Fang Wei's words once again confirmed their guess. Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan were speechless for a moment. This behavior seemed incomprehensible to them, but it was indeed reasonable.
Xuan Shuzhi asked: "That Saint Son, does he know that he was born to be sacrificed to monsters?"
Fang Wei shook her head and said, "He doesn't know."
Yi Zhan opened his mouth: "Then he is..."
Fang Wei said: "Every generation of Saint Sons is like this, but something unexpected happened in the last generation."
Yi Zhan was completely immersed in this story from a thousand years ago, and at this moment he quickly asked, "What's the accident?"
Fang Wei said: "It's Liu Qishuang you mentioned earlier. He is the accident."
"The Liu family was originally a branch of the Ancient Clan stationed outside the Frost Forest Valley. They were responsible for delivering messages to the Ancient Clan and protecting the clan members from being disturbed. The descendants of the Liu family are also the guardians of the Holy Son. In each generation, one person will be chosen to enter the Frost Forest Valley to serve the Holy Son and protect his safety."
When Fang Wei said this, all the previously puzzling questions were immediately answered.
Why so many people cannot survive after entering Frost Forest Valley, but Liu Qishuang can enter and walk out safely, because he is the guardian of the secrets of Frost Forest Valley.
Xuan Shuzhi asked: "So Liu Qishuang is actually the guardian of the Holy Son?"
Fang Wei nodded: "You can say that."
Xuan Shuzhi asked again, "What is the accident you just mentioned, Master Xie?"
"The accident happened when the Liu family was wiped out by unknown people, and Liu Qishuang had already known the truth about the ancient clan and the existence of the Holy Son from his father and brother, so as the last surviving member of the Liu family, he entered the Frost Forest Valley and found the Holy Son." Fang Wei said in a low voice, "But his purpose was not to protect the Holy Son."
Xuan Shuzhi had already guessed what would happen next: "He told the Holy Son the truth?"
Fang Wei nodded again: "Yes."
His description was too detailed. Thinking of what happened in Frost Forest Valley later, Xuan Shuzhi asked again, "What was the reaction of the Saint Son?"
Hearing this question, Fang Wei paused for a moment, but did not respond to him immediately. Instead, he asked softly, "If you find out that your existence is just to be sacrificed from beginning to end, and you have been locked up in the valley since birth, and have never seen the outside world, and you find that other people's concern for you is just to take care of and look after the sacrifice. If you were treated as an object from beginning to end, how would you react?"
Yi Zhan blurted out, "Of course we smashed the valley and got out of it. It was the mistake made by our ancestors, and it was the mistake made by those people themselves. Why should he sacrifice his life?"
Fang Wei looked at Yi Zhan calmly, and there was no ripple in the white cat's dark blue eyes.
Xuan Shuzhi pondered with a serious expression, but did not give the same answer as Yi Zhan. He sighed deeply and said to Yi Zhan helplessly: "If that is true, it would be great, but since the legend of offering sacrifice to the demon is true, and now the Xuanqing Continent is still fine, it means that the Holy Son did not make the same choice as you did."
After he said this, he looked up at Fang Wei opposite him: "Evil Master, am I right?"
Fang Wei said: "You are right. Even if we know the truth, the Holy Son has no way to escape. If he leaves, what will happen to the entire Ancient Clan and the entire Xuanqing Continent?"
Yi Zhan was not as calm as Xuan Shuzhi and Fang Wei. He frowned and felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart. Somehow, he felt a little unfair for the Holy Son whom he had never met: "What should we do with him? That Holy Son, he was deceived since birth. Even after knowing the truth, can't he make his own choice?"
Fang Wei corrected: "No, he did make his own choice."
He said calmly, "He had no way to turn around and leave, but he was also unwilling to be used as a sacrifice, so he tried to fight the monster like his ancestors did."
Yi Zhan and Xuan Shuzhi were both slightly moved. They could not imagine that the Saint Son would make such a foolish choice in the end. Even though the Saint Son had received the best education in the clan and possessed the most extraordinary talent and excellent bloodline, he was still young after all. Even his ancestors could not contend with the monsters. Over the years, the monsters had become even more powerful. With the Saint Son's strength, how could he possibly defeat the monsters?
Fang Wei watched their reactions and did not tell them that in fact the Holy Son at that time was the same age as Liu Qishuang.
Yi Zhan asked: "What happened next? How did the Holy Son become?"
Fang Wei said: "Of course he can't defeat the monster that has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, but it's a coincidence that the monster that came at their festival was not the one they were waiting for."
The development of the story gradually caught people off guard, and even Xuan Shuzhi was very interested: "Who is coming?"
"I don't know." Fang Wei said, "Maybe it's the descendant of that monster, maybe it's another monster, or maybe it's some other unknown monster. In short, it's not the monster in the ancient tribe's records. The monster didn't pay attention to the offerings on the altar. That day, all the ancient tribe members dressed up for the sacrifice, but the monster didn't come to eat its offerings. It came to destroy the altar and the people who were offering the sacrifice."
Although Fang Wei said it so calmly, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan could both imagine the scenes that happened that year and the terrifying battle.
The ruins of the ancient tribe are still in the Frost Forest Valley. They have been there to see them. The tragic condition of the ruins has already shown how terrible a battle it has experienced. So even if Fang Wei did not describe the details, they could guess what the scene was like at that time.
After a moment of silence, Xuan Shuzhi looked deeply at the white cat who was telling the story and asked again, "What happened next?"
Fang Wei said: "Later, the ancient tribe was destroyed, just like what you have seen."
Xuan Shuzhi added: "But Liu Qishuang escaped."
Fang Wei stared at Xuan Shuzhi who said this, and did not respond immediately.
Compared to the facts he already knew, Yi Zhan was more concerned about another key figure in this story. He asked, "Where is the Holy Son? Is he still alive? Did he escape?"
Fang Wei still didn't answer his question.
Xuan Shuzhi dropped his hand to his side and gently pulled Yi Zhan's sleeve. Seeing Yi Zhan turning back to look at him, he retracted his right hand, lowered his eyes and said to him, "We have finished asking questions, thank you, Master Evil."
Fang Wei said calmly: "Well, you guys can make your own decisions about what to do next."
"Yes." Xuan Shuzhi responded, and quickly pulled Yi Zhan out of the room.
Yi Zhan was still thinking about the story. He felt that there were still many mysteries in the story and he wanted to figure it out more thoroughly. But he didn't know why Xuan Shuzhi was so anxious to pull him away.
After walking outside for a long time, Yi Zhan finally broke free from Xuan Shuzhi and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you continue asking?"
Xuan Shuzhi stopped and looked up at him calmly: "What do you want to ask?"
Yi Zhan said: "Of course it was the Holy Son, and what happened to that monster later..."
Xuan Shuzhi looked at him helplessly and amusedly. He took out a folding fan from somewhere and tapped Yi Zhan's shoulder with the handle of the fan. Then he said, "You have managed Po Xue Zhai well over the years, but you are still so impulsive and stupid. Have you ever thought about why the evil master knows so many things?"
Yi Zhan frowned and said, "Of course it's because he has great magical powers."
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and out of habit wanted to refute, but then he thought again, there seemed to be no room for rebuttal.
Yes, just as Yi Zhan said, although they are now all well-known figures and have their own forces in various places, in the hearts of this group of people, the evil lord Fang Wei is still the most powerful and omnipotent one. It seems that no matter what kind of thing happens, as long as they find him, he can solve it perfectly.
But that's not what he wants to say now.
Xuan Shuzhi laughed a little, then changed the subject and said, "Then have you ever thought about why he knows these things so clearly, as if he had experienced them personally?"
Yi Zhan did not hesitate: "Of course it is because of his great magical powers..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly understood what Xuan Shuzhi meant. He slightly widened his eyes and gasped, "Wait, you mean..."
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows even higher, knowing that Yi Zhan had come to his senses, and he continued, "Then think about it again. When those things happened, apart from Liu Qishuang, who else was there?"
Yi Zhan stared at Xuan Shuzhi, the answer almost on the tip of his tongue.
However, Xuan Shuzhi raised his finger and pressed it against his lips. He shook his head and said, "Since the evil master told us these things, he should know that we can guess so many things, but since he is unwilling to speak directly, we should pretend that we don't know these things."
Yi Zhan did not hesitate this time and nodded almost immediately.
Xuan Shuzhi then withdrew his hand. The two of them looked back at the room where Fang Wei was, and then left the space of Yunxiu Pen.
And Fang Wei was always in the room.
This space is very suitable for him, so he can temporarily transform into a physical form here, and his spiritual sense almost covers the entire space, so he can naturally hear clearly the conversation between Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan just now.
Xuan Shuzhi guessed correctly. He told them these words because he had his own considerations. The facts from many years ago should have surfaced long ago, but this process could not be too fast.
Finally finishing the conversation with Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan, Fang Wei quietly left the room while maintaining the appearance of a white cat and returned to Hua Shi's practice room.
While they were talking, Hua Shi in the practice room had already practiced to exhaustion and fell asleep sitting on the ground leaning against the wall.
Fang Wei called him twice but failed to wake him up.
"Now you treat this place as a place to sleep." Fang Wei felt angry and amused, but he also saw Hua Shi's efforts in recent days, so he did not wake him up, but just changed back into human form and picked him up skillfully.
Hua Shi seemed to be aware of the movement in his sleep. He moved his body towards Fang Wei's chest and murmured, "Liu Qishuang."
Fang Wei paused and looked down at Hua Shi.
Hua Shi grabbed Fang Wei's collar and whispered in his dream, "Wait for me. I'll come find you with the Lingsha Sword and the white cat in my arms, and then..."
Fang Wei suppressed her smile: "Then?"
Hua Shi raised the corners of his lips slightly and muttered, "Then... marry you..."
