These words made Yi Boqi pause in his steps; Qing Zhen was the least likely person to lie to him.
Because he is the second Xiao Jin, a special life form born from himself.
But these words also made Yi Boqi understand a lot, so he knew that his mother must have something to say to him when he came back this time.
The Daqi Imperial Palace is very large. Inside a pavilion on a hillside covered with bamboo groves, two old men are playing chess and drinking tea.
One is Su Dalu, the chief steward of the Daqi Imperial Palace, and the other is someone who shouldn't be here at all.
Because his name was Yi Jiubo, and he was also Bo Jiudao of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
"You couldn't resist anymore?"
Soda Lu picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, then smiled and asked Uncle Qi Jiu across from him.
“You’re right. My father’s expectations for this little guy were indeed miscalculated. I thought that after Yun Qin’s crushing defeat, he would definitely lead his men to crush his way here. I also secretly laid out a plan so that as long as he came, this overwhelming killing intent would become his strongest armor. Alas, what a pity.”
Uncle Jiu picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, then spoke again.
"There's no point in hiding it from him now. It's time to be completely honest with him. Otherwise, given the kid's temper, he might cause some trouble."
Soda Lu shook his head upon hearing this.
"You'd better keep some things to yourself. Your father raised so many descendants of the He clan in Yunqin. His real purpose was to cultivate Qi'er's murderous aura."
"He believed that Qi'er, who had fought his way through countless battles, was extremely violent and that as the only son, he would never allow anyone to threaten his position. Therefore, those descendants of the He clan in Yunqin were all meant for Qi'er to kill."
“Killing blood relatives intensifies the killing intent, and there is no one he cannot bring himself to do it to. But Qi’er is not like that, nor does he have that kind of violent spirit. If Qi’er finds out about this inside story…”
“Even you, the ancestor of their lineage, will be excluded by him. Trying to get Qi’er to integrate will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.”
Soda Lu spoke softly, but what he said caused the temperature in the bamboo forest to drop sharply.
This is a huge secret, and also a conspiracy that violates human ethics. The mastermind behind this conspiracy is none other than the clan's ancestor, Ye Laoxie.
Uncle Yi's hand, which had picked up a chess piece, remained suspended in mid-air, unable to fall for a long time.
He knew that Soda Lu was right. After a long while, he still couldn't put the piece down, and finally put it back in the bowl with some dejection.
"But if we do that, all our efforts will be in vain, all our long-term plans will be for naught."
Soda Lu refilled his tea and then put down the teapot.
"Let nature take its course. Forcing a change will only backfire. You should already know Qi'er's personality."
As he spoke, he gently pointed to the core of the imperial palace.
"Do you think that Qi'er's mother's words, 'My son is the apple of my eye, and I would do anything for him,' were just empty words? The reason she has always refused to leave Daqi is actually because she is wary of you."
"And what about Qi'er's father, Jiu Sheng? Do you think he went to the Qi clan just to find his relatives?"
"I'm afraid he's also wary of what you might do to Qi'er. He burned his own bones and dantian for his son, just so his son could live and live happily. Why does he always glare at Qi'er the moment they meet?"
"That's not because he doesn't like his only son, but because he wants to tell you that my son can do whatever he wants, according to his own heart. Only by doing things according to one's heart can one live happily. He also wants to tell you that I, as his father, will not interfere with my son's actions, and no one else can either."
"When he went to the Qi Clan, he actually integrated the power of the Qi Clan. If you really intend to do something to Qi'er, you will suffer a devastating blow from the original Qi Clan."
“The Qi clan now recognizes Qi’er even more than your father, the ancestor of the Qi clan.”
He chuckled after saying that.
"And that little fat boy from the Zhang family, he's a rebellious bastard. The Zhang family was left to Qi'er by your father, but that little fat boy is unwilling to let his daughter be manipulated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let that fire unicorn accompany that little girl to the Eastern Divine Land, and he wouldn't have secretly destroyed Yun Qin's Dao heart."
"What is he after? Isn't it just that he doesn't want everything to go according to your father's plan?"
Soda Lu rolled up his sleeves and spoke again.
“I’m sure that little fat boy had murderous intent toward Qi’er, but the reason he didn’t do it was because he discovered that Qi’er was not growing up as your father had expected. Xiao Feng’er, who doted on him, genuinely loved him, and it wasn’t just your father’s plan to use Xiao Feng’er as a cultivation vessel.”
He glanced at Uncle Jiu, who remained silent.
"And my senior sister, your mother, do you really think she didn't know your father was using her? Did she really not know that you were hiding in Yunqin?"
"She knew, but she didn't expose it or go looking for you because of her disappointment in you. However, she went to see Qi'er and left Wuji Temple to Qi'er instead of you. The reason for this is that Qi'er did not grow up according to your father's expectations."
“He is Qi Boqi, Qi Boqi who grew up according to his own will, the little Qi’er who is loved and cherished by all his subordinates, clansmen, and blood relatives. Even I will not allow you to do anything to him.”
After finishing his sentence, Soda Lu stopped talking and began to quietly sip his tea.
Uncle Jiu sighed deeply, then a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Never mind."
Just two words, but they represent no longer being demanding, letting go of his obsessions, and that he will no longer force Yi Boqi to do anything.
Everything is preordained. Anyway, we're almost at that final moment. Whether it's destruction or preservation... let nature take its course.
His state of mind was the same as that of Da San.
I like this version of He Boqi, but it's not the He Boqi that He Laoxie wanted.
"You actually already made up your mind to come to Daqi, but you just wanted me to say it to dispel any remaining concerns."
Soda Lu shook his head again after making a joke.
"In fact, Qi'er's temperament is like yours the most, after all, you are the true ancestor of his lineage."
This made Uncle Jiu laugh out loud.
The laughter contained a profound sense of relief, as well as the exhilaration of having all the shackles in one's heart lifted.
“You watched me grow up, and you were the one who brought me to this divine land in the East. So your words are more important to me than those of my father.”
After laughing, he looked up at the scenery in the imperial palace and sighed softly.
"If possible, living out my remaining years here would be a good decision. Everyone who sees me will call me 'Ancestor'."
"When I have nothing to do, I can play with my little grandson. I have lived in Yunqin for many years, but such a scene has never happened before."
"Sigh, I've missed out on the joy of family time."
After saying that, he pointed to the chessboard in front of him.
"Then the little guy will chat with his mother for a while, let's finish this game of chess first."
"I think I should be able to beat you."
P.S.: Happy 520, brothers! Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night of constant gunfire, so take it easy, brothers.
