Chapter 751: Chapter 771: I Have a Premonition That He’s Still Alive..._1

"I won’t go."

Unexpectedly, Feng Lan refused.

Her eyes swept over the room, filled with deep reluctance: "Qi Sijia wants this cave mansion, I never agreed, but it was not that I couldn’t bear parting with the mansion. I couldn’t bear to leave this wooden house and everything inside it. Only here, surrounded by these things, I feel he is still by my side."

Feng Lan’s gaze finally lingered on Lin Chen’s face, filled with guilt: "Chenchen, I’m sorry, from childhood to adulthood, I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a mother. Now, you’ve grown up and established a career; I don’t want to hold you back. Please let me stay here. I want to wait for him here. Really, I have a hunch... he’s still alive..."

Lin Chen fell silent for a moment and gently nodded: "Alright."

At this moment, he genuinely felt the deep love between his mother and father.

He understood her decision.

With his identity as a Cave Master’s personally passed down disciple supporting her, she should not be bullied if she stays here. He could visit her when he has time, and when she changes her mind, they could talk about it then.

Suddenly, Feng Lan stood up: "It’s getting dark soon. I’m going to cook... please stay for dinner, alright?"

Feng Lan’s words were filled with hope and caution, as if fearing that Lin Chen would refuse.

Lin Chen smiled and agreed: "Sure, I’ll help you."

Feng Lan’s eyes reddened as she refused: "No, you sit down. I’ll do it."

Lin Chen didn’t insist any further, and smiled: "Alright, I’ll sit next to you and chat."

"Great!"

Feng Lan went to the door to pick various vegetables she had grown herself, and busied herself preparing a sumptuous dinner. Lin Chen didn’t lend a hand, only chatting casually about his life experiences as he watched.

"Try it and see if you like it."

Lin Chen picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, took a bite, and smiled: "It’s delicious! Your cooking skills are amazing. If you opened a restaurant, the business would be great."

Feng Lan sighed in relief: "Then you eat more, and try this too..."

Lin Chen didn’t hold back, eating his fill and finishing all the food she had cooked.

Feng Lan watched, her eyes moist with tears streaming down her face. She quickly turned away under a pretext, wiping away her tears, not wanting Lin Chen to see.

Lin Chen, his head lowered while eating, felt his eyes redden quietly.

He understood why his mother insisted on not letting him help. She was just a mother who wanted to cook a complete meal for her son and make up for the lost motherly love.

After dinner, Lin Chen bid farewell and returned to the guest garden.

As he lay in bed, Lin Chen’s emotions were in turmoil.

He had originally thought he could meet both of his parents, but had not expected to learn that his father had disappeared ten years ago.

That was Absolute Yin Yang Valley, where most of the people who went there with him died or were seriously injured. His father’s disappearance and not finding the body after ten years meant the probability of death was almost 100%.

As for the premonition his mother talked about, Lin Chen didn’t believe it. Perhaps it was just a way of thinking that refused to accept reality.

According to his aunt Feng Yazhen’s description, his mother was strong-willed, but today she seemed not so strong and quite depressed. It was clear how much his father’s disappearance had affected her.

Perhaps he could inquire about the reason why the Kunlun Mountain team entered Yin Yang Valley ten years ago.

Lin Chen always felt that this matter had something to do with the Tomb of the Demon Emperor that Qiu Shisan mentioned.

Who would risk going to a dead end without significant benefits?

Early the next morning, Song Peng found Lin Chen.

"The Cave Master has summoned you; please come with me."

"Please lead the way."

Lin Chen followed Song Peng across the many main peaks of Kunlun Mountain and finally landed in an unassuming basin between the mountains. In the basin, there was an ice lake with frozen water, yet lotus flowers bloomed on the ice surface.

These lotus flowers were clearly different from ordinary ones. Their leaves were emerald green, and divine light flowed around them, with specks of silver, exuding a sacred aura.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man sat cross-legged by the lake, fishing with a rod in hand.

"Cave Master, Lin Chen is here."

Cave Master!

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in shock. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth was Tang Fengkong, the Cave Master of Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven, a powerful figure who could cause the fingertips of the Cultivation World to tremble just by stamping his foot!

Tang Fengkong turned his head, smiling, and his eyes were filled with divine light. In that instant, Lin Chen felt that all his secrets were exposed.

Lin Chen respectfully bowed: "Nanyue Hengshan disciple Lin Chen, greeting the Cave Master!"

Tang Fengkong smiled lightly, his voice crisp, like a young man and not showing any age: "Wasn’t Old Stone single-mindedly focused on closed-door cultivation? How did he decide to take on another disciple?"

Lin Chen candidly replied: "I visited the fallen Liangchang Mountain Cave Sky in the Human World and saw the remains of Elder Liu Sansheng. I obtained his relics, the Haoran Jue and San Sheng Sword. My master had a past relationship with Elder Liu and wanted to take care of me. So, he asked me to follow Third Senior Sister Qiao Wei in my cultivation..."

Tang Fengkong’s expression showed a hint of surprise: "You came from the Human World?"
