Chapter 587 Sister
"But..." A'Du said softly, "Please keep it a secret for me."
"Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut." Yun Qingqing nodded, which made her feel at ease.
The status of the Lord of Hell is very important. Even if A'du didn't ask her to do so, Yun Qingqing would still do so.
A'Du calmed down and said:
"The previous Lord Yama, Lord Moro, was my master..."
When Yun Qingqing heard the name, her eyes moved slightly.
But she did not interrupt and continued to listen to Adu.
“…When Master accepted me as his disciple, he had been in charge of the underworld for nearly two thousand years. Since he accepted me, he taught me various skills and let me share the affairs of the underworld with him.”
"After a few decades, Master handed over almost all the affairs to me, and he himself often fell into a deep sleep."
"Then suddenly one day, Master said that he was going to be reincarnated, and passed the position of Lord Yama to me."
When A'du said this, Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
"He's reincarnated? Do you know his current identity?"
A'Du nodded, then shook his head, looking a little sad:
"Master has placed a ban on his reincarnation. His name is not on the Book of Life and Death, so I can't find out the identity of his reincarnation."
Yun Qingqing seemed to be thinking:
"So, your position as Yan Qun was legitimately passed down from your predecessor. Then why did you disguise yourself as Fengdu Jun instead of using your real body, and hide it from the entire underworld?"
It was obvious at first glance that the gigantic incarnation of Lord Fengdu consumed a lot of mana. In fact, Yun Qingqing was not only curious about why she did this, but also admired her strength.
A'Du bit his lip and said softly:
"When Master asked me to take charge of the affairs of the underworld, I was afraid that I would not be able to convince others because of my insignificance, so I asked Master for a magic weapon and transformed myself into that form, and then... everything went quite smoothly."
"Then my master suddenly passed on his position to me. In order to avoid trouble, I continued to use that incarnation... I was afraid that I would return to my original form, which would be too undignified..."
Yun Qingqing understood, smiled and shook her head.
The little girl has such strength, and she has already managed the underworld in perfect order. How could there be a few ignorant people who would not accept it?
It's just that she herself feels that the image of Fengdu Jun makes her feel more secure, and others have no right to comment.
But Yun Qingqing thought of something else and asked:
"Have you known me for a long time? Have we met before?"
Thinking back on it now, Yun Qingqing was very sure that when she first met Lord Yan in the underworld, he...her behavior was really a little unnatural.
Until now, Yun Qingqing still felt that if there was no special reason, the Lord Yama's help and preferential treatment to her would be too strange.
But Yun Qingqing couldn't remember when she had seen this little girl before.
A'Du raised his hand and a scroll appeared in his palm:
"This was left by my master. He said that if I saw the person in the painting during my tenure as Lord Yan, I would definitely treat her as someone more important than my master."
Yun Qingqing took the scroll and unfolded it. Her eyes darkened as she stared at herself in the painting for a long time without saying a word.
The self in the painting was wearing the white clothes that were commonly worn two thousand years ago. He was holding a fan and looking back, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
The brushstrokes and techniques of this painting were very familiar to her, just like the name of the old friend.
Moro.
Yun Qingqing's senior brother has been caring and looking after her since the day she entered the sect. It can be said that he watched her grow step by step to become the chief leader of Xuanmen.
When the final catastrophe came and Yun Qingqing decided to sacrifice herself, Moro tried to trap her and go in her place, but he failed because he saw through his plan.
Unexpectedly, after his sacrifice, he went to the underworld and became the King of Hell. This was unexpected.
"Your master..." Yun Qingqing's eyes stayed on the scroll and she asked softly, "Did he ever tell you how he became Lord Yama?"
A'Du shook his head blankly:
"No, I only know that Master has been in office for nearly two thousand years. I have never asked about things that happened so long ago... Sorry."
She seemed to feel that she had failed to answer Yun Qingqing's question, and bit her lip in embarrassment.
"It's okay." Yun Qingqing quickly patted her hands soothingly, thinking that this little girl was really too shy.
"By the way, Adu is not you
"Is your real name? What's your name?" she asked, changing the subject.
The little girl raised her eyes to look at Yun Qingqing, her eyes flickered slightly, then she gently lowered her head and said softly:
"My name is... Bai Fengdu, you can still call me A'du."
"Bai Fengdu... Fengdu... I see." Yun Qingqing read the two names, understood, and smiled, "Both are good names."
"Thank... Thank you, Lord Yun." A'du's face seemed to turn red again.
Yun Qingqing paused for a moment, sighed softly, stretched out her hand to rub her hair, and said softly:
"You are the rightful Lord of the Underworld. You don't have to be so humble. Just call me by my name."
Although according to Bai Fengdu, she was the apprentice of the eldest senior brother and should be considered his junior, Yun Qingqing always found it difficult to really regard her as a niece.
Perhaps it was because what Senior Brother Moro taught A'Du were not the secret techniques of his master's school, but the abilities of the King of Hell, which had nothing to do with his master's school.
In addition, she still hadn't figured out how Moro became King Yama and where he was reincarnated, so she had no intention of revealing her relationship with A'du's master.
When A'du heard her say that she could just call him by his name, he suddenly became even more embarrassed.
"How, how can this be possible..." She lowered her head and stammered.
Yun Qingqing was about to speak when she heard A'du say:
"How about...Is it okay for me to call you sister?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment. A'du was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he quickly explained:
"Yes, because I also had a sister when I was a child, but we were lost... Later, when I saw your portrait, I always felt very familiar, just like seeing my sister come back to my side..."
“But, but if you don’t want to, just pretend I didn’t say anything…” A’Du’s eyes were red, and he backed off again.
Yun Qingqing looked at the timid little girl, feeling inexplicably relieved. She reached out and pinched her cheek:
"Who said no?"
A'Du looked up blankly at her gentle smile, his eyes gradually brightened:
“Is it really possible?!”
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"It's so impressive to have Lord Yan call me sister! Only a fool would not want to do that, right?"
A'Du was amused by her and felt much more relaxed. He pulled her sleeve and called out carefully:
"elder sister."
Yun Qingqing didn't feel it was strange at all to have such a well-behaved and gentle sister, and she was in an inexplicably good mood.
She smiled and lifted A-Du's hair:
"Good sister, I'll leave that matter to you."
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously, and then suddenly reacted, "Ah! Sister, you came to me to do that thing because you already knew my identity, right?"
Yun Qingqing laughed again:
"Of course. After all, as the Lord of Hell, only you can help me keep an eye on the movements of the living world without being noticed by anyone."
"I understand~, sister, just leave it to me!" A'du became more excited at the thought of being able to help a lot.
After sending Yun Qingqing away, A'du came to a deserted place. His body glowed and became huge. Finally, he turned into the appearance of Fengdu Jun and returned to the Yama Palace to deal with the affairs of the underworld.
But she soon found that her mind was full of what happened today and she couldn't calm down at all. She simply stood up, walked back to her residence with rumbling steps, opened a secret door and entered the secret room that only she knew about, and turned back into a little girl.
Bai Fengdu came to a water mirror in a secret corner, his eyes sparkling, an irrepressible smile on his lips, and raised his hand to write a line of words on the water mirror.
[My sister recognized me! I am so happy that I want to cry...]
After a moment, the mirror surface was suddenly disturbed, and new words appeared out of thin air.
[Adu? Are you crazy? ]
