"My father, my father actually did such a foolish thing?"
"Give up my mother, my childhood sweetheart, without a second thought?"
Cheng Shifei was also shocked and devastated.
He himself was a street thug, extremely reckless, believing that what was his would always be his, and he would never do something as foolish as giving away the woman he loved.
I never imagined that my own father would do something that even I, his son, find utterly despicable.
"Sigh, Dad is still too kind. It's not that people can't be good, but there should be a bottom line to being a good person."
Then, a thought struck him, and he asked, "Since my father was so good to Zhu Wushi, why did he want to harm my father?"
Bai Zhantang and the others were also suspicious.
Yes.
Cheng Shifei's father, Gu Santong, has already done something like giving up the woman he deeply loves, so why does Zhu Wushi want to harm Gu Santong again?
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Don't rush, let me explain slowly."
Gu Santong was indeed a martial arts fanatic. After practicing the Vajra Indestructible Child Skill, he went to challenge various sects and defeated all the masters.
The major powers are facing a challenge and must join forces to capture him.
Zhu Wushi also received an imperial edict, ordering him to capture Gu Santong.
This is a great opportunity for him.
Because he, the thirteenth prince, had never been valued by the late emperor, this was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
However, he was no match for Gu Santong at the time.
So he devised a vicious plan: he poisoned and killed the masters of the eight major sects, as well as the four famous constables of the time, and absorbed all their power to greatly increase his own strength!
Besides increasing his strength, he could also shift all the blame onto Gu Santong by doing this, because he discovered that Su Xin still couldn't forget Gu Santong, and therefore wanted to completely ruin Gu Santong's reputation!
"Was your godfather really that ruthless back then?!"
Guihai Yidao, Haitang and the others were all speechless, feeling a deep chill. The image of the Iron-Blooded Marquis in their hearts had collapsed completely once again!
Cheng Shifei was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he wished he could kill Zhu Wushi immediately to avenge himself.
His eyes were even brimming with tears.
Of course, her own father was framed and made to take the blame for such a huge mistake!
"Wait, something's not right."
At this moment, Wang Yuyan suddenly let out a soft "Eh".
All eyes were on her.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said to Chen Yan, "You...you didn't say something right."
"Where did you go wrong?"
Chen Yan smiled and looked at her.
Wang Yuyan blushed slightly and said softly, "Since Gu Santong has already given Suxin to Zhu Wushi, how can Suxin have a child with Gu Santong?"
"You listened very carefully."
Chen Yan exclaimed in admiration and said with a smile, "That's very simple. Although Gu Santong and Su Xin have separated, they still love each other deeply. So, after a chance encounter, their passion ignited and they became lovers."
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
Wang Yuyan nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Chen Yan smiled, then looked at Cheng Shifei and said, "After absorbing the internal energy of the eight major sects' masters and the four famous constables, Zhu Wushi's strength has greatly increased. He challenged your father to a duel at the summit of Tianshan Mountain."
However, their strengths are still evenly matched.
But in the end, Zhu Wushi used your mother to distract your father, thus gaining the upper hand.
Your father was a man of his word, and from then on he was imprisoned on the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison, never stepping out until his death..."
After Chen Yan finished speaking.
Cheng Shifei clenched his fists and exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, his hatred for Zhu Wushi had reached its peak.
Zhu Wushi not only deceived him, but also caused great harm to his parents. He must avenge this wrong no matter what!
Duan Tianya, Shangguan Haitang, and Guihai Yidao also had solemn and complicated expressions.
Now that they know Zhu Wushi's true colors, they feel both angry and under great pressure.
However, as four secret agents, they could not allow Zhu Wushi's scheme to succeed.
Thinking of this, they clasped their hands in gratitude to Chen Yan, then got up and left.
I need to carefully plan how to deal with Zhu Wushi, this master schemer...
Wuqing watched their retreating figures, sighed softly, and felt worried.
Originally, the Dragon Guard Manor and the Six Doors were on the side of justice, and their strength was comparable to that of the Eastern Depot and the Western Depot.
just now.
Zhu Wushi of the Dragon Guard Manor actually harbored a conspiracy to usurp the throne, which immediately tipped the balance of power between the two sides.
"What, are you worried about them?"
Chen Yan looked at her with a smile.
Wuqing's expression was somewhat solemn: "I was once a member of the Six Doors, so I had some concerns... Ah, never mind, I'm far away from that swamp now, why worry about those things? It's just making trouble for myself. I'm going to see how Wanwan's new clothes are coming along..."
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, Bai Zhantang and the others also left.
Only Chen Yan and Wang Yuyan remained at the scene.
"Is something wrong?"
Chen Yan was suspicious.
"Um, I want to ask you something. I just can't understand what you said before about the earth we live on being round."
How can people stand steadily on a perfectly round sphere?
Wang Yuyan blushed and stammered.
Chen Yan: "This immortal master charges ten taels of silver for answering one question. Do you have that much?"
"No, no."
Wang Yuyan felt a little embarrassed.
Tears welled up inside me; poverty makes one lose heart, there's nothing I can do.
Just as she turned away dejectedly, and her footsteps had barely left the fortune-telling shop, Chen Yan's voice came: "Because the sphere we are on has an attractive force, even though it is spherical, people can stand firmly on it."
Wang Yuyan paused for a moment, then turned to Chen Yan and said thank you.
But deep down, I felt even more lost.
I don't understand what it means for the sphere we're in to have an attractive force.
Wang Yuyan, oh Wang Yuyan, you pride yourself on being well-read, yet you can't even strike up a conversation with him. You're just a clown in his presence, only capable of making a fool of yourself.
and also.
How does that person's brain work? How do they know so many strange and wonderful things? It's amazing, so mysterious...
……
Chen Yan also returned to his room.
I just gained another 26,000 crash points.
You can draw two golden treasure chests.
The first treasure chest contained a 100x Enlightenment Pill.
Holding the pill, Chen Yan smiled.
He finally collected all three. He now has two servants, Wanwan and Wuqing, under his command, as well as Xie Yanke, an outside thug.
The three Hundredfold Enlightenment Pills were given to each of them, one of each, as a perk.
The Hundredfold Enlightenment Pill was like a chicken rib to him, utterly useless, but it was a treasure to Wanwan and the others, with tremendous effects!
Open the second golden treasure chest.
What emerged was a precious sword!
The sword is three feet two inches long and has an ancient design. Even just hovering quietly in mid-air, it exudes a strong sense of sharpness.
The sword hilt is also engraved with two characters: “Slaying Dragon”.
Looking at the sword, Chen Yan's smile widened.
Previously, he only obtained the Sword Manual by drawing 647, but did not have a suitable sword. Now, the sword has arrived. With the Sword Manual, he can kill people within ten miles by controlling the sword!
Touching the Dragon Slayer, Chen Yan felt a slight chill on his fingers, and in a moment he felt a connection with the sword, as if their bloodlines were intertwined.
"This is not a sword from the world of martial arts; it is a spiritual weapon that can actually be absorbed and nurtured within the body!"
