"Wuling City? Wasn't that place occupied by Zhu Yin twelve years ago?"
Hearing this, Ziyu muttered something strange.
When she said this, she was suddenly startled.
Previously, Chu Zhaozhao was just an outer disciple. With a few jars of good wine, he obtained the mission to Wuling City from Lu Sandao through Qinghuan Mansion.
After returning, he was promoted by his junior uncle to become the direct disciple of Qingque Peak.
Before, Ziyu once thought that what the junior uncle said was that he had taken a fancy to Chu Zhaozhao's potential early on, and that he went to Wuling City just to test her.
Chu Qingxiao even bought one get one free because of Chu Zhaozhao, and got an advantage to join Qingque Peak.
But now that Chu Qingxiao's words came out, Ziyu finally understood that all this was an excuse made by the junior uncle to cover up Chu Qingxiao's identity.
However, the emergence of such a clear understanding is accompanied by more doubts.
Twelve years ago, Wuling City was destroyed and people were destroyed, and there were even rumors that the area was once transformed into a dark realm.
So how did Chu Qingxiao survive these twelve years?
He looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old at the moment. Going back twelve years, he looks like he is only five or six years old. How could a child of this age be able to fight his way out of such a tight siege in Wuling City?
And what is his relationship with his junior uncle?
Since the young uncle cared about him so much, why did he wait for twelve years to rescue him?
This series of questions rushed into Ziyu's mind at this moment, and her head was in chaos as if it had been filled with paste.
At the same time, after hearing this, Yue Jian also looked at Chu Qingxiao with wide eyes.
"How is it possible? You were only five or six years old when my father went to Wuling City. How did you survive all these years?" Yue Jian obviously had the same doubts as Ziyu.
Chu Qingxiao looked troubled. He glanced at the people around him. Before he could say anything, Chu Zhaozhao understood what he meant.
She also looked at Ziyu and others and said, "Everyone, please let Yue Jian and Qing Xiao talk alone."
For this reason, Meng Jin understood that Chu Qingxiao had some secrets that could not be told to outsiders. She quickly said: "That's fine, Yue Jian, you have to believe Mr. Chu, he will not lie to you."
Meng Jin persuaded like this, pulling Meng Ziliang aside to leave.
But Meng Ziliang didn't know which tendon was wrong at this time, but he stood still, frowning and said: "Actually, I think, Brother Chu, please listen more to Yue Jian."
"Her own father, she shouldn't admit her mistake..."
"There's so much nonsense!" Meng Jin was immediately displeased upon hearing this and scolded angrily.
She obviously believed in Chu Qingxiao's judgment more than her brother. After saying this, she reached out her hand, pinched Meng Ziliang's ears as usual, and pulled him to leave.
"No...sister, let's stay and help." Meng Ziliang obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and when he was pulled away by the ear, he couldn't stop talking.
"It's the greatest help if you don't cause trouble!" But Meng Jin ignored Meng Ziliang's request at all and dragged him away.
"Then let's go and drink some wine." Lu Sandao glanced at the people present, picked up the wine jar, turned around and left unsteadily.
Although Ziyu was a little curious, she also understood that there were some things and it was not the time yet, so she simply turned and left.
So at this moment, only Chu Qingxiao, Chu Zhaozhao and the Song family's father and daughter were left in the house.
…
Song Guicheng didn't seem to understand the situation at hand. He looked at Yue Jian, who had a serious face, and then at Chu Qingxiao, who had a gloomy face, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean I'm dead? Aren't I living a good life?"
Chu Qingxiao glanced at him and ignored him.
Instead, he stared at Yue Jian and said, "If you want to know the truth, then I will tell you everything."
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Guicheng, who was standing behind Yue Jian.
Chu Zhaozhao also reacted. She walked forward and whispered: "You come out with me too."
"Why? What are you going to do to my daughter?" Song Guicheng became excited when he saw this. He shouted loudly, completely different from the helpless look he had when he faced Chu Qingxiao just now.
And in the eyes of Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao, his behavior was just a joke.
"Why can't he listen? He is my father!" Yue Jian also said.
Chu Qingxiao said: "There are some things, knowing it means that there is no way to escape from them. I am doing it for his own good, if he is still worthy of living."
Chu Qingxiao has experienced many lives and deaths in Wuling City, but even so, he is not the kind of person who likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
In his mind, taking away human life is already something that needs to be treated seriously.
At least he had to make sure that he really deserved to die, or that he had reached a life-or-death situation.
The secrets about Wuling City and himself were already related to his own safety, and even to Yue Jian's safety. If such secrets were heard by an outsider, especially if the outsider had evil intentions, Chu Qingxiao would no longer be able to
Give him a chance to live.
Let this fake person leave. In fact, it is Chu Qingxiao who gives the other party a chance to survive.
However, the fake didn't seem to appreciate Chu Qingxiao's kindness.
Hearing this, he said loudly: "You said I am dead, why can't I hear how I died?"
"Besides, you don't have the final say on what's true or false. It's up to my family to judge, right? You want to lie, but you're afraid of being exposed by me, so you want to drive me away?"
"I'll put my words here today. With me as my father, from today on, don't even think about lying to my family again!"
Chu Qingxiao frowned when he heard this, and when he looked at the counterfeit, murderous intent suddenly surged in his eyes.
Deep down in his heart, he had long been dissatisfied with this guy pretending to be Song Guicheng, and he had been suppressing the murderous intention in his heart.
Letting him dodge at this moment was already the end of Chu Qingxiao's benevolence.
Since he didn't appreciate it, Chu Qingxiao would naturally not say anything more. Knowing such a secret and doing such evil things, Chu Qingxiao would never tolerate him.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao no longer chased away this impostor, but looked at Yue Jian and said.
"I grew up in Wuling City. When Zhu Yin besieged the city in the 12th year, my father and uncle both died in Zhu Yin's hands."
"In order to avenge them, I joined Xizhou Jianjia. It was at that time that I met your father, Song Guicheng."
"Not only him, but also Qian An, Lu San, Zhu Quanfu, and Jia Chen."
"You should be impressed by some of these people, right?"
"I know them all, and I watched them all die in front of me."
Chu Qingxiao's words made Yue Jian stunned again. She naturally remembered some of them. They were her father's friends. When they were young, some of them had been guests at her home.
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao reached into the Qiankun Sword Box behind him and took out a broken sword.
He held these broken swords in both hands and brought them one by one to Yue Jian: "This is your father's broken sword..."
"This is Brother Qian An's second watch..."
"This is Uncle Lu San's Everlasting Hate Water..."
"This is Jia Chen's front door..."
Chu Qingxiao introduced the treasures to Yue Jian.
Yue Jian looked at the broken swords and his heart trembled.
She had seen Chu Qingxiao use these swords, but she did not recognize them.
After all, she was less than six years old when Song Guicheng left, so many memories have been blurred, and...
At that time, because she was young, she didn't have much exposure to these things.
At this moment, when Chu Qingxiao reported these names one by one, the dusty memories in her mind began to loosen, and the blurry images in her memory began to overlap with the broken swords in front of her.
"The swordsmanship I use was also taught by Commander Song and others. If you don't believe it, you can ask Senior Xu, he knows." Chu Qingxiao said again.
Hearing this, Yue Jian looked up at Chu Qingxiao and asked in surprise, "Grandpa Xu knows your identity?"
Chu Qingxiao nodded, looking a little guilty.
"I knew your identity when we went to Night Python City together."
"But I don't dare to recognize you, and I don't dare to tell you about Commander Song's death. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it. I just want to stay by your side and do my best to protect you."
"I promised Commander Song that if I find you one day, I will protect you with my life."
Yue Jian reacted immediately. She finally understood why Chu Qingxiao's attitude towards her suddenly changed after going to Yemang City, and she also understood why he proposed to return to Xizhou with her...
Everything seemed to make sense at this point.
Thinking of this, Yue Jian turned around and looked tremblingly at Song Guicheng behind her.
Her eyes became hesitant, and her heart was obviously shaken.
And such a look made Song Guicheng obviously panic.
He quickly said: "Qingqing! Don't listen to this little bastard's nonsense."
"He said he wanted to avenge his father and uncle, so he got acquainted with Song Guicheng, whom he mentioned."
"But twelve years ago, he was only five or six years old!"
"What can he do to avenge his father and uncle?"
"No matter how desperate our Xizhou Jianjia is, we can't let a five- or six-year-old child go to the battlefield, right?"
"Qingqing, this little bastard is just lying to you. I am your father! Can you still not recognize me?"
These words awakened Yue Jian like an enlightenment.
Yue Jian also looked back at Chu Qingxiao at this time and asked: "Yes, if what you said is true, how could you have joined Xizhou Jianjia twelve years ago?"
Chu Qingxiao had already anticipated this problem.
At this moment, he and Chu Zhaozhao looked at each other, and Chu Zhaozhao nodded towards him.
Chu Qingxiao seemed to find courage from her actions.
At this moment, he looked at Yue Jian again, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
"because……"
"Twelve years ago, I was already like this."
"To some extent, I should actually be thirty years old this year..."
