Chapter 326 Cousin! ?

Chapter 326 Cousin! ?
"Dad, are you okay?"

Liu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Liu Zhaonian standing in front of her safe and sound, but she still couldn't help but ask this nonsense question.

Liu Zhaonian nodded, but his expression looked a little solemn.

He glanced at Chu Qing and others behind Liu Qingyan, and then saw Su Ningzhen.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Ning Zhen is here too?"

Suning really clasped his fists:
"Uncle Liu, long time no see."

Liu Zhaonian sighed:
"The matter of Xiangshanhai had already been resolved, but the sudden change happened too quickly, and Tianyin Mansion has no time to take care of it for the time being. Otherwise, I would definitely give you justice."

When Liu Zhaonian mentioned this, Su Ningzhen's eyes turned red:
"Uncle Liu... is thoughtful."

When Xiang Shanhai got into trouble, she was driven out of Yaotai Sect by He Qiangu. In a short period of time, she truly realized how fickle the world is.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyan did not care about her safety regardless of the past grudges, and Liu Zhaonian did not turn a blind eye to Xiang Shanhai's affairs. Instead, he secretly investigated and wanted to seek justice for himself.

When I thought about how I had distanced myself from Liu Qingyan because of someone like He Qiangu... I felt extremely guilty.

At this time, Liu Zhaonian looked at Chu Qing and others again, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Yan'er, who are these people?"

Liu Qingyan glanced at Chu Qing and said to Liu Zhaonian:

“I don’t know the true identities of these people, but they are highly skilled in martial arts and are keen on serving the public.

“If it weren’t for them at the meeting in Xiaohan Valley, I would have had a hard time escaping.

“I owe them a lot of favors… I promised to let grandma heal their injuries with the [Tian Xin Wan An Qu].

"In addition, they should have a lot of connections with us. This Third Master Han said he wanted to send a letter to Dad..."

Chu Qing's identity had always been concealed from her, so when Liu Zhaonian asked, Liu Qingyan told him everything in detail.

I just want Chu Qing to reveal his identity quickly.

Liu Zhaonian was indeed stunned when he heard this:
"There is such a thing...but I don't know who wrote the letter to me?"

Then Liu Qingyan discovered that Chu Qing's face rarely showed a somewhat uncomfortable expression:

"This is not the place to talk. Can we move over and talk?"

Liu Zhaonian then hurriedly said:
"It's my fault. Yan'er has been away from home for a long time, and Tianyin Mansion is in the center of the storm. I was worried about her safety, and I failed to show hospitality.

"Everyone, please follow me."

After saying this, he led everyone into Tianyin Mansion.

As you enter, you can hear the sound of bells, which are wind chimes hanging in the corridors, door beams, and under the eaves.

A gust of wind came, and the five tones and seven rhythms overlapped and intertwined, which was very beautiful.

Chu Qing raised his eyes and took a look, then heard Liu Qingyan say:
"This is the 'Nine Transformations of Heavenly Sound Formation' of my Heavenly Sound Palace. The location of each wind chime was not chosen randomly, but deliberately.

“If an external enemy attacks, we can have disciples dispersed to various places to preside over this formation, using sound as a symbol to deploy the formation.

"Let those who come to attack fall into the endless sound of heaven, and thus face the dilemma of life and death."

Chu Qing was nodding and praising the wonders of the 'Nine Revolutions of Heavenly Sound Formation' in Tianyin Mansion, but Liu Zhaonian was a little surprised.

Liu Qingyan's description of Chu Qing and others was somewhat vague, and mixed with a bit of resentment.

Although others couldn't hear it, Liu Zhaonian heard it clearly.

I thought the relationship between them was not that close...but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, my daughter directly exposed the main formation of Tianyin Mansion.

Is this relationship...good or bad?
Occasionally, I turned around to look at Chu Qing, but I always felt that this person seemed indescribably familiar.

But I can't tell where this familiar feeling comes from.

It seemed like an old friend, yet somewhat elusive.

Moreover, I don’t know why, but I felt that this person was pleasing to the eye when I saw him for the first time.

For a moment, I didn't know whether it was because Chu Qing was born with a kind of affinity, or if there was really some connection between the two of them?
Tianyin Mansion is very large. At first you can hear the sound of wind chimes, and as you go further in you can hear the sounds of various musical instruments.

He is a disciple who practices in the mansion.

Chu Qing glanced at these people, and then fell on Liu Zhaonian:
"Master Liu, it seems that Tianyin Mansion has found a way to save itself now?"

Liu Zhaonian smiled bitterly upon hearing this:
“I’m sorry to have embarrassed you, little brother. I can’t tell you how to save myself, but someone did go to investigate. I hope I can prove it myself if I have a chance.

"But before that, we have to do what needs to be done... We must not fall behind in our daily morning and evening homework."

"He went to investigate...did he go to the Duan clan's land?"

Chu Qing frowned slightly:

"That land may be a bit dangerous now."

Liu Zhaonian looked back at Chu Qing and nodded:

“It is indeed dangerous, but the person who went to investigate is the top-ranked master of our Tianyin Mansion.

"I think even if I don't gain anything, I can still come and go freely."

"Oh?"

To be able to receive Liu Zhaonian's affirmation, the person who went to investigate the Duan family must be indeed extraordinary.

However, he did not ask in detail. Since his identity had not been revealed yet, it would be bad to delve too deeply into the matter.

There was no conversation along the way, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the main hall of Tianyin Palace, the Five Sounds Hall!

The hall was empty. Liu Zhaonian stepped in, came to the top seat and sat down, and asked everyone present to take their seats.

Liu Zhaonian then asked:
"I wonder if you could fetch the letter now so I can take a look at it?"

Chu Qing looked around and smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid I have to make another unreasonable request."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Can you screen the left and right?"

Chu Qing raised his eyes.

Liu Zhaonian couldn't help but glance at Liu Qingyan, and saw that Liu Qingyan also raised her eyebrows:
"Why are you so secretive?"

"The stakes are high."

Chu Qing said seriously:

“Many people’s lives and property are involved, so I cannot afford to be careless.

"Please forgive me."

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded to Liu Zhaonian.

Liu Zhaonian found it a little funny and waved his hand, and the servants around him left one after another.

Chu Qing glanced at Su Ningzhen:
"You go out too."

Without saying a word, Su Ningzhen bowed to Liu Zhaonian and retreated outside the Wuyin Hall.

Liu Zhaonian was a little surprised again. Although Suning was not arrogant because of his talent, he also had his own pride and self-esteem.

Chu Qing spoke to her so rudely. If it were in the past, she would have been stern and cold to him. But now she is so obedient?
At this time, Chu Qing set his sights on Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan almost laughed out of anger:

"I have to go too?"

"That's all."

Chu Qing sighed:

"Just stay here... I guess I can't hide it from you anyway."

After saying this, he stood up and took out a letter from his arms.

The letter was wrinkled, and no one knew how long it had been kept. There was no text on the cover, and no details could be seen. Liu Qingyan knew that the secret of Chu Qing's identity must be hidden in this letter, so she wanted to get it, but she saw Chu Qing shaking his hand, and the letter flew straight to Liu Zhaonian.

Liu Zhaonian narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, took the letter in his palm, and did not forget to exclaim:
"Good work."

Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes, thinking that it was not just about having good kung fu… After witnessing Chu Qing break into the Liexing Mansion as if he were in an empty space, Liu Qingyan had a vague idea of ​​how good Chu Qing’s martial arts were.

At this age, to have such martial arts skills, Liu Qingyan didn't know how to describe Chu Qing except the four words "contemporary genius".

However, her main concern at this time was not Chu Qing's martial arts, but the letter that Chu Qing sent to her mysteriously.

She happened to be standing next to Liu Zhaonian, and watched Liu Zhaonian carefully check the letter in front of everyone. After making sure there was no problem, he tore off the sealing wax, took out the letter inside and slowly unfolded it.

Liu Qingyan only had time to see the six large characters at the beginning of the article: [Dedicated to my brother Zhaonian].

He noticed that Liu Zhaonian's breathing suddenly became rapid, and then he stood up with a whoosh, turned his back to Liu Qingyan, and started looking at it himself.

Liu Qingyan was scratching her head anxiously. What mysterious things were written in this letter?
Why did my dad become possessed after seeing it?
However, she was not tall enough and could not read the contents of the letter even when she stood on tiptoe, so she pouted in anger.

Looking at Chu Qing and others again, just when I was about to feel depressed, I saw Chu Qing groping his face at this time.

Then she watched as Chu Qing tore off a piece of skin from her face.

"Oh, I'm going!"

Liu Qingyan blurted out.

It wasn't that she lacked self-control, she was simply too shocked.

She had always known that Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou had disguises on their faces. After all, the truth was revealed as soon as these two girls opened their mouths.

But she didn't expect that not only Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou had changed their appearance, but Chu Qing's face had also changed.

They have been together for such a long time, but she didn't notice any clues at all!
This is simply off the mark!
And looking at Chu Qing's disguised face again, he was even more dumbfounded.

I saw that the face had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his features were handsome and tough, but his skin was as white as a girl's, which made his overall appearance even better.

"You are so beautiful?"

Liu Qingyan widened her eyes:

"Can I pinch your face?"

"cannot!"

Wu Qianhuan quickly helped Chu Qing to refuse:

“I haven’t even pinched it.”

Liu Qingyan was speechless for a moment and felt quite regretful.

When he turned around again, he saw Liu Zhaonian looking at Chu Qing steadily, with mixed emotions on his face, and all the previous alienation had disappeared.

Instead, there was intimacy and excitement.

He looked at Chu Qing, especially at his face, and sighed for a while:
"You've grown up... I still remember when you were born, you were just a small pink ball.

"Now he has grown tall and handsome."

"You... have seen me?"

Chu Qing was a little surprised. He thought that no one from the Liu family had ever been to Tianwu City.

But Liu Zhaonian's words clearly meant that he had seen himself when he was born.

"I've seen it."

Liu Zhaonian slowly walked down from the high seat and walked in front of Chu Qing step by step:
“But it’s been almost twenty years… At that time, your grandfather was seriously ill and on the verge of death. Before he died, he just wanted to see your mother.

"However, the Nanling Mountains and the north of the Ling Mountains are separated by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and before the letter could be delivered, the person would be gone.

“I can only rush to Nanling and head to Tianwu City myself.

"I didn't expect that your mother had just given birth to you...

"At that time, I didn't want to force it. After all, she had just gone through the pain of childbirth, so how could she travel through mountains and rivers?
"But when your mother heard that your grandfather was about to pass away, she didn't care about anything else and gritted her teeth and came back to Lingbei with me...

“But even so, it’s still a step too late.

"This has become the biggest regret in our lives."

Chu Qing was stunned. He had never seen his mother since he was a child.

He asked Chu Yunfei, but Chu Yunfei told him that his mother was ill and passed away shortly after he was born.

But now, hearing what Liu Zhaonian said, didn’t my mother pass away, but... returned to Tianyin Mansion?

On the other side, Liu Qingyan, who had been scratching her ears and cheeks, almost dropped her jaw when she heard Liu Zhaonian say this.

It was Wu Qianhuan who reminded her:

"Mouth, keep your mouth shut."

Liu Qingyan suddenly realized and quickly closed her jaw.

But my head is still buzzing.

My biological father's sister is my aunt.

My aunt's son is the mysterious Han San in front of me...

In other words, this guy is my cousin! ?

The man who, in the midst of laughter and conversation, easily captured Han Qiuyuan and Han Qiuze, masters whom he himself could hardly contend with, and killed them without warning was his own cousin?
The one who barged into Liexing City and entered Liexing Mansion as if he was in an empty place was also his cousin?

He chopped off all the White Tiger Seven Stars with a long sword, just like chopping vegetables with his hips split open... and he was his cousin! ?
The evildoer whom he believed to be a genius of the time, turned out to be his own blood relative! ?

The more Liu Qingyan thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to her. Moreover, the more she looked at Chu Qing, the more she wanted to pinch Chu Qing's face... She didn't know why, but she just had the urge to pinch him!

Chu Qing seemed to come back to his senses at this moment, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed:
"Nephew Chu Qing, meet your uncle."

Your mother’s uncle is your most important relative, so when you see him you should pay your respects to him with great respect.

Liu Zhaonian took a step forward and stopped him:

“Good boy…no need to be polite.

"You, how have you been these years?

"How does Chu Yunfei treat you three brothers?"

"I……"

Chu Qing's lips moved, but he didn't mention that he ran away from home when he was young. He just nodded:

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, uncle.

"It's just that my mother... is she still alive now?"

If it weren't for Liu Zhaonian's words, Chu Qing would not have dared to ask such a question.

Even now, when this question was asked, he was still quite nervous, not knowing what kind of answer he would get.

Liu Zhaonian looked at the expression on his face and nodded:
"exist."

A complex expression appeared on Chu Qing's face:

"Then why doesn't she go back?"

By now, the memories of the two lives have long been indistinguishable, and Chu Qing can empathize with all the emotions.

Knowing that my mother is still alive, but has not been home for twenty years, I can't help feeling a little aggrieved.

"This matter is a long story..."

Liu Zhaonian sighed:
"It's not that your mother doesn't want to go back, but she has no choice."
