Chapter 759: Chapter 231: Giving Up _1 Chapter 759: Chapter 231: Giving Up _1 “Monk Lin?”

Hearing Immortal Jingxu’s address, Miss Jiang was suddenly startled.

Could her previous feeling have been right? Standing under the apricot tree was in fact her son?

“Immortal, what do you mean?”

Miss Jiang clenched her sleeves tightly with both hands, her voice trembling, full of anticipation.

“Miss Jiang will know soon.”

Immortal Jingxu reassured her and then said no more.

Upon hearing Immortal Jingxu’s call, Link calmly entered the meditation room.

The changing appearances within Sanqing Hall were all deliberately done by him.

The Daoist Zhike, overwhelmed by the pressure, dared not speak and went to invite Immortal Jingxu. This too was Link’s handiwork.

After talking a few words with Immortal Jingxu, confirming that he only cultivates his mind and not the Martial Way, Link subtly influenced Immortal Jingxu’s thoughts.

Thus, without hurting the bodies and cognition of the two taoists, Link got an appropriate opportunity to make his entrance.

“Thank you, Immortal.”

Link stood before the low table, first thanked Immortal Jingxu, and then looked at his anxious single mother who was desperately trying to control her emotions.

Without any hesitation, Link removed his disguise and revealed his true appearance.

“My son!”

The single mother immediately shouted emotionally, lifted her hand in an attempt to touch Link’s face but stopped abruptly.

For the past ten years, she knew that Link was in Octagon Martial Arts School in Fuli County.

Yet, bound by family and the pressure from the Zhong Family, she couldn’t step outside the county city, let alone leave Tianshui County to search for her son.

But, whether intentional or not, abandoning her son was the reality.

Jiang Yuer was deeply guilty!

“Mother, how have you been all these years?”

Link was not that emotional, nor was he too cold.

Human emotions are peculiar, sometimes they are related to memories, sometimes not.

At this moment, as Link faced his mother Jiang Yuer in this life, his emotions were incredibly complex and strange.

The rather loose mystery of inside the womb for Link was in fact an incomplete rebirth experience.

For his single mother Jiang Yuer, he felt more sympathy and pity, but actually not much of the thick blood relation between mother and son.

After all, when he was born in this life, he was already somewhat wise.

Before the age of seven, his wisdom had completely restored.

In terms of mentality, he actually looked more like a mature adult compared to Jiang Yuer back then.

Only out of sympathy, pity, and the instinct he had since birth, Link has always acknowledged that he is the son of Jiang Yuer in this life.

Link fully admits the mother-son relationship between him and Jiang Yuer, and of course, there is no need to avoid it in terms of address.

“Yes, I’ve been fine. What about you, my son?”

Although Jiang Yuer had learned about some of Link’s exploits through some channels of the Jiang’s Clan, seeing her grown-up son with her own eyes, she still wanted to hear Link say “I’m fine” in person.

Perhaps, this is what being a mother is like.

“Mother, I’ve been very well.”

Link nodded his head, his reply brought comfort but also guilt to Jiang Yuer.

It could be said that countless emotions welled up in her heart.

After a few simple conversations, Jiang Yuer suddenly didn’t know what else to say.

Link also didn’t say anything more, just quietly standing there.

Having acknowledged Jiang Yuer, he could clearly perceive that, as if from the unseen depths, a thread binding him has been completely severed.

This was a sensation that he had never experienced in the previous seventeen years.

Link slightly frowned, and with a flicker of thought, he grasped this sensation and traced it back to its source.

A moment later, Link indeed found the root, his consciousness entering a rather unusual state.

His “two eyes” seemed to “see” two different scenes.

The “left eye” saw a person entangled with threads and chains, the “right eye” saw a door with a large lock.

Having “seen” the two scenes, Link had an epiphany.

Severing all the threads and chains entangling his body would allow him to cut ties with this world and leave without regret;
Breaking the lock on the door would completely unlock the Sea of Consciousness, restoring his wizard realm and strength.

Upon closer scrutiny, there were five threads and one chain.

The thread severed just now represented the maternal line between Link and Jiang Yuer.

So…

“Son, you should go. I’m very happy to see you one more time, but you can’t stay here for long.”

Regaining her rationality from the emotional mother-son reunion, Jiang Yuer suddenly realized a severe consequence, “If the Jiang’s and Zhong families find out your whereabouts, they may come to attack you. You must leave quickly!”

“Why?”

Link returned to his senses, questioning with doubt.

For ten years he was in Octagon Martial Arts School, never hiding his identity.

The Jiang’s and Zhong families of Tianshui County, as large clans with high-end cultivation of Human Immortal Martial Path, surely knew about Link’s identity and whereabouts.

They hadn’t made a move in the past ten years, and now on the surface, Link was already a martial artist at the peak of the Condensation Truth Realm, and he had displayed strength surpassing the Normalization Realm multiple times in the provincial city.

If the Jiang’s and Zhong families had always wanted to deal with Link, why would they choose this time?

There must have been something happening that Link had yet to discover.

Jiang Yuer explained anxiously:
“Three days ago, rumors about ‘Death Valley’ suddenly spread in the martial arts world.

After verification from historical records, it was confirmed that there indeed exist longevity extending fruits in ‘Death Valley’.

The entire martial arts world, including the Imperial Court, moved upon hearing this news, all planning to enter ‘Death Valley’ and pick peaches.

The Jiang’s and Zhong families are no exception.

If they find out that you’re away from your master’s protection and have appeared here alone, they’ll surely try to capture you and then force Lin Nantian to enter the valley to pick peaches!”
