Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 74 What happened back then

“Your mother, Leng Yu, is also my senior sister.” Wu Changkong said, “The reason why you are not my senior sister’s biological child is because my senior sister never had a husband, and you were also brought back by my senior sister from the Far North.”

Although Lin Xiuran was surprised by this, he was not very upset. At this point, it didn't matter whether the child was his biological child or not.

What he wanted to know more was that part of the story. It turned out that his mother was a disciple of Shrek Academy. Why did she end up in Donghai City and was eventually killed by Xu Junwen?

If they were really from Shrek Academy, even if Xu Junwen had ten times the courage, he would not dare to do anything.

Wu Zhangkong continued, "It was after Senior Sister picked you up from the Far North. At that time, the teacher and others were against her adopting you as her child. After all, Senior Sister was very talented and was afraid that you would hinder her future. But in the end, Senior Sister still recognized you as her child and insisted on naming you Lin Xiuran. This name has basically nothing to do with her name, and I don’t know why Senior Sister gave you this name. But it was also this name that made me suspicious when I first saw you in Donghai City, and then I discovered those things."

Lin Xiuran asked in confusion: "Then why did my mother leave Shrek Academy? And she was also regarded as an evil soul master..."

Wu Zhangkong sighed deeply, his heart trembling slightly:
"If everything had continued in this way, the following events would not have happened. At that time, Senior Sister's martial spirit had evolved. It had undergone a benign mutation from the original Ice Phoenix martial spirit."

"Senior sister's talent was already extremely high. After this mutation, she was like a fish in water. Her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and her cultivation speed increased a lot. She was able to break through to level 60 at a very young age. But then, less than a year later, Senior Sister's body had problems. She often couldn't control herself and went crazy, and she also revealed an aura like a beast. That aura was as if she was really facing a ferocious beast."

After a pause, he continued, "Later, it was also at that time that the evil soul masters invaded Shrek Academy one day. The evil soul masters sent out nearly ten Titled Douluo, and the battle was extremely large."

"Their target is Senior Sister."

"Although the evil soul masters had a large formation, under the leadership of Pavilion Master Qingtian Douluo, they were defeated for a while. But later, a very powerful person appeared on the evil soul master's side, and fought against the Pavilion Master and a top Titled Douluo of the Tang Sect alone. In the end, she used the names of three Titled Douluos to sacrifice a divine weapon to seal most of the Pavilion Master's strength, but she was also injured by the Pavilion Master and several other Extreme Douluos."

Lin Xiuran was slightly stunned. No wonder he heard Na'er talking about Pavilion Master Qingtian Douluo's seclusion a few days ago. It turned out to be because of this.

"But the evil soul master's goal was achieved. They took away Senior Sister and you."

"What happened next was very simple. I don't know when my senior sister escaped from the Holy Spirit Church and went to Donghai City. You know what happened next."

When Wu Zhangkong said this, he looked at Lin Xiuran with an apologetic look in his eyes: "In fact, there is a reason why the evil soul master knows Senior Sister."

“Long Bing, my love, her true identity is the daughter of Dark Hummingbird, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Church. She came to Shrek Academy to steal some information…”

Wu Changkong's eyes were filled with pain, and he was obviously not willing to recall the past.

"Later, she was killed by the Dark Hummingbird. My sister was with her at the time and unexpectedly went mad during the fight against the Dark Hummingbird. Later, the academy teacher came in time to save my sister, but in the end, the evil soul master still found out about my sister, which led to the subsequent large-scale invasion."

Wu Changkong calmed down and said, "I don't know why Senior Sister didn't choose to return to the academy after escaping from the Holy Spirit Church. But as early as when Senior Sister was captured by the Holy Spirit Church, we thought that she had left. After all, in that kind of place, no one thought that Senior Sister could escape..." Lin Xiuran frowned deeply. Even though Wu Changkong had explained a lot of things, he still didn't understand.

Logically speaking, if he was picked up at that time, even though he was young, he would not necessarily be unable to remember anything. However, his memory before the age of four was completely blank, with not even a fragment in his mind.

There are also many questions about this matter. Why didn't his mother Leng Yu choose to return to Shrek Academy after escaping from the Holy Spirit Church, but instead lived in the Xu family in Donghai City for two years? And his memory of those two years is blank.

The purpose of the Holy Spirit Church capturing her, and Lin Xiuran’s own true identity. Even Leng Yu is not his biological mother, so what is his true identity?

Wu Zhangkong was silent for a while, then said: "Do you know why I didn't let you join the Tang Sect? When Senior Sister joined the Tang Sect, she was expelled by a person in charge of the Tang Sect headquarters. The reason given was that her identity was unknown. It was also said that the person in charge had secretly attacked Senior Sister many times, suspecting that Senior Sister was an evil spirit master. It was also a big part of the reason that it was his expulsion that made Dark Hummingbird pay attention to Senior Sister who had a good relationship with Long Bing."

This is the reason why Wu Changkong prevented Lin Xiuran from entering the Tang Sect. It is also a big reason why he has always treated Lin Xiuran very specially. A big part of the reason is to atone for Long Bing's sins.

But the behavior of this Tang Clan leader was so strange that Lin Xiuran was still confused about many things.

“If it weren’t for Long Bing, I guess Senior Sister wouldn’t have…” Wu Zhangkong’s eyes looked somewhat depressed.

Lin Xiuran calmly shook his head and said, "Teacher Wu, neither you nor the late Long Bing need to blame yourselves for this."

“Alas…” Wu Zhangkong looked at Lin Xiuran deeply and said, “You have grown up. There are many things that you still need to understand clearly. What I know is also very one-sided. Many things are only told from my perspective. The real truth still needs you to investigate it yourself.”

"Definitely."

Later, Wu Zhangkong and Lin Xiuran sat in front of the tombstone for a long time, until the moon was dim and the stars were dim.

Wu Changkong talked a lot with Lin Xiuran, mostly about Leng Yu and what happened after he was brought back.

Of course, there were also some things about Wu Changkong himself. In short, they talked a lot. Lin Xiuran had never heard Wu Changkong talk so much. This was the first time.

It seemed as if the other party wanted to pour out everything that had happened over the years.

Wu Zhangkong has been holding these things in for too long. Who can understand the pain in his heart?
