Changyang Ba wanted to reject Jian Chen’s proposal of going alone, but Jian Chen had been adamant in his decision. So in the end, Changyang Ba had no choice but to agree.
After the discussions were over, Bi Dao said, “From what I heard in the royal palace, the Hua Yun Sect has already received the news and is moving towards Lore City at top speed. They’ll be at Lore City by late afternoon at the very latest, so it would be best if you send Changyang Xiang Tian away from Lore City as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’ll be too late by nighttime.”
Everyone’s faces became solemn once more. Then, Chang Bai stood up and said, “Then let’s have the fourth master gather his things before I take him away on the Eagle Beast.”
Soon after that, everyone started to leave the main hall.
“Xiang’er, please go to mother’s room; there are matters we must discuss.” Bi Yuntian said as she walked towards her room.
After entering her room, Bi Yuntian pulled Jian Chen with her to sit with him. By this point, Bi Yuntian’s cheeks had tears streaming down her face. She knew in her heart that after Jian Chen left Changyang Mansion, it would be a very long time before the mother and son would be able to meet again. Life in the Tian Yuan Continent was complex, and Jian Chen didn’t know what hardships he would go through or what unfortunate events would happen to him, so this was possibly the last time the mother and son would ever see each other again.
“Xiang’er, you are no longer young in age and you’ll soon be leaving this place. So there are things that mother should tell you first.” Bi Yuntian’s tears shone like sparkling crystals as they dripped from her face, “Xiang’er, didn’t you ever think why it was strange that you didn’t have a grandfather or grandmother?”
Jian Chen nodded his head without making a sound.
