Chapter 238 Peach Blossom Granny (Part )

Granny Taohua's words were like a bolt from the blue, a blow to the head, which shocked Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen. All the speculations in their hearts were destroyed in an instant, and the countless thoughts in their minds turned into dreams and bubbles, leaving only a blank.

"Senior Ye passed away more than 20 years ago?" Liu Xunyi's facial muscles trembled slightly, and an inexplicable shock and astonishment appeared in his eyes. He trembled and muttered to himself, "If Senior Ye is dead, then who was the person we saw in Taohuawu yesterday?"

"I also want to know who he is?" Granny Taohua said angrily, "I came to Chenzhou this time because I heard that someone used my husband's name to imitate the 'willow leaf copper coin' and invited all the martial arts sects to come. I don't know what the meaning is? So I came to find out who is so bold?"

"This……"

For a moment, Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen were speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Granny Taohua stared at a cup of tea on the table, a hint of red quietly welling up in the corners of her eyes. Unconsciously, she seemed to be deeply immersed in memories, and said with a sad tone: "Life is short and impermanent, so we should know how to cherish the people in front of us... Sometimes, a turn means a lifetime of separation. I met Ye Tong at the best age of my life. The years I spent with him were the happiest and happiest days of my life. Because we were young and energetic at that time, we didn't know how to cherish each other. We said goodbye in anger at a disagreement, but we didn't expect that this separation would last for decades... When we parted, the lotus was out of the water and the jade tree was handsome, but when we met again... he was old and faded, with thin leaves and withered flowers..."

Granny Taohua was very affectionate and her heartfelt words made Liu Xunyi, Xunzhen and Pan Yuyin fall into deep thought at the same time.

They are still young, and do not know that time flies by like a white horse, and do not understand that life is short and impermanent. But when they look at Granny Taohua in front of them, with her silver hair, hunched body, declining health, and aging, their hearts still stir with thousands of ripples and thoughts.

"What are you fighting for? What are you fighting for?" Granny Taohua said with a bitter smile, "Until the moment of death, I realized that fame and fortune are like passing clouds, which you can't bring with you when you are born and can't take with you when you die. When I suddenly realized it, I realized that the person I should cherish most in this life, I didn't have time to cherish him. The things I should do most, I no longer have the chance to do. Your Senior Ye... is like this."

Facing the tearful Granny Peach Blossom, Liu Xunyi felt as if his heart was being pulled by someone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xunyi finally mustered up the courage to ask softly, "How did Senior Ye... die?"

"The world is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us." Granny Taohua wiped away her tears with her sleeves and said bitterly, "Do you know why he suddenly resigned from the position of the head of Kunlun and came to Jueqing Valley alone to find me?"

"Because Senior Ye had a sudden realization and wanted to make up for the mistakes he made to Granny Taohua..."

"Yes, but not entirely." Granny Taohua shook her head and interrupted Xunzhen, saying calmly, "In fact, when he left Kunlun Sect, he found out that he had a terminal illness and didn't have much time left. That's why he wanted to see me one last time before he died."

"This……"

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Xunzhen looked sad and solemn, while Pan Yuyin burst into tears.

Liu Xunyi's mind was complicated, his brows knitted, and hesitantly said: "Grandma Taohua is the world's number one doctor, is there any incurable disease in the world that Grandma Taohua can't cure?"

"What miracle doctor? I can heal myself but I can't heal myself."

Granny Taohua still seems to feel guilty about that past event. She said sadly, "More than 20 years ago, Ye Tong suddenly came to Jueqing Valley. His appearance surprised and delighted me, but also made me feel wronged and sad. I was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't help myself. I talked with him for three days and three nights. He expressed his longing for me and begged me to forgive his arrogance and willfulness when he was young. I knew that he sincerely repented, so I decided to reconcile with him and planned to spend the rest of my life with him in peace to make up for the lost decades. In fact, I have been waiting for him for decades, waiting for the day when he regretted it, waiting for the day when he came to find me... In my heart, I have never really let him go. I was even worried that he couldn't find me in the vast world, so I lived in Jueqing Valley all the time, curing diseases and saving people while silently paying attention to him. I didn't hide my whereabouts. At that time, everyone in the world knew that Granny Taohua lived in Jueqing Valley. I did this... just to let him know my whereabouts, hoping that he would come to Jueqing Valley to find me as soon as possible."

Before Granny Peach Blossom finished her words, two lines of tears had already rolled down silently.

Not only Xunzhen and Pan Yuyin, but even Liu Xunyi were deeply moved by Granny Taohua's infatuation. His mood fluctuated with every word Granny Taohua said, and he felt very sad.

Granny Taohua ignored the reactions of the three people. At this moment, she was already deeply immersed in the memories of the past, and she narrated: "Just when I was happily preparing to spend the rest of my life with him and carefully preparing for our future happy life, I suddenly realized that he often secretly cooked medicine without my knowledge and often practiced self-healing in the middle of the night. It was not until then that I realized that he was suffering from a terminal illness and that he would not live long. Before, he had been pretending to be fine and pretending to be fine in front of me, but I was overjoyed by his arrival and forgot everything else, and then I was completely unaware of his illness. Now I think about it, I was really too confused back then. If I could have discovered it earlier, maybe I would have had more time to study his illness. Alas!"

"Master, what happened next?" Pan Yuyin asked in tears.

"Later, I tried my best, read through ancient medical books, tried all kinds of medicinal herbs, and closed the door to visitors, just to cure his illness." Granny Taohua laughed self-deprecatingly, "Unfortunately, no matter what means I used, no matter how many methods I used, I was ultimately powerless to save him. Ye Tong's illness not only did not improve, but it got worse, his body became weaker and weaker, day by day... In the end, he took the initiative to give up treatment and begged me to take me to travel around the mountains and rivers, and to complete him in the few days he had left..."

Having said this, Granny Taohua was already in tears, choking with sobs as she sobbed, "To fulfill the promise he made to me when he was young..." After saying this, Granny Taohua could no longer suppress her inner grief and burst into tears with her face covered.

"So you left the Jueqing Valley together and disappeared from the world of martial arts from then on." Xunzhen said thoughtfully.

"That's right." Granny Taohua took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and murmured heartbreakingly, "After we left Jueqing Valley, we traveled around together. Every day, every hour, every moment of those three months... I still can't forget it. At that time, it was as if we had returned to the days when we were full of vigor and vitality, traveling through mountains and rivers, laughing and talking about love and romance, and feeling so comfortable."

“But the good times didn’t last long. Just three months later, Senior Ye passed away.” Liu Xunyi sighed.

"Yes." Granny Taohua nodded, "After my husband left, I decided not to practice medicine in this life. What's the use of having excellent medical skills? What's the use of being a miraculous doctor? Those are just empty names. I can't even cure my own husband's illness, so what's the point of practicing medicine? What's the point of saving people? I have saved so many people, but I couldn't save my husband's life..." "Back then, Ye Tonghuaying was called 'one death and one life'." Xunzhen interrupted, "Senior Ye killed one person, and Granny Taohua saved one person. But I never expected that when Senior Ye stopped killing people, Granny Taohua would stop saving people. Alas!"

"I studied medicine when I was young because I loved it, but later I became a doctor to save people in order to make up for the blood debts committed by my husband." Granny Taohua said earnestly, with a lonely look on her face, "I believe in karma and reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded. My husband has killed so many people in his life, and he will definitely be punished in the future. I can't take the blame for him, so I can only save one person after another to accumulate virtue for my husband."

Liu Xunyi was deeply impressed by Granny Taohua's words.

Huaying has almost never thought about herself in her life, and she lives completely for Ye Tong. When Ye Tong makes mistakes, she makes up for him bit by bit in secret. Even when Ye Tong is unruly and sneers at her, Huaying still waits for him in the Jueqing Valley.

This deep love is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea. How many couples in the world can truly do this?

It’s a pity that fate is unpredictable and destiny plays tricks on people. Such a pair of infatuated lovers could only enjoy three short months of happiness in the end.

"Then... why did Master resume his medical practice after meeting me?" Pan Yuyin asked tearfully, "Not only did he cure my mother, but he also accepted me as his disciple and taught me medical skills."

Pan Yuyin's words immediately attracted curious glances from Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen.

Granny Taohua looked at Pan Yuyin with loving eyes. She was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "Forget it! Since I have a connection with you, it's okay to tell you all those trivial things."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but look delighted.

Granny Taohua calmed down her thoughts and said thoughtfully, "Yuyin, I actually accepted you as my apprentice for three reasons. First, because you are filial and willing to sacrifice yourself to save your mother. I am deeply moved by this. Second, you have a similar personality to a patient I saved in the past. Back then, I always regarded her as my granddaughter, so I loved you as well."

"The patient you saved?" Xunzhen frowned slightly and asked curiously, "May I ask who it was?"

"It doesn't matter who she is." Granny Taohua shook her head slowly and said, "In fact, there is another more important reason why I insisted on accepting Yuyin."

"Appreciate further details?"

"Third, Yuyin is actually the disciple of an old friend of mine, and I owe this old friend... a huge favor." Granny Taohua's eyes sparkled, and she said faintly, "It was nearly sixty years ago. At that time, I was only in my twenties, and had just separated from Ye Tong. I was wandering alone, but I accidentally met a man who was nearly dying because of his obsession with practicing martial arts, and his body and mind were exhausted, so that his meridians were destroyed and his five internal organs were injured. It took me two full years to heal him. Later, he adopted me as his daughter, and in order to repay me for saving his life, he promised to do something for me ten years later."

"what's up?"

"Educate Ye Tong." Granny Taohua said bluntly, "My husband was bloodthirsty and warlike back then. He fought with others almost every day, like a devil and a madman. Especially after he succeeded as the head of Kunlun Sect, he believed himself to be invincible, unruly and arrogant. If it weren't for my adoptive father's intervention, Ye Tong would have died tragically in the battles in the martial arts world. How could he have lived to see the day when we reconciled?"

"Your foster father..."

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered something in a trance. He murmured thoughtfully: "I heard Brother Chen mention that although Senior Ye challenged the heroes of the world back then, he was not invincible. There was a man who took the initiative to find Kunlun Sect and fight with Senior Ye. Not only did he defeat him easily, but he also taught him a lesson. After that, Senior Ye's temperament changed drastically and he eventually became a master. And the person who taught Senior Ye back then seemed to be Master Kongsheng of Shaolin Temple. Could it be that Master Kongsheng..."

"It was my adoptive father." Granny Taohua confessed, "When I saved him, he had not yet shaved his head. After he recovered, I parted ways with him and never saw him again. But my adoptive father always remembered his promise to me, and ten years later he really went to Kunlun Mountain to teach Ye Tong. Later, I made a special trip to Shaolin to find out the truth, and only then did I know that Master Kongsheng was my adoptive father. Unfortunately, when I went to Shaolin to look for my adoptive father, he had already left Shaolin and was traveling around."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen were both surprised and didn't know what to say.
"Master, Master Kongsheng and I have no relationship, so how could I become his disciple?" Pan Yuyin frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

"Who is your grandfather?" Granny Taohua asked instead of answering.

"My grandfather?" Pan Yuyin was stunned and replied subconsciously, "My grandfather is Pan Chuba, but my grandfather doesn't seem to know any Master Kong Sheng..."

"Who is your grandfather's master?" Granny Taohua asked again without waiting for Pan Yuyin to explain.

"Master? Mr. Pan Ba ​​came from the 'Guihai Dao Sect', so his master is naturally..."

Having said this, Liu Xunyi's voice stopped abruptly, his expression suddenly changed, and an expression of disbelief and horror instantly flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that... Master Kongsheng of Shaolin is the last leader of the 'Guihai Dao Sect', Musheng?"
