"So you guys have been in contact for a long time..." Chai Yan was a little surprised.
"No..." Xiao Tongtian hurriedly explained: "About a year ago, Xiao learned the whereabouts of your master and apprentice through many inquiries. At that time, Xiao went to find you, but you two masters and apprentices
But you were not at home. Xiao waited nearby for half a month, but you still didn't come back, so Xiao had to leave a letter under your master's pillow. The letter contained my address...
..."
When Yuan Yuan recalled it, he indeed went out with his master for a long time a year ago.
"Xiao Yuan, didn't your master tell you about Xin?" Xiao Tongtian asked.
Yuan Yuan shook his head: "No, Master has never mentioned the letter, but when you said that, I remembered it. A year ago, when we came back from outside, Master said as soon as he entered the door that someone at home had come in, but when Master entered the room
After resting for a while, he suddenly changed his mind and said that he had made a mistake and no one had been here..."
Chai Yan immediately said: "That's right, your master must have seen the letter Xiao Tongtian left under the pillow, that's why he said that!"
Yuan Yuan nodded, thinking that this should be the reason, otherwise with Master's personality, he would definitely order himself to investigate carefully.
"Ahem..." Xiao Tongtian covered his chest, coughed twice, and asked: "Xiaoyuan, your master was fine a year ago, why did he suddenly pass away?
"
Yuanyuan shook his head and said with sad eyes: "Master's health has been gradually getting worse since three years ago. A year ago, I went out with Master and went to Huaidu to find a famous doctor for treatment, but...
..But even the famous doctors couldn’t cure the master...The master still passed away a month ago..."
Xiao Tongtian suddenly closed his eyes, raised his head and sighed softly, his expression suddenly extremely lonely...
Chai Yan asked: "Xi Yuan, did your master's last words really tell you to come to him for revenge?"
"Is this a lie?" Yuan Yuan immediately said: "During the time when Master was in poor health, I stayed by Master's side day and night. Master often talked in his sleep after he fell asleep, although I couldn't hear clearly what Master said.
What, but Master was very fierce when he talked in his sleep, and I could tell at a glance that he was cursing... Later, one time, I finally heard Master clearly call out the name Xiao Tongtian...
"
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
After hearing these words, Xiao Tongtian suddenly became furious and coughed violently.
"Master, are you okay?" The cough immediately attracted the hunchbacked old man.
Xiao Tongtian shook his head at him, indicating that he was fine, and the hunchbacked old man had no choice but to walk away with a worried look on his face.
After the coughing stopped, Xiao Tongcai asked slowly: "Xiaoyuan, can you tell me what Yumo said to you before he died?"
Chai Yan thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, just say it again, because based on what we know so far, your master should never let you come to him for revenge. Is there anything you understand?"
Did you mean something wrong?"
"How could it be wrong?" Yuanyuan immediately became anxious and emphasized: "Master called me to her before she died. The first thing she did was to tell me the address. She didn't tell me the address until I memorized it every word.
I felt relieved, Master said a lot of thoughtful words, and finally took my hand and told me again and again that I must come here to seek revenge on Xiao Tongtian!"
"Oh, it seems that Yumo must be hating me for not staying with her..."
Xiao Tongtian lowered his head and sighed while feeling regretful. It would have been nice if he had waited a few more days to go find them that time!
Chai Yan was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the expression on Yuanyuan's face, so he immediately asked her: "What's wrong with you?"
Yuanyuan slowly raised his head and looked at Chai Yan, and said with a slight lack of confidence: "Actually... Master didn't finish his last sentence at that time..."
Chai Yan immediately asked for details: "鸱鸱, please be more specific about the situation at that time. What exactly happened?"
Chai Yan thought that maybe something went wrong here!
Yuanyuan recalled seriously: "My master was very ill at that time and was unable to speak. My master told me that I must come to Xiao Tongtian for revenge, but she passed away before she could say the word of revenge..."
..”
"Huh?" Chai Yan stared at Yuyuan with wide eyes, and then he reacted and said: "In other words, the word revenge was made up by your own imagination?"
"Imagine on your own?"
"Uh... You just guessed it yourself. You took it for granted that what your master wanted to say was revenge..."
Yuanyuan nodded sheepishly, admitting that the word revenge was her own guess.
Chai Yan stood up and walked a few steps in the room, then suddenly turned around and said, "Could it be that what your master wants to tell you is not revenge, but something else?"
"How could it be? Master was scolding him even in his dreams. If he didn't want to take revenge, what would he say?"
After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Tongtian.
With a "pop", Chai Yan snapped his fingers and suddenly realized: "I know, what your master wants to say is the word 'en'! Yuanyuan, your master didn't ask you to take revenge, she asked you to do it."
You are repaying your kindness!"
"Repay the favor?" Yuanyuan looked at Chai Yan in shock.
"Yes, even though Xiao Tongtian never raised you, he took you back and is your benefactor after all!" Chai Yan said.
Then, Chai Yan said again: "Think about it, if Xiao Tongtian is your master's enemy, why has she never mentioned it for so many years, but why did she mention the matter of revenge when she was dying? Also, your master must know that Xiao Tongtian
Tian's martial arts skills are far superior to yours. If she asks you to retaliate,
Qiu, wouldn't it mean that you died in vain? According to me, her original intention must be that she was worried that no one would take care of you after she left. She was worried, so before she died, she specifically asked you to come here to join Xiao Tongtian! But who knows the conspiracy?
It was a mistake and things went against our wishes..."
The more Xiao Tongtian thought about it, the more he felt that Chai Yan's words made sense, and he couldn't help but nodded vigorously in agreement.
Yuan Yuan was shocked but also drummed in his heart. Could it be that he had really made a mistake? What the master wanted to say was actually repaying kindness, not revenge?
This, this, this...could it be that I really made a mistake in all of this?
For a moment, Yuan Yuan held her forehead and her mind was in a mess...
Chai Yan and Xiao Tongtian didn't speak. Now it's time for Yuan Yuan to calm down and figure out the joints.
PS: I deleted, wrote, and deleted this chapter, and went back and forth two or three times. I was exhausted...
