Chapter 53: Visiting Father

After finishing the treatment for his mother, Ye Feng chatted with her for a few more moments.

Shen Yurou leaned against the headboard, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Xiaofeng, I don't know how your father is doing. He must have suffered a lot in prison."

Ye Feng's heart tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Mom, don't worry. It's the weekend tomorrow; I will go to the prison to visit Dad."

Shen Yurou nodded, her tone carrying a hint of relief: "Good, go see him and tell him that Mom, you, and Ling'er are waiting for him at home."

Ye Feng nodded. The household was much more stable now, and he was also missing his father a little.

Even though his father had done many things that wronged them, blood was thicker than water, after all!

After leaving his mother's room, Ye Feng took a shower and returned to his own room to begin cultivating.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the Xuantian Sacred Scripture, the True Qi within his body flowing slowly to nourish every inch of his meridians.

A night of cultivation brought Ye Feng's mental state to its peak.

Early the next morning, after getting up and washing up, he headed straight for the prison.

Upon arriving at the prison, Ye Feng completed the visitation procedures and was subsequently taken to the visitation room.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a prison uniform was brought in.

His face was haggard, but his gaze remained resolute.

"Dad!"

Ye Feng stood up, a glimmer of tears flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Ye Feng, Ye Zhentang revealed a relieved smile on his face: "Xiaofeng, you finally came."

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of concern: "Dad, are you doing alright in here? Mom asked me to tell you that we are waiting for you at home."

A glimmer of tears also flashed in Ye Zhentang's eyes; he nodded, his tone carrying a hint of emotion: "Xiaofeng, Dad is sorry to you all for making you suffer."

"However, don't blame Dad; Dad has his own difficulties!"

Ye Feng shook his head: "Dad, please don't say that. No one blames you, and I will definitely find a way to save you."

Ye Zhentang smiled, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning: "Xiaofeng, Dad knows you have experienced a lot recently, but you must remember: no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere."

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of determination: "Dad, don't worry, your son has already grown up!"

A glimmer of gratification flashed in Ye Zhentang's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Xiaofeng, Dad believes in you. On the road ahead, you will definitely go further than Dad."

The visitation time ended quickly, and the prison guard came over to take Ye Zhentang away.

"Xiaofeng, protect your mother well!"

As he was being led away, Ye Zhentang suddenly said this, and then he disappeared from Ye Feng's field of vision.

Ye Feng frowned, but he did not think about it deeply.

His mother was his reverse scale, and he would certainly protect her well!

After leaving the visitation room, Ye Feng took his things, said thank you to the prison guard, and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

He had just taken a step when he was called out by the prison guard.

Ye Feng frowned and turned around in confusion to look at the prison guard who had called him.

"Your father left a letter for you."

The prison guard walked to his workstation, pulled open a drawer, and took out a file bag.

Ye Feng took the file bag and discovered that the bottom was slightly bulging; it was clear that it contained more than just a letter.

However, Ye Feng did not open it immediately; after thanking him, Ye Feng left the prison directly.

Elsewhere, in a dim and damp little room, Ye Zhentang sat in the corner and said in a voice that was nearly hoarse: "To be able to cultivate to the Qi Energy Master Realm in such a short time, you are truly worthy of being my, Ye Zhentang's, son!"

A golden light flashed in his eyes: "It seems I can also leave without worry. It is time for certain causes and effects to be settled!"

"Come here!"

Following that, he shed his previous haggard appearance and shouted, and immediately, two prison guards ran over and knelt before him, saying: "Master Ye, what are your orders!"

"During the time I am away, you must protect my wife and son!"

"If they suffer even the slightest harm, I will hold you accountable!"

After speaking, he actually vanished from the prison, leaving behind only a cloud of black smoke.

Unknowingly, Ye Feng had already run back home with the file bag.

Ye Feng's strength could be said to be very formidable now; the ten-plus kilometers from the prison to his home took him less than half an hour to run, even faster than some electric scooters!

After returning home, Ye Feng handed the file bag his father, Ye Zhentang, had given him to his mother, Shen Yurou.

Shen Yurou took the file bag, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes: "Xiaofeng, what is this?"

Ye Feng sat beside his mother, his tone carrying a hint of heaviness: "Mom, this is from Dad. I went to visit him in prison today, and the prison guard gave me a letter when I left."

Shen Yurou's hands trembled slightly; she slowly opened the file bag and discovered a letter and a Gold Bracelet inside.

Her gaze fell upon the Gold Bracelet, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes: "This... this is... it was actually on him!"

Ye Feng looked closely and discovered that the Gold Bracelet was exactly the same as the grand finale item from yesterday's Auction—the key to the Ghost Doctor Sect!

A stormy sea surged in his heart, and the figure of the masked man in his mind actually overlapped with his father's figure.

"Could it be... that the masked man is my father?"

Ye Feng's heart was filled with confusion and shock!

He turned to look at his mother and discovered that the corners of Shen Yurou's eyes were actually moist.

Her fingers gently stroked the Gold Bracelet, as if she were recalling something.

"Mom, this Gold Bracelet... what is going on?"

Ye Feng asked in a low voice.

Shen Yurou did not answer, but instead trembled as she opened the letter.

Ye Feng's gaze landed on the letter paper, and he discovered that the content of the letter was actually a farewell letter from his father, Ye Zhentang.

"Yurou, Xiaofeng, Ling'er:

By the time you see this letter, I will have already left.

Over these years, I have done many things to wrong you, but it was all to deceive others; now that Xiaofeng has also grown up, and I have finally found the clues, it is time for some causes and effects to reach their conclusion!

This Gold Bracelet is one of the keys to the Ghost Doctor Sect, and it is also the token of our family's heritage.

Xiaofeng, you must keep it safe; the road ahead is now in your hands.

Yurou, I am sorry for making you wait for so many years.

But I believe that Xiaofeng will certainly be able to protect you well!

As for Ling'er, just grow up healthy; you must never get involved in this whirlpool!

Xiaofeng, you must protect your mother well; do not let the Shen Clan find her!

Take care.

Ye Zhentang."

After Ye Feng finished reading the letter, a stormy sea surged in his heart.

He muttered in a low voice, "Isn't he in prison? How does the letter say he is leaving?"

Shen Yurou's tears finally could not be held back and flowed down; she gripped that Gold Bracelet tightly, her tone carrying a hint of a sob: "Xiaofeng, your dad... he has left."
