Chapter 389 The reason for the Chu family's extermination
"Thank you, my lord!" How could he not see that any of the magic tools in this scroll was of higher quality than the Sumeru scroll that had been authenticated by the lord!
But then again…
Ji Wujiang couldn't help but ask:
"Master, how do you know the Xumi Scroll is a fake? Have you ever seen the real thing?"
Yun Qingqing rolled her eyes:
"The real thing is made by me, do you think I know it?"
"Oh!" Ji Wujiang suddenly realized and exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of you, Master! Whether in this world or in the past, the number one person in Xuanmen is only you, Master!"
He held a pile of precious scrolls with shining eyes, unable to let go, and his mouth became especially sweet.
As he was talking, he saw that the magic weapon in a scroll was a sword. He suddenly remembered Yun Qingqing's sword and asked casually:
"Master, did you also refine the Dawn Breaker yourself? I think it's even better than a super-grade spiritual weapon!"
"What spiritual weapon!" Yun Qingqing rolled her eyes again, "Dawn Breaker is a god..."
She suddenly stopped and was stunned.
"Master?" Ji Wujiang asked worriedly when he saw that her expression was not right.
Yun Qingqing no longer paid any attention to him. She suddenly stood up and turned to look out the window, which was the direction of the mountain gate.
Ji Wujiang was startled and stood up as well:
"W-What happened?"
"I've seen him... He knows Dawn..." Yun Qingqing muttered to herself with empty eyes.
"This world isn't...an ancient legend...misplaced..."
"And Chu Jingyan...Chu Jingyan!"
Yun Qingqing quickly pinched her fingers a few times and confirmed one thing.
It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through my mind, and an idea that had been brewing for a long time suddenly became clear.
"I see!"
"What's wrong... Hey, my Lord..."
Ji Wujiang was completely confused as he watched Yun Qingqing stomping her feet on the ground to summon a teleportation array, which then disappeared in a flash.
…
Chu Jingyan staggered down the punishment platform, his white robe stained into a tattered and mottled dark red.
His vision was almost black, but his face was filled with relief and anticipation.
"Axue... finally, there is hope..." He hugged the Qiankun Furnace tightly in his arms and walked towards the mountain gate step by step.
Just as he saw the mountain gate, he stumbled and fell down.
He guarded the Qiankun Furnace tightly, and after a while with stars in his eyes, he relaxed and gritted his teeth to get up.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Yun Qingqing appeared in front of him.
He propped himself up and half sat on the ground, looking up at her in a daze.
"host……"
Yun Qingqing interrupted him by saying a few words:
"...Is this your horoscope?"
Chu Jingyan didn't understand, but nodded obediently:
"yes."
"Something happened to the Chu family five years ago..." Yun Qingqing pondered for a moment, then cast a spell to extract a figure from his memory.
The light curtain unfolded, and she stared into Chu Jingyan's eyes:
"Look, do you recognize this person?"
Chu Jingyan's face was a bit bewildered at first, but when he saw the portrait clearly, his expression suddenly became horrified, his eyes flushed, and he gnashed his teeth:
"It's him! Even if he turns to ashes, I will recognize him! One day, I will cut him into pieces and avenge the entire Chu family!"
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and waved away the light curtain, and many things finally became connected.
What she showed Chu Jingyan was the Qingfengzi in Cang Gu’s memory in the reincarnation mirror of the underworld.
She estimated that Qingfengzi should have looked like this five years ago, and suspected that he was the murderer who massacred the entire Chu family. Sure enough, it matched.
She didn't ask Chu Jingyan about Qingfengzi before because she had interrogated the second elder first, and the second elder didn't know Qingfengzi.
She subconsciously thought that Chu Jingyan, who was used as a tool by the Second Elder, would have nothing to do with Qingfengzi.
There was nothing wrong with this idea originally, until just now when Yun Qingqing thought of Qingfengzi because of other things, she suddenly discovered a detail that she had never thought of before.
She calculated Chu Jingyan's birth date and found that his birth date was exactly the same as those of the children whose bodies were possessed by Qingfengzi!
At this moment, Yun Qingqing was almost certain that the reason the Chu family was wiped out was that they discovered Qing Fengzi's intentions and refused to hand him over even at the cost of their lives.
Chu Jingyan staggered to his feet and asked with red eyes:
"Master, do you know this man? Do you know where he is?"
Yun Qingqing sighed and handed him a pill:
"Calm down. This is a long story, and I can't find him right now. You should heal your wounds first."
There was a flash of disappointment in Chu Jingyan's eyes, but at least he regained his sanity. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"My Lord is right. Now is not the time for revenge. I was too impulsive."
He took the pill and immediately felt a warmth in his dantian. The pain in his body was relieved a lot. He said gratefully:
"Thank you, my lord. I will now set off for the Imperial Capital."
Yun Qingqing shook her head and said:
"You can't do it alone. Come with me."
Chu Jingyan didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed her obediently.
Yun Qingqing had just taken him a few steps into the mountain gate when the head of the Discipline Hall stopped them and said with some embarrassment:
"Master... ahem, Miss Yun, Chu Jingyan has just been expelled from the sect. If you take him back now, it would be a bit..."
"It's okay." A vicissitudes of life voice suddenly came from the air.
"Ancestor!" The head of the Discipline Hall was shocked.
The voice chuckled and continued:
"Since Chu Jingyan's karma with the Seven Stars Palace has been resolved, he is now Miss Yun's guest. There is nothing wrong with it."
"Disciple understands." The head of the Discipline Hall obediently gave way, wondering why the ancestor sounded in such a good mood today?
Could it be that he thinks that if Chu Jingyan doesn't leave, there is still a chance to get the Qiankun Furnace back?
The problem is that this man has committed such a serious crime, why would the ancestor agree to give him the Qiankun Furnace?
Not only was the head of the Discipline Hall full of questions, but the disciples who had watched the entire process were also talking about it and making all kinds of speculations.
But these have nothing to do with the parties involved.
Yun Qingqing took Chu Jingyan directly to the villa and found a room to settle him down.
"You will be recuperating here for the time being. You must not leave the Seven Stars Palace until I come to pick you up. Do you understand?"
"...As you command." Chu Jingyan was still confused. "Master, what on earth is going on?"
"You're being targeted." Yun Qingqing said briefly, then turned and walked out. "We'll talk later. I need to take care of some things first."
She hurried to Xiao Changheng's room, looking up and saying:
"Ji Wujiang, I'll leave this to you as well."
Chu Jingyan, who was seeing her off, said, "......?"
The Lord is truly mysterious.
At the top of the tower, an old man drinking tea by the window twitched his lips.
The master is really good at finding work for people.
Come on, after all, you are the real ancestor.
…
Yun Qingqing sorted out her thoughts along the way and gradually calmed down, but her expression became more and more solemn.
She walked to Xiao Changheng's door and knocked on it.
"Hmm...?" Someone's questioning voice came from the room.
Yun Qingqing was stunned.
The voice was indeed his, but the reaction was a little strange.
Her heart tightened slightly, and she pushed the door open.
A burst of wine aroma hit me in the face, and I saw Xiao Changheng sitting upright at the table, holding a wine jug and cup in his hand, pouring himself some wine.
Yun Qingqing was stunned again, and counted the empty wine jars next to him, feeling somewhat amazed.
She had noticed this man's enormous capacity for alcohol back in Imperial Capital, so how much had he drunk? He didn't look drunk at all.
However, Yun Qingqing had things to do and had no time to think about anything else. She walked straight to the table, grabbed his wrist and tried to pull him up.
"It's urgent. Stop drinking and come with me."
She turned around as usual while speaking, fully expecting that the man would follow her obediently.
But this time she failed to pull him away. Instead, she was pulled hard by the person behind her. She lost her balance and fell directly into his arms, sitting on his legs.
"Eh?" Yun Qingqing was stunned. "What are you doing?"
When she looked up, she saw Xiao Changheng's eyebrows curved, one hand around her waist, and the other hand picked up the wine cup and handed it to her.
"My wife is here. Come, have a drink with me."
As he spoke, the wine cup was about to touch Yun Qingqing's lips, but suddenly it moved away from her.
Xiao Changheng raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.
A question mark slowly appeared in Yun Qingqing's head.
