There are only three exercises and a letter inside.
Chu Haotian looked at the familiar Chu family's unique skills and became even more convinced that this was his father's storage bag.
"father--"
When he went back to Lingfeng City eight years ago, he had already learned that almost all the people in Lingfeng City were dead, but he still had some illusions in his heart. Until he saw his father's storage bag, his illusions were shattered.
My father still couldn't escape, otherwise he wouldn't have given the storage bag to anyone else and would have looked for him personally.
He held back the sourness and tears welling up in his nose and took out the letter again.
There are four big words written on the envelope - My son personally writes this.
The familiar handwriting made Chu Haotian's grief and pain even more intense, and tears finally flowed out of the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
He didn't bother to wipe it and couldn't wait to open the letter. There were only a few dozen words in it, and the handwriting was very sloppy and messy.
Fortunately, he had watched his father write frequently since he was a child, so he was very familiar with his handwriting, and he could tell at a glance that it was written by his father in a hurry.
After a while, Chu Haotian put down the letter with red eyes and disbelief. His father wrote in the letter that he had done something wrong and harmed the people of the city. Even if he died in this life, he would not be able to make amends and atone for his sins, so he wanted to fight with Ling Fengcheng. People live and die together.
But I hope that I can forget the hatred and live in anonymity for the rest of my life.
Chu Haotian didn't know that the destruction of Lingfeng City was related to his Chu family, but he remembered that he was thrown out of Lingfeng City by Mo Jiuzhong, the guest elder invited by their Chu family.
At that time, the man directly slapped the talisman seal on himself. At that time, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes and fainted.
When I woke up again, I realized that I was deep in the mountains. After walking for a whole day, I couldn't see a single person, and I couldn't find the way back. It was really frustrating every day.
In the end, he was besieged by a group of third-level fire ants. Just when he was desperate, his master descended from the sky and rescued him.
He originally wanted to ask the master to take him out of the mountain and go home, but the master was at a critical moment in his practice, and it would be the most benevolent thing for him to save him.
He had no choice but to patiently follow his master to practice in the mountains for several months, relying on the Bigu Pills and protective magical weapons given by his master to survive.
After the master finally came out of seclusion, he begged the master to take him back to Lingfeng City, but when he went back, what he saw was an empty city.
The master told him that he sensed that an evil cultivator had caused chaos here and massacred a whole city of people. Someone passing by might have buried the bodies here.
He rushed back home unwillingly, and it was also empty, as if he and his master were the only two people left in the whole city.
Seeing that his family was ruined and homeless, the master took him back to the Hehuan Sect.
In this way, it was the Chu family that harmed the people of Lingfeng City and the other three major families.
Chu Haotian couldn't accept it. He had always wanted to find the murderer who killed a whole city and avenge everyone. However, the culprit turned out to be his father and family.
Then what's the point of practicing so hard for so many years, and what's the point of living so hard?
Hundreds of thousands of innocent people died because of his father, how could he still live calmly?
The blood of the Chu family flows in his body, so he has to bear the Chu family's sins. Therefore, he is the culprit. He only needs to kill himself and destroy the last trace of the Chu family's blood to avenge those innocent people in Lingfeng City who died in vain.
Chu Haotian's heart was filled with despair, and he had the will to die. His eyes were as red as blood, and his aura began to become chaotic, and he gradually showed signs of becoming possessed.
"Chu Haotian, you are so promising, you can't withstand any setbacks."
Zhuzhu immediately shouted angrily, pulling him back to his senses from the edge of obsession.
"I have been looking for the enemy who destroyed the city for decades, but I didn't expect it to be me. What's the point of my life? I might as well die to apologize."
Chu Haotian's eyes were red, which showed that he was still on the verge of becoming possessed.
"Who said it was your Chu family who destroyed the city? Your Chu family is guilty, but you only committed the crime of luring a wolf into the house. The real murderer who destroyed the city is someone else. Don't you want to wash away the sins of your Chu family and die for Lingfeng City's innocent people? Have the people taken revenge?"
Zhuzhu looked directly into Chu Haotian's eyes and spoke word by word.
"Who is it?"
Who used the Chu family to commit this unforgivable crime?
Chu Haotian asked while thinking about it, and he already had the answer in his mind before Zhuzhu answered.
Besides Mo Jiuzhong, the elder of the Chu family's Keqing, he is the only one who has this ability.
"You've already guessed it!" Zhuzhu said with certainty.
Chu Haotian nodded: "It's the man named Mo."
"But why is he willing to let me go?" He even killed the Chu family who joined forces with him, why did he only let himself go?
If he had known this was the case at that time, he would rather stay in Lingfeng City and die with everyone than live alone in this world.
"Probably because your father once negotiated some conditions with him."
Chu Haotian thought of the mistakes his father had made that had harmed a whole city, and couldn't help but fall into the torment of guilt, grief, regret, and self-blame.
Seeing Chu Haotian in agony, Zhuzhu sighed. Although she had some prejudice against Chu Haotian at first because of the Chu family, she subconsciously understood that Chu Haotian probably didn't know about all the decisions made by Patriarch Chu. Because of his poor cultivation aptitude, He was raised by the Chu family since he was a child, and he was a heartless and righteous little bully.
Seeing how painful it was for him to learn the truth today, Zhuzhu was even more convinced that her intuition was good, Chu Haotian was innocent, and she shouldn't look at him with colored glasses.
"Okay, cheer up quickly, you are the 'King of Chu'."
In order to encourage Chu Haotian to put away his disguise skills, Zhuzhu showed his true appearance.
When Chu Haotian heard the words 'King Chu', he put back his negative emotions and looked up at her. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhuzhu's true appearance.
"Why, you don't recognize me, my aunt?"
Zhuzhu recalled her personality and actions two lives ago, and deliberately put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly.
Chu Haotian shook his head honestly. He really couldn't remember where he had seen such a beautiful girl.
The problem is that she still knows her nickname when she was in Lingfeng City, which shows that she should be relatively familiar with him.
Zhuzhu was speechless. She recognized him at a glance, but he still didn't recognize him even after he gave her another reminder.
If that guy Qi Jingchen was alive, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.
"I am -" Zhuzhu was too lazy to keep it secret anymore and was ready to tell the truth.
As a result, Chu Haotian finally recognized her at this moment: "You are Zhuzhu, right?"
Zhuzhu nodded: "Not too stupid."
"That's great Zhuzhu, I didn't expect you to be alive." He was finally no longer alone.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Haotian saw her nodding in recognition, he excitedly stepped forward to give her a bear hug. Zhuzhu subconsciously raised her foot and kicked him onto the wooden bed opposite.
Fortunately, the force she used was small. If she had been stronger, she might have been able to kick him out of the Bajia Feixian Pavilion.
"Woo...we haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, Zhuzhu, why have you become so violent?"
Chu Haotian got up from the bed holding his stomach, looking very aggrieved. He felt that there must be another black and purple footprint on his stomach.
The problem is that he is a physical cultivator, but he was kicked far away by a skinny female cultivator and almost suffered internal injuries. How come he felt that Zhuzhu's physical fitness was better than him.
"There is a difference between men and women. If you touch or touch me again, I will beat you. Sit down and talk."
In order to express her apology, Zhuzhu poured Chu Haotian a cup of spiritual tea to apologize.
"Huh, except for your appearance, you don't look like a girl at all." Chu Haotian has never regarded Zhuzhu as a girl since he was a child, let alone now that she is so powerful that she almost cut off his own life with a dagger.
Thinking of this, Chu Haotian felt even more aggrieved: "Since you recognized me, why did you still hold me hostage, snatch my storage ring, and return..."
Chu Hao couldn't continue talking. At that time, he really thought that Zhuzhu was going to do something evil to him and turn him into a monster that was neither male nor female. He almost pissed himself with fear. He wanted to apologize after a cup of spiritual tea, but he couldn't even think about it.
"Okay," Zhuzhu smiled awkwardly, "Don't be angry. I felt that you had ill intentions towards us and thought you had become bad, so I tested you and returned the storage ring to you."
Zhuzhu took off Chu Haotian's storage ring and handed it to him.
Chu Haotian took the storage ring and put it on his hand with a huff: "If you want me not to be angry, just tell me in detail what happened on the day when Lingfeng City was destroyed more than 20 years ago."
He wants to know how Lingfeng City was destroyed, he must remember this incident forever, and he must always remind himself of revenge.
"no problem."
Zhuzhu also feels that escaping cannot solve the problem. Only by facing the problem head-on and finding a solution can the obstacles in her heart be lifted.
Especially Chu Haotian, although he did not make the mistake, he has the blood of the Chu family in his body, so he is burdened with hatred and suffers inner torture and condemnation all the time. In fact, he is in more pain than she is.
If possible, she would be willing to beautify the dead Chu clan leader in her story to make him feel better.

Happy City——
After Zhuzhu and the others left, Tingtao Pavilion's manager made a flying note.
After a while, Qiu Meng Zhenjun came over in a hurry: "Uncle Tong, is what you said in Feiyin Yin true?"
"See for yourself." Shopkeeper Tong pointed at the messy hall and said.
Qiu Mengzhenjun looked at the broken tables, chairs and benches on the ground, and his face turned pale: "My little disciple was really kidnapped by those two witches?"
"Aren't you looking for two cauldrons for your apprentice? Why have you turned into a witch again?" Shopkeeper Tong smiled teasingly.
"Damn it, I actually took a wrong look."
Qiu Mengzhenjun smashed the only intact mahogany table in the hall in frustration.
Those two women were not in the middle stage of foundation building, otherwise Haotian would not have been captured so easily by the two of them.
After all, I really blame him, the master, for harming his young disciple.
"Ten high-grade spiritual stones." Shopkeeper Tong stretched out his hand.
"Why don't you help stop them? Haotian is a disciple of our Hehuan Sect!"
Qiu Mengzhenjun was puzzled, but he still took out ten high-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Shopkeeper Tong.
I remember that there used to be a classmate who owed Master Tong fifty yuan of high-grade spiritual stones and refused to give him. Master Tong chased that person for a month, always following him and asking for it. Months later, the profit had been dozens of times higher than before, forcing him to sell iron to get enough spiritual stones to return to Master Tong.
From now on, no one dared to owe Master Tong spiritual stones.
If he hadn't spent these ten high-grade spiritual stones today, it is estimated that Uncle Tong could have been chasing him for a day, and it was very likely that he would have turned into a hundred high-grade spiritual stones tomorrow.
"You're not my disciple, so I don't care. I can tell you for the sake of my fellow disciples."
Shopkeeper Tong took the spirit stone and stuffed it into his arms with a smile. It would be great if there were more monks fighting and making trouble recently, which would be worth the drinks he worked hard to sell for a month.
"Uncle Tong, does he know which direction the two demon girls went?"
Qiu Mengzhenjun said helplessly, it would be fine if Master Tong didn't stop them, he couldn't have failed to see where they were running.
"To be honest, I really haven't seen it clearly." Shopkeeper Tong said, "However, I think your apprentice is not in danger, so you don't need to worry too much."
Seeing that Qiu Meng didn't believe his words and thought he was favoring the two female cultivators who were disguised as men, Shopkeeper Tong was in a good mood today and told Qiu Meng what he saw, and then said:
"That female cultivator could obviously forcibly erase the mark of divine consciousness on your disciple's storage ring, but in order not to hurt him, she still took out a hundred high-grade spiritual stones from her storage ring to compensate me. It shows that she is not She is a ruthless female cultivator, and I saw that the flying magic weapons they used were of the Lingbao level. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, which also shows that these two people have a good background. They may be disciples of some large sect or family. , should not bother to kill a foundation-building monk."
"But why did they take Haotian away?"
You want to say robbery, but it's not like that. After all, both of them have flying spiritual treasures, so naturally they won't be interested in something belonging to a foundation-building monk. Even if it's robbery, why take away people.
Could it be seeking revenge?
But based on Qiu Mengzhenjun's understanding of his apprentice, his apprentice was upright and kind-hearted, and he really didn't seem like someone who could make enemies with others.
"Okay, everyone has their own fate." Shopkeeper Tong saw a group of beautifully dressed female cultivators gathered around the door of Tingtao Pavilion, and waved his hand to tell Qiu Meng to leave quickly, "Maybe your disciple meets It’s time for the noble man.”
Qiu Meng Zhenjun stood at the door, attracting a group of warblers and swallows, preventing those who wanted to eat from entering, and affecting his business.
Shopkeeper Tong waved his sleeves again at the mess on the hall, instantly making the broken tables, chairs and benches disappear without a trace, and then took out ten sets of tables, chairs and benches that were exactly the same as before from the storage ring and placed them in their place.
Who would have thought that he actually bought these tables, chairs and benches from the Thousand Stars Islands for a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. As long as one set was broken, he could earn a hundred times the spiritual stones back.
Shopkeeper Tong smiled smugly secretly and prayed that there would be more such taken advantage of.
After Lord Qiu Meng was kicked out by Shopkeeper Tong, he was not in a hurry to leave. He used his spiritual consciousness to carefully search every corner of Changsu Island.
They were not noticed, but they could feel that Haotian's life was not in danger for the time being, because the divine breath talisman he placed on Haotian was not activated, which showed that he was safe now.
hope so!
I hope this young disciple will meet two noble people who can help him instead of evil cultivators.
Otherwise, if you harm your disciple, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life.
Qiu Meng Zhenjun was not in the mood to say hello to these Yingying Yanyan at the moment, so he directly flew out of Tingtao Pavilion with his sword.
No, he had to go back and see if Haotian's soul lamp was on.
He usually said things that he disliked about his younger disciples, but at this moment, Qiu Meng Zhenjun realized that he still cared about this stupid young man.
