Chapter 2163 - 2152: Father? Demon Lord?
If the daughter of the Beiyao Ancient Clan who betrayed the clan, as mentioned by Dongfang Ziyue, is indeed his mother, then who could the Demon Lord of that hundred-thousand-year-old ancient clan be? Could it be his father?
How could this be possible? Could his father truly be in this Third Parallel Universe?
At this moment, Lin Zifeng felt his mind go blank, a whirl of confusion, completely unable to make sense of it.
"Are you... are you okay?" Dongfang Ziyue noticed Lin Zifeng’s drastic change in emotions, furrowing her brows, knowing he must be hiding something from her.
"Is that nineteenth-generation daughter really named Meng Bingyun?" Lin Zifeng glared with his crimson eyes, as if flames were burning within them.
"Yes." Dongfang Ziyue’s face turned pale, clearly seeing a special affection he had for the nineteenth-generation daughter. It was very likely that there was a certain sentiment between him and that nineteenth-generation daughter.
At this time, Dongfang Ziyue dared not ask further. After all, before the matter was investigated thoroughly, Lin Zifeng remained a complete mystery to her.
Today, during the battle in the imperial palace, he defeated top genius level figures from two duchies, and those people were far from ordinary mortals.
This reinforced one of the reasons why Dongfang Ziyue sought Lin Zifeng’s help.
"Alright, you should leave now. You can just take me to the Beiyao Ancient Clan when the time comes." Lin Zifeng waved his hand, signaling Dongfang Ziyue to exit.
He wanted some time alone now, truly needing peace and quiet to calm down.
"Alright." Dongfang Ziyue nodded, giving Lin Zifeng a glance as she turned to leave, observing his expression and mood, seeing that he had no expression or emotion, she slowly turned away and left the room.
At this very moment, after Dongfang Ziyue’s departure, the empty room was left with only him.
However... his eyes were already red, after so many years, seeking his parents constantly ended in disappointment every time. Now, this opportunity lay before him, frankly, he even felt he had lost the passion to continue searching for his parents.
All these years, every time he got a sliver of news about his parents, he would be moved, grateful for yet another opportunity granted by the heavens, but... unfortunately, each time ended in disappointment.
This time, although Dongfang Ziyue spoke of this Meng Bingyun, who very likely could be his mother, inside his heart he was struggling intensely, hoping that person wasn’t his mother, because if that person indeed had a significant connection with his mother, he would inevitably be drawn into the painful riptide of searching for his parents once again.
One disappointment after another, logically, should have built his mental resilience, but in reality, the repeated disappointment had lowered his heart’s tolerance more and more.
The more hope appeared, the more his heart would hurt once again, because behind every hope could very well be another massive disappointment and pain.
"Bang!"
After struggling intensely within, he punched the wall, feeling highly conflicted, conflicted whether to continue down this path.
"I have walked this path for many years now, if it ends in another failure once more, I truly don’t know how much mental resilience I have left. Ha, truly fate plays a joke on me, everything originally could have ended, yet here it is again."
Lin Zifeng’s face was filled with a deep, bitter smile; since this day had already come, what reason did he have to miss it?
It’s merely going to the Beiyao Ancient Clan to have a look, if the nineteenth-generation daughter really has a connection to my mother, Beiyao Ancient Clan, I, Lin Zifeng, will ensure you pay!!!
After his internal strife, he silently swore.
......
And after leaving Lin Zifeng’s room, Dongfang Ziyue walked out of the courtyard, also caught up in her own conflict. When Lin Zifeng heard about the nineteenth-generation daughter Meng Bingyun earlier, his emotions were intense, and he asked about it repeatedly. Could it be he had some sort of relationship with the nineteenth-generation daughter of the Beiyao Ancient Clan?
Dongfang Ziyue was very puzzled, knowing that Lin Zifeng helping her was certainly not for free, he had his own requirements. He hadn’t yet disclosed the reason for going to the Beiyao Ancient Clan, yet Dongfang Ziyue felt there was some connection to that Meng Bingyun.
Perhaps that’s why he agreed to help her.
Dongfang Ziyue, being a very intelligent woman, understood the mutual benefits involved; since Lin Zifeng was willing to help her overcome a crisis, she must lend him a hand too.
No matter the reason behind it.
......
While in another part of the Mortal World.
"Tangtang, you’re about to meet your Mother Empress soon, aren’t you nervous at all?" On the helicopter, Huahua patted Liu Tangtang who was lost in thought.
Their goal this time was to bring Big Bear out; they had secretly planned for a long time now, determined to bring Lin Zifeng out from the West.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean huh, you’re about to meet your Mother Empress soon, don’t you feel a bit nervous? Oh, and Tangtang, we’re coming to borrow Big Bear, do you think your Mother Empress will agree? What if she disagrees, then we can’t go west to find the beast." Huahua said.
"Then let’s not meet my Mother Empress." Liu Tangtang considered it, unsure how to solve it, because once she met her Mother Empress, whether she would agree to her request was another matter entirely. Making decisions to borrow Big Bear to find Uncle in the West, if her Mother Empress disagrees, it’s very likely she would scold her severely, perhaps even lock her up, and forbid her return.
"What? Not meeting your Mother Empress, how will you borrow Big Bear then?" Huahua looked shocked.
"Don’t worry, Huahua, there are ways, but... Huahua, Tangtang is somewhat scared, do you think we can really find Uncle in the West? What if Uncle isn’t in the West?"
Speaking of this, Tangtang’s face showed a touch of conflicted struggle; after all, their plan was huge this time, and if Lin Zifeng wasn’t in the West, they would have done all for naught since making autonomous decisions had already been quite bothersome.
"Silly girl, the handsome guy said it, the beast is currently in the Bright Church, that evil woman has locked our beast uncle away, surely not letting him return, so we must rescue him during this time. If we don’t find the beast, how can we bring him back? There are always exceptions, if we don’t strive to act, how could we know if it will succeed? Wouldn’t you agree?"
"Yes, yes, as you said... but... Tangtang is still a bit scared, I fear..."
