Hearing this, He Zhengxi finally looked up at him, but that glance was too plain and he could not tell the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Who is he?" After a long time, a sentence came out of his mouth.

When Nalan Yanran heard her son finally spoke, her tense heart was like a rainbow after the rain, with different colors. But after a moment, she returned to her previous coldness.

"He is your grandfather, my great-grandfather."

It sounded like a non-simple word, but he didn't know that Nalan Yanran's heart was filled with various complex emotions.

Upon hearing this, He Zhengxi frowned indecisively, which was obviously not what he expected. After all, he really thought she had some difficulties. The most likely thing was that the person who took him away restricted her freedom, so that she might not be able to come back for so many years.

No, did he ignore something? He remembered that his wife had said before that villa in the back mountain of Nalan's family seemed to have traces of a woman's life there, and even joked about whether his uncle was hiding a beautiful woman in a golden house.

Could it be that my uncle is not a hiding girl in the golden house, but she is the one who has been living there all the time? He Zhengxi looked at the person who called himself his mother in front of him, and returned to his previous indifferent appearance.

Nalan Yanran naturally did not catch the expression on his face. She looked at her son with a stinky expression on her face and said, "Your grandmother's family is one of the four guardians of the witch clan in ancient times. After the witch clan was exterminated for offending the Emperor of Heaven, the four guardians were also implicated. All the people of the witch clan except the high priest lost all their magic power overnight and became ordinary people.

In order to preserve power and prevent the witch clan from extinction, the leader of the witch clan at that time, the high priest, asked the four guardians to take the witch clan-suppressing treasures and the four spiritual beads to leave from four directions. He also agreed with them that unless the 1000th heir of the Mu family appeared, the descendants of the four guardians would not meet privately. At that time, the high priest predicted that when the 1000th generation descendants of the Mu family were 26 years old, a catastrophe would occur in heaven and earth. At that time, the descendants of the four guardians would need to take out the four spirit stones and hand them over to the descendants of the high priests, so that the catastrophe could be resolved. At that time, your grandmother's ancestors took away the blue eye that symbolized the power of the Vermilion Bird."

He Zhengxi still looked calm, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him. Nalan Yanran silently breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, our ancestors fled to a small town in the south. Later, the ancestors had the current Chen family in the south because of their wealth. Although the Chen family was rich in the south, they were not keen on power and fame and fortune. Therefore, the descendants of the Chen family have always been low-key, and there are very few people who know them and they do not intermarry with foreigners. I thought that the descendants of the Chen family would always live in seclusion like this forever, until the 1,000 generations of descendants of the high priest appeared, but your great-grandfather did not expect that the incident of your grandmother would happen.

You should have heard from your grandfather that your grandmother had married him before she married him, and your uncle was not his child either. Your grandmother was very playful when she was young because she was the only direct bloodline of the Chen family. Your grandmother was assigned the responsibility to protect the spirit beads since she was a child. When she was adultery, your great-grandfather made a marriage for her in the clan. However, your grandmother was rebellious and did not want to marry that person. One day, she sneaked out while everyone was not paying attention."
