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, putting her mind at ease.
The status of the Lord of Hell is very important. Even if A'du didn't ask for it, Yun Qingqing would do it.
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 didn't interrupt and continued to listen to Adu.
"...When Master accepted me as his disciple, he had already been in charge of the underworld for nearly two thousand years. Since he accepted me, he has taught me various skills and let me help him share the affairs of the underworld."
"After a few decades, Master handed over almost all matters to me, and he himself often fell into a deep sleep."
"Then one day, Master suddenly said that he was going to be reincarnated, and he 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 placed a ban on his reincarnation. His name is not on the Book of Life and Death, so I can't find out his reincarnation's identity."
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 true form, 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 wouldn't be able to convince the others due to my insignificance, so I asked Master for a magic weapon and transformed myself into that form, and then... everything went quite smoothly."
"Then, Master suddenly passed the throne to me. To avoid trouble, I continued to use that avatar... I was afraid of returning to my original form, which would be too undignified..."
Yun Qingqing understood and shook her head with a smile.
The little girl has such strength and has already managed the underworld in an orderly manner. How could there be a few ignorant people who would refuse to obey?
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?"
Looking back 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 various helps and preferential treatments given to her by this Lord Yama 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 ever see the person in the painting during my tenure as Lord Yama, I must 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 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 very caring and attentive to her since the day she joined the sect. It can be said that he watched her grow step by step to become the chief leader of Xuanmen.
When the catastrophe finally 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 gaze lingered 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 haven't asked about things from that long ago... I'm sorry."
She seemed to feel that she had not been able 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
"Your real name, right? What's your name?" she asked, changing the subject.
The little girl raised her eyes to look at Yun Qingqing, her eyes flickering slightly, then she lowered her head slightly 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, "They are both good names."
"Thank... Thank you, Lord Yun." A'du's face seemed to turn red again.
Yun Qingqing paused for a moment, sighed softly, reached out and rubbed her hair, and said softly:
"You are the rightful Lord of the Underworld. There is no need 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 truly 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 sect, but the true abilities of the Lord of Hell, which had nothing to do with his master's sect.
In addition, she still hadn't figured out how Moro became the King of Hell and where he was reincarnated, so she didn't plan to reveal her relationship with A'du's master at the moment.
When A'du heard her say that just calling her name was enough, 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 if I 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, as if I saw my sister come back to me..."
"But, but if you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything..." A'Du's eyes were red, and he retreated a little.
Yun Qingqing looked at the timid little girl, and felt inexplicably relieved. She reached out and pinched her cheek:
"Who said they don't want to?"
A'Du looked up at her gentle smile in a daze, his eyes gradually brightening:
"Is it really possible?"
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"Having Lord Yanjun call me sister, just thinking about it makes me feel so majestic! 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 inexplicably in a 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 realized, "Ah! Sister, you came to me to do that 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 else."
"I understand~, sister, just leave it to me!" A'du became more and 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 transformed into a huge one. 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 and walked back to her residence with rumbling steps. She 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 and an uncontrollable smile on his lips. He raised his hand and wrote a line of words on the water mirror.
My sister recognized me! I'm so happy I want to cry...
After a moment, the mirror surface suddenly vibrated, and new words appeared out of thin air.
[Adu? Are you crazy?]
