"… I was locked in the dark dungeon. Shui Yunlan indeed did not want to take my life, but on the first day, he used a technique he learned from someone and pricked dozens of needles into my head to make me lose my mind. He thought that I would definitely go mad, but a mixed-blood like him would not know that the successor of the Southern Emperor would never go mad or mute. Since he wanted me to go mad, I followed his wishes and pretended to be mad for over twenty years …"
"As for my grandfather … Three days later, he went to the secret chamber. At that time, my grandfather, who had been in seclusion, did not know what had happened outside. He did not suspect anything and passed on his Water Jade Technique to Shui Yunlan. However, halfway through, he noticed that something was wrong with the purity of Shui Yunlan's power and could not stop it. In the end, Shui Yunlan stepped into the God Realm, and my grandfather, whose Water Jade Technique had dissipated, was sealed to death by Shui Yunlan, creating the illusion that he had died from overexertion. At that time, when Shui Yunlan laughed maniacally in front of me and showed off to me, I wanted so badly to tear him apart … If I do not take revenge for this, I will not be at ease even if I reincarnate a hundred times!! "
After so many years, he could finally speak of the endless hatred in his heart to others. As he spoke to his daughter, the hatred seemed to spread to every corner of his body along with his voice. The desire for revenge, was stronger than ever.
"Without any suspense, he became the new Sect Leader of our sect, and under the cooperation of those people, he performed flawlessly. Not long after, he announced that Nanhuangzong no longer had the ambition to seclude himself from the world, and with a single call, hundreds responded. Since it was the Sect Leader's order, those who were originally loyal to Nanhuangzong could only follow the Sect Leader's orders. In the following years, those who were loyal to my father's words were gradually moved away from the core of the sect for various reasons, and were mainly controlled by those thirty people. They did not harm a single soldier, nor did they cause a civil war like the Northern Emperor Sect back then, but they held the power firmly in their hands. I have to admit, the plan that they had prepared for a few years was flawless. "
"If I do not take revenge for this, I am not human …" Shui Mengchan clenched the Water Jade in her hand tightly, her voice clear and calm, but with a bone-piercing coldness that had never been heard before.
"That's right … This blood feud must be avenged no matter how difficult it is! Chan 'er, your mother is weak by nature. For fear of hurting my life, she definitely won't tell you. Father was willing to endure for more than twenty years just to wait for this day to personally let you and Wuque know … Now, Father's wish has finally been fulfilled … Chan 'er, tell Wuque all of this and let him firmly remember it. Let him learn to endure like Father and wait for the day when the time comes. We are the successors of the Southern Emperor. The heavens will never abandon us … Also, tell him to be careful! "Shui Yuntian said in a low voice.
"… Could it be that they want to …" Shui Mengchan's heart skipped a beat.
"Hmph!" Shui Yuntian snorted resentfully, "How could they allow Wuque to become the next ruler of the Southern Emperor? Hence, what they have to do is to get rid of this' Young Master '."
Shui Mengchan was terrified. She knew what her father said was highly likely to happen.
She had already stayed here for a long time. The howling of the 'crazy man' had also stopped for a long time. The longer she stayed, the more dangerous it would be. Shui Yuntian said, "Chan 'er, hurry up and leave … Remember every word I said. You must remember … Protect Wuque and tell him to be careful …"
Shui Mengchan nodded her head vigorously and took a step back. She said firmly, "Father, wait for me … I will definitely get the Sword Of Emperor Nan and save you."
"The Sword Of Emperor Nan … Has it really appeared?" Shui Yuntian's breathing slowed down as he asked in a low voice.
Shui Mengchan nodded her head and then shook her head, "The Northern Emperor's Bow has already appeared. Its appearance means that the Sword Of Emperor Nan definitely exists. Although the Sword Of Emperor Nan hasn't appeared yet, there is someone who should know where it is. "
"That person, who is he?!" Shui Yuntian's body suddenly leaned forward, but he was restrained by the chains. This subconscious action of his exposed the throbbing and anxiety in his heart.
"He … He is the person who asked me to find father." Thinking of Ye Wuchen, Shui Mengchan's heart was in a mess. After tonight, the feeling he gave her was even more mysterious and unfathomable.
"The person who asked you to find me …" Shui Yuntian murmured. While he was in a daze, he started to gradually recall the strange words that Shui Mengchan said when she first came to him. Those words appeared in his mind, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Who is that person … How did he know that I am locked up here?" Shui Yuntian couldn't help but be shocked. This was a plan that was hidden from everyone in Nanhuangzong twenty-three years ago. How did that person who shouldn't belong to Nanhuangzong see through it?!
Ye Wuchen's figure appeared in Shui Mengchan's mind. He sat on the wheelchair and didn't have the dejection that a cripple should have. Instead, he had the confidence and composure of someone who was in control of everything. Suddenly, her vision blurred. She said softly, "His name is Ye Wuchen. He is younger than Wuque by two years …"
"…!!" Just this age alone was enough to make Shui Yuntian shocked.
At that moment, Shui Mengchan briefly and comprehensively described Ye Wuchen's identity and the earth-shattering deeds that he had done in the past. During the few times they had met, she had described everything in detail, especially the words that he had said. She had almost relayed everything that he had said to her in its entirety. Shui Yuntian listened quietly and didn't make any more movements. He was afraid that he would miss a single word.
However, even after listening to Shui Mengchan, he still couldn't understand. What did he rely on to determine that he was Shui Yuntian … Did he only know that Nanhuangzong was a "madman" that everyone in Nanhuangzong knew? Or was there something else that he didn't say … But at least, his deduction ability was unbelievably terrifying.
"He, is the owner of the Sword Of Emperor Nan!" Shui Yuntian suddenly said in an incomparably serious and solemn manner.
Shui Mengchan's eyes flickered. She thought for a while and said, "That year, when I first heard about the Sword Of Emperor Nan, I also had my suspicions. However, if he was really the owner of the Southern Emperor Sword, why didn't he reveal the sword directly? There is a rumor that everyone in the mainland knows. The owner of the Southern Emperor Sword will definitely be the owner that Nanhuangzong will follow forever. "
"Hehehehe … Chan 'er, he's the real wise one! At that time, he must have deduced that Nanhuangzong is a corrupted Nanhuangzong based on some signs. Since it has already corrupted, why would he still believe in that rumor? Chan 'er, you should have thought about it. Based on the actions and ambitions of those who control Nanhuangzong, what would be the consequence of him revealing the Sword Of Emperor Nan? "
"It would be … killing someone to take the sword." Shui Mengchan suddenly understood.
"That's right. So, he couldn't. Instead, he used a piece of paper with a drawing of the Sword Of Emperor Nan to test the whole Nanhuangzong."
"But, this doesn't mean that the Sword Of Emperor Nan is definitely with him." Shui Mengchan said softly. Although, she was already half convinced.
"It's very simple …" After washing his dirty hair, Shui Yuntian's eyes shone with excitement and agitation. "Three years … Since the Sword Of Emperor Nan really exists, who would be willing to keep it hidden for three years and not reveal it? Moreover, you said that he used a Fire Sword to kill a god three years ago … What kind of power could he use to instantly kill a god? As for the Fire Sword, why did the body of the sword burn with fire? He was hiding it. In that kind of situation, he was still hiding it. He didn't want others to know what kind of sword he had in his hand. "
Shui Mengchan's heart skipped a beat. Now that Shui Yuntian had pointed out all these things that she had neglected, her heart suddenly rippled.
"Could it be that he really is the owner of the Sword Of Emperor Nan …"
Shui Yuntian raised his head slightly and said coldly, "What I can think of, Shui Yunlan and many people in Nanhuangzong can also think of. Three years ago, they didn't dare to act rashly. On top of that, there was a three-year agreement that gave them peace of mind, so they didn't act rashly. But now, Ye Wuchen has returned. When they lose their patience, they will definitely make a move. "
Shui Mengchan's delicate eyebrows furrowed fiercely. She felt an inexplicable fear in the depths of her heart. "Then what should we do? If Ye Wuchen falls into their hands …"
"But … Heh, I'm actually not worried at all. A person with such a meticulous mind, how could he not expect this kind of situation to occur? Perhaps, he is waiting for them to find him. "Shui Yuntian said slowly. So many years of torture did not wear away his intelligence. Instead, it made his will as firm as a rock.
"For tens of thousands of years, the Sword of Emperor Nan and the Bow of the North Thearch have never appeared. That's because they have never been able to find someone worthy to be their master. Now, this person has appeared … To be recognized by the Sword Of Emperor Nan as its owner, he must be a shocking talent. Now that I think about it, it's normal for him to have that kind of intelligence. " Then, he softly muttered to himself, "But, to be recognized by the Sword Of Emperor Nan as its owner, would he really be a cripple who can only sit in a wheelchair?"
Shui Mengchan: "..."
"Hehe … Hehehehe, is this God's compensation to me … You took away 23 years of my life, but you also gave me a master that Nanhuangzong has been waiting for too long and my destiny … God really didn't abandon me, Nanhuangzong. Maybe … No, definitely, as long as I follow my master, I will definitely kill my enemy and revive Nanhuangzong in my lifetime!"
His originally hopeless heart suddenly reignited like dead ashes, burning crazily.
Shui Mengchan: "..."

A few days later, Shui Mengchan returned to Tianlong City. Compared to a few days ago, her state of mind had undergone an earth-shaking change. After returning to Tianlong City, the first person she wanted to see was Ye Wuchen. The world had been turned upside down. The life that had always been full of deceit made her heart ache. Indistinctly, she started to distrust and reject everyone around her. She didn't tell anyone about her meeting with Shui Yuntian that day. She didn't show any signs of abnormality in front of Shui Yunlan and her.
She knew the truth, but she was still herself. She couldn't find anyone around her to talk to. She couldn't find someone to rely on and help her. Even Shui Ling 'er, whom she trusted the most, didn't dare to reveal anything. Otherwise, once it was revealed, she knew the inevitable consequences.
Who could she talk to about the pain and helplessness in her heart? How could she take revenge for the hatred that was stabbed in her heart?
The only person she could think of was Ye Wuchen. When the world in her heart became completely unfamiliar, only he was still the same person. When she thought of him, her heart strangely calmed down.
