Chapter 1373 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
Xu Shan thought these rumors weren't necessarily a bad thing; now that no one was looking for him and his daughter, their journey was much quieter.
Another ten days passed, and Azhen followed Xu Shan to Jiangnan. Xu Shan had a good friend there, who was an official in the imperial court.
Xu Shan originally wanted to go directly to their door, but Azhen stopped him: "Father, we've been having such a peaceful time lately. If you go there, you'll expose our whereabouts. It's okay that Mother and the others are here, but if they weren't, we'd probably be facing another ambush."
Xu Shan, who had been looking forward to meeting his long-lost friend, paused in his tracks upon hearing Azhen's words. Azhen'er's words made sense.
Once the storm has passed, there will be plenty of time to catch up. For now, it's best not to reveal your identity.
So, Xu Shan, along with Azhen, decided to secretly observe whether Yi Xiaolan had come here.
Two days later, after confirming that there was no trace of Yi Xiaolan, the father and daughter left without hesitation.
"Jiangnan doesn't seem to be peaceful either." Xu Shan, who was driving the carriage, said to Azhen beside him. His friend, who was an official, had been extremely busy lately. Even from a distance, you could see that there were dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a proper rest for a long time. "I heard that a mysterious organization has wiped out entire families. The families that were wiped out were all those who had good weapons. It seems that the people in those mysterious organizations are convinced that the secret of the Heavenly Questions is hidden in various weapons."
"Who told them that the Heavenly Questionnaire was originally found on a divine weapon?" Azhen replied. "Besides that, they couldn't think of anywhere else to look for it."
"What's so good about Tianwenjue? It's harmed so many people." Xu Shan was somewhat indignant when he mentioned this.
Azhen continued, "A good person like Father would naturally not become despicable for the sake of profit. It's incomprehensible. If everyone in the martial arts world were like Father, there would probably be no fighting and killing. At most, people would exchange martial arts skills in a friendly manner."
Xu Shan, aside from practicing martial arts and caring about the people around him, really doesn't have many desires.
He lives a carefree life thanks to the wealth accumulated by his ancestors, so he doesn't have to worry about making a living. But it is also this ancestral wealth that has brought him this trouble.
Xu Shan was no simple child; he was almost thirty years old and naturally knew that money could move people's hearts. For that enormous wealth, unparalleled martial arts, and the secret of immortality, countless people would turn into monsters.
"I wonder how your mother is doing lately. Where did she go? It's really hard to find out anything about them." Xu Shan thought of his wife again, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
Azhen sneered inwardly, thinking that Yi Xiaolan was doing quite well.
The inability to obtain any information was undoubtedly due to the exceptional skill of her escorts, who had meticulously concealed her and Chu Yanzhi's identities to avoid trouble. If they didn't want anyone to know, they wouldn't let anyone know. Of course, if Yi Xiaolan were to cause trouble, it would likely be difficult for Yan Rugo to keep their whereabouts secret.
Now, Yi Xiaolan's life is much more comfortable than that of her father and daughter.
"Father, if we encounter danger again, you should listen less to Mother about whether or not to kill someone." Seeing that the time was right, A-Zhen brought up the matter, which was also what the client was thinking.
She didn't know if, in his final days, Xu Shan regretted being betrayed and losing his chance at life because of Yi Xiaolan's words.
If Xu Shan knew what happened to his client later, given how much he loved his daughter, he would definitely regret showing mercy back then.
In reality, the client hated Yi Xiaolan's mother and wished he could kill her.
She hated everyone who coveted the Heavenly Questionnaire; she wanted to kill anyone who wanted it. After Xu Shan's accident, she had only one thought: to find her enemies and kill them.
Before this, she wanted to become stronger, by any means necessary, which made her personality increasingly extreme. With a mother like Yi Xiaolan, she was even more willful and capricious, making her unlikable.
Upon encountering a dispute in the martial arts world over matters related to the Heavenly Questionnaire, she rushed in and slashed both sides, scattering them in terror. Those unaware of the situation thought she was a psychopath, showing signs of developing into a female demon.
Later, she really did become a female demon in the eyes of many people.
Xu Shan fell silent. In truth, at this critical moment, he also felt some regret. The people from the mysterious organization were clearly ruthless, not only demanding a divine intervention but also denying him any chance of survival. Even if he didn't want to displease his wife, if he were ambushed because of this, wouldn't he really be dead? Between his own life and not killing, he believed his wife would care more about his life.
“Father, you’re not going to hesitate about this too, are you? You almost lost your life because of what Mother said, and I almost lost my father too. I’m just a seven-year-old girl. If I lose my father, and I’m your daughter, what if the mysterious organization behind me doesn’t understand the secret of the Heavenly Blade? Do you think they’ll come after me?” A-Zhen said.
These are not figments of the imagination, but actual events.
Xu Shan had played a trick and didn't bring the Heaven-Asking Blade with him, and the mysterious organization only realized something was wrong much later.
Yi Xiaolan was unaware that Xu Shan had hidden the Heaven-Asking Blade; only the client knew.
Yi Xiaolan was truly uninterested in anything in the martial arts world and only wanted to live a peaceful life. Xu Shan's death had actually dealt her a blow, and she had no interest in anything else.
The client wanted to hide the knife, but it was quite large and there was no way to conceal it; Yi Xiaolan found out anyway.
Xu Shan's death made Yi Xiaolan feel that this knife was a curse, and that keeping it in her hands would mean she would never have a peaceful life.
So she tried to persuade the client to find a way to move the Heavenly Blade elsewhere, and let whoever wanted to take it go ahead.
The client refused to comply, leading to a major argument between the mother and daughter.
It was only after Yan Rugo found out that she said they should stay at the Yan family's residence for the time being, so that even if others knew about the Heavenly Blade, they wouldn't dare to come and snatch it.
Later, Yi Xiaolan remarried and went to Peach Blossom Manor, becoming the mistress of Peach Blossom Manor.
She had originally planned to take her daughter and disciple with her. Shen Linsu, the master of Peach Blossom Manor, was one of the top martial arts masters in the world, and Peach Blossom Manor was also very powerful. They should be able to protect the Heaven-Asking Blade. Rather than letting the Heaven-Asking Blade fall into the hands of others, it would be better to let her new husband keep it.
However, the client harbored resentment towards Yi Xiaolan and was even less friendly towards Shen Linsu, who wanted to take her father's weapon. He refused to go to Peach Blossom Manor no matter what.
In the end, the furious Yi Xiaolan only took Chu Yanzhi to Peach Blossom Manor, while the client remained at the Yan family.
Yan Rugo said he was a good friend of her father, and since she didn't want to go to Peach Blossom Manor and wanted to stay in the Yan family, he would take good care of her. As for the Heaven-Asking Blade, she could keep it herself if she wanted, but since her martial arts were still weak, it shouldn't be a big problem if she didn't take it with her.
And so, the client continued to live in the Yan family.
“In the future, when we encounter such danger, your father won’t just listen to your mother.” Finally, Xu Shan said these words. He was not an ignorant person, especially since he had almost lost his life last time. If he had really died, his wife and daughter would probably have a hard time in the future.
Yanjia.
Yi Xiaolan also heard the rumors circulating in the martial arts world, and her face turned pale instantly.
"How could this be? My husband was a highly skilled martial artist, how could he have died at the hands of those people?" (End of Chapter)
