When the Qiu family encountered a crisis, they specifically called Qiu Lingsu back from the academy.
Despite this, he was still in danger twice, thanks to his relationship with Jiang Chen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shuiyue City is the first city in the Southern Region.
The Qiu family is one of the four major families.
Jiang Chen was very curious about what happened.
After a while, he saw Qiu Lingsu's father Qiu Congfeng in the atrium of his house.
A middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, fair face and no beard, giving off an easy-going vibe.
When he saw Jiang Chen, he expressed his sincere thanks and promised that the Qiu family would never forget this kindness.
"Lingsu is my friend, so I should help her."
Jiang Chen didn't want to make things complicated, so he said this.
Qiu Lingsu, who followed, smiled slightly.
When Qiu Congfeng saw her daughter acting like this, she naturally thought of that.
"That is really my daughter's blessing, and it is also the blessing of my Qiu family."
Qiu Congfeng said solemnly: "I have something important to ask for your help."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qiu Congfeng did not tell him immediately, but signaled Tiedong to come, who opened the formation, so that several people were isolated from the world to prevent others from eavesdropping.
"Water Moon City was not originally called this name. It was originally called Star Saint City. It was not the Water Moon Palace that ruled the Southern Territory back then, but the Star Saint."
"The rise of one force means the weakening of the other force."
"Star Holy City was captured by Shuiyue Divine Palace, and all forces in the city surrendered."
"Our Qiu family is no exception."
"To be honest, our Qiu family was once the confidant of that Star Saint."
Qiu Congfeng tells a secret history of the Southern Region.
And once the last few words get out, it will cause a lot of disaster.
He told Jiang Chen that an outsider was either an idiot or had other agendas.
Jiang Chen naturally thought it was the latter.
"Now, the Palace Master of the Water Moon Palace is about to be rebuilt. The new Palace Master will definitely not be as powerful as he was at his peak. The old Star Saints intend to overthrow the Water Moon Palace at that time."
Qiu Congfeng revealed an amazing secret.
"So it's the Star Saint's old tribe that's dealing with me?" Qiu Lingsu guessed.
"Maybe it is, maybe it's not."
Qiu Congfeng said helplessly: "It may be that the Star Saint's old department intends to use you to blackmail me, or it may be that the Shuiyue Divine Palace intends to capture you and contain me."
Jiang Chen said: "May I ask if the Qiu family master plans to continue to support Shuiyue Divine Palace, or to overthrow them?"
This is the key.
"I don't even want to."
Qiu Congfeng smiled bitterly and said: "We don't want to make any choice. We have returned to the Moon God Palace. No matter what decision we make now, we will be criticized by thousands of people."
"So they operated on your daughter and forced you to make a choice." Jiang Chen said.
Qiu Congfeng's expression changed and he said: "So I hope that the young master can protect Lingsu until the day when Lord Shuiyue takes over."
"Why me?"
"There are many people in the Qiu family that I can trust."
Qiu Congfeng said and glanced at Tiedong Lai, "But in extraordinary times, the Qiu family is short of manpower, and I can't trust outsiders. You saw those retainers just now."
"Do the Qiu family want to wait until the outcome of the conflict between the Water Moon Divine Palace and the Star Saint's old tribe is resolved before they are willing to take a stand?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, the Qiu family now pursues the golden mean."
"It was also the day when the palace master changed. I happened to be worried about where to go. I had such a wonderful job, so of course I wouldn't refuse it." Jiang Chen said.
Qiu Lingsu next to her looked coy and shy as she thought about spending time with him day and night for the next month.
"Thank you, sir." Qiu Cong said.
At this point, Jiang Chen stayed at Qiu's house and arranged to enter Qiu Lingsu's courtyard.
This is also to better protect the safety of Qiulingsu.
"The master of the Qiu family is at his peak as a demigod, but I can feel the aura belonging to the true god deep within the Qiu family."
Jiang Chen recalled what Qiu Congfeng said and curled his lips, "The golden mean? Go ahead and lie to ghosts!"
Qiu Congfeng definitely didn't tell the truth, which was inevitable, after all, it was the first time they met.
Because it doesn't have much to do with him, I'm too lazy to dig into it.
"Jiang Chen, aren't you an old member of Star Saint?"
Qiu Lingsu said mysteriously.
"Why do you say that?"
"Look, you have a mysterious origin, you are powerful, and you went to the Shuiyue Divine Palace on the day when power was transferred, doesn't it fit in well?" Qiu Lingsu analyzed.
"This is a good guess. It's obvious and logical." Jiang Chen nodded.
If he didn't know how he came into this world, he would never have thought of it in his dreams.
"My father must have guessed it, and he still asked you to protect me, which means that my father is still loyal to the old branch of Star Saint." Qiu Lingsu said.
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you also yearn for the Star Saint."
"Of course."
Qiu Lingsu did not shy away from the benefactor who saved her twice in a row, "When the Water Moon Palace rose, the Star Saint was a legend in the Southern Region, the object of countless people's desires, and he strongly rejected the Star Alliance."
"oh?"
The last sentence aroused Jiang Chen's interest.
So, he learned about the Star Saint's deeds from Qiu Lingsu's mouth.
"She looks a lot like me."
After listening, Jiang Chen said sincerely.
"If you are about the same age, it does look similar, but there is one thing that is not the same, that is, he died and you are still alive."
"No, it's the same. I also fell."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Those who go against the general trend will never end well."
"Heroes are often people like this." Qiu Lingsu said.
hero!
These two words carry a heavier weight than strong.
Even if the true god covers the sky with one hand, people will only call him strong, powerful, and immortal.
However, the word hero is rarely used.
Because in a situation of endless struggle for interests, everyone is for themselves. No matter how strong they are, they cannot be called heroes.
"Do you want your father to side with the Star Saint's old branch?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Qiu Lingsu put her mouth to Jiang Chen's ear and said, "Everyone in the Southern Territory has hope in their hearts."
After saying that, she ran away quickly, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Oh."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and looked at Qiu Lingsu's back, "I hope you won't be disappointed."
Qiu Lingsu thought that her father was on the side of the Star Saint's old branch and didn't say anything on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart.
Jiang Chen, who had experienced so much, felt that there was something fishy in this.
As the saying goes, it's none of your business.
In the next few days, Qiu Lingsu knew that she was in danger, so she wisely did not go out and stayed at home.
However, when she didn't go out, someone came to her door.
"Okay, I haven't seen you do anything since I've been back for so many days. It turns out there is a beautiful man hiding in the house."
A very pleasant voice sounded from outside the door.
He came directly to the inner courtyard without being notified. In this extraordinary period, the person who came must be someone who made the Qiu family feel very relieved.
"Lingguang, why are you in the city too?"
Qiu Lingsu was bored at home for a few days, and her eyes lit up when she saw her friend come to her door.
"I've heard that you brought back a young man. I came here specially to have a look. I didn't expect it to be true."
