As soon as the Great Elder spoke, Gu Zhiqi and the other two were sowhat surprised, clearly not expecting the Great Elder to speak in such a manner.
Gu Zhiqi looked at the Great Elder and asked, "Where have you seen ?"
"In the painting."
Gu Zhiqi: ?
Gu Xiyue: ??
ng Yunhe: ???
All three had question marks on their heads, staring at the Great Elder.
ng Yunhe was even a bit doubtful, wondering if the Great Elder had beco too obsessed with the Mystical Art and had ssed up his mind.
Yet, the Great Elder spoke with a serious face.
ng Yunhe looked at the Great Elder and asked, "When did you see it? Who painted it?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder stroked his beard and continued, "One hundred years ago, I saw your portrait in the Jin Family Ancestral Hall."
The Great Elder’s surna is Jin; he is a mber of the Jin Family.
The Jin Family enters the path through painting, most are dually cultivating both Ancient Martial Arts and the Artistic Path. Unfortunately, Elder Jin had neither Ancient Martial Talent nor talent in the Artistic Path.
Originally, it seed he could only be an ordinary person, but one day a hundred years ago, he accidentally t soone from the Mystic Alliance who saw his talent for cultivating the Mystic Path. That person took him back to the Ancient Martial Arts World.
Family rules dictate that those who join other forces must bid farewell to the Ancestral Hall, swearing not to betray the family.
The day he followed his master back to the Mystic Alliance, Elder Jin went through the Ancestral Hall.
He rembered that the hall houses a portrait of the young girl before him.
In his youth, seeing the person on the painting as beautiful, he couldn’t help but gaze at it a bit longer.
Because of this, he was scolded by the family head, so Elder Jin rembers the painting very clearly.
Upon the Great Elder’s words, Gu Zhiqi and the other two fell silent again. After a long ti, ng Yunhe spoke, "Great Elder, you must be mistaken; Master Gu is only seventeen years old."
At these words, Elder Jin paused slightly, murmuring quietly, "Seventeen years old?"
Then he looked at Gu Zhiqi, "So, are you a descendant of the Jin Family?"
This mont, Elder Jin realized.
Since portraits are hung in the Jin Family Ancestral Hall, the person in the painting must have long passed away; how could this person before him be the one depicted?
Being hung in the Jin Family Ancestral Hall, the person in the portrait must be an ancestor of the Jin Family, and it’s not unusual for later generations to resemble their ancestors.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi said nothing.
After all, this matter still needs confirmation.
But the eyes of Gu Xiyue at the side deepened slightly.
She had always thought that although Gu Bo and Zhang Xiuli are sowhat attractive, they couldn’t possibly have such a beautiful child like Xiao Qi.
Perhaps, Xiao Qi is not their biological child.
ng Yunhe standing by listened to the Great Elder’s words with so confusion, isn’t Master Gu the younger sister of Little Master Uncle?
How did she beco a descendant of the Jin Family?
Considering Gu Zhiqi might be a descendant of the Jin Family, Elder Jin looked at Gu Zhiqi with an even more kindly gaze, "I am also a mber of the Jin Family, we count as a family, by the way, child, what is your na?"
Gu Zhiqi told Elder Jin her na and then explained her purpose for coming here.
Only then did Elder Jin recall what Gu Xiyue said just now, his expression suddenly beca solemn, and then he led the three to find the person who attacked Gu Xingruo.
The person who attacked Gu Xingruo was Elder Jin’s youngest disciple.
Very timid, he confessed everything as soon as he was questioned. He said that soone threatened him with his family’s life, forcing him to do it.
That person was masked, he only knew that the person who approached him was a man, but he didn’t know what that person looked like.
Moreover, the person who threatened him didn’t know the na Gu Xingruo, just gave the disciple so information, directing him to kill that person.
