I could tell that your mother's ambitions lay not in the capital, or rather, that she did not belong to Earth and that her origins were extremely mysterious, so I did not pursue her any further.
But Ye Huangchao did not give up. Even though your mother didn't like him, he didn't want to give up. But what I didn't expect was that Ye Huangchao came up with a sinister trick. He took advantage of your mother's trust in him and drugged her.
The next day, fearing retribution from your mother, Ye Huangchao disappeared for two months.
When your mother discovered she was pregnant, she also brought Ye Huangchao to light. He initially wanted to kill Ye Huangchao, but considering that she would be leaving in the future, he restrained himself and negotiated with Ye Huangchao. She agreed not to kill him, but in return, he would take on the responsibilities of a father and take good care of you. Ye Huangchao readily agreed.
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Xia Zhu's eyes.
Ye Qiu clenched his fists.
After taking a deep breath, Xia Zhu continued, "Later, when you were born, your mother also couldn't resist the call from some mysterious power and had to leave. I heard her say that her home was in the outer cultivation world, but I don't know exactly where it is because I'm not at a high enough level."
When she left, she tried to take you with her, but the heavens were terrifying, and you might not survive if she took you. Helpless, she could only hand you over to Ye Huangchao as agreed before leaving.
I thought that since you were at least Ye Huangchao's biological son, he would treat you well. But at this time, Ye Huangchao and Princess Yanrui got together. When I found out, Yanrui was already five months pregnant.
Yan Rui is the daughter of my royal uncle. She has a ruthless personality and he doesn't want to see you. Ye Huangchao also doesn't want to take you as a burden. He and Yan Rui discussed getting rid of you. At that time, I gave the order that no matter what happens to you, Ye Huangchao and Yan Rui would be held responsible and must be executed. That's how I suppressed Yan Rui's murderous intent.
Seeing that they had no other way to make you disappear, Ye Huangchao and Yan Rui decided to send you to the Ye clan in Qianzhou. By the way, your grandfather in the Qianzhou Ye clan knew the truth because he had followed your mother. Ye Huangchao was actually from the Qianzhou Ye clan. His father was your grandfather's brother, but he died young and you never met him.
Since marrying Yan Rui, Ye Huangchao has never returned. In fact, when the Ye clan in Qianzhou was wiped out that year, I even suspected that Ye Huangchao was behind it all, wanting to kill all those who knew and bury the past forever.
He just hadn't expected that the celestial being from Zulong Mountain had been secretly watching you for eighteen years. The moment the Ye family was in trouble, he rushed to the scene and rescued you.
Having heard this far-fetched truth, Ye Qiu now understood.
Even with the hardest heart, Ye Qiu couldn't help but tear up at this moment.
It turns out that everything, including the appearance of the master, was not accidental.
So this is what my biological father is like.
Ye Qiu was extremely disappointed!
"Lord Xia, what signs indicate that Ye Huangchao might be the culprit behind the extermination of the Ye clan in Qianzhou?"
Ye Qiu asked in a deep voice.
"There is no evidence for this yet, but he definitely got involved. I have found out that the dozen or so Grandmasters who escorted the Eight Desolations Map to the Southern Border for Zhou Ziling were killed by Ye Huangchao, and the Eight Desolations Map was also stolen by Ye Huangchao."
Besides, I had someone secretly investigate. Several families in Qianzhou who participated in the extermination of the Ye family received huge sums of money from dubious sources. The person who transferred the money to them was a wealthy merchant under Ye Huangchao, which inevitably raises suspicion.
"Then, is it possible that Zhou Ziling is the culprit?" Ye Qiu asked.
“Zhou Ziling?” After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhu said seriously, “Zhou Ziling only wants the Eight Desolations Map. Given his temperament, he shouldn’t do something like exterminating a clan, but I can’t be sure. It all needs to be verified.”
"Understood."
Ye Qiu already had an idea in mind.
"Ah, time flies. You're already twenty-three, almost twenty-four, right? Your mother would be very happy to see how much you've grown."
"The Lord of Xia said softly."
"My mother, what's her name?" Ye Qiu's voice was a little hoarse.
“Come here. Your mother left you a sword, telling me to give it to you when you grow up. Her name is on the sword.”
Xia Zhu got up, walked to the corner of the study, and opened a long golden chest that was locked with nine layers of locks.
Ye Qiu stared intently at the box, his body trembling slightly.
As the locks were opened layer by layer, the sword inside the box was finally revealed.
The sword is about six inches wide, and its entire body is purple-gold, covered with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura.
The three characters 'Luo Qingxue' are prominently displayed on the hilt of the sword.
Luo Qingxue...
Ye Qiu silently recited the name in his heart, a mix of overwhelming sorrow and hope swirling within him.
