Jade felt like a walking zombie. Even though she had entered the stone gate, she still couldn't believe what she saw.
Those aren't her parents? Li Fengyao is his mother?
Why? Isn't it Li Fenglan? She is so smart, shouldn't she be the one to handle these things? Why did these things suddenly happen to me?
After walking in the narrow tunnel for a long time, I finally saw the light.
This is a quite large space with many candles lit and filled with bookshelves. Many people are walking through the bookshelves. Those people are busy with what they are doing and don't care at all about the jade that just came in. There was a large open space in the center, and a low table was placed on the open space. The low table was filled with books. Li Fengyao knelt down at the low table, copying something attentively.
As if she sensed someone coming, Li Fengyao said without raising her head: "The Li family's intelligence agency has never been destroyed. We are not the Bai family or the Shangguan family. We will not do all the work at home. This way. We have several stone chambers."
She finally raised her head and smiled at Jade: "Don't just stand there, sit down."
Jade knelt down on the futon on the other side of her low table. An unknown anger began to rise in her heart. She couldn't help clenching her hands, and the jade pendant was crushed to pieces with a "pop".
Li Fengyao looked at the jade pendant and continued to copy with her head down: "There are three pieces of this jade pendant. Take your time. It's not easy to make one piece."
Jade asked coldly: "Why?"
Li Fengyao replied: "You shouldn't ask me about this. You should ask Mo Changfeng. Of course, you should ask Chen Yan. She has been your mother for nineteen years and she never thought of explaining it?"
"What I'm asking is, why did you leave me in Chaolan Valley?"
"I remember I answered it in Yaoxian Valley last year. If you still want to hear it, I can answer it again... I couldn't raise you at that time, but I didn't know where to send you, so I simply put you in the court. Arashi Valley."
Jade was trying to calm down: "Chaolan Lake, it's very cold at night in August."
"right."
"Aren't you afraid that I will freeze to death?"
"Afraid," Li Fengyao raised her head and looked at Jade, "I only have two relatives in this world, daughter, do you think I'm afraid?"
"Then why..."
"There are not so many reasons." She lowered her head and copied. "You live a happy life in Chaolan Valley, at least happier than you do with me. You have sisters, friends, and elders who love you. Isn't this enough?"
"not enough."
"Then I will make it up to you slowly in the future. Girl, I know you like the three boys of the Bai family. It doesn't matter. Mom has no objection. It's really an advantage for their family. If it weren't for you, it would only be a matter of time before the Bai family's reputation would be ruined."
"You let me in, not just to get to know me, right?"
"Of course not. You don't want to participate in tomorrow's battle. Just stay here."
"What if I don't agree?"
"I am your biological mother and I will not harm you. There is little chance of winning against Lan Gu tomorrow."
"What did you say?"
"Chaolan Valley and Thorn Gate, two major forces will disappear in this battle."
Jade suddenly stood up: "Impossible! Our strength..."
Li Fengyao interrupted her: "What kind of strength? My daughter, you have to lose something. You will stay with me from now on and help me solve the troubles in front of me. When our revenge is over, you can fight with the three boys of the Bai family." The life you want. As for your sisters, your fake parents...they are all fake anyway, why do you care so much?"
"Why don't I care?!" Jade almost yelled, "I grew up there!"
"Yes, is it sad? The place where I grew up is no longer there. Just get used to it."
Jade wanted to kill someone, wanted to chop the woman in front of her into pieces. But she couldn't do it. This person was her only blood relative in the world, her own mother.
"Get used to it!" A woman shouted from the entrance of the cave.
Jade turned around and saw Li
Feng Lan walked over angrily.
"Li Fengyao!" She said loudly, "You only have children but don't support them. What's your point?"
Li Fengyao sighed: "I told you, I couldn't support her at that time."
"Absurd," Li Fenglan rolled her eyes, "What excuse are you making? There are many people in the world who are worse off than you, so they won't raise children? Forget it, people like you are unreasonable, so bring it."
Looking at Li Fenglan's outstretched right hand, Li Fengyao was a little puzzled: "What are you taking?"
"Stop pretending. I've been your daughter for so long, so I have to give you some benefits, right? I want the Bai family's ban in your hands to control the Bai family's things."
"What if I don't give it?"
"Hehe," Li Fenglan smiled, "Then you can't leave. You may have a misunderstanding of the current situation. Even if the Bai family rebels, I can still win. Do you think it's just Bai Shuyu who found the hiding place of the leader of Yeyu Xiaozhu? ? Besides, what are the benefits of cooperating with the Bai family? It would be much easier for Bai Shuyu to stab you than to stab me, and he won’t have any psychological burden if he kills you."
"Well," Li Fengyao raised her eyebrows, "You're right, here you go."
Li Fengyao's reaction made Li Fenglan stunned for a long time: Is it so simple?
Taking the brochure handed over by Li Fengyao, Li Fenglan quickly flipped through it, and finally found what she wanted to read. Li Fenglan's eyes widened, as if she was frightened by the content. She tore off the page and threw the booklet back to Li Fengyao.
"This one is enough."
After Li Fenglan finished speaking, she turned to leave, but after taking two steps she stopped and whispered to Jade: "Jade, I know you are in a mess now. It doesn't matter. You can think about it slowly. No matter what choice you made in the end, You will have a clear conscience, as you should."
After saying this, Li Fenglan walked towards the entrance of the cave, but as soon as she opened her legs, someone grabbed her arm.
She turned around and saw Jade staring at her, with tears in her eyes. The last time she was so sad was when Amber fell into a flash flood.
She wanted to call Li Fenglan her sister, and then ask her what she should do now. This was what a sister should do. But I couldn't say the word "sister", not to mention that now it seems... I am the older one.
Thousands of words came to my mouth and turned into one sentence: "Li Fenglan...how dare you leave?"
You haven't helped me make a choice yet, are you leaving now?
Seemingly seeing the helplessness in Jade's eyes, Li Fenglan nodded: "Jade, I understand."
Li Fenglan looked at Li Fengyao and said loudly: "You are not worthy of being Jade's mother. You only have revenge in your heart. Kill everyone, kill everyone who has anything to do with it. You are indeed the victim, but you also did something wrong. That one. Jade follows you and you will get nothing but pain. Jade!"
Jade asked: "What?"
"Follow me and help me solve the current trouble. You have to remember that I am the daughter of the Sword Immortal, and so are you!"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Regarding Feicui's answer, Li Fengyao just shrugged without saying anything and allowed Li Fenglan to take Feicui away.
The two of them were walking hand in hand in the dark cave. Jade suddenly shook off Li Fenglan's hand and asked loudly: "When did you know?!"
Li Fenglan replied: "Not long ago."
"How do you know?"
"Guess... Jade, it's actually not difficult to guess. Everyone in the valley doesn't hide it well. You have been taller than me since you were a child, and your personality is very similar to Li Fengyao. And as we all remember, my mother looked very similar when we were children. She looks good, but she slowly became what she is now, and she is nothing like the one in memory. Do you still remember that painting? The person on it is my mother, the person you have called "mother" for so many years. ...I am her biological daughter. There is no conspiracy here. A few months ago, I was just as suspicious of everyone as you are now. I can't figure out why they do this. "
"Then, why?"
"The Valley Master and the rest didn't believe Li Fengyao at that time, and were afraid that she would ask you to do something against your will in the future... You also know that Lao Mo has been on the high school since he was a child.
Growing up in an official family, I have a deep friendship with Guan Cheng, that is, your father. He didn't want anything to happen to you. It just so happened that I was about to be born at that time, so they came up with the idea of exchanging our identities since childhood so that we would have a choice... This was a bad idea. "
In the darkness, Li Fenglan couldn't see Jade's face clearly, but she could imagine Jade's expression and tears now.
Li Fenglan hugged Jade gently: "Unknowingly, you have become a key point for the three parties. You don't have to worry. If you don't know how to choose, I will help you choose."
After a long silence, Jade asked: "You just asked for information about the Bai family. There is indeed a conflict between you and Bai Shuyu."
"I can tell you everything now. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would be impulsive... Jade, Bai Shuyu will betray us in tomorrow's decisive battle. What he wants has never been revenge, but the Bai family's peaceful return to the world. I want to To achieve this goal, the Bai family cannot be too conspicuous. The previous attack on the Bai family was just a scene to make people in the world believe that the Bai family's strength was frustrated. Chen Zijue also had such a purpose. I don't know if the two of them have ever come into contact. , but they have reached a consensus. With Changfeng Tower and Thorn Gate present, the fighting will not stop until Yeyu Xiaozhu is destroyed. The Bai family does not want this... Bai Shuyu lied to you a lot. When we were in Yangzhou, I and I When he had a quarrel, he told you that I was unhappy only because he lied to me. In fact, it was not the case. At that time, I found out that I was not Li Fengyao's daughter, and Bai Shuyu deliberately didn't tell you. "
Jade's body trembled a little.
Li Fenglan continued: "I am not Bai Shuyu, and I will not be so ruthless to destroy them. Now I have something to restrict the Bai family. I can control him and stop him from the brink. Besides, Bai Shuyu should be the only one who can deal with our Changfeng Tower. Meaning, the other siblings of the Bai family probably don't know. Jade, time is running out now, we have to get started."
Jade suddenly calmed down and returned to her usual indifference and calmness: "I'll deal with the Bai family."
"No, you and Amber go find Master Shen to assist them. The Bai family asked me to come."
"Are you okay?"
"No, believe me. One more thing, your father and mother's feelings for you are true. The three of us are their daughters, so don't hate them."
"Will not."
The two sisters came out of the stone room. When Chen Yi saw the two coming out, he hurriedly greeted them, hugged Jade into his arms, and said "I'm sorry" over and over again.
Jade patted Chen Yan's back gently and whispered, "Mom, it's okay. I don't blame you."
Chen Yan looked at Jade's face with tears in her eyes: "I will always treat you as my daughter. No matter what happens, my mother will support you."
Jade nodded vigorously, and then she saw Chen Yan's face clearly, then turned to look at Li Fenglan's face, and said in surprise: "You... look so similar?"
Li Fenglan smiled and clapped her hands, and said to her family with a smile: "Okay, let's wait until the provocative words are over. It will be dawn in two hours, and we still have things to do. Dad, you go back to the city and follow me. Let's all meet up, everything goes as planned. Jade, Amber, you two go find Master Shen and assist them. Mother, you come with me."
…
Bai Shuyu sat on a big rock and kept shaking his legs, which was a sign of nervousness.
The eldest brothers Bai Boju and Chen Ling'er arrived in the afternoon, and the Bai family's manpower has been arranged.
Those dead warriors were scattered in this deep forest, and it looked like they were surrounding the Liuyang Sect. Of course, if you looked at it from another angle, they were also surrounding the Thorn Gate.
He knew that Li Fenglan and Feicui entered the forest, and now he was sitting at the exit, waiting for them to come out.
When he was approaching Yinshi, he saw two white figures, about the same height, both women.
He tapped his palms with the folding fan, stood up, and walked towards the two women.
Bai Shuyu was not surprised at all by their extremely similar faces, and bowed politely and calmly.
"Shu Yu has met Senior Sword Immortal."
Chen Yan didn't speak. Li Fenglan smiled at Bai Shuyu and said, "Have you made your decision?"
Bai Shuyu stood up straight: "Li Fenglan, I have left you a way out."
"I also left you a way out. If it weren't for the sake of Jade and Sister Bai, I would kill you now! Make your people be honest and obedient, and I will pretend that this never happened. As for whether Jade should be killed or not You, that’s a matter between the two of you.”
Bai Shuyu smiled: "Can you at least give me something to convince me?"
Li Fenglan took out the piece of paper torn from the booklet, slapped it in Bai Shuyu's arms, and said, "You can see for yourself. I told you first, even without this piece of paper, do you think your Bai family can treat me What's the threat? You can negotiate terms with Chen Zijue, but I can't do it? Are you trying to be clever? Mom, let's go."
The mother and daughter ignored Bai Shuyu and walked towards Luzhou City.
Bai Shuyu opened the white paper and read the words on it carefully. After a while, his hands began to tremble and his whole person looked depressed.
A dead soldier ran up to him and asked in a low voice: "Third Young Master, our people are all here. The eldest Young Master and Miss Ling'er have entered the city."
Bai Shuyu whispered: "Listen to my instructions, for now... hide it first."
"yes."
