As soon as he said that, the entire place quietened down.
Everyone's gaze turned to Liu Tianzong, wanting to get an answer from him.
They already knew about Liu Hui's matter when they were at the Qingdan House.
At that time, they had an intense argument with Lu Yu over this matter.
Actually, it could be seen that Lu Yu was not a person who harbored evil intentions towards Liu Hui. It was just that among so many people present, only he understood the situation better.
Regarding Liu Hui's ungrateful act of seizing power, he did not display the same anger and disdain as the others. He even mocked Liu Hui.
His attitude was obviously one of helplessness and heartache. At the same time, he also sincerely hoped that Liu Hui didn't do anything outrageous!
The argument back then did not come to any conclusion.
Therefore, they first needed to find out the truth from Liu Tianzong's mouth!
As the Master of the Liu Clan and the person who had adopted Liu Hui, if even he did not know about all of this, then it could only mean one thing.
That was, Liu Hui had indeed become a traitor!
Of course, this was the situation that everyone was most unwilling to see. Although they had full confidence in Liu Hui, only the words that came out of Liu Tianzong's mouth could possibly be the final answer that they wanted to know the most!
"You guessed correctly!"
Liu Tianzong's words made everyone's hearts relax.
It seemed that their conjecture was not wrong! Their trust was not given to the wrong person!
"Father, what are the specific details? Can you tell me about it? "
While Liu Fu and Liu Rong heaved a sigh of relief, they also became extremely interested in this matter. They also wanted to know what exactly had happened from their father's mouth!
"Actually, the matter is very simple!"
Liu Tianzong replied, "Not long after Lv Yuanlong proclaimed himself emperor, after he found out about the other party's' repayment 'to our Liu family, he knew that the other party would very likely burn the bridge after crossing it. Therefore, he immediately gave up on his alchemy cultivation in the Qingdan House and came back to help me overcome the crisis! "
The "reward" he mentioned should be referring to the fact that Lv Yuanlong didn't give any substantial reward, only a few empty titles.
Liu Hui had always been a very important descendant of Liu Tianzong. He had been by Liu Tianzong's side since he was young, so he had a keen sense of what this meant.
"After returning, he volunteered to be Lv Yuanlong's lackey!"
Liu Tianzong raised his head and sighed. There was a tinge of admiration and guilt in his voice. "Actually, how could I not know? By doing this, he was sacrificing himself so that I could retreat behind the scenes and completely avoid Lv Yuanlong's attacks! Lv Yuanlong would only feel at ease if I became someone who posed no threat to him. After all, we have been together for so long. They both understood each other very well. Lv Yuanlong knows the threat of keeping me alive, so he won't let me go! And Liu Hui is doing this to make the other party lower their guard! "
"Then isn't it very risky for him to do this?"
Qin Yi frowned and said, "If Lv Yuanlong feels that he's pretending, he's very likely to be finished off by the other party directly! Even if he successfully gained Lv Yuanlong's trust, under the circumstances where others are unaware, they might also carry out attacks on him! "
"This point, I know. He knows it too!"
Liu Tianzong shook his head and said, "So when he raised this suggestion in the beginning, I rejected it directly. But he still refused to give up and told me that only he was the most suitable person. Because he's a person who doesn't have any real blood relations with the Liu Family after all. His defection is the most reasonable. At the same time, it's also the easiest to make Lv Yuanlong feel that I'm incompetent, and he won't do anything to me! "
Liu Hui's words weren't wrong. After all, raising an ungrateful person would be the biggest joke. And only after such a joke would it be easier to make people believe it!
"Although I opposed it vehemently, in the end, I still couldn't support it."
Liu Tianzong closed his eyes slightly and sighed. His face was full of bitterness as he said, "Because, his action wasn't just to save me, but to save the entire Liu Family!"
Without a doubt, if it was only about his own life and death, Liu Tianzong would never agree to let the other party risk his life.
But if it was for the entire Liu Family, not to mention Liu Hui's life, even if he had to make a greater sacrifice, he wouldn't have the slightest bit of resentment!
"After that, he went to the palace, gained Lv Yuanlong's trust, and successfully became the person in charge of the Liu Family."
Liu Tianzong continued, "Then, under the scorn and ridicule of the entire world, he returned to the Liu Family and became Lv Yuanlong's lackey! Other than the two of us, in the entire Liu Family, only Uncle Liu knows about this. "
"Father, how is Uncle Liu now?"
At the mention of Uncle Liu, Liu Fu and her sister immediately reacted. Ever since they returned, they hadn't seen Uncle Liu.
Logically speaking, Uncle Liu was their father's most trusted subordinate. At a time like this, he should have stayed by Liu Tianzong's side to protect him.
Even if that wasn't the case, Uncle Liu would still come to visit frequently. Now that they had been back for so long, they still hadn't seen Uncle Liu.
This kind of situation made the two sisters feel a little uneasy!
Liu Tianzong answered, "In order to cooperate with Liu Hui, it would be easier to gain Lv Yuanlong's trust. Uncle Liu and Liu Hui put on a show in the family. In the end, Liu Hui severely injured Uncle Liu and imprisoned him! "
"Uncle Liu …"
Hearing this, Liu Fu and Liu Rong's faces were once again filled with tears.
The two sisters had been taken care of by Uncle Liu ever since they were young. Even when they went to the Brushing Willow Sect, Uncle Liu was sent to protect them.
It could be said that Uncle Liu was an elder that the two sisters deeply respected.
But now that they heard that he had made such a huge sacrifice for the family, they couldn't help but burst into tears!
"Actually, this isn't a big deal!"
Liu Tianzong shook his head. "The most important thing is to gain Lv Yuanlong's trust. At first, I thought we had done a good job. But now, from Liu Tianci's betrayal, we can see that Lv Yuanlong is still holding back from Liu Hui! "
If Lv Yuanlong truly trusted Liu Hui, then he would have told Liu Hui about someone like Liu Tianci. After all, they were on the same side, so it would be much easier to work together.
But as Liu Tianci surfaced, it was obvious that Liu Tianci had not done so. In other words, he had planted a pawn in the Liu Family without Liu Hui's knowledge.
