"It's just the past, what's there to talk about?" Qian Yue said indifferently.
"It's a past event... then why are you suddenly bringing it up again now?" Su Luoyin looked at him without blinking, trying to find any change in his emotions from his face, but from beginning to end, he had a faint expression, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
"I just... want you to know." Qian Yue held her hand tightly, and the light in his eyes suddenly penetrated into her heart and could not calm down for a long time.
"Actually, my eyes aren't like that." Qian Yue's voice was steady and quiet, carrying a kind of intoxicating power, even though what he said was so cruel and sad...
"A hundred years ago, Shenghan Mountain was far less powerful than it is today. It was just a ragtag group of so-called justice-loving people, led by Kui Shun, with Wu Zhuo and Dao Song also presiding over it."
"Among the teams recognized as evil at the time, the Jun family was the most powerful."
"I have been raised in the Jun family since I became conscious. It is said that I was a stray child picked up by the then head of the family on the street. He brought me back to the Jun family because he saw that I possessed a rare ability to cultivate."
"I don't remember how I grew up, or who my parents were. All I wanted before was to live a good life, free from the cold, beatings, and hunger every day. So, ever since I came to the Jun family, all I wanted to do was survive and repay this family that changed my life."
"So, I practiced even more diligently, and my spiritual power increased day by day, without any help from any spiritual practitioners. Finally, the then-head of the family took notice of me. He promised me a higher position and occasionally taught me spiritual arts personally. Finally, he made me the head of the family guards, which was the highest honor in the Jun family at the time."
"Everything was going too smoothly for me at the time. So, enjoying all this, I worked even harder and was extremely careful, but in the end, I attracted the attention of the Young Master of the Jun Family."
Hearing this, Su Luoyin keenly realized that this was the real turning point in Qian Yue's life, "That young master of the Jun family...did he give you a hard time?"
"Difficult?" Qian Yue scoffed, a look of deep disgust on his face. "As a guard at the time, I enjoyed the patriarch's trust. He ordered me to guard the family's most valuable treasure, the ancient jade fragment."
Ancient jade fragments! Those scattered four pieces of ancient jade? The same piece Qian Yue was carrying now? Su Luoyin was secretly shocked when he heard this, but he didn't show it.
"So the young master of the Jun family used a trick to get me out of the way, took the ancient jade for himself, and put the blame on me."
"The Jun family's Patriarch was furious. I had no way of defending myself, but I secretly knew what was going on."
"Then, have you told the truth to the head of the Jun family? Does he believe you?" Su Luoyin asked without blinking, obviously immersed in the story he was telling.
"Believe it?" Qian Yue showed an extremely sarcastic smile and closed his eyes tightly.
"He knew who did it the whole time."
"What! Then you..." Su Luoyin was shocked.
"The young master of the Jun family is a naughty young master from an aristocratic family. His methods are not very sophisticated. A little investigation can reveal the truth. But he resolutely handed me over to the young master of the Jun family for disposal."
"He threw me into the deepest dungeon of the Daojun family and destroyed all my cultivation. He burned my entire body with the Jun family's underworld fire every day, making me live a life worse than death."
