Chapter 496: Princess Di
The gentleman also realized his gaffe, sat down again, and smiled apologetically at them.
Tao Zi cast her eyes towards the necklace, feeling doubtful and uncertain, but still chose to trust the gentleman and said, "Lian Qingzhou, this necklace was obtained from Lian Qingzhou."
He repeated the name: "Lian Qingzhou?"
Judging from the tone of his voice, he was obviously not impressed by her.
Cheng Wuchou and Tao Zi looked at each other, and finally he stood up and told the story.
What Tao Zi said might be biased, although he was almost biased, but at least it seemed fair.
The gentleman listened in silence until Cheng Wuchou finished speaking. Then he asked, "Has she always been targeting Xiao Zi?"
He didn't expect the gentleman's focus to be here. After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Yes."
"How could it be..." The gentleman said this unconsciously and shook his head gently.
When Tao Zi heard this, she naturally knew that something must be going on.
Just as she was about to ask, Cheng Wuchou winked at her and said first, "Sir, is there a reason for this?"
The gentleman fell into reminiscence: "That was a long time ago."
Tao Zi's eyelids twitched when she heard this, fearing that the gentleman's next sentence would be "It has nothing to do with you." In the end, she knew nothing and could only guess.
Fortunately, Mr. Suo didn't think so. He looked directly at her and continued, "Did Wuqiu tell you about what happened more than three thousand years ago?"
Tao Zi replied, "Brother told me a lot."
Undisguised surprise flashed across his face. "It's rare. Wu Chou never wanted you to get involved in these things."
She was silent, feeling somewhat helpless.
Cheng Wuchou coughed and said vaguely: "I'm just worried that the Demon Palace and the alien race will target A Zi."
The gentleman glanced at him and knew in his heart that what he was afraid of was that Xujia Gatekeeper Tao Zi would be involved in the affairs of mortal mechas. Once something happened, the opponent might be the entire world of immortal cultivation.
After all, what Wuchou wants most is for his sister to get revenge quickly and live a carefree life.
But is this possible?
The gentleman sighed inwardly and continued gently, "Then you should know my origins and the existence of certain people in Xujiamen."
Tao Zi nodded silently. A long time ago, she had guessed the master's identity three thousand years ago.
"Did Wuqiu tell you who helped us get the alien transformation method?"
She shook her head.
The gentleman spoke in a gentle voice: "It's Princess Di."
Princess?
"The world only knows the Imperial Princess, but little does anyone know that beneath her lies a lively and lovely little Imperial Concubine." The gentleman's voice gradually grew heavy. "After the war, the little Imperial Concubine's whereabouts were unknown. When she contacted me, she had become an alien race. She passed on the alien transformation method to me, and I haven't heard from her since."
Tao Zi felt a little uneasy, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
"When the Imperial Princess Ruins were created, the key was split into three parts, held by the Cheng family, the Aristocratic family, and... the Imperial Princess. The Aristocratic family eventually entered the immortal cultivation path and founded the Xulan Palace, while the whereabouts of the little Imperial Princess remain unknown."
The master sighed softly and continued, "The little princess left a final message: she is dead, do not look for her in the future. Later, with the help of several cultivators, I modified that method, completely freeing the person who modified it from the control of the Heavenly Dao. This is how I escaped the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao Sect."
Tao Zi looked at Cheng Wuchou, who also looked confused.
"Over the years, the aliens have been investigating my identity, but there has been no progress. I thought that the little princess would rather die than reveal my identity, or that she had survived the alien invasion, but now it seems that nothing is certain."
When the gentleman said this, there was visible fatigue on his face.
Tao Zi looked at the master and asked directly, "If Lian Qingzhou is really the little princess, would you want me to let her go?"
He avoided answering and only said: "Although the little princess is innocent, she also loves the people. She will not be the little princess."
She understood the meaning of the words and said nothing more.
The gentleman waved his hand and said, "It's a long journey, you should go and rest first."
The two men saluted and then walked out.
Cheng Wuchou sighed softly and said, "Sir, you may need to take a break for a while."
The little ghost appeared at this time, staring at them coldly, with a ghostly aura around him: "Will he protect her? I need you to tell me clearly."
"No." Tao Zi said very calmly, "Even if I did, I would still kill her."
The little ghost suddenly came close to her, their noses almost touching: "She is your sister in your previous life, are you willing to let her go?"
Tao Zi laughed out loud and said, "What does the Emperor's sister have to do with me? To me, she's just an enemy who's tormented me for nearly fifty years. Not to mention that she colluded with Qing Lan to kill so many of my fellow disciples. If I let her go, I wouldn't be worthy of those disciples who died in vain."
Thinking of Xing Wen and the disciples who died in Minglan Sect, bloodshot gradually appeared in her eyes.
Cheng Wuchou realized something was wrong in time, held her shoulders, and called out softly, "Azi."
Tao Zi closed her eyes and waited for about an incense stick of time before responding.
He glanced at the little ghost again, and the little ghost was frightened by his gaze and quickly disappeared.
Cheng Wuchou whispered to comfort him: "Lian Qingzhou has killed too many people. Master will never protect her, let alone acknowledge her identity."
She responded expressionlessly.
The next day, the master finally sent someone to invite them.
When I arrived at the gentleman's study, he seemed to have returned to normal.
Cheng Wuchou was the first to speak: "Sir, what you want to talk about is the remains of the Emperor's Daughter?"
The gentleman nodded in agreement and said, "With the help of the key, I have a way to open the Imperial Daughter's Ruins, but there is a big problem."
"Sir, please speak."
"The opening of the Imperial Daughter's Ruins will inevitably alarm the other sects. By then, no one can say whether Tao Zi can make it to the end." The gentleman paused, "Not to mention, there's also Lian Qingzhou among them. If the opportunity falls into the hands of an alien race, it will be a disaster."
Cheng Wuchou was stunned. This was indeed a big problem.
Tao Zi stood there with her eyes lowered. After a long while, she said, "Don't worry, sir. I will contact the other two sects and three schools."
The gentleman looked at her and said, "This is very dangerous. Few people remain unmoved by such great opportunities. You must consider this carefully."
"Sir, those two sects and three schools are indeed not clean, but they do have their merits." Tao Zi said calmly, "Or rather, there are some people who are worth considering."
Wang Xu of the Sword Sect, Hua Seng and Qian Xuan Hua of the One Thought Sect, Qiu Huan Huan of the Spring and Autumn Sect, Jiu Qing Ling of the Nine Turns Sect...
As for the Tiandao Sect, for some reason, she always felt that Wuyan would help her in the end.
Tao Zi thought of the Sword Sect's leader again. Perhaps, it was time to see if he was like the Buddha Sect's leader of the Tongnian Sect, and really cared about the overall situation.
