Chapter 346 Entering the Xujia Gate
Tao Zi heard her cousin Jiao'er's kind reminder and silently apologized to the little fox in her heart. She turned to look at Cheng Wuchou and said, "What did the Heavenly Dao deceive you about?"
"My sister." His expression was particularly grim. "We once suffered a disaster that wiped out our entire family. The investigation showed that it was another sect that coveted something in our possession. But after you reminded me that day, I went back and re-investigated."
Tao Zi asked, "Is it an alien race?"
He took a deep breath, shook his head, and tried to make his voice calm: "It is the way of heaven."
The four of them were shocked: "How could it be?!"
Cheng Wuchou smiled bitterly and said, "I find it incredible too, but this is the truth."
He simply explained the matter.
The Xujia Sect specially went to capture the survivors of those sects, and learned one thing under torture: they took action because they calculated that the Cheng family would destroy their sect.
Tao Zi shuddered and asked, "If they don't take action against the Cheng family, will the Cheng family take action against them?"
"Absolutely not. The Cheng family didn't have the time to attack a distant sect. Moreover, at that time, the Cheng family was just a small family and not at all conspicuous."
Zhao Xue murmured, "That's not right. In this case, doesn't the Way of Heaven constitute the cause?"
Tao Zi also felt something was wrong. She looked up at the sky and asked cautiously, "Do you think that the Heavenly Dao deliberately led them to attack the Cheng family?"
Cheng Wuchou's expression was extremely cruel: "I also thought it was impossible at first, until I found out about my sister."
"Um?"
"The other thing that sect predicted was about my sister. The original words were - this woman cannot be killed." At this point, his expression became increasingly cold. "Heaven is targeting my sister. It wants my sister to live, but it doesn't want us to recognize each other as siblings."
The more Han Yueshan listened, the more outrageous it seemed. He said, "Cheng Zhenjun, how is this possible? Are you kidding me?"
"I wish I were joking, but this was told to me by a Mahayana elder. In order to figure this out, he is now in a coma, and his cultivation will never improve in this lifetime."
Everyone on the boat, including a fox, fell silent. This sounded too incredible.
Tao Zi asked solemnly, "Master Cheng, what is there to gain from the Cheng family? Or is there something special about your sister?"
Cheng Wuchou remained silent for a long time before answering, "There are some things I can't say."
"Sorry for being so talkative."
He shook his head: "No problem."
Tao Zi continued to ask: "Where are we going on this trip?"
"Asahi Kamon."
She frowned, but said nothing more.
When they arrived at Xujiamen, Xi Jing glanced at the familiar place and almost burst into tears: "Senior Sister, look at that street. It was on that street that I was cheated and almost sold. And that street, I used to come here often to sell peaches."
Cheng Wuchou looked at her again, and Tao Zi was a little amused.
Cheng Wuchou led them into the long street where Xujia Gate was located, and the journey was smooth.
Tao Zi saw the familiar palace. To her surprise, he did not lead them there, but opened a secret passage.
She was startled. This secret passage to the torture chamber had never been discovered before, which showed how hidden it was.
"Master Cheng is quite trusted by Xujiamen."
Cheng Wuchou lowered his eyes and said, "They don't trust me, they trust the Cheng family."
When they reached the exit, Tao Zi followed Cheng Wuchou into a garden. She glanced cautiously around and suddenly paused. Why did the layout here look so familiar? It seemed like she had seen it somewhere before.
It didn't take her long to remember. It was the Xulan Palace! The garden where the master of Xulan Palace lived was exactly like this.
Tao Zi's vigilance was at its highest. She glanced at Han Yueshan. Han Yueshan consciously slowed down his pace and followed behind his junior brothers and sisters, surrounding them in the middle.
