"Feng'er, let's go." One of the middle-aged men tightened his grip on his small hand as he looked in front of him, his face filled with determination.

Sensing the strength in his father's hand, a child of about seven or eight years old turned his head to look at his father and nodded resolutely. He followed closely behind the middle-aged man with the steps of an adult male.

After a while, the little boy who was walking behind said, "Daddy, I'm hungry."

A clear voice came from the boy's mouth. His innocent face was filled with hope as he blinked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Hearing his son's words, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at his son with an embarrassed expression. But in the blink of an eye, a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Wait a moment, son."

After saying that, the middle-aged man fished out a small amount of crushed silver from his chest and pulled his warm little hand as he walked towards the sesame seed cake shop.

The middle-aged man who was walking had a worried look on his face. He couldn't help but clench the silver in his hand. He had almost used up all of his silver. How would he suffer in the future?

Finally, the middle-aged man looked at the remaining bits of silver in his hand and sighed helplessly.

While the middle-aged man was frowning, the little boy was skipping forward. His innocent face revealed a faint smile, and his exposed teeth were flashing under the sunlight.

The scones were now his greatest joy in his eyes.

When the middle-aged man saw his son so lively and adorable, he couldn't help but feel gratified. Making up his mind, he said to himself, "Aqua Heart, I won't let our child suffer. One day, our family will reunite ?"

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man could not help but be distracted.

Just as the middle-aged man was thinking about his future, an incongruous voice called out from the front, "Hurry up, little beggar. Don't block my path to fortune."

The dazed middle-aged man raised his head and saw a fat man proudly humiliating Feng'er.

Seeing his son's pitiful appearance, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help but suddenly darken.

In his heart, his son was a taboo that no one could offend.

The fatty saw a middle-aged man wearing the same beggar outfit walking over and wanted to scold him.

However, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head.

Their gazes met, and from that empty gaze, the fatty felt a sudden call to death. He couldn't help but lose his focus as he stood there blankly, not moving an inch.

The middle-aged man that looked like a beggar pulled his son's trembling little hand and continued to walk forward. He said to himself, "Child, you must remember that in this world, your status is noble. Even that Monarch cannot make you yield, because they are not worthy."

Hearing his father's words, the little boy who was eating the sesame seed cake in his hand had a confused look in his eyes.

Although he was young, he knew that a person dressed like him was called a beggar. He had the lowest status in this society.

But now, his father said that. This caused the little boy to be unable to understand.

Seeing the confused look on his son's face, the middle-aged man in front of him didn't explain anything and continued to walk forward.

The little boy staggered as he followed.

"Feng'er, we'll find your mother soon."

As he was feeling sad, after hearing his father's powerful words, heat couldn't help but surge into his heart.

He could not help but silently call out in his heart, he would definitely find his mother, he would definitely find her.

But after a while, his eyes became a bit lost. He had been wandering with his father for more than 10 years and his mother had never been heard from again. That made the originally yearning Chu Feng a bit sad.

"Feng'er, trust Father. One day, we will definitely find your mother."

The middle-aged man Chu Mingfan who was walking in front saw through his son's confusion, so he said those comforting words.

Actually, after so many years, the wandering Chu Mingfan's heart had been slowly worn out. It was only a stubborn feeling that encouraged him.

A small town, another small town. The father and son pair had wandered like this for more than ten years.

His father, Chu Mingfan, had a messy beard and his son, Chu Feng, was dressed in an untidy set of clothes. The two of them were dressed like beggars.

In this world where power reigned supreme, they had suffered countless looks of contempt and ridicule. Perhaps only they would remember the unfair treatment they had received along the way.

Occasionally one or two of them cast sympathetic glances at them. However, the bitterness and pain had already permeated into Chu Feng's heart, and his young heart was riddled with scars.

This was also the reason why even when he had monstrous power, he would still have a heart of compassion.

"Don't run, kid, stop." An angry voice came from behind.

Chu Feng turned his head around and saw a very thin child being chased and beaten up. The children who were beating him up saw that he was a beggar that was easy to bully, so they kept on happily chasing after him.

Chu Feng's heart couldn't help but ache a bit when he saw that scene. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the winter several years ago.

At that time, his father had gone out to look for food, leaving him alone in the corner. However, a few of his peers saw him alone in the corner and threw snowballs at him.

At that time, Chu Feng was hiding in a corner and sobbing softly.

After a long while, Chu Feng faintly felt the sound of others sobbing. He couldn't help raising his head and looking at her with suspicion. He saw a cute little girl holding a biscuit and blinking at him.

The girl said sweetly, "Here."

Chu Feng accepted the biscuit in the girl's hand with a bit of restraint. He swallowed his saliva, but he endured the urge to take a bite.

The girl looked at the little beggar's strange actions suspiciously. She couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you eating?"

Chu Feng looked at the girl's shiny eyes and said, "I'll wait for father to come back so we can eat together."

Upon hearing those words, the lady immediately skipped away.

Chu Feng looked at the girl's back as she left and blankly squatted in the corner without moving an inch.

After a while, the girl came back with a small basket in her hand ? That year, Chu Feng was five years old.

The sound of sobbing brought Chu Feng back to reality. Looking at the little boy who was curled up on the ground, he couldn't help but feel tears welling up in the corner of his eyes.

6 years. 6 years. The scenes of the past once again echoed in Chu Feng's mind.

When Chu Mingfan saw Chu Feng like this, his eyes were filled with guilt. That small matter from six years ago had been lingering in Chu Mingfan's heart.

He kept blaming himself for not taking care of the good child. He felt that he had let the child down, and that he had let his heart water down ? The scene in front of his eyes made Chu Mingfan angry.

How could he bear to let the child remember that sad memory again?

As he thought of this, Chu Mingfan's eyes turned cold. Anyone who saw his gaze would feel a chill down their spines.

For some reason, the two children who were beaten up suddenly stopped, their eyes full of fear. The surrounding people looked at the group of children in confusion.

However, a moment later, the group of children ran off in all directions, further confusing the onlookers.

"Let's go." As he spoke, he pulled Chu Feng's hand and continued forward. However, in Chu Mingfan's heart, he made a decision, "Feng'er, your father will never let you get hurt again, even if it means offending the entire world."

Chu Feng tightly followed his father's footsteps and walked forward. The two of them strolled down the street, which was filled with people who understood the trends of life.

From time to time, Chu Feng's gaze would linger on the children's toys for a while, then he helplessly turned his head away. However, this tiny action was caught by Chu Mingfan. He couldn't help but feel guilty again.

In his mind, he repeatedly asked himself, "Is this right?" Is that right? "Did I really do wrong in the past? Did I do wrong? Should I not have brought him out? Am I too selfish ?"

Chu Feng, who was walking behind, felt that something was wrong with his father's mood. He pulled his father's sleeve and said, "Father, what's wrong? The sky is about to turn dark. We need to find a place to rest."

Hearing his son's voice, Chu Mingfan couldn't help but wake up from his self-blame. He patted Chu Feng's head and said, "Son, do you want to stay in the restaurant and sleep in a soft bed ?"

After hearing those words, Chu Feng was puzzled. What happened to his father today? Why did he say such unfathomable things? The doubtful Chu Feng silently stood there without moving. On the other hand, Chu Mingfan smiled, grabbed Chu Feng's hand, and walked towards the center of the town.

"Wow, what a high restaurant!" That was Chu Feng's first reaction after seeing it. Chu Mingfan saw that Chu Feng had a bit of a blank look on his face. He smiled and pulled Chu Feng's hand as he walked forward.

In the upper right corner of the restaurant, there was a sign, "Tianfeng Inn." The red symbol made people not dare to look at it directly. The two stone lions by the door looked very mighty.

And right now, Chu Feng was fearfully following his father's footsteps as he walked forward. The waiter standing at the entrance saw the two beggars walking towards them. His eyes were filled with doubt. Why did these people come into the downtown? What were the Town Security doing? Just as the waiter was puzzled, Chu Feng and his son stepped into the door of the tavern.

This caused the puzzled waiter to wake up in an instant. He immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, as this was related to his job. Looking at the two beggars in front of him, he couldn't help but become arrogant. He took three steps forward, pointed at Chu Mingfan and cursed, "Where did this beggar come from? How dare he come in? He's courting death ?" The waiter kept scolding. Before long, he had surrounded a few people and was watching the show.
