C961 What Happened in the past

After a night, Zi Tianhao and Consort Shu successfully completed their first dual cultivation.

"So this is dual cultivation. It feels really good!" Consort Shu couldn't help but sigh after opening her eyes.

"There will be even better ones in the future!" Zi Tianhao teased her mischievously.

"Then we'll talk about it in the future. Don't let your imagination run wild for now." Consort Shu glared at Zi Tianhao, but her delicate face couldn't help but turn slightly red. Although she was older than Zi Tianhao and stronger than him, however, in terms of feelings, she had always been blank. It wasn't until she met Zi Tianhao that she realized that she wasn't the kind of woman who didn't know how to love.

"Haha!" Zi Tianhao laughed loudly and continued, "Then let's continue tomorrow. Since the foundation of this dual cultivation is very important, then we must have sufficient consolidation."

"Alright." Consort Shu nodded.

After that, Zi Tianhao left Mei Hou Pavillion. When he returned to the Martial Arts Institute, he saw Ling Lan standing in the courtyard absent-mindedly.

"Lan..." Zi Tianhao called out.

Ling Lan saw that Zi Tianhao had returned and her delicate body trembled. She immediately went up to him and said, "Where did you run off to?"

"To help Consort Mo heal?" Zi Tianhao made up an excuse. If it was a dual cultivation, he would probably be jealous again.

"Does it take so long to treat an injury?" Ling Lan also asked suspiciously.

"Consort Mo's injury is not an ordinary injury..." Zi Tianhao replied.

"Then Consort Mo should be fine, right?" Ling Lan asked.

"She's fine, but I might need to treat her for a while." Zi Tianhao said.

"You really have good luck with women!" Ling Lan immediately showed a bit of jealousy and rolled her eyes at Zi Tianhao.

"Don't think that you are wrong. I am very pure." Zi Tianhao replied with an innocent face.

"Only a ghost would believe you. If you had so many beautiful girls with you, I wouldn't be able to recover my memory. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I am missing one." Ling Lan deliberately said unhappily.

"Who said that? Lan, you are my real fiancée. No one can be short of you!" Zi Tianhao immediately said sweetly.

"Nonsense!" Ling Lan said, but she was still very happy in her heart. How could there be a woman who did not like to listen to love words!

"Oh right, where is Bai Xue?" Zi Tianhao asked.

"She went to cultivate." Ling Lan said and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You came back just in time. There is something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Zi Tianhao frowned.

"I found someone watching the Martial Arts Institute yesterday," Ling Lan said with a frown, "but they are quite strong, and by the time I found them, they had already slipped away."

"Could it be the Zi Family?" When Zi Tianhao heard this, the first person he suspected was the Zi Family.

"It's possible, but didn't the Zi Family do anything before this? Why did they suddenly attack now?" Ling Lan asked.

"Actually, there is something that I have never told anyone." Zi Tianhao hesitated.

"What is it?" Ling Lan looked at Zi Tianhao with her beautiful eyes.

"When I was in Purgatory of Fire, Elder Xuan Long of Zi Family tried to kill me." Zi Tianhao said.

"What?" Ling Lan was startled, " What happened after that?"

"How could it be so easy for him to kill me? In the end... Or give up. However, this was not the most important thing. What was important was... Elder Xuan Long seems to be in cahoots with the group that attacked us. Thus... I suspect that the Zi Family might also be in cahoots with them. " Zi Tianhao had a skeptical look on his face.

"Could it be that the Zi Family has colluded with outsiders to harm Xuan Yi Stage?!" Ling Lan knew that if this was true, then what happened earlier would be more complicated than she had imagined.1

"This is possible, so I plan to investigate further." Zi Tianhao said.

"What do you plan to do?" Ling Lan asked.

"According to my information, my father had a few trusted elders in the Divine Weapon. However, most of them were killed back then, but one of them was still in Zi Family. Now, he has been living in seclusion. If I can find him... Perhaps I can find out how Zi Tianjun schemed to usurp the throne in the past. Therefore... I want to sneak into the Zi Family tonight... "Zi Tianhao had thought of this before, but he had never found the right time.

"Then I'll go with you." Ling Lan immediately said when she heard that.

"No need. It's not like we are going to fight. We are just going to do an investigation. Besides, I need you to protect Bai Xue for me because the Zi Family will definitely not deal with me directly..." Zi Tianhao knew that the Zi Family would do anything to deal with him.

"But you are alone..." Ling Lan was still worried.

"Don't worry. I have Big Lion as my bodyguard. Other than a Martial Sovereign level expert, no one else should be able to hurt me now." Zi Tianhao smiled calmly.

"Then you have to be careful." Ling Lan reminded.

Zi Tianhao nodded and went into the house.

The night wind was blowing and the moon was high up in the sky.

In the silent inner courtyard of Zi Family, a ghostly figure was shuttling through the night sky, as if nothing had happened to the disciples of Zi Family who were patrolling nearby.

Not long after that, the figure entered the most remote and isolated courtyard in the inner courtyard of Zi Family. This courtyard seemed to have been out of repair for a long time, and it was filled with dried leaves and dust. It seemed like no one had cleaned it for a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that one of the dilapidated houses was lit, it would definitely make people think that it was an abandoned courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, he stood in the middle of the courtyard and stared at the flickering, dilapidated house.

However, after a moment, the door of the dilapidated house opened. An aged figure walked out, wearing a heavy shackle on his feet. He looked like a prisoner, but the old man seemed to be used to it. He walked out of the broken house with firm steps and stared at the man in the yard. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Young Lord... Young Lord, is that really you?" The old man cried out in excitement.

"Elder Hai, how have you been?" Zi Tianhao's eyes narrowed as he called out. The person in front of him was one of his father's trusted elders. He was also the only one who survived. Therefore, he felt that the reason why Elder Hai was able to survive... It was probably because Zi Tianjun had bought it back then.

"Young Lord, are you here for revenge? I knew this day would come after I heard that Young Lord wasn't dead. Besides, I have waited for a long time. Let me atone for my mistake in the past! " As Elder Hai spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he was filled with regret.

"It seems like you really betrayed my father back then." Zi Tianhao wasn't surprised by Elder Hai's words.

"I have let down the patriarch and Young Lord. If I had reminded the patriarch in time, the patriarch wouldn't have been so careless..." Elder Hai blamed himself.

"It's too late to regret now. I will end your life with my own hands. However, I don't know much about what happened back then. Thus, I hope that Elder Hai can tell me the truth. " Zi Tianhao said with a cold expression.

"What happened that year was just like what happened yesterday to me. I can't forget what happened three days ago, when the patriarch was killed. That day, as usual, I was in charge of arranging the patrolling guards. Second Master Zi suddenly came to find me. He said that he was giving me a chance to be promoted. Young Lord also knew that at that time, I was only an elder in charge of the administration room and didn't have much status in the Zi Family. Furthermore, I was the weakest amongst the elders. Thus, no one thought highly of me. So, I thought that if I had the chance... Naturally, I want to fight for it..." Elder Hai began to talk about what happened back then.
