Qin Shaoyou was stunned for three full breaths before he was sure that what he saw was not an illusion.
At this time, Nangong You already had white hair and three obvious wrinkles on his forehead. He was completely different from the senior Nangong you knew.
"Junior brother, don't be nervous. Since you and I are destined to meet again, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"
Nangong You's tone was calm, and there was no other deep meaning. This made Qin Shaoyou puzzled.
He clearly remembered that he had already given Nangong You to...
"Mr. Qin?"
Seeing his serious expression, Li Mutian asked tentatively.
"I didn't expect City Master Li to have a relationship with my senior brother. It's really surprising."
Qin Shaoyou shook off those complicated thoughts and looked at the two of them without hesitation.
Although Li Mutian was the city lord, he obviously respected Nangong You. Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he immediately laughed and invited Qin Shaoyou to come in and talk.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and agreed.
If Nangong You had tried to harm him, he might have become a corpse by now.
Since this was the case, he ended their friendship and followed everyone into the city lord's mansion.
In the meeting hall of the main palace, Li Mutian first introduced the current situation of Canglong City to Qin Shaoyou.
It turned out that not long after Qin Shaoyou left, the Luo family contacted many old troops to deal with Jiang City Lord's family. Li Mutian followed Qin Shaoyou's reminder and pretended to ask Situ Honglie for help, pretending to pass on Jiang Yue's order to tell him who had put down the rebels.
, you can marry Jiang Ling'er, the city lord's daughter.
As expected, Situ Honglie was fooled and fought with the Luo family for several years. During this period, Li Mutian led more than a dozen of his subordinates to practice the "Hantan Dragon Shadow" marksmanship left by Qin Shaoyou and cultivated a man named "Long Shadow".
Army's special forces.
Although they were only mortals and could not use the supply of spiritual power, the marksmanship itself was very powerful and they were good at using offense as defense. When Situ Honglie and the Luo family were fighting to the extreme, Li Mutian led the Long Shadow Army to rush out.
All heads were harvested.
Seeing this situation at that time, Jiang Yue could only marry Jiang Ling'er to Li Mutian.
Ten years later, Jiang Yue died of illness, and Situ Honglie's old troops united with other opposing forces to cause trouble again. Li Mutian used the power of thunder to bloodbath the entire city defense department and even all the major forces in Canglong City.
At this point, Canglong City has completely fallen into the hands of Li Mutian, and the Jiang family has retreated to the second line. Although it has lost its former glory, it can still live in a comfortable and comfortable life.
"Li can be where he is today thanks to Mr. Qin's two clever tricks back then!"
When Li Mutian said this, his face suddenly became serious. He stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to Qin Shaoyou.
"City Lord Li doesn't have to be so polite."
Qin Shaoyou responded with a smile, but did not avoid it, so he accepted this great gift.
"Dad, why do you keep calling him sir? He looks like he's not even older than his brother!"
Li Ruyun, who was standing aside, had been curious about Qin Shaoyou from the beginning, and when she saw her father calling Qin Shaoyou sir several times, she began to murmur in her heart.
"Ruyun, don't be rude!"
Jiang Ling'er's expression changed slightly, and she immediately pulled Li Ruyun to her side, for fear of angering Qin Shaoyou and causing his displeasure.
"When an adult speaks, how can a child like you speak?"
"Someone, take the lady back to the room!"
Li Mutian scolded slightly angrily.
Li Ruyun's eyes ached when she heard this, and she felt aggrieved and was about to cry. You know, Li Mutian had never been so harsh to her.
Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly and couldn't help teasing:
"Am I that scary?"
Li Mutian looked flattering and apologized:
"Mr. Qin laughed."
Jiang Ling'er wiped the tears from the corners of Li Ruyun's eyes and explained:
"Back then, my mother was assassinated by a gangster, and your grandfather searched all over the city for miracle doctors but they were unable to do anything. If Mr. Bu Qin had come to the rescue, there wouldn't be a silly girl like you!"
This was the first time Li Ruyun heard this story, and her eyes widened.
"Mr. Qin, Ruyun apologizes to you. Thank you for saving my mother..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Li Mutian glanced at Nangong You, who had been closing his eyes to rest, and knew that the nostalgia between his family and Qin Shaoyou was about to end.
"Mr. Qin, uncle, you brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and you must have a lot to say, so we won't interrupt you."
With that said, Li Mutian got up and left with everyone, and before leaving, he even closed the door of the meeting hall.
At this time, only Nangong You and Qin Shaoyou were left in the meeting hall.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little chilly.
After a long time, Nangong You slowly opened his eyes.
"Yuan Ling Zong..."
"No more."
Qin Shaoyou continued.
"Why...."
"I've known for a long time that such a day would come, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly..."
Nangong You stood up from his chair and turned to look at Qin Shaoyou.
"Besides you, is there anyone else who escaped?"
"have...."
Qin Shaoyou told Nangong You everything that happened in Yuan Ling Sect word by word. When Nangong You heard that only Su Xiaoxiao and Kang Xingliu were left among the Seven Saints of Yuan Ling, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
A line of clear tears.
"Su Wan...she...she's fine..."
At this moment, Nangong You felt as if a huge boulder had exploded into pieces in his heart. The grief of losing Yuan Lingzong was unknowingly diminished a bit at this moment.
"That day in the demon realm, you..."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but asked.
Although it was inappropriate to mention this matter at the moment, if he didn't figure it out, he would always feel like he had a knot in his heart.
"It's a long story..."
"Let's start with...you getting the Nine Profound Jade!"
Nangong You wiped away his tears, turned around, and looked at Qin Shaoyou as he spoke word by word.
As soon as these words came out, the temperature of the entire hall suddenly dropped sharply. Qin Shaoyou took a breath of air and took a few steps back.
"Do you know Jiu Xuan Jade?!"
"By the way, I almost forgot, it was you who betrayed Jiang Feng!"
Qin Shaoyou looked furious. At the same time, he had begun to forcefully use his spiritual power and was ready to run away at any time.
"If I really betrayed Jiang Feng, do you think I would still be standing here?"
Nangong You responded unhurriedly.
"You...what do you mean?!"
"Actually... it can be said that I betrayed him..."
Nangong You's tone changed and he became much more melancholy.
He ignored Qin Shaoyou's reaction. After a pause, he began to speak slowly:
"At that time, Jiang Feng, I, and Jiang Feng's sister Jiang Tong, the three of us grew up together. We had a very good relationship. When we were seventeen, Jiang Tong and I got married..."
Just the first sentence completely shocked Qin Shaoyou.
Nangong You married Jiang Feng’s sister. Doesn’t that mean that Jiang Feng is Nangong You’s uncle?!
No wonder Li Mutian called him uncle just now. This Nangong You is really Li Mutian’s ancestor!
"But the good times didn't last long. Tong'er was born weak and had weak blood. After getting married, her body became even worse than before. Jiang Feng and I visited famous doctors and tried countless prescriptions, but we were still unable to cure her illness..."
"Later, I learned that no mortal prescription could save Tong'er's life. Only the legendary immortal cultivator had that kind of life-saving elixir."
"I ignored Tong'er's attempts to stay and resolutely embarked on the road to seek immortality. After going through many difficulties and dangers, I finally found the Yuan Ling Sect..."
"I entered the outer sect and found the rejuvenation pill that could save Tong'er's life. But when I was about to go down the mountain, I realized that new disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain for three years!"
"Three years later, when I returned home, Tong'er was already..."
Nangong You choked up a little and paused for a long time before continuing:
"Jiang Feng resented me, and I felt guilty in my heart. I wanted to introduce Jiang Feng to the Yuan Ling Sect, but he didn't want to stay in the sect with me. I had no choice. I later tried my best to introduce him to the Qing Maple Valley.
At the foot of the mountain.”
"It was only after Jiang Feng started cultivating immortality that he realized my difficulties. Later, our relationship eased a lot and we have always been in contact."
"But no one else knew my true relationship with him."
"Time passed by more than two hundred years ago. Twenty-three years ago, Jiang Feng suddenly gave me a transmission note, saying that he had found a way to bring Tong'er back to life. I thought he was crazy at the time and didn't believe what he said at all.
, after all, Tong'er has been dead for two hundred years, even if a real immortal descends to earth, he probably won't be able to do it."
"Besides, it took me more than two hundred years to let go of Tong'er. I really can't bear to mess with her remains anymore..."
"But Jiang Feng said that he discovered the secret of their sect. There is an ancestral jade in Qingfeng Valley, called Jiu Xuan Jade. It is said that those who have the opportunity can comprehend various heaven-defying Taoist techniques. Jiang Feng thought it would be useful
This piece of jade can save Tong'er..."
"After he stole this piece of Jiu Xuan Jade, he studied it first, but he didn't get the heaven-defying Taoist technique that can bring the dead back to life, so he wanted me to try it."
"To be honest, at that time, I really believed it, but in order to verify the feasibility of this method, I still went to ask my master...Ye Wuji!!!"
When Nangong You said these three words, it was obvious that he said them through gritted teeth.
"I found out later that Ye Wuji had been colluding with Qing Maple Valley for a long time. I let it slip, and Jiang Feng was hunted down by Qing Maple Valley!"
"When I went down the mountain to look for him, I met Jing Yueyang from the Green Maple Valley. I had a battle with him. At the same time, Ye Wuji sent my senior brother Mo Feiyun to intercept Jiang Feng.
....”
"You also know what happened later. The Nine-Xuan Jade fell into your hands, and Jiang Feng fell because of it..."
Qin Shaoyou was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
"So, when you were willing to introduce me to Yuan Ling Sect, you already knew that I had the Nine Profound Jade?"
Nangong You shook his head and replied:
"I don't know, but I know that you just saved Jiang Yue's family at that time. Out of gratitude to you, I brought you into the outer sect."
"But I quickly figured out that the Nine Profound Jade was in your hands. Based on your cultivation at that time, if you had stayed in the outer sect all the time, you would have been unable to keep this secret, so I took you to Five
Yunshan Mine, and ask Uncle Kang to take care of you."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Uncle Kang would really fall in love with you and accept you as his direct disciple."
Qin Shaoyou no longer knew what words to use to describe his inner shock.
He thought for a while and suddenly asked:
"Did you really want to prevent me from entering the inner sect at the Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"Since Jiang Feng handed over the Nine Profound Jade to you, I will naturally respect his choice."
"I don't want you to enter the inner sect because I don't want Ye Wuji to give Ye Wuji any chance. I just didn't expect that you, a kid like you, won't be able to get in..."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that Nangong You was targeting him to protect him.
But Nangong You would never have thought that at that time, Xu Muqing had already snatched the piece of Jiu Xuan Jade away!
Now that I think about it, when he first entered the inner sect, Mo Feiyun used his spiritual thoughts to search his whole body unscrupulously, presumably to find the Jiuxuan Jade!
In this case, he would like to thank Xu Muqing.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
"Ye Wuji believed that the master Taishu had killed his master Lin Jun, and wanted to avenge Lin Jun, so he secretly sent a volume of evil magic called Blood Spirit Art to Qing Maple Valley.
At that time, we began to plot to overthrow the Yuan Ling Sect."
"Ye Wuji has also practiced this Blood Spirit Art, but his practice is obviously more complete than the volume given to him for weighing. He can separate his spiritual thoughts, enter other people's bodies, and completely control that person's words and deeds, regardless of whether they are with him or not.
No matter how far away the main body is, it can be controlled by him!"
"I discovered his secret at that time, and he used this method to control me. What you met in the demon realm was me controlled by Ye Wuji!"
Nangong You sighed and turned to look at Qin Shaoyou.
"That feeling is terrible. I can clearly see what Ye Wuji did, but I can't do anything. Even the spiritual power in my body is not under my control!"
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for that last thunderbolt!"
"If this thunder hadn't scattered Ye Wuji's spiritual thoughts, I don't know how long I would have been a human puppet!"
