Chapter 383: Indeed, There Are Divine Traces

Time flies in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the Spring Day Festival.

Tonight, the area around Black Tortoise Lake and the Qin Huai River was a sea of people.

Everyone was participating in the once‑a‑year Spring Day Festival.

At Black Tortoise Lake's edge, the Ke Clan, Chen Family, and Duàn jiā were all present.

Only the century‑old Lan Family and Zhu Family stood before them.

Everyone held the ceremony as usual, reciting the pre‑written memorial text.

At this moment, Lin Yang stood on the old city wall, watching all of this.

Beside Lin Yang was Liu Yan, wearing a black gauze skirt.

"Tonight is the Spring Day Festival; you must not cause trouble."

"There are Lan Family and Zhu Family people here, and many experts."

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said.

"Don't worry, I won't move against the two families for now."

Huh?

Liu Yan first felt doubtful, then nervously said.

"You also cannot act against the other three families!"

"If you disturb the Spring Day Festival, they will join forces to deal with you!"

"Everyone thinks this is a prayer for blessings to the gods!"

Pray to the gods for blessings?

Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said.

"Am I not a god myself?"

His eyes gleaming, he said to Liu Yan.

"Whether you believe it or not, I will display a miracle tonight."

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Liu Yan was completely bewildered.

But she knew Lin Yang had no intention of letting it go.

She grabbed Lin Yang's hand and nervously said.

"You must not cause trouble!"

Lin Yang, being pulled, laughed loudly and, with a backhand, wrapped his arms around Liu Yan's waist.

"Tonight, I invite you to a night tour of Black Tortoise Lake!"

After embracing Liu Yan, Lin Yang leapt down.

"Sword, come!"

The long sword flew through the air; controlling the sword, he flew toward Black Tortoise Lake.

Lin Yang, flying to Black Tortoise Lake, parted the lake's water.

At this moment, the shores of Black Tortoise Lake were brightly lit.

The parting of the water naturally attracted many gazes.

After the water parted, Lin Yang controlled his sword and flew up into the sky.

The lake water also flew up into the sky, forming a water curtain that appeared before everyone.

"Is this the event you put on tonight?"

The onlooking crowd watched this scene and couldn't help but start discussing.

The Lan Family and Zhu Family people, upon seeing this, also frowned.

At this moment, the water curtain began to slowly descend, and the water suspended in the air started to form several characters.

Ke, Chen, Duàn families—your virtue does not match your position; you shall be slain!

When these words appeared, the pupils of the three great families' members contracted.

"Who, who is so bold as to dare provoke our three families?"

"Who is pretending to be a ghost and playing mysteries? Show yourself at once!"

Just then, the water at the center of Black Tortoise Lake suddenly shot up into the sky.

Then it formed a water dragon, a dozen meters tall, appearing before everyone.

Seeing this, everyone promptly took out their phones to take photos.

This is so realistic, it couldn't be a projection.

Then, a majestic voice echoed in the night sky.

"The three families shall be slain!"

The dozen‑meter‑long giant dragon opened its blood‑basin huge mouth and devoured all the floating characters in the air.

Then it fell back into the water.

This scene completely caused the crowd to erupt.

"It's a true dragon! A true dragon has manifested its divine power!"

Among the Chen family, a middle‑aged man stepped forward and loudly rebuked.

"What true dragon manifesting its power? I think someone is just mystifying things!"

"If there truly were a deity, I stand here and have never seen it harm me in the slightest!"

Just as he finished speaking, a water column from the lake shot straight at the man.

Chen Jun saw the water column and let out a great shout.

Good timing—I actually want to see if there really is a god!

He let out a Great Shout, waving his fists intending to block this strike.

Pfft

But, the water column arrived in front of Chen Jun, then turned into a puddle of water, falling on his body.

Originally, Chen Jun, whose fighting spirit was high, instantly became a soaked chicken.

This scene provoked the crowd into laughter.

Now, Chen Jun couldn't keep a straight face.

As a respected martial arts grand master, being made a fool of in front of so many people, he must regain his dignity.

You son of a bitch, how dare you toy with me!

If you've got the guts, come out and duel me one-on-one.

Just as his words fell, a voice rang out in the night sky.

Insolent speech deserves a beating!

In the water, a strand of water grass appeared, instantly turning into a sharp sword, shooting straight at Chen Jun.

The water grass instantly pierced Chen Jun's shoulder, sending him flying more than ten meters.

Seeing this, everyone gasped.

This scene made them have to believe that there truly are divine traces!

Could it be that they three families did something that angers both humans and gods?

In the crowd, everyone began to discuss.

Hmph, those few families suddenly rose six years ago; there must definitely be something fishy!

Then I'll tell you just you; don't tell anyone else, okay?

Okay, I promise not to tell anyone else.

Nannan softly said: 'Actually, I see Mom crying alone every night, taking medicine alone; I hope her illness gets better soon.'

After saying that, she hesitated a moment then continued speaking.

'Actually, I also wish my dad could come back; I envy other kids who have a dad, so I wouldn't be bullied.'

Hearing Nannan's words, Ye Fei felt a pang of sorrow; such a young child being so sensible.

Her mother should be taking antidepressants, while her father's whereabouts are unknown.

He rubbed Nannan's head.

'It's still raining; I'll send Nannan home.'

'My mom will be here soon; I need to wait for her.'

Just as she finished speaking, a tall woman in a white shirt and white canvas shoes, head down, hands shielding her face, came running over with small quick steps.

Seeing the woman, Nannan smiled and walked under the eaves.

'Nannan's here waiting for Mom again; let's go home.'

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Fei startled and involuntarily turned his head.

'It's raining; I have an umbrella you can take back.'

Luo Xin originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the rain growing heavier in the sky, she could only turn and accept the umbrella.

'Thanks.'

With that turn, both Ye Fei and Luo Xin froze.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Luo Xin's pupils contracted, filled with three parts fear and seven parts hatred, she gritted her teeth and said.

'It's you!'

In this familiar place, she encountered the person she feared most and also hated the most.

It was him who shattered her life, turning her from a heavenly gifted lady into an ordinary person.

The Luo family felt she had brought shame upon them; the school also expelled her, destroying her future and dreams.

And the architect of all this, she thought she would never see him again in this lifetime, never expecting to meet him today.

Looking at Luo Xin's gaze, Ye Fei didn't know how to speak for a moment.

He lowered his head, looked at himself hiding behind Luo Xin, looked at his own Nannan, and then recalled what she had said before.

Ye Fei said in a low voice: 'Sorry, it was I who hurt you back then; please give me a chance to make amends, give Nannan a home.'

Nannan, hiding behind Luo Xin, blinked her eyes, looked at Ye Fei, and asked in a childish voice.

'Mom, is he my dad?'

The usually gentle Luo Xin, for the first time, shouted loudly at Nannan.

'No, he is not your dad; you have no dad.'

'But...'

'There's no "but"; you have no dad.'
