Once he completed a visual lap of the surroundings, Kongcang approached Hua Qing and, in a melancholic demeanour, queried, “Why did they fight”

“Uh, ask me that question again once I figure out the answer for myself.”

“Understood.”

Although he was smiling on the surface, Kongcang deliberately approached Hua Qing, hoping to find an opportunity to make off with the relic and use Hua Qing as a hostage if a physical confrontation was inexorable. Hua Qing was an insignificant pawn in the whole plan; he shouldnt have even been on the board since he was the typical character who shouldve died a forgetful death, but he happened to come into possession of the sarira. He wouldve been a useless hostage if it wasnt for the relic.

Ming Feizhen slouched into a chair he pulled over, apparently sore and spent. “Hes finally admitted the skills he employed to make a name for himself all these years are stolen from Xu ClansAerial Flower Divine Seal. This is the result of our fight.”

Kongcang took a glance at Zhuo Fengru. “Are you all right, young hero May this one check your injuries” He went over finger jabbed a series of spots on Ming Feizhens left arm, stopping three inches away from the first spot.

“Your examination method is quite advanced, old monk,” Ming Feizhen remarked.

“This is a method this ones late junior came up with. Not only was he adept at martial arts but also had a heart of a gold. To say he is a hero is absolutely fair.” Speaking with a bitter smile, Kongcang continued, “Even though he has entered samsara, this one still misses him. Sword qi damaged your meridians, so it will take some effort to recover. Luckily, you have a Buddhist discipline supporting you. You will be fine as long as the uncontrolled true qi is controlled.”

“In that case, save your breath and deal with Old Zhuo.”

“But…” While he showed concern on his face, Kongcang was sneering inside, glad Ming Feizhen said those words.

“As a monk, benevolence is your principle, but my shifu taught me that people wont submit if you dont hit them while they are down. Im going to exercise that now.” Ming Feizhen sprung out of his chair, but he wobbled. “The heck Its like Im drunken.”

Ming Feizhen shook his head vigorously, then pulled up Zhuo Fengru. Instead of finishing Zhuo Fengru as Kongcang hoped, however, he palmed Zhuo Fengru on the back, using his hand as a medium to siphon true qi over.

Zhuo Fengrus spirit gradually returned to him thanks to Ming Feizhen. He seemed fine as he scanned his surroundings until Kongcangs appearance stretched his eyes wide.

“Oi, Zhuo Fengru, you lost to me, so you can talk now, yeah What are you hiding How did you link up with Lord Miguo” questioned Ming Feizhen. “Fess up now. Else, you can take your secrets with you to hell.”

“… You won. Whats with all the drivel”

“Tough guy, eh” Ming Feizhen frowned, accelerating Kongcangs heart rate. “If you were a wuss, I wouldnt have spent so much time on you. If youre not going to talk… Ill start guessing.”

“What do you want”

Ming Feizhen retreated to his chair, but he never took his eyes off Zhuo Fengru. “Zhuo Yupin isnt your biological son, is he”

Everyone started, while Kongcang scoffed at the conjecture inwardly. Lord Miguo blackmailed Zhuo Fengru with Zhuo Yupins life. Why would Zhuo Fengru submit to them if Zhuo Yupin wasnt his biological son

“Ming Feizhen! I respect you as a worthy opponent, but that doesnt warrant this libel!”

“Save it. You knew I already realised it when you learnt I asked Liu Shan Men to investigate you, didnt you You arent riled up because youre worried outsiders know but your real child here finding out.”

Kongcangs confidence started to sway.

Zhuo Fengru, keeping his jaws locked tight for a while, eventually heaved a breath. “Why are you asking when you already know”

“Im not interested in meddling with your family affairs. Unfortunately, some fussy person insists I get to the bottom of it, right, Hua Gezi”

Hua Qing nodded solemnly.

Su Li voiced, “Young Master Hua, you…”

Hua Qing deployed another head bob. “Yes, its me.”

“Youre Hero Zhuos illegitimate son”

“Yes! I mean, no! No, Im not! My dad used to sell duck eggs at a street stall. Although he really did sell salted duck eggs when I was a kid, I really do love him! I was referring to this secret.”

“Its not you!”

“Why would it be me! Even you, Shifu! Zhuo Fengru, stop with theIm so pitiable act! You know its not me!”

“Its Xu Yanran,” Ming Feizhen asserted emotionlessly. “Xu Yanran is your biological daughter.”

Zhuo Fengrus hunched body shuddered.

Xu Yanran slowly and indifferently lowered her head. “… How did you find out”

“I never suspected it, but you and your wife are too kind to Yanran. I initially thought you were nice to her because shes your old friends daughter and future daughter-in-law. As I observed more and more, though, I noticed that Lady Zhuo is really cold to Zhuo Yupin, yet she virtually treats Yanran as a daughter. That was when I started having wild suspicions.

“I noticed Zhuo Yupin doesnt resemble you or Lady Zhuo whatsoever. Lady Zhuo is a belle, while you resemble a demented bear cub. In contrast, Zhuo Yupin is neither ugly nor handsome. Xu Yanran, on the other hand, somewhat bears a resemblance to Lady Zhuo.

“My shifu taught me, if you want to find the truth, you need to be stubborn and shameless. As I assumed, Zhuo Yupin was already three years old when you moved here to Yichang. Your neighbours never saw Lady Zhuo pregnant or know where your family used to reside. For that reason, I came up with a new hypothesis: your families exchanged children. Zhuo Yupin, therefore, should be the only and true descendent of Intelligence Branch.”
