"But, but he is indeed a farmer's son!"

"But Wanyan Honglie treats him as his own son. As the saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth. A child's kindness can be repaid with the loss of a finger, but the kindness of raising a child is hard to repay with the loss of one's head. If Wanyan Honglie doesn't mind, would he still be willing to acknowledge him as his biological father?"

Bao Xiruo was struck by lightning when she heard this and was speechless.

Chen Liu said, "I'm afraid he'll become a traitor and sell you out. It doesn't matter if you die, but please don't implicate me. I haven't even got a wife or concubine yet."

Bao Xiruo: ...

Mu Nianci: ...

Huang Rong:......

Ah! Shameless, he's still asking for a wife and a concubine. Huang Rong and Mu Nianci both secretly spat at Chen Liu. "Do you want a fist as big as a sandbag?"

"No, no, my Kang'er is very loving and kind. Almost every time he comes to see me, he will bring the kittens, puppies, rabbits and birds with broken legs to me for treatment. He will never deny his biological father." Bao Xiruo shook her head repeatedly. She thought her son was a good person and would never deny his biological father.

"How do you know he didn't break the legs of the kittens, puppies, rabbits, and birds on purpose? He always brings injured animals with him when he comes to see you, right?"

Chen Liu said disdainfully, "How often do you encounter injured animals in this world? How many times have you encountered one over the years? And how many times has he encountered one? You're also brainless. You didn't even notice such an abnormal thing?"

Bao Xiruo's face paled instantly. That's right, every time her son brought injured animals to her, her thoughts were on him and the animals. She had always thought her son was loving and kind, and had never considered anything unusual. Now, after hearing Chen Liuyi's reminder, she realized that her son had been bringing injured animals to see her far too often. He was practically a savior of disaster, a nemesis of animals. It was sheer misfortune for the animals to have encountered him.

Bao Xi Ruo suddenly felt like she was about to collapse. She was reluctant to kill the chickens and ducks she raised, letting them die of old age. However, her son took advantage of her kindness and deliberately broke the legs of those small animals. Is such a son really kind?

"I'm just reminding you. Anyway, I heard outside that Yang Kang, oh, his current name is Wanyan Kang, is not a good person. He is capable of doing all kinds of bad things. Only you, the mother, have been kept in the dark."

"And for all these years, Yang Kang has been taught by Wanyan Honglie, right? You don't know, do you? The reason the Song soldiers attacked Niujiazhuang back then was because Wanyan Honglie bribed them to have Duan Tiande kill your husband so he could play the hero and save you. In fact, the situation between your two families is all caused by Wanyan Honglie. How could he be taught well by someone like that?"

"How did you find out?" Bao Xiruo's face turned pale, her heart aching. She simply couldn't believe Wanyan Honglie was such a person. Didn't this mean that the Guo and Yang families were in this state because of her? Was the root of this evil her saving Wanyan Honglie?

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Chen, cough, Tianshan Flying Bird. My original surname is Chen. I am friends with the world's number one fortune teller, Ni Bodhisattva. I have read his Tianku Sutra, so I also have the ability to tell fortunes. People in the world call me the Divine Fortune Teller, and also known as Chen Banxian!" Chen Liu looked like a master and said with reserve.

Ah! You lied again. Huang Rong and Mu Nianci slapped Chen Liu fiercely.

"The fortune teller?"

"uh-huh!"

"never heard of that."

"You, a woman who grew up in seclusion, naturally haven't heard of it. You can ask Wanyan Honglie tomorrow; he's sure to know about the Clay Buddha."

Bao Xiruo: ...

Chen Liu suggested: "Your main account is useless. While you are still young, why not practice a small account with Yang Tiexin."

Bao Xiruo: ...

As soon as Chen Liu finished speaking, he couldn't help but think to himself, "No way! Did I get this suggestion wrong? Then Yang Guo won't be Yang Kang's son, but Yang Kang's younger brother?"

Mu Nianci: ...

Huang Rong:......

【Oh! Yang has already passed, so it's okay.】

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Chapter 82 Yang Kang

Chen Liu carefully warned Bao Xiruo again, asking her not to expose herself, then quietly left and headed for the dry well that Bao Xiruo mentioned.

However, there was no Mei Chaofeng in the dry well, which made Chen Liu particularly depressed. He then carefully recalled the plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. However, it took him a long time to read the book, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Liu finally remembered that the plot in The Legend of the Condor Heroes was that Guo Jing was being chased by Liang Ziweng and had no choice but to run around. He ran into a place with many thorns and rocks, fell into a cave, and that's when he met Mei Chaofeng.

Chen Liu immediately returned to the small house with black tiles and white walls where Bao Xiruo lived, but heard someone talking inside. It sounded like a young man.

Chen Liu thought: [This could be Yang Kang.]

Chen Liu quietly moved to the window of the tile-roofed house and hid in the dark to observe the situation inside, but found that Yang Kang was talking to Bao Xiruo behind his back, while Bao Xiruo was lowering her head to wrap the twisted legs of a little rabbit.

Bao Xiruo was a bit dazed. How many bunnies had been born this month? Three? Or four? And two puppies, three chicks. Over ten animals had broken legs or wings in a single month. Was she the only one who foolishly believed her son was so innocent, so kind, and so loving? Perhaps everyone in the palace knew, except her.

Yang Kang chattered on and on about some trivial matters with Bao Xiruo. When Bao Xiruo didn't laugh, he started laughing himself.

"Mother, my father told me today that I'm old and can't keep playing around like this. He wanted to discuss marriage with me and asked if there were any girls from the major families that I'd like." Yang Kang laughed and said, "I don't like girls who can't hold anything with their hands, can't carry anything on their shoulders, and who get out of breath after walking a few steps. It's a pity that we're from the royal family, otherwise..."

"What else?" Bao Xiruo wrapped the rabbit's broken leg with cloth, tied a bow, and looked up at Yang Kang.

"Or you can marry a princess!" Yang Kang laughed.

Bao Xiruo's expression was a little complicated, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today? Why do you seem a little distracted?" Yang Kang asked.

"Actually, you are not from the royal family." Bao Xiruo doted on Yang Kang after all, and finally couldn't help herself.

Yang Kang was stunned for a moment, while Chen Liu's expression turned grim. He had repeatedly instructed Bao Xiruo to wait until they left Dadu to discuss these matters with Yang Kang, whether by letter or by messenger, but not now. He hadn't anticipated Bao Xiruo's doting on Yang Kang, perhaps even wanting him to return to his clan.

"Mother, mother, what do you mean?"

"You are not actually Hong's son. Your father is Yang Tiexin, a farmer from the Song Dynasty..."

"Mother, mother, you are kidding me, right?" Yang Kang's face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile and said, "You must be kidding me, right?"

"Kang'er, your father is really a farmer in the Song Dynasty. His name is Yang Tiexin. Your real name is actually Yang Kang. Back then, your father and I lived happily in the Song Dynasty..." After a pause, Bao Xiruo still did not tell Yang Kang that the tragedy in Niujiazhuang was arranged by Wanyan Honglie who secretly bribed the officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

"Stop talking." Before Bao Xiruo could finish, Yang Kang roared angrily, his eyes showing panic. No wonder his mother brought these shabby items from the Song Dynasty back to the Zhao Palace. No wonder his mother, as a princess, would rather wear coarse linen clothes and live in these three small houses with black tiles and white walls. But he has been the prince of Zhao for eighteen years, and you are suddenly telling me this now? If he is no longer the prince of Zhao, will this palace, the throne, the maids, and the guards still be his? Will those who usually flatter him and fawn on him still flatter him? Yang Kang can even imagine that when his identity is exposed, the women who used to please him, curry favor with him, and want to climb into his bed will show mocking smiles on their faces...

"I'm the Prince of Zhao." Yang Kang felt a chill in his heart when he thought of that scene. His lips trembled as he emphasized, "My last name is Wanyan, not some bullshit Yang. I'm the Prince of Zhao, Wanyan Kang, not some peasant's son!"

"Kang'er..." Bao Xiruo's eyes showed a heartbroken look. What Chen Liu said was right. Her son really did not recognize his identity.

Bao Xiruo had previously believed that if she told him Yang Kang's story, he would quickly accept it. After all, his last name was Yang, not Wanyan! Who could forget their ancestors? But when she couldn't help but tell him the truth, Yang Kang's reaction was beyond her expectations. Well, it wasn't that unexpected, after all, Chen Liu had already given her a heads-up. But Bao Xiruo still held out hope, hoping that Chen Liu was wrong. But seeing Yang Kang's current state, Bao Xiruo suddenly felt a sense of despair.

The grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child!

A finger can be cut off to repay the kindness of giving birth, but a head cannot be cut off to repay the kindness of raising a child!

Bao Xiruo suddenly recalled the two sentences Chen Liu had said earlier. At the time, she had somewhat dismissed them. After all, blood is thicker than water. Furthermore, the prevailing value of the time was that one's entire being came from one's parents, and their kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai. Even if one was beaten to death by one's parents, one could not fight back. Otherwise, one would be considered an unfilial son and be spurned by the world. This was completely different from the universal values ​​of later generations in Chen Liu's time. "Do you dare to beat your own children to death?" Someone would dare sue you, and even the government would deprive you of your custody.

"Mother, I am the Crown Prince of Zhao, and you are the Princess of Zhao."

"Kang'er..."

"Mom, I want some quiet time!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Kang bolted, a bit like a lost dog. He even tripped over the threshold as he left the house, nearly falling. Yang Kang took two quick steps, steadying himself, before continuing his hasty escape.

Bao Xiruo sat down on the ground, all her strength gone, tears streaming down her face.

After a while, Bao Xiruo, with tears in her eyes, seemed to see a figure walking in. She thought it was her son who had come back after thinking it through, and she immediately called out in surprise, "Kang'er!"

"I'm not your Kang'er."

"You..." Bao Xiruo then realized that there was something wrong with the voice and the body shape. She wiped away her tears and saw that it was Chen Liu with an ugly expression.

"You, you haven't left yet?"

"Leave? Leave for what? Didn't I tell you not to tell Yang Kang?" Chen Liu was a little angry.

"He, he is my son." Bao Xiruo lowered her head feeling guilty.

Looking at Bao Xiruo's delicate, pitiful appearance, Chen Liu was furious and thought to himself, "If it weren't for Yang Tiexin's adopted daughter, I wouldn't bother with a woman like you who can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. Of course, if anything happens in three days, whether you live or die is none of my business. I'll only take Miss Nianci away. Safety first! Safety first!"

Mu Nianci: ...

Huang Rong:......

"Is there any place in this palace with lots of thorns and strange rocks?"

Chapter 83 Mei Chaofeng (Part )

After learning the approximate location from Bao Xiruo, Chen Liu searched carefully this time and finally found a very deep cave entrance in a pile of rocks and thorns. He also vaguely discovered many white skulls under the cave entrance in the moonlight.

Found the place.

Chen Liu hesitated for a while, but finally jumped down.

"puff!"

Chen Liu's lightness skills were quite good, so even though the cave entrance was four or five feet deep, it only made a slight sound. However, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, so Mei Chaofeng, who was blind but had become more sensitive in hearing, still heard it.

"Who?" Mei Chaofeng suddenly spoke, her voice a little hoarse and sharp, which seemed a little weird in this dark place.

Chen Liu took out the night-shining pearl from his arms. He had taken it from Guo Jing. Since he had not met Mu Nianci yet, he naturally had not given it away. But it came in handy here.

"But Senior Sister Mei?" Chen Liu, using the light of the night pearl, avoided the pale skulls on the ground and walked into the passage. He said, "My name is Chen Sanfeng."

"Senior Sister Mei? Chen Sanfeng?" Mei Chaofeng was stunned for a moment, her breathing seemed a little rapid, and she asked hurriedly: "Are you, are you Master's apprentice?"

"Junior brother, I've just entered the sect." Entering the cave, Chen Liu saw a blind woman with long hair, sharp black nails, and a pale face. He exclaimed, "Senior Sister Mei, how did you become like this?"

"How did you find this place?" Even though Chen Liu called out her name, and even gave her a name that had wind in it, Mei Chaofeng still didn't believe him. After all, she was blind now.

"Ah!" After a long while, Chen Liu finally came to his senses. He sighed slightly and said, "My junior sister and I met in the martial arts world and fell in love with each other, but we angered our master. He originally wanted to kill me, but my junior sister threatened to die, so he gave up the idea. However, my master set a test for me. If I want to marry my junior sister, I need to find the second half of the Nine Yin Manual before he will agree to our relationship and officially accept me as his disciple."

"Little junior sister?"

"My junior sister's name is Huang Rong."

Huang Rong:......

Huang Rong's face turned black, and of course, she also had a fever and her ears felt hot.

"Huang Rong? Is she Master's daughter?" Mei Chaofeng couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"Exactly."

Mei Chaofeng's expression softened slightly. Of course, she didn't completely trust Chen Liu, so she asked, "My little apprentice sister should still be very young, right? Master, are you willing to let her travel the martial arts world?"

"I don't want to!"

"Then why did you say you met in the martial arts world?"

"Rong'er ran away secretly." Chen Liu lied seriously, "Because there were only mute servants on Peach Blossom Island, Rong'er was bored on the island, so she cooked and went to see the only normal person on the island besides the master, the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, to chat and play with him. Later, the master found her..."

"You haven't officially joined yet?"

"That's fine. I've already found Senior Sister Mei, so why should I worry about not being able to enter?"

Mei Chaofeng: ...
