In the side hall, an old man and a young man were talking.

"Back then, Brother Chuyang was assassinated by the former sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect and died tragically at the northern foot of the mountain, while Brother Chenglan's whereabouts are unknown."

"Almost everyone who survived was looking for him, but we searched for a whole year without any news. Everyone believed he was dead."

"But I will never forget your eyes. They are exactly like Chenglan's, as if they were carved from the same mold. Even those two from Fuxian Town recognized them, so how could I not?"

Su Ning looked at the person in front of her, still puzzled: "But that's nothing, so why do you and your two aunts seem so afraid that my identity will be known by others?"

"This is different." Tang Jingshan looked at the person before him with a touch of pity, and continued, "Back then, everyone knows exactly how many bandits Brother Chuyang and Brother Chenglan killed when they attacked Wuxiang Sect."

"Brother Chuyang has passed away, and no one knows Yue Zijin's identity. But Brother Chenglan's body has yet to be discovered. If they knew of your existence, they would surely seek revenge."

"They even forced you to reveal Chenglan's whereabouts."

"That's fine, after all these years no one knows whether Brother Chenglan is alive or dead. But once they know you exist, they will try every means to capture you to search for the whereabouts of the Phoenix Feather Sword."

"So you must keep it a secret after you leave." Tang Jingshan had his back to Su Ning, making it impossible to see his face.

"Can't even Xixi tell?" Su Ning asked.

The answer was obvious: "No."

Su Ning knew that although the person in front of her had told her some things, he was unwilling to tell her the deeper truths.

Clearly, he was unwilling to say more.

He only kept telling her to protect her identity.

The reward for the newly refreshed "Mystery of My Origins" quest has changed from "unknown" to a clue to the Phoenix Feather Sword.

From the conversation just now, we know that the Phoenix Feather Sword was the sword of the cheap father, and it disappeared along with the cheap father after he went missing.

The fact that the system's reward was a clue to the Phoenix Feather Sword was quite eye-catching.

Seeing that she couldn't get any secrets out of Tang Jingshan, Su Ning didn't bother to press the matter further. "Uncle Tang, I'll head out now."

During their conversation, the other party told her that when she went out, she should tell them the truth: she was the daughter of an old friend of his, and she could call him Uncle Tang, just like Yue Zijin did.

After all, the two had a private conversation, which was witnessed by all four people in the hall. No one was stupid, so there was no need to hide it.

But Peach Blossom Man's identity must be kept completely a secret.

At this moment, among the people in the main hall, Tang Xi was pacing back and forth, Pei Yunlian was holding her sword and remained silent, Yue Zijin seemed to have recovered somewhat and was eating tea and snacks, occasionally glancing at the side hall, while You Xunchun was calmly drinking tea.

"Susu, you're finally out! My dad didn't ask you anything, did he?"

Upon seeing Su Ning emerge, Tang Xi was the first to greet her.

Su Ning first shook her head, then gently patted Tang Xi's hands, "So it turns out Uncle Tang knows my parents, but he pities me because I'm a girl, so he didn't say anything in front of everyone."

"So that's how it is," Tangxi murmured.

Then Tang Jingshan came out from the side hall, seemingly in a good mood, and only then did he have time to look at Pei Yunlian and You Xunchun.

"Sir, you must be the renowned physician Xinglin Chun who has been practicing medicine and helping people in recent years. Xi'er has been very fortunate to have your care while she's been away from home these past few days."

"After the martial arts tournament, I must stay for a longer period of time."

Looking at the gentle and refined young man before him, Tang Jingshan smiled sincerely, seemingly quite appreciative of him.

You Xunchun lowered his eyes, his expression gentle, and spoke in a low voice, "Master Tang is too kind; it's merely my duty."

Tang Jingshan waved his hand, then looked at the young swordsman beside him. Observing his long and deep breath, he knew that the other party must have solid basic skills.

After offering a few words of praise, I noticed the sword in his hand. "Young friend, this sword must be a family heirloom, right?"

Pei Yunlian was surprised that the person in front of him could recognize the sword in his hand at a glance. However, considering that the other party was a disciple of Gongye Jin and a contemporary master forger, he was not surprised.

The other party only glanced at it briefly and then didn't look at it again, which showed that he wasn't interested in the sword in his hand. Pei Yunlian then felt relieved.

"Though my old friends have passed away, seeing their children now reminds me of decades ago when I was about your age."

As Tang Jingshan spoke, a few tiny tears flashed across his eyes, leaving only a heart full of emotion.

"Xi'er, immediately tell Uncle Fu to instruct the servants to prepare fine wine and food; let tonight be a night of reunion."

Although Tangxi had a lot of questions to ask the other person, she rarely saw her father so relaxed, so she went along with him and didn't ask any more questions.

Dark as ink.

Until one exquisite dish after another was served on the octagonal table, Yue Zijin looked at the middle-aged man with a rugged face at the head of the table.

A gentle warmth swept through my heart.

It turns out his father was such a great man, one of the founders of the Alliance, and the number one swordsman in the martial arts world. He never dared to dream of such a great man before.

But now he has been told that the person is his biological father. The person who can resonate with him the most now is probably the girl next to him.

"Su Su, I never imagined that your parents were old acquaintances of Master Tang. They must also be people in the martial arts world."

Su Ning intentionally tried to mislead him, saying, "Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't; Uncle Tang didn't tell me."

Yue Zi didn't investigate further.

During meals.

Yue Zi was quick and nimble, and was the first to grab the seat to Su Ning's left, while Tang Xi was just about to sit to her right.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yunlian, who seemed unassuming and unassuming, sat down before her.

Although this was her home, she couldn't ask anyone to get up in front of her father, so she could only sit down opposite Su Ning, feeling sullen.

You Xunchun was the last to calmly sit down next to Tangxi.

Sitting high above, Tang Jingshan watched the interactions among the younger generation below and smiled knowingly.

Back then, Brother Chenglan shone like the sun and shone like the moon.

Now, his daughter has surpassed him.

In the end, this martial world was ruined by the father and daughter.

As Su Ning picked up her chopsticks, she had just taken a piece of osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root when a dish of jade shrimp, chestnuts from braised chicken with chestnuts, and a piece of eight-treasure duck appeared in her bowl.

Su Ning: ...

The jade shrimp was sandwiched by Yue Zijin, the chestnuts by Tang Xi, and the eight-treasure duck by Pei Yunlian.

But the three men stared at her with bright eyes, hoping that the next bite she would take would be from their plate.

Just as Su Ning was hesitating, a piece of the steamed, tender white sea bass was placed in her bowl.

You Xunchun calmly put away her chopsticks, as if she didn't care at all whose food she would end up eating.

Su Ning gave a light snort, and under the intense gazes of the other three, she looked at the bowl, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The fish was clear and fresh.

But before the three could feel disappointed...

A servant announced from outside the door, "Master, that young master Lou has arrived."
