#354 - Canglan Sect (4000 words)

Inside the imperial palace of Wudu, Xu Ming was looking at the documents that the Martial Emperor had given him.

These were all about some of the things from Xu Ming's mother's past.

Chen came from a farming family in the suburbs of Wudu.

When Chen came to Wudu, she was noticed by Xu Zheng because of her exceptional beauty.

Then Xu Zheng used coercion and enticement to make Chen Suya marry Xu Zheng.

Chen Suya became pregnant shortly after marrying Xu Zheng, and then Xu Ming was born, and then Xu Ming knew about the other things.

When Chen Suya was in the Xu residence, she was very well-behaved and kept to herself, no different from ordinary wealthy people.

Just as Xu Ming knew, his mother's life was almost the same both before and after "a son's honor depends on his mother."

Even after "a son's honor depends on his mother," Chen Suya still had some people she had to interact with, such as the wives of some dignitaries in Wudu.

After all, if people invite you to a banquet, you can't be embarrassed not to go. If you don't go, it's like not giving them face, and they will think you are arrogant, and even gossip about you outside.

However, Chen Suya was always very proper in her words and actions every time she went, and she always kept a low profile, and she never bragged about her son at all.

Even when those noble ladies praised Xu Ming in front of Chen Suya, Chen Suya always had a smile on her face, neither agreeing to praise her son nor deliberately belittling her son.

Xu Ming read the files about his mother again.

However, Xu Ming didn't look at the content behind, but focused on the content in front.

There was nothing good to see in the content behind, the content in front was the most important.

Then Xu Ming looked at some information about people related to his mother.

Xu Ming found that his "maternal grandfather" and "maternal grandmother" had both passed away relatively early, when his mother was a child, and his mother was raised by the village chief.

Judging from the records, whether it was his maternal grandparents or the kind-hearted village chief, they seemed to be ordinary farmers.

They obeyed the law and usually didn't do anything.

If there was anything wrong, it was that they had all passed away.

However, the reasons for their deaths were all natural deaths, and had nothing to do with Chen Suya.

Then the information goes further back.

Xu Ming found that his great-grandfather had also adopted a daughter.

Later, that daughter got lost.

Going further back, the great-great-grandfather also adopted a daughter, and then this daughter also got lost.

At this time, Xu Ming realized that something was unusual.

How could it be possible for several generations in a row to adopt a daughter? This was definitely not right.

At the same time, Xu Ming was also somewhat amazed by the power of the Wu Kingdom's national institutions.

Although this was a world of immortal cultivation with extraordinary power, no matter what, it was definitely not comparable to the technology of modern Blue Star.

What he didn't expect was that the Martial Emperor could actually find out several generations of a villager, and even know about things that happened several generations ago.

It was just that the Wu Kingdom was established for a relatively short time, otherwise Xu Ming felt that the Martial Emperor could even find out more than a dozen generations.

In the past, Xu Ming had heard how powerful the Listening Wind Pavilion was, but he had only heard about it.

Now, when he really came into contact with it, he realized how terrifying this organization was.

I'm afraid that even his own files are recorded in detail by the Listening Wind Pavilion, unless it is in the Rootless Secret Realm and some places where the Wu Kingdom cannot intervene.

Originally, Xu Ming thought he could go back several generations further.

But it was no longer necessary, because after his great-great-grandfather, no one had been "picked up" again.

"After the Listening Wind Pavilion's investigation, your mother should have appeared in your great-great-grandfather's generation. At that time, your mother still had her previous personality.

The others were just her tools.

It was not until these recent years, perhaps in order to prevent the other party's calculations or something, that your mother sealed her memory."

"Everything in this world has a cause and effect to follow.

Based on the time, make inferences.

According to the Listening Wind Pavilion's report.

It is very likely that your mother is related to the Azure Clarity Sect of the Northern Wilderness."

The Martial Emperor said.

"Northern Wilderness, Azure Clarity Sect?" Xu Ming had never heard of such a name.

"The Azure Clarity Sect is a sect in the Northern Wilderness that has ascended to the Immortal Realm, but two hundred years ago, the Azure Clarity Sect was besieged by the ten major sects of the Northern Wilderness.

As for the specific reason, some kind of rare treasure appeared in the Northern Wilderness at that time. It is not known what this treasure is, but it made ten sects covet it.

It just so happened that at that time, the strongest person in the Azure Clarity Sect had a problem.

Seizing this opportunity, some sects all began to invade.

The entire sect of the Azure Clarity Sect fought hard to resist, but in the end, they were still exterminated.

The disciples of the Azure Clarity Sect died and fled, and most of these disciples hid their names and disappeared without a trace."

Xu Ming: "."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by telling me all this?"

In Xu Ming's opinion, there must be some meaning to the Martial Emperor telling him this, otherwise, it would be a waste of effort for him to say these words.

Either the Martial Emperor wanted to show that he cared very much about his affairs, so he told these pieces of information that were not very useful.

However, the latter was unlikely, because the Martial Emperor also knew that just caring alone would not make a subordinate remember his kindness. Only by truly helping was it the most important!

The Martial Emperor put his hands behind his back: "Although the Azure Clarity Sect has been exterminated for two hundred years, according to the news from the Listening Wind Pavilion, the Azure Clarity Sect has never given up on revenge.

If the other party is a disciple of the Azure Clarity Sect, I believe revenge is also her goal.

But how easy is it for the Azure Clarity Sect to take revenge on those ten sects?"

Xu Ming's eyes lit up at once, and at this time he completely understood the Martial Emperor's meaning: "Your Majesty, are you saying-"

The Martial Emperor's mouth curled up: "If we use helping the other party to take revenge as a condition, what do you say? Would the other party agree to our request? I think at the very least, she can agree to not obliterate your mother's personality?"

"."

After Xu Ming pondered for a while, he bowed deeply to the Martial Emperor.

"Your subject, thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

"Hahaha, Xu Ming, you don't need to be so polite." The Martial Emperor helped Xu Ming up, "You are the champion of my Wu Kingdom! Your affairs are the affairs of my Wu Kingdom, how can the Wu Kingdom stand idly by?"

The Martial Emperor patted Xu Ming on the shoulder: "Time is of the essence, you hurry back first and negotiate with the other party, otherwise it will be too late. Remember, you tell her that as long as she can protect your mother's personality, our Wu Kingdom can fully help her take revenge! With our Wu Kingdom as a guarantee, I don't believe she won't be tempted!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Ming no longer pretended, and after bidding farewell to the Martial Emperor, he quickly returned to the Xu residence.

Leaving the palace, Xu Ming sat in the carriage, thinking about everything he and the Martial Emperor had just discussed.

To be honest, what the Martial Emperor did today really moved him.

Xu Ming really had the idea of拼死效力 for the Martial Emperor in order to repay his kindness.

But in the end, Xu Ming still endured it.

And when he returned to the Xu residence, Xu Ming gradually calmed down.

Admittedly, the Martial Emperor was indeed very good to him, and seemed to be wholeheartedly for his own good.

But in reality, the Wu Kingdom originally had a feud with the Northern Wilderness, and it was still a deadly feud.

The Martial Emperor originally wanted to destroy the Northern Wilderness.

And although the Azure Clarity Sect was destroyed, a centipede dies but never falls down, and there must still be many cultivators in the Azure Clarity Sect secretly thinking about revenge.

After all, this is a sect in the Ascension Realm! The foundation is very exaggerated!

Maybe there are already many cultivators who have hidden their names and established sects in the Northern Wilderness, and the forces are intertwined, and a huge network of forces has been formed.

If the Wu Kingdom can cooperate with the Azure Clarity Sect, it will definitely bring no small trouble to the Northern Wilderness.

So for the Martial Emperor, this is actually a very rare opportunity.

And in this way, he can also sell himself such a big favor.

After this incident, if the Wu Kingdom really has something to do, he really can't stand idly by.

"Alas, sure enough, no emperor is simple."

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Ming shook his head.

After returning to the Xu residence, Xu Ming went directly to Xiaochun Courtyard, intending to have a good talk with the other party.

Xu Ming didn't know how much chance of success there was, but it shouldn't be low.

And even if there is only a glimmer of hope, then he should try it, instead of waiting there to sit and wait for death.

When Xu Ming walked into Xiaochun Courtyard, he saw his mother.

Just as Xu Ming wanted to salute, Chen Suya turned her head.

The moment he saw the other party's eyes, Xu Ming knew that this was not his mother.

Xu Ming's gaze also became sharp and cautious, and even the surrounding sword energy had quietly risen.

"Ming'er, don't look at mother with that kind of eyes, mother will be heartbroken." Chen Suya covered her chest with her hand, pretending to be sad and lost, as if she had suffered the greatest betrayal.

Looking at this woman acting hypocritically and using his mother's body, Xu Ming forcibly endured not drawing his sword.

"Where's my mother?" Xu Ming asked coldly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

‘Chen Suya’ tilted her head, looking at Xu Ming with a smile: “Ming’er, what are you talking about? Aren’t I your mother?”

“Where is my mother?” Xu Ming asked again, his tone clearly impatient.

“Alright, alright~ Why the serious face? It’s scary. Don’t worry, your mother is safe and sound. Even if I wanted to devour her personality, it would take quite a while. Did you think it would be that easy?”

Chen Suya chuckled and patted the spot beside her.

“Was it your Wu Kingdom’s emperor who summoned you earlier? I heard the Listening Wind Pavilion of your Wu Kingdom is spread throughout the world, collecting information on everything.

So, what did your Wu Kingdom’s emperor tell you about my affairs?

Why are you still standing? Aren’t you tired?

Come, sit down for a while, let’s talk.

You came to me as soon as you left the palace, you must have wanted to talk to me, right?”

Listening to ‘Chen Suya’s’ words, Xu Ming retracted his sword aura, stepped forward, and sat down beside ‘Chen Suya.’

‘Chen Suya’ reached out, poured Xu Ming a cup of tea, raised her head, and looked at Xu Ming: “This is the first time I’ve looked at you so closely. You really do look like me, unlike that fellow. It’s good that you look like me, looking like me is much better.”

Xu Ming took a sip of tea: “If I’m not mistaken, Xu Zheng is not my biological father.”

‘Chen Suya’ smiled: “You’re not wrong, Xu Zheng is indeed not your biological father.”

Xu Ming narrowed his eyes: “Then who is my biological father?”

‘Chen Suya’ shook her head: “You don’t need to know who your biological father is. Anyway, your biological father is also a useless fellow, even more useless than Xu Zheng. You just need to know that I am your biological mother.”

Xu Ming: “My mother is not you.”

“Alas,” Chen Suya sighed, “Ming’er, you always say such heartbreaking things. I gave you your flesh and blood, how could I not be your mother? If you say that to others, you might get gossiped about behind your back.”

Xu Ming didn’t speak, just quietly looked at her.

“Forget it, forget it, one day you will acknowledge me as your mother.”

‘Chen Suya’ poured herself a cup of tea: “Tell me, what did your Wu Kingdom emperor say to you when he summoned you? And what do you want to say to me?”

Xu Ming stared directly into ‘Chen Suya’s’ eyes and slowly said three words: “Azure Ripple Sect.”

Hearing these three words, Chen Suya was first stunned, then smiled and said: “Indeed, your investigation is correct, I am indeed from the Azure Ripple Sect.”

Xu Ming took a sip of tea: “With your cultivation level, you must have been in the Upper Five Realms before. Senior Zhou said you are very likely to be in the Immortal Realm.”

‘Chen Suya’ nodded, without any concealment: “That slut is right, I am indeed in the Immortal Realm.”

“No matter which sect it is, an Immortal Realm cultivator holds a high position.” Xu Ming looked at Chen Suya, “What is your position in the Azure Ripple Sect?”

‘Chen Suya’s’ lips curled up: “Call me mother, and I’ll tell you.”

Xu Ming: “…”

“Stop joking.” Xu Ming said seriously.

“Alright.” Chen Suya sighed, “Who told you to be my son.”

“Then I’ll tell you.” Chen Suya propped her chin up, looking at Xu Ming with a smile, “In the Azure Ripple Sect, I am the Sect Master.”

As soon as Chen Suya finished speaking, Xu Ming and Chen Suya fell into silence. Clearly, Xu Ming didn’t believe Chen Suya’s words at all.

“The Azure Ripple Sect is an Ascension Realm sect, and you are only in the Immortal Realm, how could you be the Sect Master?” Xu Ming asked.

“Who said that an Ascension Realm cultivator must be the Sect Master?” Chen Suya smiled, “The Ascension Realm cultivator of the Azure Ripple Sect is your maternal grandfather.”
