Chen Yan chuckled." Of course. The Zhang Five have done a great favor to my family.”
"Benefactor?" Zhang Wuji was stunned.
Chen Yan nodded." I don't think the Zhang Five would take this matter to heart. After all, it happened many years ago. At that time, you and I weren't there yet. At that time, my parents had just gotten married.
On the way to pick up my mother, my father encountered a group of bandits. If it weren't for the Zhang Five who saw injustice and pulled out their swords to help, my parents would have definitely met with an accident, and naturally, there wouldn't be me.
At that time, my parents wanted to thank Hero Zhang the Five for saving their lives.
However, Hero Zhang the Fifth had something urgent to deal with, so he left first.
"Therefore, ever since I was born, my parents told me that Hero Zhang Five is our family's great benefactor. If we ever meet Hero Zhang Five again, we must repay him.
My mother also drew the image of Hero Zhang the Fifth based on her memory and hung it on the wall of our house.
Our family prayed for the five heroes every day. Over time, the image of the five heroes was engraved in my mind.”
When Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo heard this, they looked at Chen Yan with gratitude and admiration. To be able to pray for their benefactor every day and even let their son remember this great kindness, what a family that valued relationships and loyalty.
Chen Yan saw that the two people's gazes had become gentler, but he felt a little awkward instead. I know the plot. If I don't fool you, who should I fool?
It was just that the people of this era were a little stupid. They could believe such an idiotic lie.
"Brother Chen, how are your parents?" Zhang Wuji asked anxiously.”
Chen Yan sighed and pretended to be sorrowful."When I was ten, my parents passed away.”
When Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo heard this, they lowered their heads and did not say anything. Zhang Wuji apologized,""Brother Chen, I'm sorry."
"It's alright." Chen Yan smiled." It's all in the past. At least I've done what Father asked me to do.”
"What is it?" Zhang Wuji asked doubtfully.
"When my parents passed away, you, Swordsman Zhang Five, and Madam Zhang appeared in the Central Plains again.
My parents knew that they were dying, so they told me to find Hero Zhang the Fifth.
He wants me to serve the Zhang Five for life to repay this great kindness.
I promised my father that after the two elders passed away, I would leave the mountain village and look for Swordsman Zhang the Five. I asked for help everywhere and finally found out where Swordsman Zhang the Five was.
Later, I heard that there was a tragedy at Dragon Gate Escort. I was afraid that something would happen to Swordsman Zhang Five, so I rushed to Dragon Gate Escort immediately. Unfortunately, Swordsman Zhang Five has already…"
As he spoke, Chen Yan revealed a pained expression and lowered his head.
When Zhang Wuji heard this, his eyes turned red. After all, he had clearly seen that scene back then. His parents had slit their throats in front of him. If it were any other child, they would have had a mental breakdown long ago.
Zhou Zhiruo really couldn't bear to see Chen Yan and Zhang Wuji heartbroken, so she quickly changed the topic."Young Master Chen, what happened after that?”
Chen Yan took a deep breath and continued," When I found out that the son of Swordsman Zhang Five was still alive, I was determined to protect his son. Hence, I searched everywhere for you.
Later on, when I found out that Perfected Zhang had brought you to Wudang Mountain, I rushed to Wudang. However, when I arrived, I heard that you seemed to have been injured.
Perfected Zhang took you to Shaolin Temple to treat your illness. I followed you quickly and saw you, Perfected Zhang, Chang Yuchun, and Miss Zhou by the Han River.”
Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo looked at each other. Zhang Wuji shook his head and asked in confusion,""But I didn't see you at that time. And if Brother Chen had been with us, my grandmaster would have noticed you, right?”
Chen Yan shook his head." My hearing is extraordinary. I can hear everything within a radius of three miles.
I didn't show myself. I was just listening to your movements in the dark.
Back then, I didn't know what to do. My father wanted me to serve the Zhang Five for the rest of my life, but I didn't do it. So I vowed to protect you to repay the Zhang Five for saving my life.
But I saw you sick on the bed, suffering endless torture, but I couldn't do anything! I heard Perfected Zhang say that you were hit by the Dark Mysterious Divine Palm and that the Yin poison had entered your body, so I planned to do everything I could to find a way to cure the Dark Mysterious Divine Palm's Yin poison. Then, I would appear and treat your injuries.”
"Big Brother Chen." Zhang Wuji did not doubt Chen Yan's words at all. His face was filled with gratitude.
Zhou Zhiruo also cast an appreciative gaze at Chen Yan and said,""Young Master Chen, was that when you found out about me and…Young Master Zhang?”
As Zhou Zhiruo spoke, there was still a trace of shyness on her face. She stole a glance at Zhang Wuji, but Zhang Wuji was so moved by Chen Yan's gratitude to him and his father that he didn't notice at all.
"En, I heard that Big Brother Chang wanted to send you to the Butterfly Valley for treatment, so I was relieved."
I've heard of Hu Qingniu's name. If it were him, he might be able to save you! Therefore, when Brother Chang wanted to take you to the Butterfly Valley, I stood far away and watched you leave.”
Chen Yan paused for a moment and added,"However, I was also afraid that something unexpected would happen. After you left, I traveled around to see if there was a way to cure your illness.
But when I found out that you disappeared in the Butterfly Valley, I regretted it so much that I wanted to commit suicide. Then, I looked for you everywhere.
Fortunately, God didn't let me down. I finally found you. Fortunately, you look exactly like Hero Zhang the Five. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recognized you if you pretended to be Zeng Anniu.”
When Zhang Wuji heard this, his face revealed a grateful expression. He pulled Chen Yan's arm and said,"Big Brother Chen, I…"
Zhang Wuji had been deceived by others since he was young. He knew the dangers of the martial world, but today…
However, he saw the true feelings of the human world. Chen Yan had only done this to repay his father's great kindness, but he had run around for many years to find a prescription for him.
Furthermore, after knowing that he had disappeared, he did not hesitate to come all the way to find him. How could Zhang Wuji not be moved by such a friendship?
Chen Yan laughed and slapped his shoulder."Alright, I'm already content to be able to find you. Don't wander around this time. It's really not easy to find you.”
Chen Yan's words flowed like a river, and he used a series of deceiving words to retort Zhang Wuji's face.
Zhang Wuji was almost moved to tears by him. He replied,"Yes!"
Zhou Zhiruo was both touched and impressed by Chen Yan. She smiled gently."Brother Chen is indeed loyal. I believe that the Zhang Five will be grateful to you even in the afterlife.”
When Zhou Zhiruo said this, she suddenly felt puzzled.""By the way, Brother Chen, my master said that you absorbed her energy. What's going on? Have you learned any martial arts?"
