"Xiao He, listen to your aunt's advice. Since the Shen family has been destroyed, let it go. You can't fight against your enemies, so don't seek death."
Madam Qingyu said with a stern face and in a very serious tone.
Chen He did not doubt that Madam Qingyu was exaggerating. After all, her parents' relatives and friends were not rookies like her.
And the ghosts caught in Shen's house were also very ferocious.
But those ghosts are just trained killers.
I'm afraid the enemy's trump card is beyond her imagination now.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I won't be so foolish as to fight a rock with an egg. But only if I know who the enemy is can I avoid him and not go and die, right?"
Chen He took Madam Qingyu's hand and said coquettishly, "Auntie, you don't want me to be ignorant of the truth and foolishly offer my life to others, right?"
Madam Qingyu stared at Chen He for a long while before she sighed softly.
"Your mother's name is Yu Rao, but that Yu refers to the Yu clan. Aside from those in power like us, only the older generation knows of their existence."
Madam Qingyu frowned.
"A hundred years ago, during the great war between humans and demons, the Hidden Family took action, but they disappeared after that. As for me, I don't know why people dare not mention their affairs, I only know that it is a taboo."
Shen He was confused.
Didn’t I just say that the death of the ghost’s parents had nothing to do with the ghost’s mother’s family?
Why are you bringing this up again?
But the surname Yu sounds pretty nice.
"So, the extermination of the Shen family is related to the Yu clan?"
Chen He scratched his head, feeling like he needed to grow a brain again.
When talking to adults, there are too many roundabout ways.
"I can't find out about hidden families unless I come across them by chance. Big families, like your sect, have soul tablets."
Madam Qingyu looked at the tablet and said in a low voice.
Chen He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Madam Qingyu was afraid that she would seek revenge.
"Auntie, what you mean is that if Yu Shi didn't do this, then even Yu Shi couldn't find out who killed my mother?"
This is all Shen He could think of.
Madam Qingyu nodded slowly.
"Although the enemy is in the dark, the abilities of the hidden families are beyond your and my imagination. But the Yu family has not made any moves, so I suspect..."
Chen He tilted his head and looked at Madam Qingyu, silently urging her to continue.
"Silly girl, since your mother was spoiled by the whole family, if something happens to her, no matter who did it, the Yu family will definitely not do nothing."
Shen He nodded. This was also something she couldn't understand.
"Then there are three possibilities. The first is that the one who killed my mother was a member of the Yu family, so the matter has been resolved internally, and the news will naturally not be leaked."
Chen He counted on his fingers and analyzed carefully.
"The second reason is that the Yu family didn't find out, or they couldn't shake their enemies, so the news didn't leak out."
When she counted to the third finger, Shen He's pretty face also showed a bit of solemnity.
"The third is that something happened to my mother's immediate family, and the Yu family has completely changed. Even the entire Yu family may be in trouble and unable to take care of themselves."
Revenge is important, but the safety of the entire clan is more important.
Madam Qingyu rubbed Chen He's little head lovingly.
"The third one is probably the biggest, otherwise you wouldn't have been out there for several years without anyone coming to find you."
Hearing this, Shen He nodded.
Whether it is to bring her back to the Yu family or to clean up the family, her existence should not be ignored.
"Putting the Yu family's matter aside for now, my aunt just said that the Shen family's extermination wasn't the work of a single force. So, was it an enemy from my grandfather's or grandmother's side?"
Chen He has a headache.
Why can't she just be left alone to have fun in peace?
There are so many worried people around, and she, the only little one, can only survive in the cracks. How pitiful!
"The Yu family's matter is indeed not urgent. And that's why I'm afraid you'll seek revenge."
Madam Qingyu didn't know how to start for a moment.
Chen He had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that his grandparents in name only would offend people more than the other!
With enemies everywhere, how can she survive?
How come there are such poor things as her in this world?
"Most of your grandfather's enemies were demons. There was also one who was your grandmother's former love rival. However, he disappeared after the Human-Demon War and may have died in battle."
Chen He hurriedly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and waited for Madam Qingyu to continue.
The melons in my garden are all bigger than each other.
Having said that, the lives of the older generation were really colorful, it’s a pity that I can’t witness it in person.
"When your grandmother was alive, she was a renowned alchemist and also made significant achievements in the way of the sword. But fifty years ago, she disappeared, which is why your father traveled extensively to train."
Madam Qingyu paused.
"I also used my connections to help investigate, but found nothing. After your grandmother disappeared, your nominal grandfather handed the Shen family over to your uncle, and he has been searching for her until now, but I don't know whether she is alive or dead."
Chen He: Could this fake grandfather be my grandmother's bootlicker?
Could my grandmother’s disappearance be related to my grandfather?
Or was it the work of the admirer who had been missing for a hundred years?
This question is beyond the scope!
She doesn't like to use her brain.
Why doesn't the book explain this at all?
Seeing that Chen He was about to pull her sparse hair bald, Madam Qingyu smiled and held her hand.
"Your father is a man of courage and righteousness, with many friends and enemies. Your mother is the same. From what I have found so far, these are the people most likely to be involved."
Madam Qingyu took out a piece of paper from the small drawer under the shrine and handed it to Chen He.
“I’ll go!”
Shen He exclaimed as he looked at the list.
What Madam Qingyu said just now doesn’t count. There are more than a dozen names listed on the list, and they all have important backgrounds.
"Since they are all likely to have participated in the extermination of the Shen family, why didn't anyone kill me or Shen Rongrong?"
Shen He really couldn't understand.
Madam Qingyu glanced at Chen He with a complicated expression, her eyes sweeping over her dantian.
"No way?"
Shen He clutched his chest and cried out in pain.
So the reason they didn't kill her was because she was useless?
Since when did being useless become a way to save one's life?
“Although Chen Rongrong’s surname is Shen, she is actually not related to you by blood. In addition, she is a direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect’s Danfeng. Most people will not provoke her unless they can hit her with a hidden attack.”
Shen He was hit hard again.
"Why? Shen Rongrong gets to enjoy the benefits, and I'm the only one left as cannon fodder?"
Chen He lay on the table, pounding the table with his little hands, feeling very frustrated.
Thinking back to his situation in the Qingyu Sect, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Aunt, can you do me a favor?"
Chen He had a guess and wanted to test it.
Madam Qingyu glared at Chen He and said, "Why are you being so polite to your aunt? If you have something to say, just tell me."
Chen He touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to Madam Qingyu, whispering in her ear: "I think..."
