Chapter 458: Ancestors' Story



Chu Younan warned Xianren with his eyes that he had finally calmed the crazy old man down and he should not irritate him again.

Yun Xi also pinched his waist and gave him a fierce look.

Xianren felt wronged, but could only remain silent.

There was silence all around, as if after waiting for a long time, a black dot appeared at the end of the snowfield. In just a blink of an eye, the black dot grew several times larger. It turned out to be a person.

Judging from the gait, it should be Yao Meng.

The strange thing was that although he clearly didn't know any martial arts, he was able to move very quickly and was close to the people in just a few breaths.

He looked Xianren up and down, then said with disgust, "Sure enough, he's exactly like your father! So careless!"

Xianren really wanted to curse his father, but he held it back. Only his tightly pursed lips revealed his dissatisfaction.

Yao Meng looked at him with disgust several times, and then said: "Although I really want to kill you, I promised your aunt not to harm the descendants of the Xian family. This is a bargain for you! Go ahead, just keep walking north and you will be able to get out!"

After he said that, he turned and left.

"Where is Yun Rou? What did you do to her?" Yun Xi asked anxiously.

Yao Meng didn't even turn his head, "She's fine, it's better to let her stay away from this bastard!"

After saying this, he disappeared as quickly as he came.

Although they knew how to get out, no one left because they were all worried about Yun Rou's safety.

Chu Younan said, "Let's go. Yun Rou really doesn't want to leave. Let's go out first."

Others were puzzled, but Su Bei said, "Let's go out first, that old man shouldn't hurt Yun Rou."

She knew that Chu Younan heard Yun Rou's thoughts.

Heading north, soon the snowfields faded and the mountains and forests appeared.

Xianren obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now. As soon as he saw Shanlin, he couldn't wait to ask: "What did he say about my father? What about the descendants of the Xian family? Could it be that I am really his descendant?"

Chu Younan glanced at him, found a place for them to sit down, and then spoke.

"Many years ago, he fell in love with a princess from Xian Kingdom, but the king of Xian at that time wanted the princess to marry someone from another kingdom, so they had to elope..."

At that time, they came to this forest, intending to live in seclusion here for the rest of their lives. The people from Xian Country did not catch up with them for a while, so they lived a carefree life here.

But later, someone came from Xian country. He was the princess's brother. At that time, he was the prince who had the greatest hope of ascending the throne.

Chu Younan sighed softly, "Yao Meng thought that the prince was here to capture the princess, so he wanted to kill the prince. However, since he didn't know martial arts, he planned to kill the prince secretly in the middle of the night. But he didn't know that although the prince and the princess were not born of the same mother, they had a good relationship since childhood. So after the princess learned of his plan, she informed the prince and let him go first..."

"As fate would have it, Yao Meng accidentally injured the princess when he attacked the prince. The prince thought that this man had a violent temper and that the princess would not be happy with him, so he wanted to take the princess away. During the chase, the prince and the princess fell off a cliff. Yao Meng desperately tried to find them, but when he found them, he discovered that the princess's clothes were in disarray, and that the two seemed to have done something shameful..."

"Yao Meng killed the princess and the prince in a rage, but he himself was unable to resolve the knot in his heart, and locked himself up here for more than sixty years..."

Chu Younan finished speaking and slowly exhaled, "I guess, it's possible that the two of them encountered some situation at that time, it shouldn't be that the two of them were just having an affair..."

"Yes, the princess had a secret affair with her brother, so why did she elope with him?" Su Bei said angrily, "This old man is too paranoid!"

"If he wasn't paranoid, how could he lock himself up here for more than sixty years..." Yun Xi finally realized what was happening after she finished speaking. She was instantly dumbfounded, "No way? More than sixty years? That means he must be over seventy years old?!"

No wonder she was so surprised. Su Bei had never seen anyone over 60 years old here. After all, the medical conditions were not good and the living conditions were not very good. Those who could live over 60 were considered long-lived.

Xianren, who was usually carefree, was very abnormal today. He frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "This story... I seem to have seen it somewhere!"

"Where?!" Everyone looked at him.

"In my study..." Xianren looked embarrassed, "It's a handwritten letter left by one of my ancestors..."

It seems that Yao Meng did not wrongly accuse Xianren, but he just wondered if his ancestor was really careless...

Everyone has seen Yao Meng's method of setting up the formation, so it is almost certain that the so-called treasure should be him.

Although the world is temporarily peaceful, the Northland and the Wu Kingdom have formed a feud, and Xianren surrendered the last time the Northland’s 300,000 troops. I’m afraid Bei Yanming has already held a grudge.

It’s not a bad thing to have such a strange person to assist you.

So Chu Younan decided to go back first and take a look at the handwriting of Xianren’s ancestor.

Xianren's study was very big and had many books. No one knew where he had thrown the handwritten book, and several people spent a whole day looking through it.

"At that time, I thought it was some kind of storybook, and I wondered who was so bored to write this thing, so I don't know where I lost it..." Xianren laughed awkwardly and took out a dusty booklet from the corner.

Chu Younan opened it and read it carefully.

Su Bei also came close to him, and they both sighed as they read.

After a while, the two put down their books, and Su Bei sighed, "What a pity! If Yao Meng hadn't been so arbitrary, there wouldn't be such a tragic story..."

What was written in the handwriting was somewhat similar to what Chu Younan said, but not exactly the same.

Judging from the font size, the handwriting was written by two people. The characters in the front are majestic and should have been written by a man, while the characters in the back are gentle and should have been written by a woman.

The princess and the prince had a very good relationship, as close as siblings, so after the princess ran away, the prince was always worried about her life and planned to take some money to help her. But before he left, he accidentally heard that his father had found out the princess's whereabouts and planned to send someone to bring her back.

So the prince set out at night to find the princess before his father's men arrived.

The handwriting at the back is a woman's.

She wrote about her longing for her husband, and also wrote about some things she heard indirectly about the princess.

"I heard that my sister has a problem with shortness of breath. When she has an attack, she has to loosen her collar, otherwise she will suffocate. I don't know if she is feeling better now..."

"The people sent by my father did not bring my sister back. I don't know whether the prince has found my sister, or...something happened to them..."

Judging from what the woman wrote, the princess and the prince were probably suffering from asthma when they were in the cave, and the prince loosened her collar...

In other words, Yao Meng killed two people by mistake.

The only bit of sympathy Su Bei had for the old man was gone. She now just wanted to throw the letter in the old man's face and make him spend the rest of his life in regret!

However, at the end of the handwritten letter, the woman also wrote: "The prince said that Yao Meng is a rare genius in a thousand years. I hope he can put his knowledge into practice and meet someone who appreciates him..."
