Shuo Xia City.
When the carriage arrived at the front door of the Shen family, the guard outside the door saw him from a distance. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the red door behind him, leading the carriage to welcome Shen Tanqi and the others in.
"Master, please, I will go and report to the master of the house." The servant moved the belongings for them, and then hurried to the main hall to report the news.
Pavilions and pavilions tower into the clouds, small bridges and pavilions gurgling water, and red cages carved with luan and phoenixes swaying in the wind.
The familiar furnishings made Shen Tanqi instantly recall the scene he saw in the deep sea shark beads.
Shark beads.
The head of the house and the eldest lady held his hand as he walked step by step on the small stone bridge. Occasionally, they stepped on the head of the house's feet, causing the head of the house to gasp in pain.When he got older, he was running across the bridge holding a kite, and the family head and several servants were chasing after him. He accidentally fell on the bridge, knocking out two front teeth, and was laughed at by the family head.For a long time.
As he thought about it, the corners of Shen Tanqi's lips slightly curved. At this moment, he finally felt like he had gone home for a long time.
This is his home, the home where he grew up.
The two sleepy little cubs woke up from the carriage. Shen Tanqi hugged Mianmian, gently scratched the pink nose of the sleepy goldfish, and said with a smile: "Still sleeping, little pig, you two should call meMianmian is the right one."
Goldfish held his hand, got into Shen Tanqi's arms affectionately and skillfully, and said softly: "Tandan is not a piglet, he needs to be held by daddy..."
Taro Yuan rubbed his eyes, then moved closer, pressed against Shen Tanqi's arm, and whispered: "Daddy, I want it too."
The first thing he does every time he wakes up is to give Shen Tanqi a hug and a kiss. Over time, it has become a must-have ritual for the two cubs after they wake up. They are very clingy.
Shen Tanqi chuckled helplessly, put Mianmian into Yu Ce's arms, and hugged and coaxed the cubs one by one.
After coaxing the little cub, Shen Tanqi held one hand and looked up at Yu Ce. The other person pursed his lips, as if he was a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Is it because the children always look for you first when they wake up, instead of looking for him first?
Yu Ce held the child in his arms, raised his eyes, and said in his ear: "Why do you tell me to get lost every time I ask you to hug me when I wake up?"
Shen Tanqi:......
He laughed a little when Yu Ce was angry, lowered his voice, and replied: "What do you think?"
Yu Ce pretended to be innocent and turned away his eyes, complaining in a low voice: "Anyway, Ah Qi is partial."
"Tsk."
Shen Tanqi's hands were itchy and wanted to hit someone.Some people are becoming more and more fond of being scolded.
The servant who reported the news before came back, allowing Yu Ce to escape the disaster, "Master, the master of the house is waiting for you in the main hall."
Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment and responded: "Okay."
Just as he was about to take a step, he paused and then took it back again.At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of cowardice in his hometown. He didn't know that the head of the family was his biological father before. He didn't think much about it. He just envied him for having such a doting family. Now that he knew it, Shen Tanqi felt in his heartOn the contrary, he became a little timid.
That's his father.
When he was a child, he held his father's hand as he grew up, just like he holds goldfish and taro balls now.
He had kept them waiting for too long.
Yu Ce seemed to be aware of his hesitation, gently pushed him on the waist, and whispered: "Let's go quickly, don't keep the master waiting. When the time comes, he will be reluctant to scold you, but will scold me to vent his anger."
Shen Tanqi immediately smiled when he thought of the owner's staring expression because he was too anxious to blow his beard. It seemed like something his father would do.The worries in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He nodded, held the hands of the two cubs, walked across the stone bridge that carried memories, bypassed the many corridors, and walked to the threshold of the main hall.
The door was open, as if waiting for him to come back, and his face could be seen at a glance.
Concubine Shen is not here, and there are only the master of the house and a few serving maids in the main hall. At this time, everyone else should be busy with their own things.
He raised his eyes and saw the head of the family sitting on the seat pretending to sample tea. He pursed his lips and called out: "Dad."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, his mind was shaken for a moment. Shen Tanqi's eyes turned red all of a sudden. He suppressed the sobs in his throat and said calmly, "I'm back."
He is back, bringing back those precious memories that he once lost.
The tea cup was placed on the table and made a crisp sound. The head of the family raised his eyelids and said, "I heard that you won third place in the sect competition. Why didn't you win first place?"
When the two cubs saw the owner of the house, they woke up from their sleepiness and happily ran over and shouted: "Grandpa, Grandpa..." like two strings of little gourd babies.
The head of the house smiled and hugged the cubs to him. He really couldn't get enough of holding his grandson. Just looking at them made him happy.
Shen Tanqi looked at the cubs and smiled, and answered him in a low voice: "Isn't it because my skills are inferior to others? Next time, next time I will be the first."
The head of the family was busy enjoying the pleasure of teasing his grandson, and without raising his head, he snorted and said: "I used to shout every day that I wanted to be the most powerful monk, but in the end I only got third place. I think you should just return to Shuo Xia honestly."Just inherit our family’s business!”
Hearing this, Shen Tanqi blinked and seemed to see the head of the family when he was young, chasing him all over the yard with a jade crutch and beating him. After all these years, the head of the family was still unwilling to let him practice immortality.
This is true, the road to immortality is not a smooth road, it is like entering the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself. The family leader should be worried about him, fearing that something will happen to him.
His eyes became hot again, and he said with ease, "Don't you have three precious grandchildren? There must be one of you who can inherit your family business for me."
Of course, I am talking about the little cub in my arms that has not yet opened its eyes.
"When my grandson is old enough to inherit the family business, your father will be dead a long time ago!" The head of the family was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but as soon as he moved, a bloody smell spread from his throat.
Last time when Yu Ce left Shuoxia City, he asked him if he wanted to use dragon beads for treatment.
But when he thought about what happened back then, he became even more angry and told Yu Ce to get out with Longzhu.
As a result, his illness became more and more serious in the past few days, and he would wake up coughing every night, and then he could not sleep all night.
Shen Tanqi noticed his weakness, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Dad, are you still taking that elixir these days?"
Hearing this, the head of the family glared at him: "I stopped eating a long time ago. Didn't you ask Yu Ce to send me a message?"
Shen Tanqi felt a little relieved. He stepped forward and took off the two slimy cubs from his master's lap. He winked at Yu Ce and looked back at the master: "Dad, we happen to be here today. Let Yu CeCan I use the dragon beads to heal you up?"
The head of the family slowly raised his eyes, looking past Shen Tanqi at Yu Ce behind him.
After not seeing each other for a few days, he could no longer see through Yu Ce's cultivation.
This kid is definitely not a creature in the pool. Even in the Monster Clan, he is already a top genius.
Thinking of the demon clan, the head of the family's eyes suddenly turned cold.
If the incident in Yudong City had not happened, Yuan'er would not have been raped by the demon clan...
After a long while, he shook his head and said indifferently: "No need, don't be so attentive to me."
He cherishes Shen Tanqi's children, but the reason is only because they are Shen Tanqi's children.
If it were other demon children, he would definitely not even look at them.One more glance would remind him of Yuan'er's tears when she died. The tears of laughter dripped on the tip of his heart, burning an ugly scar that could never be erased.
Yuan'er was killed by the demon clan, and she was still smiling when she died. She looked forward to seeing Shen Tanqi as a family of three after he recovered from his illness. She could go further to see the mountains and play in the water. She was not able to see Shen Tanqi until her death.Get better!
His ability to accept Yu Ce stepping into the Shen family's home was his greatest tolerance for Yu Ce, who was born in the demon clan. For other things, don't expect him to make any changes.
Shen Tanqi saw the determined look in his eyes, and after a while, she realized what he was stubborn about.
Some things in the past have been held on to for too long and cannot be easily changed overnight.
After a pause, he took out a blue pearl from the lapel of his arms and handed it to the owner of the house.
Shen Tanqi narrowed his eyes and said, "Dad, this is the deep sea shark bead."
After the words fell, Yu Ce and the head of the family stopped breathing at the same time, and their eyes fell on the shark bead.
"This is the shark bead. Did you kill that damn shark?" The head of the house held the shark bead in his trembling hands, intending to smash it into pieces, but Shen Tanqi quickly reached out to catch it.
He said eagerly: "The Deep Sea Shark Pearl can know the past and the future. Dad, don't you want to know what happened in the past and how my mother died?"
The owner's eyes were scarlet, and his eyes were filled with Yuan'er's tears before her death, and her fragile and pale face. He couldn't care less about what Shen Tanqi said: "Your father knows more about the past than you do!"
He grabbed the shark bead from Shen Tanqi's hand, held it tightly for a moment, and was about to throw it to the ground.
In an instant, his wrist was tightly clasped.
Yu Ce's eyes were dark and he took the shark bead from his master's hand.
"Aqi, why is the Shark Pearl in your hand?"
Shen Tanqi lowered his head and hesitated: "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I haven't been able to find any chance recently. It's Xie Chi who..."
The most important thing was that he didn't know how to mention to Yu Ce that his father had been killed by Xie Chi.
Just like now, he choked up again in the middle of his words. Putting it on his own behalf, if he suddenly learned such news, he would definitely be devastated, let alone Yu Ce.
Yu Ce turned to look at him and sighed softly, "You don't need to hide it. He passed away in Xihai ten years ago. The shark beads have been kept by the maid in Xihai."
Shen Tanqi raised his head in surprise, "Then thank you..."
"He probably got the shark bead from the servant woman, and said those words deliberately to let you inspire me." Yu Ce put the shark bead in the palm of his hand, and seemed to be able to feel the cool life energy surging inside.
Shen Tanqi felt relieved and was about to say something else when the head of the family in front of him interrupted her sharply.
"enough!"
The head of the family stood up from his seat, walked to Yu Ce, looked at him coldly, and said, "Is that shark an acquaintance of yours?"
What is the connection between the Shark Clan and the Dragon Clan?
Just as Yu Ce was about to speak, Shen Tanqi squeezed in front of him, took the dragon ball from his hand, and waved it in front of the head of the house: "Listen to me, Dad, can you read what's inside first and then make a decision?"
The master opened his mouth and was about to scold him, but Shen Tanqi immediately added: "There are memories of my mother in it. If you really want to smash the shark beads, you will never see her again!"
After the words fell, the head of the family froze. He slowly stretched out his hand and pinched the shark bead from Shen Tanqi's palm.
After a long time, he seemed to have finally sorted out his messy heart. Like an ignorant child, he asked in a trembling voice: "How to use it?"
Shen Tanqi sighed and gently rubbed the shark bead twice. A mist immediately appeared on the shark bead, and a few fragments of light appeared around it.
He glanced at Yu Ce beside him and pushed him gently: "You go with dad. When you were ten years old, you failed to come to Shuo Xia to fulfill the agreement. Now it is time to meet my mother."
Yu Ce looked at him blankly: "Your mother?"
How did Ah Qi know about his agreement with the woman from Yudong City?
The woman who took him to the hospital to give him medicine on a snowy night and saved his life was... Ah Qi's mother?
"Aqi, wait, you..."
He was about to say something, but Shen Tanqi saw that the fog was about to dissipate, and quickly forced him into the thick fog, saying: "Go quickly, everything you want to know is inside. Believe me, you will come back to thank me after reading it."I!"
Yu Ce, who was stuffed into Shark Pearl: "...!"
He wanted to ask if he could not be alone with his father-in-law. As the saying goes, the father-in-law only cares about his son-in-law.
The more I watch, the angrier I get...
That's all, you have to die early or late.
He, he tried his best to come back alive.
Yu Ce silently lit a candle for himself in his heart.
