After dinner, Ye Jia cleaned up the table while Zhan Yuntian hummed a tune and watched TV. Zhan Jingyue hugged Zhan Yuntian's arm and kept acting coquettishly.
When Zhan Feng saw this scene, he thought to himself," As expected, there was no heavy atmosphere. However, he was very puzzled because today was October 25th.
He walked to the kitchen, pulled Ye Jia's apron, and asked,""Mom, I have a question for you. Can you tell me?”
Ye Jia smiled gently, wiped her hands on the towel, squatted down and answered,""No problem. Just tell me what you want to know. I'll tell you everything I know.”
Zhan Feng took a deep breath and asked with a firm expression,""Mom, isn't today the World Mourning Day? It's a day for the whole world to mourn. Although I don't know why, our family has never celebrated this holiday. Why?"
Ye Jia was shocked. She stood up and said seriously,""Feng 'er, you're still young. You don't have to know about this. Go watch TV with Daddy Jingyue.”
Zhan Feng didn't move. He stared straight at Ye Jia and said,""Mom, please tell me. Our school didn't have any classes for the whole day today. They were teaching us something about 'cherishing life'. Moreover, the teachers all looked like they wanted to cry. That feeling made me very uncomfortable. They all look very unhappy, but our family is different. I must understand."
Ye Jia rubbed her temples. She had no choice but to face her son who had a temper like a donkey. She had to figure out the problem. She was considering whether to tell her son about it. Although her son was very sensible now, much more sensible than his peers, this matter was not simple.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the kitchen door. It was the owner of the house, Zhan Yuntian. He said,""Feng 'er, since you want to know so much, come with me.”With that, he walked towards the study.
When Zhan Feng heard that, he immediately followed.
Arriving at the study room, Zhan Yuntian stood by the window and looked outside. His eyes were filled with sorrow, but his gaze was extremely sharp, as though he could see through everything.
Zhan Feng came to his father's back and did not disturb him because he knew that his father often did this.
After a while, Zhan Yuntian retracted his gaze and picked Zhan Feng up. He asked,""Feng 'er, what can you see outside the window now?”
When Zhan Feng heard this, he immediately looked out the window. After a while, he replied,""Dad, it's very beautiful outside the window. You can see many stars and colorful lights.”
Zhan Yuntian laughed.”
Although Zhan Feng was very mature, he was still a child after all. He had not experienced many hardships and did not understand what his father meant at all.
Zhan Yuntian put Zhan Feng down and said very seriously,""Feng 'er, what I'm going to say next is the most important thing in our family. You must remember it all, and you can't tell anyone, not even your best friend Zhang Haotian. Promise me and I'll tell you."
This was the first time Zhan Feng felt his father's majesty. This was the first time since he was born that his father was usually all smiles, like an old naughty child. Zhan Feng knew very well that if he could not keep it a secret, his father would not reveal a single word to him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head vigorously."I definitely won't tell you."
Zhan Yuntian nodded his head in satisfaction,"Feng 'er, although you're only eight years old, you've already grown up. You have to fulfill what you said. This is a man's promise.”
Zhan Feng smiled. He smiled very happily.”
Zhan Yuntian looked out of the window again and said slowly,""Feng 'er, you can only see the beautiful scenery from the window, but I can see something deeper. The evil that was shrouded by this night.”After that, he didn't speak for a long time. From Zhan Yuntian's blurred eyes, one could see that he was immersed in his memories.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Zhan Feng. He said solemnly,""Feng 'er, you must remember that this world is not as beautiful as you imagine. It is filled with blood and sin. It was like this before entering the' Great Cultivation', let alone now. If a person wants to live an upright life, they must possess one of the three things, or even more. These three things were power, wealth, and strength. Among them, strength was the most important. Therefore, Feng 'er, you must pass the sect assessment in a few days.”
Zhan Feng remained silent and only nodded firmly. Some words between father and son could be understood without words.
After that, Zhan Yuntian continued to narrate this secret,""More than ten years ago, the world was still very peaceful. There weren't many ancient cultivation sects. There was only a prosperous city life. Back then, I was just a young man in my twenties. I came to this city to work hard. After a period of hard work, I was recognized by the boss and my position was continuously promoted. It was also at that time that I met your mother. We met, got to know each other, fell in love, and fell in love. Just as we were about to get married, a sudden nightmare came. I didn't know why I was fired from the company. I begged everywhere but no one helped me. I was surrounded and beaten by a group of hooligans on the street. I was seriously injured but I didn't go to the hospital. It wasn't that I didn't want to go, but no hospital was willing to treat me. At that time, your mother was frightened and went around asking for help. At this moment, a young man appeared. It turned out that he was the son of the chief. He had taken a fancy to your mother and had only done this after finding out about our relationship. He came to help us with hypocritical kindness. At that time, he made a condition. As long as your mother was willing to follow him, he would let me stay in the best hospital and receive the best treatment. All the medical expenses would be covered by him. However, how could I agree to such a condition? I rejected it immediately. He didn't care at all. He just smiled sinisterly and said,""You will kneel and beg me." Then, he left. In the end, that night, a group of people broke into our house and kidnapped your mother and me to an abandoned factory. There, that sh * t eldest son was waiting for us. He asked us,"Have you changed your mind?" Of course, I gave the same answer. After that, he got people to beat me up. Your mother couldn't stand it anymore and was about to agree to his request when someone appeared. The person who had done our family a great favor appeared. His name is Lin Zhengfeng." As Zhan Yuntian spoke till here, his eyes flickered with an unknown light, as though he was laughing and crying.
For some reason, Zhan Feng's soul trembled as well, as if he had some feelings for this benefactor of the Zhan Family whom he had never met before.
