Hearing the sound, Chen Fan slowly let go of the old man.
The old man coughed twice, his aged face flushed with excitement.
“Young… Young Master, it’s really you!”
“I searched for you, and it was so difficult!”
“After so many years, I’ve finally found you!”
“Wuwuwu…”
In a short while, the old man was weeping.
And he wept very sincerely, without any pretense; tears couldn’t lie!
Young Master?
When did he become Young Master?
Damn it… What was going on?
Now, it was Chen Fan’s turn to be bewildered. What did this all mean?
“What do you mean?”
Chen Fan stared at the old man before him.
The old man rose and knelt before Chen Fan, stammering, “You… you are my old master!”
Chen Fan felt something was wrong, so he said, “Old fellow, you’d better explain yourself clearly, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Immediately, the old man began to explain…
It turned out he was a servant of the Chen clan! Kuaishuge.
And this Chen clan was no ordinary family, but an ancient martial arts family that had existed for seven to eight hundred years.
Compared to those hidden aristocratic families, they were not just a little stronger.
And Chen Fan was a member of this family, moreover, a direct descendant!
His father was the acting patriarch of the Chen clan, the future successor of the entire Chen clan!
But good times didn’t last. One day, twenty-three years ago, a shocking upheaval occurred in the Chen clan!
Internal strife!
The entire clan descended into chaos!
Chen Fan, the future Young Master, only survived that conflict under the protection of a group of loyal followers.
Among them, the black-robed man before him was one of those who protected Chen Fan… Now, times had changed, and he had become an old man.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan found it unbelievable and sneered, “Whether what you’re saying is true or false, I won’t believe you!”
“Also, don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
The black-robed old man knelt on the ground and said with emotion, “Young Master, I was severely injured back then and fled to Niutou Mountain. I placed you on a piece of bluestone. Everything I’m saying is the truth!”
“If I lie, may lightning strike me!”
Hearing this, Chen Fan frowned. The old man he knew seemed to have mentioned once that he was picked up from a stone! But the problem was, any parent would say such a thing to their mischievous child! So, the truth was hard to discern!
“Heh, I still don’t believe what you’re saying!”
The old man said excitedly, “Back then, I was too seriously injured and worried about the danger of bringing the Young Master with me, so I specifically placed you on that bluestone. But when I returned, you were gone. So I began to search, searching frantically, but you had vanished as if evaporated from the earth. I thought you had met with misfortune and was about to give up. But one day, suddenly, a piece of news spread through the martial arts world about an expert from Niutou Mountain. So I resumed my search…”
“Also, in the bundle that wrapped you back then, there was a dragon-shaped jade pendant and a blood letter!”
Mentioning the dragon-shaped jade pendant, he suddenly remembered playing with it on the mountain. He said in a deep voice, “Is the jade pendant you’re talking about golden yellow, with two golden dragons carved on both sides?”
Upon hearing this, the old man became even more agitated, “Yes… Yes!”
“It’s this jade pendant!”
“It is your symbol of identity!”
“With this jade pendant, you can still control everything when you return to the Chen clan…”
“May I ask, Young Master, that jade pendant?”
“Lost!” Chen Fan said casually.
“Ah?” The old man was stunned, “This… this this…”
