Chapter 537: Xiao Tong’s Reincarnation
At this moment, Shi Letong’s eyes rolled, and he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. He mumbled with a puzzled expression, “Actually, now that you mention it, I heard from my grandfather that when my mother went down the mountain to train, her name was Shi Xiaohe!”
“What?” Shan Lingfei shouted in shock. Then, he put his hands on Shan Lingfei’s shoulders and asked excitedly, “Is what you said true? Your mother’s name is Shi Xiaohe?!” Then, he let go of Shi Letong and said emotionally, “That’s right. Your mother’s name is Shi Xiaohe, and you look so much like her. You must be my son.” He raised his hands to the sky and spun a few times in excitement. Then, he stood in front of Shi Xiaotong and said nervously, “You’re my son. You’re my son, Tong ‘Er!”
Shi Tongle pretended to be very confused and said, “But… but I’ve never seen my father before. How do I know if you’re my father?”
Shan Lingfei, “…”
“No, Tong ‘Er, listen to me. My wife’s name is Shi Xiaohe. Your mother’s name is also Shi Xiaohe, and you and your mother are at least seventy to eighty percent alike. So, you must be my son. According to my calculation, you’re the right age too.” Shan Lingfei said excitedly, “So, Tong ‘Er, you must be my son! I always thought that Xiaohe was an ordinary person, so I’ve been searching the secular world over and over again. I didn’t expect that she was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Gate sect!” As he said these words, there were tears in the corners of his eyes. He was both excited and touched.
He had waited for fourteen years. Just when he was about to despair, he finally found him.
Shi Letong was still confused. Shan Lingfei asked nervously and excitedly, “Child, where is your mother? Is she up at the Sky Mountain?”
Shi Letong shook his head and said truthfully, “I have never seen my mother. So, I don’t know whether I look like my mother or not. However, master and grandfather both said that I look like my mother!”
“What? You’ve never seen your mother before?” Shan Lingfei’s expression froze. His agitated emotions were quickly splashed with a bucket of cold water, dousing his heart with cold water. “Why haven’t you seen your mother before?”
He immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Shi Letong said, “Eldest senior brother said that when my mother gave birth to me, she was bleeding heavily. At that time, there were no pills to stop her bleeding. When eldest senior brother arrived, she was already on her last breath!”
Of course, eldest senior brother didn’t really tell Xiao Tong anything. He saw and heard everything.
Xiao Tong was already at the aurous core stage, so he could take revenge for his mother!
However, his feelings towards this biological father were very complicated.
He had always known about his biological father, Shan Lingfei, but his biological father did not know about him.
Furthermore, there was enmity between the Heavenly Gate Sect and the Shan family. He was not sure what kind of connections his father had with the Shan Family.
Xiao Tong would avenge his mother eventually. What if Shan Lingfei wanted to stop him as the descendant of the Shan Family?
Therefore, he wanted to probe this person’s attitude before deciding whether he should acknowledge him or not.
“What did you say? Say it again!” Shan Lingfei could not believe what he had heard.
His wife was dead!
The wife he had been looking for fourteen years was dead.
And she had died fourteen years ago.
Shi Letong said it again very seriously, “I said my mother was dead. After giving birth to me, she passed away!” Shi Letong said it clearly.
Shan Lingfei felt like the sky was falling. The world was spinning, and his face was pale.
Devastated, Shan Lingfei vomited blood on the spot.
Shi Letong’s eyes flashed, and his expression was somewhat moved.
His biological father truly loved his biological mother!
It was why he was so devastated.
“Uncle, are you okay?” Shi Letong immediately went forward to support him with worry. Then, he took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and poured out one. He said, “This is the rejuvenation pill refined by my ninth grandfather. It can be used to treat internal injuries. Eat it.”
Shan Lingfei shook his head and said, “No need. My injuries can’t be cured. Don’t waste your pills.”
It was very difficult to find pills in the nine heavens continent. It was very difficult to hire an alchemist to refine pills.
Shi Letong frowned and said, “Uncle…”
“Child, I’m your father! Shan Lingfei was filled with anticipation and wanted to reunite with his son.
Xiao Letong pursed his lips tightly and looked at him very seriously. He asked, “You said that you’re my father. Do you have any evidence? You can’t say that just because I look like my mother. Isn’t it normal for a child to look like their parents? What if you’re wrong?” He shook his head.
Xiao Letong had to make sure that Shan Lingfei would not stop him from taking revenge on the Shan family. Only then would he decide whether to admit his father or not.
“Your mother is my wife.” Shan Lingfei clutched his chest and said in pain, “When I received the family mission and left, she was already pregnant.”
Of course, Xiao Tong knew about this.
When he was in his mother’s stomach, he already had a clear perception of the outside world.
Shi Letong said sharply, “Since you knew that your wife was pregnant, why did you leave her? Family mission? What bullshit!” Those despicable and shameless people of the Shan family actually went to such great lengths to deal with a weak woman.
Shan Lingfei was filled with regret and hatred for this matter over the years.
With a bitter smile, he said, “That’s right. I knew that the people in my family were unhappy with Xiaohe. Why did I accept the mission from my family and leave?”
Tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes.
“I will regret that decision for the rest of my life!” Shan Lingfei continued, “If I had known that they were going to harm Xiaohe, I would have brought her away no matter what!” Shan Lingfei remembered that when his father gave him the mission, he said, ‘Lingfei, as long as you complete this mission and bring back the soul-returning grass, we’ll insert your wife’s name on the ancestral book and make her a true daughter-in-law of the Shan family!’
This was equivalent to truly acknowledging Shi Xiaohe’s status in the Shan family.
This condition was quite attractive. Therefore, he only gave it some thought before agreeing.
However, he really did not expect that his father, mother, and a few elders would be so despicable.
The so-called family mission was just their way of luring him away from home. Their true intention was to destroy Shi Xiaohe and her son.
The most horrible thing was they had fabricated the lie that Shi Xiaohe had secretly run away with someone else.
Upon hearing Shan Lingfei’s words, Xiao Letong clenched his fists tightly. He was very angry in his heart, but he still scolded calmly on the surface, “You’re really stupid! You knew that your family was dissatisfied with your wife, and they hated her so much that they wanted nothing more than to get rid of her. You actually abandoned your wife in that wolf’s den.
“Anyone could tell that they were planning to harm your wife. You are the genius of the Shan Family, but you can’t tell that? How ludicrous!”
Shan Lingfei nodded regretfully. “Yes, you’re right. I’m stupid. I’m so stupid!”
When Xiao Tong saw Shan Lingfei’s painful, desperate, and regretful look, he didn’t feel good either.
Shi Letong stared at him with his sharp eyes and said directly, “My mother is your wife, Shi Xiaohe. But whether I recognize you as my father depends on your attitude and decision!”
Shan Lingfei was stunned and then asked blankly, “What do you mean?”
“I want to take revenge on the Shan family! I won’t let go of anyone who bullied my mother back then!” Shi Letong said firmly.
Shan Lingfei’s pupils constricted, his body trembled, and his hands trembled.
“Do you want to take revenge on the Shan Family?” Shan Lingfei asked calmly.
Shan Lingfei knew that the people who bullied Shi Xiaohe were the elders of the Shan Family, including his parents. Their cultivation levels were very high.
“Why? You don’t agree with me?!” Shi Letong asked with a cold look in his eyes.
Shan Lingfei didn’t know how to answer. He thought for a moment and said seriously, “Tong ‘Er, listen to me…”
“Just tell me directly. Do you agree or not?” Shi Letong’s expression was cold and sharp as he said, “These people are your family, so you won’t allow me to kill them?
“Shan Lingfei, I’m telling you now. I will never forgive anyone who has bullied my mother. If you want, try and stop me!”
With that, Shi Letong waved his small hand and flew up. He landed directly on his sword and rode it away.
His face was full of disappointment!
“No, it’s not like that. Tong ‘Er, listen to my explanation!” Shan Lingfei wanted to explain, but Xiao Tong had already left.
