Chapter 1425 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"So, you arranged for those two corpses to be there too?" Yan Rugo asked, but her tone was certain.
"So what if it is?" Shen Linsu smiled. "But I didn't expect that his death was just a rumor spread by the underworld. Not only was he unharmed, but he also returned on the day of the funeral. If he had returned any later, it might have really embarrassed Xiaolan and me. The timing of his return was both bad and perfect."
"In the end, you got what you wanted."
“We’ve come this far, and Xiaolan has also fallen for me. We missed each other last time, but this time the timing is perfect. How could I possibly give up?” Shen Linsu said matter-of-factly, without feeling that there was anything wrong with his actions.
So that's really how it is. At that time, Ah-Zhuang had certainly guessed that someone had done it on purpose.
After all, she had the client's memories, so she could roughly guess many things, but she could only be completely certain after hearing them from the two of them.
"Once everything is over, how can you be sure that your sister-in-law will forgive you and won't have a rift with you?" Yan Rugo asked again.
Shen Linsu said, "She will. Xiaolan is a very dependent person. As long as I treat her well enough, she won't care too much about anything else. In the future, when I have wealth, martial arts secrets, and maybe even the secret to immortality, I can take her and her daughter to live a secluded life like immortals, where no one can disturb us. Doesn't she like that kind of life? So, she won't mind."
"What about Yue'er?" Yan Rugo asked.
Shen Linsu said, "Because of Zhang's daughter, this girl definitely holds a grudge against me. Our relationship will not be the same as before. Even without evidence, she will not be close to me anymore. She had better be sensible."
His daughter has no talent in martial arts and is not a concern.
Moreover, she has a soft heart. If she were truly hard-hearted, she would never have left Yi Xiaolan and her daughter at Peach Blossom Manor. Perhaps when they return, with Yi Xiaolan acting as a mediator, they can maintain a facade of harmony. Of course, this doesn't mean he'll be completely unguarded around his daughter. But as for Shen Yue killing him without hesitation, he believes she wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it; after all, he's her biological father, blood is thicker than water.
After that topic, the two talked about other things. Little did they know that there were people in the woods not far away, chatting enthusiastically and seemingly in a very good mood.
It was only because both of them believed they were martial arts masters, and that no matter what happened, they could not be kept in the dark, that they dared to talk so boldly.
Seeing that there was nothing interesting to hear, A-Zhuang disappeared from the tree and leaped up the mountain like a ghost.
She was also very curious about what Chaoyue had been doing all these years. There were only rumors of her practicing a divine skill in seclusion, and she hadn't been seen in any other form. What kind of divine skill could she have practiced for so many years without ever showing itself?
This situation did not occur in the client's lifetime.
Despite having some suspicions, she decided to go and take a look now that she had some free time.
Although only a few years have passed, Azhen's martial arts skills have reached a level of perfect harmony with nature. If she wants to hide, no one in this world should be able to detect it.
Therefore, the guards and mechanisms outside the Star Moon Palace were completely useless to her.
She quickly caught up with the messenger and witnessed him deliver the letter to the people at the Star Moon Palace. She then followed him inside at a safe distance, and truly went unnoticed.
Soon, she passed through numerous guards and traps, and hid in the main hall of the Star Moon Palace.
She heard the voice of the Star Moon Palace subordinate holding the letter coming from inside: "Young Master, someone has delivered a letter from down the mountain; it's for the Palace Master."
"Give it to me, I'll take it to my master." Chao Xianxue's voice rang out. "I don't know if my master has mastered the divine skill yet, so I can only slip the letter under the door as I always have."
The Star Moon Palace subordinates had already withdrawn. Chao Xianxue took the letter and headed towards the back of the main hall, seemingly to deliver it to Chaoyue. Azhen's figure flashed past him, following behind without him noticing.
Azhen followed him through various turns, eventually leading him into a secluded house.
Inside the room, Chao Xianxue moved slowly as usual, but the room was empty. After he activated a mechanism, a movable door appeared on one of the walls.
The moment he went in, Azhen followed him through, creating a gust of wind.
Chao Xianxue stopped in her tracks, looked back, and finally stared at the window that wasn't fully closed for a long while before going inside.
After taking only a few steps, he looked back twice and realized that no one was following him, so he quickened his pace.
Finally, he arrived at a dark and damp space, where the air was filled with a putrid smell that was not pleasant.
He said, “Master, someone has delivered a letter to you from down the mountain. Since you are not available right now, I will read it to you.”
Chao Xianxue opened the letter and read aloud, "Chaoyue, let's join forces. Dragging this out won't benefit anyone. Whether you're hiding away to practice your divine skills or have some other scheme, it won't be so easy for you to snatch things from us. If the whole martial arts world finds out, it won't benefit anyone. It's better for the three of us to join forces, and if we find something, we can each get a share. That would be good enough."
After reading it aloud, Chao Xianxue frowned: "It seems the messenger has some remaining Tianwen Scroll Gold Fragments."
"Master, do you want to go?" Chao Xianxue asked.
Hiding in the shadows, Azhen saw Chaoyue kneeling before a pile of memorial tablets with her back to Chaoxianxue, each tablet clearly bearing a name.
Azhen changed her angle and finally saw Chaoyue's face clearly. She was pale and very thin.
From a distance, she could tell that Chaoyue had lost all her martial arts skills and even had her meridians broken.
Moreover, she is probably not kneeling here voluntarily; she may have been forced into it, or perhaps she had no other choice but to maintain this position.
Azhen glanced at the names on the memorial tablets again. It was clear that they belonged to the same family, and most of them had the surname Chao.
"Master is in a state where he cannot go. What should we do?" Chao Xianxue's voice echoed softly. "You still have to atone for your sins here, so I can't let you go. But there are so many treasures. Are we really not going to search for them? Isn't it a bit of a waste?"
"I misjudged him. I never expected to raise a wolf cub." Chaoyue's voice rang out with extreme indignation. She originally thought she was raising a dog, but she never expected that this dog, which didn't bark much, would bite so painfully one day.
She was filled with regret. How could she remember what happened that day when he was still an infant?
She thought this was the son born from the love between those two people, and that she could raise him like a dog so that they would die with regrets, and she would feel good watching him. Little did she know that her actions back then would ruin her life.
It's too late for regrets now.
Now that she's a cripple, no one in the martial arts world could possibly know what happened to her.
Even if they knew, they would probably be overjoyed.
"The person who said that should be the Chao family. How could they have adopted such an ungrateful wretch like you?" Chao Xianxue's face was icy. (End of Chapter)
