"Mom, what are you saying? Do you want me to abandon you and run for my life?"

Chen Xiao didn't understand his mother's words.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhen actually nodded.

"Yes, that's what I want you to do, because I'm not worth risking your life for."

"If you're not worth it, then who is? You're my mom!"

Liu Zhen was silent for a while, then said with a wry smile.

"But I'm not your mom."

"I'm just a woman selling pancakes at the market. How could I have given birth to such an outstanding son like you!"

Chen Xiao became anxious. "Mom, did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

He even wondered if his mother was too frightened and had started talking nonsense.

Liu Zhen shook her head. "Child, I'm not lying to you. I'm not your real mom. I picked you up."

"I don't believe you, you're my mom!"

Chen Xiao didn't believe it.

Liu Zhen muttered to herself.

"Twenty-one years ago, on a snowy day, I found you as an infant, so small, not much bigger than a kitten."

"I originally wanted to send you to the orphanage, but fate destined us to be mother and son. You wouldn't go to anyone else. As soon as you left my arms, you would cry, gasping for breath."

"Only when I held you would you be good and smile at me."

"I had no choice but to adopt you, and that was more than twenty years ago."

Listening to his mother's fragmented muttering, Chen Xiao's eyes turned red.

"Mom, I'm so old now, why are you starting to make up stories again? When I was a kid, you always said you picked me up from a coal pile."

"Child, Mom didn't lie to you."

Liu Zhen fumbled and took out a yellowed piece of paper from her pocket.

"When I found you, besides the yin-yang jade pendant around your neck, there was also this piece of paper. Take a look."

Chen Xiao took it and saw that it was a birth certificate.

His name was written on it, and the place of birth was a hospital in Jingcheng.

Only then did Chen Xiao have to believe that Liu Zhen was not his biological mother.

"Child, from childhood to adulthood, I don't expect you to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, and I don't even ask you to be known among the nobles."

"I only hope you will be a good person with a clear conscience."

"If you live an ordinary and unremarkable life, maybe I will take this secret to the grave."

"But the older you get, the more I feel you are extraordinary. Until recently, I felt I had to tell you this secret."

"You are too good. I can't monopolize you. You should go and find your biological parents."

Chen Xiao sneered and shook his head. "Since they threw me away in the first place, why should I go looking for them now?"

Although it felt absurd, Chen Xiao also accepted the fact that he was adopted.

Liu Zhen was furious after hearing his words.

"Chen Xiao, you have no conscience!"

"Which mother gives birth to a child to abandon him?"

"Who can understand the hardships of ten months of pregnancy?"

Chen Xiao immediately apologized in a low voice, "Okay, Mom, I know I was wrong. I was just anxious for a moment. Don't be angry."

Liu Zhen then said, "So you mean you agree to go find your biological parents?"

Chen Xiao nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Then he added, "Whether I can find my biological parents or not, you are my mom, the closest person to me!"

Liu Zhen smiled with relief. "I'm satisfied with just those words."

After drinking the porridge, Liu Zhen fell asleep again after a while.

Revealing the secret hidden in her heart for many years seemed to have untied her knot, and even her brows relaxed.

Chen Xiao came to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, but a trace of waves rose in his heart.

He didn't care about the matter of his biological parents at all.

What really stirred his heart was the yin-yang jade pendant that he had worn around his neck since he was a child.

He had long discovered the fine lines on the jade pendant, which had not been there last month and only appeared after he obtained the inheritance of the God Emperor.

This made him wonder if the yin-yang jade pendant had anything to do with the God Emperor's inheritance.

If it really mattered, then what was the origin of this yin-yang jade pendant?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt that if he had the opportunity, it seemed that he had to look for information related to his biological parents.

Chen Xiao took out the yin-yang jade pendant and carefully rubbed it, feeling it.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he discovered that the yin-yang jade pendant actually contained wisps of spiritual energy.

And that spiritual energy was actually Chen Xiao's own.

The yin-yang jade pendant can absorb his spiritual energy on its own!

This also meant that it was a spiritual treasure.

When it absorbs enough spiritual energy, it can awaken and have its own consciousness.

Chen Xiao's heart moved greatly, unexpectedly, this yin-yang jade pendant, which had been with him since he was a child, was actually a spiritual magic weapon.

You must know that even in the God Realm, where natural treasures are everywhere, spiritual magic weapons are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Chen Xiao immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Azure Firmament Art.

The stronger his strength, the greater the chance of the yin-yang jade pendant awakening.

While cultivating, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that it was time for him to cultivate a martial technique.

Although he had killed the Qi realm expert Wu Dingbang with just one punch today, he relied entirely on brute force in his body, without any skills.

If he were to fight against experts like Xiao Tianze, the God of the Northern Border Army, he really wouldn't be confident that he could defeat him.

Soon, Chen Xiao chose the martial skill he wanted to practice.

Azure Firmament True Martial!

This martial skill was created by the Azure Firmament God Emperor himself. After it is performed, it can open up the world and break mountains and rivers.

It would be no problem to run rampant in mere Earth.

…

After dawn, Chen Xiao restrained his aura and ended his cultivation.

Not long after, Liu Zhen also woke up.

Chen Xiao bought breakfast and ate it with her.

After breakfast, Liu Zhen wanted to be discharged from the hospital.

Chen Xiao knew that his mother's body was fine, so he agreed.

He first sent his mother home, and then went back to the hospital.

It was already past eight o'clock, less than an hour away from work.

But this time was enough to give Li Ziqing a massage.

One hundred thousand yuan per session, it would be a waste not to earn it.

Chen Xiao came to the door of Li Ziqing's ward and saw an adult man wearing a yellow vest looking around outside the door.

The yellow vest looked inside through the glass on the door, looking suspicious.

Chen Xiao walked over and said sternly, "What are you doing?"

The yellow vest was startled. He didn't notice when Chen Xiao walked over.

The yellow vest said, "I'm here to deliver takeout."

Chen Xiao frowned. "Delivering takeout? Where's the takeout?"

The yellow vest pointed inside. "It's already delivered."

Through the window, Chen Xiao saw Li Ziqing scooping a spoonful of soup and about to put it in her mouth.

Chen Xiao secretly screamed in his heart, kicked open the door of the ward with one kick.
