The photo inside the frame has already yellowed; it shows a young man and woman of extraordinary demeanor. The girl is holding a baby in her arms, and both have happy smiles on their faces.
Especially the girl, who is stunningly beautiful, peerlessly handsome, with deep eyes that seem to see through everything in the world. Even through the photo, it's evident that she is a woman full of wisdom!
Moreover, Li Chuan felt that he looked very much like this girl.
"You should realize it by now, right? The young man and woman in the photo are your parents. Back then, they were both favorites of heaven."
Feng Qingyang sighed as he looked at the young man and woman in the photo, a trace of regret on his face.
"Old man, don't be so sad. Everyone has their destiny; you can't blame yourself for this."
Nangong Chunshui comforted him.
"Girl, you don't understand my pain." Feng Qingyang waved his hand.
Gazing at the photo, Nangong Chunshui was thoughtful. He always wondered what his parents were like, considering how handsome he was, and he wasn't disappointed.
Only such good genes could produce a son as incredibly handsome as he was.
Li Chuan was a bit puzzled: "Old man, who are you to them? And who are they?"
Feng Qingyang: "I could say I'm their master. Your father was from the Li Family in Yanjing, but he was from a branch lineage with no real status in the family. As for your grandfather, his talent was quite extraordinary. When he rose to prominence, he overshadowed the geniuses of the Li Family's main lineage, which naturally provoked backlash from them. Eventually, frustrated, your grandfather went down to Jiangnan and established his own Li Family."
"Your mother was the pride of the Yanjing Ye Family, known as a once-in-a-millennium beauty. Her appearance was one thing, but her martial arts talent was terrifying; she could learn and comprehend any martial art overnight. Though she was just a woman, she left her peers in Yanjing far behind, scaring off many Yanjing sons who wanted to pursue her."
"As their child, your talent should have been frightful. But tragically, many things happened later; your father and grandfather's lineage were all killed. To protect you, your parents fought with their lives and managed to save you and entrust you to your master. Afterward, your master disappeared with you."
Recalling those events, Feng Qingyang couldn't help but feel sad and melancholic; such is often the way with age.
Li Chuan: "So according to this, does that mean they might not be dead yet?"
Feng Qingyang looked sorrowful: "With such severe injuries, it would take a miracle."
So there is still hope.
Li Chuan: "Who did it? Was it the main lineage of the Li Family?"
Feng Qingyang: "I've already said too much, violating the agreement we old folks made years ago. I promised your parents that even if I saw you again, I would pretend not to know you. So, the rest is for your master to tell."
"Knowing these things now would only do you harm, not good. Hatred can cloud one's mind, affect your character, make you bloodthirsty and ruthless, and we don't want you to become like that."
"For revenge, you might want to take shortcuts, go down crooked paths, but in cultivation, impatience is the greatest taboo."
"Moreover, knowing the truth will make it easy to expose your identity. If those people find out you are alive, they will surely send experts to kill you!"
Nangong Chunshui's beautiful eyes gleamed as she reached out with her smooth, jade-like fingers to lift Li Chuan's chin, looking like a coquettish woman: "Senior Sister knows you've come into your own now, even becoming the Sect Leader of the Seven Kills Sect. Since you're the Sect Leader, you'll definitely have to participate in the 749 Bureau's competition at the end of the year, and you're very likely to reveal your identity then."
"So, for now, just stay in Yun Valley, focus on your cultivation. Senior Sister here will assist you so that when you become powerful, you can hold your head high, learn the truth, and directly confront them, trample them underfoot, and loudly tell them! Even if they stole from others, they are still trash!"
Seeing Nangong Chunshui's eager eyes, it was clear she was anticipating: "Kid, get stronger soon, so you can have fun with Senior Sister!"
"Senior Sister, show some restraint, I... I'm still too young..."
Li Chuan reached out to move Nangong Chunshui's soft little hand away, really not daring to meet her eyes, because he realized he was already reacting, and if he kept looking, he might lose control and pounce on Nangong Chunshui!
This Senior Sister of his is simply a witch!
She said she likes provoking Li Chuan's interest and then watching him suffer.
Li Chuan did want to push down this little enchantress, but the problem was, although he was the Sect Leader of the Seven Kills Sect, he couldn't match Nangong Chunshui!
"Chunshui, stop teasing him."
Feng Qingyang indicated he simply couldn't bear to watch.
Nangong Chunshui: "What's the big deal? Old man, don't you spend every day watching young ladies dance on your phone? I even saw you send a rocket to someone yesterday. Besides, I followed Master to train just so I could Dual Cultivate with Chuan! It's been a long-settled matter, so why should I be shy?"
Feng Qingyang's old face was a bit embarrassed: "I... I didn't send any rockets... you cheeky girl, why are you spying on people watching videos?"
Nangong Chunshui looked innocent: "I didn't spy; your phone was just too loud, and I'm not deaf! I think if that host asked to meet you, you'd probably clear out your bank account balance and rush over to fawn over her!"
Even though Feng Qingyang, despite his age and his esteemed reputation in Yun Valley, his face flushed at these words, embarrassed enough for his toes to scrabble out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.
But as someone who had seen much in life, he took a deep breath and immediately said: "You must have heard wrong; why would I send rockets? Who cares about female hosts, even dogs don't watch them! You can't talk nonsense in front of Chuan. After all, I'm your martial uncle? I've helped you for so many years, can't you stop tearing me down?"
Nangong Chunshui: "Fine! Then hurry up and bring out those treasures you've been hiding, I'm going to have a mandarin duck bath with my little brother later, and we need to reshape his body quickly so we can Dual Cultivate soon!"
