Chapter 334 Recognition

Chapter 334 Recognition
Chu Qing had already mentioned it to him when he just returned to Tianyin Mansion.

There is something very problematic about Ning Wufang.

His martial arts were concealed, and when he fell into Chu Qing's hands, it seemed that Chu Qing forced him to stay, but in fact, he just went with the flow.

However, it seems a bit hasty to conclude Ning Wufang's identity based on this alone.

You Zong raised his concerns.

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"So, we have to give him a chance."

After saying that, he looked up at Liu Zhaonian:
"Let's do a scene."

Liu Zhaonian seemed to be thinking about something, and finally nodded deeply:
"Okay, everything is up to you."

……

……

The discussion in Wuyin Hall lasted for an entire afternoon.

In the evening, Liu Zhaonian held a small banquet. After all, it was an extraordinary period, so it was not appropriate to hold a grand banquet.

There was no conversation during the banquet. After it ended, Chu Qing returned to his room.

He poured himself a cup of tea and just took a sip when he fell into silence.

Finally, he opened another cup and poured himself a glass.

There was a knock on the door at this moment.

Chu Qing turned up his sleeves and waved them gently, and with a creaking sound, the door opened.

Liu Zhaohua stood outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Chu Qing stretches out her arms to lead:

"please."

Liu Zhaohua sat down as he was told.

Then Chu Qing asked:
"How's the injury?"

"……fine."

Liu Zhaohua glanced at Chu Qing and saw that he looked indifferent, but he felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart.

In the past few days, when she rushed back to Tianyin Mansion from Yecaopao, she wanted to find Chu Qing to ask for clarification more than once...but Chu Qing either changed the subject in a few words, or interrupted her with other things.

The truth you want is always just one step away from you.

Now that she had returned to Tianyin Mansion, she could no longer endure it, so she asked directly:
"You...you said earlier that you were the third, and You Zong called you the Third Young Master.

"Then what's your real name?"

Chu Qing smiled dumbly upon hearing this:
"Haven't you guessed it?"

"...I want to hear it from your own mouth."

Liu Zhaohua doesn't like this kind of vagueness, she always likes to be straightforward.

Chu Qing raised his eyes and met her gaze, then slowly spoke:
"My name is Chu Qing."

I have turned this answer over in my mind hundreds, thousands of times.

But when Chu Qing actually said these two words, Liu Zhaohua's eyes were still red.

She looked at the young man in front of her, who had an indifferent expression and gave off an extraordinary temperament even when he was just sitting here drinking tea. She could not associate him with the chubby, wrinkled little baby.

But she did not doubt it. Deep down in her heart, she had confirmed this answer thousands of times. How could she doubt it?
Her lips moved:
"Then do you know... do you know who I am?"

"know."

Chu Qing said:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have appeared in Tianyin Mansion, let alone come to save you."

The answer is so obvious...

But the more this happened, the more complicated emotions Liu Zhaohua felt.

Among these complex emotions, the most prominent one is not the guilt of being separated from his son for 20 years, but anger:
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!?
"What are you..."

Before she could finish her words, Chu Qing spoke again:
"I'm being hunted. You Zong is an outsider after all. I can't reveal my identity."

With just one sentence, Liu Zhaohua's anger was instantly extinguished.

But then the anger returned... If the previous anger towards Chu Qing was just a spark, the anger now has spread like wildfire:
"who!?"

As soon as the word was uttered, the teacup began to vibrate and was about to break.

Chu Qing put his hand on the table and sighed softly:

"Calm down and don't get excited."

"How can I not be excited? If anyone dares to hurt my son, I will kill his entire family!!"

Liu Zhaohua's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. No matter how good Chu Qing's martial arts were, at this moment he was just the little kid in his impression.

Even if she risked her life, she would never allow anyone to touch him.

But now, someone actually dares to hunt him down?
Needless to say, the anger towards those who were chasing Chu Qing was also directed at Chu Yunfei:
"Where's your father? Is he dead? His son is being hunted, why is there no movement from him?"

Chu Qing looked at the furious Liu Zhaohua in front of him, and felt strange in his heart.

But I suddenly understood... Second brother Chu Fan's temper is probably most like hers, right?

He is straightforward and will punch anyone he doesn't like.

Whenever it comes to relatives, no one is given face.

As he thought about it, Chu Qing suddenly laughed.

Liu Zhaohua was angry when he suddenly heard his son's laughter. He was slightly stunned and slowly became a little silent.

She frowned, then put on a dignified expression:
"Mother is not like this usually..."

She said this as calmly as possible, but when she called herself "mother", Chu Qing still heard the tremor in her voice.

Chu Qing actually knew...she was also nervous.

Otherwise, even if Chu Qing wanted to change the topic these days, how could he really avoid it?

It’s just that Liu Zhaohua didn’t know whether his son, whom he had neglected since birth after being separated for 20 years, would blame him.
Will he...disown this mother?!

Chu Qing's hand groped his cheek twice, then pulled off a layer of skin. In the blink of an eye, a piece of painted skin was taken off his face.

Liu Zhaohua's eyes suddenly widened.

But after seeing Chu Qing's true appearance, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was absolutely certain that Chu Qing was his son, especially since Chu Qing himself had admitted it... it was impossible for him to say that he didn't care at all about his son's appearance.

She could never have imagined that the child who was wrinkled but so adorable back then had grown up to be so rough.

Did you eat something you shouldn’t have during the growth process?
Or did Chu Yunfeijing make the child suffer?

It was not until Chu Qing took off the painted skin that she found her own shadow on Chu Qing's face.

The tears I shed before were real, and the inability to help but smile at the corners of my mouth now is also real.

She couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to stand up, but Chu Qing got there before her.

Walking up to her and kneeling down, Chu Qing spoke softly:
"Son Chu Qing, I greet my mother.

"You have suffered in the past twenty years..."

Liu Zhaohua felt like he was probably crazy. His emotions today were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and he couldn't control them at all.

Crying, laughing, crying again...

She pulled Chu Qing over with trembling hands:

"Let mother take a good look at my child...my child is the one who is suffering.

"Since you were young, your mother has not been by your side.

"I have never seen you take your first steps, I have never seen you learn to speak... It is my fault. If I had worked hard when I was young, how could I have been stopped by Gongsun Zongheng in Tianyin Mansion for twenty years?

"My child... has never had a mother to protect him since he was young... but has he been bullied by others?

"My poor child..."

The more she spoke, the more heartbroken she felt. She cried until she was out of breath. Chu Qing's eyes were red from her crying, and he gently patted her back:
"What did mother say?

"The child... is the third young master of the Chu family.

"Looking at this small piece of land in Tianwu City, who dares to bully me?

"The only person who can bully me is my future wife..."

"A daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family?"

Liu Zhaohua was stunned:
"Which family is this girl from?"

"Wu Qianhuan, the daughter of Wu Ganqi, the Lord of Tianwu City, also came to Tianyin Mansion this time. You saw her at the banquet just now, but her face was disguised and she didn't speak, so you didn't know."

"One of the two with you?"

Liu Zhaohua remembered that Chu Qing was accompanied by two men with rough faces.

At first she began to doubt whether these two were Chu Tian and Chu Fan... but no matter how she looked at them, they didn't look alike.

Especially Wenrou...she is less than 1.5 meters tall. No matter whether it is Chu Tian or Chu Fan, unless one of their legs was chopped off, how could they be so tall?
Then he hurriedly asked:
"The tall one, or the short one?"

"The tall one."

Chu Qing said softly:

"It's getting late today. I'll ask her to restore her original appearance and come see you tomorrow."

"Okay, that would be great."

Liu Zhaohua was immediately overjoyed.

It was as if the person who was crying and speechless just now was not her...

Chu Qing felt a little amused when he saw her like this.

It's not easy to be so straightforward at this age.

But I didn't know that Liu Zhaohua had this kind of personality all his life...

She was born to be the little princess of Tianyin Mansion, loved by everyone.

Having been loved by his parents and doted on by his elder brother since childhood, he naturally developed a straightforward character.

If not for this, she would not have been so willful as to follow Chu Yunfei to Nanling.

If she had had more concerns, she would not have suffered the regret of not being able to see her father for the last time.

Liu Zhaohua has often reflected on the past twenty years. If he had not been so direct in the past, but had thought of other ways to let his parents see more of Chu Yunfei's good points, perhaps things would not have become so chaotic.

However, there is no regret medicine in life, and it is difficult to go back and do it again after what has happened.

It takes time to develop a character...

If it really can't be changed, then this is the only option.

At this moment she suddenly asked:
"The tall one is Wu Ganqi's daughter, and what about the short one? I guess he's not a man either, right?"

"Ah."

Chu Qing nodded:

"She is the daughter of Wen Fusheng from Luochen Villa, the eldest lady of Luochen Villa."

Liu Zhaohua glanced at it thoughtfully:
"She...is she in love with you?"

"That's not true..."

Chu Qing said softly:

“This girl’s situation is a bit complicated and involves her own secrets, so I can’t tell you.

"However, this girl is very different from ordinary people. She doesn't know what love is, so naturally she doesn't have the concept of being in love...

"Speaking of which, I have one more thing I want to ask mother."

"You said, I will tell you everything that mother knows. If you don't know, I will let your uncle check it out."

Liu Zhaohua said this, and then said seriously:
"And who was so bold as to chase you down before?!"

"Let's talk about them one by one."

Chu Qing simply sat next to Liu Zhaohua:

"Mother, have you ever heard of Tianfo Temple?"

"Tianfo Temple..."

Liu Zhaohua frowned slightly:
“I have heard that it is a Buddhist country on earth. If you don’t have wisdom, it is difficult to see the Tianfo Temple even if it is right in front of you.

“It’s so miraculous…even more miraculous than the Wanbao Tower.

"But there are people who have seen Wanbao Tower. As for Tianfo Temple, even though there are legends about it, no one has ever seen it."

Chu Qing knew Wanbao Tower.

It is known as the world's number one gold-consuming den. It is hard to say who the specific owner behind it is, but judging from the word "Wanbao", it is closely related to Wanbao Money House.

It is said that if you are lucky enough to step into Wanbao Tower, there is nothing you cannot buy as long as you have money.

Treasures, secret books, beauties, masters... whatever you want, Wanbaolou can provide it.

However, this building does not appear in a fixed place, but runs around freely throughout the world.

It was an empty lot during the day, but a treasured tower suddenly appeared at night.

After three or five days, the treasure house was dismantled and the people inside went their separate ways, as if everything was just a dream.

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"After the crisis in Tianyin Mansion is over, let my uncle help me check the Tianfo Temple. I have to go to the Tianfo Temple for some matters."

"If there is any news, mother will go with you."

Liu Zhaohua said hurriedly that she really didn't want to be separated from her son whom she had finally seen.

Chu Qing smiled:
"Mother... after the matter at Tianyin Mansion is over, you should also go to Nanling.

“You Zong has problems with his legs, so it’s a good opportunity for you to take your people back to Nanling and send him to the miracle doctor I know.

"My father has never remarried in the past twenty years... It's obvious that he has you in his heart."

After hearing Chu Qing say this, Liu Zhaohua remembered that she still had a husband.

She was slightly touched, but also a little worried:

"then you?"

"With my martial arts skills, who can hurt me?"

"Then you are still being hunted?"

Liu Zhaohua finally brought the topic back.

Chu Qing smacked his lips:

"This matter is a long story..."

"Then just speak slowly."

Liu Zhaohua said:
"Mother has plenty of time now."

"..."

Just as Chu Qing was telling Liu Zhaohua about his grudge with Nie Jingtai, Ning Wufang, who was lying limply on the side in the dungeon of Tianyin Mansion, suddenly opened his eyes.

He first glanced at the young leader of the Tianxie Cult who was dying in the cell next door, and his life was worse than death.

In the past two days, Chu Qing used many tricks on him, trying to force him to reveal the secrets he knew.

However, what this young general knew was very limited. He only knew that the three holy kings, namely Lord Tomb, Lord Chess and Lord Plum, were now trapping the Ghost Emperor.

I don't know much about other things.

Ning Wufang approached the young general and kicked him lightly twice.

The young general opened his eyes and heard Ning Wufang frowning slightly:
"Next time if you encounter such an expert, could you please not send this fire message?

"Why would you just die yourself? Why would you drag someone else down with you?"

As he was speaking, there was a click and his shackles were quietly opened.
