C1675 People We Need to Look up to

Hearing Xie Lingquan finally admit that he wasn't an ordinary person, Liu Lei's eyes also lit up.

Now he had finally verified his guess. All his previous guesses had a basis.

As long as Xie Yuqing and her family were not ordinary people, there was a need to continue the conversation.

"Father-in-law, who exactly is your family? Now can you tell me? "

Liu Lei asked expectantly.

This was because he was also curious about this matter. Adding to his own wife, Xie Yuqing, was one of them, he wanted to know the truth even more.

He felt that since Xie Lingquan had admitted to it, it would be logical for him to reveal his true identity.

But he never would have thought that Xie Lingquan would directly refuse and decisively said:

"Sorry, we can't tell you our identities."

"I can only tell you, our identities are indeed related to the Cultivator, but we are not the Cultivator."

"This... "Why can't you tell me …"

Liu Lei was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Lingquan to be unwilling to tell him even at such a time. He had to hide it from him.

"Father-in-law, we're a family now, right? Do you have to keep it a secret so tightly?"

Liu Lei frowned and was a bit unhappy.

This was different from what he had expected. Everyone would be unhappy. It was very normal.

Plus, everyone was from the same family, so they had to keep it a secret. This made them even more unhappy.

He felt that Xie Lingquan treated him as an outsider, otherwise why would he treat him like that?

Xie Lingquan also felt Liu Lei's unhappiness and quickly explained.

"Lei, don't misunderstand me. I did not treat you as a family. That's why I hid it from you."

"Think about it, I'm not even keeping my own daughter in the dark. Don't I think of her as a family?"

"Since you're hiding it, then you must have your reasons. It's definitely not because you're a family."

Hearing Xie Lingquan's explanation, Liu Lei's expression relaxed a lot.

If he thought about it carefully, that made sense. After all, Xie Lingquan didn't even tell his own daughter, so it wasn't impossible for him to understand why he hid it from his son-in-law.

"Alright, father-in-law, I believe you have your own difficulties."

"But I ask you to explain a little more so that I can accept it. Otherwise, I will get to the bottom of it."

Liu Lei said firmly.

If Xie Lingquan really didn't want to say it, then there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't force his father by force. It was impossible for him to treat his father in law like this.

But at the very least, he wanted to hear more explanations so that he could convince himself to accept this matter.

This was their bottom line. At the very least, they had to do so.

Xie Lingquan hesitated for a moment and sighed:

"Alright, then I'll tell you a few more things."1

"Actually, I have to hide this from you. This is also what your master wanted us to do."

"Because your current cultivation level isn't high enough, so you can't know too much for now."

"Even the marriage agreement between you and our family's Little Qing is partly a result of your master adding a layer of shackles to prevent us from betraying each other.

"So you're my master's subordinates?"

Liu Lei couldn't help but ask.

"Something like that, but not all of it."

"After all, ordinary people like us aren't qualified to be the subordinates of big figures like your master."

"Your master is someone we have to look up to. How can he be his subordinate that easily?"

Xie Lingquan shook his head and answered.
