Liu Jizhen suddenly stood up and looked at An Tongchen in disbelief: "What you said is true?"
An Tongchen nodded heavily.
Seeing Liu Jizhen fall back and his face is pale, An Tongchen whispered: "In recent years, I have seen my senior brother lose his mind on martial arts, so I simply buried all these things in my heart. Otherwise, what if I tell you? If I can't avenge, I will get sick."
Liu Jizhen closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
How come he doesn't feel from a martial arts genius who everyone praises to become a useless person? How many times have he experienced that unforgettable scene in his dream.
He had thought that this might have been designed by someone else. Liu Ji was really confident in his martial arts talent. Even if he had just entered the trance of the spirit, it was impossible to destroy him, but it was impossible for him to be a top master. Gu Xia had a top master above the trance of the spirit, so where could a mysterious master come out? After destroying him, he disappeared without a trace.
In addition, the Zhou family was too calm about his destruction. When he came back seriously injured, the Zhou family immediately exiled him to Bixi Valley and cut off his future. This made people unwilling to think about it, and this matter was related to the Zhou family.
However, what else can he do if the meridians are deposed? His master disappeared in his early years and his whereabouts are unknown. Several uncles from the Shengyang lineage did not have easy life, and it was difficult for Mr. Zhuo to break the rules of the Liulin lineage for him, a useless person. He finally swallowed this matter and even lost his heart to investigate.
Therefore, he told himself that God has justice. If it was really the Zhou family's actions, they would sooner or later retribution.
He has no future anymore and he doesn't want to implicate people he is close to.
For twenty-three years, he thought he would never know the truth.
But now, An Tongchen told him that this matter was probably done by the Zhou family.
Back then, the Zhou family was still enthusiastic about the Liulin lineage. The two Supreme Elders Yuanxi and Wan Yu were not long and could not last long, but Zhuo Jiangui successfully entered the realm of transformation and became the first person in the new generation. It can be foreseen that the two Supreme Elders passed away, and in the next hundred years, the entire Jiuyao Palace would have to look at Zhuo Jiangui's expression, unless another realm of transformation and forms a check and balance with him.
The Zhou family has always had a paranoid hobby for attracting talents, so how could they ignore Zhuo Jiangui? However, this Supreme Elder Zhuo has been practicing cultivation all year round and is not interested in anything. So, they set their minds on An Tongchen.
At that time, the Zhou family had always wanted to match him and Zhou Yinru, and An Tongchen had contacted some people and affairs of the Zhou family.
After Liu Ji was really disabled, An Tongchen was suspicious and secretly investigated and found that during that period, the Zhou family had a large amount of money and property expenses. Even Miss Zhou went out in person.
"Master?" Lu Mingshu looked at Liu Jizhen with concern.
Liu Jizhen took a deep breath and opened his eyes again, and his emotions had stabilized. He waved his hand to Lu Mingshu and signaled that he was fine.
An Tongchen said: "Since my senior brother is prepared, what's so sad? The Zhou family has always been like this. The friendship between classmates is nothing in their eyes."
Liu Jizhen nodded slowly, his voice low: "You are right. This matter is indeed like the Zhou family's work. Back then, the leader of Zhou was accidentally infatuated and the matter of finding someone to take over was imminent. He took a fancy to me and once sent someone to say that if I got married to Zhou Miaoru, the Zhou family would fully support me to take over. But I had no interest in taking power, so I refused."
"Senior Brother Liu, you don't want to be the son-in-law of the Zhou family. In addition, Brother Yuwen is eyeing him, the Zhou family has been working hard to break the roots in order to avoid losing power."
"No," Liu Jizhen's eyes flashed, "Compared with the Zhou family, I am closer to Junior Brother Yuwen. The Zhou family cannot hold anyone to suppress me, so they just cut off the firewood. In this way, Junior Brother Yuwen is weak and may not be able to compete with him. On the other hand, he found Fu Shangqing and hurriedly supported him to the position. I remember that this Master Fu was the inner state when he met Master Zhou. He received the support of the Zhou family and entered the state of divine within seven years in one breath, right?"
"Yes." An Tongchen said indifferently, "As soon as Fu Shangqing entered the scene, the Zhou family couldn't wait to help him take office."
"This is a bit strange." Liu Jizhen said slowly, "Fu Shangqing's talent is not to mention that he can enter the realm of divine within seven years. However, no matter how talented he is, he has passed twenty years ago and has missed the best time. Why is the Zhou family sure that he will achieve something and marry Zhou Miaoru so quickly? What if Fu Shangqing does not enter the realm of divine? Isn't it a pity that Miss Zhou? Not seeing a rabbit or not is the style of the Zhou family. Zhou Miaoru has been waiting for the price, and even you just want to deal with it with Zhou Yinru. Doing this would be too hasty to marry."
An Tongchen smiled contemptuously and said, "I have been puzzled about this matter for a long time. Later, I went to see Fu Shangqing, and he was indeed a genius, but then, how could I see that boy from the inner breath realm have such achievements? Although our 15th generation has withered talents, it is not too easy to find a few that are comparable to his back then, and it is also aware of the roots and easy to control."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Lu Mingshu together.
Lu Mingshu was so stunning that when they saw it, they shook his head blankly: "Grandpa has never said anything about him."
The two of them thought casually that when Fu Shangqing left home, Lu Mingshu was not born yet, and the possibility of knowing was very low. The Lu family was all mortals who did not understand martial arts. Even if Fu Shangqingzhen had any strangeness, they might not be able to see it.
Liu Jizhen quickly said, "Let's talk about this later. Mingshu, have you remembered what your teacher said just now? Even if you must take revenge, don't rush for a moment. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Zhou family has been operating in Jiuyao Mountain for several generations, and it is complicated. How easy is it to dig it out? You must ensure your safety."
"I understand, Master..." Lu Mingshu had calmed down now. She had been enduring for more than ten years. What's the point of enduring for a while?
An Tongchen smiled, "To be honest, you are back just in time. Next year is the period of goddess sacrifice. You are already out of your way and are qualified to participate. If you win the qualification for the sacrifice in one fell swoop, it will also be a blow to the Zhou family."
"Goddess and goddesses?" Lu Mingshu was surprised.
"What, don't you know?"
"I didn't tell her." Liu Jizhen explained, "I never thought she could get into the trance so quickly before."
An Tongchen nodded. Indeed, he didn't expect this.
"Mingshu," Liu Ji really wanted to explain the goddess sacrifice, but suddenly heard a voice coming from outside.
