Ye Xunhuan did not rush to speak, but rather swept his gaze over the Asura King back and forth.
Facing Ye Xunhuan's scrutiny, the Asura King appeared indifferent, the whole person as serene as a pond of autumn water without the slightest ripple!
After a few glances at the Asura King, Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a muffled breath and said, "Asura King, has anyone ever told you that you're not just a villain, but also a smart person!"
"I've always considered myself a smart person."
"Then let's not beat around the bush!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Despite what you've said, I'd like to ask, where is the main point you promised to tell ?"
"Regarding my mother's affairs, you only spoke a few words, and it was purely speculative. What truly interests is what you said about soone leaking information, causing all my brothers to perish during my ti with the Hidden Dragon!"
"Didn't I just say that if you want to know anything, you can ask!" the Asura King said softly, "I promise to be completely open and honest!"
The Asura King is a clever person, indeed very clever. He said so much to Ye Xunhuan previously, but every ti he spoke only briefly and then cleverly diverted the conversation.
Simultaneously, afterward, he inford Ye Xunhuan that he could ask whatever he wanted to know.
When chatting with Ye Xunhuan, the Asura King skillfully employed strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu, always in control!
"Asura King, you said my mother was murdered, yet you have no evidence. But what about Qin Dunjia and the Five Elents and Eight Trigrams, do you have any proof?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "And even if the Protectors aim to use my mother's Fenghua Group as a financial tool, how do you know this!"
"These should be secret matters, right? Even within the Protectors, it should be top-level secret information. Can your reach extend inside the Protectors?"
"Marshal indeed lives up to his title, using inquiries about his mother to probe my channels!" The Asura King looked at Ye Xunhuan with full admiration and said, "Marshal, I can tell you about the forr, but as for the latter, I cannot disclose!"
As soon as the words fell, the Asura King did not give Ye Xunhuan a chance to speak before saying again, "I'll go fetch sothing, wait a mont!"
With that, the Asura King stood up and walked into a nearby room, soon returning.
Yet, he held a rectangular wooden box about thirty to forty centiters long, intricately carved with many patterns, appearing very exquisite.
"Open it yourself!"
The Asura King directly tossed the wooden box to Ye Xunhuan.
After accepting the box, Ye Xunhuan's face slowly showed a hint of confusion, instinctively glancing at the Asura King.
When Ye Xunhuan looked at the Asura King, he imdiately smiled and said, "The answers you seek can be found inside!"
Upon hearing the Asura King's words, this ti Ye Xunhuan did not hesitate and opened the box directly.
Inside the box, a rolled-up scroll of painting imdiately ca into Ye Xunhuan's view. Without hesitation, Ye Xunhuan took out the scroll and unrolled it!
The next mont, a woman appeared within the scroll.
The woman wore a pale yellow lace-tailed long dress, her waist-length hair cascading like a waterfall, and a delicate face seemingly sculpted by God, flawless, with an enchanting figure, incredibly beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.
Especially the woman's eyes, filled with spirit.
Upon seeing the woman in the painting, Ye Xunhuan's body involuntarily trembled.
Because this was his mother, Qin Fenghuang!
"How... how do you have a portrait of my mother?"
Indeed, this painting is undeniably authentic, drawn vividly as if alive!
Being the son of Qin Fenghuang, Ye Xunhuan knows better than anyone the likeness of his mother, confirming the painting is incredibly lifelike!
"I followed a senior to the capital and painted it when we t your mother!" the Asura King said indifferently, "There's writing alongside it, signed by your mother. You recognize your mother's handwriting, don't you?"
Indeed, the painting had writing, but Ye Xunhuan could not recognize a single word, the script appearing as tadpole characters. However, below was Qin Fenghuang's signature and seal!
This couldn't possibly be fake!
"This painting doesn't prove anything, does it?"
"I take it you're not afraid of pain?"
Ye Xunhuan was stunned, "What do you an?"
"Put your blood on it and take a look yourself!" the Asura King said indifferently.
Upon hearing the Asura King's words, Ye Xunhuan didn't hesitate for a mont. He imdiately bit his finger and let his blood drip onto the scroll!
As the blood dripped onto the scroll, it was absorbed, and a series of small characters appeared.
The first two words that caught Ye Xunhuan's eyes were Jue Tian!
As Ye Xunhuan stared at the characters on the scroll, the Asura King said lightly, "Jue Tian is the blood brother of the Evil Sovereign!"
Ye Xunhuan remained silent, reading word by word.
After a long ti, Ye Xunhuan finished reading the entire content, then rolled the scroll back up!
"Now you believe your mother wasn't a simple person, and her death wasn't as simple as you thought, right?"
"What's Jue Tian's relationship with my mother?"
"I'm not sure!" the Asura King gently shook his head.
"Then the Jue Tian ntioned above..."
"Marshal, the writing was your mother's handiwork. True or false, you'd know better than anyone. As for Jue Tian, I've seen him, but only once!" the Asura King said seriously.
"The one who took you to et my mother wasn't Jue Tian?"
"Jue Tian was already dead by then!" the Asura King sighed lightly, "At least, according to rumors, he was killed!"
"Then above..."
"I know what you wish to ask, but I can confidently say I don't know. Perhaps the only one who truly knows the answer was my tribe's late elder!" the Asura King sighed lightly, "He had quite a good friendship with your mother."
"Though I also had so interaction with your mother, it was very brief." the Asura King smiled bitterly, "And do you know why I wear a mask on half of my face?"
"Why?"
The Asura King did not reply, instead, he slowly reached out and removed the mask on his face.
When Ye Xunhuan saw the other half of the Asura King's face, it was as though he saw sothing terrifying, his body involuntarily trembled slightly, while his pupils were filled with a look of horror!
