Chapter 2377 - Father and Son Meet
Lu Qingmei looked tenderly at Yi Chen.
Thoroughly, too, as if she feared she’d never see him again.
It was just that Yi Chen was covered in blood, dust, and dirt. His whole body was riddled with startling wounds.
The sight of him was like a knife twisting in Lu Qingmei’s heart. It infuriated her, but it also made her heart ache.
“Your father’s disposition has changed a bit in this incarnation, but his Dao Heart is just as firm and unyielding as it was back then,” Lu Qingmei said tenderly. “You’re his son. Even if there’s no bond between you two now, blood is thicker than water. I’m sure he’ll acknowledge you.”
Yi Chen’s lips shifted as if to speak, but he hesitated. A long time passed before he said, “Mother, do I... really have to go? If my choices are recognizing a father I’ve never met or going with you, I’d rather go with you! Even if I die, I’m not afraid!”
Lu Qingmei felt gratified, and her heart filled with warmth. However, outwardly, she remained firm. “You have to go!”
Yi Chen’s eyes instantly dulled. He said nothing.
“You’ve always liked the Dao of the Sword, haven’t you? Well, your father is the unparalleled greatest sword cultivator in all of the God Domain!” said Lu Qingmei, a hint of pride on his face. “When it comes to the Dao of the Sword, you could search the world and all ages past and present without finding another like him!
“Stay by his side, and you can take on his mantle and walk even further down the path of a sword cultivator. I can picture it already. Chen’er, your attainments in the Dao of the Sword will be enough to dazzle the heavens and attract worldwide attention!”
“Mother...” Yi Chen opened his mouth to say something.
“Let me finish,” Lu Qingmei said gently. “If... If anything happens to me, remember this: you are not to avenge me no matter what.”
