"Little Rou. Do you still rember what happened back then?" Zhang Fu was silent for a mont, then lifted his head.
"I rember." Wen Rou nodded. She was only six years old at the ti, but she could recall.
"They might have found Qingya Academy." Zhang Fu ca straight to the point: "Grandfather... Grandfather has no choice either, he can’t just watch the academy be destroyed, so..."
As he spoke, Zhang Fu’s eyes reddened.
After all, over the centuries, Zhang Fu truly regarded Wen Rou as his own granddaughter and had genuine feelings for her.
Earlier, when talking with Su Chen, it was logic that prevailed.
At this mont, standing before Wen Rou, emotions of guilt and reluctance surged up all at once.
"Grandfather, I understand. Little Rou will leave soon." Wen Rou was also in tears. She bit her lip and said.
"Little Rou..." Zhang Fu’s voice choked.
"Grandfather, please don’t say anymore. Little Rou truly understands everything. Little Rou doesn’t bla Grandfather at all. If it weren’t for Grandfather, Little Rou would have died back then, how would there be today? They’ve found us, Little Rou must leave. Otherwise, tens of thousands in Qingya Academy will perish. Little Rou’s life is a life, so are theirs."
"Little Rou, leave with Young Master Su! In the future, Young Master Su will take care of you!" Zhang Fu, though filled with words, didn’t know where to start and wiped his tears, saying.
Wen Rou furrowed her brows, "I can take care of myself!"
"Little Rou, don’t be willful."
"Grandfather..."
"Little Rou, if you want to recognize as your grandfather, then leave with Young Master Su!!!" Zhang Fu’s voice rose.
"Alright." Wen Rou bit her lip so hard it bled, but she still nodded.
"Young Master Su, I entrust Little Rou to you. Young Master Su, this old man begs you to let Little Rou live." Zhang Fu looked at Su Chen, wanting to kneel down, but was stopped by Su Chen.
"Senior, if I don’t die, she won’t die." Su Chen said solemnly; he wasn’t soone who would go back on his word after receiving a benefit.
"Good! Good!! Good!!!" Zhang Fu felt relieved: "Little Rou, in the future, stay with Young Master Su and don’t be so willful... In fact, over the years, Grandfather has spoiled you. When you leave, the academy students will probably light Spirit Cannons in celebration."
On Wen Rou’s tear-streaked face, there was a hint of embarrassnt and sadness.
"Alright, go on, go on, leave early." The next mont, Zhang Fu said abruptly, then abruptly vanished.
"Pack your things first, then we’ll leave." Su Chen looked at Wen Rou.
"There’s nothing worth packing." Wen Rou wiped her tears and returned to her stunning yet icy deanor.
"Alright." Su Chen didn’t say much else.
Soon.
Su Chen, Di Qiong, Wen Rou, and Little Shuilan walked out of the attic.
In front, Xuu Ting was still standing there.
"Co here, Xuu Ting." Su Chen waved his hand; he originally wanted to ask Xuu Ting sothing but didn’t get the chance because Di Qiong sensed the Ancestral Reversion Pill’s aura and followed Zhang Fu into the secret chamber, leaving questions unasked.
Xuu Ting went pale. He noticed Wen Rou beside Su Chen, feeling intensely curious as to why Wen Rou was with Su Chen. Why did Su Chen co out of Wen Rou’s attic just now?
However, this curiosity could only be suppressed within him. Could he dare not go over when Su Chen called him?
"Speak." As Xuu Ting approached him, Su Chen said, "Tell everything about Heyue Nishang and the Moon Goddess Palace without missing a word."
Xuu Ting slowly responded:
"Miss Heyue went to the Tianshan Sword Pool two months ago. She led four disciples from the Moon Goddess Palace there. At the sa ti, many Second, Third, and Fourth Rank martial cultivators went, all young disciples. I also led a few mbers of the Xuu Family there."
"Inside Tianshan Sword Pool, we martial cultivators engaged in mutual slaughter for so treasures, while the pool itself housed many dangers like the Sword Killing Formation, resulting in heavy casualties."
"By the ti we entered the Inner Sect of Tianshan Sword Pool, all the Moon Goddess Palace disciples accompanying Miss Heyue were dead, leaving only Miss Heyue alive. Other factions were similar."
"Then soone suggested forming alliances. I was fortunate to team up with Miss Heyue, as well as Zheng Zijiao from the Black Sword Sect, and Yu Jiankuan from the Flying Cloud Sect."
"The four of us had good fortune and progressed smoothly, breaking into the core Sword area of the Tianshan Sword Pool."
"Even luckier was that Miss Heyue accidentally triggered a sword formation chanism along the way, revealing a Sword Box containing the Sword King’s Treasure."
"Because we agreed beforehand that, though we tead up, whoever found the treasure, it belonged to them."
"Thus, the Sword King’s Treasure naturally beca Miss Heyue’s. But unexpectedly, on the way back, Zheng Fei secretly attacked Miss Heyue."
"It was also Miss Heyue’s good fortune that, despite being injured, she survived and fled with the Sword King’s Treasure."
"Later, when Miss Heyue returned to the Moon Goddess Palace, news of her acquiring the Sword King’s Treasure spread widely."
"If I’m not mistaken, it was probably Zheng Zijiao who leaked it because she wanted revenge on Miss Heyue."
"With the spread of the Sword King’s Treasure news, the Moon Goddess Palace beca a target of all. The palace did not have the strength to protect the Sword King’s Treasure. So, the Moon Goddess Palace probably wants to relinquish the treasure; otherwise, it would bring disaster."
"But in this relinquishing, the Moon Goddess Palace feels on the short end, hence shifts focus to Miss Heyue’s marriage."
"As far as I know, the Moon Goddess Palace implies the Sword King’s Treasure is Miss Heyue’s dowry as she marries, yet who she weds isn’t the previously betrothed Scarlet Roc Divine Child of Zhiyang Palace, but instead, an open chance for all Second and Third Rank young talents."
"This... This is essentially an auction, auctioning Miss Heyue’s marriage, which in reality auctions the Sword King’s Treasure. The bidding thod is based on the richness of dowries. The Moon Goddess Palace wisely attempts to rid itself of the Sword King’s Treasure while avoiding losses."
"The date of the marriage, essentially the auction ti, is three days away. It’s exactly the day originally fixed for Miss Heyue and the Scarlet Roc Divine Child’s wedding."
"From what I know, Miss Heyue is strongly opposed, yet the Moon Goddess Palace has already put Miss Heyue under house arrest."
......
After Xuu Ting finished.
"What a Zheng Zijiao, what a Moon Goddess Palace." Su Chen smiled, but the smile was chilling, making one’s spine shiver. At least, Xuu Ting, with just one glance at that smile, felt his legs go weak with fright.
