Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chapter 491 Yao Ji: He's a heartless man

Soon, Chen Changsheng returned to Guanjiang Estuary with Yao Ji, Yang Chan, and Yang Jian.

The Yang family's old house is located on the banks of the Guanjiang River.

Backed by green mountains and facing the river.

However, after so many years, the old house has long since fallen into disrepair.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng and the other three stood outside the old house, looking at the ruins before them, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The courtyard wall has collapsed most of the way, with blue bricks scattered all over the ground and wild grass growing in the cracks.

The wooden plaque above the door is rotten, and the characters on it are blurred and illegible, with only the two characters "Yang Mansion" vaguely discernible.

The old locust tree in the yard is still there, but its trunk is hollow and its branches and leaves are sparse, as if it might fall down at any moment.

In addition, a large hole had collapsed in the roof of the main house, and sunlight shone down, illuminating the dilapidated interior.

The windows of the side room were gone, leaving only a few dark, square holes.

……

The old house, eroded by time, is no longer what it used to be.

As she watched, Yao Ji's eyes filled with tears.

For a moment, she took a deep breath and stepped out first.

Before stepping forward, Yao Ji slowly raised her jade-like hand and gently stroked the decaying wooden door.

Looking back, his family lived happily and contentedly here.

Just as Yao Ji was feeling lost, Yang Chan approached and said:

"Mother."

"We're back."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji regained her composure, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded, saying:

"Um."

"I'm back."

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Then, the four of them stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard of the Yang family's old house.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and weeds, making a rustling sound when you stepped on it.

The bluestone path in the courtyard was cracked, and wild grass grew in the cracks.

"When I was a child, I often practiced martial arts under this old locust tree."

"My mother sat on the porch watching me, while my older brother and Chan'er played nearby..."

"Those were the days, how wonderful they were."

Yang Jian sighed with emotion.

Upon hearing what Yang Jian said, Yao Ji and Yang Chan both looked at the old locust tree, their eyes filled with reminiscence.

Chen Changsheng stood aside without saying a word.

You can feel that this old Yang family house carries a deep emotional weight for Yao Ji and the others.

"Let's renovate the old house!"

At this moment, Yao Ji spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng and the others nodded in agreement.

Next, the group began to take action.

Before long, the Yang family's old house, which was originally dilapidated, was completely transformed.

The courtyard wall was rebuilt, with blue bricks and gray tiles, neat and sturdy.

The roof tiles have all been replaced, and they gleam with a warm luster in the sunlight.

The doors and windows were reinstalled, with exquisite carvings, exuding a simple and elegant charm.

The bluestone path in the courtyard was also cleaned up.

The old locust tree, which had been withered, has also become lush and verdant again, casting a dense shadow in the sunlight.

The entire old house has been completely renovated.

After that, Chen Changsheng and the others settled down in the Yang family's old house like ordinary people.

……

At the same time, news of the Battle of Taoshan spread like wildfire across the vast land.

"Have you heard? Mount Momo has been split in two!"

"What?"

"Really? Isn't the Heavenly Princess who was imprisoned beneath Peach Mountain?"

"Who's so bold?"

"It seems to be Chen Changsheng, the son-in-law of Fairy Yaoji."

"This Chen Changsheng is no ordinary person; I've heard he's from the lineage of a sage of the Jie Sect!"

"More than that! Chen Changsheng is the personal disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, and he is also highly regarded by the Tongtian Sage!"

"It seems that the Sage Tongtian bestowed upon him his personal sword, the Qingping Sword."

"I've also heard that Chen Changsheng is a guardian deity of the Jie Sect!"

"This person is not only bold, but also incredibly strong."

"..."

"The Battle of Momoyama attracted the participation of many forces."

"Human race, Jie Sect, Chan Sect, Western Sect, Heavenly Court..."

"What's so special about this? It's like even saints got involved, and they even had a magical duel on Mount Peach!"

"I can't even imagine what Momoyama was like back then?"

"..."

For a time, the Battle of Taoshan was being discussed everywhere across the vast land.

In particular, the name Chen Changsheng is widely known.

At this time, the old Yang family residence is located at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

At this moment, Yao Ji sat at the stone table under the old locust tree.

A teapot and teacups were placed on the table, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Looking at everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar before her, Yao Ji's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She was imprisoned under Peach Mountain for a long time, and the outside world had long since changed beyond recognition.

Just as Yao Ji was lost in thought, Chen Changsheng and the other two came to the table and sat down.

"Mother, have some tea."

Yang Chan poured Yao Ji a cup of tea.

Yao Ji took the tea, sipped it, and a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

"Chan'er, you've grown up."

"Like Mother when she was young."

Hearing what Yao Ji said, Yang Chan felt a warmth in her heart.

After her family was separated, Yang Chan dreamed of the day when her family would be reunited.

Now, Chen Changsheng has split open Peach Mountain and rescued Yao Ji, allowing them to reunite at the Yang family's old residence.

After a brief silence, Yang Chan suddenly seemed to remember something, and her gaze shifted to Yao Ji, as she sighed:

"It's a pity that my father and eldest brother are no longer here."

"Where are they now?"

To Yang Chan's surprise, Yao Ji's expression suddenly darkened immediately after she said those words.

She paused briefly, then abruptly put down her teacup, a cold glint in her eyes, and snapped:

"Don't mention your father!"

This sudden scene startled Yang Chan, and Yang Jian also frowned, looking completely bewildered.

On the contrary, Chen Changsheng appeared calm and composed.

Haotian had already mentioned Yang Tianyou's matter to Chen Changsheng earlier.

In Chen Changsheng's view, Yao Ji should also know the reason behind it.

Startled, Yang Chan looked at Yao Ji with a blank expression and asked in confusion:

"Mother."

"Wha...what's wrong?"

Yao Ji did not rush to answer Yang Chan, and fell into silence.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath and slowly said:

"Your father..."

"No, that heartless man, he doesn't deserve to be your father!"

Upon hearing Yao Ji say such a thing, Yang Jian and Yang Chan were both taken aback, their expressions filled with overwhelming astonishment.

After all, in their eyes, their father, Yang Tianyou, was deeply in love with Yao Ji.

But judging from Yao Ji's tone, she seemed to be filled with hatred towards Yang Tianyou.

After a slight hesitation, Yang Jian frowned and asked with a puzzled look:

"Mother, what...what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji glanced at herself, her eyes filled with hatred. Without further ado, she said directly:

"Your father, Yang Tianyou, is outwardly an ordinary scholar."

"But in reality, he is a disciple of a Western saint, a pawn sent by the Western religion to the East!"

"Even when he saved me when I was seriously injured, it was part of the West's scheme."
