Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The old man obviously thought Lu Chen was here to remind him that fishing in the lake area in front of him was no longer allowed after its restructuring a few years ago, and fishing was subject to a fine.

Lu Chen didn't expect that the old man would get it wrong. He knelt down and smiled, "Old sir, you misunderstood. I'm not here to chase you away. I just want to ask you about someone."

Although he was basically sure that he was in the right place, and the person in front of him was most likely a blood relative of Ye Fan, he still had to confirm, mainly because Lu Chen was aware of his luck.

He always felt that he could find someone just by running to a certain place, which was a bit too dreamy for him.

"Young man, you're not from here, aren't you? Look at how you're dressed. Is the retro style popular among young people nowadays? Is it called... dunking Prey to death?"

The old man looked at Lu Chen. At this time, Lu Chen was wearing a black robe, lined with ancient white clothes, and with long hair hanging loose. From the perspective of modern people, he looked really nondescript.

The old man said and smiled again, "Look at me, I have forgotten. Who does the young man want to find out?"

Lu Chen observed the old man in front of him. Although he had a worried look on his eyebrows and was not in good health, he could still feel from the conversation that the other man was actually a very talkative person.

Sure enough, Ye Fan's strong social skills are not without genetic reasons.

"I have a friend who asked me to help visit his parents if I pass by this city. I followed the address to find them, but I don't know which household they live in."

Lu Chen sat down on the big pebbles nearby, as if he was not in a hurry.

He is not lying. Although he found out the community where Ye Fan's parents live through some channels, because Ye Fan's parents donated their property after their son disappeared and moved to the suburbs of City B, living in a remote place, this is where they live. Many things in the community were not fully registered, so if Lu Chen wanted to find which household they belonged to, he would have to search them one by one.

Of course, he is a monk now, and it won't take long for his spiritual mind to check. But now that he meets by chance, he naturally wants to do it more naturally, so as not to be too abrupt when he suddenly comes to the door.

"That friend of yours is also true. He misses his parents, so he comes back to see them. He is busy with work, and his family is always the most important thing."

The old man said with emotion, "What's your friend's last name? How old are his parents? Tell me, old man, I might have an impression."

Because Ye Fan's parents gave birth to children late, and Ye Fan is now in his early forties, the old man in front of him is at least seventy years old. Coupled with the pain of losing a child, he looks even older than the average old man of this age. some.

After hearing what the old man said, Lu Chen also sighed with emotion. The old man said so, he probably misses his son very much, but he doesn't know in his heart whether he will see him again in this life.

"My friend's surname is Ye. To be honest, I went to the community where my friend's parents lived before, but was told that they had moved away. It took a lot of trouble to find it here."

Lu Chen saw several park rangers walking in the distance and quickly helped the old man put away the fishing rod and put it directly into the storage space.

Because the old man didn't come to fish, he just liked to sit here and think after casting the rod, so he didn't bring any other fishing gear at all.

Before the old man could react, he found that the fishing rod in his hand was missing. He looked left and right, but there was no trace of it. He only knew that it seemed that this young man had taken action just now.

When he looked around, he also saw the park rangers, and he immediately understood what the young man meant.

The management staff came over to take a look at Lu Chen and the old man, and found that no one was fishing here as someone said.

Lu Chen smiled at a few people. The managers felt inexplicable palpitations and were a little scared. They didn't dare to stay longer and walked over quickly.

After a few people left, he took out the fishing rod and handed it back to the old man.

"Hey, that's amazing, young man, are you a magician?"

The old man was very surprised, "This technique is good. You are so young and you can practice it so well."

"Haha, the old man's awards are all just tricks."

Lu Chen smiled.

The old man might have been in a better mood since he hadn't chatted with the young man for a long time. Thinking of what Lu Chen said just now, he sighed with emotion: "The young man is also interested in visiting his friends and is so serious. By the way, how long has it been since your friend came home?" , I don’t even know that my family has moved, it’s so unfilial.”

The old man obviously regarded Lu Chen's friends as the kind of people who stayed away from home for more than ten years and didn't even contact their families.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, "...he also tried to mention it to me, saying that he was unfilial."

The old man slapped his thigh and said, "You think this kid, since he feels guilty, why doesn't he go home and have a look? We are all a family. Even if we had a quarrel in the early years, what can't we say?"

"He... really wanted to come back, but more than ten years later, he couldn't come back. He was always looking for a way back."

Lu Chen sighed softly.

The old man felt that what this young man said was a bit confusing. Thinking about it carefully, what was the last name of the person he said he was looking for?

"Young man, what's the name of your friend...can you tell me the old man?"

When the old man asked the question, he suddenly felt an unexpected hope in his heart.

He didn't know why, even though it was almost impossible, he still wanted to ask.

Lu Chen and the old man looked at each other, "His name is Ye Fan."

Plop——

The fishing rod in the old man's hand fell into the lake. He didn't realize it. It was like thunder exploding in his ears. Those two words were as heavy as a thousand stones and made the blood all over his body surge.

His whole body was shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, a pair of old hands tightly grasped Lu Chen's hand, and he stared into the other person's eyes, "What did you say his name was!?"

"Old gentleman, don't be excited. Do you know him? I said his name is Ye Fan."

When Lu Chen saw the other party's reaction, he knew that he must have found the wrong person. Looking at the excited old man, he felt very emotional.

Poor parents in the world, Ye Fan is an only son, an old man in his fifties and sixties, and suddenly his son mysteriously disappears. How he feels, just thinking about it makes people sigh.

It's no wonder that when Ye Fan was drinking with him that night, he cried bitterly when he mentioned his parents, saying that his parents were already in poor health. How could he live with sadness without him?

"Ye Fan...Ye Fan..."

The old man repeated the name with tears streaming down his face, "He is my son!"

He held Lu Chen's hand tightly, afraid that this was a dream, and even more afraid that Lu Chen would disappear, and the other party would be the only clue to find his son!

"What!? You are Uncle Ye!"

Lu Chen also pretended to be surprised. He was a pioneer, but he could not act omniscient and omnipotent, and that would be very suspicious.

He helped the old man sit firmly, saluted and introduced himself: "My name is Lu Chen, Ye Fan's friend. Uncle Ye, please don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, okay, kid, I'm not excited. Please tell me, how is Fanfan doing now?"

Uncle Ye looked at Lu Chen with hope and fear in his eyes. He was looking forward to hearing that his son was fine, but was also afraid to hear that his son had passed away.

"Uncle Ye, don't worry. Brother Ye is living well, but he is a man of the hour."

Lu Chen comforted him with a smile, and used his spiritual power to dredge the old man's blood and help him calm down.

Old man Ye felt a little more comfortable, and when he heard that his son was still alive, he felt refreshed. He quickly asked, "Where is Fanfan? Why doesn't he come back?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said in a way that the old man could understand: "Back then, the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin on Mount Tai brought Brother Ye to a magical world. Old Man Ye could understand it as a place where gods live, and Brother Ye also became a powerful person. He is a god, but that place is too far away and it is difficult to come back. He has been trying to find his way back."

After hearing this, the old man digested the information for a while, and then looked at Lu Chen in confusion, "Young man, are you from that world too? How did you come back?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said: "I was originally born on Blue Star. By chance, I set foot on the road outside the territory, and met Brother Ye in that magnificent world. As for my return, it was just an accident, not a normal return. I I didn’t expect that when I woke up again, I would return to my hometown.”

Uncle Ye listened carefully to every word Lu Chen said and thought about it carefully. Although some of the words sounded like fantasy to him, he was the one who paid attention to that incident when the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin and descended on Mount Tai. Everyone knows it.

His son Ye Fan disappeared in that incident. Of course he knew it well and always hoped that the official refutation of the rumors was false. It was a real immortal dragon who came to take his son to become an immortal and was not buried in the accident.

Now after listening to Lu Chen's words and thinking of the other party's magician-like methods just now, Old Man Ye thought to himself, are there really immortals in this world?

But it doesn’t matter if there are immortals. The most important thing is that Fanfan is still alive!

"Uncle Ye, I wonder if Auntie is okay now?"

Lu Chen asked, hoping that nothing unexpected happened.

When asked about this, Mr. Ye sighed, "The body of the old woman at home...sigh——"

Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed to the lake, using his spiritual power and thoughts, the fishing rod was pulled up. He put it into the storage space first, and helped Old Ye who was a little tired after his mood swings, "Uncle Ye, this is not the place to talk. , why not go home and let me check on my aunt first."

Old Uncle Ye nodded after listening to Lu Chen's words. In short, it was good to know that his son was not dead yet.

Parents, do they really just want to see Mark again?

What has made them haggard these years is not that desire, but the worry of the unknown.

Missing.

These two short words are the most torturous.

They don't know whether their son is alive or dead. Rather than saying that what they long for is for their son to come home immediately, their simplest wish is just that someone can tell them for sure that Ye Fan is still alive.

Even though he can't imagine it, knowing that his son is still alive makes him feel much better.

Even though they are far apart in the stars, they can pray for their son and have sustenance in their hearts.

He saw this young man's strange methods and didn't think that such a capable person was specifically here to deceive him, but he still chatted with him a little about things related to Ye Fan on the way.

As a result, the other party could describe it perfectly, no matter in terms of personality, habits, or some small movements, which made Old Man Ye even more relieved.

Because he was walking back, Lu Chen was not in a hurry and walked for more than 20 minutes before arriving at the old community.

It's not that Ye Fan's family is poor, Ye Fan was very capable back then. Not to mention driving a Mercedes-Benz at a young age, it is said that he also earned enough property to make his parents worry-free for the rest of their lives.

But Lu Chen still didn't know what Ye Fan did back then, making so much money...

Now Ye's father and Ye's mother live here. They just donated all the property left by Ye Fan to the orphanage. They are an old couple who have no expenses and live a simple life. The house here is also rented.

"Old lady, we have a guest today, and we have good news."

As soon as Mr. Ye entered the door, he shouted loudly, which showed that he was in a happy mood.

On the balcony, an old woman sitting on a single sofa was basking in the three or four o'clock sun. She had reading glasses on her eyes and a large photo album on her knees.

She sat there for an unknown amount of time, and the photo album was not flipped through. She was just recalling the good times in this quiet afternoon.

After Old Man Ye shouted, Mother Ye came back to her senses and was a little surprised. Usually the sun would have gone down when the old man came home. Why did he come back so early today?

When she turned around and saw a young man with long hair accompanying the old man, she was even more confused. There were no relatives at home, so where could the guests come from?

She thought about it slightly, wondering if it was the children from the orphanage who had grown up and came to express their condolences?

She stood up, with a smile on her old and kind face, "Sit down, kid. Grandma will get you something to eat."

Lu Chen stepped forward quickly and said repeatedly: "Auntie, don't bother me, I'm not hungry."

Mother Ye felt a little strange when she heard this. The young man in front of her looked to be in her twenties, and she was already over seventy. Generally speaking, she was the age of grandma.

And the title of aunt is usually a respectful title that young people use to their elders when the two families have been friends for generations. Why did he call me that?

At this time, Old Man Ye closed the door and said with a smile, "Old lady, this is our friend Fanfan who came to see us specially."

Ye's mother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Fanfan's friend? It's from the university..."

She stopped mid-sentence and realized that fifteen years had passed and Fanfan's college classmates were all in their forties. How could they be so young?

But if we weren't college classmates, could it be that Fanfan still had "friendships" with elementary school children when he was still there?

"Auntie misunderstood. Brother Ye and I met more than ten years ago, in another world."

Lu Chen explained.

Hearing this, Mother Ye's wrinkles on her face changed. She stared at Lu Chen with excitement, "You...you mean...you know Fanfan after my family left!?"

Lu Chen nodded, "Auntie, don't be excited, your health is important. You sit down first, and I will slowly tell you two what is going on."

"Okay, okay, kid, tell Auntie quickly, how is Fanfan doing now?"

Ye Mu's excited heart rate skyrocketed. Lu Chen noticed it and used his spiritual power to help stabilize her blood flow while combing her muscles and bones.

He pulled the two old men to sit down and slowly narrated: "This is what happened..."
