Lin Fan lowered his head, recalling the humiliation he suffered in that Lineage before meeting Su Chen. They treated him like dirt, and he couldn't even afford to eat. He often longed for his parents to appear, but he was always disappointed. If it weren't for Su Chen, Lin Fan didn't know if he would have survived until now.
The man in white is now telling Lin Fan that his parents had no choice but to leave him here because of some unforeseen circumstances. Lin Fan cannot accept this reason.
"Sigh." The man in white sighed deeply, his expression slightly complicated. He knew that Lin Fan had never experienced parental love since childhood and had always been bullied. He must have had a very difficult life, so it was impossible for him not to feel hatred.
"Master, I'm returning to the Spacetime Battlefield." Lin Fan looked at Su Chen, bowed to him, then glanced at the man in white before turning and leaving. He wanted some peace and quiet; his mind was in turmoil and filled with complex emotions.
" Xiao Fan..." the man in white called softly, watching Lin Fan's retreating figure. But Lin Fan Lin Fan did not stop until his figure completely disappeared.
Su Chen watched this scene quietly, took a sip of wine, and then said, " Xiao Fan's parents, surely they didn't just leave him here because they had something to do?"
The man in white withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said with a complicated expression, "That's right. His parents wanted Xiao Fan to experience the hardships of the mortal realm and temper his State of Mind. They believed that only in this way could Xiao Fan grow stronger in the future."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Do you know what kind of life Xiao Fan lived before he met me? Back then, he was poorly dressed, skinny, and often beaten and humiliated. His body was covered in bruises, not a single part of him was unharmed. And he had such powerful parents, yet he had to suffer like this. It's so unfair to him."
The scene flashed through the white-clad man's mind, and a pang of pain shot through his heart. "Back then, I tried to persuade Xiao Fan's parents. His mother was also reluctant, but his father insisted on letting Xiao Fan be raised freely."
Su Chen said, "I'm telling you, we should let them come and see Xiao Fan as soon as possible, otherwise, Xiao Fan will definitely hold a grudge against them in the future."
The man in white shook his head and said, "His father is stubborn. He won't come to see him until Xiao Fan has fully grown up on his own. But Xiao Fan's mother will probably find an opportunity to contact Xiao Fan."
Su Chen nodded calmly without saying anything. He could already foresee the scenario where Lin Fan would become enemies with his parents in the future. If they dared to bully Lin Fan, Su Chen would be the first to stand up for him.
No one is allowed to bully his disciple, not even Lin Fan's parents!
Su Chen then asked, "When are you leaving Canglan Star?"
The man in white paused for a moment, then said, "I plan to stay here for two months before leaving."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Could I stay here for a few years? I'd like to ask you for a favor."
The man in white raised an eyebrow. "What kind of help?"
After a moment of silence, the man in white asked, "Why did you do this?"
Su Chen calmly replied, "Only in this way can they grow. Otherwise, they will become too dependent on me, which is not good for them. I hope you can agree."
After thinking for a long time, the man in white finally nodded and said, "Alright, I promise you."
The Mystic Hall.
"Mom, when is my brother coming back? I miss him so much," Su Jianxi said, her voice trembling with grievance. Nine years ago, the little one was born, just a tiny baby in swaddling clothes. Now, time has flown by, and that baby has grown into a young girl.
Her face became increasingly delicate, her skin as white as snow, with Hong Yun, like a tender peach blossom. Her arched eyebrows were like two willow leaves, and beneath them were a pair of large, watery eyes, clear and captivating, like sparkling gems.
Qin An smiled and said, "Do you miss your brother that much?"
Su Jianxi nodded and said, "Of course, my brother is the best to me. If I didn't miss him, who would I miss?"
"Oh? Is that so? Then I am truly honored." Suddenly, a voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, a handsome man slowly walked over, his robes fluttering in the wind, a faint smile on his handsome face.
Su Jianxi's eyes lit up, and she ran over, throwing herself into Su Chen's arms, looking up at him, "Brother, you're finally back! What have you been doing these past few days?"
Su Chen reached out and ruffled Su Jianxi's hair, saying softly, "There's something I need to take care of at the academy."
Su Jianxi said, "Okay."
Su Chen smiled and said, "During my absence, did you cultivate diligently?"
"Of course!" Su Jianxi chuckled, and with a thought, a powerful aura emanated from her, causing the space to boil and tremble.
Su Chen nodded and said, "I didn't expect Jianxi to break through to the Great Saint Realm so quickly, that's amazing!"
Su Jianxi waved her hand and smiled, "Actually, it's alright."
Su Chen smiled, then looked at Qin An in the main seat, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Mother."
Qin An nodded and smiled, "Mm."
Su Chen glanced around and then asked, "Where's Father?"
Qin An said, "Your father has gone into seclusion."
At this moment, Qin An suddenly frowned, then took out a communication stone. The stone flashed with brilliant light, and Shen Yanlan's anxious voice came from it, " Xiao An, I've encountered a formidable enemy! Quickly call Wangchuan to help me!"
"What!" Qin An's expression changed. He was about to ask what was going on when the communication stone dimmed, indicating that the situation on the other end must be urgent.
Qin An hurriedly stood up, looked at Su Chen, and was about to speak when Su Chen spoke first, "No need to inform Grandpa, I'll go."
As he spoke, he turned and disappeared.
Qin An stared at the spot where Su Chen had disappeared. Her tense nerves gradually relaxed. She still believed in Xiao Chen's strength, but what she couldn't understand was what danger Shen Yanlan had encountered. After all, Shen Yanlan's strength was above the Immortal Emperor level, and she was by no means weak. For her to encounter danger, then the enemy must be formidable. No, I still have to inform Father and Yanche.
" Jianxi, go play by yourself, Mom has something to do," Qin An said to Su Jianxi.
"Will my brother and grandma be alright?" Su Jianxi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Qin An reassured him, then disappeared from the spot without lingering any longer.
Su Jianxi frowned. "What danger did Grandma and the others encounter? Alas, I'm still too weak to help much. I need to cultivate more quickly."
A few days ago, outside the Canglan Star, in the vast and boundless universe, spacetime suddenly rippled. Then, blinding golden rays of light, like sharp swords, burst forth from the ripples, instantly illuminating this universe.
