At this moment, Wei Yanwu saw a brilliant smile on the child's face. He raised his little hand towards him and shouted happily:
"Uncle, teach, Jiejie, Jianjian! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Uncle is here! Yes! I'm your uncle! I'm your uncle! Hahaha!! Wenyue! Wenyue! Did you hear that! He called me uncle! He learned to do that by himself! Ouch..."
Wei Yanwu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He rubbed Chen Huijie's little face with his beard and lifted the child up, gently shaking him and teasing him:
"Huijie, who am I?"
"uncle!"
"Yes, I am your uncle, hahahaha!!!" Although it was just an extremely simple title - "uncle", but when these two words came from the mouth of his nephew with a tender and intimate tone, Wei Yanwu felt an unprecedented comfort surging from the bottom of his heart.
In this busy world full of power struggles, Wei Yanwu, as the leader of a faction, has to face complex situations and decisions every day. His mind is often pulled by a taut string and he rarely relaxes.
However, at such a seemingly ordinary moment, when he heard his nephew's childish and dependent voice, gently calling out the word "uncle", all the hardness and coldness were instantly replaced by softness.
The child's voice was pure and flawless, like the warm sunshine of early spring, penetrating the severe cold of winter and reaching the softest part of Wei Yanwu's heart.
At this moment, he returned to the most basic and happiest identity - a relative who was deeply loved by his family. This feeling of comfort was far better than any panacea in the world. It seemed to be able to instantly melt away all fatigue and worries, allowing him to truly experience the warmth and happiness of being connected by blood.
Moreover, unlike Tallulah, Huijie had no one to teach him. This was his first sentence since he came into this world, and he shouted it out by himself. Such a unique and heartwarming testimony of family affection made Wei Yanwu's face burst into a smile involuntarily. It was a kind of joy that came from the heart, which was difficult to suppress, as if every cell in his body was singing.
But at this moment, there was suddenly a flash of light, as if something was reflected from a mirror and swept over, causing Wei Yanwu to squint his eyes. Then when he opened his eyes again, the little figure was no longer in his raised hands.
Where is my child!
Wei Yanwu was startled and quickly looked down at his side, wanting to ask Wen Yue where the child had gone, but at this moment, he found that the courtyard was empty. With the subtle change in the atmosphere, even the sky seemed to be infected with some kind of emotion, gradually fading its brilliance and becoming gloomy and heavy.
At first, the raindrops only touched the earth sporadically and gently, like the soft sighs of the sky. However, soon after, these tiny murmurs gathered into a surging melody, and in an instant turned into a downpour, violently washing away everything in the world.
Wei Yanwu no longer cared about the rainstorm. He suddenly felt that something in his heart became empty and void, as if an invisible hand had quietly plucked a piece away, leaving behind an unfillable void.
This empty feeling was as if a part of his soul had been pulled out, leaving him confused and melancholy, and at a loss as to what to do in the face of the sudden sense of loss deep in his heart.
Wei Yanwu panicked and rushed around the Governor's Mansion, searching for the missing piece, but...
"Bai Xue, where's Wen Yue? No, where's Hui Jie?!"
Wei Yanwu saw the familiar figure and called out quickly, but the loyal ninja attendant was stunned and asked back:
"Yeah, where's Huijie?"
“I’m asking you!!!”
Hearing this, Wei Yanwu's heart was instantly overwhelmed by boundless rage, and he couldn't help but burst into an angry roar, but Wei Yanwu himself didn't understand why he was so angry, as if he was avoiding something.
However, when his gaze fell, where Bai Xue should have been standing, was Wen Yue. Her eyes were hollow and lifeless, as if they had lost their former brilliance. In an almost dreamlike whisper, she slowly asked Wei Yanwu:
"Husband, where is Huijie?"
"I……"
This scene, like a sudden dream, instantly froze the rage that was about to burst forth. Wei Yanwu took a step back in a daze, but felt as if he had bumped into something. Looking back, he saw the familiar face of an elder. The old man in gorgeous clothes stared at him with murderous intent, growling through gritted teeth:
"Where's Huijie!"
"I……"
Wei Yanwu felt as if he was falling into an icy cave. He looked around anxiously and helplessly. Familiar faces appeared and approached, but in the end, these figures gathered together and became a familiar figure.
The emaciated figure of the True Dragon, sitting slumped in silence, slowly raised its head amidst the thunder and rain, its bloodshot eyes fixed on itself. 'It' didn't speak, but 'it' was constantly asking itself—
Where is the child? Where is the child? Why can’t I find the child?
This omnipresent and pervasive questioning made Wei Yanwu's mind very confused. At this moment, he felt a strange feeling coming from his tail. Wei Yanwu was stunned at first, then he thought of something and was overjoyed. He quickly looked back, but saw only a familiar baby's clothes on his tail. The baby's clothes seemed to have a mouth and asked:
'Uncle, where have I been?'
what! ! ! !
Suffocating despair instantly engulfed Wei Yanwu. Like a drowning man, he struggled in this gloomy sea, waving his arms futilely in the air, sinking deeper and deeper. All he could feel was the cold, liquid loneliness around him, sinking into endless panic and confusion...
But at this moment, Wei Yanwu suddenly felt a surge of warmth, as if a life-saving straw that didn't exist had grabbed hold of him.
"Governor Wei, wake up, you are having a nightmare."
Chapter 102 My uncle came to see me.
'Huh? Am I dreaming?'
Hearing this familiar voice, Wei Yanwu, who was deeply trapped in despair and suffocation, suddenly woke up, and everything that was entangled with him suddenly disappeared.
Then, Wei Yanwu just opened his eyes and saw that his vision was occupied by golden light. But this light was not important. Wei Yanwu saw the sword finger pointing at his brow through the golden light. Following the sword finger, he saw the young man with blue and red eyes. The young man was smiling helplessly and said softly:
"Governor Wei, your dream was terrifying...huh?!"
Wei Yanwu didn't hear a word Chen Huijie said. The moment he saw the boy's face clearly, he inexplicably thought of the wobbly little dragon man and the little nephew who was giggling as he pounced on his tail.
So, almost as an instinctive reaction, Wei Yanwu suddenly took action, trying to catch the young man in front of him and prevent him from disappearing suddenly again.
Looking at Wei Yanwu's actions and listening to the sound of tearing the wind, Chen Huijie quickly withdrew. Given Governor Wei's ability, if he dared to resist with his body, he would break his bones in front of him.
Everyone can see how good Chen Huijie's Qinggong is. If the atmosphere wasn't wrong, the black-cloaked shadow guards standing outside the room would have applauded him anyway. But now they can't do that. Although they don't know what's wrong with Lord Wei, it's obvious that he's not in his right mind. In that case, they have to act according to Mr. Chen's instructions!
"Duke Wei! I'm sorry!" ×5.
"slow!"
However, just when the black-capped shadow guards were about to step forward and hold Wei Yanwu down to facilitate the continuation of "diagnosis and treatment", Chen Huijie suddenly raised his hand to stop their actions. Although the black-capped shadow guards did not understand why, based on the current performance of Mr. Chen, he was still quite reliable. Therefore, the black-capped shadow guards immediately stopped their actions.
On the other hand, Chen Huijie suddenly changed his plan because he noticed Wei Yanwu's current state of mind. He was not going to attack him. Although he didn't know what had happened to Governor Wei, he seemed to be grasping at a "life-saving straw", and that straw seemed to be himself.
If this is the case, perhaps things can be handled much easier. After all, Governor Wei is also a master, and at this moment he is a mad master. If his actions are forcibly restrained, even the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards will inevitably be damaged, so you can give it a try.
Chen Huijie circulated his true energy and took the initiative to meet Wei Yanwu. He pushed with one hand, letting Wei Yanwu be as strong as he could. Then he rubbed his arm with his backhand. The bright moon shone on the river. Under Chen Huijie's guidance, the originally ferocious and sharp dragon claws lightly clasped his arm.
But Wei Yanwu was still very strong. Chen Huijie's internal energy surged, resisting the terrible grip on his arm to avoid breaking his bones. However, Chen Huijie also found that after grabbing him, Governor Wei's mood had obviously calmed down a lot.
Is this really a nightmare?
Chen Huijie was puzzled. Although he had said that he had a nightmare before, looking at the study, it had been torn to pieces by Governor Wei's sword energy, and the sword energy was filled with murderous intent. These were all things that Governor Wei had done unconsciously in his 'sleep'. Chen Huijie found it hard to believe that this was caused by a nightmare.
...Let me try.
Looking at Wei Yanwu who seemed to be still in a daze, Chen Huijie put his other hand together and turned it, and talisman patterns appeared in his palm.
The talisman drawn this time was made based on the [Item: Spirit Leap Rune]. At that time, Chen Huijie felt that this rune had some connection with spiritual communication. Now that Governor Wei was frightened and his guard was down, perhaps this new talisman could be used to help Governor Wei share some of his negative emotions.
Thinking of this, Chen Huijie slowly placed his hand on the back of Wei Yanwu's hand. As a faint golden light lit up, sadness and helplessness like a tide rushed into Chen Huijie's heart, which made Chen Huijie open his eyes and look at the Governor of Longmen in front of him.
With such grief, it's no wonder he was so distracted. But where did this grief come from... Forget it, let's wait for Governor Wei to wake up first.
Although this sorrow and grief was like surging waves, Chen Huijie's heart remained as calm as a mirror, and even the raging waves could not stir up any ripples. Chen Huijie lowered his eyes and looked inward. After experiencing the tribulation of the evil demon, ordinary mental methods could no longer shake him...
"Huijie, Huijie..."
!!!
However, at this moment, a familiar call came into Chen Huijie's heart, which made the young man open his eyes suddenly. On the surface of the heart lake, a hunched figure was silently reflected. Although the figure's appearance could not be seen clearly, it was enough to make Chen Huijie's heart tremble and his heart lake ripples.
Who could this be? Who else could this be? Who else could this be but my uncle Wei Yanwu?
Despite the chasm of time and space, the severance of blood ties, how could one easily let go of that deep attachment and care? Chen Huijie had never dreamed that such a dramatic "reunion" would happen to him. For a moment, he felt as if he were frozen in time and space. He stood there in shock, a mixture of emotions, unsure how to respond to this sudden encounter.
"Child...where are you...uncle misses you..."
'Here I am, here I am!'
Hearing the heartbreaking call, Chen Huijie hurriedly called out in his mind, but after responding several times, Chen Huijie stopped "making a sound." He realized that the call was like an echo. The sound was still reverberating, but the original body had already gone elsewhere, and his response was destined to be unable to reach it. Therefore, it would be better to be quiet and listen carefully to his uncle's voice...
"Cough cough cough cough!!!"
At this moment, Wei Yanwu suddenly coughed rapidly. Hearing this cough, the surrounding black-cloaked shadow guards anxiously called out "Duke Wei". Under such interference, the talisman, which had just been formed, could no longer continue to play its role. Chen Huijie silently dispersed the talisman's spiritual energy, gently pushed Wei Yanwu back to his rocking chair, and said softly:
"Don't worry, everyone. It's just the unstable internal energy caused by the damage to his mind. Let Governor Wei take a break. He will wake up soon, and there will be no worries after he wakes up. I'll go to the next room to rest first."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your help."
The black-capped shadow guard quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude. If it weren't for the young gentleman's help today, this sudden accident might not have been resolved so safely.
But... why does it seem that Mr. Chen looks even more haggard than Lord Wei? Could it be that the method just now also hurt his mind?
"Um--"
However, just as Chen Huijie was about to leave, Wei Yanwu in the rocking chair let out a muffled groan, apparently waking up. The black-clothed shadow guards immediately surrounded him in surprise and carefully helped Wei Yanwu up. Chen Huijie glanced at the real dragon, silently raised his head, and watched the floating clouds in the sky with an expressionless face.
"You all... go out first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Chen... Young Master."
After briefly understanding what was going on, Wei Yanwu looked deeply at the blue-haired boy in front of him and said softly:
"Please keep an eye on your surroundings. The conversation between Mr. Chen and I is known only to the two of us."
"Yes! Duke Wei!"
The black-capped shadow guards would not ask why. Since Duke Wei had given the order, they would just carry it out.
As the black-capped shadow guard left, Wei Yanwu walked silently to Chen Huijie's side and looked at the sky like him, but the floating clouds in the sky had drifted away.
"I...um...I..."
Wei Yanwu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. All this happened so suddenly and so strangely that his first reaction was to suspect that he had been tricked. However, everything in the dream was so real, and coupled with the living boy in front of him, even without finding any conclusive evidence, Wei Yanwu still chose to believe him.
But no matter how willing he was to believe it, when it came to really saying something, Wei Yanwu didn't know where to start. He wanted to put himself in the shoes of a family elder, but when he thought of his niece, Wei Yanwu stopped. He really couldn't imagine the scene of himself and Chen Huijie getting along warmly.
"I believe it. I believe your confession at the Guards Bureau."
Afterwards, Wei Yanwu stuttered a few times before finding the topic to talk about, and said softly:
"You...don't be so angry. After all, I suddenly have another nephew. I need to calm down for this kind of thing."
"Governor Wei, can you tell me...what exactly did you just experience?"
Chen Huijie didn't respond, but asked softly with a blank expression:
"I thought you encountered inner demons during your practice, but it seems that is not the case."
"I had a dream. I don't know why I had this dream, but it was very real. I dreamed of a child..."
Wei Yanwu hesitated for a moment, but finally put his hands behind his back and honestly told what he saw in his dream. However, when he mentioned that the child suddenly disappeared, Chen Huijie suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him, indicating that there was no need to continue.
Because... I've already heard what happened next...
Chen Huijie unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and cleared his throat, but this time it was he who opened his mouth but could not speak. Wei Yanwu noticed something was wrong with the person next to him, but he did not look down, but just said softly:
"I don't know how you got here, but if there's no way to go back, just stay here in Longmen. I'll handle the household registration myself. How about temporarily registering your place under the Governor's Office?"
Hearing this, Chen Huijie closed his eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds. The turmoil in his eyes had subsided, at least on the surface. He looked at the Governor of Longmen beside him and said with a smile:
"Governor Wei, come here, give me your hand."
"okay."
Wei Yanwu didn't understand what this was for, but he still extended his hand. After shaking it, Chen Huijie said softly:
"Calm your mind and purify your heart."
As the words fell, Chen Huijie's heart was moved, and the ripples that spread out made Wei Yanwu feel at ease. Then, Wei Yanwu heard Chen Huijie's voice:
"Governor Wei, now, do you still think that child is me?"
When... huh?
Wei Yanwu subconsciously wanted to answer, but at this moment he suddenly felt something subtle. The inexplicable firm intuition just now faded a lot as his mind calmed down, but Wei Yanwu would not doubt it anymore. Just after he wanted to answer, Wei Yanwu felt Chen Huijie pulled his hand away.
“I don’t know how they did it though…”
When Wei Yanwu paused, Chen Huijie had already noticed something. He took his hand out, slowly turned his head to the side, and said softly:
"But that wasn't a dream. My uncle came to see me. I didn't mean to disturb Governor Wei. Please forgive me."
Looking at this thin, upright figure, Wei Yanwu was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, reached out and gently rubbed Chen Huijie's head, and said softly:
