Chapter 223 - : Night Chat in the Dungeon (1/2)

The only source of light—a lit torch—brightened the dark dungeon somewhat.

As Meng Chuan walked, he walked to the cell where his father was. Meng Dajiang—still fat—laid against the cell wall dispiritedly.

Click.

Meng Chuan grabbed the prison door and used his Quintessential Essence to cut open the lock. He pulled open the door, and calmly entered.

Meng Dajiang looked up and saw a familiar young figure walk in. He was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “Chuan’er.”

“Dad.” Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and looked at his father. “I’m here.”

Meng Dajiang had a complicated expression as he sighed. “Dad has embarrassed you.”

“It says in the letter that you colluded with the Skydemon Sect. There’s concrete evidence. They even said that you admitted it,” said Meng Chuan calmly. “But I don’t believe it.”

“Ha…” Meng Dajiang smiled and shook his head bitterly. “Who doesn’t have some silly moments in their life? Back then, I was filled with anger, so I took the wrong path. I thought that it wouldn’t affect humanity much if I leaked only some information.”

Meng Chuan looked at his father, neither angry nor vexed. He calmly asked, “Why were you angry back then?”

“Chuan’er,” Meng Dajiang stared at Meng Chuan, “in the past, I didn’t even dare tell you. Even though you’ve become a Great Solar Godfiend, it might still be too early to tell you. However, my crimes probably result in an execution. Thus, I’ll tell you everything.”

Meng Chuan frowned. He knew that his father had secrets! However, he refused to believe that his father’s secrets would make him collude with the Skydemon Sect.

“Your mom has always been alive,” said Meng Dajiang with a smile.

Mom… is still alive? Meng Chuan was stunned. He had come here today because of his father’s so-called ‘collusion’ with the Skydemon Sect. However, he received an unbelievable piece of news.

The gentle figure in his memory was still alive?

“Then… the tomb I pay my respects at?” Meng Chuan was stunned.

“It was all a cover-up. We told everyone that we failed to find her bones after she blocked the demons. That’s why we made a cenotaph,” said Meng Dajiang. “However, we lied to the world! Your mother is alive and well. Not only that, but your mother is also a powerful Godfiend! Her name is… Bai Nianyun!”

“Bai Nianyun?” Meng Chuan was alarmed. “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Grand Yin Holy Maiden, Bai Nianyun?”

Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had five Grand Yin Holy Maidens. All five were Marquis Godfiends. They hoped to become Regis Godfiends. After all, whoever became a Regis Godfiend would control the mysterious Grand Yin Holy Hall.

“Yes, Grand Yin Holy Maiden,” said Meng Dajiang. “Your mother has been a Grand Yin Holy Maiden since she was young. Grand Yin Holy Maidens have to follow many rules. She was ambitious and hardworking. She became a Godfiend and even reached the Great Solar realm. Only when she became a Great Solar Godfiend did she have the right to descend the mountain and travel. After being restrained for 30 years, your mother wanted to break free from the restraints her family clan had placed on her and roam the world freely.

“Therefore, she secretly came to our Great Zhou Dynasty. Here, she ended up meeting me.” Meng Dajiang had a sweet and forlorn smile on his face. “When we first met, I had just finished my military service.”

Meng Chuan listened carefully.
