In the end, Cheng Yu could only ignore Li Tianyan’s existence as much as possible. “I heard Chi Zhuo is dead, is it true?”

The reason he hadn’t rushed to find Cheng Qi two days ago was that he wanted to first understand the current situation in the Southern Region but he heard the news of Chi Zhuo’s death. At that time, his first reaction was Chi Zhuo was up to some conspiracy. After repeated confirmations, he finally believed it.

“Well, it’s true. The young master and I saw it with our own eyes,” Cheng Qi nodded and affirmed. Li Tianyan was the one who killed the person with his own hands.

Cheng Yu felt a little dazed after hearing this. He really couldn’t believe the guy who felt like a nightmare to him had died.

Then he thought about something and asked Cheng Qi, “You can actually practice cultivation, do you know that you are different from other people?”

Cheng Qi blinked, and this time he understood what Cheng Yu meant. “I know. The young master told me a long time ago, but now that the problem has been solved, there will be no issue in cultivation.”

“Really?” Cheng Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. Li Tianyan actually knew it and had told Xiao Qi. It seemed that it was him, who thought too much.

Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Qi for a while and then asked, “How have you been these years? Have the Cheng family treated you well?”

“I married the young master when I was thirteen, and I have been living a good life,” Cheng Qi smiled with satisfaction. As for the Cheng family, that was all in the past.

Li Tianyan sat aside and made himself a cup of tea, then asked in a cold voice, “You seem to know a lot. How did the Cheng family and your parents know that Chi Zhuo was treacherous? How did they send Cheng Qi to the mortal world?”

After reading Chi Zhuo’s memory, Li Tianyan was a little puzzled. The couple obviously agreed happily before, but they suddenly changed their plans. Since Cheng Yu knew that Cheng Qi’s physique was different, he must also have known some reasons.

Cheng Qi also stared at Cheng Yu. Although they had learned some information from Chi Zhuo, they knew nothing about the Cheng family.

Hearing Li Tianyan ask this question, Cheng Yu was sure that Cheng Qi knew about his life experience, and he wouldn’t hide it from the younger shuanger. “No one may believe this matter. It all started because of a dream mother had.”

“What dream?” Cheng Qi asked blankly.

“Our father is the third child in the family and has no spiritual roots. He was always ignored by the Cheng family. It was not until Chi Zhuo appeared that the Cheng family’s attitude toward father improved. But two months later, my mother suddenly had a dream. She dreamed that she gave birth to twins early, and one of them had a black birthmark on his face,” Cheng Yu paused after saying this. People in the southern region thought Cheng Qi was ugly because of that birthmark.

“Then what?” Cheng Qi urged him to continue. “After giving birth to twins, what happened next?”

“On the second day after giving birth, Chi Zhuo came to Cheng Mansion and wanted to pick up the two babies. Mother felt the children were too young and was reluctant to let them go. However, because the Cheng family was eager to please Chi Zhuo, they ignored her and sent the twins away against her will. And that was the beginning of a nightmare.”

“In that dream, my mother saw the baby with a birthmark on his face, soaked in the medicine vat since being taken away by Chi Zhuo. Growing up, he had never lived like a normal person for a day. He also overheard Chi Zhuo talking to himself about the baby in the medicine vat, he realized the baby had a special constitution, and Chi Zhuo wanted to use him to break through the foundation and successfully formed the core.”

“Later, the Cheng family suffered accidents one after another. Both father and mother wanted to go to Tianfan Immortal Sect to see their children, but were killed after leaving the city. The Cheng family was almost destroyed, except for the remaining two sons who recognized the thief as their father and were trained by Chi Zhuo.”

Cheng Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock upon hearing this.

Cheng Yu smiled faintly at him and said, “Because the dream was so real. When mother woke up, she immediately told father everything. Father didn’t take it seriously; he just thought mother was overthinking and had a nightmare.”

If it hadn’t been for those experiences, Cheng Yu would have also felt that believing in a dream was absurd.

Li Tianyan’s hand, holding the tea cup, paused. Prophetic dream? Even if a mortal really dreams about what would happen in the future, it would only be a vague image at most, impossible to be so clear. The woman’s precognitive dream caught Li Tianyan’s attention.

Cheng Yu didn’t know what Li Tianyan was thinking, so he continued, “That night, mother really gave birth prematurely, to twins set exactly like those in the dream. Mother was weak after giving birth but kept crying. Then father panicked, he suddenly remembered there was a branch in the mortal world, he decided to leave the child with the birthmark there first. If what happens next is different from the dream, he would go to the mortal world to pick up the child.”

“But to reach the boundary of the mortal world, one cannot pass without a cultivator. Father was only a warrior, and there were no cultivators around him. The other cultivators in the Cheng family had always looked down on father. Besides, it was just based on a dream; he didn’t know how to explain it to others. So, he could only ask his friend, a casual cultivator who he had once saved.”

“The friend agreed, knowing that father never asked anything from him, he took Xiao Qi to the Cheng family in the mortal world. Later, the news about Haoyue Immortal Sect recruiting people with single spiritual root was spread. So, we managed to escape from Chi Zhuo. However, on our way to the Central Region, we were attacked by evil cultivators. Many people died at that time.”
