Time passed quickly, and Jiang Hao seemed a bit dazed. The sky was already starting to brighten.
“When did the Seven-Day Village appear?” He looked at Tian Chen.
At that moment, Tian Chen was making a fire and cooking. He was waiting for his son to wake up.
“It was a very long time ago. The villagers here are mostly families of the members of The End of All Things. We can only enter on the seventh day. We can never truly meet. It doesn’t matter how fast we are or how hard we try. The only thing we can do is stay until the first day starts again,” Tian Chen said absentmindedly while tending to the fire.
“Isn’t that cruel?” Jiang Hao asked.
“That’s why others don’t come here anymore, but they all care about the Chaos Stone Island, and there are some powerful figures among them. So, the Island Master allows them to visit,” Tian Chen said.
“What if I were to kill the Island Master and the others?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.
“If you kill them, others will come and take their place. There’s no shortage of people like them.”
Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to it. “Have you ever thought about starting over?”
Tian Chen’s hand paused. He then shook his head and smiled. “We can’t go back.”
“Are you really interested in The End of All Things?” Jiang Hao asked.
He never really got to talk with someone from The End of All Things. He had so many questions.
“I’m not really interested,” Tian Chen said honestly. “I just want to kill the people that I want dead. I’m not interested in anything else. But I will also do things for The End of All Things anyway. In the world of cultivation, there’s no such thing as innocent or guilty.”
“What about ordinary people?” Jiang Hao asked.
“If a lot of people die as a casualty, I wouldn’t care,” Tian Chen said solemnly. “I have become the person I hate the most in this journey. I understand why those people don’t care about the life and death of my entire family. Nobody cares. The only ones who care are the ones suffering.”
Jiang Hao fell silent.
After some time, he asked more about The End of All Things, but he didn’t receive any concrete information, only some vague details.
However, he obtained a way to access The End of All Things’ secret code. It was regularly updated.
The advantage was that he could truly become a member of The End of All Things in the future. The disadvantage was that by using this identity, he might be noticed by Tian Chen if he came into contact with him.
Tian Chen didn’t have much information, but he knew that Feng Hua had taken over the stone tablet and that King Taomu Xiu was involved. Both of them seemed powerful, and Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if he could postpone the mission. However, there was one thing he couldn’t ignore.
Feng Hua had played him.
As Smiling San Sheng, he couldn’t let this slide.
The first thing he had to do when he got back was to kill Hai Ming as a warning. It would be even better if he could somehow hurt Feng Hua. Only then could they communicate on equal terms.
Now, it was a matter of whether he could make new discoveries as there wasn’t much information at the gathering. It seemed he would have to find unconventional methods.
Jiang Hao thought of leaving, but at that moment, the door suddenly opened, and the young boy walked out.
He was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like he had just woken up. His hair was messy, and his aura hadn’t changed at all.
Even the surprise and worry in his eyes when he saw Jiang Hao were the same as when they first met.
The boy was about to warn his father when Tian Chen said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s alright.”
The young boy brightened up and ran over. “Where’s my mother?”
The boy glanced at Jiang Hao occasionally. However, he didn’t seem as scared as before.
“She’ll be back soon, ” Tian Chen said with a smile. “Let’s have breakfast first.” Jiang Hao watched the young boy eat.
After a while, Tian Chen cleaned the dishes and went to wash them. Jiang Hao didn’t understand why he was so calm.
“Uncle, are you very close to my dad?” the young boy asked.
“Not really,” Jiang Hao said.
“Do you know my mother?” the young boy asked in a hushed voice.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “I don’t know her.”
“I thought so. My mother said my dad cares about her a lot. He treats her like a precious treasure. I just don’t know why he’s letting her go out alone now,” the young boy said.
“Really? Maybe she’s visiting relatives, so he’s at ease,” Jiang Hao said with a
smile.
“Do you like Auntie too?” the young boy suddenly asked.
“Huh?” Jiang Hao was a bit puzzled.
“That Auntie?” The young boy looked at Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
“Children say the most ridiculous things,” he said hurriedly.
Hong Yuye had been drinking tea. She set her teacup down.
She glanced at the young boy and then back at Jiang Hao. A faint undercurrent seemed to be lurking in the gentle breeze. It was ready to surge at any moment. The young boy looked at Jiang Hao with wide eyes. He was confused.
“Aren’t you two married yet?” asked the boy.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. This child wasn’t as well-behaved as Xiao Li. He had to change the topic of this conversation. “Do you have dreams for the future?”
“Dreams?” The young boy glanced at his busy father and nodded. ‘Yes.” “What do you dream of?” Jiang Hao asked.
The young boy smiled warmly and said, “When I grow up, I want to be a great and kind person. I want to be someone whom others look up to.”
Jiang Hao was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he asked a question he had never asked before, “What’s your name?”
“Yang Chu. My mother named me. She’s very knowledgeable, and she said I’d bring hope like the morning sun in the future,” the young boy said.
“Indeed.” Jiang Hao nodded and smiled.
Some people get to live their lives, no matter how bitter or melancholic they may be. Others don’t even get to start, despite having bright dreams for the future.
“I have to go now,” Jiang Hao said as he got up to leave. “Uncle,” the young boy said. “You are a good person, right?”
Jiang Hao laughed. He bid the child goodbye and left.
He had asked all he wanted to ask Tian Chen. Now, he had some questions for Madam Gong.
In theory, she should be able to survive and possibly gain her freedom.
Tian Chen also knew very little about her. He only knew that she suddenly arrived one day and decided to stay.
Since she hadn’t caused any trouble, no one questioned her presence.
As for Madam Gong’s condition, Tian Chen knew nothing about it, so he couldn’t inquire about the twisted figure.
On his way, Jiang Hao had wanted to ask the young boy about his future, but when he met Hong Yuye’s gaze, he didn’t bring it up.
It was a strange look. It was like a warning that advised him to not ask something like that..
