The village and scenery before me seemed like reflections on the lake, becoming increasingly blurred in the spreading ripples.

Until these images completely dissipated, the light disappeared, and everyone returned to the darkness.

But this time it was no longer pure darkness.

The ever-changing light flickered in the darkness, making Chu Linfeng a little dazzled. He asked Wu Xin in a low voice: "Master, am I as blind as you?"

Wu Xin refused to touch porcelain: "I am now very good at hearing and seeing clearly."

Chu Linfeng: "I was blind before, and I was blind too."

Wu Xin: "..."

He couldn't sense Chu Linfeng's location in the darkness, so he could only suppress his urge to save his soul and focus his attention on the constantly rotating and changing lights.

These lights are like fireflies in the dark night, tiny and weak, but full of tenacious vitality.

The faint light that was originally irregularly distributed in the darkness now slowly gathered in the direction where Zhao Shi was, even illuminating a corner and faintly reflecting Zhao Shi's figure.

Looking at the dim lights surrounding Zhao Shi, Jiang Xin reminded him in a childish voice, "Fourth Senior Brother, they are coming to grab you again."

Zhao Shi's mind was slightly moved. He looked at the lights around him that seemed to have life, and asked in a low voice: "Are you from the Moon Clan?"

The light flickered, as if answering his question.

The moonstone in Zhaoshi's hand responded with the same soft moonlight.

The entire darkness was instantly filled with soft moonlight, as if one was in an ocean of moonlight.

Jiang Xin walked to Zhao Shi with her short legs, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand and touched the moonstone: "Hey!"

It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the moonlight around it created ripples.

Amid the ripples, the moonstone in Zhaoshi's hand became ethereal and transformed into a stream of light, merging with a ray of light in the ocean of moonlight to form a vague human figure.

Zhao Shi's heart subconsciously beat three times faster.

The figure became clearer and clearer, and finally revealed a face similar to Yu Ye.

The only difference between this Yu Ye and the one I had met before was that this face didn’t look anything like Qiao Yuan.

He looked at Zhao Shi and smiled with satisfaction: "You have grown so big."

The young voice carries a unique sense of vicissitudes.

Zhao Shi felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The blood in his body was surging, resonating with this man and the moonlight around him.

He is from the Moon Clan.

——At least in part.

Zhao Shi looked at the man in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The man smiled slightly: "My name is Yu Ye."

"Why is it different from what I just saw?" Chu Linfeng came over and asked.

Yu Ye gave a sly smile: "Guess."

Are you quite naughty?

Chu Linfeng thought that if he could guess it, he wouldn't have asked.

Glancing at Jiang Xin at his feet, Chu Linfeng suddenly had an idea and picked up Jiang Xin and held her in front of him: "Junior sister, give him a guess."

Jiang Xin lived up to expectations and explained everything in detail: "Because the current state of these Moon Clan members is unstable, the appearances we saw in the village just now were all condensed according to their thoughts. Some retained their original appearance, and some were mixed with the appearance of others in their memories."

Zhao Shi's pupils suddenly dilated: "Senior, do you know my mother?"

Yu Ye's upturned lips subconsciously curled higher, and he nodded with a smile: "No need to be so polite and call me 'senior', just call me 'dad'."

Others: “???” You are really rude.

Wen Ziqi complained to Ren Yuan in a low voice: "I've never seen anything like this in my life. I didn't expect to see someone openly taking advantage of the disciples of Tianshui Sect in my lifetime."

Ren Yuan was full of admiration: "You are so courageous."

Jiang Xin didn't understand why they were so amazed: "But he is really Fourth Senior Brother's father."

When these words came out, Ning Yao and the others were stunned.

Instead, Zhao Shi felt as if he had expected it.

When he saw Yu Ye’s face similar to Qiao Yuan’s in the village before, he suspected that Qiao Yuan had been here.

When he realized that he also had the blood of the Moon Clan in his body, Zhao Shi couldn't help but guess in this direction.

Now Jiang Xin's words only confirmed his guess.

Under the mask as thin as a cicada's wing, Zhao Shi stared at Yu Ye with complicated eyes.

This man looked only a few years older than him and had such a naughty personality, it was hard to imagine that he could be his biological father.

He always thought that his father would be as steady as his master Jiang Yichen.

He was silent for a long time.

"What a clever little girl." Yu Ye's surprised eyes moved away from Jiang Xin, and he looked at Zhao Shi and smiled slowly, "Why are you so stupid?"

Zhao Shi's Adam's apple moved, and he suppressed all the emotions surging in his heart and said in a hoarse voice: "My mother..."

Thinking of Qiao Yuan, Zhao Shi's emotions surged and he suddenly felt a little upset.

Yu Ye's eyebrows softened: "Is your mother okay?"

Zhao Shi bit his lip and said in a hoarse voice after a long while: "She is dead."

The smile on Yu Ye's face froze, and instantly turned into concern: "How could she die? You look young, so it shouldn't have been long since she died. She still has a long life ahead of her, so how could she die?"

"She gave birth to a child out of wedlock, which was considered a shame by the Qiao family. After I went missing, she was killed." Excessive emotions filled Zhao Shi's chest, and he had to speak word by word.

Yu Ye was stunned where he stood, unable to accept it: "I went through so much trouble to send her back, but she still died... She shouldn't have died... How did you get lost? How have you been these years?"

"Why send her back alone to die?" Zhao Shi asked dissatisfiedly.

Yu Ye looked at Zhao Shi in astonishment. It took him a moment to understand where Zhao Shi's anger came from. He tried to collect his thoughts and sighed, "She will die if she stays here. I sent her back because I wanted her and you to live safely. I didn't expect... who killed her?"

Zhao Shi didn't say anything, but stared at Yu Ye, not knowing whether he should believe him.

Jiang Xin jumped from Chu Linfeng's arms into Zhao Shi's arms and whispered in his ear: "Fourth Senior Brother, all the Moon Clan members here are not alive."

Her voice was very soft, but all the monks present heard it.

Yu Ye's body was indeed not as solid as that of a living person. At first, everyone thought that this was a characteristic of the Moon Clan. Now, after hearing what Jiang Xin said, they looked at him again and found that Yu Ye indeed exuded a kind of deathly aura that a living person would not have.

But if he was a dead person, it was impossible for him to be as agile as Yu Ye.

Chu Linfeng didn't understand the reason, so he asked Jiang Xin in a low voice: "Junior Sister, do they have any special way of dying? Can they remain conscious after death?"

Jiang Xin answered every question: "They are not completely dead, and are now between life and death. Now we can see this Yu Ye because he used the blood resonance between him and the fourth senior brother to show up. Otherwise, he would have turned into illusory moonlight like the other Moon Clan members here."

Everyone was already used to her erudition, but Yu Ye's face was filled with increasing astonishment, and finally turned into a solemn expression: "Why does this child know so much?"

Jiang Xinchao puffed out his chest proudly: "Because I'm smart, clever, and adorable!"

[It is my clever junior brother who is the dumb one. ]

"Ah!"

Jiang Xiao sneezed violently, feeling like someone was scolding him. (End of this chapter)
