used to it.”
Chen Sui Nian sighed and said, “My… if I had come earlier, you might not have had to suffer so much.”
Chen Ping An's lips twitched slightly, he didn't speak, just looked down at his straw sandals.
Chen Sui Nian said, “Don't worry, those who bullied you, those who cursed at you, don't worry, I'll get them one by one!”
Chen Sui Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was calm!
Chen Ping An remembered what Daoist Lu Chen had told him, asking him to get his brother to calm down and not cause trouble for him.
So he spoke up, “Bro… brother, I'm fine! I…”
But before he could finish, Chen Sui Nian patted Chen Ping An's shoulder and softly said, “What if someone bullied your loved ones, would you help them?”
Chen Ping An was speechless for a moment.
Chen Sui Nian said, “Alright, leave this to your brother now, don't worry, I'll know my limits!”
Chen Ping An nodded.
At that moment, Chen Ping An's stomach suddenly grumbled, Chen Ping An blushed.
Chen Sui Nian looked outside, it was noon.
Chen Sui Nian said to Lu Chen, “Lu Chen, do you know where the town market is, where they sell vegetables and butcher meat?”
Lu Chen said, “I do, what’s wrong?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “We’ll go buy some vegetables, I'm cooking.”
“You know how to cook?”, Lu Chen was a bit surprised!
“Of course I do.”
Lu Chen said, “How come I didn’t know that?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “How could you know? If you knew, I'd be worked to death. Come on, lead the way.”
Before leaving, Chen Sui Nian told Chen Ping An to wait for him.
Chen Sui Nian got up and walked towards the door, Lu Chen followed closely behind.
“Hey, Chen Sui Nian, when did you learn to cook? Is it good?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “I've known how to cook for a long time. As for the taste, don't worry, it won't poison you!”
Lu Chen said, “I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms!”
“I still haven’t settled the score for last time, and you dare to make requests?”
