Chapter 259: Chapter 201: Investigation and Abnormalities in the Deep Mountains

Translator: 549690339

During dinner.

Everyone was chatting about daily life.

Most of the time, it was Mother Chen who asked questions.

From Chen Bi’s clothing, food, shelter, and transportation to his daily practice, as well as whether he got along with his Senior Brothers.

Nothing was overlooked, no matter how trivial.

Fortunately, Chen Bi had prepared his answers beforehand.

At this moment.

He could respond quite smoothly.

Halfway through dinner.

Chen Danggui wolfed down his meal, scraping his bowl clean.

At the dining table.

Mother Chen’s questioning had finally come to an end.

Father Chen rarely spoke during his daily life.

Chen Bi took the initiative to start the conversation.

“Today, have any strangers come to the village?

Since last night, the Holy Sect’s personnel had already started searching all over China.

The range of the Sensing Beads was nearly two kilometers.

This distance was neither long nor short.

But it was definitely not short either.

From last night to the present, even if the Holy Sect Personnel’s search area may have overlapping sections.

But by this side of Kyoto, the city should have already been searched and started spreading to Kyoto’s outer areas.

Therefore.

Chen Bi asked this question. “Strangers…today…”

Upon hearing the question,

Both parents stopped what they were doing and their eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a while.

Father Chen slowly shook his head. “Today, I didn’t see any new faces.”

Mother Chen added.

“You know, many young people in our Datian Village have gone to Kyoto to work.”

“Some haven’t returned for several years, and when they do come back, they’ve changed so much that we can’t recognize them.”

“We see people like this quite often, so we didn’t pay much attention.”

Upon hearing this,

Chen Bi nodded without saying anything.

His parents’ answers were not unexpected.

Although Datian Village was remote, it was not a truly impoverished place. Strangers weren’t uncommon, but they weren’t particularly noticeable either.

It was indeed difficult to notice without paying special attention.

“What’s the matter, son? Is there something going on?”

Seeing that Chen Bi didn’t say anything,

Mother Chen asked with a concerned look on her face.

“Nothing, recently in Kyoto, including our sect, there has been a trend of getting closer to nature.”

“So, many disciples of various sects have gone to remote areas for cultivation. I was just asking if any of them had come to our village.”

Chen Bi knew very well.

If he casually made an excuse, his parents would hardly be at ease.

Therefore,

When he asked the question, he had already woven a reason in his heart.

This was also an ability that Chen Bi had cultivated in the time he had joined the Holy Sect.

He could lie with a straight face.

“I see.”

As expected,

Both parents nodded their heads without any doubt upon hearing this explanation.

Chen Bi also lowered his head and prepared to continue eating.

But at that moment,

“Hiss… now that you mention it, I do remember some strange occurrences in the mountain recently.”

“Son, didn’t you say that those martial artists with incredible skills have abilities like immortals?”

Immediately after,

Father Chen told Chen Bi about the anomalies he and Chen Danggui encountered when they went to gather herbs on the mountain several days ago.

“Also, yesterday, I saw the weather forecast saying it would be a sunny day.”

“But at night, I kept hearing thunder, do you think it could be-”

Father Chen stroked his chin, speaking with great conviction.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Mother Chen slapped the back of his head.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Do you think the weather forecast is an imperial decree? It’s a common occurrence for it to be inaccurate.”

“And the animals in the mountains have come out before, it’s not like this is the first time. Stop scaring us with your words.”

In the face of Mother Chen’s scolding,

Father Chen didn’t get angry, but just rubbed his head and laughed. “It’s because our son asked, so I just casually mentioned it.”

“Eat your food and don’t talk about those meaningless things.”

“Practicing martial arts can cause thunder and lightning, I can’t believe you came up with that idea.”

Mother Chen rolled her eyes.

As the actual head of the household,

Her words carried a lot of weight in the family.

As soon as she spoke,

Even Chen Bi began to eat his food obediently, saying no more.

However,

His eyes were filled with a thoughtful expression.

What Father Chen said was not so strange.

It was not common in the mountains, but it was not unheard of.

Now, in these extraordinary times,

Chen Bi could not help but feel uneasy in his heart.

He decided to check the mountain forest later in the evening.

Wild animals in the deep mountain were a deadly threat to ordinary people.

But for him, a Transformation Realm Fighter, It couldn’t be considered trivial.

Just moderately challenging, probably. And so,

Dinner time passed peacefully.

“You’ve been sitting in the car all morning, hurry up and rest for a while.” “It’s not like I can’t handle this little thing.”

Chen Bi was just about to help his mother clean up the dining table, but she pushed him away.

“It’s that Danggui girl.”

Mother Chen brought him to the side and spoke in a low voice.

“I’m afraid she’ll get over her fear and return to the mountain in a few days.”

“Not every time she’ll have such good luck.”

“She has admired you the most since she was a child and always listens to you.

Go and talk to her.”

Mother Chen pointed her mouth in the direction of Chen Danggui’s room.

“Got it?”

Chen Bi had already planned to do so.

Since Mother Chen didn’t let him help, he didn’t insist.

He came to the room door.

Chen Bi knocked on the door.

Kon kon.

“Danggui, can I come in?”

“Yes!”

An excited voice came from inside the room.

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood.

Chen Bi pushed the door and went in..
