"What he said at the beginning was very simple. It has nothing to do with your mother or liking her. It just has to do with not understanding."
"He doesn't understand why Hua Rong, a genius with outstanding talent and a bright future, would choose me instead of him."
"If you don't understand, you are not convinced."
"So he wants to fight me. If I don't agree, then don't blame him for informing the Hua family that your mother and I are here."
Having said this, Zhao Xuan just shook his head, "Then what can I do? I can only agree."
"Then we fought."
"Then he lost."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen's body trembled, and there was excitement in his eyes.
His father actually defeated Li Jiutian, the young master of the Immortal Sect back then!
"Haha, this is amazing, I think so too."
Seeing Zhao Zhen's eyes, Zhao Xuan also smiled and said with a touch of pride in his eyes, "After all, I did beat him. Although no one saw it, a win is a win."
"But you were also seriously injured."
Hua Rong shook her head after hearing this.
This made Zhao Xuan stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, although I defeated him, I have to say that he is really strong. My spiritual root was damaged by him, and my original empty The third level of Wu immediately retreated to the ninth level of Wu Tian.”
"And he's in a similar situation to me. He was beaten by me and was pushed back to the ninth level of Wutian."
"But I am in a different situation than him. He is the young master of the Immortal Sect, with status and status. He is injured and can be repaired by the Immortal Sect with resources, but I cannot."
"Although he stuck to his promise and left immediately after losing without revealing the location of your mother and me, but due to my retreat, my hiding methods have naturally become weaker."
"Especially your mother. She was in an extremely weak state after giving birth to you, so within two months, the Hua family found us through our breath."
At this point, Zhao Xuan sighed, "After that, Hua Tian came in person, ruined my cultivation, and wanted to kill our father and son."
"If your mother hadn't threatened him with her own life at the last moment, then we would have really been doomed."
"And you know what happened next. Your mother was taken away and locked up here, but I could only take you back to the Zhao family in Cangzhou City to live in seclusion."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen also understood.
It turns out that the truth is this.
But soon, Zhao Zhen said again, "Father, I don't understand. Since you were so powerful back then, why didn't you help the Zhao family develop?"
"Your grandfather doesn't like me."
Zhao Xuan shook his head, "After all, your grandma is just a maid in the family, so your grandma and I have never been taken seriously by anyone since we were young. After your grandma died, your grandpa even found an excuse to drive me out of the family. Since then, I have been wandering around the world, so why should I help the Zhao family develop? In fact, after I left the family, he thought I was dead. How could he have thought that I would become so strong? I never thought about going back. "
"But it will be different after having you. Although I can choose to continue wandering around the world, even if my cultivation is abolished, I am confident that I can find a way out in the world, but you are different. You are still young, and you need a stable growth environment, so at that time I had no choice but to return to the Zhao family, and then showed some basic knowledge of alchemy, which was naturally valued by your grandfather, who recalled me back to the family and made me the landlord of the third room of the Zhao family. "
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen understood completely, nodded and said, "That's it."
"Yes, that's the truth."
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "After that, I gained a firm foothold at home and began to secretly try to restore my cultivation. Fortunately, although my spiritual roots were useless, some of my previous foundations were still there, so I quickly recovered. We have reached the Martial Spirit Realm, and in that small town, this realm is already very good."
"At that time, I was thinking, maybe it's not bad to live in the family like this. The world is dangerous, and people's hearts are even more dangerous, so why bother to go out?
? In addition, you did not awaken the martial arts spiritual root at the beginning. Although you have your mother's bloodline, which is the Zhoutian spiritual root of the Hua family, the Hua family's Zhoutian spiritual root requires huge resources to be awakened, and we did not have this condition at the beginning. , so I thought, I will just hand over the alchemy skills to you. If you learn this, you will be accepted by the family. ".
"But I didn't expect that the people in the Zhao family have such narrow vision that they would actually harm you!"
At this point, Zhao Xuan's eyes turned cold, "To be honest, I really thought you were dead at that time. I was thinking that in the worst case, I would crush all the remaining power and then drag them to die together."
"But what surprises me is that you actually awakened your spiritual roots in the ice prison."
"And it was at that time that I really had hope."
Zhao Zhen's eyes also changed when he heard that. Then he turned his eyes and looked at Hua Rong suddenly and said, "Mom, my spiritual root is very special. Have you noticed?"
"Um."
Hua Rong, who had been listening to Zhao Xuan's story, also nodded, looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, I don't understand how you awakened your spiritual roots. After all, you didn't have many resources at the time, and your spiritual roots Root power is really too special.”
"This is all thanks to the jade pendant my mother gave me."
Zhao Zhen started talking immediately after hearing this. He told all about the process of awakening his spiritual roots, including the message from the Wanwu Sword Sect.
After all, these are his parents, the people who gave him life, so there is nothing to hide.
After hearing Zhao Zhen's story, Zhao Xuan and Hua Rong also looked surprised.
"No wonder, let me tell you how you awakened your spiritual root. It turned out to be the jade pendant you obtained, Ronger."
Zhao Xuan looked at Hua Rong at this time, but Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, "Get it? Mother, where did you get it?"
"A broken space world."
Hua Rong also had a flash of surprise in his eyes, "When I traveled to the Dragon Continent, I once found a crack in the void in the Dragon Continent. I was very curious at first, so I went in to take a look, and after entering there , I found that this is a space world full of sword energy, but about to collapse, full of ancient atmosphere, and there are no treasures in it, only this jade pendant."
"When I thought this jade pendant was good, the space was shattered, but it was not affected in any way, so I put it away and took it with me as a little thing. But I didn't expect that this jade pendant actually has such a secret!"
"I see."
Zhao Zhen also nodded, and then showed a look of emotion, "It turns out that I was able to awaken my spiritual roots thanks to my mother's adventure."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that this little thing would be so involved."
Hua Rong also showed a look of emotion, but then she showed a happy smile, "Of course, this is a good thing."
"Haha, yes, this is the best arrangement."
Zhao Xuan also smiled and nodded, "The sword power that contains the ancient sect is given to you, allowing you to awaken your spiritual roots at a critical moment, and you also have this talent. There is nothing better than this arrangement."
"But…"
Zhao Zhen hesitated slightly, "If my mother could discover the secret of this thing, then..."
"Haha, Zhen'er, in this world, there are no buts and no ifs. There is only objective reality. You understand this."
Zhao Xuan shook his head with a smile and patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder, "So don't think so much. Besides, I think even if there was an if in the world, your mother would not hesitate after discovering the secret of this jade pendant. I’ll give you this opportunity.”
"Yes, who made you my child?"
Hua Rong also smiled tenderly and rubbed Zhao Zhen's head, "And where in the world is there a mother who wouldn't give her best to her child?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen's body was shaken, and he felt an extremely strong warmth rising in his heart.
Yes, where in the world are there parents who don’t love their children?
No, or
That's true.
But at least, Hua Rong and Zhao Xuan are not that kind of people.
They love themselves very much.
Naturally, Zhao Zhen also felt a deep happiness at this moment.
So he knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully to his parents.
"It is an honor for me to be my father and mother's son."
"Haha, silly boy."
Zhao Xuan laughed loudly, and Hua Rong even smiled and pulled Zhao Zhen up, "Yes, we are a family, so why bother talking about this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen also smiled and nodded, feeling even warmer in his heart at this moment.
Han Yu on the side also showed an extremely happy smile. She and Zhao Zhen had been connected for a long time, so naturally she could feel Zhao Zhen's current happiness.
"Haha, okay, now let's talk about why I didn't find you. It's very simple. The Huashen of the Hua family is the first reason. He doesn't allow you to meet your mother. So even though you awakened your spiritual roots, I know you are still very weak, so after I met your mother here, I did not dare to come into contact with you, for fear that the Hua family would do something to you."
Zhao Xuandao said, "The second reason is the Xianzong. Although Li Jiutian of the Xianzong is a person who cares about credibility, at the same time, he is also a person who cares about interests. In this regard, he is very similar to Huashen, so your mother and The family fell out and was imprisoned here. This can be said to be the situation he wanted to see the most, because your mother is so talented. If the Hua family chooses to forgive her and let her practice, then the strength of the Hua family will threaten the immortals. Zong, especially you, if he knows your true identity, he will definitely control you."
"Because controlling you means controlling your mother, so I don't dare to risk contact with you for fear of being discovered by Li Jiutian."
"And now, haha, you have become famous in the Dragon Continent, and you have sufficient strength. Even if Li Jiutian knows the truth, he will not dare to attack you easily. After all, he always has to take into account the influence of the Immortal Sect. .”
