"Wait." I hurriedly stopped him. Ye Yunqiu looked puzzled for a moment before saying, "He's going to the Nightfall Kingdom. I know Mu Zhongping wants to lure him into a trap, so there will certainly be unimaginable dangers there. But if I don't open this box, how will I know what secrets are hidden inside?"
"When we went to the Nightfall Kingdom with Mu Zhongping, he said your mother was killed by your father. Do you believe that?" I asked again. That box was Pandora's box, and if this was related to that matter, then my words would certainly have some influence on him.
But to my surprise, Ye Yunqiu stared at me and then said seriously, "I know. That's what everyone says. Still, it's not strange that my mother's identity and origins were unusual. Back then, our Heavenly South Nine Sects went through a purge. On top of that, when my mother was seriously ill, she found my father, entrusted me to him, and passed away soon after. The news that my mother was a remnant of the Nightfall Kingdom and had been killed during my father's purge spread like wildfire. My father also had a volatile temperament, and many people in the Heavenly South Nine Sects looked down on him. Some even slandered him for that reason. He was too lazy to deny it, and so the rumor spread. But I can say with certainty that my mother wasn't killed by him."
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm reassured hearing you say that. However, we don't need to open the box ourselves. After all, I don't completely trust Mu Zhongping."
"That's fine too." As Ye Yunqiu spoke, he sent the box out through the void and removed the layers of seals covering it.
