The village chief knocked on the ground with his walking stick. "Don't worry, you can all go down."
The villagers all looked at each other and then turned around. The young man in tiger skin glared at Xu Cheng. "You better not do anything stupid."
Then, they all left one after another.
At the top of the waterfall, when only the village chief and Xu Cheng were left, the village chief said, "Thirty years ago, I had another nickname, Half-Immortal Xu. These people probably don't know me, or they probably forgot about it. Also, there are too few people who remember this identity. Maybe it's a secret code, and only your father knows this nickname."
Xu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, or else I would have died here."
The village chief looked at Xu Cheng seriously and said with a bit of emotion, "To be honest, I'm really surprised that your father allowed you to come and find me."
Xu Cheng: "Then, are you a member of the Xu Family?"
The village chief shook his head. "Not really, but the Xu Family has done me a favor, and I have to repay it for the rest of my life."
Xu Cheng's eyes were a bit disappointed. "I already guessed that the Xu Family wouldn't have any relatives."
The village chief: "Aren't you here to find your roots? Maybe I can tell you some of the origins of the Xu Family. "
Xu Cheng shook his head. "Forget it, as long as I know if Half-Immortal Xu is a relative of the Xu Family, the rest is not important."
As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave.
The village chief narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you afraid of finding out that your master is a thief? Why are you protecting him? Back then, he did steal the Maze Fist, but if I didn't turn a blind eye to it, do you think he could have stolen it? "
Xu Cheng was surprised. "You allowed him to steal it?"
The village chief nodded. "I have to protect Xu Zhong, and I can't leave this place. Otherwise, this place will be discovered and destroyed, so I can't get revenge on the four clans. But Zhang Chenfeng has a grudge against the four clans, and I saw that he was talented, so I wanted to use him."
"Wait, wait a second, Grandpa." Xu Cheng waved his hand. "You said … you said that the four clans have a grudge against our Xu Family?"
The Village Chief nodded and looked into the distance with his walking stick. He sighed and said, "Back then, five families joined hands to destroy the Xu Family. Almost everyone in the Xu Family was killed. The Old Master ordered me to guard the Xu Family's ancestral hall. I have been guarding it for decades. I have children here, including those I have adopted. Most of them don't know the history of the Xu Family. I just gave them the idea that the Xu Family has done us a great favor and asked them to guard the tomb with me."
"Five families?" Xu Cheng frowned.
"The other one is the Zhang Clan. Your master Zhang Chenfeng's clan might not have been able to divide the spoils evenly, so the other four clans killed everyone in the Zhang Clan. Your master is probably the only survivor. That's why I asked you if he wiped out the other four clans. Back then, I knew that no one wanted to exterminate the four clans more than him, so I purposely let him steal the Mystic Fist, hoping to use him to exterminate the enemies who exterminated the clans. "
Xu Cheng didn't feel good.
Knowing the truth, it was hard for him to accept that his master had such a backstory.
"Old man, are you sure you're not mistaken? Maybe I'm too old? "Xu Cheng wanted to say something but hesitated.
The Village Chief laughed. "Then let's talk about your father."
Xu Cheng's pupils dilated and he nodded. "He told me to come to you when I had nowhere else to go. Do you really have a way to change the situation? Then why didn't he come to you back then? "
The Village Chief: "Because he violated the teachings of his ancestors. He fell in love with the daughter of his enemy!"
Xu Cheng finally reacted, and his eyes widened.
The Village Chief sighed. "He was the one who didn't come to me. It's not that I didn't want to help, but your father was very stubborn. He knew that he had wronged the ancestors, so he refused to come to me for help. I couldn't leave this place, but to be honest, if it was me at that time, I really didn't have the confidence to fight against the four races. I tried to persuade him that if he was willing to hide, I could protect him, but he insisted on looking for your mother, the daughter of the enemy who had exterminated her family. How could I let her enter this place? Your father wouldn't agree either. He knew that he liked that person, so he simply didn't want to appear in front of me anymore. Sigh, speaking of which, my brain is getting old, and I forgot the most important point. After the Xu Family was wiped out, what was the point of me guarding this place? Later, I went to look for your father, but I couldn't find him. Then, I only heard about his death, but I know nothing about you. "
"That was because my father wanted to protect me back then," Xu Cheng said.
The Village Chief walked over and touched Xu Cheng's face, carefully looking at him. "Yes, you look more and more like your father. He finally did one good thing, and that is, he didn't let the Xu Family's bloodline go extinct! Hahahaha. "
Xu Cheng couldn't bring himself to be happy. Whenever he thought about his master's dirty deeds, he couldn't bring himself to be happy.
Especially after the Zhang Family participated in the destruction of the Xu Family, their relationship was a bit messy.
"Then, does that mean I became the disciple of the person who killed my family?" Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "I …"
He didn't even know what to say. This feeling was very contradictory, very f * cking tangled.
The Village Chief saw his frowning and confused look, and he said, "Your master doesn't even care, what do you care about?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Cheng looked up at him.
"There's no way Zhang Chenfeng doesn't know your identity. Do you really think the four clans are after your father just because of his elopement with your mother? It's not that there's no other reason. The most important thing is that your father's surname is Xu, and he's the only descendant of the Xu Family that they destroyed, but your mother just happened to fall in love with him. The Ye Family was afraid that the other three clans would do what they did to the Zhang Family back then, so they ruthlessly broke up the relationship between your mother and your father. It's not to give face to the Long Family. As a member of the same clan, after Zhang Chenfeng heard your father's name, he already knew that you were also from the Xu Family, so why did he pass on the Lost Fist to you? In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can also see that he's repaying the debt of gratitude for stealing the Lost Fist and returning it to its rightful owner. "The Village Chief said," He's not a bad person, and it's right for you to worship him. "
Xu Cheng suddenly understood. "Then there's really no one else in the Xu Family?"
The Village Chief joked, "Aren't you human?"
Xu Cheng was speechless, but after thinking it all through, he was relieved. This time, other than the regret of not being able to see the Xu Family's relatives, he also gained something. "Since I know, then I have nothing to worry about anymore. Thank you for telling me. Grandpa, I'll be going now."
Seeing that he was about to leave, the Village Chief said to him, "You don't want to take your Xu Family's things with you?"
Xu Cheng stopped and looked at the Village Chief. "What things? Gold, silver, jewelry, or money? Just give those old antiques to the villagers. "
