Chapter 215: Restarting the Journey
Chapter 215: Restarting the Journey
Gao Xingchen held his breath, quietly opened the window, and flashed out of the room like a ghost, following closely behind the black shadow. The black shadow was completely unaware of all this, and he lightly climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
Gao Xingchen chased after him and came to a remote forest in the backyard of Gao's house. The black shadow stopped under a towering tree, as if waiting for something.
"Whoosh!"
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a black shadow flew from a distance and landed steadily beside the black shadow. With the weak moonlight, Gao Xingchen saw the face of the person who came, and it was the head of the Nan family - Nan Tianhe.
"How is it? Did you get the things?" Nan Tianhe asked in a low voice.
"It's all here." The black shadow took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Nan Tianhe.
Nan Tianhe opened the cloth bag, which contained some ancient books and jade slips, emitting a faint spiritual fluctuation. He carefully examined them and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Very good, with these things, we can find that place." Nan Tianhe whispered, "Then, the entire star field will be ours!"
"The head of the family is wise!" complimented the black shadow.
Gao Xingchen, who was hiding in the dark, was filled with turmoil. He never expected that the Nan family would collude with that mysterious person, and it seemed that their goal was more than that. Controlling the entire star field, what kind of ambition was this?
What makes Gao Xingchen even more uneasy is, what exactly is the "that place" mentioned by Nan Tianhe? Could it be that there is someone else behind all this?
Gao Xingchen did not act rashly. He decided to continue observing to see what they were plotting.
Nan Tianhe put away the cloth bag and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. You must be careful and do not let the news leak out."
"Don't worry, master. I understand." The black shadow nodded in response.
"Okay, you can go down." Nan Tianhe waved his hand, and the black shadow took the order and left, soon disappearing into the night.
Nan Tianhe stood alone in the woods, looking up at the starry sky, with greed flashing in his eyes.
"Lord of the Star Domain, this position will be mine sooner or later!"
Gao Xingchen hid in the dark, watching all of this, his heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He realized that he and Nan Li were involved in a huge vortex, and this was just the beginning.
In order to find out the truth and to protect the peace of the star field, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to join forces to face the coming storm together.
After returning to the room, Gao Xingchen told Nanli everything he had seen. After hearing this, Nanli frowned and fell into deep thought.
"It seems that we are all involved in a huge conspiracy." Nan Li said in a deep voice, "The mastermind behind this is very well hidden, and his strength is unfathomable. We must be careful and cautious, and take every step carefully."
"That's right." Gao Xingchen nodded. "We are weak now. If we want to fight against them, we must unite all the forces we can."
"What you mean is..." Nanli looked at Gao Xingchen and seemed to understand his thoughts.
"We have to build our own power!" Gao Xingchen said firmly, "Only in this way can we stand firm in the future storms and have a chance to find out the truth and bring the mastermind to justice!"
Nanli nodded in agreement. She knew that this would be a road full of thorns and challenges, but in order to protect the peace of the star field and for their common ideals, they would not hesitate!
The next day, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li found the patriarchs of their respective families and told them everything they knew and their plans and ideas. To their relief, both the Gao and Nan families believed in their words and expressed their full support for their actions.
In this way, Gao Xingchen and Nanli used thundering means to quickly integrate the resources and manpower of the two families, began to recruit troops and talents, and prepared for the upcoming decisive battle.
What they don't know is that their actions have already fallen into the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes...
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's plan received strong support from the two major families. They recruited a group of elite soldiers at an astonishing speed, including talented young talents and experienced and mature people. In order to conceal their tracks and to hone their team, they decided to leave their families and embark on a journey to travel the star field.
Along the way, they overcame numerous challenges and tests. They once went deep into the dangerous wilderness and fought against ferocious monsters; they also sneaked into the heavily guarded underground city and dealt with the cunning evil forces. Every battle made their team more united and the strength of each member was greatly improved.
During this journey, they also met many like-minded friends. Some were chivalrous and brave heroes, some were skilled craftsmen who were proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and some were geniuses from secluded sects. These people were attracted by Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's ideals and personal charm, and joined their team one after another to contribute their own strength to their goals.
As the team grew, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's reputations grew day by day. They were like a rising star, illuminating the entire star field and attracting more and more people's attention, including those enemies hiding in the dark.
Just as they were preparing to head to the base of the mysterious organization to launch a general attack, a sudden piece of news broke their peaceful life.
On this day, the team rested in a beautiful valley. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li sat side by side on a boulder, looking at the mountains in the distance and discussing the next action plan.
"Xingchen, according to the intelligence we have so far, the headquarters of the mysterious organization should be deep in the Sunset Forest." Nanli pointed to a mark on the map and said, "The terrain there is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. We must make a careful plan."
Gao Xingchen nodded and was about to speak when suddenly, a guard ran over in a hurry, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Young Master, Miss Nanli, there is urgent news from the family!"
"What news?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li asked in unison, feeling a little uneasy.
Chi Wei took out a jade slip from his bosom, handed it to Gao Xingchen, and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the head of the Gao family. Please take a look, young master."
Gao Xingchen took the jade slip and input spiritual power into it. A piece of information flooded into his mind. After reading the content of the information, his face suddenly became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Nan Li saw Gao Xingchen's strange expression and asked hurriedly.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, handed the jade slip to Nan Li, and said in a deep voice: "Read it yourself."
Nan Li took the jade slip and read it carefully. After a moment, her expression became equally solemn.
"How could this happen?" Nan Li murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
It turns out that the head of the Gao family told Gao Xingchen in the letter that after much investigation, they found that Gao Xingchen was not of the Gao family, but an abandoned baby who was abandoned at the door of the Gao family more than 20 years ago. His true identity is likely related to a mysterious ancient family that once ruled the star field, but later disappeared due to a sudden change, leaving only various legends circulating in the world.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Gao Xingchen. He had always considered himself a member of the Gao family and fought for the family's honor, but he never expected that he actually had no blood relationship with the Gao family.
What makes him even more uneasy is that his true identity involves an ancient and mysterious family, which makes him confused and bewildered about his life.
"Xingchen, don't worry. I believe that no matter what your background is, it will not affect our relationship." Nan Li held Gao Xingchen's hand and comforted him softly, "We will definitely find out the truth and find your biological parents."
Gao Xingchen nodded, his eyes gradually becoming firm. He knew that now was not the time to be sad and confused, he had more important things to do.
"Li'er, you are right. I cannot be defeated by the predicament in front of me." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said, "I must cheer up and find out the mystery of my life experience and find out what secrets are hidden behind all this."
Nan Li nodded and said, "Well, let's face it together."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to put their plans on hold and return to Gao's home to investigate the mystery of Gao Xingchen's life. This will be another test for them, but no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, they firmly believe that as long as they work together, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
However, what is the mystery of Gao Xingchen's life? How will it affect their future? All of this is still unknown...
Gao Xingchen tightly grasped the jade slip in his hand, his knuckles turned white, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He had never thought that the identity he had always believed in would be empty. Over the past twenty years, were the memories of the Gao family just a mirage?
Nan Li noticed Gao Xingchen's strangeness and gently held his hand, her eyes gentle but firm: "Xingchen, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and said to the guard who came to deliver the letter: "I understand, you go back and report, and tell him that we will be back to the family soon."
Chi Wei took the order and left, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also began to arrange matters for the team to return to the family. Along the way, the two were silent, each with their own thoughts.
When they returned to the Gao family, the head of the Gao family had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, he had a complicated look on his face and hesitated to speak.
"Chief, I want to know the truth." Gao Xingchen went straight to the point, with a hint of suppressed urgency in his tone.
The head of the Gao family sighed and told the story of Gao Xingchen. One night more than 20 years ago, when the head of the Gao family was out, he found an abandoned baby on the roadside. That baby was Gao Xingchen. At that time, Gao Xingchen only had a jade pendant engraved with the word "Xingchen" on him. Apart from that, there was no other clue to prove his identity.
"Over the years, I have sent people to secretly investigate your life experience, but I have never found anything." The head of the Gao family said, "Until a few days ago, I received news that a mysterious organization was also investigating your whereabouts and had obtained key information about your life experience."
Gao Xingchen was shocked. Could it be that his life experience was related to that mysterious organization?
At the same time, Nan Li also returned to the Nan family and asked the head of the Nan family about the history of her family. The head of the Nan family told her that the Nan family had guarded a treasure for generations, and it was said that the treasure was related to the realization of an ancient prophecy. And Nan Li's parents disappeared many years ago just to protect this treasure.
"Li'er, your parents' disappearance is very likely related to Xingchen's life experience." The head of the Nan family said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the target of that mysterious organization is not only Xingchen, but also the secrets guarded by our two families."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li got clues from their respective families, but unexpectedly discovered that their fates were intertwined. They realized that in order to solve the mystery of their life experience, they must join forces to fight against the powerful enemy hidden in the dark.
A new journey is about to begin. This time, they will not only face powerful enemies, but also face an unknown fate. What is the mystery of Gao Xingchen's life experience? How will it affect their future?
