Chapter 71 Chapter 71: A loving father and a filial son, Meng Chen’s jealousy
In the study, Marquis Xuanwu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the famous landscape paintings on the wall. He heard the footsteps behind him and turned around slowly.
When he saw the silver-haired and silver-eyed Meng Chen, he frowned slightly. Apparently he did not expect that his son, who had been missing for many years, would see him again like this.
After hesitating for a while, Marquis Xuanwu asked: "Are you Chen'er?"
Meng Chen smiled, nodded, and greeted warmly: "It's been so many years since we've seen each other. How is your father?"
Hearing the word "father", Marquis Xuanwu felt extremely cordial. He knew that this was a cordial feeling connected by blood.
He could be sure that the boy in front of him was really his legitimate son who had been missing for many years!
Although he didn't understand why Meng Chen had strange hair and strange eyes, he knew that thirteen years was a long time, long enough that anything that happened would not be surprising.
The look in Marquis Xuanwu's eyes when he looked at Meng Chen changed, showing love and the joy of regaining something.
"Good boy, just come back, just come back."
He stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Meng Chen's shoulder gently. Although he was crying with joy like Butler Wu, his voice was a little choked, as if he was comforting Meng Chen, but also seemed to be speaking to himself.
Thirteen years, no, to be more precise, it has been almost fourteen years.
Although Meng Chen's body was never seen, Marquis Xuanwu already thought that his son was dead, but he did not expect that he would come back on his own.
Marquis Xuanwu could not express this joy of recovery in words. He looked at Meng Chen's handsome face and gently touched the corners of his eyes with his rough hands.
It is said that a nephew is like an uncle. Meng Chen is not only similar to Marquis Xuanwu, but also similar to his uncle, the current Duke of Qi.
Marquis Xuanwu pulled Meng Chen to the side and sat down. The old father's eyes never left him for a moment, and he asked in a hoarse voice:
"How have you been living outside these years?"
"Everything is fine. After I was kidnapped by the gangsters, I was fortunate enough to be rescued by my ancestor. I escaped from danger and became a member of the Qianyuan Sect. I heard from Butler Wu that you searched all over Jin and surrounding countries for your father, but you couldn't find him. I, actually I am no longer in Yunxian State, I was brought to Tiannan State by my ancestor.”
Meng Chen answered truthfully, without hiding anything.
When Marquis Xuanwu heard this, he looked puzzled: "Yuxian Prefecture? Tiannan Prefecture?"
Seeing that Marquis Xuanwu was unfamiliar with the names of these two states, Meng Chen explained them to him in detail.
"Yuexian Prefecture is the name of the state where the Jin State is located. There are not only countries like Jin State, Northern Shang, and Southern Xinjiang in this world. Across the desperate desert, there is a wider world outside. The world where the Jin State is located, It’s just the tip of the iceberg of Tai Cang’s world.”
"To use an analogy, Jin is equivalent to Baishi County, and Tiannan Prefecture in the child's mouth is Fengjing."
The Baishi County Meng Chen mentioned was the poorest small county in Jin State. He didn't know whether it still existed today.
After hearing this, Marquis Xuanwu had a look of surprise in his eyes, but also a little doubtful.
He naturally knows where the Desperate Desert is. More than fifty years ago, the Jin State sent 50,000 troops to cross the desert to see what was on the other side of the desert. As a result, after the 50,000 troops entered the desert, they never came out again. .
There were also great masters who went into the desert, but they never returned.
The ancestor his son said could lead him through the desperate desert. Could it be that that person was a land god stronger than the Grand Master?
Marquis Xuanwu couldn't help but ask: "Chen'er, who is the ancestor you are talking about?"
"He is a land god."
Meng Chen did not say that Patriarch Tianyang was a powerful person who transformed into gods. Instead, he chose an existence that Marquis Xuanwu could understand and told him.
Martial arts in the Jin Kingdom are divided into nine levels. Above the ninth level are the Grand Masters, and after the Grand Masters, they are the so-called land gods.
However, land gods only exist in legends and no one has ever seen them.
When Marquis Xuanwu heard this, he secretly thought that this was indeed the case, and then he asked again: "Then how did you come back? Did the ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect send you back?"
Meng Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I came back alone."
"You came back alone. The desperate desert is so dangerous, why did you..."
When Marquis Xuanwu heard this, he was about to ask Meng Chen why he came back alone, but then he thought of a possibility. He stood up in shock, looked at Meng Chen in disbelief, and said in horror: "You have also become a land god!"
Meng Chen nodded and admitted. Then Xuanwuhou saw him sitting in his seat. He pressed his hand lightly and felt an irresistible force emerge, pushing him back to his seat after he stood up.
Could this be the power of land gods!
Marquis Xuanwu was even more shocked. You must know that he is a master of the ninth level. Even a grand master cannot subdue him so easily.
Could this be the tyrannical strength of land gods?
Although when Meng Chen was three years old, a martial arts master had tested his bones and said that he was a martial arts wizard who could only be seen in a century.
But I didn't expect that his martial arts talent was so high. He was not yet nineteen years old, and he had already reached the limit of martial arts. It was terrifying.
Marquis Xuanwu: "So you have silver hair and silver eyes?"
"My physique and the skills I practice are special. It's just a small change. If my father feels there is something different, I can change it back."
After that, Meng Chen thought, and the three thousand silver threads were covered with a layer of black, the thunder lines between his eyebrows disappeared, and the silver eyes turned brown.
Black hair and brown eyes made Xuanwuhou instantly more pleasing to the eye.
Just when Marquis Xuanwu wanted to hear more about Meng Chen's experiences over the years, Butler Wu's voice sounded outside the door
"Master Hou, Master Chen wants to see you."
After hearing this, Marquis Xuanwu thought that Meng Chen should know something when he came back, so he let Meng Chen in.
Meng Chen walked into the study and saw Marquis Xuanwu and Meng Chen sitting together, although he didn't know why Meng Chen changed from silver hair to black hair.
But the scene of their father's kindness and son's filial piety deeply stimulated him. This was recognition that he had never had in the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, which made Meng Chen jealous in his heart.
"Father, mother suddenly fainted for some reason. Please go and have a look."
Meng Chen said anxiously that after Mrs. Hou was helped down by the maid, she suddenly fainted. The government doctor had gone to diagnose and treat her, so he came to ask Xuanwu Hou to take a look.
When Marquis Xuanwu heard that something happened to his wife, he quickly took Meng Chen's hand and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet your mother. You have been away from home for so many years, and your mother misses you the most."
Meng Chen followed Xuanwu Hou. The father and son ignored Meng Chen who came to report and rushed to Guiyue Pavilion where Mrs. Hou lived.
Being ignored one after another, Meng Chen was furious inside, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only follow them obediently and go to visit Mrs. Hou.
A lot of people had gathered in the wing of Guiyue Pavilion. The four concubines, four daughters, and two sons of Marquis Xuanwu were all standing by Madam Hou's bedside, waiting for the results from the government doctor.
"Master Marquis is here."
As soon as the maid shouted that the Marquis was here, the four aunts, as well as the concubines and concubines all stood up and saluted Marquis Xuanwu.
They also noticed Meng Chen behind Marquis Xuanwu. They saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Marquis, and his eyebrows looked similar to Mrs. Marquis's. They all guessed Meng Chen's identity.
"Chen'er, go see your mother."
Marquis Xuanwu pointed at Madam Hou on the bed and said to Meng Chen.
Meng Chen quickly walked to Mrs. Hou's bedside and saw that his mother's brows were furrowed, her face was in pain, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she was still calling Chen'er. It was obvious that she was suffering from soul-leaving syndrome.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed at his mother's forehead, using his powerful spiritual power to sort out her chaotic consciousness.
This move shocked the government doctor who was about to perform an acupuncture. He wanted to stop Meng Chen, but was stopped by Xuanwu Hou with his eyes.
