Chapter 892 Hate the Injustice
"Sister? Lost? What do these things have to do with us?" Ling Xiaoxiao became more and more confused as she listened, but she knew Qingfeng would not speak without a purpose, and would not talk about things that had nothing to do with her. In addition, she was curious, so she asked hesitantly, "What is the clue about Liu Xunyu?"

"Mo Cen's resignation ceremony was a godsend opportunity for Liu Xunyi to get close to Tian Jin." Qing Feng answered calmly, "When he was in Quanzhou, he accidentally met Bai Shuang from Su Shui Pavilion and mistook her for his long-lost sister."

"Bai Shuang..." Ling Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, thinking, "I have heard of her name. She is known as the 'most beautiful woman in Sushui Pavilion'. It is said that she is Lu Tingxiang's woman. Dad, these things... could it be that Lu Tingxiang told you?"

"Ordinary people know that family disgrace should not be made public, let alone the arrogant Lu Tingxiang?" Qingfeng snorted and laughed, "Qin Wei told me..."

"Isn't Qin Wei a member of the imperial court? How did he know about Bai Shuang..."

"Qin Wei's mistress is called Lan Qi, she used to be a courtesan in Sushui Pavilion, and she lived under the same roof with Bai Shuang for many years. These prostitutes love to gossip about others, and the fact that Liu Xunyi mistook Bai Shuang has long been an undisclosed secret. Lan Qi, who has always regarded Bai Shuang as a 'sister', naturally knows more than anyone else."

"Then... is Bai Shuang Liu Xunyi's sister?"

"If it's a 'mistaken identification', how could she be his sister?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I was confused." Ling Xiaoxiao patted her forehead with her hand and laughed bitterly at herself, "I just thought Liu Xunyi and Lu Tingxiang had something to do with each other, but now it seems... I was overthinking. Since Bai Shuang is not Liu Xunyi's sister, how could he have mistaken her?"

"Because Bai Shuang's appearance is very similar to that of the other woman." Qing Feng explained meaningfully, "I have seen both of them with my own eyes, but I didn't pay attention to them before. Now that I recall it...they are indeed amazingly similar."

Looking at Qingfeng's solemn words, Ling Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy for no reason.

"Who is the other woman that Dad mentioned? Could it be Liu Xunyu?"

"I think so! When Liu Xunyi met her, his reaction was very strange." Qingfeng recalled, "At the martial arts conference, Liu Xunyi's skills amazed everyone, but when he won the applause of everyone, he was suddenly forced to make a fool of himself by a woman with mediocre martial arts. What's even more incredible is that Liu Xunyi and this woman should have been strangers, but he held back and showed mercy in the sword-fighting arena. In the end, when he injured her, Liu Xunyi not only did not feel the joy of victory, but was listless like a defeated rooster, with no momentum at all..."

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao had guessed the woman's identity because she had heard of a similar competition from Yan Bugui.

The difference is that her focus at that time was not the process of the competition, but the result of the competition.

That's right! The woman Qingfeng was talking about was Yun Jianping. At the beginning, Ling Xiaoxiao inferred from Xiao Zhirou's selfless rescue of Yun Jianping that Yun Jianping was most likely the illegitimate daughter of Xiao Zhirou and Luo Tianjin.

Due to the shock at that time and the jealousy towards Xiao Zhirou and Yun Jianping, Ling Xiaoxiao had no intention of paying attention to the other protagonist of the competition, Liu Xunyi.

Today, Qing Feng revealed the secret, which made Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly enlightened, but also made her feel cold and confused.

Doubt, awakening, regret, anger, jealousy, unwillingness...all kinds of feelings gathered in his heart, making him confused and dazed. He stood there in a daze, allowing the breeze to call him again and again, but he was unable to respond.

"Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao..."

Under the repeated calls of Qingfeng, Ling Xiaoxiao, who was falling into the abyss, finally broke into pieces. The heart-wrenching pain mixed with humiliation and hatred gradually made her regain her lost reason. A wisp of jealousy was like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, trying its best to break free. It was also like a dragon emerging from the water, breaking through the endless chaotic sea and rushing straight into the sky.

Suddenly, Ling Xiaoxiao, with a blank look in her eyes and a dull expression, grabbed Qingfeng's sleeve and asked tremblingly, "If Yun Jianping is really Liu Xunyi's lost sister, then Liu Xunyi is... the bastard born by Brother Jin and Teng Rou?"

"Yes."

Qingfeng knew that no matter how tactful his words were at this moment, they could not offset the shock in Ling Xiaoxiao's heart. Rather than cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, it is better to cut the Gordian knot with a sharp knife. At least... it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. "Impossible... absolutely impossible..." Ling Xiaoxiao still couldn't believe what she heard. She covered her ears with her hands and shook her head repeatedly, "How could Liu Xunyi be the bastard of Brother Jin and Teng Rou? Coincidence! It must be a coincidence..."

"That day, the Deputy Privy Envoy was assassinated on his way home. If it weren't for my father's timely intervention, I'm afraid Mr. Qian would have died." Qingfeng suppressed his sympathy and looked at the terrified and helpless Ling Xiaoxiao, saying word by word, "Do you know who the assassin is? Why did he assassinate the Deputy Privy Envoy?"

"This……"

Ling Xiaoxiao stared blankly at Qingfeng, whose face was as gloomy as water. Her lips and teeth trembled violently. She wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. In the end, she didn't have the courage to say the next word.

"The assassin was Teng Rou. She assassinated the Deputy Privy Envoy because... Liu Xunyi's assassination attempt failed. Therefore, she wanted to avenge Liu Xunyi and help him fulfill his wish. However, Teng Rou and the Deputy Privy Envoy had never met before, so it was impossible for them to have any grudges..."

"boom!"

Qingfeng's direct words caused a sudden buzz in Ling Xiaoxiao's mind. For a moment, all the entanglements, doubts, confusion, and horror disappeared, leaving only the bitter grievance and endless shame and anger.

With the gentle narration of the breeze, or in other words, "patiently guiding", the confused Ling Xiaoxiao gradually saw the blue sky through the clouds and learned a shocking secret that she could not believe, or in other words... "shocking bad news".

Until this moment, Ling Xiaoxiao finally understood why the young king of Qin took the risk to rescue Liu Xunyi. She also understood what "trouble arises within the family" that made Qingfeng so worried meant.

If Liu Xunyi is really Luo Tianjin's orphan, the threat he brings will be enough to expose the lies carefully woven by Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao, and even destroy the new martial arts landscape they have worked so hard to create.

"Thinking about the cause and effect, and calculating the ages of Liu Xunyi and Yun Jianping, although there is no irrefutable evidence, I, your father, absolutely do not believe that there is such a coincidence in the world." Qingfeng said confidently, "Although Yun Zhuiyue tried her best to defend Xiao Zhirou, the more they cover up, the more it proves that they have something to hide. Your father guesses that Liu Xunyi... is most likely the illegitimate child of Luo Tianjin and Xiao Zhirou."

"Why?" Ling Xiaoxiao, who had lost all hope, suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. She fell to her knees with a plop, looking at the unconscious Luo Hongxuan with tears in her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears, "What did I do wrong? Why is God so mean to me? It was me who was always by Brother Jin's side, who took care of him wholeheartedly, and who served him meticulously... When he was in trouble, I tried my best to help him break through the shackles. When he was depressed, I did everything I could to help him relieve it. After more than 20 years of marriage, he is the only one in my heart. For For him, I can give up fame, wealth, dignity, and reserve... Why is he so heartless? Why am I the only one who suffers in the end? Why can that bitch Teng Rou win his heart without having to worry about anything or do anything? When Brother Jin was here, that bitch wanted to replace me. Now that Brother Jin is gone, she wants to take away everything that belongs to me! Now, my poor children are injured and sick, while the bastard of that bitch has survived many disasters and lives a happy life. God is really blind, there is no fairness in the world..."

"Xiaoxiao, calm down..." Looking at Ling Xiaoxiao who was beating her chest and stamping her feet in grief and anger, Qingfeng felt pain in his heart, "Don't get yourself hurt by anger..."

"Dad, how can you expect your daughter to remain calm in such a situation?" Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No wonder I didn't like Liu Xunyi at all when I first met him. Instead, I hated him from the bottom of my heart. It turns out that he has the blood of that bitch in his veins. I finally understand why Brother Jin has been so tolerant of Liu Xunyi and has shown special favoritism. It's because he sees the shadow of his youth in Liu Xunyi. I can only blame myself for not noticing it earlier and missing the opportunity to root it out. If I had been more resolute and ruthless at the beginning, how could Liu Xunyi be alive today?"

"Xiaoxiao..."

"Dad is right. If Xuan'er can't wake up soon, everything in the Xianwang Mansion will be snatched away by that bitch and the two bastards sooner or later. No! Absolutely not! Even if I, Ling Xiaoxiao, die, I will not let that bitch get what she wants!"

"I swear to heaven that I will never let this happen!" Qingfeng leaned over and took Ling Xiaoxiao, who was trembling all over, into his arms, saying lovingly, "Everything will be decided by your father. You don't have to worry about anything. I will help you solve all the problems. The Xianwang Mansion belongs to you and your son. Every brick, every blade of grass and every tree here belongs to you, Xuan'er and Yu'er. No one can take it away. No matter who it is, as long as they dare to have evil intentions towards you, an orphan and a widow, your father will tear them into pieces and grind their bones to scatter ashes."

When Qingfeng uttered the last sentence, a heart-pounding chill suddenly burst out from his tearful eyes.

"Dad!" Ling Xiaoxiao, who was at a loss, had a thought in her mind, her eyes suddenly changed, and she couldn't wait to say, "Don't tell anyone about this. Don't let anyone know that Liu Xunyi is Brother Jin's flesh and blood, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, Dad knows what to do." Qingfeng's expression eased, and he tried to comfort him. "In fact, as early as when Yun Zhuiyue covered up for Xiao Zhirou, I had already guessed that Liu Xunyi might be the illegitimate child of Tian Jin and Xiao Zhirou, but I didn't break the window paper, but pretended to know nothing about it. I know that once this matter is publicized, it will inevitably attract a lot of criticism. By then, it will become difficult for us to command the heroes with justification. After all, we have been hunting down Liu Xunyi under the banner of revenge for Tian Jin, and 'punishing evil and eliminating traitors' can't... cut off the incense of others."
