Some Rejoice, Some Grieve! Luo Fan!

After leaving the Death Desert.

Lin Chen led Locke all the way to his hometown.

On his way back, he didn't forget to inquire about the Divine Flower.

According to Locke.

He didn't even know what the Divine Flower was, and no one in the Buddha Heaven World had ever heard of it.

When Lin Chen found out, he couldn't help but frown.

After all, the Lord of Asura Hall's description included the Divine Flower.

Strangely, it seems that these native inhabitants of the Buddha Heaven were unaware of the flower's existence.

"Lord Lin Chen, perhaps I am simply ignorant. Don't worry, just take your time searching!"

Locke saw Lin Chen's brows furrow and, fearing that Lin Chen might lose his temper and kill him, said:

"Once we get to Westwind Fortress, I'll have someone ask around for you; maybe someone will know! Of course, I think this thing must be very important, so it might be kept secret by Buddha City..."

Hearing Locke say this, Lin Chen nodded slightly.

Not in a hurry, he glanced ahead and said:

How much further?

"Almost there, we've been traveling for three days!" Locke exclaimed excitedly.

"If I remember correctly, we're just ahead of Westwind Fortress Netherworld Realm. I never thought I'd be back. I wonder how my family is doing..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen fell silent!

On the way back, Locke confessed everything about being framed!

Therefore, he had made some kind of preparation for this trip back to Westwind Fortress.

Whether these things will actually happen, nobody knows.

Lin Chen, who was accompanying them, only intended to observe from the sidelines!

Consequently.

As the two walked, they soon arrived at Westwind Fortress.

Looking around, the mountains here are steep and rugged, covered with all sorts of strange and ancient trees.

Various ferocious beasts could be seen and hidden within, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

What's most astonishing is that at the foot of a steep mountainside, there is a city fortress built against the mountain, taller than the mountain itself!

Westwind Fortress!

The ancient, gray-stone castle is decorated with strange patterns and stone statues.

It looks incredibly lifelike and exquisite!

"This is Westwind Fortress..."

When Locke returned to his hometown, tears streamed down his face.

Having not seen his wife and children for a long time, he was somewhat excited at this moment!

Lin Chen remained indifferent even after witnessing this scene!

He glanced at the enormous Westwind Fortress and then walked forward.

Westwind Fortress was built against the mountain and covered a vast area.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, the entire area is within the castle grounds.

It is inhabited by many ordinary Buddha Heaven and various powerful Martial Artist.

The castle is divided into three areas.

Upper Town, Middle Town, Lower Town!

Locke's home, however, was in Midtown.

The people living here are mostly Martial Artist and outsiders.

The lower city was mostly inhabited by commoners, while the upper city was the residential area of the Lord of Westwind Fortress.

Back at the station, Locke swallowed hard and ran forward, relying on his memory.

As he passed through streets and alleys along the way, many acquaintances recognized him!

"Isn't that... Locke?! The thief is back! How terrifying!"

"Wasn't he imprisoned by the city lord? How come he's back?"

"Who knows! Stay away from him! I don't want my things stolen!"

"The thief is back! How despicable!"

Thief?

Locke was somewhat angry when he heard those two words.

He thought to himself that he had been framed by the city lord, which was why he had become a notorious thief.

He didn't come back this time with any intention of seeking revenge!

He only intended to take his wife and children away from Westwind Fortress, far from this place of trouble!

Thinking and thinking.

Locke quickly returned to his familiar front door.

It's a small but cozy yard with fruit trees and flowers.

There's even a seesaw and a swing in the yard.

When Locke saw that his home was still so warm and cozy, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Fei'er... Luo Fan..."

He called softly to his wife and children as he walked step by step into the courtyard.

Looking around, the door was open.

Upon hearing a noise outside the door, a gentle, kind, virtuous, and sweet-looking woman from the Buddha Heaven came out.

Behind him followed a young man who was about the same height as Locke and looked somewhat like him!

"Locke..."

The woman's eyes filled with tears upon seeing Locke; she was overwhelmed with emotion!

"Fei'er!" Locke, his eyes also filled with tears, hugged his wife tightly!

Looking at his grown-up child, he said excitedly:

"Luo Fan, you've grown so tall... that's great..."

Luo Fan remained silent, his face still cold.

Looking at his father, who had caused him so much humiliation since childhood, his eyes were filled with indifference!

Perhaps it was Locke's wife who noticed this, and immediately reminded him:

"Luo Fan, your father is back..."

"He's not my father!" Luo Fan said coldly.

"I am not a thief's father, please leave this house..."

What?

Upon hearing this, Locke felt a surge of anger mixed with distress.

Looking at her son who wouldn't recognize her, her eyes were filled with helplessness!

Feeling quite distressed, he fell silent for a moment.

The happy atmosphere of the family reunion suddenly turned tense and awkward.

Seeing this, Lin Chen, who had been standing silently to the side, let out a sigh.

Since it was none of his business, he didn't interfere.

After all, as a human from Blue Star, he knew very well that every family has its own problems.

Even aliens seem unable to escape this curse!

"Luo Fan, what nonsense are you spouting!" Sure enough, Locke's wife was furious.

"He's your father! How can you look at him like that? How are you any different from those other people?!"

When questioned by his mother, Luo Fan felt a little wronged.

He thought to himself that he had been criticized by his classmates and neighbors since he was a child.

They said he was the son of a thief, and that he would grow up to be a thief himself.

He suffered countless injustices in that environment!

Therefore, he would rather the father, who had reappeared as a thief, were already dead!

"Father? Was he there when I was wronged, chased around, and beaten? Mother! I don't have a father who's a thief! I'd rather be an orphan!"

These words made the atmosphere even more awkward!

Upon hearing this, Locke felt as if he had aged considerably.

Feeling somewhat helpless, his heart ached.

After saying these words, Locke ran out of the courtyard alone.

As he passed by Lin Chen, he only glanced at him briefly.

This made Locke realize that there were still people around.

His face flushed red, and he quickly smiled and said:

"Fei'er, let me introduce you... This is Lord Lin Chen... He's the one who rescued me!"

"Greetings, Lord Lin Chen!" Fei'er nodded.

Lin Chen didn't say anything more.

Busy searching for the Divine Flower, he immediately soared into the sky and vanished!

Locke saw this but did not stop it.

He looked at his wife with a rather helpless expression and said:

"You've worked so hard all these years... Let's go inside... We haven't seen each other for so many years, you haven't been cheating on me, have you?"

"You come back and immediately start touching me, you're still the same old you..." Fei'er said, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Do you think I'm such an immoral person... Come inside, what kind of behavior is this standing outside..."
