Chapter 439: Estrangement (3)
Tao Zi's face grew increasingly stern as she recalled what happened two hundred years ago.
Seeing that she was about to lose control of her temper, Qiu Xuanhuan immediately said, "It might have happened within the past hundred years. At that time, Ah Zi was under control and would not have paid attention to these things."
As he spoke, he asked Lan Yongji for the specific time.
He only replied, "My senior brother told me when I was four or five years old."
Tao Zi finally couldn't help but overturn the only table in the room, and several insects were frightened and crawled and flew away to hide in the corner.
Four or five years old... Cheng Wuchou was a little unsure of his sister's age at that time, so he could only ask: "A Zi, how old were you then?"
She said in a cold voice, "About fifteen years old."
At that time, her master had disappeared and she had just reached the foundation-building stage. She did not dare to take out the things her master had given her, for fear that they would be snatched away by others.
At the beginning, I could use some spiritual energy to help mortals do some things in exchange for food, so as to feed those three ungrateful people who were waiting for food.
But the disaster soon came. She struggled to survive and find food. Her life was probably worse than those ordinary people with some family background. Under such difficult conditions, who would have thought that Xu Qianjia would call her "senior sister" sweetly in public but stab her in the back in private?
Tao Zi took a deep breath and said, "I originally thought these people went astray later on, but I never expected that they weren't worthy of being human from the beginning."
Shaohua fell silent, and finally spoke from the bottom of his heart, "Xu Qianjia was only about eleven or twelve at that time, right? He was truly evil to the core. No wonder he was able to step on you to get to the top. But you've made a profit today. Not only did you alienate them, but you also learned about the reason why Xu Qianjia alienated you in the first place."
Qiu Xuanhuan asked in confusion, "What does he want?"
Tao Zi replied with disgust: "Who knows?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Xu Qianjia was the first to take the lead in many things, but every time he was the one who knelt down to apologize first, and usually he looked like he cared about her, until Lian Qingzhou arrived.
He Qianyi and Lan Yongji, on the other hand, had remained stubbornly stubborn. Now that she thought about it, it was probably all connected to Xu Qianjia. It was ridiculous that she had been so blinded by this that she hadn't noticed.
No, maybe she had discovered it, otherwise she wouldn't have sought out Xing Zhan for training. It's a pity that the memory couldn't be recovered.
Tao Zi suppressed those thoughts and said coldly, "Lan Yongji is stupid, and Xu Qianjia is evil. I am lucky to have these two people as my junior brothers."
Qiu Xuanhuan whispered to comfort him, "Who could have imagined that a child of such age would be in such a situation?"
She closed her eyes, waved her hand, and said, "Keep asking. I'll go out and sort out my thoughts."
Tao Zi went straight outside to rest. Xiao Lizi noticed that she was in a bad mood and looked at her cautiously, not daring to speak.
Judging from the time, it should be during the time when Qinglan became the Heavenly Venerable that she discovered that something was wrong with Xu Qianjia, otherwise she would not have trained Xing Zhan so seriously. And Xing Zhan lost his memory and was poisoned by the heart poison after he came to Minglan Sect.
She was sorting out the timeline in her mind until Cheng Wuchou came out and called her with a serious face: "Azi, you'd better come in and listen."
Tao Zi's heart tightened and she walked in immediately, just in time to hear Lan Yongji's words.
"Problems arose with Yue Qiran about a hundred years ago. She was extremely kind to us at first, so kind that it was shocking."
Her expression gradually became serious.
Qiu Xuanhuan's tone was particularly incredulous: "You mean before that, Yue Qiran treated you badly?"
"She was good, but not without limits. Back then, she would still scold us, but after Xing Zhan showed up, she became increasingly perfunctory towards us, even too lazy to teach us. My senior brother said she might have given up on us. But a hundred years ago, overnight, she was like a completely different person, treating us better and better."
"Didn't you check the reason?"
Lan Yongji was stunned for three or four seconds before answering, "No."
Cheng Wuchou frowned, but Tao Zi was not surprised.
Qiu Xuanhuan asked, "Why don't you check?"
His voice became even flatter. "This won't do us any harm."
Qiu Xuanhuan became excited. "Just because it won't harm you, you're ignoring your senior sister's abnormal behavior? She's always been good to you. If you hadn't disappointed her time and time again, why would she give up on you?"
Tao Zi said, "Xuan Huan! Now is not the time to talk about this."
He suppressed his temper and continued to ask, "In the past hundred years, apart from Yue Qiran's abnormality, is there anything else wrong?"
Lan Yongji said a lot of random things, but none of them were useful.
Tao Zi patted Huan's shoulder, motioning him to move aside while she asked.
"Lan Yongji, when did you discover Yue Qiran's abnormality?"
Lan Yongji thought for a long time before answering, "Sometime when she came down from Xingfeng, she looked a little strange."
Tao Zi stared at him and asked the most crucial question: "Has Qinglan Tianzun come out of seclusion by then?"
"no."
Disgraceful... These four words suddenly flashed through Tao Zi's mind. It was possible that Qinglan had come out of seclusion countless times in private, but never let others notice.
After a moment of silence, Shaohua spoke up to remind him, "If you want to leave a mark, hurry up."
Tao Zi nodded, took a step forward, inserted the silver needle in her hand into his head, and whispered a few words in his ear.
When things were almost done, the three of them left and left the space to Shaohua.
Cheng Wuchou followed her silently, while Qiu Xuanhuan looked angry and started muttering.
Tao Zi was quite amused and said, "Don't you already know their nature? Why are you getting so excited?"
He said angrily, "There's a difference between knowing and hearing it with your own ears. What a load of rubbish! You shouldn't have saved them back then."
She let Qiu Huanhuan mutter over there while she stood by the stream and daydreamed.
Shaohua suddenly popped her head out of the house and called out, "Xuanhuan, come here. Auntie will teach you how to use insects to control the human body."
“Here I come!”
Qiu Xuanhuan stopped muttering and rushed over.
Cheng Wuchou didn't move and stood behind her silently.
Tao Zi realized something was wrong and turned around and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
He reached out and hugged her, saying softly, "Azi, I'm sorry, it's my fault that I came too late."
Faced with this sudden apology, she was stunned. It took her a while to understand what her brother meant. She smiled and hugged him back, saying, "Brother, don't think about it. It's all in the past. Besides, this isn't your fault."
Cheng Wuchou hummed, his voice adding a hint of solemnity: "That man must die."
It was obvious that A Zi had already discovered something was wrong, and she had clearly begun to distance herself from those people.
Qinglan, damn it.
