The temple hall is brightly lit and there is a Buddha statue in the middle.

The color of the Buddha statue is a bit gray and it looks a bit old, but it is very clean and there is no damage anywhere, which shows that it has been well maintained.

In front of the Buddha statue, a middle-aged woman is kneeling on a futon, silently reciting scriptures, her eyes closed, and her attitude pious.

Aunt Rong reminded softly: "Madam, the Second Master is here to see you."

"Mom, the baby is here."

Ye Long followed Grandma Rong into the Buddhist hall. He quickly stepped forward and helped the woman up, saying, "Mom, I have told you many times that you should rest more when you have time. Don't get tired."

Mrs. Ye gently patted the back of her son's hand and said with a smile: "As we get older, we can't sleep at night if we rest too much. It's a good idea to find something to do so that the mood will not be so dull."

The middle-aged woman has black hair and wears a brown scarf. Her eyes are not cloudy but bright and bright, with some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Her appearance has not been changed over time, and even if you remove the wrinkles, you can still vaguely see her youthful appearance. She must be a beauty famous throughout the state.

"Mom, there are so many things to do, why not choose something relaxing? Kneeling and chanting sutras all the time is not good for your health."

"My mother is also a child of the martial arts. She is a martial arts practitioner, so her body does not get tired so easily. She is just reciting scriptures, it doesn't matter..."

Ye Long complained: "But there is no point in chanting sutras and praying to Buddha all day long!"

"Long'er, don't speak nonsense!"

"There are gods three feet above your head, people are doing it, and God is watching. It's not that there is no reward, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Mrs. Ye sighed: "Mother knows that the world has never been peaceful. Who has never had blood on his hands? It doesn't matter if I am here to recite sutras and accumulate virtues for you. Anyway, you are idle."

Ye Long's heart was like a mirror, he could see everything clearly, and said: "Mom, I think you are reciting sutras for that bastard, right?"

Ye Yuntian has done so many bastard things that he can’t even count them. If there is retribution in the world, then that bastard must be entangled in karma and will be punished by God!

"You come here every day to pray to God and pray to God to bless that bastard for peace and happiness. Does he know?"

Ye Long said angrily: "No, he doesn't know at all!"

Gu Hao hid outside the door and eavesdropped, and couldn't help but recall the words Ye Long pointed at his nose and scolded when he met Ye Long for the first time:

I burn incense and worship Buddha every day in the villa, and I pray that the sky will have eyes to let you die on a woman’s belly and never come back...

In the past few days, he had not found any Buddhist incense burners at the Hunting Villa. He thought it was just Ye Long's words in anger.

Now it seems that Ye Long had something else to say at that time, but he didn't understand.

If it was the real Ye Yuntian, he would probably understand it to some extent, but unfortunately he was fake. The more he showed that he didn't care, the angrier Ye Long became.

Unconsciously, he took the blame for Ye Yuntian again. Gu Hao's face turned dark, what a traitor!

"Mom, I'm not angry with you, I just feel worthless for you. Has that bastard ever visited you after so many years?"

"Even once, just once, okay?"

Ye Long twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if mocking himself, and said, "No, right?"

Mrs. Ye: "He will always be your eldest brother..."

Ye Long didn't wait for his mother to finish speaking and interrupted: "I don't have such a big brother!"

"I know you feel sorry for Mom, but after so many years, Mom has looked away. Living in seclusion here is also her own choice. The oath was made by Mom herself and has nothing to do with your eldest brother."

Ye Long gritted his teeth and said: "No, if he hadn't forced my mother to pass on the position of palace master to him, you wouldn't have made an oath to live in seclusion here in anger. It's his fault!"

Mrs. Ye sighed softly and said: "It's all my fault..."

It has been more than ten years, and it is impossible to explain clearly in just a few words who was right and who was wrong in what happened back then.

Does she have any regrets over the years?

Yes!

But she didn't regret giving birth to Ye Yuntian, but regretted the vow she made in anger, which completely brought the matter to an irreversible point.

Karma, the cause you sow will lead to the subsequent results.

There was silence in the Buddhist hall for a long time.

After so many years, Mrs. Ye has long been relieved. Now she just wants to spend the rest of her life chanting sutras and praying for her two sons, wishing them peace and happiness.

"Long'er, before you left last month, didn't you say that he was back? How is he now?"

Ye Long knew that nothing he said would work, and his mother had already forgiven the bastard in her heart. Every time they met, she would always ask about the bastard's condition. If it was good, she would be happy, and if it was bad, she would be worried.

During the more than half a year since that bastard disappeared, I don’t know how many times I recited blessing scriptures for you. Maybe the scriptures are really useful...

No matter how dissatisfied Ye Long was, he had to admit that the bastard had changed a lot since he came back, which was unpredictable. The key point was that his strength became more and more terrifying, and it was simply bottomless.

"That bastard is doing very well now, and he's probably going to break through..."

Ye Long told the story of how Gu Hao defeated the representatives of various sects in Yunzhou with one look that night.

"Is this really happening?"

Mrs. Ye couldn't believe it after hearing this. She was not an ordinary woman. As the previous mistress of Ye Mansion in Yunzhou, her martial arts realm had reached a first-class level, so she didn't look old.

She knows very well what it means to have another first-class breakthrough. It is even more unbelievable if this is the case.

The realm of innateness...

It had not been seen for many years, but her knowledge of the innately powerful people was still found in ancient books.

"Mom, my personal experience can still be false. Now all the sects know about this and are trying their best to have something to do with our Ye family."

Ye Long thought that he was often approached by strangers during this period, and it was all caused by Ye Yuntian.

"The ancestors of the Ye family bless..."

Ye Long said dissatisfied: "Mom, he just touched it. Whether he can successfully break through is another matter."

Once Ye Yunzhen enters the innate realm, it will be impossible for him to catch up in this life.

"He is still young and will definitely succeed."

Mrs. Ye warned: "No matter what, he will always be your eldest brother. Now the master of the Ye Mansion, you cannot act based on your emotions at such an important moment."

Ye Long responded helplessly: "Mom, I know."

……

Mother and son chatted until childbirth, before Ye Long left, leaving Mrs. Ye alone in the Buddhist hall.

In the dead of night, the oil lamps in the Buddhist hall are burning.

Mrs. Ye began to recite scriptures again, her expression became more and more pious...

Gu Hao stood at the door, looking at Mrs. Ye's figure chanting sutras, feeling a little sad in the corners of his eyes, and sighed in his heart.

The mother did not know that the person she prayed for God's blessings was no longer alive.

"Who?"

Mrs. Ye felt the gaze behind her and turned around immediately to see Gu Hao, who was dressed in night clothes. His face was covered with a scarf and only his eyes were exposed.

"Long'er, you..."

At first Mrs. Ye thought it was Ye Long returning, but she soon realized that the man in black in front of her was not Ye Long.

Ye Yuntian and Ye Long are very similar in terms of body shape and height. It can be seen that Mrs. Ye has already recognized Gu Hao with just a pair of eyes.

"What are you doing here? Have you forgotten the oath I made?"

The joy on Mrs. Ye's face flashed across her face, and she immediately turned her back to Gu Hao and said angrily:

"In this life, we, mother and son, will go up to the blue sky and down to the underworld, and we will never see each other again until we die!"

If you break your oath, you will be punished by God.

Gu Hao was slightly startled. He had heard this sentence before, and it came from Ye Yuntian.

At first, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all, and he still guessed what it meant. It turned out to be Mrs. Ye's vow to break up with him.

"You go away, we shouldn't meet!"

Mrs. Ye issued an eviction order and did not welcome Gu Hao's arrival.

Gu Hao was eavesdropping behind the door just now and knew that Ye's mother had already forgiven Ye Yuntian, but she was a devout believer and drove him away mostly because she was afraid that breaking her oath would cause her son to suffer retribution.

Ye Yuntian is dead, and this oath has actually been broken...

But Gu Hao couldn't tell the truth. It was too cruel to Ye Mu.

He has lived here in seclusion for more than ten years, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha every day to pray for his son, but the result is like this, and he is afraid that Ye Mu will not be able to bear it.

Alas, it can only be said that God’s will plays tricks on people.

Gu Hao didn't say a word, glanced at Ye Mu's back, and left quietly.

That night, no one except Mrs. Ye knew that he had been here.

……

A few days later.

Yunzhou City, Ye Mansion.
