Da Hu silently smoked his cigarette, not saying a word.
In the end, he shouldered everything alone!
Even Old Su couldn't find a girlfriend; he was still a single dog.
Among the three of them, he was the oldest in their year.
As for Master Yu, hehe… as long as he wanted to find one, it would be effortless.
However, Su Lai managing to pursue Li Mumu was indeed a cause for celebration.
On the other side.
Yu Shuntian and Bian Lihong walked along the bamboo forest path.
Both were over seventy years old. So many years had passed, and the past was no longer as important.
Bian Lihong looked at the man beside her, the man she had always deeply loved. Although he had passed his prime, his youthful appearance was still faintly discernible. She inquired.
"Since that brat was born, you completely disappeared from the martial world. Where have you been all these years?"
Bian Lihong had always kept track of Yu Shuntian's life.
From the birth of Yu Wei to the birth of Yu Daochen.
But what puzzled her was how Wei'er had died.
She didn't believe that the son of a top expert on the Black List could die in a car accident.
According to her intelligence, Yu Daochen's mother died during childbirth, and Wei'er died in a car accident.
But the most significant thing was that Yu Shuntian had suddenly disappeared on the day his grandson was born, with no news whatsoever.
Bian Lihong initially thought it was enemies coming for him, but after investigating, she found that no experts in the martial world who could match Yu Shuntian had contacted him.
Upon his return, Bian Lihong had been keeping a close eye on Yu Daochen and his grandmother.
Until Yu Shuntian's wife passed away and Yu Daochen was taken away.
That's when the clues completely vanished.
Yu Shuntian's face showed a hint of bitterness as he recounted the entire story, including the true reason for Yu Wei's death.
That year, upon learning Yu Daochen's true identity, all members of the Yu family made a decision.
It was named the "Death-Defying Protection Plan."
Because it was the fairy's last reincarnation, if she were killed, her soul would completely vanish from this world.
In this lifetime, the beings from the heavens were even more frenzied.
When Yu Daochen was born, three powerful celestial beings descended, vowing to completely eliminate the fairy's reincarnation.
And this Death-Defying Protection Plan was very simple: pay any price to protect Chen until he had the strength to confront the beings from the heavens.
This Death-Defying Protection Plan also required an insurance policy.
The purpose of this insurance policy was to prevent Yu Daochen from being helpless and without assistance if Liu Feng and Qin Muyu encountered any accidents.
The candidate for this insurance policy was originally Yu Wei.
However, he believed his strength was inferior to his father's, so he decided to perish together with one of the celestial beings.
Liu Feng and Qin Muyu managed to kill two of the celestial beings with great difficulty, but they were also severely injured.
Yu Wei naturally understood that his strength was inferior to Liu Feng and Qin Muyu, but for his son, he chose to perish together with the last celestial being.
Without the Death-Defying Protection Plan of that year, there would likely be no new generation superstar in the martial world today, the esteemed Master Yu of Jiangdu.
To prevent Chen from being nipped in the bud, everyone racked their brains.
The most crucial figure in this was Chen's father, Yu Wei.
After listening to Yu Shuntian's narration, Bian Lihong's face showed bitterness: "You've had a tough time all these years."
Yu Shuntian shook his head, a smile appearing on his face: "For my grandson, I've worked tirelessly behind the scenes."
The reason Yu Daochen could dominate the martial world without any enemies seeking revenge, besides knowing that there was an existence in the Midnight Spirit Shop that they couldn't afford to offend, was more because Yu Shuntian had been resolving troubles from the shadows.
There is no greater pain in the world than an elder outliving their child.
Knowing that one's son was fighting to the death against a stronger existence, and being unable to intervene.
What a painful torment that was.
However, it was all worth it.
Yu Daochen had now grown to a point where he could face any difficulty.
Bian Lihong looked up at the sky, a smile of relief appearing on her face: "I finally understand where I lost."
Yu Shuntian fell silent and did not speak.
The past was long gone, and dwelling on it now was meaningless.
Bian Lihong seemed to recall something, glanced at Yu Shuntian, and asked, "Did you truly never fall in love with me?"
Yu Shuntian did not answer but smiled and said, "I only love my wife."
"I understand."
Bian Lihong nodded and turned to walk back.
Yu Shuntian watched Bian Lihong's carefree demeanor, realizing she had let go, and smiled: "Aren't you going to walk a bit longer?"
Bian Lihong shook her head: "No, I've lost, and I accept it."
At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to their youth.
Upon returning to the wooden house and seeing that the two had not made a move, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, seeing Bian Lihong in a good mood, Yu Daochen looked at his grandfather again.
Yu Shuntian did not answer but gave him a look.
It was as if he was saying, children shouldn't meddle in adult affairs.
Once Liu Feng entered this wooden tub, he could not get out, not even to change the water or medicine.
Yu Shuntian seemed to recall something and called Yu Daochen aside.
Yu Daochen followed, looking at his grandfather's secretive demeanor with confusion: "Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"
Yu Shuntian shook his head and then took out two beads.
Looking at the beads in his grandfather's hand, Yu Daochen's brows furrowed tightly.
"This is!"
"That's right, these are the inner cores of that flowering snake and the true dragon."
Yu Shuntian nodded, then added, "I remember you swallowed the inner core of a flood dragon before, right?"
Yu Daochen nodded.
He had swallowed quite a few beads.
He had swallowed Qin Muyu's inner core back then, but he had also spat it out and returned it to him.
Then, when he was in Nanyang Village, he swallowed a spirit bead to save Zhang Xiaoqiang's fiancée.
However, that time there was an accident; not only did he spit out the spirit bead, but he also spat out a cute daughter.
Then, he fought against a pseudo-ghost immortal in the Yu family and swallowed a black bead after killing her.
After that, he fought the flood dragon and swallowed its inner core.
Finally, he swallowed the City God's memory bead.
Along the way, how many beads had he swallowed?
There were all sorts of strange and peculiar things.
Even he himself felt fortunate that he had swallowed so many inner cores and beads without any issues, and even managed to harness their power for himself.
Yu Shuntian nodded, then said, "If it were an ordinary person, swallowing just one inner core would have already caused their internal organs to rupture due to the powerful energy. But you didn't. Although I don't know the reason, this is enough to show that your physique is extraordinary."
Yu Daochen nodded.
To be honest, he didn't understand why he was fine.
"Swallow these two inner cores," Yu Shuntian said immediately.
Yu Daochen paused for a moment, surprised: "Swallow these two inner cores?"
Yu Shuntian nodded and explained: "That's right. From my observation, you can convert the energy from swallowed inner cores for your own use. Although I don't know if there's a limit to this, this true dragon inner core is far superior to that flood dragon inner core."
