The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 213 You've Mistaken Me for Someone Else
Gu Yutong timidly asked, "Brother Chen Xiao, there's no door there?"
Just as Gu Yutong said, the direction Chen Xiao pointed was just a wall, with no door to walk through at all. Behind Chen Xiao, however, was a bronze door.
"That's right, isn't the door over here?"
Lin Zicong asked, pointing to the bronze door.
Chen Xiao shook his head. "That door isn't the exit. It's the entrance. Entering that door will be very dangerous."
At this moment, Gu Zhendong reacted and asked, "Chen Xiao, are we in the Eight Gates Formation?" (Ba Men Dunjia)
Chen Xiao nodded. "That's right. We're currently in the Sheng Gate (Gate of Life)."
Gu Zhendong understood and walked towards the direction Chen Xiao was pointing. "Let's go!"
"Ah? Dad, what are you doing?"
Under Gu Yutong's horrified gaze, Gu Zhendong walked directly towards the wall.
However, the scene of his father crashing into the wall that Gu Yutong had imagined did not occur. His father's body seemed to drill into the wall.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared completely.
And the wall was still the same wall as before.
So magical?!
Gu Yutong and Lin Zicong exchanged glances, both capturing the same expression in each other's eyes.
"I'll try it too!"
Lin Zicong said as he stepped forward.
Lin Zicong also passed through the wall without any obstruction.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yutong's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise.
At this time, Chen Xiao said with a smile, "What are you waiting for? They can all pass through, you'll be fine too!"
"Okay!"
Gu Yutong clenched her fist and nodded heavily, as if encouraging herself.
Then, she closed her eyes and walked in that direction.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao smiled. It seemed the little girl was still afraid!
Then, he picked up his mother and walked towards the wall, passing through it.
Chen Xiao didn't expect that what greeted him after coming out was the underground parking lot.
It seemed this was the entrance to the Sheng Gate (Gate of Life). Chen Xiao noted the location and decided that this area must be strictly guarded in the future.
Back upstairs in the villa, Gongsun Yi was lying on the sofa, fast asleep.
Logically speaking, a master like him wouldn't sleep so soundly, unaware of people approaching.
But this was the consequence of a pure mental attack.
Seeing Gongsun Yi, Lin Zicong thought a thief had broken into the house and rushed over to subdue him as quickly as possible.
Gongsun Yi, worthy of being among the top thirty on the Heaven Ranking, sensed the danger and immediately woke up.
Just as the two were about to fight, Chen Xiao suddenly shouted, "Stop! We're all on the same side!"
Then, Chen Xiao introduced them. "This is Gongsun Yi. These are Gu Zhendong, Lin Zicong, and Gu Yutong. Introduce yourselves."
Hearing the name Gongsun Yi, Lin Zicong was stunned. "Gongsun Yi? The Bajiquan (Eight Extremities Fist) master Gongsun Yi?"
Gongsun Yi smiled slightly. "That's me."
Lin Zicong's eyes lit up. "Idol, can I get your autograph?"
Lin Zicong was a bit like Gongsun Yi in this regard. He was also a martial arts fanatic, so he knew all the masters on the Heaven Ranking like the back of his hand.
Of course, he only knew their names. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to attack Gongsun Yi just now.
Seeing the two quickly becoming acquainted, Chen Xiao felt relieved.
In his plan, both Lin Zicong and Gongsun Yi were important parts of his security force.
In the future, this villa would not only be Chen Xiao's home but also the place he needed to protect the most.
Because there was a dragon vein underneath. Since Xuan Mingzi could discover it, perhaps others had already discovered it as well.
However, he didn't mention this to anyone else, keeping it as a secret.
Gu Zhendong was a shrewd man. He knew there must be something strange beneath the surface, after all, the Eight Gates Formation (Ba Men Dunjia) wasn't something an ordinary person could build.
But seeing that Chen Xiao didn't mention it to him, he didn't ask anything.
As soon as Chen Xiao returned to the villa, he devoted all his energy to his mother.
His mother remained unconscious, and he grew increasingly worried.
He tried every possible method, but there was no sign of her waking up.
He was certain that Xuan Mingzi was behind this, but Xuan Mingzi was dead, and there was no one to ask.
The night deepened, and Chen Xiao continued to watch over his mother.
He held her hand, staring at her without blinking.
Suddenly, his mother's eyelashes trembled, and Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
"Mom, Mom, are you awake?"
Chen Xiao gently shook his mother.
Then, Liu Zhen really opened her eyes.
Chen Xiao was overjoyed and choked with emotion. "Mom, you're finally awake."
However, Liu Zhen, who had woken up, looked blank, without fear, surprise, or even a hint of excitement.
She simply said, "Water, I'm thirsty..."
Chen Xiao quickly gave his mother some water. Liu Zhen took several large gulps, finally satisfied, and then said, "I'm hungry."
Chen Xiao personally cooked and brought the food to his mother.
Liu Zhen ate her fill and finally felt comfortable.
Although Chen Xiao felt that his mother was acting a little strange, he assumed that she was just overly frightened and would be fine after a good night's sleep.
"Mom, it's getting late, go to sleep."
Chen Xiao said softly, just like his mother used to coax him to sleep when he was a child.
But Liu Zhen looked at Chen Xiao blankly. "Who are you? Why are you calling me Mom?"
Chen Xiao was stunned. "Mom, it's me, Chen Xiao!"
"Chen Xiao?"
Liu Zhen repeated the name, her face even more blank. Then she shook her head. "I don't know any Chen Xiao, and I'm not your mom. Young man, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?"
Chen Xiao was anxious. "Mom, what's wrong with you? I'm Chen Xiao, I'm your son! How can you not even remember me!"
Seeing Chen Xiao's emotional state, Liu Zhen was a little scared and shrank into the blanket, only showing her eyes.
"Young man, you really have the wrong person. I've never had children, so how could I have a child? It's getting late, you should go home quickly, or your mom will worry.
And I should go to sleep, can you please leave?"
Liu Zhen said almost pleadingly.
Chen Xiao stood there in a daze, while Liu Zhen pretended to be asleep and even deliberately made snoring sounds.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing his mother like this, Chen Xiao had no choice but to leave first and let her sleep, to see what would happen tomorrow morning.
The next day, Liu Zhen slept until late in the morning before getting up to eat.
And she didn't recognize anyone in front of her.
Until Chen Xiao asked her, "Then do you remember who you are?"
Liu Zhen suddenly paused. She thought for a long time and finally shook her head.
She didn't even remember who she was.
