Yao Shisan, who had always been indifferent to others, looked regretful and begging at this moment, which was really surprising.

Cui Hengyue looked at Yao Shisan for a long time before slowly speaking: "You want to go down the mountain? Why do you want to go down the mountain?"

She knew the purpose of Su Biwen and others going down the mountain, but she knew very little about Yao Shisan, which made her very uneasy.

What's more, Yao Shisan had harmed her and opposed her at every turn. If such a person participated in the battle, it would most likely lead to failure.

The opportunity was rare and she would not allow any mistakes to be made.

Faced with Cui Hengyue's torture, Yao Shisan told the truth: "My Yao family originally made a small living in Jinyang Dongcheng, but one day Lu Gang, the Lu family, led people to destroy our shop.

"Later, my father went to Lu Gang to argue, but he was beaten up by Lu Gang and died that night when he returned home.

“My mother had just given birth to my sister at that time, and upon hearing the tragic news, she fell ill.

“I was still young at that time, so I went to see my relatives for help, but they turned away. I went to the government to report the case, but the government refused to accept it.

"Not long after, my shop was robbed by Lu Gang, saying that it was originally the Lu family's shop and that my father had tricked us into taking it away, and that he wanted to take away our house.

"My mother was so angry that they vomited blood and died, and my sister was also kidnapped by them. There is no news yet.

"As for me..."

Yao Shisan smiled bitterly: "I escaped from the house and jumped into the river. I don't know how long I floated. When I woke up, I was already at a farmhouse outside the city.

"After I recovered from my injury, I pretended to be a beggar... It wasn't really a disguise, because I had no money at the time and was homeless. I was just a little beggar.

"I secretly returned to Jinyang City to inquire around, but could not find out the whereabouts of my sister, so I sought revenge from Lu Gang.

"But I was captured by mistake and beaten half to death by Lu Gang. Finally, I was saved by a kind-hearted Taoist priest.

"After that, I became a Taoist priest and learned martial arts from him. When I grew up, I returned to Jinyang City, wanting to avenge Lu Gang and also looking for my sister.

"I didn't expect..."

As if his memory was not very good, Yao Shisan clenched his hands with a look of pain on his brows. He gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by my relatives and fall into Lu Gang's hands again.

"In order to save me, my master went deep into the tiger's den and rescued me from Lu Gang, but my master was seriously injured.

"In the end...my master died of serious injuries..."

Yao Shisan's eyes were scarlet, his voice was choked, and he was speechless for a moment.

Cui Hengyue looked at him silently, feeling a little sour in her heart.

After a few breaths, Yao Shisan calmed down and continued: "My master asked me to come to Yunxuan Temple before he died, saying that as long as I entered Yunxuan Temple, Lu Gang would not come to arrest me.

"Later I found out that the owner of Yunxuan Temple is the King of Chu. Lu Gang is just a child of a small aristocratic family. How dare he come to Yunxuan Temple to arrest people?"

Cui Hengyue pondered: "So, you want to go down the mountain to seek revenge from Lu Gang?"

She remembered that Yao Shisan was the South Hall who advanced five years ago, which meant that five years ago, Yao Shisan failed to seek revenge on Lu Gang and took his master's life as a result.

In the past five years, even though he has practiced hard every day and improved his martial arts, if he goes down the mountain to seek revenge on Lu Gang, he will also be facing the entire Lu family.

How can one person fight against an aristocratic family?

Such behavior is tantamount to committing suicide.

Yao Shisan shook his head: "No, Lu Gang is dead."

"Dead?" Cui Hengyue couldn't help asking: "How old is Lu Gang?"

"I'll be thirty this year."

When Yao Shisan first heard the news, he didn't believe it and chased Yun Chen and asked him several times.

"At the beginning of the year, Captain Yun told me that Lu Gang suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away, and asked me not to think about revenge.

"I cannot avenge my parents with my own hands, so I just want to go down the mountain to find my sister to comfort my parents' spirits in heaven.

"But when I first entered the South Hall, I was forced to make a written statement that if I came down the mountain one day, I had to give the King of Chu one hundred thousand taels of gold before I could go down.

"I...I don't have so much money, so I keep spending it here."

When talking about the latter part, Yao Shisan became a little excited. He knelt down and walked in front of Cui Hengyue: "Miss Cui, I know I shouldn't have obeyed Su Biwen's orders before and wronged you.

"But that's because I owe him a favor, and I have to pay it back. This was my fault, and I apologize to you."

Saying that, Yao Shisan kowtowed heavily to Cui Hengyue: "Miss Cui, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

After kowtowing, seeing that Cui Hengyue was still indifferent, Yao Shisan panicked a little: "Miss Cui, except for that time when I helped Su Biwen make a false confession, I have never harmed you again.

"That time, I stopped you from killing Li Bi'er, it was all for your own good.

"Think about it, if you kill Li Bi'er in front of so many people, according to the rules of the South Palace, you will have to pay for your life with your life.

"I almost caused you to die before, and I feel very guilty, so I can't just watch you kill someone and lose your own life.

"Miss Cui, I want to go down the mountain to find my sister. Please help me and let me go to the battle with you tomorrow."

Facing Yao Shisan's pleading eyes, Cui Hengyue was silent for a moment and asked: "How do you know that I am going to break into the formation tomorrow? And how do you know that I will take the people who break into the formation down the mountain?"

Yao Shisan blinked and replied: "Before I went to Wenshu Pavilion, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Captain Yunchen and Colonel Yunlin, so I learned about this matter."

Yun Chen and Yun Lin...

These two brats didn't even pay attention to their surroundings when they were talking.

Cui Hengyue raised her hand: "Get up."

Yao Shisan looked surprised: "You promised me?"

"No."

These two words were like a basin of ice water being poured down on his head, and the smile on Yao Shisan's face was instantly frozen.

After being disappointed, he was thinking about how to get Cui Hengyue to agree to his request.

He thought so painfully that he forgot to stand up for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Cui Hengyue couldn't bear it and didn't want to agree to him, so she asked: "Your sister was only a few months old when she was kidnapped by Lu Gang, and she is not in Lu's house. How are you going to find her?"

After so many years, his sister has grown into a grown-up girl. Even if she stood in front of him, he would not recognize her.

Looking for someone in this way is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Hearing Cui Hengyue's question, a light flashed in Yao Shisan's eyes. She was willing to ask, does that mean she was shaken?

Yao Shisan felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and hurriedly replied: "Although I don't know what my sister looks like now, I saw the birthmark on her body when I was a child.

"I believe that as long as I don't give up, I will find her one day."

Cui Hengyue put her chin on her hand and said calmly: "So what if we find her? She was kidnapped in her infancy. She has no idea about her life experience, nor does she know that she has a brother like you.

"For so many years, the people who raised her will definitely not tell her about her life experience, and may even confuse right and wrong.

"Even if you find her, she won't recognize you with just a birthmark, so why should you ask for trouble?

"For the sake of us living together in the South Hall, I advise you to stay in the South Hall peacefully and stop thinking about going down the mountain."

It's impossible without going down the mountain.

Yao Shisan stood up and looked at Cui Hengyue firmly: "No, I want to go down the mountain.

"I don't expect her to recognize me as her brother, I just want to see her live a good life."

Cui Hengyue was shocked and looked at Yao Shisan speechless for a long time.
