"Master Chu!"
Xue Sanniang's voice sounded in Chu Qingxiao's ears.
Chu Qingxiao opened his eyes, and the illusion in front of him disappeared instantly, and he returned to the house in his small courtyard again.
He saw Song Qingqing and others looking at him with worried faces, but he had no idea at the moment. He raised his head and looked in front of him, and the dead soul of Zhu Renzhao was also looking at him.
"let……"
"Let him leave Tianxuan City."
He opened his mouth and used the little strength he had left to speak to Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily towards the other party: "Don't worry, I will convey it to him."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Zhu Renzhao had a smile on his face.
He took a step back and bowed respectfully to Chu Qingxiao. Immediately, his figure began to blur, turning into flickering light particles and scattering into the distance.
When Sanxue Niang saw this, she also understood that the wandering soul in front of her would not be detrimental to Chu Qingxiao. She said: "His soul is dispersing, heading to his final resting place, and falling into eternal sleep."
Chu Qingxiao had seen such a long sleep before. He nodded lightly and watched everything quietly.
At this moment, the only thing he can do for his father is this...
But at the last moment before Zhu Renzhao's soul dispersed, a thin golden thing suddenly overflowed from his body. After his soul completely disappeared, it turned into a stream of light, poured into Chu Qingxiao's eyebrows, and then disappeared.
Chu Qingxiao subconsciously touched his eyebrows, looking a little surprised: "This is it?"
"Divinity." Sanniang said on the side.
"Divinity?" Chu Qingxiao frowned.
Chu Zhaozhao and Song Qingqing on the side also looked nervous.
They have all seen the terrible desolate appearance after the body's sexual nature is eroded.
Xue Sanniang saw everyone's doubts and explained at that time: "Every living being is born with divinity. This power is close to the original power of the living being."
"When you come into contact with a divinity that is not inferior to your own, there is naturally a risk of being corroded. But for the divinity in your body, there is no need to worry about it at all."
"But this is not Chu Qingxiao's divinity..." Chu Zhaozhao said in confusion.
"When a living being has heartfelt worship and admiration for another living being, the divinity in his body will be connected with the other living being, and the divine breath will overflow into the other living being."
"Before Zhu Renzhao's soul dispersed just now, he probably had this kind of belief in Mr. Chu. Coupled with the reason that he was about to go to his final resting place, all the innate divinity in his body poured into the body of Mr. Chu at this time."
“This is essentially the same as a god gaining worship from believers, and there is no risk of being eroded.”
"Is that so..." Chu Zhaozhao felt relieved after hearing this.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Everyone also recovered from the incident just now,
But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone looked up and saw Meng Jin leading Zhu Quan into the courtyard.
At this time, Zhu Quan lost his previous high spirits. He was terrifyingly calm. After seeing Chu Qingxiao, he walked quickly and bowed to Chu Qingxiao respectfully: "Zhu Quan has met Mr. Chu."
"Thank you Mr. Chu for providing the money today to help my father collect his remains."
When Zhu Renzhao's body was discovered today, Chu Qingxiao saw that no one had restrained him, and he could not find any trace of Zhu Quan for a while, so he paid some money to have the body collected and put it in a special room for storing corpses.
Chu Qingxiao also returned the greeting: "With a little effort, I would like to ask Mr. Zhu to express my condolences."
After saying this, Chu Qingxiao took out the sword that Zhu Renzhao gave to him yesterday, handed it over, and said: "This is the sword that Uncle Zhu left in our place yesterday. It is something he cherishes. I specially asked you to wait for it." When Young Master Zhu arrives, I will hand it over to him."
Zhu Quan trembled when he caught a glimpse of the sword.
He reached out and took the sword, and a certain string in his heart seemed to be broken at that moment.
He held the sword and sat back on the stone bench behind him.
Then, he gently touched the blade of the sword with his hand and murmured: "My father has been thinking about entering the inner door all his life."
"He thinks that Tianxuan Mountain is the most glorious place in the world. If you enter Tianxuan Mountain, you can get ahead, but he doesn't want to end up dying here."
His tone was calm.
As calm as still water.
"Why don't you understand that Tianxuan Mountain is not a good place at all? The famous sect that he longs for is actually just a monster that sucks human blood..."
He said this with a bitter look on his face.
After hearing these words, Chu Qingxiao looked at Zhu Quan. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhu, have you ever thought about it, in fact your father knows everything?"
Zhu Quan was stunned when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao: "If he knew the evil things Tianxuan Mountain had done, how could he still force me to join the inner sect..."
"Maybe... it's just because he doesn't have a better choice."
"After all, in this Tianxuan Mountain, the only way to be fair is to become an inner disciple, right?" Chu Qingxiao said softly.
Zhu Quan's expression suddenly changed after hearing this.
"Perhaps Uncle Zhu really doesn't know you very well. He has to do many things every day. In a place like Tianxuan City, it is not that easy to maintain the livelihood of two people while also providing for the needs of practice."
"He is so busy that he has no time to take care of anything else. And Brother Zhu, have you also forgotten that you also never know your father..."
Chu Qingxiao continued.
Zhu Quan seemed to hear something. He looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked, "What exactly does Mr. Chu want to say?"
"Uncle Zhu, he knew from the beginning who the murderer of your mother was."
Chu Qingxiao actually hesitated whether to tell Zhu Quan the truth about the matter.
He knew that in Zhu Renzhao's heart, nothing was more important than his son.
So he chose to bear the truth of his wife's death alone. He knew that letting his son bear this, the hatred would be enough to crush him.
After he turned into a wandering soul, he used his weak soul to resist the call from the place of rest.
Chu Qingxiao waited until Chu Qingxiao came, and told Chu Qingxiao everything about him through his wandering soul, leaving only the words "Let him leave here..."
Obviously, he didn't want Zhu Quan to bear these cruel truths. He wanted him to live well and be like all ordinary people.
But Chu Qingxiao decided to make his own decision.
He wants to tell this bastard guy in front of him all the truth! !
"How is that possible!?" After hearing this, Zhu Quan's eyes widened, he looked up at Chu Qingxiao and said in disbelief.
"If he knew the truth, how could he have been safe for so many years..."
Zhu Quan couldn't understand.
If his father knew that his mother was killed by that Lu Huan.
Then why can he stay in Tianxuan City calmly and not avenge his mother.
Chu Qingxiao had already guessed Zhu Quan's thoughts. He looked sternly and stared at Zhu Quan: "When you are weak, there are not many choices in front of you."
"And those who have few choices, no matter how they choose, it will never be the right one."
Zhu Quan's body trembled, and he seemed to understand something.
"You mean my father was threatened by Lu Huan..."
Chu Qingxiao nodded and added: "I used you, who was young at that time, as a threat."
"Then yesterday..." Zhu Quan's face turned pale, his upper and lower lips were trembling, and something seemed to be pouring out of his eyes.
"He went to the Sword Master Hall himself to see Ma Yingjie and used his method to take the blame for you." Chu Qingxiao said sternly without hiding anything.
In Zhu Quan's eyes, the things he tried so hard to wrap up could no longer be concealed and flowed down his cheeks.
"No...impossible..."
He murmured: "He is such a... such a timid and cowardly person. Even if someone deducts his payment or the people from Liuhuan Peak deliberately overcharge the rent, he does not dare to defend himself. A person like him, How can it be……"
Chu Qingxiao frowned. He didn't like Zhu Quan's self-righteousness.
Zhu Renzhao, this man whom Chu Qingxiao had only met a few times before and after, always reminded him of his father.
That middle-aged man who was also cowardly and fond of petty gains in his eyes.
They are so similar.
In the eyes of others, they are all failures.
I lived in a muddle for most of my life, never doing anything.
But as a father.
They are all competent enough and great enough.
"As Zhu Renzhao, he may be as timid as you said."
"But as a father, he is better and more competent than you think."
"More than a year ago, when he watched you kill Lu Huan, he knew that one day you would face such trouble, so he began to prepare to take the blame for you from then on."
"The person you think is the most cowardly is actually secretly enduring the most terrible ordeal in the bravest way." Chu Qingxiao said this, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Zhu Quan froze on the spot, the last line of defense in his heart was defeated.
It was difficult for him to accept this fact.
In other words, it was difficult for him to accept himself like this.
His father had done so much for him and endured so much, yet he always spoke ill of him.
Even the last words he said to his father were: "You are not worthy of being my father."
A huge sense of shame and regret came over him, drowning him, making him miserable and unable to control himself.
"I don't know what kind of place your Mirror Stage is."
Chu Qingxiao looked down at Zhu Quan, who lowered his head and covered his head, and continued to speak.
"But I think when you joined him, you must know that he is very dangerous. What you do may lead to retaliation from Tianxuan Mountain at any time."
"But you never thought that these things that make you happy and feel noble enough would become your father's death knell."
Hearing this, Zhu Quan raised his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao. He asked confused, confused, aggrieved and angry.
"Am I wrong to do this?"
Chu Qingxiao shook his head: "I said, when you are weak, no matter what choice you make, it will not be right."
The look on Zhu Quan's face darkened, and he looked lonely.
He lowered his head again and was silent for a while.
Then, he whispered: "Thank you for telling me this."
His tone no longer had the high spirits of the past. It was as if his soul had been taken away from him. At that moment, he slowly stood up, clenched the sword in his hand, and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?" Chu Qingxiao stopped him at this moment.
Zhu Quan lowered his head and stood there.
His hand holding the sword tightened again, and veins popped out on the back of his hand.
"Revenge." He said.
"Revenge? What are you taking for revenge?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
"Do you want all your father's efforts to be in vain? Do you want his last wish to die to be in vain?"
Chu Qingxiao's voice became much louder, and he asked loudly.
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked by Chu Qingxiao's suddenly raised voice, and looked at the two of them in shock.
Even Chu Zhaozhao, who has known him for the longest time, has never seen Chu Qingxiao look so angry.
Zhu Quan's body trembled with his back to Chu Qingxiao, and then he turned around and looked at Chu Qingxiao angrily.
"Then what do you want me to do??"
"Are you going to live with this guilt?"
"If you don't do anything! How can I still live?" He was also roaring, his eyes were red and tears were overflowing from his eyes.
"Even if I can't kill Ma Yingjie, then I still have to do something for him!"
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao stepped in front of Zhu Quan. He stretched out his hand and pinched the other person's shirt, staring straight at Zhu Quan.
"If you really want to do something for him, then live well!"
"This is the result he wants most."
After he said this, he paused, and the next moment, something hot came out of his eyes, infecting his eyes.
He thought about the man's soaked clothes on the rainy night, thought about the "stolen" he carefully kept under the night, and thought about the careful planning he followed step by step in the dark door of the mansion.
Chu Qingxiao's voice turned cold.
he said again.
"As for his revenge."
"I'll report it."
