Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 328 The old top mage, a new direction?
"Chen Ying and the others have gone to Kunyu Mountain and should not be home now."

Zhang Chenran was carrying a few big bags of the things he had just bought, feeling a little depressed.

He could obviously put these things into the storage space, but the flame witch just wanted him to carry them.

"Wouldn't it be better if they weren't here?" The Flame Witch blinked.

Zhang Chenran was a little stunned. For some reason, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

Through the contract chain, the Flame Witch could sense his somewhat panicked mood.

"When did you become such a mother-in-law?" she said with some displeasure.

"Ah?" Zhang Chenran looked up at her.

"Come on, we're almost there."

The Flame Witch hugged him, then took his hand and led him towards the seaside.
.........

A small urban village house near the seaside, facing the sea.

There was an old woman lying on a deck chair in the yard. The bright sunshine fell on her wrinkled face, looking particularly peaceful.

Two strange smells came in. The old man slowly raised his eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes when he saw the young man in his early twenties.

When her eyes fell on the woman with skin as white as snow who looked somewhat similar to Chen Ying, her eyes swayed violently.

But soon, she recovered and continued to close her eyes
The old man's every move was caught in Zhang Chenran's eyes, but the flame witch did not notice the violent soul shock.

The flame witch's beautiful eyes were complicated, with guilt, joy, and grievance all rushing into her heart. In the end, these emotions were suppressed and turned into a relieved smile.

She walked to the recliner, squatted down, and whispered, "Mom."

Although the old man did not make any movements on the surface, his soul caused huge waves that could not be calmed down for a long time.

Mr. Yan snorted coldly, pretending to be angry:
"Who are you? I don't remember having a daughter like you."

Facing her mother's cold face, the Flame Witch seemed to have expected it. She smiled coquettishly and said:
"Mom, it was my fault back then. I shouldn't have ignored your dissuasion and insisted on getting married."

"I've been out for so many years and I don't know how to go home. If I don't come back, will I forget all about my old face? Forget it, you have no conscience. That girl Chen Ying will take care of me in my old age, so you don't need to worry about it. "Yan still looks that same.

The flame witch's beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

Has it been more than ten years since she suffered the calamity of heaven and earth and became a flaming creature?
In the past ten years, in order to repay the kindness of the old Flame Fairy, she has been guarding the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. After more than ten years of loneliness, why did she not miss her mother?
In her memory, her father Jiang Xia had divorced her mother, and her mother had raised her since she was a child.

In the end, she failed to let her mother enjoy happiness, and even had conflicts with her mother, insisting on marrying Zhao, although her mother finally forgave her.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." The flame witch's voice was choked with tears, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Yanshi finally looked at her.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Yan's originally filled with resentment suddenly disappeared, replaced by a heartache she had never felt before.

Yan avoided her gaze and asked without any emotion:
"I heard that girl Chen Ying said that you have left the Zhao family. How are you doing now?"

When she asked this question, she glanced at the young man who had been standing there, motionless.

"Mom, I'm doing well." The Flame Witch smiled.

Yan nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Chenran:

"Who is this bastard? Is he also here to pursue Chen Ying?"

The flame witch was stunned. She had already thought about how to explain Zhang Chenran's identity to her mother, but was confused by this sudden question.

Pursuing Chenying?Also, Zhang Chenran is the same age as Chen Ying and looks to be in his early twenties. It is normal for Yan to understand this.

However, can she say that Zhang Chenran is not pursuing Chen Ying, but pursuing her?

"Mom, you misunderstood, he is indeed"

The flame witch hesitated, her previously thought-out wording was disrupted, and she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

"That girl Chen Ying is different from before. There are more and more gangsters pursuing her, and we don't know who will catch her in the end. People, once they identify something deep in their hearts, they will pursue her at all costs. Whether it’s faith, strength, or love love.”

Yan's eyes were half-closed, and he let out a long sigh:

"Okay, it's getting dark soon, and I'm a little hungry too. Chen Ying has been cooking for me for the past few years, and I've almost forgotten what it tastes like."

"I'll do it for you right now." Seeing that her mother didn't continue to ask questions, the Flame Witch breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

When she walked to Zhang Chenran, the Flame Witch wanted to pull him along.

"I want to talk to the old man alone." Zhang Chenran said in a low voice.

The flame witch's beautiful eyes were full of surprise. She glanced at him and then looked at her mother lying on the recliner.

"Believe me." Zhang Chenran continued.

The flame witch nodded slightly:

"Well, don't say anything wrong. Mother is old and can't stand the stimulation."

Zhang Chenran knew what she was worried about and showed her a confident smile.

After the Flame Witch left, Zhang Chenran blocked the connection with her contract chain and walked to a place three meters away from Yan's family and stopped.

Yan looked sideways at him, the cold light in his eyes piercing his heart and soul!

"Senior." Zhang Chenran said respectfully as a junior.

"You kid is not pure of heart." Yan retracted his gaze and said calmly.

"Your cultivation and soul are so powerful that it would be difficult for me not to detect it." Zhang Chenran said with a smile.

The moment he met the flame witch Jiang Feng, Yan's soul tremor was captured by him, even though she hid it well.

To be honest, at that moment Zhang Chenran doubted whether his perception was wrong.

How could a decrepit old woman be a top-level mage who had touched the threshold of the forbidden curse?
Judging from the words of the Flame Witch, Yan has been just an ordinary person since she was a child. She has never seen her mother cast or emit any magic fluctuations.
"I can see that now she seems to have found a new goal. She no longer has to guard Zhuoyuan alone, and has found the happiness she deserves."

Yan was talking to him, but his eyes were staring at the somewhat gray sky.

Zhang Chenran was not too surprised by these words.

She had guessed something from Yan's violent soul fluctuations and words before. She knew, she knew everything!

"I was a failure as a mother, unable to save her when she was frightened and suffering."

This time there were many emotions hidden in her words, not just guilt for her daughter, but also something else.
"Why?" Zhang Chenran asked.

"Child, there are a lot of things you don't know about this. I have to stay here. If I leave, no one can compete with it."
