Ye Xunhuan was really eager to know about his mother, Qin Fenghuang, so it was naturally impossible to postpone until tomorrow.
The Asura King wanted to talk to Ye Xunhuan alone, so Qiu Ruoxi, Qianhuan Liuyun, and Michelle naturally had to avoid them.
However, this ti, the Asura King didn't care about Michelle, completely allowing her and Qiu Ruoxi to stay together, while he took Ye Xunhuan upstairs to the second floor.
The decoration style on the entire second floor was very simple, but it gave off a scholarly vibe. There were many calligraphy pieces hanging on the wall, as well as ancient paintings and relics.
There were so characters on the artworks that Ye Xunhuan had never encountered before. It was his first ti seeing them, so naturally, he couldn't recognize the writing.
However, it's said that the Miao people once had their own scripts, but they were buried in the river of history. As for whether these strange, tadpole-like characters were the legendary Miao script, Ye Xunhuan couldn't tell.
"I usually like to collect so ancient paintings and calligraphy. I also enjoy writing a bit myself, so I just hang them here!" The Asura King, seeing Ye Xunhuan admiring those artworks, imdiately explained: "Please have a seat!"
Ye Xunhuan didn't stand on ceremony with the Asura King, and directly sat on a wooden chair beside him. At the sa ti, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a gentle puff.
"The calligraphy is well-written, but I'm still more interested in my mother's affairs!"
"Your mother was an extraordinary woman!" The Asura King took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Qin Dunjia, Five Elents and Eight Trigrams—your mother mastered them all!"
"What, your mother never told you about these?"
"What do you think?"
The Asura King gave a wry smile and said, "Honestly, I don't understand your mother. Although she was incredibly talented, enough to overshadow countless others, she remained exceptionally low-key. I got to know your mother just by chance, and it was through an elder from our tribe."
Ye Xunhuan slightly furrowed his brow: "Asura King, this isn't what I wish to hear!"
"Though your mother and I were acquaintances, I didn't know much about her. However, I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty: your mother, Qin Fenghuang, did not die of illness!" The Asura King said seriously, "She must have been murdered!"
"And if my guess is right, the one who killed your mother was probably the Protectorate, maybe even the King!"
Ye Xunhuan's expression imdiately turned grim upon hearing this: "Are you sure?"
"I have no evidence!" The Asura King sighed lightly, "But from what I know, the Protectorate originally wanted to support the Qin family, then they chose your mother, especially after the establishnt of Fenghua Group. They approached your mother in hopes of jointly supporting Fenghua Group and Tenglong Group!"
"But she refused. Your mother didn't compromise with the Protectorate, she didn't allow Fenghua Group to beco a money-making machine for them!"
"Over the years, your mother was probably the first and the only one who ever refused the Protectorate!"
Ye Xunhuan wasn't aware of this. Qin Fenghuang never ntioned it to him, nor did Qin Pojun ever ntion that the Protectorate intended to support the Qin family.
"Even though your mother refused the Protectorate, she still managed to develop Fenghua Group herself, which must have been extrely challenging. This also indirectly proves that your mother's skills were exceptional!"
"But there's one thing that puzzles many people!"
"What is it?" Ye Xunhuan imdiately asked.
"Who did your mother learn her skills from? Qin Dunjia and Five Elents and Eight Trigrams are among the world's most complex, enigmatic things. Even every lifeti of a common individual would be insufficient to grasp their mysteries. But your mother mastered them thoroughly. Without guidance from a master, it's impossible to be achieved through talent alone!"
"Especially when it cos to the Qin Dunjia she arranged, it was capable of killing invisibly." The Asura King said heavily, "Moreover, you were betrayed back then. Who do you think did it?"
"You really know a lot!" Ye Xunhuan's eyes widened, a gleam of insight in them.
In his lifeti, Ye Xunhuan was only betrayed once, and it was when he was part of the Hidden Dragon. But very few people knew about his ti in Hidden Dragon, yet the Asura King was aware.
This intelligence network was unbelievably terrifying!
This was also sothing Ye Xunhuan had been perplexed by, as he had almost exhausted every possible ans without finding any answers.
"Of course, if I didn't have what it takes, how can I dare to stand up against, let alone to the Protectorate?" The Asura King said proudly.
"Since you know, who do you say did it?"
"No one within Hidden Dragon had any reason to do such a thing, and those aware of your actions on that day were very few!"
"Was it the Dragon Head?" The Asura King said offhandedly, "Impossible, he wouldn't take such a roundabout way!"
"Dragon Head is unlikely, and no one else had reason to want you dead. Think again, aside from those on the surface who knew about your actions, who else might have known behind the scenes?"
"The Protectorate!" Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation.
The Hidden Dragon was rely a branch of the Protectorate, usually responsible for national security and combating foreign forces. In many matters, the Dragon Head would report to the King.
Was it the King's influence that led to Ye Xunhuan's complete defeat?
"Exactly, your mother rejected the Protectorate, and you were growing at an alarming rate. As ti went on, you would grow stronger. Moreover, if your mother ever told you so undisclosed confidential information, no one knows what might happen!"
"Only with your death could people completely rest easy!"
Ye Xunhuan fell into silence. Although much of what the Asura King said was speculative, it was undeniable that they were facts!
If it were truly as the Asura King described, one Qin Fenghuang had thoroughly researched Qin Dunjia and Five Elents and Eight Trigrams, and combined with Ye Xunhuan's power, they would practically beco invincible.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan was still so young, no one knew what the future held.
Furthermore, controlling soone like Ye Xunhuan was an especially arduous task!
Generally speaking, rather than letting uncontrollable or potential enemies continue developing, they are strangled at the beginning.
"Go ahead, ask anything else you want to know, I will tell you in detail!"
