Chen Yang did not stop him, just watched him puff and smoke, the spark in his hand slowly burning.
"Did grandpa give you anything before he left?" Chen Tianmin spoke again when the cigarette was halfway burned.
A second ago, Chen Yang’s mood was still quite complicated, but upon hearing this, he beca slightly alert.
It was still that saying, the person in front of him was indeed his second uncle.
But after twenty years, who knows what kind of person he has beco?
Even though his cultivation is powerful, the sickly person in front of him poses no threat, but a necessary precaution is still required.
"No." Chen Yang denied it without hesitation.
In fact, when grandpa left, he left more than one thing for him.
The dical King Scriptures, the silver needle, and that jade pendant shaped like a dicine jar.
He was just not sure what Chen Tianmin ant, so he did not reveal the truth.
"What about your parents?" Chen Tianmin asked again flatly.
"No, it happened suddenly. I was in the city studying at the ti and didn’t get to see them for the last ti." This ti, Chen Yang spoke the truth.
He did indeed miss seeing his parents for the last ti.
"When you ca back to deal with the aftermath, did you find anything strange, like a jade pendant?" Chen Tianmin extinguished the cigarette in his hand and asked directly again.
Upon hearing the words "jade pendant," Chen Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
Because among the things grandpa imparted to him, the most important was that jade pendant.
If it weren’t for the jade pendant, he certainly wouldn’t have his current cultivation and abilities.
The first ti Chen Tianmin asked about the family’s situation, he asked about the jade pendant. Did he already know the jade pendant was not simple?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Chen Yang’s mind, but in the end, he shook his head: "No."
"Alas... it seems the Chen Family has co to an end... well, perhaps this is also a kind of relief." Seeing that his continuous questioning bore no fruit, Chen Tianmin suddenly sighed softly and mumbled sothing.
"What end? What relief? What are you talking about?" Chen Yang heard Chen Tianmin’s words and couldn’t help but question.
"Nothing, just a casual sigh." Chen Tianmin shook his head, pretending that nothing happened, and then shifted the topic, talking about other things with Chen Yang.
First, he praised the achievents Chen Yang had made.
During these two days, although Chen Tianmin had always been in the dical room, he still learned a lot about Chen Yang’s recent developnts from various sources.
Knowing that Liuhe Village had developed from a small mountain village into what it is today, it was all Chen Yang’s achievents.
But hearing the words of praise, Chen Yang just shook his head: "Just lucky, that’s all."
"Actually, sotis luck is also a part of strength. Moreover, not everyone can seize the opportunity when luck cos their way. The fact that you seized the opportunity shows you have abilities beyond others," Chen Tianmin calmly said.
Chen Yang agreed with his words; it was indeed a wise statent, and he couldn’t find any flaw in it.
However, he didn’t say anything, which was a tacit approval of Chen Tianmin’s statent.
"You must have a lot of questions about inside, right?"
After a brief pause, Chen Tianmin actively sought to engage in conversation.
"Yes, a lot." Chen Yang was straightforward, he always had many doubts about this second uncle.
However, since his body was not fully recovered, Chen Yang held back his curiosity and didn’t ask.
Now that he proactively brought up the topic, Chen Yang naturally followed up on the conversation.
"Haha, it’s normal to have many questions. Let alone you, if I suddenly found out I had a second uncle who disappeared for over twenty years, I would also be surprised and have many questions." Chen Tianmin smiled suddenly.
Chen Yang remained silent.
"If you have any questions, just ask. I ca here today because I want to tell you about so unknown matters." Chen Tianmin lit another cigarette, preparing to provide explanations.
Seeing this, Chen Yang could no longer hold back and poured out all the questions in his heart at once: "Why did you leave back then? What did you experience in these twenty years? Why was there no news at all, and even when grandpa and father passed away, I didn’t see you, and why did you suddenly return?"
Chen Tianmin was not surprised at all by Chen Yang’s questions, as if he had expected everything.
He took a few deep puffs of smoke, exhaled softly, and began, "My departure at that ti was for unavoidable reasons. If I had a choice, I would never have left."
"As for what I experienced in those twenty years, I’m not at liberty to tell you. I have a mission that I must complete, and during this ti, I had to sever all ties with the family! So I didn’t even know when the old master and your father passed, which is what I regret the most now."
Chen Tianmin spoke with a light tone, very sincere in his words.
After hearing it, Chen Yang still didn’t understand much.
Because what he said didn’t contain much substance, just vaguely stating that he had unavoidable reasons.
Chen Yang chose not to question the authenticity of these claims for now and decided to believe him.
"And your return now ans your mission is completed, right?" Chen Yang asked.
For this question, Chen Tianmin took a couple of heavy puffs on his cigarette.
There seed to be endless sorrow and helplessness.
"No, but I’ve done my best, I couldn’t complete it, so I dragged my almost dead body back here." Chen Tianmin replied.
After answering this question, it seed as if he beca weakened by a few degrees, his whole body appearing sowhat unsteady.
Seeing this, Chen Yang didn’t know why but developed an inexplicable emotion.
He seed to feel a strong sense of sympathy for this uncle in front of him.
"Can you tell what your so-called mission is?" Chen Yang asked again after a long silence.
Chen Tianmin shook his head: "I can’t. I’ve nearly paid for it with my life, and no one in the Chen Family should be associated with it anymore."
Chen Tianmin’s words were always misty and elusive.
It seed as if there was sothing outside that had so connection with their family.
The more Chen Yang listened, the more questions ford in his heart.
But he saw that since Chen Tianmin refused, he certainly wouldn’t relent, so these questions could only remain in his heart.
"Then do you have any plans for the future?" Chen Yang changed the question.
"No plans, just to live a life in the village, working during the day and resting at night; it’s the best outco." Chen Tianmin sighed again, his tone filled with endless lancholy.
He seed to have resigned to fate.
"By the way, there’s sothing I need your help with." Suddenly rembering sothing, Chen Tianmin turned to look at Chen Yang and said.
Chen Yang was still digesting everything Chen Tianmin had just said.
