Chapter 134 Is He the Father?

Chapter 134 Is He the Father?

Su Chenyin gently pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance of spiritual herbs wafted in her face and lingered in her nose.

The interior decoration of the house is simple yet grand, revealing a heroic and majestic atmosphere.

At this time, the kind-faced dean, Yun Potian, who was wearing a purple robe with cloud patterns, was sitting at the tea table by the window, sipping tea leisurely.

What surprised Su Chenyin was that at the other end of the tea table, there was a handsome man sitting, and this man was Teacher Xu Yi.

"Dean, Teacher Xu." Su Chenyin called softly.

"Well, girl Yin, you're here." Dean Yun Potian raised his head and a amiable smile appeared on his face.

He put down the teacup in his hand, pointed to the seat next to him, and said in a gentle voice: "Come, sit down and talk."

Su Chenyin sat down at the tea table as she was told, while Jun Yijue stood outside the door, waiting quietly.

Su Chenyin couldn't help but look at Teacher Xu Yi who was sitting opposite her. She saw him nod slightly with a faint smile on his face.

Dean Yun Potian turned his gaze to the door, as if he was aware of Jun Yijue's presence, but did not say much.

"This is your elite class instructor, Xu Yi. I think you two should have met this morning." Dean Yun Potian retracted his gaze and introduced Xu Yi to Su Chenyin.

"Yes, Dean." Su Chenyin responded, but she was a little curious in her heart why Professor Xu Yi was here.

Dean Yun Potian nodded gently, picked up the teacup, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and slowly spoke:

"Yin girl, you may not know that Xu Yi is not only your mentor, but also your mother's senior brother and her best friend."

"Ah?" Su Chenyin was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that Teacher Xu Yi had such a deep connection with her mother.

No wonder Teacher Xu Yi looked at her strangely in the morning. This is the reason.

Su Chenyin turned her head to look at Xu Yi, only to see him nod slightly, with a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, as if he saw an old friend through her.

Xu Yi showed a bitter smile, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone: "Back then, your mother and I studied and practiced together in Cangluo Holy Academy. She was my best junior sister and also my best friend."

"My junior sister back then... Alas, that's all in the past. I didn't expect that after so many years, she actually had a daughter. Seeing you, Chen Yin, now is like seeing my junior sister."

Xu Yi's voice was slightly low, and the nostalgia in his eyes became deeper, as if he was lost in memories of the past.

Su Chenyin stared at Teacher Xu Yi with complicated eyes, and a faint ripple appeared in her heart.

She had never expected to meet her mother's old friends here, which made her even more curious about her mother's past.

Moreover, she secretly speculated that this mentor Xu Yi might be able to bring her more clues about her mother.

Su Chenyin raised her lips and smiled, trying to make her tone lighter to break the heavy atmosphere: "Teacher Xu, my mother...what kind of person is she?"

Xu Yi came back to his senses, his eyes became gentle, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly:

"Your mother is the most outstanding woman I have ever met. She is gifted, kind, beautiful, smart, tenacious, and always willing to help others. It's a pity..."

Having said this, Xu Yi paused, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes, but was instantly perfectly covered by his lowered eyelids.

"What a pity?" Su Chenyin asked impatiently.

The smile on Xu Yi's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of heaviness, and then he said:

"Unfortunately, your mother disappeared while on a mission at the academy alone. We have not heard from her since. We have been looking for her, but to no avail."

Dean Yun Potian put down his teacup and interrupted, "Yes. At that time, Xu Yi and I had been looking for her whereabouts, but we searched for a long time and still couldn't find her."

"Until sixteen years ago, your mother suddenly appeared. But she did not come back alone. She brought a strange man with her."

Hearing this, Su Chenyin was shocked.

Man? Could he be his father?

Father? That's right!

Su Chenyin had a flash of inspiration.

Thinking of the picture of her parents depending on each other that her mother Lu Wan Ning left her, since the dean had seen him, he must know what the man looked like.

Su Chenyin's heartbeat quickened. She stared at Dean Yun Potian closely and asked anxiously, "Who is that man? Dean, can you tell me what he looks like?"

Dean Yun Potian looked at Su Chenyin's expectant eyes, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "The man was wearing a black mask with gold patterns, and I didn't see his true face clearly."

"At that time, he was wearing a black robe and had an upright posture. Although he was very young, I couldn't see through his cultivation level," Dean Yun Potian recalled.

When Su Chenyin heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She thought she could get information about the man's appearance from the dean.

Hey! I didn't expect him to be wearing a mask.

Although he did not get the man's specific appearance, Su Chenyin was not completely disappointed.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and continued to ask: "Then Dean, do you know his relationship with her mother, or what his name is?"

Dean Yun Potian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I don't know the relationship between them, but I remember that when your mother came back, the two behaved very intimately, and your mother relied on and trusted him very much."

"As for his identity, I don't know, and your mother never told us either. I only know that your mother called him 'Huai'."

"Huai..." Su Chenyin repeated the name in a low voice, his fingers unconsciously clenched the edge of the seat, and a wave of shock rose in his heart.

The name "Huai" is exactly the same as her father's name "Su Jinghuai" mentioned in the letter her mother left for her.

And in the lower right corner of the scroll, my father’s name “Su Jinghuai” was also written.

Combined with what Dean Yun Potian said about their close relationship, his mother's dependence on and trust in him.

At this moment, Su Chenyin was 99% sure that this man was her father.

"Dean, I want to know, what happened to them later? Why did my mother leave?"

Su Chenyin asked relentlessly, she felt she was getting closer and closer to the truth.

Dean Yun Potian's eyes flashed with solemnity. He thought for a moment, sighed deeply, and then slowly said:

"When your mother came back that year, she only stayed for a moment and then left in a hurry with the man."

"I asked her why, and she just said she had something important to deal with. After that, I didn't see her for eight years until she suddenly came to me seven years ago."

"Seven years ago?" Su Chenyin's heart tightened.

It seems that after her mother Lu Wan Ning left Nanyan Kingdom seven years ago, she came to the Eastern Region and visited the Dean Yun Potian at Cangluo Holy Academy.

"Dean, why did my mother come to you seven years ago?" Su Chenyin asked with a questioning look on her face.
