Chapter 213: The Secrets of the Chen Family
“How do you say it?”
Lin Feng’s gaze shifted slightly.
Regarding this matter, Chen Yishui had only mentioned it to him last night, but since it had been so long, he hadn’t thought much about it.
“When my mother died, I had just turned eleven! So I remember some things quite clearly.”
“Her health was always good, but one day she suddenly fell asleep and never woke up! The doctor we called said it was sudden death… My father didn’t believe it and brought in a healer from Yaowang Valley…”
“And it was from that day on that my father met Zhang Miao.”
“This woman looks very charming and bold… but for some reason, she gives me the feeling that she is very scheming! So I’ve always had a sense that my mother’s death is somehow related to her!”
Chen Yinuo spoke in a continuous stream.
After listening, Lin Feng asked, “Have you ever said this to your father?”
“No! My father really likes Zhang Miao; how could I dare to tell him this… Besides, as I grew up, it became meaningless to say it!”
“Calculating the time, it’s been twenty years! Even if there was something, we can’t investigate it now!”
Chen Yinuo’s expression was complex.
“That may not be the case; if you want to investigate, I can help you!”
Lin Feng replied.
“How can you help? My mother’s remains are probably gone…”
“Just search Zhang Miao’s soul; of course, if you don’t want her to become an idiot, I have other methods, but they are a bit troublesome.”
“Uh!”
Chen Yinuo was momentarily stunned by his words, just about to say something.
At that moment,
Chen Yishui cautiously walked over and said:
“Sister, Brother-in-law, did I come at a bad time?”
“No, you came at just the right time!”
Chen Yinuo gestured for her sister to come over and have breakfast together.
“I just ate, I came to call Brother-in-law! Grandpa Beixuan wants to talk to Brother-in-law.”
Chen Yishui said.
…
Soon,
Lin Feng arrived at the room where Chen Beixuan was.
At a glance,
Chen Beixuan was sitting in a chair.
He held the Longyun Sword in his hand, his gaze slightly moving, lost in thought, not even noticing Lin Feng entering.
“Ahem…”
Lin Feng lightly coughed, interrupting Chen Beixuan’s thoughts.
“Lin Feng, you’re here! Sit down first.”
Chen Beixuan came back to his senses and smiled.
He was quite satisfied with this son-in-law of the Chen family.
Chen Beixuan was obsessed with the sword path, had no children in his life, and only had Chen Shan as a nephew. Unfortunately, Chen Shan was too mediocre, and the Chen family gradually fell into decline under his management.
He then placed his hopes on the two brothers Chen Qianheng and Chen Qianxu, but one was too soft and the other too bold, lacking adaptability.
Now with Lin Feng’s appearance, his thoughts changed all at once…
Lin Feng’s strength was unfathomable; although his personality seemed cold, he actually had a unique charm. Otherwise, Ye Tianxin wouldn’t be so loyal to Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng didn’t have the surname Chen, in his eyes, the identity of a son-in-law was already enough!
Of course, before deciding to hand over the Chen family to Lin Feng, he still needed to have an in-depth conversation with Lin Feng to understand his capabilities.
“Senior Beixuan, did you look for me because of last night’s incident? There’s no need to worry about that; whoever comes today will die! If it really comes to that, I’ll just destroy the Qingcheng Sword Sect! Just right, I’m in need of spirit stones.”
Lin Feng spoke first.
Chen Beixuan couldn’t help but sigh and said:
“Lin Feng, are you really that confident in your strength?”
“It’s not that I’m confident, but you are all too weak! Since I came out, not a single one has been able to fight.”
Lin Feng replied.
Chen Beixuan said, “This world is not as simple as you think; many figures, once they appear, will make you feel terrified.”
“Hehe…”
Lin Feng chuckled, noncommittal.
Seeing Lin Feng smile, Chen Beixuan felt quite helpless.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked:
“Lin Feng, may I ask, what level of strength do you currently possess?”
“Nascent Soul stage, have you heard of it?”
Lin Feng said casually.
It seemed that very few people in today’s world knew about cultivation, as if there had been a sudden break in knowledge, so he didn’t think Chen Beixuan would know!
But the next moment,
Chen Beixuan looked shocked and said:
“You really are a cultivator! From the moment you gave me the Longyun Sword, I guessed you were a cultivator!”
“You… know?”
Lin Feng was taken aback.
“I know a little!”
Chen Beixuan nodded solemnly and continued:
“The last generation of cultivators on Earth appeared around 221 BC, which has been over two thousand years ago! After that, cultivators disappeared in a short time, leaving no trace!”
“221 BC?”
Lin Feng frowned.
“That’s right! That was the end of the pre-Qin period, when there were many pre-Qin Qi practitioners, all of whom were cultivators…”
Chen Beixuan replied.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Beixuan, surprised, and asked:
“How do you know about this?”
“Because there was once a cultivator in my Chen family’s ancestry. The world thinks my Chen family is a secular family, but they don’t know that my Chen family has been passed down for thousands of years!”
“Chen Beixuan, Chen Beixuan… Beixuan is just a title. Every strongest person in my Chen family is called Chen Beixuan! This is a rule set by our first ancestor!”
As Chen Beixuan said this, he slowly took out a piece of tattered cloth from his storage bag.
“This is… the skin of a Miao beast?”
Lin Feng was astonished!
Miao is an ancient exotic beast whose skin is impervious to water and fire, and difficult for ordinary objects to break.
Writing on Miao skin causes the text to quickly hide and can be preserved for a very long time.
He had previously obtained a piece of Miao skin at an auction during the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce and learned basic puppet techniques from it…
He didn’t expect Chen Beixuan to have this as well.
“That’s right! This is indeed the skin of the exotic beast Miao, which records the inheritance left by my Chen family’s first ancestor, but unfortunately, it requires the blood of a cultivator to open!”
“After the pre-Qin period, cultivators became hard to find.”
Chen Beixuan said.
Lin Feng understood Chen Beixuan’s meaning, so he immediately pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto it.
In the blink of an eye,
A faint glow appeared on the tattered Miao skin, and lines of text floated up.
Chen Beixuan excitedly picked up the Miao skin but found that the characters were oracle bone script, which he couldn’t read.
“I’ll do it! This is cultivation text; I can read it.”
Lin Feng took the Miao skin, examined it closely, and his expression immediately became strange as he said:
“Are you… sure this is an inheritance?”
“What’s wrong? Is it some kind of cultivation method?”
Chen Beixuan said excitedly.
If it were a cultivation method, then the rise of their Chen family would be just around the corner!
Lin Feng remained silent for a moment and said:
“If I told you this is a cheesy love letter, what would you think?”
