Gu Wei was stunned for a moment.
He thought of many possible outcomes regarding the Zhou Dynasty, the nine great families and their relationship with him.
But he never thought that even his background was fake?
In an instant, the fog in front of my eyes was cleared.
All the mysteries that puzzled him were explained.
He had always wondered why these families did not choose his father and brother, but only chose him.
It is obvious that his father's martial arts skills are stronger than his.
His elder brother is more generous and kinder than he is.
Why do I look neither like my dignified and majestic father nor like my gentle and pretty mother?
Then who are your father and mother?
Gu Wei turned his head and looked at Pei Jinan, his peach blossom eyes were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out, and his expression was gloomy.
Seeing Gu Wei like this, Pei Jinan's heart was wrenched and hurt so much.
He walked up quickly and patted Gu Wei's back, just like when he coaxed him to sleep when he was a child, "Shi Jin, I shouldn't have told you this, but——"
"Grandfather. Are you trying to say that I am not my father and mother's biological child?"
Pei Jin settled down.
Gu Wei is too smart.
Nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
The conversation was once again dominated by Gu Wei.
His eyes were piercing and he pressed forward step by step.
"Do your parents know about this? Or did you plan this secretly without telling them?
Secondly, what role did my master play in this?
If mother doesn't know about this, then where is the original Gu Erlang?"
"Don't get excited, Grandfather will explain it to you."
Pei Jinan pulled Gu Wei to sit down.
Gu Wei stubbornly turned his head away and didn't look at him, like a sulky child.
Pei Jinan's heart was filled with endless panic.
His tone was gentle, and his usually stern brows softened.
"Child, do you believe in grandpa? Grandpa is not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goal.
No one was ever hurt in your life."
Only then did Gu Wei turn his head and clench his fists, like a prisoner awaiting trial.
He looked straight at Pei Jinan.
"Tell me everything."
Pei Jinan looked at Gu Wei's beautiful peach blossom eyes and sighed deeply.
He took out a wooden box from the top of the bookshelf, then rummaged through the drawer, found an exquisite key, and opened the wooden box.
The wooden box must have not been opened for a long time.
The moment the lid was opened, dust flew everywhere and Gu Wei's heart jumped up and down.
There were two paintings in the box.
The one at the top is of a tall, slender man in black, holding a sword in his right hand and holding it behind his back.
His face was pale and handsome, and his peach blossom eyes were cold and emotionless.
Even through the frame, one can feel the otherworldly coldness from him, as if he is a dragon about to soar into the sky and dive into the abyss, unruly and unruly.
Gu Wei's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Pei Jinan then opened another painting.
There is a woman in the painting.
She sat under a crimson crabapple tree, her long black hair trailing the ground, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, and her bare hands strumming a guqin.
Stunning beauty, captivating everyone. All the words in the world used to describe beauty, when applied to a woman, seem to tarnish her pure beauty.
She was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, so beautiful without a trace of worldly air, as if a gust of wind would take her back to the heavens.
Gu Wei's facial features, except for his eyes, are almost exactly the same as a woman's.
The answer is obvious.
Gu Wei still didn't give up and asked: "Who are they?"
Pei Jinan lowered his eyes.
"You all know who this man is without me telling you."
Gu Wei clenched his fists.
In this world.
Only one person can have such a calm and cool temperament.
Even if the face is slightly different.
Gu Wei recognized it at the first sight.
The man in the painting is his master - Zang Qing, the owner of Tingxue Tower.
And the other woman...
Pei Jinan said respectfully, "This is the only direct descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, the honorable His Highness Ji Yue."
"Ji Yue?" Gu Wei looked up suddenly, "Then where is she?"
A sudden sadness appeared in Pei Jinan's eyes, as if a wasteland burned by a fire, which emitted a sad and monotonous wail when blown by the wind.
"His Highness Ji Yue died in the cold winter twenty-five years ago. It was snowing lightly and everything was withering!"
Did she die just after giving birth to herself?
Gu Wei's eyelashes trembled.
The bony fingers rested on the scroll, as if trying to reach through it and touch the woman's face.
Obviously never seen it before.
Just by looking at the portrait, he could feel a piercing pain that gradually spread throughout his body and made his face pale.
Those bright and sharp peach blossom eyes gradually became dim.
"Since I am the child of Master and her, why didn't Master acknowledge me and keep me in the Gu family?"
Pei Jinan looked reluctant.
"Zang Qing's father and I are good friends, and I have watched him grow up. Zang Qing has always been very dull since he was young, as if he has no human emotions.
Princess Ji Yue has been living under the protection of the Pei family. In order to avoid being hunted down, she changes her residence all the time.
There is almost no possibility of their intersection, so I am not very clear about the twists and turns.
In short, when I saw Her Highness again, she was already pregnant with you.
But as soon as she gave birth to you, she was abducted by evil people, who tried to force her and use her to continue the bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty.
In order to avoid being used as a tool for bearing children, His Highness Ji Yue committed suicide on the spot.
Fortunately, you were hidden and not caught.
In the same year, Yueqing, your mother, and your father were in the frontier. Due to fleeing and war, Erlang died shortly after giving birth.
She became mentally ill because of this. In order to hide your identity and better protect you, I sent you to the Gu family.
From then on, you became Gu Wei.
When you were nine years old, you fell seriously ill and needed the blood of your loved ones to cure you. Zang Qingcai appeared and took you to Tingxue Tower.
At that time, he had white hair before his time, and looked even more indifferent and cold, keeping people at a distance. I almost didn't recognize him.
Your eyes are too similar to his. In order to prevent you from finding out that he is your father, he spent three years creating a hidden formation for Mingyue Island in exchange for medicine that can change your appearance.
Originally, I didn't intend to tell you these things.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always treated you as my own grandson, even more than that.
The reason I gave you the help of Fuyao Academy was not because I was planning any big plan, but because I saw that you wanted to unify Beijiang, so I gave you a helping hand.
But…….."
Pei Jinan frowned and handed over a letter.
"This is the letter Zang Qing sent me a month ago. Please read it yourself."
Gu Wei opened it with trembling hands.
I received too many messages today.
His mind was in a mess.
But after reading the words in the letter, Gu Wei's face turned pale and blue in an instant.
Pei Jinan's voice sounded again.
"I suspect that this group of people is the same group that harmed His Highness Ji Yue back then."
