My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 302 Conflict
Looking at the woman's figure before him,
Shen Changchuan also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and apprehension).

Although the time travel happened several years ago.

However, the memories from before the time travel to his teens also exist deep in his mind.

Nurturing in childhood, and caring for adolescence.
The woman's shadow
It can be vaguely seen in the memories of those old times.

perhaps,

His time travel was not a complete possession-style time travel.

Rather, it is about traversing and merging.

It merged with the soul of the original Shen Changchuan.

It's just that the subject is the self before the time travel.

Also because of this,

He felt no embarrassment at calling the woman in front of him "mother".

Or perhaps there's a sense of alienation in calling a stranger "mother."

Because he still retains a part of Shen Changchuan from the past.

For Shen Changchuan,

The woman in front of them, Han Yue'er, was not a complete stranger.

A few unresolved issues,
These issues have long been resolved over the years.

just,

Haven't seen each other for many years

It's just that I'm still a bit unfamiliar with it.

"Let your mother see how hard you've worked these past few days, haven't you?"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Han Yue'er reached out and wiped away the tears in her eyes.
Between the eyebrows

A few wrinkles are already faintly visible.

Shen Changchuan suddenly felt a little dazed.

Mother,

They're getting quite old.

Remembering her from back then,

it's not like that.

When she was young, she didn't have a good life in the Shen family compound. Her clothes were not as luxurious as they are now. In fact, to avoid some trouble, she had to dress herself up in a less attractive way.

But Shen Changchuan still vaguely remembered that lively, youthful face.
now,

Even the most luxurious clothes cannot conceal the marks of time.
Although thanks to his existence,
My mother also successfully awakened her spiritual power and became a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm.

But those magical powers couldn't support her pursuit of higher immortality, nor could they prolong her lifespan.

At most, it's just a matter of nourishing the body.
It just made my body feel a little better.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not tired at all."

"Back in Dawan Village, with my grandfather's help, I didn't have to worry about anything. I could just cultivate or wander around. It might be a bit chaotic outside, but with the Shen family as our backing, no one dared to do anything to Dawan Village."

"I've met the Ancestor, and he took great care of me. Later, when I joined the Dragon Sky Sect, my master saw my extraordinary talent and accepted me as a disciple. When I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he also gave me a lot of resources. The senior brothers and sisters in the sect also took good care of me."

Shen Changchuan said in a clear voice.

She also shared her general experiences over this period with her mother, Han Yue'er.

Han Yue'er looked at Shen Changchuan with kind eyes, listened patiently, and smiled.

Time passes slowly,
The atmosphere in the air became more gentle.

"Good, good, good! As expected of my son, he's amazing!"

Han Yue'er's face was full of relief, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch Shen Changchuan's cheek.

"And you, Mother, how have you been doing at home all these years?"

"Of course."

"You have no idea, because of your existence, no one in the Shen family compound dares to mess with your mother now."

“Before, not many people gave me a kind look, but as your reputation spread, no one dared to criticize you anymore.” “Not long ago, I heard that you had advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, and some of the petty people who had previously made things difficult for my son and me came to our door with gifts, begging for forgiveness.”

"Right now, I'm surrounded by smiling faces."

Han Yue'er couldn't help but chat with Shen Changchuan for quite a while.

Shen Changchuan spent the whole day with Han Yue'er at the manor.

en route,

Han Yue'er even personally cooked a big meal for Shen Changchuan.

It tastes just like it did when I was a child.

This caused a slight ripple in Shen Changchuan's heart.

He remembered,
My mother tirelessly prepared all my meals during my childhood, and this continued for over a decade.

He had never eaten the meals provided by the servants in his family.

As a child, Shen Changchuan never understood this point and never paid attention to it.

He now,

I roughly understand now.

This is a mother's love for her son.
It's also to protect her son.

Within the closed and oppressive Shen family compound, the number of infants who died young was not small.
I don't know if it's a remnant of memory,

Staying inside the manor,

This gave Shen Changchuan a sense of reassurance.

However, the patriarch summoned him.

I have important business to attend to.
Shen Changchuan couldn't stay here any longer.

So Shen Changchuan informed his mother and prepared to leave first to pay his respects to the ancestor.

"Wait a moment."

"What's the matter, mother?"

Han Yue'er's expression showed a hint of hesitation and uncertainty.

However, after looking around and making sure no one was around, she...
He still looked intently at Shen Changchuan and whispered a reminder:
"Be careful when you go to meet your father; be extra cautious."

"What do you mean by that, Mother?"

Han Yue'er's words,

This surprised Shen Changchuan.

These words,
This was completely beyond his expectations!
Beware of Shen Fuxing?
Why is this?

Although he didn't have much affection for his adoptive father,
But it wouldn't be to the point of saying they have a grudge, would it?

"Mother, do you know something?"

Although I don't understand.

However, Shen Changchuan did not rush to refute, but instead asked to find out the specific situation.

What surprised Shen Changchuan even more was that

Mother Han Yue'er shook her head.

"I don't know the specifics either. I only know that about a year ago, shortly after you revealed your true strength outside and your reputation spread, your name suddenly became the talk of the town within the Shen family compound, causing internal discussion and drawing the attention of the First Madam."

Han Yue'er's expression was solemn.

There was also a hint of gloom between his brows.

"Actually, I hadn't noticed this before. It's just that the wave of discussion started a bit too fast and was too intense. This was unusual and made me realize something was amiss."

"Within the Shen family compound, the First Madam holds the power of life and death over almost all the servants in the entire mansion. And because of Shen Chong's matter, illegitimate sons are practically taboo in front of the First Madam. The better you, as an illegitimate son, perform, the more resentful and venomous the First Madam will become, and she might even take her anger out on someone on the spot. Those servants dare to risk their lives to gossip; if there's nothing strange about it, how could it be?!"

"At first I thought it was the Second Madam pushing you out from behind the scenes to annoy the First Madam. But later I realized something was wrong."

"The second wife doesn't have that much power, and besides, some things don't add up."

"Later, I investigated secretly and discovered some clues."
