C604 The Truth
After Qing Zheng finished her instructions, she identified the direction and quickly walked out of the city.
She didn't follow Hui Shoutao back, because she knew that there were enough people along the way. At the same time, she didn't know any medical skills, so it wouldn't be of much use if she went back.
However, if she investigated the matter regarding Xuanyuan Nanxi, it would help relieve the knot in Su Yeh's heart.
She had followed Su Yeh to visit Xuanyuan Nanxi yesterday, so she naturally knew where Xuanyuan Nanxi lived. Moreover, because the five cities of the Xuanyuan Clan were connected, it wasn't difficult to find him.
Not long after that, she arrived at the bridge where she had met Xuanyuan Nanxi yesterday. She knew that she hadn't found the wrong place.
After that, she hid and approached the city gate.
Fortunately, today was the day of the Sky Ranking Challenge Competition, so most of the guards were sent there. It was only because of this that the guards here became loose, allowing her to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, no matter how good Qing Zheng's Light-body Technique was, she would not be able to sneak into the tightly guarded city.
Qing Zheng was very patient. After waiting for four to five hours, she finally understood the pattern of the patrolling guards.
She jumped into the city and moved around in the flowerbed. She then entered the inner city again.
She could already vaguely see the conspicuous courtyard. The place where Xuanyuan Nanxi lived was the most blessed land.
Along the way, she had to be careful, even though she had been discovered. It was extremely likely that the Xuanyuan Clan would not kill people, but what if? Moreover, she had come here to investigate the truth. If she were to report to visit in advance, it definitely wouldn't be the truth that she wanted to see.
After a few more pavilions and pavilions, she discovered that there were quite a number of servants in front of her. It was impossible to avoid so many eyes.
Finally, Qing Zheng looked at the river not far away and had a plan in her mind. She directly sank into the water and slowly advanced from the bottom of the water.
But even so, when she approached Xuanyuan Nannan's courtyard, it was already evening. Seeing that the servants inside went to prepare dinner, she then came out of the water. With two jumps, she directly climbed over the wall and entered.
"I finally came in. I'm exhausted to death!"
Qing Zheng felt a lot more relaxed when she entered. After all, she had been here once yesterday. She first circulated her Genuine Qi to evaporate the clothes around her before walking out openly.
When she saw two servants walking over from afar, she even took the initiative to greet them.
"You two, stand. Where's Madam?"
When the two servants saw Qing Zheng, they were stunned and their faces became more alert as they asked.
"Who are you?"
"What do you mean I am who? I am a guest invited by your wife. She knitted a scarf yesterday and said that the style was not good. I have a few new styles for her to see. Hurry up, where is she? Take me to see her." Qing Zheng's face showed some impatience and her tone also became worse.
When the two servants heard this, they naturally knew that the City Lord's wife had been knitting scarves these past few days and there were no warning slogans outside. It seemed that there was no need to worry, so they replied.
"The wife is not at home. She hasn't returned since she left last night. How about this, I'll call the housekeeper to welcome you."
Qing Zheng's heart was pounding loudly as she asked, "Where did she go? Didn't she go to see Xuanyuan Taiyi yesterday? Was she never back?"
" This, we don't know. " The two servants looked terrified, and as they spoke, they still wanted to call the housekeeper over.
Qing Zheng was afraid of exposing herself and naturally did not want to see the housekeeper. She had always been smart and immediately said, "Meet the housekeeper? What was there to talk about. Are the two ladies at home? Qingmeng, Shengnan and the others."
" Oh, Miss Qingmeng is here. I'll take you there right away."
Not long after, Qing Zheng followed the two servants to the backyard.
Qing Zheng did not seem to care and said," Qing Meng, where did you hide? I have something to talk to you about."
There was a banging sound in one of the rooms, as if something fell to the ground. The door was suddenly opened and it was indeed Xu Qingmeng inside.
When she saw that it was Qing Zheng, her entire body trembled. She hurriedly rushed out and grabbed Qing Zheng's hand, and her voice was incomparably anxious.
"You finally came! Did Su Yeh come? Where is he? "
"He didn't come. I came alone. I have something to talk to you about!" Qing Zheng was thinking about how she should ask about it in order to get some insider information.
But before she could think about it, Xu Qingmeng anxiously said, "You can put it aside for now. Something big has happened here. My mother is also Su Yeh's mother. Something has happened. Quickly think of a way to save her. Something has happened to her... "
Qing Zheng's pupils constricted. Indeed, she had guessed correctly!
...
At this moment.
Night fell.
In the city, Su Yeh was doing the last check on Hui Shoutao.
Standing beside him was the blind Sang Tian, Yang Shen, Yao Xie, and the others. Their expressions were still very nervous.
Su Yeh pulled out the last silver needle and said, "Don't worry. The fatty was fine. He was just injured. His physique is not bad. Let Sang Tian take care of him tonight. Maybe he will be alive and kicking tomorrow."
" It's good that he's fine. Su Dragon King, don't you know that you really scared us to death today? Do you really think that Brother Hui Shoutao is going to be gone?"
Yang Shen's aged face revealed an indignant expression as he continued, "You didn't go and take a look. That Xuan Yuan Family's martial artist has gone too far. They are clearly targeting us. Su Dragon King, why don't you go and kill their prestige."
Su Yeh shook his head. He was no longer interested in this. Although it was a challenge, it was not a challenge to him at all.
"In the path of cultivation, all kinds of setbacks are training, not to mention in the arena. Losing and being humiliated is a common thing."
When the crowd heard him having such a mentality, they did not know what to say for a moment.
He comforted them a few more times before returning to the so-called City Lord Manor. He knew that it was impossible for him to stay by their side for the rest of his life, protecting them. It was only right for them to train a bit.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, there were only a few guards guarding the entrance. He was the only one who lived in the huge Prefecture except for Hui Shoutao. Qing Zheng and the Black and White Elders would not come in.
He stood alone in the courtyard and looked up at the night sky. The night sky was still gray, as if the moon was covered by dark clouds.
No one knew how lonely he was at the moment.
He had already calculated that after the Heaven Roll Challenge, he would ask the law enforcement team. Whether he needed help or not... He might as well return to China and spend more time with his family. Then he would cultivate day after day until he reached the Tribulation Passing stage. He could shatter the void.
The path of cultivation had always been lonely!
At this moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. He sensed a huge flying beast flying over from the night sky.
His eyes darkened. Even under such a dim light... He found that it was a griffin shaped beast pet. The person sitting on top was actually Qing Zheng, and there was another person sitting behind her. However, it was blocked by Qing Zheng.
"I just came back now. It really makes me worry." Su Yeh sighed. He wanted to scold Qing Zheng when she landed.
At this time, he realized that the figure sitting behind Qing Zheng was actually Xu Qingmeng.
"Su Yeh. Something bad has happened!"
Xu Qingmeng rolled over and landed on the back of the griffin. Her cultivation base was not high, so she staggered and almost lost her balance.
Su Yeh did not have a good impression of her. He said:
"What is it?"
"Something happened to mother, something happened to her! She hasn't returned since she left Xuanyuan Taiyi. Something must have happened..." Xu Qingmeng was extremely anxious.0
Su Yeh reached out his hand to stop her and said, "She has her life and her family now. Her matter has nothing to do with me anymore. If there's anything, you don't have to tell me."
Qing Zheng knew Su Yeh's character and said, "Su Yeh, this matter is not right. I heard that Xuanyuan Chong spoke rudely to you today and insulted you as a bastard. But no one in the entire Xuanyuan Clan said anything inappropriate. I found Qing Meng, and after asking, I realized that you misunderstood your mother. The things that happened were too complicated, so I simply stole a beast pet. I escaped with her through the night. All that your mother did was for you! "
In fact, Su Yeh did not want his mother to be that kind of person. His tone became gentler as he asked:
"What happened?"
Xu Qingmeng knew that Su Yeh had never been nice to her. She did not mind this now. She said with a sobbing voice, feeling wronged.
"Actually, your mother has always wanted to go back to the Catacombs. The one she remembers the most is your family. But she can't go back. Great-Grandfather sent someone to capture her. Her goal is very simple. She needs to use the Blood Marrow to nurture Xuanyuan Taiyi. The Xuanyuan Clan did not want to bear this sort of infamy, so they might as well let your mother marry Xuanyuan He. Only they became husband and wife.
Then, no matter how great your mother's sacrifice was, she would become a cripple. That was only natural, because she was the mother of Xuanyuan Taiyi in name. Do you understand? She did not want to get married at all, but she did not agree. The entire Su Family will die!"
