Wu bit her lips and looked at Tang Zheng with a complicated expression. She never thought that he would be so stubborn. Even in the face of such great difficulty, he would not compromise and was unwilling to go to the Martial Sect.
Seeing Tang Zheng turn around and leave, Wu did not chase after him. Her mind raced, and in the end, she realized that she was still unable to complete the mission given to her by the sect master. She really had no way of bringing Tang Zheng back to the Martial Sect.
That day, she left the capital and returned to the Martial Sect.
From afar, she saw the Sect Leader's wife, Lan Yu. She hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Mistress."
Lan Yu was still beautiful, even more enchanting than a blooming flower in spring. She smiled like a flower and said, "Martial, you're back. What mission did your master ask you to carry out? Furthermore, your master has become a little strange since he came back last time. He doesn't want to say anything and has been in closed door cultivation. "
Wu's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Master is in closed door cultivation?"
"Yes, I think he seems to have encountered some kind of problem and has become silent. Even I am not willing to say much." Lan Yu said suspiciously.
Wu asked tentatively, "Mistress, there is a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time. I have not had the chance to ask for so many years. I wonder if Mistress can help me solve my doubts?"
Lan Yu lovingly touched her hand and smiled. "I practically raised you single-handedly. You're just like my daughter. What questions can't a daughter ask her mother?"
Wu revealed a rare smile and said, "Mistress, I will never forget your kindness to me for the rest of my life."
"Silly girl, go ahead and ask."
"Mistress, I heard that you and Master once had a child?"
Hearing this, Lan Yu's smile quickly disappeared and she became incomparably sorrowful. "Martial, why do you want to ask this question?"
Wu's heart tightened as he said nervously, "Mistress, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked this question."
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "It was too long ago. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it."
Although she said that, it was clear that she had not forgotten about this matter.
"Your master and I once had a son. If he was born in another family, he would definitely be happy and healthy, a lively and cute child. However, he was born in the wrong family and went out to the Martial Sect. His fate became a tragedy." Lan Yu sank into her memories, and a deep pain appeared between her brows.
"Why do you say that? Having parents like Master's wife and Master should be his fortune, right? "Wu Dawei did not understand.
"Wrong, having parents like us is his greatest misfortune. We brought him into this world not long ago, but in the end, we erased him from this world. "Tears flickered in Lan Yu's eyes, and her emotions fluctuated greatly.
Martial's heart stirred as he asked, "Could it be that something unexpected happened to him?"
"Hmph, unfortunate? It's because some people couldn't tolerate a little baby like him and actually tried to kill him, while some people couldn't even protect their own sons. What a coward! "Lan Yu's eyes burst with sparks of hatred.
Martial was shocked!
Could it be that they were talking about her master?
Could it be that his master had personally killed his own son?
Wu was greatly shocked by his own thoughts, and a look of panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly comforted himself that it couldn't be like this, that he was just imagining things.
"Master's wife, Master's martial arts are strong, how could he not be able to protect his child?" Wu asked nervously.
"What's the use of having a high level of martial arts? He listens to that person's every command and doesn't even have the courage to resist."
Who is Master obedient to?
Wu had never seen anyone with such prestige. Even the few elders of the Martial Sect did not dare to be careless towards their master, especially the Great Clan Elder, who was the trusted aide of the previous Sect Master. However, he did not dare to give his master any face.
The previous Sect Leader?
Wu's heart skipped a beat, he finally guessed a bit, if there was anyone in this world who could make his master obey, then it could only be the previous Martial Sect Sect Leader who had already passed away.
Could it be that the previous Sect Leader wanted to kill the child of his master and mistress?
Why was that?
Wu was confused.
Wu asked suspiciously, "Mistress, could it be that you're talking about the previous Sect Leader?"
Seeing that she had guessed it, Lan Yu did not hide it and coldly snorted, "Who else could it be other than him? That old thing actually tried to kill my newborn son for a groundless reason. "
Lan Yu's eyes burst out with intense flames of hatred.
Wu was shocked. Master's wife bluntly called the previous Sect Leader an old thing. It seemed that the conflict between the two was not ordinary.
However, this also aroused Wu Qianglie's curiosity. Even if there were too many secrets that could not be revealed to outsiders, she still wanted to understand the truth of the matter.
"Mistress, why would the old Sect Leader do such a cruel thing to a baby?"
Lan Yu stared straight at Wu and asked, "Wu, why do I feel that you're a little strange today? Why did you think of asking this question?"
"I was just asking on a whim."
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "I raised you since you were young, how could I not understand you? Are you hiding something from me? "
After he finished speaking, his eyes were bright and full of expression, giving off a feeling that he could see through one's heart.
Wu panicked and hurriedly covered it up, "Mistress, why would I hide it from you?"
"Hehe, you still want to lie to me? If you don't say it, I can directly go to your master and ask. You've never hidden anything from him since you were young. I believe he will definitely know." Lan Yu said.
"Don't go looking for Master." Wu couldn't help but regret his curiosity. Regarding the matter of Tang Zheng, since his master had kept everyone else in the dark, there must be a reason for it.
If Mistress were to personally ask and Master refused to tell her, then the already fragile relationship between the two of them would become fragmented.
As someone who had been with them for dozens of years, Wu was naturally clear about the relationship between the two of them. Although the two of them were husband and wife, there was not much difference in the eyes of ordinary people. In reality, the relationship between the two of them was extremely tense and they had been separated for many years.
Wu did not want to make things difficult for his master, nor did he want his married life to be affected because of this.
Moreover, she thought of another possibility. Since Master could not let Tang Zheng willingly return to the Martial Sect, what would happen if Mistress were to make a move?
With that thought, hope reignited in Wu's heart. Since that was the case, then telling Mistress about this might allow things to turn around.
Even if her master scolded her in the future, she would willingly accept it.
"Mistress, there's something I want to tell you. Take a look at this photo first?" Wu opened a photo on his phone. It was Tang Zheng.
Lan Yu looked at the photo in a daze and asked suspiciously, "Who is he?"
"His name is Tang Zheng, and he is a cultivator." Wu stared at her, hoping to catch the slightest change in her expression.
"Cultivator?" Lan Yu frowned suspiciously and said solemnly, "Wu, show him to me. Who exactly is he? It can't be as simple as a cultivator, right?"
"Mistress, the missions I've been carrying out these past few days are all related to him. He's a newly risen cultivator, and his strength is already higher than mine."
"How is that possible? Under your master's nurturing, it took you so many years to achieve what you have today, but he is a cultivator. In the current situation where cultivators are facing such a huge predicament, how could he have such a high cultivation? "Lan Yu questioned.
Although she usually did not care about the affairs of the Martial Sect, she was naturally not unfamiliar with the situation of cultivators.
"I don't understand either. Maybe he's the legendary genius cultivator who was born for cultivation. The first time I saw him, he was still very weak, but a few months later, he surpassed me. I can't explain the whole story, and according to the investigation, he hasn't even been cultivating for a full year."
"What? Not even a year?" Lan Yu was shocked, disbelief hanging between her brows, "Impossible, how can there be such a cultivation genius in this world?"
Wu also didn't want to believe it, but the truth was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it.
"But this is absolutely true," Li Tianlan said.
Lan Yu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Although this was inconceivable, she knew that Wu would not lie to her, so she continued to ask: "Wu, why didn't your master kill such a genius?"
"I don't know either, but the Sect Master's order is to let him return to the Martial Sect willingly. Also, he has a jade pendant with the word 'Martial' engraved on it. The Sect Master said that it belongs to the Martial Sect."
"Jade pendant." "This jade pendant is the most precious treasure of the Martial Sect, only the Sect Master and the successor of the Sect Master have the qualifications to wear it. Back then, it was lost in your master's hands, and because of this, he was almost expelled from the Martial Sect by that old man. How could it be on a cultivator?"
"Could it be that Master put it on him back then?" Wu thought of a possibility and said hurriedly.
Lan Yu's expression changed greatly, turning pale white, her body also trembling, she grabbed Wu's hand and said: "You're saying that it might be your master who put it on him?"
Seeing Master's wife's huge reaction, Wu was shocked and said resentfully, "This is only my guess. Only Master knows what the real situation is."
Lan Yu's heart was in turmoil. Scenes after scenes of memories flashed through her mind like a movie.
"That year, it was after that incident that he lost that jade pendant. That jade pendant had always been worn by him, and he would not even take it off when he bathed or slept. Why would he lose it for no reason? Back then, I was immersed in the pain of losing my son, so I did not notice this abnormal situation. No, what happened back then was definitely not that simple. I must find him and ask him clearly. "
Lan Yu's heart rose and fell as she thought silently.
Seeing that his wife's expression was changing and becoming more and more agitated, Wu hurriedly asked: "Mistress, what happened to you?"
Lan Yu hurriedly said: "Send this photo to me immediately, I want to ask your master clearly."
"Isn't Master in closed door cultivation? No one is to disturb him. "Wu said worriedly.
