Chapter 687 This is not a choice, it is a responsibility!

Such sudden news was too shocking for Tang Ciyun and the other disciples who often interacted with the two siblings. They were stunned for a long time.

"When I was teaching them, I discovered that the two siblings were gifted, but I didn't know..."

As he spoke, Tang Ciyun smiled and shook his head in disbelief: "It turns out that it's not just talent, but blood..."

Ran Qingxuan's mood was very complicated. The experiences of the brother and sister were not much different from Qi Mingjing's. They were both dragons and phoenixes who fell into a mountain nest.

The He brothers and sisters have legitimate reasons to soar to the sky, but Qi Mingjing...

"Ah..." Ran Qingxuan lowered her head and sighed deeply. Tang Ciyun thought she was also lamenting the complicated identities of the siblings...

The sound of footsteps outside was getting closer and closer, and He Qingqing brought her brother He Qingtuo into the reception hall.

The girl knew nothing, and there was a joyful smile on her face: "Sister Ran, my brother and I are coming over!"

He Qingtuo was much calmer than his sister. He politely bowed to everyone: "Sister Ran, Brother Gu."

Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and stood up: "Qingqing, Qingtuo, follow me."

She led the brother and sister towards the medicinal garden at the foot of the mountain. Gu Yanchen glanced at Tang Ciyu, and the old man understood and stayed where he was and did not follow.

The morning light penetrated the mist, gilding the herbs. Ran Qingxuan stopped in front of a blooming peony and turned to face the two young men.

"Qingqing, Qingtuo, this time your elder brother Gu and I came to the Divine Doctor Sect specifically to look for you and your brother!"

Her voice was trembling, but she was still very firm: "What I am going to say next may change your life. I hope you can be mentally prepared!"

He Qingqing twisted her clothes anxiously when she heard that. He Qingtuo felt better and straightened his back and said, "Sister Ran, please speak."

"Actually, you...you are not children from ordinary families." There was no way to take back the words once they were spoken. Ran Qingxuan looked straight into their eyes and spoke slowly.

"Your grandfather, He Fanxiong, is actually the late emperor of Blue Rain Country, He Chengxuan's elder brother, and you..."

She paused, then continued: "Your true identities are actually the legitimate princess and prince of Blue Rain Country..."

The mountain wind suddenly stopped at this moment, and even the chirping of insects and birds seemed to have disappeared.

He Qingqing's eyes widened, her lips trembling: "What...what? What princess...prince..."

After saying that, he smiled awkwardly: "Heh... Hey, it's impossible... We... It's impossible..."

"Impossible!" He Qingtuo interrupted harshly, his fists clenched until they turned white.

"My grandfather and parents are just ordinary people, nothing at all... not at all!"

"That's because your grandfather concealed his true identity in order to protect you youngsters." Gu Yanchen said in a deep voice.

"Blue Rain Emperor He Chengxuan is your second uncle. Your grandfather did not tell you about the trial in order to avoid the murderous hands of those people in Blue Rain."

He Qingqing, who was standing nearby, suddenly covered her ears and shook her head in despair: "I don't believe it! You are lying to me!"

Just as she turned around and tried to escape from reality, she was grabbed by Ran Qingxuan.

Because He Qingqing rushed too fast, Ran Qingxuan almost fell when he pulled her.

Gu Yanchen was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He Qingqing was worried about Ran Qingxuan, so she stopped immediately.

"I'm sorry Sister Ran, I didn't mean it..."

"fine."

Ran Qingxuan broke free from Gu Yanchen's arms and gave him a comforting look.

"Don't worry, I'm fine..." Gu Yanchen frowned and then let go of her hand.

Ran Qingxuan took out a letter and a slightly worn jade pendant from his cloth bag.

"This is the jade pendant and letter that your grandfather asked us to bring to you and your brother before Lan Yu left, to prove that what we said is true."

The jade pendant shone with a warm luster in the morning light, and the patterns on it looked lifelike. He Qingqing took the jade pendant and the letter, and the brother and sister quickly unfolded the letter.

After a moment, tears fell on the letter paper: "If that's the case, then why...why did you tell us now?"

"Because Balanch is dead."

Gu Yanchen explained: "Blue Rain Country has been controlled by Balanch. In order to cultivate a Gu that is strong enough to shake the surrounding countries, the people of the entire Blue Rain are living in dire straits.

Now that the perpetrators are gone, your grandfather will temporarily take over the government, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day..."

He Qingtuo suddenly punched the tree trunk next to him, and blood immediately seeped out of his knuckles.

"So we should give up everything here and become the crown prince?"

The boy's eyes were filled with anger: "We don't even know which direction the palace gate opens. We don't have the ability to do that..."

“Qingtuo!” Ran Qingxuan pulled up his bleeding hand and said as he treated it, “Your grandfather said that you could recognize a thousand characters at the age of three, and you would be eligible to take the Tongsheng exam at the age of seven.

This intelligence is in your blood and you can't get rid of it, and this ability is exactly what the people of Blue Rain need.

They are the people of Blue Rain, but as it stands now, they are also the people of your He family! ”

He Qingqing slowly approached Ran Qingxuan, gently leaned in her arms, and burst into tears: "I don't want to be a princess... I just want to be He Qingqing of the Divine Doctor Sect..."

He Qingtuo looked at his sister's trembling back, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

He turned to look at Gu Yanchen: "Lan Yu...is it bad now?"

Gu Yanchen nodded: "Ballanhe has manipulated He Chengxuan, who has been dead for more than 40 years, and has already regarded himself as the emperor.

Not only did he use living people to make Gu, imprison loyal ministers, but he even killed thousands of children just to make a Gu...

Although Blue Rain has a senior in charge now, if there is no legitimate successor..."

"I understand." He Qingtuo interrupted him, his voice unusually calm.

He walked to He Qingqing and patted her back gently: "Sister, don't cry."

He Qingqing turned around and wiped her face. After seeing the look in He Qingtuo's eyes, she was stunned: "Brother..."

The young man looked at the rolling hills in the distance, the sunlight gilding his young features: "Sister, remember that Grandfather often called me away to teach me privately?

At that time, we just thought he was old and confused, but he actually taught me how to govern a country. We didn’t expect that…”

He Qingtuo smiled bitterly and turned to look at Ran Qingxuan: "If the people of Blue Rain really need us..."

"Qingtuo!" He Qingqing grabbed her brother's hand in panic, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.

"Are you really going..."

He Qingtuo held his sister's hand with such strength that He Qingqing saw his determination.

"Sister, this is not a choice, it's a responsibility."

Although he is very young, his eyes sparkle with a determination that does not match his age.

"We can't eliminate the bloodline in our bodies, nor can we sever our relationship with our grandfather!"

Ran Qingxuan was in a complicated mood. She seemed to see the shadow of He Fanxiong in He Qingtuo...
