Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Chongshan's expression changed slightly.

Then, he closed his eyes and revealed a very helpless smile, "Chen'er, I didn't want to tell you about this matter so early, but I still can't escape what is coming."

After a pause, Ye Chongshan said, "Chen'er, come with me."

Ye Chen followed Ye Chongshan's footsteps and walked all the way to the family's martial arts pavilion.

"Chen'er, if you go to the second floor of the martial arts pavilion, everything will be revealed naturally."

Ye Chongshan looked at the second floor with a sigh of relief.

He kept this matter secret for ten years.

I was afraid that when Ye Chen found out, he would die in anger.

As the appointed time came closer, even if I wanted to hide it, I couldn't.

What should come will always come.

Ye Chen walked steadily up to the second floor of the martial arts pavilion.

The last time I came here was because my father left me a broken sword, and he also said that this broken sword could only be given to me after I chose to pursue the path of swordsmanship.

Ye Chen didn't know what this broken sword meant.

But one thing is certain, there must be many stories passed down on this broken sword.

Perhaps, it is not an honor, but it is full of heavy responsibility!

After arriving on the second floor, Ye Chen stood at the place where his uncle had taken the sword. If he remembered correctly, behind the two rows of bookshelves was a secret room, which was not a big stone cave and exuded a very mysterious aura.

Ye Chen didn't know what was in the cave.

Because the last time the uncle went in, he didn't let himself go with him.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Ye Chen closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then stretched out his hand.

However, before his hand touched the bookshelf, the stone door inside moved suddenly.

boom.

There was a dull sound, and the secret room opened again.

A burst of ice-blue cold air hit his face, and Ye Chen took a few steps back, frowning slightly.

This cold air seems to penetrate deep into the bone marrow, making the blood in the body solidify.

Just as Ye Chen was about to step into it, a rickety figure slowly walked out of it.

Ye Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.

The next moment, his hands were shaking and his nose was sore.

Tears filled my eyes.

"Chen'er."

In the secret room, a middle-aged man with pale hair walked out. He looked extremely haggard, as if his life span had been taken away for decades out of thin air. He had to reach out to support the wall when walking, and every step seemed extremely difficult.

"Dad has been hiding this from you all these years."

He raised his head, with two tears left in his cloudy eyes.

This man is Ye Chen's father, Ye Tianxiao, the former genius of the Ye family.

"father!"

Ye Chen stepped forward and reached out to hug Ye Tianxiao.

It’s surprisingly light to start with!

Taking another closer look, he was actually skin and bones under the loose robe.

Once upon a time, when I was young, I had the impression that my father was so wise and powerful.

He is tall and has a broad back. He likes to lift himself high and ride on his neck.

At that time, he was high-spirited and full of energy.

However, Ye Tianxiao never came back to that farewell ten years ago.

Ye Chen asked his uncle countless times if something had happened to his father and would he never come back?

Every time, Ye Chongshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he never explained.

In other words, these are always a bunch of unsolved doubts for Ye Chen.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Ye Chen's voice was trembling, he couldn't wait to understand all this.

Why did my father change from being so high-spirited back then to becoming like this?

A burst of icy blue runes suddenly erupted around Ye Tianxiao, and the cold air spread again, forcing Ye Chen to take a few steps back.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

The hands that he held his father in earlier were actually eroded by the cold air.

The cold aura contained in this rune is very strange, like maggots attached to bones, and it never dissipates.

Sizzle.

After these ice-blue runes came into contact with Ye Chen's skin, they actually wanted to continue drilling into it.

boom!

Within Ye Chen's body, the blood of the Savage Ancestral Dragon exploded, heat surged, and the ice blue runes were swallowed up in one gulp.

"Chen'er, you, you better not touch me. This rune is very tricky. If you come into contact with it for a long time, it will penetrate into your bone marrow and flesh and blood. It will devour your spiritual energy for a long time..."

Ye Tianxiao sighed, but still forced a smile.

A look of determination flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

He walked forward quickly, came to the door of the secret room, and looked inside.

This sight was like a thunderbolt, and he was stunned in place.

This secret room is not as big as I imagined. It can only accommodate a stone bed and a stone table. In addition, my hands cannot even be stretched inside at the same time.

Moreover, the icy blue cold air blooming inside is even more intense.

Being here feels like being in a world of ice and snow.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and tears fell once again.

My father stayed in this kind of environment for ten years?

Such a small secret room, let alone ten years, even ten days, would make people fall into deep despair, right?

That kind of pain, that kind of frustration, that kind of depression, cannot be described in words!

"Dad, tell me what's going on."

Ye Chen turned around suddenly and roared hysterically, "Why did you end up like this? What happened ten years ago? What happened to this broken sword? Also, is all this related to the Ye family in Beizhou?

"

Ye Tianxiao looked deeply at Ye Chen, then smiled bitterly, "Chen'er, you have grown up, it's time to tell you all this."

He turned around and walked away.

Step after step, the pace is very strenuous.

Ye Chen quickly helped Ye Tianxiao and sat down in a wing on the second floor.

Under the sunlight, Ye Chen looked at his father carefully.

He was old and stooped, and he did not look like he was in his prime.

There are many wrinkles on the face.

"Chen'er, it's been a long time since I sat and drank tea with you."

Ye Tianxiao forced a smile and reached out to make tea.

This stretch of hand shocked Ye Chen even more.

Ye Tianxiao's right sleeve was empty.

He only has one arm!

Creak.

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly and his pupils gradually turned scarlet.

How much hardship has my father endured and how many sins have he suffered in these years?

"Dad, I'm coming."

Ye Chen took the teapot and made two cups of tea.

His hands were shaking slightly.

With his powerful control, he can easily control any part of his body.

But now, under the excitement, Ye Chen couldn't control his trembling hands at all.

"Chen'er, I know you have a lot of doubts. Let my father explain it to you bit by bit."

Ye Tianxiao picked up the tea cup with his left hand and took a sip with a smile.

Then, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
