"he is."
Hearing his mother's shout of surprise and seeing his usually dignified and calm mother so excited, Wu Yiren looked behind him in confusion.
The person who came was wearing a green shirt and a plain robe, a feather fan and a turban, and a long beard in his hand. He looked like an ordinary scribe.
Just as Wu Yiren was stunned, Lin Yuan had already thrown herself into the man's arms, her voice choked with sobs:
"Zhou Lang, where have you been all these years? Why are you so cruel and leave us mother and son alone?"
The man smiled, hugged Lin Yuan gently, and said in a gentle voice:
"Yuan'er, you are already the mother of a country, why are you still crying so much?"
Lin Yuan raised her hand and gently hit his chest, but it was soft and weak, like a coquettish little girl:
"You also said, why did you go back on your word when you said you would never leave me? Are you still blaming me for not leaving with you?"
The man gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Okay, my daughter is still here, don't let her see your jokes."
Lin Yuan stopped crying and let the man gently wipe her tears. She took the man's arm and walked to Wu Yiren:
"Yiren, call me daddy!"
Wu Yiren looked at his mother and the man in front of him with a blank expression.
For so many years, my mother has always been so graceful and dignified, and she has treated the world like a mother. But now in front of this extremely ordinary man, she appears like a little girl.
It was really hard for Wu Yiren to accept this, let alone regard this strange man as his father.
"Yiren, he is your biological father, please scream!"
Lin Yuan was a little anxious. The man held her hand and smiled:
"It's my fault. After being away for so many years, it's only right that my daughter doesn't recognize me."
"No, Zhou Lang, Yi Ren just can't accept it for the moment. When we leave Xihuang City and live together, she will definitely be able to accept you."
The man looked surprised: "Yuan'er, what did you say?"
Lin Yuan held the man's hand tightly, with eager eyes: "Zhou Lang, after today, I can leave Xihuang City!"
The man looked at her deeply, with worry in his eyes: "Yuan'er, you said at the beginning that you would only leave when Wu Zheng is gone. Could it be..."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Zhou Lang, I have fulfilled my sect's destiny and will be free soon. Are you willing to go with me?"
The man hugged her: "Of course I do! Yuan'er, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
"Husband."
Lin Yuan was hugged by the man, with blushes rising on her cheeks, like a young girl in love.
Wu Yiren stood nearby, watching his parents loving each other, but he was not moved at all.
There is even an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
From the beginning, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it for the moment.
"Madam, are there going to be a lot of dangers today? If that's the case, I'd rather you stay in the palace, and I can just watch you mother and daughter from a distance."
The man spoke softly, and Lin Yuan was even more moved, looking up at him:
"Husband, don't worry. Today I will just ask Wu Zheng to abdicate and let the sixth prince chosen by the sect take the throne. Then I can retire with success."
The man pondered for a moment, seemingly worried about Lin Yuan. After her gentle persuasion, he finally felt relieved, and then looked at Wu Yiren:
"Madam, you and Wu Zheng broke up today. What will happen to Yi Ren? If Wu Zheng finds out that Yi Ren is not his daughter, will Yi Ren be in danger?"
"Why don't you let Yiren come with me now? My daughter and I will wait for you at the place where we met."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "My husband is right, I didn't want my wife to be involved in today's matter. I would be most at ease if my daughter goes with you."
"I don't!"
Wu Yiren said loudly: "Mom, I want to be with you!"
Lin Yuan said: "Silly boy, when today's matter is over, our family of three will be together forever. Be obedient and follow your father."
"No! He is not my father!"
Wu Yiren glared at the man. For some reason, she always felt that there was a strange aura about this man.
"Yiren!" Lin Yuan's voice turned cold: "How can you talk to your father like this?!"
The man gently persuaded: "Madam, don't blame your daughter. It's because I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for so many years. Yiren, don't worry, my father will always stay by your side and will never leave again."
Wu Yiren took half a step back, still unwilling to follow the man.
"Yiren, we don't have time. Wu Zheng will be suspicious if I don't go back. If you don't want your mother to be in danger, just listen to me now!"
Lin Yuan's voice became stern, Wu Yiren bit his lip, and finally had to give in.
She was brought up by Lin Yuan since she was a child, and her mother's majesty cannot be defied.
Reluctantly following the man out of the room, Lin Yuan warned, "My dear, don't be willful. Listen to your father, he won't harm you."
"Mother."
Wu Yiren still wanted to speak, but Lin Yuan flashed out of the palace.
Only she and this "daddy" who suddenly appeared were left.
Wu Yiren pouted his lips, his heart filled with embarrassment and discomfort, but the weird feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
"Daughter, let's go."
The man smiled gently and looked at her with loving eyes.
Wu Yiren didn't want to disobey his mother, so he hummed softly in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the palace. Wu Yiren suddenly stopped and looked back. His heart skipped a beat and he looked at the man:
"How did you enter the palace without cultivation? Where are the guards?"
She finally discovered where that feeling of something wrong was coming from.
As her mother said, this man had no cultivation, so how could he bypass the guards and suddenly enter her room?
His mother reunited with him after a long separation and was so fascinated by her love that she didn't even notice it.
But she was different. She didn't have any feelings for this man. When she realized something was wrong, she suddenly looked sharp:
"Who the hell are you?!"
The man was still smiling and looking at Wu Yiren, but the kindness in his eyes slowly changed.
The surrounding air seemed to be stagnant, and the space was distorted. Wu Yiren's feet swayed, and he was shocked to find that he was in a violent storm.
The strange thing is that there are still people coming and going around, and the sun is still shining brightly above our heads.
It seemed like she was the only one in the middle of the hurricane.
A strange black light flashed in the eyes of the man in front of him, and he grinned:
"Yiren, I am indeed your biological father, have you forgotten? I just said that I want you to stay with me forever."
"Madam, are you Qiu Zhihe or Xia Qinglian?"
Heavenly Fighting Field.
In the isolation circle set up by Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun looked at her and asked softly.
Qiu Zhihe turned around and looked at him quietly. For a long time, she stroked her belly with a gentle smile on her face:
"Husband, I am your wife. I have your flesh and blood in my belly. This is enough. Who am I? Does it matter?"
