She quietly went out, evading everyone's line of sight, and silently appeared in front of — — Her gaze was like the stars in the night, as if nothing in the world could escape her eyes. "Back then, you, Nanhuangzong and the Northern Emperor Sect, put on a show to conceal the eyes and ears of the world. I have to say, the performance was quite successful. At least, after that, you came to Celestial Dragon City under the instruction of Nanhuangzong. Your task was to quietly bring Celestial Dragon City, the capital of Tenryū Province, into Nanhuangzong's control. With the power that Nanhuangzong possesses, this is indeed not a difficult task. And you've been very successful all these years. Even if it was me, it would be difficult to accomplish what you've accomplished in three years. "
"…" Shui Mengchan's slender eyebrows moved slightly. Three years? Everything that Shui Mengchan has set up in Celestial Dragon City took nearly ten years. His words of 'three years', from the mouth of others, was contemptuous, but from his mouth, it was a different kind of praise.
"And what made me suspicious was that three years after I fell into the Broken Soul Abyss, Long Yin still hasn't died. And all of this points to the fact that you really want to marry Long Yin. Indeed, with this method, you … or Nanhuangzong could control Celestial Dragon City and even Tenryū Province in the shortest amount of time. But even if you don't use this method, with Nanhuangzong's strength and the arrangements you've made over the years, it would only take a little more effort and time to reach that level. But you still chose the former, intending to marry you to Long Yin. This is completely out of line with what I expected back then. The dignified Nanhuang Suzerain, in order to save some effort, did not hesitate to marry his own daughter to a man who is old enough to be her father. Is this really normal? "
Shui Mengchan: "…"
"Her father set up a trap when she was only a few years old. He decided that she would marry Long Yin to fulfill Nanhuangzong's ambitions. A few years later, he sent you to Heavenly Dragon City and rarely returned home. Is this normal? "
Shui Mengchan: "…"
"If you really are his only daughter, how could he do this? At the very least, a normal father would not abandon his underage daughter thousands of miles away. It was hard to imagine. That's what made me suspicious in the first place. If you weren't his daughter, all of this would be much easier to explain … If it were me, I would also throw away the 'daughter' who isn't my daughter. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. "The corners of Ye Wuchen's mouth curled up into a mysterious smile.
"Later on, I happened to find out that those who have the blood of the Southern Emperor or the Northern Emperor will always be loyal to their ancestors and will never disobey the orders left by their ancestors. That's how the speculation in my heart started to form. " At this point, Ye Wuchen's tone changed. He raised his head and enjoyed Shui Mengchan's pleasing figure. "I've already told you everything honestly. Isn't it your turn to tell me what you know? Some things can not only help you but also help me if you tell me. "
Ye Wuchen changed to a more comfortable position and listened attentively.
"Human nature … It turns out that the truth of many things is actually hidden in the most ordinary and easily overlooked things." Recalling her childhood to adulthood, she had really overlooked a lot of things subconsciously. If she could be as scheming as Ye Wuchen, perhaps when she was very young, she could have discovered something from her mother's abnormality, her 'father's' abnormality, and many other abnormalities.
It was because they were her 'family'. They were the people that she should trust the most and did not need to suspect anything. She had always been living in a fake world.
She started to tell him everything from her return to Nanhuangzong to her encounter with Shui Yuntian. She told him everything that Shui Yuntian told her. She told him everything in great detail without missing a single word. These days, Shui Mengchan's heart had been entangled with these things. Even her dreams were filled with Shui Yuntian's miserable appearance and his resentful words. Even if she wanted to forget, she could not.
As she spoke, Ye Wuchen's expression changed quietly. From the faint smile at the beginning, to calmness, and then to deep thought. He was searching for every bit of information that he could use.
When Shui Mengchan finished her story, Ye Wuchen also fell into complete silence. The relaxed expression from before was gone. He sighed softly and said, "A corrupted human heart is always so scary." His voice paused and his gaze turned to his left, "Now, do you believe me?"
Shui Mengchan was slightly taken aback. She immediately realized that Ye Wuchen wasn't talking to her. As she looked around, the screen carved from purple wood was pushed open, and a person rushed out. This was a young man who was about the same age as Ye Wuchen. His height was similar to Ye Wuchen's as well, and his face was pink and pale. His handsome face faintly exuded a feminine aura, which made people think of him as a playful son of a certain influential family. However, at this moment, his eyes were hazy, and his lips were purple from biting. Under extreme shock and rage, he showed a nearly uncontrollable posture.
"Sister, is all of this real? Is it real … "He asked Shui Mengchan with a cold and trembling voice. Although he no longer had any doubts …
"Wu Que, why are you here!?" Shui Mengchan shouted in shock. Because he was actually her younger brother, Shui Wu Que, who was always "idling around"! And he was hiding behind the screen. He was so close to her but she didn't notice him at all.
He didn't dare to believe everything that Ye Wuchen said to Shui Wu Que previously. Even if he didn't want to believe what Shui Mengchan said, he believed it completely. Because it was his sister who said it herself. Different from Shui Mengchan, he felt more hatred and heart-wrenching pain. The feeling of being deceived and toyed with was very faint … Because after all, the "father-son relationship" between him and Shui Yunlan was very indifferent. He didn't even want to see Shui Yunlan as a father. To him, his only family members were his sister and mother. Those uncles, uncles, elders … They didn't like him because of his rebellious ways. He also didn't want to be associated with them. His friends in the sect were only those companions who were willing to follow him out to adventure.
"I was the one who brought him here. I spent quite a bit of effort. I'm guessing that if it wasn't for you, Wu Que would have come to find me three years ago. "Ye Wuchen said with a smile.
