After a moment of silence, Wang Yang asked:
"Haitang, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Shangguan Haitang took a deep breath and replied:
"Alliance Leader, if you know everything, you must also know about my background, right?"
"Um?"
Wang Yang frowned, his face showing deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he then spoke:
"Your original surname wasn't Shangguan, it was Hai, right?"
"His entire family was killed by bandits when he was young. He survived by sheer luck amidst a pile of corpses and was rescued by the Iron-Blooded Marquis."
"To escape her enemies, she changed her surname to Shangguan and was adopted by the Iron-Blooded Marquis as his goddaughter and became a disciple of the Traceless Young Master."
At this point, Wang Yang shifted his gaze, looking directly at Shangguan Haitang, and continued:
Is there anything wrong with what I said?
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked back at Wang Yang.
She stayed by Wang Yang's side the whole way.
She was quite certain that Wang Yang simply didn't have time to investigate her further.
But right now, she can clearly tell you about her background and origins.
"call!"
Shocked, Shangguan Haitang let out a long sigh before speaking:
"Could...could you tell me about my godfather, Zhu Wushi?"
Earlier, after Wang Yang killed Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, he had thought of telling Shangguan Haitang about his true nature.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Haitang simply wouldn't listen.
Wang Yang never expected that Shangguan Haitang would take the initiative to ask him.
"You really want to know?"
After a slight pause, Wang Yang asked this question.
"Um!"
Shangguan Haitang nodded without thinking.
"If I told you, you wouldn't think I'm slandering you, would you?"
Wang Yang pressed for an answer.
I also keep it to myself.
Shangguan Haitang was extremely grateful to her adoptive father, Zhu Wushi.
That's why his killing of Zhu Wushi aroused Shangguan Haitang's hatred.
"As the leader of the alliance, he wouldn't slander others so carelessly, would he?"
Upon hearing what Wang Yang said, Shangguan Haitang responded with this statement.
Wang Yang smiled calmly, and without further suspense, spoke directly:
"Your godfather, Zhu Wushi, is a treacherous villain who appears loyal, and he has immense ambitions."
"He is very shrewd."
"In his youth, in order to win the heart of his beloved Su Xin, he ruthlessly killed 108 masters from the eight major martial arts sects in the Battle of Taihu Lake."
"And it absorbed all their power."
"In addition, he also framed Su Xin's fiancé, the undefeated rascal Gu Santong."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the bottom of the Great Ming Prison. Gu Santong was imprisoned there."
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Shangguan Haitang was completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief.
After all, in her memory, her adoptive father, Zhu Wushi, was an unparalleled man of loyalty and righteousness.
But judging from Wang Yang's words, he was actually a thoroughly treacherous and cunning person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"good."
"At that time, I will go to the bottom of the Great Ming Prison."
"Find Gu Santong and get to the bottom of this."
Shocked, Shangguan Haitang responded in this way.
Naturally, they wouldn't believe Wang Yang just because of this.
Since Gu Santong is imprisoned at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison, we can find him and ask him questions to find out the truth.
Wang Yang didn't seem to care, and smiled calmly, saying:
"If you're going to the bottom of the Heavenly Prison to find Gu Santong, then bring Cheng Shifei, the number one secret agent in the Yellow Division, with you as well."
"Um?"
Shangguan Haitang was taken aback by Wang Yang's sudden words.
Startled, she asked, with a puzzled look on her face, "Why?"
Wang Yang smiled slightly and didn't hide anything, saying directly, "Because Cheng Shifei is Gu Santong's biological son."
"What?"
Shangguan Haitang exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.
I never expected that Huang Zi No. 1, who was also one of the four secret agents, would become a troublemaker.
He was actually Gu Santong's son!
Wang Yang didn't seem to notice Shangguan Haitang's shock and continued:
"Zhu Wushi himself was a member of the imperial family."
"On the surface, they appear to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but in reality, they are secretly developing their own power through the Dragon Guard Manor."
"They inquired about the privacy of others and used this information to control the ten generals, intending to seize power."
At this point, Wang Yang paused slightly, glanced at the shocked Shangguan Haitang, and then added:
"If you don't believe this, you can go and ask those generals to verify it."
"Zhu Wushi's death was undoubtedly a relief for them, because they would no longer be subject to others."
"Of course, if you want to know the generals' private lives, I can tell you."
Shangguan Haitang was completely stunned by Wang Yang's words.
She never imagined that Zhu Wushi founded the Dragon Guard Manor to cultivate his own power.
They even plotted to seize power.
"Whoosh!"
After being stunned for a long time, Shangguan Haitang took a deep breath before speaking:
"I...I will investigate and find out everything."
Having said that, she slowly stood up and continued:
"It's getting late, Alliance Leader, you should get some rest!"
"I apologize for disturbing you tonight, Begonia."
Without waiting for Wang Yang's reply, Shangguan Haitang got up and left.
Watching Shangguan Haitang's departing figure, Wang Yang opened his mouth as if he had something else to say.
But she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He originally intended to tease Shangguan Haitang, but then felt that it was inappropriate to say anything funny at this time, so he gave up.
After Shangguan Haitang left, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
He could sense that Shangguan Haitang's attitude towards him was slowly changing.
"Once she finds out the truth, she probably won't hate me so much anymore, right?"
Wang Yang muttered something to himself, then composed himself and lay down on the bed to sleep.
On the other side, after leaving, Shangguan Haitang went straight back to her room.
"How could this be?"
"My godfather... he's actually that kind of person?"
"Have I been misunderstanding Wang Yang all along?"
"If my godfather is truly as he claims, a treacherous man disguised as a loyal one, then his death is well-deserved."
"But... my godfather did save my life after all."
"Or is it that they've been using me all along?"
For a moment, Shangguan Haitang's thoughts became chaotic.
As she pondered, she took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"We cannot just listen to his one-sided opinion."
"Didn't he say that Gu Santong was imprisoned at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison?"
"And those generals are also controlled by my adoptive father; these are all good points to investigate."
Shangguan Haitang made up her mind to investigate this matter thoroughly in the future.
At that time, she will naturally know whether Wang Yang was deceiving her or not.
After thinking it over, Shangguan Haitang calmed her chaotic thoughts a little and then went to rest.
The next morning, she got up early, tidied herself up, and then carried hot water and a towel to Wang Yang's room.
