Chapter 649: Abandoned Son - Hegemony (13)
The new grave was built, and Chan Yi knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Although we don't have a mother-daughter relationship, you endured the pain of pregnancy for ten months to give birth to me. Thank you. I hope you can go in peace and be a good person in your next life. Don't live as absurdly as you did in this life."
Seeing Chan Yi picking up his sword and about to leave, Wu Wang stopped him and asked, "Chan Yi, where are you going?"
"Master, although you are my master, you treat me like your own daughter. I remember all your kindness over the years. But now my mind is in a mess. Staying with you will only cause more troubles. I'd better go out alone."
"You want to leave me?"
"I will come back to see you if I have the chance. I have been staying in that nunnery for thirteen years. I don't know what the world outside is like..."
"Okay, Master will wait for you to come back."
"Thank you, master."
Chan Yi hugged Wu Wang, stared at Ke Tu and said, "Master is very concerned about you. Whether you recognize her or not, I will recognize her."
After saying that, Ke Tu saw Chan Yi walking away in the bamboo forest, as graceful as a startled swan. He was also amazed at the speed of her lightness skills.
"Let's go, there must be a lot for you and me to talk about."
Ketu took a look at the two new graves, then followed Wuwang and left to a remote yard.
"Xiao Tu, the last time I saw you, your Qinggong was extremely fast. Why is your strength so much weaker this time? What trouble did you encounter?"
Thinking of an old friend, Ke Tu felt regretful and said, "Aunt Huahua, I have run into trouble. I can no longer practice the peerless magic skills I have been practicing, but fortunately, the ability to increase the speed of practice is still there."
"Why is this happening? You are starting over again. Mother has a martial arts secret manual passed down from our ancestors, but I am afraid you can't bear this hardship."
"What merit?"
"Iron Cold Palm!"
Hearing these four words, Ketu asked excitedly: "Are you serious?"
"Mother won't lie to you, but you must tell me who wiped out your martial arts skills and who you have such a deep hatred for."
"I... was a confused child, misled by the wicked, and killed someone I shouldn't have killed."
"Killing someone who shouldn't be killed? How many people in this world are stronger than you? Since the other party is a capable person, you can just tie him up with the appropriate method. Isn't it a pity to kill him?"
"What a pity, what a pity!" Ke Tu recalled some past events, his eyes soured, and he couldn't help asking: "Aunt Huahua, do you know the little girl that Granny Baicao adopted before?"
"Yes, didn't you ask her to come to my place to get something?"
"Yes, I want to ask other things about her, such as her background."
Wu Wang poured tea while saying, "My mother is friends with Granny Baicao. Xiaoxi is an abandoned baby that I and Junior Sister Baicao rescued from a peasant woman during our training. She doesn't have any complicated background."
"Mother, please tell me!"
"The day before we returned to our sect, we saw a peasant woman preparing to throw a baby into a wooden basin and let it float down the river, leaving it to die. Junior Sister Baicao felt sorry for the child and adopted her."
"Is that woman ordinary?"
"She was wearing tattered clothes and looked pale. When asked why she abandoned the child, she said that the child's father was a scholar who married a rich girl after graduating from high school and sent people to hunt her down."
Wuwangjian Ketu didn't quite believe it and continued, "I was also suspicious at first, but because we felt sorry for the woman, we followed her home. Before we even got home, we heard that the woman's parents-in-law were planning to burn the mother and daughter to death. How vicious they were."
"I never thought there would be such a cruel person in this world. Is that man still alive?"
"When I was young, I was most angry at people like this, so I went to Wucheng alone to seek justice from the man, but he remarried and had a happy family. I was so angry that I broke three of his fingers, but I was also hunted down for a long time."
Ketu felt that his stepmother was meddling in other people's affairs, but the grudge had a beginning and an end, but the person was no longer with him.
"By the way, you are still on the march, why are you here alone?"
"Mother, the child was lured here by someone, and the military is unknown."
"You are really confused. Now that you, the commander of the army, have escaped, what will happen to the lives of those soldiers?"
"Now that I have lost my martial arts skills, how can I lead them to fight in the army?"
"Wudu is the place where you were born and raised. If your father had not suffered so much, the whole world would have been named Wu by now. Now that you have lost your martial arts, the lives of those soldiers are in jeopardy!"
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have recognized a thief as my father."
"Forget it, go and deal with those troubles first. Since you have called me mother, I will protect you even if it costs me my life."
Ketu felt his eyes sore. This was the second time he heard someone promise him this, but that person was no longer around.
"Okay, I'll make it clear, stop being obsessed with that bloody seat, and live a good life."
"Go ahead, don't make the same mistake again."
After seeing Ketu leave, Wuwang felt that the yard was empty. At least she had Chan Yi with her in the past, but now Chan Yi was missing and she didn't know when she would see him again.
She glanced at the portrait of a man by the windowsill, and her memory went back to a month ago.
One month ago...
There is a ruined temple on the mountain, and in front of the temple there is a pine tree that is as big as two arms. In front of the pine tree there is a woman in black wearing a black hat and a black fang mask, holding a sword in front of the temple gate.
The woman kicked open the already dilapidated door, causing dust to rise. She looked directly at a wing room and walked away.
"Who trespassed into my temple?"
"Master Hua, when you were young you were a famous knight in the martial arts world. Now you live in a small house while others are enjoying love and happiness. Do you regret it?"
"Who are you? My territory is not a place for you to act wildly." Wu Wang pointed at the woman in black and saw that her belly was slightly bulging.
"Of course I dare not act wildly, I just want to remind you: How can you survive alone when your enemies are still here?"
"Heh, another person who uses a knife to kill someone. I won't do such a stupid thing."
"Monks don't tell lies. I'm just reminding you. A few months ago, I passed by a courtyard. That courtyard was very strange. There was no male owner, but the two women were quite affectionate. I didn't expect that there are such unique women in this world."
Wu Wang was attracted by this sentence. Holding the agarwood beads in his hand, he said, "Maybe it's the love between sisters. Why does it look so dirty in your eyes?"
"Whether I am dirty or not is hard to say. The two women are named Tu Fangfei and Xiao Sanniang. They have lived there for many years. The neighbors also say so."
"How do I know if you're talking nonsense?"
"Master, if you don't believe me, that's your own business. I'm just a messenger. After all, it's understandable to have an extra ally for the same enemy. If there is none, then someone will fight alone and take revenge."
"I'm not in the mood."
"You will be interested. If you are not interested, forget it. I will just inform you."
