Chapter 52 I follow my mother's surname

Seeing the bleak look on Master Sanbao's face on the stretcher, Zhong Lifei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Taoist Master's health is urgent. Is there anything we can't talk about another day?"

Sanbao Zhenren apologized and said: "I am so old and incompetent that it is a sin to let my benefactor be imprisoned!"

Then, he asked Jiang Wang and Chen Chuan to kneel down and apologize to Zhong Lifei on his behalf.

"Haha, it's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."

Zhong Lifei laughed and helped the two brothers up.

At this moment, he was so satisfied that he turned around and sat on the guest chair, crossing his legs.

Chu Fan was stunned. He didn't know the truth, but he didn't know the series of tricks behind his master's back.

At this time, Xiaoxiangzi stopped saying polite words and directly took out the jade pendant and asked: "Master Zhongli, this is the sacred object of our gang, how did it fall into your hands?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Wang suddenly let out an exclamation, thinking that the lost jade pendant had caused him to leave the Tianxian Gang and commit himself to the Dark Moon Division.

Now, Uncle Xiaoxiangzi actually said that the sacred object is in Zhong Lifei's hands. Is this head of the Xuanwu Sect the culprit behind the theft of the sacred object?

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Zhong Lifei, shocked and confused.

"Ah, I didn't expect this to be the sacred object of the Tianxian Gang? It really surprises me!" Zhong Lifei said with an innocent look on his face.

Then he chuckled endlessly and began to make up stories on the spot, so that the people of Tianxian Gang would treat him differently.

"To be honest with you, even if I knew it was a sacred object of your clan, I would still have to wait until these few days to come and return the jade pendant."

Xiaoxiangzi was surprised: "The sacred object has been missing for seven years, and you actually said it would be returned now. Does the head of Zhongli have any difficulties?"

"I can't explain the reason for it, but before my father passed away, he repeatedly told me to wait until the expiration of seven years before returning this object to the Tianxian Gang."

"What! The holy object is from our Tianxian Gang..."

Thinking of Zhong Lifei's life-saving grace for Master Sanbao, Xiaoxiangzi swallowed back the word "steal" that he was about to say.

Then, he asked tentatively: "So, your father took the holy object away from our gang seven years ago?"

Zhong Lifei said calmly: "To be precise, my father took this jade pendant from your gang on the afternoon of the ninth day of June seven years ago."

Isn’t the ninth day of June the day when sacred objects are stolen?

The people present were extremely surprised, but the faces of the three elders felt a little feverish.

Zhong Lifei's words clearly stated that his father was a thief who stole sacred objects.

Just imagine the amazing strength of a person who sneaked into the Tianxian Gang and stole holy objects in broad daylight without alerting any gang members!

Everyone present was shocked, angry, and even more incredible.

Zhong Lifei's father sneaked into the gang, not only preventing the three elders from discovering his whereabouts, but even Master Sanbao, who had reached the ultimate level of cultivation, could not detect it. This was really terrifying.

When Sanbao Zhenren told the truth about the Seven Stars Temple, everyone was somewhat skeptical and did not believe that Zhong Lifei, who had no cultivation, could break free from the shackles of the ice and kill the evil former imperial master Huixian with one sword.

Now it seems that it is not surprising that Zhong Lifei can do this.

As the old saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons. If the father can come and go freely in the Tianxian Gang, it is normal for the son to have amazing abilities.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!

When they looked at Zhong Lifei again, the Tianxian Gang members had a hint of respect in their eyes.

At this time, Xiaoxiangzi could not sit still, stood up and asked: "May I ask your lord's surname?"

Zhong Lifei said in a calm tone: "My father, Wang Quan, once mentioned your clan to me when he was still alive. He said that I had some friendship with you in the past. I must treat you politely when we meet in the future."

"Royal power!"

Upon hearing this familiar name, the three elders looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Master Sanbao struggled to get up, and his emotions became very excited at this moment.

"You said your father's name is Wang Quan. Are they the two words before Wang Quan Fu Gui?"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in Zhongyi Hall seemed a little solemn.

Everyone stared at Zhong Lifei, waiting for his answer.

Chu Fan was the only one at the scene who didn't know what the name Wang Quan meant to the Tianxian Gang and how significant it was.

With this legendary name, even after decades, any young disciple within the Tianxian Gang who has heard of his deeds will be impressed from the bottom of their hearts and regard him as their idol.

This scene was all expected by Zhong Lifei. He knew better than anyone else the sensational effect this name would bring.

"What the Taoist Master said is absolutely true."

Later, Zhong Lifei pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't expect the Taoist Master to remember my father's name. My nephew is very grateful."

At this time, Master Sanbao's expression changed several times.

He asked in disbelief: "My father's surname is Wang, why is your surname Zhongli?"

"My father came to my wife's house, so I took my mother's surname."

"Is this true?"

"That's true." Zhong Lifei smiled and nodded.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene changed, and everyone who knew the royal power had surprise on their faces.

"My dear nephew, you finally came back to see us!"

The eldest elder Xiao Xiangzi sobbed and hugged Zhong Lifei emotionally.

Zhong Lifei pretended to be confused and said: "Taoist Master, are we relatives?"

"Good nephew, your father is our second senior brother!"

Gu Hongzi said with emotion: "My nephew looks so much like my second senior brother, even his personality is similar!"

Chen Yangzi also said: "Twenty-five years ago, the second senior brother left without saying goodbye and never returned to the Tianxian Gang. We don't know how much we miss him!"

These elders, who usually act cautiously and do not easily express their inner feelings, were like sad children, with tears streaming down their faces.

In fact, it’s no wonder that they were there. Although the second senior brother Wang Quan was cynical and unruly in temperament, he always cared deeply for his junior fellow apprentices, and no one was unfavored by him.

Even though he left the Tianxian Gang for more than 20 years, he still occupies an important position in the hearts of his juniors.

Now that they saw the son of their old friend, they were so excited that they lost control of their emotions.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Zhong Lifei's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"I didn't expect that my father has a huge connection with your gang! If the Taoist priest hadn't explained it today, I would have been kept in the dark."

After saying that, Zhongli Fei said with deep feeling: "Masters, sir, please bow to my nephew! I was disrespectful before, but I really don't know the reason. I hope you elders will bear with me!"

After saying that, he pretended to bow as a junior.

The three elders pulled him together and said: "My nephew, please don't see anyone outside. Come back to Tianxian Gang today. This is your home."

Gu Hongzi sighed: "I wonder why my nephew and my second senior brother have similar looks. It turns out they are the same family!"

Xiaoxiangzi said: "I am so confused that I didn't think of this!"

Chen Yangzi followed up and said: "Now that my nephew is back, it is really good news!"

Then, he asked eagerly: "Where is the second senior brother now? I hope my nephew will tell you as soon as possible, so that I can invite him to come back and enjoy his old age."

A sad look appeared on Zhongli Fei's face, and he said: "I just told my uncles that my father is no longer alive!"

"No, this is absolutely impossible!"

Gu Hongzi opened his old eyes and shouted: "Second Senior Brother is a great hero, how could he die so young!"

Zhong Lifei sighed: "My father is suffering from a chronic illness, and it has been difficult for him to survive for so many years."

Sanbao Zhenren said in shock: "No way, senior brother was very lively and healthy than anyone else in the past. How could he be seriously ill?"

Zhong Lifei said sadly: "My father suffered from the disease more than 20 years ago. Even though we have consulted famous doctors, there is no cure."
