Ten o'clock in the evening, Su Jiang Park, Star Plucking Tower!
Mr. Chu stood on the top floor of the Star Plucking Tower, facing Su Jiang with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the surging waves of Su Jiang, many thoughts flashed through Mr. Chu's mind.
He didn't expect to see that poem again after so many years.
Only two people in this world knew that poem. One was him, and the other was Chu Qingxin.
One had to know that three years ago, he had already received the news of Chu Qingxin's death. In order to find Chu Qingxin's whereabouts, he had even resigned from his position as the Chu Family's Patriarch and went to the Western Asura World to personally inquire about it.
However, in the end, he found nothing. He didn't get any news or information about her whereabouts.
However, he never thought that he would actually see that poem at this auction.
This caused a trace of hope to rise in Mr. Chu's heart. Perhaps she hadn't died yet!
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
After a long wait, rustling footsteps finally rang out.
Ye Xuan walked to the top of the Star Plucking Tower with rustling footsteps.
"Junior Ye Xuan greets Mr. Chu!"
Ye Xuan respectfully cupped his fists as he looked at Mr. Chu, who stood with his hands behind his back.
"It's good that you're here!"
Mr. Chu didn't turn his head to look at Ye Xuan. His gaze was still calm as he looked at the surging Su Jiang and lightly spoke.
Ye Xuan lightly nodded his head and walked to Mr. Chu's side. He also looked at the surging Su Jiang and didn't say anything else.
The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding to maintain that silence. Neither of them was willing to break this silence so easily.
At the foot of the mountain in the center of Su Jiang Park, there were two groups of people hidden in the forest on both sides of the surging Su River.
They were General Kindern from the Great Cold Kingdom and Duke Yorkbury from the Shadow Kingdom's royal family.
Now that they were hiding in the dense forest, they coldly stared at Ye Xuan and Mr. Chu, who were on top of the Star Plucking Tower. Their eyes flickered with an ice-cold light.
Their goal in coming here was very obvious. It wasn't to deal with Mr. Chu and Ye Xuan, but to obtain the Divine Weapon, Dragon Blade, in Ye Xuan's hands.
They also heard what Mr. Chu said when he left the auction, so they secretly came here to lie in ambush, searching for the Divine Weapon, Dragon Blade, to kill Ye Xuan.
As for Mr. Chu, they had no intention of attacking him.
Mr. Chu stood on top of the Star Plucking Tower and looked at the surging Su River. Seeing that Ye Xuan hadn't spoken for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you know why I gave you the Divine Armament's dragon blade and told you to come here?"
"Is it because of the poem I wrote?"
Ye Xuan replied in a low voice.
Mr. Chu gently nodded. After a long time, he gathered his courage and asked, "This poem was written by me to her mother. Later, her mother gave it to her … In this world, only she and I know about it. It's been 3,966 days since she left home. How is she now? "
As Mister Chu's words fell, the black gas surrounding him gradually dissipated, revealing his true appearance.
He clearly looked to be in his forties or fifties, but his hair had already turned white. His resolute face was fierce and dignified, but it was also filled with the vicissitudes of life. Although his body was very strong, it was filled with an unconcealable sorrow and exhaustion. He was clearly an iron-blooded and dignified man, but his body was covered with scars from the torture of time …
Hearing Mr. Chu's words and looking at Mr. Chu's white hair, Ye Xuan's heart violently trembled. His gaze towards Mr. Chu was filled with guilt and self-blame.
From the information contained in Mr. Chu's simple words, it wasn't difficult for Ye Xuan to deduce Mr. Chu's identity and relationship with Chu Qingxin.
He was most likely Chu Qingxin's father.
Chu Qingxin was Ye Xuan's Demon Concubine from his previous life, his beloved wife.
In a way, Mr. Chu could be considered Ye Xuan's father-in-law.
Ye Xuan didn't know how to answer Mr. Chu's question.
There were some things, some words that were really hard for him to say.
Sensing Ye Xuan's silence, Mr. Chu's gaze couldn't help but darken. He muttered, "Back then, her mother, who I loved, was seriously ill. In order to not let her heart be broken, her mother and I kept it a secret from her. I heard that there was a divine medicine that could cure all kinds of illnesses in the Great Cold Snow Mountain in the depths of the Demon Lair, so I went out to look for it … "
"When I returned, Luo Xue had already passed away from a serious illness, and Qing Xin had misunderstood me, blaming me for not taking good care of her mother, so …" Heartbroken, she left the family and went outside by herself. In order to prevent me from finding her, she went to the Western Asura World, and later on, I heard that she was with a rising star in the Western Asura World. "
"I personally went to the Western Asura World to observe that kid for a period of time. I felt that his character was not bad, and I owed you a lot. He was worth entrusting, so I felt at ease and returned to my clan. Later on, I heard that he ascended to the throne of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Western Asura World, became a Demon Lord, and married a wife. I was secretly happy for him! "
"It's just that I didn't expect that the four great emperors of the Western Asura World would join hands to deal with that brat, the Demon Lord. In the end, the Demon Lord was betrayed by a traitor and died to save her. The Demon Lord also fell because of this."
At the end of Mr. Chu's words, they were filled with too much regret and self-blame, "If I had known that they would encounter such a thing, I wouldn't have left. I wouldn't have returned to the clan and would have stayed by their side in secret …"
"All these years, I've been secretly investigating her whereabouts, but I haven't found any traces of her. I thought she was really dead, but I didn't expect to see this poem at the auction, which gave me a glimmer of hope. I thought she was still alive, but I didn't expect …" "Sigh …"
Mr. Chu let out a long sigh. He raised his head and looked at the vast stars in the sky, no longer saying anything.
Hearing Mr. Chu's words, the guilt and self-blame in Ye Xuan's heart grew even stronger.
No wonder he always felt that he was being spied on for a period of time. When he encountered danger, he would be able to avoid danger. However, he didn't expect that all of this was because the man in front of him was secretly observing and helping him …
It was he who didn't take good care of Chu Qingxin. It was he who let down this man in front of him who had a father's love like a mountain.
"So …" I'm sorry! "
A low voice came out of Ye Xuan's mouth.
"Sigh..." Forget it! "
Mr. Chu lightly shook his head and withdrew his gaze from the stars in the night sky. He extended his hand and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, then turned around and walked down the stairs …
"Where are you going, sir?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask as he looked at Mr. Chu's dejected back.
"Continue to look for her until I see her corpse!"
Mr. Chu replied without turning his head.
"Are you saying that you didn't see her corpse?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's gaze went cold as he asked in a low voice.
If he didn't see Qingxin's corpse, did that mean that she was still alive?
"No. So I have to find her and bring her home.
"Mr. Chu lightly replied.
A wave of hope rose in Ye Xuan's heart.
If he could miraculously survive, then would he be able to survive as well?
At that moment, he strode forward and walked side by side with Mr. Chu.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Mr. Chu didn't even ask Ye Xuan why he knew this poem.
The two of them quickly descended the mountain. When they arrived at the bridge that spanned the Su River, Mr. Chu and Ye Xuan's footsteps paused. However, they stopped at this moment. Mr. Chu's indifferent voice came out of his mouth.
"The rats hiding in the shadows have been waiting for so long. Come out!"
Hearing Mr. Chu's words and looking at Mr. Chu and Ye Xuan, who were standing in the middle of the bridge, the gazes of the Great Han Kingdom's General Kinder and the Shadow Kingdom's Duke York, who were hiding in the dense forest on both sides of the bridge, couldn't help but turn cold. Their eyes flickered with a cold light.
They didn't expect Mr. Chu's perception to be so shocking and powerful. Even though they were trying their best to hide their auras, he was still able to detect them.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
In the next moment, they brought their men and rushed out of the dense forest, surrounding Mr. Chu and Ye Xuan.
The Great General of the Great Han Kingdom, Kinder, had brought a total of five people with him. These five people wore black nocturnal clothes, wore veils, covered their noses and mouths, and held long sabers in their hands. Their entire bodies emitted a strong killing intent, and they were famous experts of the Great Han Kingdom. They were known as the Five Tigers of the Han Kingdom, and their strength was extraordinary.
As for the Shadow Kingdom's Duke, York Burbury, he brought a total of three people. Their faces were ferocious and ice-cold, and they wore 21st century French style clothes. They held swords in their hands, and their sharp blood-red eyes flickered with a cold light. They looked at Ye Xuan and the others like vampires with gazes filled with desire, wishing for nothing more than to suck all of their blood dry.
They were the assassins that York Burbury had meticulously trained, and they were also his trusted aides. They were known as the Demon Three Swordsmen!
As Kinder led the Five Tigers of the Han Kingdom and York Burbury and the Three Swordsmen to surround Ye Xuan and Mr. Chu, a strong killing intent filled the air, causing the atmosphere to become ice-cold and austere. Ye Xuan and Mr. Chu frowned, their eyes flickering with a cold light.
Kinder and York Burbury were already extremely powerful people. With the addition of the Five Tigers of the Han Kingdom and the Three Swordsmen, it would undoubtedly be extremely troublesome.
Moreover, Ye Xuan and Mr. Chu could clearly feel that there was someone spying on them from the shadows. It was obvious that someone hadn't appeared yet and planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, reaping the benefits of a fisherman!
"Mr. Chu, we do not intend to become enemies with you. You can do as you please!"
Looking at Mister Chu's ice-cold expression, Jin Deen smiled and said.
"That's right, Mr. Chu. You can leave at any time. Our target is only Ye Xuan!"
York Burbury also said with a smile at this moment.
This Mr. Chu's strength was unfathomable. They had never thought of provoking him.
"And if I don't leave?"
A sharp light flashed in Mr. Chu's eyes as he coldly replied.
"If Mr. Chu insists on getting involved in this muddy water, then we can only offend him. If we hurt Mr. Chu, I hope Mr. Chu won't blame us!"
York Burbury said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Humph!"
Mr. Chu snorted coldly. He took a deep look at Ye Xuan before walking away.
Mr. Chu's actions undoubtedly caused Kinder and York Burbury to let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Mister Chu was about to brush past Jin Deen, the astral energy in his body surged, the violent astral energy surged, carrying a fierce force as it fiercely smashed towards Jin Deen's head, cold words coming out of his mouth.
"Attack!"
