"Since the seniors are considering the family, the juniors naturally dare not object."
Li Xinan sighed: "If the murderer was really Yusuke Koga, I would forge evidence and let you kill him."
Juan Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "It's pretty decisive."
Li Xin'an smiled and said, "I've finished talking about the serious business, senior, let's talk about you."
"I?"
"I'm very curious, how did you join the Blood Clothing Hall? Why did you suddenly return to Japan?"
Juan Qingyuan leaned against the window, recalling the past, and said melancholy:
“That happened many years ago.”
"It was a coincidence that I joined the Blood Clothes Hall."
"At that time, I came to the Tang Dynasty from Ryukyu and found that I was in the wrong direction, but there was no ship to let me return to Ryukyu, so I had to stay in the Tang Dynasty."
"Fortunately, I knew a little Tang Dynasty mandarin and lived at the pier. I thought I would settle here for a while, and when I earned enough money from work, I would buy a small boat and go back to Ryukyu to discuss it."
"In this way, after more than twenty years, the price of ships has been rising again and again. I seem to never be able to buy a ship and can't return to my hometown."
"Later, a group of water bandits came to the wharf. They looked at their faces and were from Nanyang people."
"This group of Nanyang people, like evil ghosts, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. They burned the docks, and I escaped by chance and ran to the mainland desperately. I don't know how long it took, but I lost my energy and fainted."
"When I woke up again, I found myself in a dilapidated temple with warm bonfires burning around and a pot of hot soup, with fragrant fish boiling inside."
"I heard someone talking outside the dilapidated temple and knew that I was rescued. I got up and wanted to thank them. I turned out and saw a young woman and a short old man in his fifties."
"That woman is your mother, Tao Huaping. That old man is Zhang Siyuan later."
Li Xinan said in surprise: "My mother... and Grandpa Zhang?"
Ju An Qingyuan nodded: "You should know that your mother and your grandfather are not in harmony?"
Li Xinan pursed her lips and whispered: "Yes, my mother and my grandfather have always had a bad relationship because of my grandmother's affairs. She has left the Blood Clothing Hall for a long time and traveled around the world."
"At that time, your mother happened to arrive at my place and saved me. As for where Zhang Siyuan appeared, according to what he later said, he was going to assassinate the local county magistrate, and the two happened to meet."
"I thank them. Your mother is very nice. She cleaned my wounds and picked herbs to heal my wounds."
"She asked me why I was seriously injured and fainted on the side of the road. I told her about the water bandits, and your mother quickly went to report to the officials for help."
"At that time, I didn't know that she was the top assassin in the Blood Clothing Hall, Silver Fox Tao Huaping."
"She told me, don't worry, and there is no need to report to the officials. She will kill the water bandits."
"Of course I don't believe it. That night, I saw her and Zhang Siyuan secretly discussing something, and then Zhang Siyuan left the ruined temple and came back at noon the next day. That night, the two of them went out together after I went to bed."
"Of course I didn't fall asleep. Out of concern and the responsibility of the man, I followed quietly and found that they came all the way to the burnt dock."
"That place has long become a hell on earth - the bustling streets of the past are gone, the ground is full of ashes and burnt corpses, people's heads are cut down, piled up together, and placed into Jingguan. There are also children's bodies, whose clothes are taken off and placed in the open space, in the shape of a strange flower. In the middle is a pregnant woman whose belly is digging open, revealing a hideous baby."
"It took me a long time to realize that it was a mysterious sacrificial ritual in the South China Sea. During the years I was in the Blood Clothing Hall, I also came into contact with something much more terrifying than that scene, and I no longer felt afraid."
"It was only at that time that I saw this scene in the dark and almost urinated."
Ju Anqing smiled mockingly: "Your mother

After standing silently for a while, Zhang Siyuan went to collect the corpses and burn them clean with fire. Your mother pulled out the sword and started wiping it."
"Later, two small boats floated on the sea, and there was a man wearing a black and red robe in a blood-clothed hall, and he was dressed like this."
"Your mother suddenly turned around and looked at the place where I was hiding. I hurriedly lowered my head, but unexpectedly, she directly exposed me."
"Your mother said, follow along the way quietly, if I want to take revenge, follow them."
"I don't know why, your mother's words have the majesty that I can't resist. I walked up, got on the boat, and followed them out of the sea."
"When I come back to my senses again, I am already in a small island, the hiding place for those Nanyang bandits."
"I stood on the shore and watched the sky-high firelight ignite on the island. The water bandits fled on the island in horror. Your mother was wearing plain clothes, passing in the fire coldly, and reaping their lives with swords after sword."
Listening to Ju An Qingyan’s description, Li Xinan became more and more confused.
"Is my mother so handsome?"
"It's more than just the word handsome. If your mother didn't marry your father, she might have become that female sword fairy and overwhelmed the Tang Dynasty alone."
Li Xin'an's expression was gentle: "I can't remember my mother anymore, and there is no portrait of her in the Blood Clothing Hall. Sometimes I just vaguely see a woman in my dreams, holding a baby, singing songs gently. But even so, her face is always shrouded in a layer of fog."
"It might be a good thing that you don't remember her."
Juan Qingyuan sighed, "On the day your mother died, everyone in the Blood Clothing Hall, whether it was your grandfather's people or his opponents, fell into deep sadness. When I think about it now, I still feel extremely heartbroken."
"You can't remember her, at least you don't have to bear this sadness."
"But she is my mother."
Li Xin'an whispered: "Which child is willing to forget his mother?"
Juan Qingyuan paused and said, "You are right. You who forgot your mother are the ones who are the most painful."
He continued:
"After returning from the island, we paid homage to the murdered people. After seeing your mother's strength, I no longer had the idea of going home and naturally joined the Blood Clothing Hall."
"I have good talent. In eleven years, I have practiced Yinsha Wuji to great success and my strength has also been promoted to the second-grade middle level. Now, although I have not reached the first-grade level, I am not at the peak of the second-grade level, but I am one of the best people in Japan."
"Later, you were born. I was doing tasks outside for many years and I didn't have much contact with you and your mother."
"Until the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, your grandfather Tao Boshan couldn't afford to get sick because of your mother's death. He called back many alien assassins from the Blood Clothing Hall from outside, and I was one of them."
"Alien Assassin?" This was the first time Li Xinan heard this statement.
"Oh, you don't know, no wonder. After that year, in order to ensure the top secret of that matter, all the alien assassins were dismissed back to their hometown. It was because of this opportunity that I was able to return to Japan."
"The Blood Clothes Hall destroyed all the information about us, the aliens, and made you younger generations think that the Blood Clothes Hall is the only people of the Tang Dynasty."
"In fact, the current Emperor Li Tang has the blood of the Qiang people in the northwest. How could the Blood Clothing Hall be so tight that it will not accept aliens?"
Li Xinan smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you were the only exception."
Juan Qingyuan said: "As far as I know, I am the only one of the foreign assassins in the Blood Clothing Hall in Japan, not in southern Xinjiang, three of them in the South Ocean, seven of them in Khitan, two of them in Tubo, and eighteen of them in the Western Regions."
"There are so many in the Western Regions?" Li Xin'an said in surprise.
Juan Qingyuan's face was solemn: "Do you know why the Blood Clothes Hall recruits so many alien assassins?"
"I don't dare to guess, please explain to me."
"for you."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Li Xinan was stunned as if thunder was shaking.
After a long time, he said in disbelief: "Why me?"
Juan Qingyuan said, "I just said that your grandfather was seriously ill and recalled us alien assassins. He met us one by one in his bedroom."
"I don't know what he said to others. I only know that after the people in front of me entered your grandfather's room, I never saw them again. After I entered, I never saw them again."
"After I went in, I saw a secret passage opened in your grandfather's bedroom, and two masked men carried out a large box filled with gold."
"He told me to bring this gold back to Japan, let me grow the Ju family, and then wait for someone to cross the ocean."
"If I can't wait, then I will pass on this mission to my tribe members and continue it from generation to generation. As my repayment to the Blood Clothing Hall."
"Who do you think the person you have taken so seriously for is that?"
After a long silence, Li Xin'an opened his lips and said slowly:
"I."
"I think the tasks carried by other alien assassins are the same. We bear the kindness of the Blood Clothing Hall. After our martial arts are accomplished, we will return to our hometown with gold, silver and treasures, develop our own power, and then wait for your arrival."
Li Xinan said confusedly: "But... why?"
"You are his only descendant. Maybe it's your grandfather who is leaving a way out for you. He owes your mother in this life and doesn't want to owe you anymore."
"Or, what someone else means."
"What do others mean?"
Juan Qingyuan took a deep breath: "When I took the order and left the room through the back door, I looked back at your grandfather's last glance. That was the one that turned around and I accidentally saw a figure behind the screen."
"That figure is very vague, but I recognized it. It was your father - Li Linfu."
Li Xin'an said in a disloyal voice: "How is that possible!"
"Although I have met him for a few times and have been watching from afar, I can still recognize him at a glance."
Juan Qingyuan sighed and said, "I think it's not just your grandfather, but your father also hopes that you will have a safe place to spend the rest of your life in the future."
Li Xin'an's complex expression was complicated, and after a long time, he said coldly:
"I don't need his kindness."
Juan Qingyuan's expression changed slightly, but she said nothing.
But Li Xin'an got a lot of trouble.
"Why does he think that I would go to those places? Nanyang, a small country, does not know etiquette; Khitan and the Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies for hundreds of years; Western Regions have many countries, and they can't even speak."
"Wait, Western Regions?"
Li Xin'an's face was heavy, and a terrible thought arose in his heart and could no longer be dispelled.
A ray of sunlight broke through the thick clouds and shone on him through the window.
Li Xin'an looked up and saw that the night that brought him countless shocks finally passed.
Juan Qingyuan hid on the side of the wall, avoiding the sun.
"When I practiced, I was so crazy that I could not see the sun from now on, otherwise my whole body would be hot until it burned."
He said hoarsely: "I can only wear bandages all over my body and become this ghost."
Li Xin'an stood up, bowed a long time, and said:
"Thank you for explaining what happened back then, I feel at ease and thank you very much."
"I am now wanted, and some things cannot be delayed. Please forgive me and have to say goodbye."
Juan Qingyuan nodded: "I am no longer a person from the Blood Clothing Hall. You don't need to be polite to me. If you want to leave, just leave."
Li Xin'an clasped his fists again, and with the terrible thought in his heart, he jumped out of the window.
