Su Jin slowly got to the point.
"I was separated from Shen Qianxue due to some unforeseen circumstances and returned to Phoenix Pavilion injured. However, the fact that Phoenix Pavilion was involved in the massacre of the Lone Shadow Society has been exposed in the martial arts world. Therefore, I need to know the truth about what happened back then in order to deal with the situation ahead and ensure that Qianxue has no worries outside. Please tell me the truth, Third Master."
Master Shen didn't care much about the affairs of the martial arts world, but he had heard about the recent situation to some extent. In particular, when Shen Qianxue asked him about the truth of what happened back then, he felt strange and inquired about it.
The situation is indeed serious.
"How far have you and Qianxue progressed?" Shen Wenmao still refused to easily believe Su Jinxia.
Su Jin smiled gently, slightly shyly: "He has already proposed to me."
Shen Wenmao was shocked; things had come to this.
But it's good that he proposed. We can get married sooner, have children sooner, and have many big, healthy grandchildren and nephews.
The Phoenix Pavilion has only had one son per generation for two generations, resulting in a very small family.
Thinking of this, Shen Wenmao's gaze towards Su Jinxia became much more friendly.
He sat down, reminiscing about the events of that year, feeling both deeply moved and saddened.
Back then, it was Qianxue's grandfather, Shen Zhenyu, who was in charge of the family. The Xia family and the Shen family had some connections, but not many.
Phoenix Pavilion and the newly established Lone Shadow Society were not originally familiar with each other, but because Shen Zhenyu's sister Shen Shuangshuang and Lone Shadow Society's young master Han Chuan were in love, they had some contact.
I remember that Shen Zhenyu was firmly against the marriage at the time.
Because the Han family's foundation was not deep, yet they were too prominent, attracting the covetous eyes of countless people, Shen Zhenyu did not want Shen Shuangshuang to marry into the family and end up in a state of constant unease.
Although Shen Shuangshuang was unwilling, she dared not disobey her brother, so she just dragged it out.
However, this balance was broken after Shen Qianxue's father, Shen Fang, was born.
Shen Fang was born with a deficiency and would not live long. He needed a treasure to save his life, and this treasure happened to be in the Xia family.
The Xia family used this as a pretext to ask Shen Zhenyu to find a way to deal with Han Chuan, who was known as a genius.
Shen Zhenyu did not want to cause any more deaths, but he was also unwilling to give up Shen Fang's life, so he used Shen Shuangshuang as bait to lure Han Chuan into the mountain-protecting formation.
Han Chuan, young and impetuous, entered the Phoenix Pavilion's protective array on his own.
Shen Zhenyu felt that Han Chuan was deeply in love with Shen Shuangshuang and had intended for the two of them to be together.
Unexpectedly, the Xia family harbored wolfish ambitions, massacring the village and framing the Lone Shadow Society. They quickly united with other sects to wipe out the Lone Shadow Society.
Shen Shuangshuang tragically died while trying to help Han Chuan break through the formation.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Overwhelmed with grief, Shen Zhenyu dared not let Han Chuan leave, nor did he kill him. Instead, he chose to reinforce the formation, keeping Han Chuan forever within the mountain-protecting array.
Shen Zhenyu was also tired of the endless entanglements in the martial arts world, so he chose to gradually withdraw Phoenix Pavilion from the martial arts world.
That's how it is. Su Jin listened quietly until the end, then took her leave.
Han Qing silently followed her away.
The two returned to Han Qing's residence.
"What do you think?" Su Jin asked calmly.
Han Qing sat silently on the steps in front of the house.
He simply couldn't swallow this insult.
Ultimately, Phoenix Pavilion's intervention indirectly led to, or accelerated, the demise of Lone Shadow Society.
Moreover, did Shen Zhenyu really not realize that the Xia family intended to wipe out the Guying Society?
uncertain!
Master Shen may not be telling the truth; he is definitely biased towards Phoenix Pavilion.
Perhaps Shen Zhenyu saw through the Xia family's intentions, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
After all, Phoenix Pavilion also benefited, as Shen Zhenyu traded the survival of Lonely Shadow Society for his own son's life.
Thinking of this, Han Qing was furious and clenched his fists tightly.
There are hundreds of people at the Lonely Shadows Club!
Han Qing cried out in anguish, "Shouldn't I hate it? Even if I don't hate it, what about my father and mother? How much pain have they suffered because of this!"
Su Jin sighed softly, "It's something to hate. I don't want to argue about what Phoenix Pavilion did back then. It's obvious that Shen Zhenyu had selfish motives, but he lost his own sister, he lost Phoenix Pavilion's influence in the martial arts world, and most importantly, he's long dead!"
"Back then, most of the martial arts sects in the southeast participated in that massacre. Countless sects have the blood of the Han family on their hands. Are you going to wipe them all out one by one? Or take revenge on their descendants?"
"When will this cycle of revenge end? As the young master of the Lone Shadow Society, I have already brought down the culprit Xia family, and I will certainly make the Lone Shadow Society see the light of day again. But how to avenge the Han family is the Han family's business! I have said all I have to say. Think it over yourself."
Su Jin clasped her hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.
Han Qing suddenly spoke up, "If I insist on taking revenge on Phoenix Pavilion, will you become my enemy?"
Without turning around, Su Jin replied without the slightest hesitation, "Yes!"
Han Qing suddenly stood up, her emotions running high. "But what about your identity? Aren't you and him enemies?"
The Lord of Glass and the Lord of Wind each operate in their own camp and are natural enemies.
"This is between him and me," Su Jin murmured softly, not wanting to explain further, and quickly left.
Han Qing swayed slightly. He didn't understand why Su Jinxia was so resolute in everything, unlike him, who was always hesitant and indecisive.
In fact, Han Qing had never personally experienced the hatred from the Han family, so he was able to let it go.
His dilemma stemmed from the fear that his parents wouldn't be able to let go, so he dared not easily say he didn't hate them.
Su Jin returned to Tingyu Tower, took off her outer garment, snuggled back into the warm quilt, and her hand naturally touched the wood and carving knife at the corner of the bed.
She paused slightly, a faint sadness and worry welling up in her eyes.
She wasn't worried about Han Qing.
Although the Han family carries the burden of hatred, they are kind-hearted and will let it go.
Even if you gave them a knife and made them stab each and every one of the sects to death, they still couldn't bring themselves to do it.
