Song Changsheng gave her a strange look. Was she afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have said? Is there any hidden secret here?
It's a bit strange to think about it. He is also from Sunset City's family. When Niu Dazhuang learned that his surname was Song, his attitude changed drastically and he even wanted to fight with him.
The same was true when he first met Zhuang Yuechan. Although the other party was not as hostile as Niu Dazhuang after learning that his surname was Song, his attitude was also very cold. It was only after fighting side by side that he changed his mind.
Just because of this incident, he suspected whether Lineage had any deep grudge against Sunset City, but neither Wang Wanzhou nor his mother seemed to have any concerns about it, and Song Xianming did not want to mention it.
At that time, he suspected that the relationship between Lineage and Sunset City was very bad.
But from the moment he got the invitation, he knew that things seemed different from what he thought.
And after arriving at Sunset City, he also discovered that this was indeed the case. The general manager Qian Duoyu was very enthusiastic about both him and Twelfth Uncle. He also agreed to the issue of reopening Trade Route very simply and did not make things difficult.
He didn't know the secrets contained in an invitation before, but he only found out through the exchange with Qian Duoyu that the invitation in his hand was actually the most special one. He could go to the mountain a month earlier, later than Purple Palace Cultivator, but earlier than Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After arriving, he was assigned a separate residence. He also visited other people's residences. The conditions here were top-notch, the same as Purple Palace Cultivator.
This completely overturned his thoughts. If there was a real hatred between Lineage and Sunset City, how could they give him such courtesy?
It would be nice not to be humiliated.
After meeting Xiao Qingwan, he thought it was caused by the grudges between her and his own Old Master, but judging from her attitude towards him, he felt that something was wrong.
Therefore, there must be some hidden secret, there may be some misunderstanding, and Zhuang Yuechan and Niu Dazhuang undoubtedly know the truth.
Based on Niu Dazhuang's attitude towards him, Song Changsheng doesn't expect to know anything from him. After eliminating him, the goal will be clear.
Thinking of this, Song Changsheng stood up and solemnly raised his hand to Zhuang Yuechan and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, if you know the inside story, please tell Song. Song will be very grateful."
Zhuang Yuechan Seeing this, he quickly avoided it and said with a wry smile, "Why are you doing this, Fellow Daoist Song? After so many years, do you know what the point is?"
"But the truth should not be buried." Song Changsheng insisted.
"Fellow Daoist Song, you have saved my life, and I should not reject you in terms of emotion and reason, but please believe me. Telling this so-called 'truth' will not benefit anyone." Zhuang Yuechan's tone was unprecedentedly serious.
Song Changsheng was silent. For this reason, he knew that Zhuang Yuechan would not tell him, so he had to settle for the next best thing. "Is that Senior Xiao one of our Sunset Citys?"
Zhuang Yuechan nodded, it was already obvious and there was no point in hiding it.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Mr. Song still remembers the scene when we first met. At that time, your attitude became very cold after you learned that my surname was Song. I want to know why."
Song Changsheng stared into Zhuang Yuechan's eyes very rudely, making Zhuang Yuechan slightly panicked.
The two looked at each other like this for a while, and Zhuang Yuechan finally gave in. She sighed and said, "Let me tell you a story."
Song Changsheng looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.
"Once upon a time, there was a girl who was innocent and smart. She was the palm Luminous Pearl of the elders and was carefully cared for by her brothers and sisters. She was extremely talented, so her cultivation improved rapidly.
In her twenties, she broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm, and her elders finally agreed to let her go down the mountain to practice.
She is a flower that has been carefully cared for and has never been exposed to wind or rain, so she suffered a lot at the beginning. But fortunately, she has extraordinary strength and has no dangers along the way.
Until one day, she fell into Evil Cultivator's trick and was trapped in a vicious Array. She knew nothing about Array and had to rely on the treasures given by her elders to resist it.
It was at this time that she met the person who influenced her life.
That was a young man, in his early twenties, majestic and heroic. It was his first time going down the mountain to experience. After discovering that the girl was trapped, he took action resolutely. Not only did he kill Evil Cultivator, he also broke through Array.
After doing all this, the young man drifted away without even leaving his name, but his voice and smile were engraved in the girl's mind.
This is the first time the two meet.
When they met for the second time, it was already decades later. One of them became the famous Formation Master, and the other became the popular Alchemy Master.
They hit it off immediately and sat talking for dozens of days.
From then on, the two often went out to experience together. After experiencing life and death, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper. Until one day, the woman found that she fell in love with the man, and she fell deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate herself.
It just so happened that the man also had a deep love for her, so the two naturally got together, and it wasn't long before the time came to talk about marriage.
The woman's elders are very open-minded and respect her decision, but although the woman's force is very powerful, it is a neutral force and will never intervene in the disputes of other forces.
The woman is trained as the future leader, so she must also maintain absolute neutrality. Therefore, if a man wants to marry a woman, the first condition is to break away from his Lineage, because his Lineage is on the cusp of the storm. If the woman marries her, it will be equivalent to announcing to the world that they have become allies.
This is what the woman's elders do not want to see, so they make such a request, but at the same time they also promise the man that after marriage, the two will have equal status, the children will have his surname, and they will even be able to hold real power in the future.
This was a very generous condition, but the man did not agree. However, he couldn't bear the woman's pleading and finally reluctantly agreed.
But things didn't go as planned. The wedding date had already been set and the wedding invitations had been sent out. However, something unexpected happened to the man's Lineage. So, a few days before the wedding, the man left without returning.
The woman thought that he had something to hide, so she came to look for him in person. The final result was that the woman left sadly and could not come out of seclusion ever since.
Thirty years later, the man's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He challenged all the monks everywhere and defeated all the monks of his generation, becoming invincible.
After getting the news, the woman stepped out of the room for the first time in thirty years and wanted to fight with him, but he was too strong. The woman was slightly inferior and was defeated by him.
After the war, the man became Lineage's Patriarch, and they got married under the help of his elders. After getting the news, the woman's temperament changed drastically, and she was completely different from before.
Her cultivation also stagnated as a result, which not only made her lose the qualification to compete for the leader, but also caused the alchemy world to lose a future Alchemy Master..."
Zhuang Yuechan stopped here. She looked at Song Changsheng and said, "I was saved by Master after passing through a mortal village that was massacred by Demonic Cultivator. I was only a few months old at that time and was brought back by Master.
But he had never married a wife, had no children, and could not take care of children at all, so he sent me to an elder. She raised me and taught me how to read. She was the best person to me besides my master. "
At this point, Song Changsheng already understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The protagonist in the story told by Zhuang Yuechan, the man is his Grandfather Song Xianming, and the woman is the senior Xiao Qingwan, who is also the elder who raised Zhuang Yuechan.
There is a saying that love the house and the crow, hate the house and the crow.
Look at what Old Master did. He ran away from the wedding before the wedding, which caused a drastic change in the woman's temperament. Sunset City did not go to war with Lineage, which was already the result of extreme restraint.
Zhuang Yuechan As a being who is both a disciple and a daughter, it is strange that he has a good impression of someone named Song.
In a different place, if it were Song Changsheng, he would have exercised the greatest restraint by not facing the opponent's sword.
So her attitude Song Changsheng is completely understandable, but what about Niu Dazhuang? He couldn't have been raised by Xiao Qingwan, right?
After asking this question, Zhuang Yuechan gave him a complicated look and said, "Senior Martial Brother Niu is Martial Uncle Zhan's Direct Disciple, and Martial Uncle Zhan is my Martial Uncle suitor, so..."
Well, it turned out to be the apprentice of Old Master's love rival. No wonder he hated Song Clan Disciples so much. Song Changsheng suddenly understood.
"Grandfather, how many glorious deeds have you not told me? Not only do you have an ex like Senior Xiao, but you also have a love rival like City Lord Zhan.
Fortunately, Sunset City is a force that maintains absolute neutrality. Otherwise, others would have come knocking on their door, right? "
Song Changsheng was filled with emotions, that was Zhan Tianxia, Sunset City Second City Lord, is famous for his bad temper, no wonder Old Master didn't dare to come to Birthday Banquet, if Zhan Tianxia knew about it, he would have to tear him apart alive?
When he was young, Zhan Tianxia might not be his opponent, but now, one is the famous Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, and the other is the dying old man Foundation Establishment Realm. The gap between them is bigger than that between a man and a dog.
"I didn't expect Grandfather and Senior Xiao to have such a past." Song Changsheng suddenly felt a sigh of relief, but then he thought about it and realized that something was wrong. If both parties had severed their ties, then why did his parents bring him to find her?
Come to think of it, it seems a little weird that the son and daughter-in-law of the woman who stole his beloved brought her grandson to his "ex" for medicine.
You say that the hatred of a husband is irreconcilable, so even if she was given the medicine, she would not dare to take it.
After expressing the doubts in his heart, Zhuang Yuechan said, "At that time, Martial Uncle and you Grandfather had not severed their ties with each other, but they had little contact. As far as I know, when your father was born, Martial Uncle went to congratulate you on behalf of Sunset.
What really makes them strangers is other reasons. "
"What's the reason?"
"Fellow Daoist Song, I'm sorry. I have told you enough today. I will not tell you this matter, and I cannot tell you. You should not ask again in the future." Zhuang Yuechan shook his head firmly.
This reason is probably the so-called "truth", but it is impossible for Zhuang Yuechan to tell him more.
Song Changsheng was still very grateful to her. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have learned so much, so he handed her over again and said, "Thank you Fellow Daoist Zhuang for today. Song owes you a favor."
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Song, so I'll take my leave now." Zhuang Yuechan shook his head slightly, returned the salute and prepared to leave.
When she was about to walk outside Bamboo Building, Song Changsheng suddenly said, "In this case, why does Great City Lord treat me so well?"
He was referring to the over-standard invitations and accommodation. According to the relationship between the Song Clan and Sunset City, he should not receive these courtesy.
Originally, he thought it was because of his Old Master's reputation, but now it seems that his reputation has been ruined. He feels that it is a miracle that he has not been beaten to death yet.
Zhuang Yuechan stopped, pondered for a while and then said, "You deserve this."
"What do I deserve?" Song Changsheng was confused, but Zhuang Yuechan had already left quickly, seemingly afraid that Song Changsheng would continue to ask.
"Oh, I'm really stunned. I originally invited Fellow Daoist Zhuang here to catch up on old times, but it ended up like this." Looking at the steaming tea, Song Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He was a little too persistent.
Sitting back in his seat, he still couldn't help but think about why his Old Master wanted to run away from his marriage?
He did not hesitate to leave Lineage but also stay with him, which proves that the relationship between them is very deep, otherwise it would be impossible for Song Xianming to do this with his temperament.
But why did he choose the most harmful way to end such a deep relationship?
"Lineage accident..." Song Changsheng chewed these words repeatedly in his mouth, and began to calculate in his mind, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Isn't this the period when Song Old Ancestor Yungui was seriously injured and Song Old Ancestor Yunhan succeeded Patriarch?
"Could it be..." Song Changsheng suddenly had a guess in his mind, but it was not the answer he wanted, so he planned to find out more about it after he went back!
Two days later, Zhuang Yuechan came to the door again. This time Song Changsheng was very sensible and did not mention those topics again. This also made Zhuang Yuechan feel relieved. If Song Changsheng continued to ask questions, then she would have no choice but to retreat.
"Fellow Daoist Song, today there are seniors from the Golden Crow Sect and Heavenly Meridian Sect discussing Daoism at the Dao Discussion Hall. Do you want to go and have a look?" Zhuang Yuechan asked with a smile.
"Such a rare opportunity cannot be missed. Let's set off now." Song Changsheng agreed very simply. After listening to the last Purple Mansion discussion, he was still a little unfinished. This time, two elders from Golden Core Force were discussing the topic, so he couldn't miss it.
Ever since, the two of them went to the Dao Discussion Hall together.
Song Changsheng obviously underestimated the charm of Zhuang Yuechan. As soon as she appeared, she was like a blooming flower, attracting countless bees and butterflies.
The identities of these people are not ordinary. There is Purple Palace Cultivator behind them. Zhuang Yuechan is not easy to offend with words, so he can only choose to ignore their existence.
Being ignored by Zhuang Yuechan, these people could only endure it. After all, beauties have privileges, but Song Changsheng standing next to him became the target of public criticism...
