Chapter 747: Chapter 767: That Cliché Love Triangle_1

After hearing this, Feng Lan felt much more at ease in her heart.

Although her strength was not high enough, she had been in Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven for more than twenty years and had a complete understanding of this world.

Nanyue Hengshan Stone Cave Master may have few disciples and no sect inheritance, but his strength was extremely strong, making him one of the top experts in the Cultivation World.

As his direct disciple, Lin Chen would certainly be shown some face even in Kunlun Mountain.

Master Shi had a strange temperament; if someone killed his direct disciple, what do you think he would do?

He would take action without considering whether it was Kunlun Mountain or somewhere else, as there was no difference in his eyes.

Lin Chen bowed his head, picked up his scattered clothes, walked to the stream, and began washing them. At the same time, he asked, "Mom, I just heard them say that Dad is missing?"

With a sad expression, Feng Lan nodded: "Previously, he accompanied an elder from the sect to explore the Yin Yang Valley Forbidden Land. The entire team was attacked by demonic beasts. Although the elder managed to escape, he was left in a crippled state. Most of the other disciples were killed or injured, and your father disappeared without a trace..."

Lin Chen’s heart sank; Yin Yang Valley Forbidden Land!

Earlier, Qiu Shisan had mentioned the Tomb of the Demon Emperor in Yin Yang Valley to Lin Chen, but he never expected that his father would also be missing there.

Lin Chen responded comfortingly: "Just because he’s missing doesn’t necessarily mean he’s dead. Maybe one day he will suddenly reappear."

Feng Lan naturally knew that her son was trying to comfort her, and she was well aware of the reality of the situation: her husband was likely dead. However, as the closest person to him, she would not give up as long as there was even a glimmer of hope.

Within a few moments, Lin Chen had cleaned and wrung out the dirt from his clothes, put them back in the wooden basin, and picked it up. "Mom, let’s go back," he said.

Feng Lan looked at Lin Chen’s deft movements while washing the clothes, knowing that he must have suffered a lot over the years. Otherwise, where would he get such clean and efficient movements for washing clothes?

At this thought, a wave of heartache and guilt welled up in Feng Lan’s heart.

The two of them returned to the Siheyuan, and Feng Lan deactivated the prohibition, allowing them both to enter the room.

"How have you been all these years? And how is Mr. Xue?"

Lin Chen handed Feng Lan the letter that Xue Kuangren had left for him: "Master has trained me to be self-reliant since I was young, teaching me cultivation. Later, I even went to serve as a soldier for five years. Upon my return, Master helped me get engaged..."

Feng Lan’s eyes lit up: "You got married?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes."

Feng Lan asked worriedly: "Then what about her when you enter Nanyue Hengshan?"

Lin Chen replied: "Don’t worry, she has her own opportunities. Her ancestor was in Penglai Divine Mountain, and she was allowed to enter Penglai and inherit her ancestor’s cultivation. We will meet again someday."

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good. I was just worried that if one of you was in the Cultivation World and the other in the human world, it would be too difficult."

Lin Chen laughed lightly: "You have another daughter-in-law in Cangshan Cave Heaven. She was injured on that day, and to save her, I used a Cangshan Door Guide to send her to Cangshan..."

Feng Lan’s eyes widened: "Two?"

Lin Chen nodded and briefly recounted the story of the three of them. After listening, Feng Lan’s expression was complicated for a moment before she sighed: "They are all good women. You must treat them well and not let them down."

Lin Chen nodded and asked: "Can you tell me what happened after you guys were taken back to Kunlun Mountain by Miss Tang?"

Feng Lan’s gaze was complicated: "Miss Tang really liked your father. If it weren’t for me, your father would have probably ended up with Miss Tang. I didn’t have a Door Guide, so according to the rules, I wasn’t allowed to enter Kunlun Mountain. Miss Tang brought us into Kunlun and then asked the Cave Master to self-punish her by defending North Cold City for twenty years, in exchange for my qualification to enter Kunlun. Not only did she save the lives of your father and me, but she also helped me enter Kunlun and facilitated the marriage between your father and me."

Lin Chen said softly: "So, Miss Tang has done us a great favor?"

"Yes. After the Cave Master agreed, she went alone to North Cold City, and we didn’t see each other for twenty years. When she returned, your father had already been missing for several years. In recent years, she’s been coming to see me occasionally. If it weren’t for her care, I’m afraid I would have had an even harder time."

Feng Lan’s face was complicated: "Miss Tang is a good person. When she saved us, she could have just saved your father and left me behind. After all, my injuries were severe, and it would have been normal if I couldn’t be saved. But she saved me with all her might and did so much for me. I knew that all this was not for me but for your father."

"When I think of her suffering alone in North Cold City, fighting against demonic beasts, while I stayed together with your father for all these years, I feel uneasy. With my low strength and no other way to repay her, I made a decision. Once she returned from North Cold City after twenty years, I would quietly leave and let them be together. But things didn’t go as planned. Before she came back, your father went missing..."

Lin Chen blinked, not knowing how to evaluate this love affair for a moment.

His father had a deeply loving Miss Tang by his side, while his mother had a Guo Tang who loved her unrequitedly and eventually went mad...

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Chen asked softly, "Did Dad have feelings for Miss Tang?"
