(Second chapter, look carefully, there is still a chapter ahead!)
Yu Shu raised her head and met Yun Hua's gaze. She always felt that his kind gaze at this time was more like a hint: Child, I know who you are. I just don't want to expose you.
What should she say? Now she was the one asking for help. She was also the one who needed Yun Hua to save her life. If she did not confess, did she want Yun Hua to guess her thoughts?
Yu Shu was tongue-tied. When she thought about it, she broke into a cold sweat. Her decision to stay here today was practically digging a hole for herself. As long as Yun Hua threw the bait in his hand into the hole, she would not need to do anything else, and she would willingly jump into the hole.
“.....”
Seeing that she lowered her head and pondered, Yun Hua put down his pen.
Yu Shu did not think for long. Why would Yun Hua tell her everything he knew? He had already shown enough sincerity. Now it was her turn to be honest with him.
She had two choices. One was to confess her identity as the Life Breaker. The other was to mention Daoist Qing Zheng. This was originally a very easy choice. Compared to the identity of a junior in the same faction, the Life Breaker was obviously much more important. However, she was not sure which point Yun Hua had guessed.
Yu Shu quickly went through the conversation between the two of them in her mind. She already had a plan in her heart. She took a deep breath and said, "Mister, you have great foresight. Yes, I came here to save my life."
Yun Hua raised his hand and motioned for her to continue.
"Mister, aren't you curious how we know that you are still alive?"
Yun Hua smiled and wrote, 'Although I live here in seclusion, I am not completely ignorant of the capital. I have heard that the Goddess of Dayan can tell the difference between life and death.'
Yu Shu thought, 'As expected, Yun Hua is not ignorant of the outside world, especially the people around Jing Chen. It is impossible for him to be indifferent.'
"Mister, have you heard that there have been several murders in Taishi Shuyuan in the past six months? The two female students who were killed are all related to Jing Chen. "
Yun Hua nodded.
Yu Shu observed his expression and found that he was frank, without the slightest hint of guilt. She did not know if he was pretending or if it really had nothing to do with him.
"I've known Jing Chen for a long time. Both of us saved each other's lives. I won't tell you the details of his life, but I know most of it. I believe that Mister also knows what I know. "
At this point, Yu Shu changed the topic, "In this year's Dayan Examination, Astrology will be tested. It was the same question from twenty years ago. I coincidentally obtained Mr. Yun Hua's examination paper. Do you still remember what was written at that time? "
Yun Hua looked dazed for a moment.
Yu Shu didn't wait for his reply. Instead, she recited the sentence to herself, "There will be a son in his year. Great fortune will bring misfortune."
"Sir probably didn't calculate it at the time. This troublemaker will be the child of you and Princess Luyue. "
A bitter expression finally appeared on Yun Hua's face.
Yu Shu sighed in her heart. Fate made fools of people. Yun Hua came to the capital for the Book of Mystery Woman's Six Rens, but in the end, his biological son became a key figure in this.
"Jing Chen finished his apprenticeship at Mount Longhu last year and happened to meet me. Later, he was plotted against and exiled on the river to save me. Because I had to attend the examination, I brought him to the capital with me … "
Yu Shu didn't care how much Yun Hua knew about Jing Chen's experience. She only objectively told him what she had experienced together. Finally, she returned to the murder case at Taishi Shuyuan.
"Two people died at Taishi Shuyuan. They were both female students taught by Jing Chen. We suspect that the murderer and the one who plotted against Jing Chen in Jiangnan are the same group of people. Those people know that Jing Chen is the troublemaker. Because they couldn't do anything after he entered the capital, they targeted another key figure, which is the 'Life Breaker' recorded in an ancient book. "
Yun Hua suddenly looked up at her.
Yu Shu didn't hide. "I don't know how that group of people judged, but they targeted the women who were close to Jing Chen. Two people were murdered one after another. However, the murderer is elusive and is still at large. As you can see, I have a deep friendship with Jing Chen. I'm afraid that those people have already targeted me and are waiting for the opportunity to attack me."
"I don't want to die, so I came to see you, sir, and ask you to give me some guidance. May I ask if you know where the saying 'troublemaker' came from? Did you fake your death and escape from the capital have anything to do with this? Did your master ask you to find an ancient book called the Book of Mystery Woman's Six Rens? "
After going around in a big circle, she finally got down to business.
Yun Hua looked at her for a while with an inexplicable expression. He lowered his head and wrote, "Who told you about the Book of Mystery Woman's Six Rens?"
Yu Shu's expression was natural. She was afraid that he would see through her, "The Great Teacher told Jing Chen like this. It was recorded in the Book of Mystery Woman's Six Rens that there will be a troublemaker in the Da 'an Dynasty every hundred years. The fate is related to the survival of the world. It must be broken by the Life Breaker. If it is a man, he must be killed. If it is a woman, she must marry and have children. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos and the prosperity will be destroyed. Isn't that so?"
There was a hint of mockery in Yun Hua's eyes again. He nodded and then shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Yu Shu didn't understand.
He then wrote on the paper, "Yes and no."
Seeing that he stopped writing, Yu Shu quickly asked, "Then what is true and what is false?"
If Yun Hua didn't lie and he really had the Book of Mystery Woman's Six Rens, then he should have read the book too many times in the past twenty years. Compared to what Jing Chen found out from the Great Teacher, Yu Shu didn't know why she was more willing to believe that what Yun Hua said was the truth.
Yun Hua didn't intend to keep her in suspense. He quickly wrote on the paper,
"The saying of the troublemaker in the Da 'an Dynasty is true. The saying of the Life Breaker is false. If the Life Breaker is a man, he should indeed be killed. Killing him will solve all problems. If the Life Breaker is a woman, then — "
His pen stopped here. Yu Shu saw that he suddenly stopped writing at the crucial part. She suddenly became anxious. She stretched her neck and urged,
"Then what?"
"Please write quickly. Don't be anxious, okay?"
Amidst Yu Shu's silent shouts, the tip of Yun Hua's brush fell down again, but this time, another line appeared. 'Since you are not a person who destroyed your life, knowing too much will not benefit you. Young people, it is better not to be overly curious.'
Yu Shu wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he tease her like this? It was better not to say anything halfway!
Yun Hua saw all kinds of subtle reactions from her. He felt sad and didn't want to argue with her anymore, lest he made things worse. So, he picked up his pen again. He wrote two lines and handed them to her.
"My child is stubborn. Think about it carefully. If I wanted to harm your life, why would I be so long-winded with you? "
Yu Shu was stunned.
Yun Hua smiled silently. He put down his pen, put the dozen or so pieces of paper he had written on together, and put them in a small basin under the stone table. He lit it and ignited it. After a while, ashes floated in the air.
It wasn't until the papers in the basin were burned to ashes that Yu Shu came back to her senses. She stared at Yun Hua with a complicated expression.
At this point, if she still didn't know that she had exposed herself, she would really be a pig. It turned out that Yun Hua had already seen through her that she was the Life Breaker. The reason why he patiently accompanied her in such a big circle was to let her let down her guard and admit it herself.
Yu Shu was very depressed, but she was also convinced. No wonder Yun Hua had the ability to find the Book of Fantasy Fairy's Six Rens and escape. With this kind of scheming, even if there were ten of her, she wouldn't be able to catch up.
There was only one thing that puzzled her. She wore the treasure of the Seven Stars Ruler with her. How could Yun Hua predict her?
If she wanted to know the answer, she had to confess to Qing Zheng, who gave her the black ring. Yu Shu couldn't make up her mind. Yun Hua's family was broken up because of the old man. Would he bear a grudge and vent his anger on her?
"Your master." Yu Shu carefully looked at his face and said, "He asked you to do such a dangerous thing and caused you to fall into such a situation. Don't you blame him? As you said, he taught you all your skills, so he should be more capable. You left your hometown for him, but he couldn't protect your wife and child. "
Yun Hua's face darkened. He wrote —
"I chose to go to the capital on my own that day. The master didn't force me."
Yu Shu pondered over his two sentences and found that he only answered half of it. He didn't explain why the old man Qing Zheng didn't save his wife and child in time. Obviously, he was deliberately avoiding this point.
She felt that there was something strange about it. Before she figured it out, it was better not to recognize this senior apprentice brother for the time being.
Since the truth had been revealed, there was only a layer of paper left. It was meaningless to hide it. Yu Shu simply admitted it.
"Sir, you have confirmed that I am the person who broke my life. I have nothing to hide anymore, but I have a request. Please promise me, sir."
Yu Shu looked at Yun Hua sincerely. If he didn't promise, she would kneel down and beg him.
Yun Hua nodded while grinding the ink and changing the paper.
"Sir, please lend me the Book of Fantasy Fairy's Six Rens."
Yun Hua seemed to be waiting for her to say this. Without waiting for her to finish speaking, he wrote on the paper. 'As the saying goes, it's a fair deal. I can lend you the book, but you have to do one thing for me.'
Yu Shu cursed in her heart. Indeed, Qing Zheng's disciple loved to give tasks to others.
She didn't agree in a hurry, so that she wouldn't be tricked again. She asked cautiously, "What is it?"
— 'As I said before, my eldest son's whereabouts have been unknown for many years. Not long ago, I just got some clues. Please look for him on my behalf and bring him to me. At that time, I will definitely keep my promise.'
Yu Shu frowned. She thought to herself, 'What can I do about an unlucky child that you haven't found for more than ten years?'
"Sir, you are making things difficult for me," she said. "I heard from Zhao Xiaozhu that you have an adopted son who is highly skilled in martial arts. Why don't you let them look for him? I am now in the capital, and there is no lack of spies around me. If I am not careful, I will be targeted, and it will be very inconvenient for me to move around. "
— 'They have other things to do. Right now, I can only trust you. Moreover, I will not let you work for nothing. If you are willing to look for him for me, in addition to promising to let you read the Book of Fantasy Fairy's Six Rens after this, I will tell you a big secret in exchange. Are you willing? '
Yu Shu rolled her eyes. When she saw that he was still trying to bargain, she subconsciously wanted to fight for more benefits. She saw Yun Hua squinting at her and smiling. His expression seemed to be saying, "You're right.
'Think about it. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it again.'
She thought that this person was not someone she could fool. When she came back to her senses, she had already nodded in agreement.
Yun Hua looked at her with satisfaction. He wrote down the big secret he had told her, turned around, and pushed it in front of her. Yu Shu quickly looked down. After reading it, a big word appeared in her mind: Worth it!
— 'Emperor Anwu left behind a posthumous edict and ancestral teachings. All the emperors of Da' an were chosen from the Book of Fantasy Fairy's Six Rens. '
