After dinner, Qu Yan was still very angry, so she decided to find an opportunity to catch him and beat him up.
Asking for information is just an excuse.
"I know, I know. You're just as long-winded as Tang Monk!"
Qu Yan covered her ears and frowned as she spoke, but she let go of her feet obediently.
The servant lying on the ground with a bruised face and nose finally got a chance to breathe. The feeling of surviving a disaster made him dare not to be stubborn anymore.
Among the two people floating in the sky with their mouths shut, Qu Shang's expression suddenly relaxed.
This adjective... Then it is impossible for Yanyan to be kidnapped by Youlin, after all, she hates Tang Seng the most.
"To answer the young lady, although Miss Xu Wu is known as the Third Miss...but...but..."
The servant paused for a while before finally speaking.
"Speak, but what?"
Qu Yan lost her patience and pretended to hit the man, but the man dodged and stopped stuttering.
"But Miss Xu Wu is not of the Xu family bloodline! Her mother was remarried to the previous head of the Xu family.
After marrying into the Xu family, she gave birth to the fifth young master, who is the one sparring with my young master in the martial arts arena today."
When the servant said this, Qu Yan suddenly understood.
No wonder everyone is feeling so weird...it turns out there are hidden secrets!
"In the sixth year after the eldest lady married the former patriarch and gave birth to the fifth son, she received news that something might have happened to Miss Xu Wu.
The eldest lady begged the former head of the family to allow her to bring Miss Xu Wu back. The former head of the family ignored the opposition within the clan and resolutely decided to go with the eldest lady to bring back Miss Xu Wu.
For this reason, the couple left the six-year-old fifth young master at the Xu family, and before leaving, they forcefully opened the family tree and wrote down Miss Xu Wu's name.
But...the couple went away for three years and never returned. Three years later, the former head of the family returned with Miss Xu Wu, but he died of his injuries not long after.
This young man told everything he knew without reservation, and revealed all the secrets of the Xu family in one go.
"The previous patriarch had already reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age, and was the cultivator in the family with the greatest hope of reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage.
The clan had high hopes for him, but after his death, the clan's morale declined, and many members blamed the Third Miss for this."
The servant was still speaking cautiously, fearing that Qu Yan would attack him again if she was unhappy.
"Oh~ I see. Okay, you can go now."
Qu Yan felt that she understood most of the situation, so she waved her hand to send the boy away.
I just suddenly thought of something and brought him back to ask.
"Then according to what you said, shouldn't these people want Xu Wu to die? Why do they seem to be living well off, looking at her food, clothing, and other necessities?"
Qu Yan was really curious. If he really hated Xu Wu, and she herself had poor talent, how could he give her such a good material life?
"Um... this... this is because all these things belong to the eldest lady. The reason why everyone in the clan agreed to let the eldest lady, a daughter who was married for the second time, marry into the family is because she has a huge fortune.
With her wealth and the previous patriarch's talent and cultivation, everyone in the Xu family believed that the Xu family could become a major family and no longer need to rely on... the sect to survive."
"Oh~ So it's because your beautiful dream was shattered~ Also, the eldest lady's wealth can't be obtained by Xu Wu alone, so you have to keep Xu Wu."
Qu Yan made a bold guess, and after seeing the other party's evasive eyes, she understood.
"ah,"
With a cry of surprise, the boy was knocked unconscious by Qu Yan.
"Brother Shangjiu, come and help me erase this person's memory. Otherwise, if he goes back and tells lies, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"
Qu Yan's words made You Lin, who had just been serious, instantly panic.
"Uncle Jiushang? Where is he? Where is he!"
Seeing his useless look, Qu Yan pulled his hairband in annoyance and walked forward.
"Alright! Let's go back quickly! Otherwise, we'll be discovered and we'll have to go through a lot of trials."
As they spoke, the two figures disappeared.
Soon Shangjiu and Qushang also fell to the place where the servant fainted.
Shangjiu muttered as he worked, "That little girl is quite good at ordering people around! Humph! Junior brother, didn't you say that if I didn't speak, she wouldn't know I was there? Why is that?"
"Oh, I mean, if you don't say anything she won't know I'm here."
Qu Shang smiled slightly and said to Shangjiu.
“You…you guys…”
The wine was speechless.
On the other side, the two people who had already returned to the yard started a passionate discussion about this matter.
After all... who can resist the charm of gossip?
"Hey! No wonder Master told me before that the Xu family suddenly weakened their ties with our sect a few decades ago. It might be because they wanted to be independent from the sect.
But this year, for the first time ever, they sent a member of the clan to participate in the sect assessment, and they look like they need to rely on us again... So there are these stories."
You Lin was amazed, looking as if he had realized that.
Qu Yan didn't understand the complicated relationship between the sect and the family, she just thought...
"How rich is Xu Wu's mother? She actually made a family think they could become a big family by relying on her wealth."
Qu Yan's focus was here, and her eyes seemed to be shining with gold.
Seeing this, Youlin's mouth twitched...
"Little Sister, I thought you would feel sorry for Xu Wu. After all, your relationship seems so good."
