The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

From the moment they met just now, Jian Qiuyan was certain this was her daughter!

That feeling of closeness, of a blood connection, was something you absolutely couldn't fake!

After more than twenty long years, she was finally seeing her daughter again!

She had thought they would never meet again in this lifetime!

She never expected that Lin Chuyue would be the one to find her first.

Lin Feng was also emotional, but he was calmer. He made no move to take off his mask. Instead, he took out two disposable paper cups, poured two cups of hot water, and handed them over.

"You must have been cold on your way here. Have some hot water first."

Lin Chuyue was desperate to ask questions but was afraid of startling the people before her, so she just accepted the cup.

After drinking the hot water, she did feel much better and had calmed down a bit.

Xiao Ye put down his paper cup and spoke up, breaking the silence. "Since you've all met now, there are some things you can't avoid."

"Why don't you just explain things clearly?"

"I can only help if you tell me what's going on. If you don't say anything and just try to bear it all yourselves, you might just end up hurting yourselves and others."

Xiao Ye looked at the couple and smiled faintly. "What if I can deal with the person you're afraid of, but you're not even willing to give it a try?"

"Then you'll truly be missing your last chance to reunite with your family."

This was exactly what the two of them were thinking.

Lin Chuyue couldn't hold back any longer. "I've been separated from my parents for over twenty years! I just want to see them now!"

"And my grandpa, he wants to see you too!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath. "Alright. I'll start by explaining what happened to us."

"If you can really solve it, then we'll definitely be willing to come home and reunite with the family!"

The subtext of his words was clear: they were indeed Lin Chuyue's parents.

The very same Lin Feng and his wife who had been missing for over twenty years!

Lin Chuyue was on the verge of tears. "Can you take off your masks and let me see you?"

"We've already met, so no matter what happens next, just let me see you this once!"

"I'm begging you!"

Jian Qiuyan could no longer heed Lin Feng's earlier warning. She abruptly tore off her mask and threw her arms around Lin Chuyue.

"My Yueyue, my daughter!"

The moment she saw that face, Lin Chuyue knew. The person before her was her mother!

Even though more than twenty years had passed, even though they had aged!

But that face, those eyes, were exactly the same as the ones she had seen in videos and photos!

Lin Chuyue hugged her back tightly. "Mom!"

Hearing that word, Jian Qiuyan broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. The pain of being separated from her own flesh and blood for over twenty years was something no one else could possibly understand!

If she didn't know where her child was, if she didn't know if she was even alive, maybe it would have been a little easier.

But she knew everything, yet she had to hide, to live a life of secrecy, forced to endure it all.

She had to suppress all her longing and pain by herself. That was the most painful part of all!

Seeing that Jian Qiuyan had already taken off her mask, Lin Feng sighed and removed his as well. "Chuyue, I am indeed your father."

Lin Chuyue let go of Jian Qiuyan and threw herself at Lin Feng. "Dad!"

"SOB… I've finally found you!"

"It's so wonderful that you're still alive!"

Lin Feng gently patted Lin Chuyue's back, his own eyes turning red.

Xiao Ye didn't disturb the family's reunion, just sitting quietly to the side.

After a good half hour, Lin Chuyue's and Jian Qiuyan's emotions finally stabilized.

She couldn't get enough of looking at Lin Chuyue. "I can't believe Yueyue has grown up to be so beautiful."

"You were so tiny when I left."

"You've really been wronged these past twenty years."

"It's all our fault. We had to do this to keep you from danger."

Lin Chuyue shook her head. "I understand. I get it. Right now, I just want Grandpa to be able to see you too."

But Lin Feng shook his head. "No, we can't go back yet."

With that, he turned to Xiao Ye. "I know your family is extraordinary, and I know you're very powerful, but that doesn't mean you can solve our crisis."

"Tell me first," Xiao Ye said, completely confident in his ability to handle things.

"Fine. I'll tell you everything from the beginning."

"Have you ever heard of Master Que Jin?"

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Never heard of him. Let's put it this way: I know every famous and genuinely capable master in this world."

"But there's definitely no Master Que Jin among them. So he's either not a real master, or his abilities just aren't up to snuff."

"Impossible!" Lin Feng retorted instantly. "This Master Que Jin is absolutely a real master! I've seen what he can do with my own eyes!"

"His powers are beyond comprehension! Don't think I'm easily fooled. I may only be from the Lin Family, not on the same level as your Xiao Family, but that doesn't mean I'm inexperienced."

Xiao Ye's brow furrowed. "It's because of this Master Que Jin?"

"That's right! It's all because of him!"

"Over twenty years ago, Qiuyan and I were out with Chuxing."

Hearing the name Chuxing, Lin Chuyue's heart leaped into her throat.

Lin Feng continued, "It was because a master had previously told us that Chuxing's and Chuyue's destinies were in conflict. So, we were planning to send Chuxing away to be raised elsewhere for a while."

"But on the way, we ran into Master Que Jin."

"After he saw Chuxing, he asked us some questions. He even asked if we had another daughter and mentioned the Golden Saber."

"He seemed like a genuinely capable person, so I wondered if there was a way he could solve the problem between Chuxing and Chuyue."

"But I never expected that after I told him Chuxing's and Chuyue's Eight Characters... he just... snatched Chuxing away!"

At this, even Jian Qiuyan gritted her teeth in anger. "We were no match for him at all!"

"Later, we followed him, wanting to get Chuxing back, and... a lot of things happened."

It was those events that convinced them that Que Jin was an incredibly powerful master!

"As he was leaving, he told us that if we wanted to protect our second daughter—that is, Chuyue—we had to disappear and live in anonymity!"

"We could never return home. Otherwise, he would take Chuyue away too, or... kill her outright!"

"He definitely has ways to kill without a trace! We can't even begin to describe how powerful he is. It's just too terrifying!"

Xiao Ye wanted to ask what exactly happened after they followed him, but neither Lin Feng nor Jian Qiuyan was willing—or dared—to speak of it.

Xiao Ye's brow furrowed tightly. They were clearly sensible people, not the type to be easily tricked.

This meant that Master Que Jin must actually have some real skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have scared them so badly that they hadn't dared to return home for over twenty years.
