Han Qing and Su Jin sat down again.
Han Qing briefly explained his relationship with Han Chuan.
By calculation, he is Han Chuan's grand-nephew, Han Chuan is his great-uncle, and his grandfather is Han Chuan's older brother.
Back then, Han Chuan suddenly disappeared without a trace. Later, the Lone Shadow Society was wiped out, and Han Chuan's father died in the siege. Han Chuan's brother, Han Shan, escaped with his wife and children and lived in hiding ever since.
They did not settle down in Tianyang City until Han Qing became an official there.
Now, Han Shan has passed away, and only Han Qing, his parents, and some servants remain of the Han family.
"Where did you get your internal energy?" Su Jinxia asked. Han Qing had profound internal energy, and his situation was somewhat similar to Su Jinxia's.
Han Qing remained silent, because it involved the secrets of the Lone Shadow Society, and he had no intention of revealing everything.
"It's your turn to speak. What's your relationship with Han Chuan?" Han Qing asked in return.
Su Jin smiled and relaxed.
Having confirmed that Han Qing was a member of the Lone Shadow Society, Su Jin had nothing left to hide.
Su Jin took out the Young Master's Token and explained her relationship with Han Chuan, which also explained why Han Chuan had been missing for many years.
"It's Phoenix Pavilion!" Han Qing's face showed a hint of anger, and his hand on the table clenched tightly with rage. "When Grandpa was dying, he was still worried about Uncle's whereabouts, not knowing if he was still alive. He died with resentment in his heart."
Su Jin sighed, "I can return the Lone Shadow Token to you. Take it back to pay respects to him. If he has a spirit in heaven, it will be a satisfactory explanation."
Han Qing picked up the Lone Shadow Token and gently stroked it, his gaze filled with sorrow. After looking at it for a long time, he put the token back. "Your uncle is the young master of the Lone Shadow Society. He passed on his internal energy to you and gave you the Young Master Token. So you are the young master of the Lone Shadow Society!"
Young Master of the Lone Shadow Society!
Su Jin pondered these words, then gently raised her eyes, "But the Lone Shadow Society is gone, isn't it? What use is this Lone Shadow Token then?"
Moreover, Han Chuan probably had no other choice, which is why he entrusted the Lone Shadow Token to Su Jin.
Han Qing's chest heaved, annoyed by Su Jinxia's denial of the Lonely Shadow Society, yet he couldn't refute it.
Yes, Gu Ying's entire family was wiped out. Decades have passed, and the revenge for the massacre remains unavenged; he has not been able to rise again!
Han Qing's face was full of stubbornness and defiance.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite satisfied.
Su Jinxia ultimately owed Han Chuan a life. Now that she had truly found the Lonely Shadow Society and his descendants, how could she abandon them?
However, how to manage it requires careful consideration.
"I have two questions for you, and you must answer them truthfully!" Su Jin pursed her lips, her expression serious and earnest.
Han Chuan raised his eyes and said, "Go on."
"First, is the Lone Shadow Society truly without anyone left? Have you done nothing all these years?"
Han Qing remained silent; he didn't trust Su Jin enough to reveal all the details.
Su Jin chuckled lightly, "You just said I was the young master of the Lone Shadow Society, but you wouldn't tell me anything. It seems you weren't sincere at all."
Han Qing clenched his fist. "Rules are rules. You have the Young Master's Order personally passed down by your uncle, so you are naturally the Young Master of the Lone Shadow Society. But who are you? Can you shoulder this responsibility? Are you loyal to our Lone Shadow Society? I have no idea. Is it a bit unreasonable to expect me to trust you like this?"
Su Jin nodded and said, "Well said."
“Since there’s no trust, it seems we have nothing to talk about.” Su Jin stood up resolutely.
"etc!"
Han Qing hurriedly got up to stop her; he never expected Su Jin to be so resolute.
Su Jin smiled as she looked at him.
Han Qing used the young master's order as bait, hoping to get Su Jin to reveal his identity, and then consider where to place Su Jin.
But Su Jin's identity is not so easily concealed.
Han Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I admit that you are stronger than me and have the potential to become the young master of the Lone Shadow Society. How about this, you come back to Tianyang City with me. If everyone in the Han family approves of you, we will definitely tell you everything we know."
Su Jinxia's starry eyes softened with a faint smile. She gently sat back down, tossing the Young Master's Token in her hand. "You seem to think I really want to be the Young Master of the Lone Shadow Society?"
Han Qing's face stiffened.
The Lone Shadow Society is considered a cult by the world. Once discovered, it will be attacked by the masses, and everyone will avoid it like the plague.
Han Qing's face flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell. He took a deep breath and said sternly, "Even if the Lone Shadow Society has fallen to such a state, we still have backbone. Even if no one in our Lone Shadow Society is willing to be the young master, we will not just find someone to fill the position and dishonor our own integrity."
As he spoke, Han Qing lifted his robe and sat down, giving off an air of "I barely respect you."
Su Jin smiled calmly. She really didn't want to deal with the mess left by the Lonely Shadow Society, but what could she do when she owed Han Chuan her life?
Moreover, although the lone figure may fade away, as long as the difficulties are overcome, there may still be a bright future.
"You haven't answered my second question yet?" Su Jin asked softly.
Han Qing licked his lips. He had to admit that he found Su Jinxia very difficult to deal with. In his conversation with Su Jinxia, he had been at a disadvantage the whole time, and he was really just putting on a brave face.
"You say it!" he said, though his voice remained firm.
Su Jinxia had noticed all of Han Qing's subtle changes. It was impressive that he could remain calm in the face of danger, confront Su Jinxia, and fight for his own interests.
"My question is, is the massacre of the village true?"
Su Jinxia may not care about the debate between good and evil in the martial arts world, but she must be clear about right and wrong herself.
When this matter was mentioned, Han Qing was heartbroken. It was the direct cause of the extermination of the Lonely Shadow Society. Although he did not live through that era, he witnessed the suffering of his elders every day.
