Chapter 22: Yesterday's Sentiment (First Update)

  Everyone can recall what happened that year very clearly. Even those who were involved in the matter, Su Xiu stayed behind and didn't know what would happen to her next, so they all advised her to leave.

  Su Xiu smiled faintly and slowly shook her head without speaking.

  Gu Yun on the side waved his hand and said, "You don't need to persuade her anymore. Xiuer has been hiding for twenty years, not because she didn't want to continue hiding, but since she appeared, she simply can't leave Wang Hai City."

  "Since the three seniors have arrived, why don't you show yourselves?" Gu Yong said, looking up at the deep night sky.

  As the words fell, a streak of starlight flashed across the deep night sky, and suddenly three old men stepped on empty space and came. When they saw the three people, everyone was stunned at first, and after reacting, they hurried forward to see them off.

  Three people shook their heads, one of whom looked at Su Xiu with a sigh and said: "Xiao Shou, since you've been hiding for twenty years, why not continue to hide? You don't show up, even if we know you're hiding in the city, but we won't catch you. Now..."

  If Zhao Zhuo could see the old man, he would surely exclaim in surprise, for the old man was none other than Su Chuanzong, his teacher from his school days.

  Upon seeing Su Chuanzong, Su Xiu's eyes turned sour and she knelt down to the ground, trembling as she said: "The unworthy descendants of the Su family pay their respects to Ancestor Chuanzong!"

  Heaving a sigh, Su Chuanzong gently waved his hand and said: "Girl, get up"

  The black-faced old man among the three elders, Chen Jingzong Laozu said: "Little girl, didn't you refuse to leave because you had already sensed our presence?"

  Su Xiu's face revealed a bitter smile as he said, "What do you three ancestors think?"

  Another old ancestor stroked his beard and laughed: "Hei Mian Gui, this girl's cultivation is not much worse than yours. Do you think your little stealth trick can deceive others?"

  After hearing Zhao Shili's words, Gu Yong and Xiao Chaozu couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring at Su Xiu in disbelief. How could it be that Su Xiu's cultivation was comparable to the three old ancestors? To them, it was like a dream come true.

  Su Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Xiu'er knew she couldn't deceive Master Shi Li"

  A powerful aura emanated from Su Xiu's body, and the momentum that shot straight up to the sky was not much different from that of the three old ancestors.

  "Good, very good! You actually have the cultivation of a Dharma Body at the Middle Stage. You truly live up to being a descendant of the Su family!"

  Chen Jingye furrowed his brow and said, "Alright, if Xiū Niángziou had escaped, that would have been the end of it. But since she hasn't left, we should think about how to deal with those families who can't wait to kill her."

  When Chen Jingye said this, Su Chuanzong's face turned gloomy, and he sighed: "A road will always appear when the cart reaches the mountain. Even if I have to sacrifice my dignity, I must protect Xiuyan's life."

  "Let's go!" Zhao Shili said with a sigh, glancing at Su Xiu.

  Su Chuanzong and the other two walked ahead, stepping on empty air. Su Xiu nodded at Gu Yong and Xiao Chaozu, then lifted her jade foot and stepped on the empty air, floating away with Su Chuanzong and the others.

  The rest of the people, including Gu Yong, exchanged a glance, let out a long sigh, and dispersed with various thoughts in mind. In the blink of an eye, the bustling high-rise building suddenly returned to silence.

  But Zhao Feng, who was sent away by Su Xiu with a flying arrow, left the Wanghai City and soon arrived at the seaside. He put away the flying arrow and rushed into the nest of the green python.

  One sleeve was blown to pieces, with fresh blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. Zhao Feng stumbled into the cave and upon seeing Zhao Zhuo sitting cross-legged, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and fell forward, collapsing in front of Zhao Zhuo.

  Zhao Zhuo, who was in a state of deep meditation, couldn't help but be startled and opened his eyes to see Zhao Feng's face turn pale. He quickly helped Zhao Feng up and infused him with warm energy, only to discover that there were no injuries within Zhao Zhuo's body, just a depletion of his internal energy.

  A steady stream of vital energy poured into Zhao Feng's body, and his complexion gradually became rosier.

  Seeing Zhao Feng catch his breath, Zhao Zhuo first let out a sigh of relief and then asked: "Big brother, what exactly happened? How did you end up in this state?"

  On the other side, Zhao Luan was also startled and came out to see Zhao Feng, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He rushed forward, examined Zhao Feng from head to toe, and only relaxed when he found that he wasn't injured.

  Although Zhao Feng was not good at speaking, what he said still made Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Luan's hearts skip a beat. When they heard that their mother had suddenly transformed, Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Luan exchanged a glance.

  Having said that, Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Zhuo and said: "Second brother, hurry up and save Mother. She's definitely in danger if she stays behind alone."

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Big brother, do you have any impression of our father?"

  Zhao Feng was taken aback, then fell into deep thought. Gradually, he shook his head and said: "I don't know why, but I just can't recall my father's appearance. All I vaguely remember is that after my little sister was born, Father mysteriously disappeared."

  Zhao Duo rubbed his forehead and said, "It seems that this father of ours is hiding a big secret. I wonder if it has anything to do with Mother's true identity!"

  Zhao Luan said, "Big brother, now even a fool can see that Father and Mother are hiding many things from us. However, the most important thing right now is to rescue Mother. I'm sure she'll tell us everything when the time comes."

  Zhao Duo thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Feng, saying: "Big brother, think about it carefully, when mother asked you to leave, was there anything unusual or did anyone know mother's true identity?"

  "Ah, I remember now. Chen Dafu seemed to be extremely frightened when he saw Mother. Mother's real name should be Su Xiu, not Chu Xiu. And also, Mother forbade us from going back to save him."

  As he spoke, Zhao Feng's tears couldn't help but flow down.

  Standing up, Zhao Zhuo took a deep breath and said: "Since I know Mother's true name, according to Big Brother's account of her hiding her true identity, it's likely that Mother was also a legendary figure back then, so there must be many people who knew about Mother's affairs. I'll enter the city and investigate."

  Zhao Feng's face lit up with excitement upon hearing the words, but soon showed a look of difficulty and said: "But second brother, mother has said that we are not allowed to return to the city"

  Zhao Zhuo sighed and said, "Children are flesh and blood from their mother's body. Mother doesn't allow us to return to the city because she's worried that we'll get into trouble. But can we just stand by and watch as our mother gets into trouble? If something happens to Mother, how will we be able to live with ourselves?"

  Zhao Luan clenched his fists and said: "Second brother is right, as children, we cannot sit back and watch our mother suffer!"

  As an orphan, Zhao Zhuo had merged his identity with Su Xiu's, and he had completely regarded Su Xiu as his own biological parents. These days of interaction had made him feel that rare maternal love, so for Su Xiu, even if it meant losing his own life, Zhao Zhuo wouldn't frown.

  Collection and recommendation are not powerful enough.
