Chapter 781: Chapter 780: Hidden Truth_1

Speaking, he suddenly stood up and flicked his robe, with a "plop" he kneeled in front of Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er was shocked!

She hurriedly stood up and helped Old Cheng back up herself.

"Master Uncle Cheng, what is your intention? If you have something to say, just speak up. Why act like this? Aren’t you making it hard for Pan’er? Please stand up quickly!"

"Madam, this matter is of utmost importance, Madam should listen to me finish before I stand up."

Old Cheng refused to stand.

Su Pan’er had no choice but to yield.

"Old Cheng, speak your mind."

Kneeling there, Old Cheng organized his thoughts before speaking: "Madam must know about the origin of our Ghost Valley Sect, right?"

"Of course, I do."

Su Pan’er nodded, however, the moment Old Cheng mentioned it, her heart filled with apprehension.

"Over the hundreds of years that the Ghost Valley Sect has existed, we have always been feared by those in power."

It seemed Old Cheng didn’t notice her changing expression and kept on talking, lost in his own thoughts, "In my generation, apart from the sect leader, there were also four hall masters – Hengxiang Hall, Hengming Hall, Hengyue Hall, and Hengyuan Hall. Our sect leader had only one daughter, who was not only beautiful but also portrayed radiant courage, truly embodying the phrase: women are not inferior to men. Moreover, we hall masters were on good terms with each other and we all admired the young sect master. The sect leader even said that whoever married the young sect master would become the next leader of the Ghost Valley Sect."

"At that time, there was also a very secret organization that inflicted great damage on the Ghost Valley Sect several times, causing our sect to suffer greatly. The young sect leader volunteered to uncover this secret organization and eliminate the hidden dangers."

"I wasn’t aware of the specifics at that time, as I was the hall master of Hengyuan Hall, and together with the master of Hengyue Hall, was commanded to lead more than twenty thousand men of the Ghost Valley Sect to Jiangnan. However, during that operation, which was supposed to be a cinch, our brothers fell into a trap due to a traitor, resulting in the deaths of twenty thousand brothers. When I found out the traitor, took his head and returned to the Ghost Valley Sect, our sect was already destroyed."

"I frantically inquired about what happened but could not find any information. Out of despair, I settled in the countryside to observe the activities of the Imperial Court and look for any news of our sect’s people. Soon after, there were indeed movements from the Imperial Court, a large number of troops mysteriously trespassed Deicide Mountain. Upon receiving this news, I hurriedly went there, but I was too late, only to discover a field of corpses."

Su Pan’er was listening silently, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, without uttering a word.

Secretly glancing at her expression, Old Cheng continued speaking.

"I didn’t give up and scoured the entire area. In the end, I found one of the young sect master’s personal maids who before she died, revealed that before the young sect master’s death, she had given birth to a baby boy. However, the baby had already been taken away ahead of time and his whereabouts were unknown. I searched everywhere but to no avail, so I put my search on hold, returned to the countryside, and decided to peacefully live out the rest of my life."

"The retirement home you were talking about, it’s Luoyan Village?"

Su Pan’er casually asked.

"Indeed, Madam is very wise."

Old Cheng unreservedly complimented.

Su Pan’er’s mouth corners slightly twitched into a faint smile, however, the smile didn’t reach her eyes: "What secrets does Luoyan Village hide that made you stand guard for so many years?"

The skills of Old Cheng that were reflected in his teaching of Qin Yi, indicated that this former Great General was not an ordinary person.

Surely, such a person would have some ulterior motives to retire and be in seclusion.

"It would be fine if Madam was standing by Lord Marquis’ side, otherwise..."

Old Cheng expressed surprise, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Madam is right. The reason I lived in seclusion in Luoyan Village for many years is indeed significant. The token of our Ghost Valley Sect leader is a tiger-shaped blood jade pendant. Every generation of our sect leaders would hold this tiger-shaped jade pendant and claim the seat of the sect leader, and the other phoenix-shaped jade pendant made of emerald green, would be held by the wife of the sect leader!"

Saying that, he looked up at Su Pan’er.

The color drained from Su Pan’er’s face!

She immediately remembered the tiger-shaped jade pendant with a drop of blood encased in it, which Qin Yi wore!

"Madam’s guess is right. Before her death, the young sect leader placed the tiger-shaped jade pendant on the baby, and entrusted an old faithful to carry the baby away. I also found out that the baby’s chest was scarred with a knife wound, which further became my evidence in searching for the baby."

Remembering the gruesome scar on Qin Yi’s chest, Su Pan’er nodded her head.

"Great, now that you found Qin Yi, do you plan to let him take the seat as the sect leader of Ghost Valley sect? To flourish the name of the Ghost Valley sect? Or... do you plan to vindicate Ghost valley sect?"

Why the Imperial Families from generation to generation would exterminate the Ghost Valley Sect, why they couldn’t tolerate the Ghost Valley Sect, naturally, has to do with the rumour about the Ghost Valley Sect possessing the power to overthrow empires!

No matter who ascends the throne, they wouldn’t wish for anyone else to have the means to overthrow them.

Therefore, the Ghost Valley Sect naturally became a target that those in power were keen to eliminate.

"The Ghost Valley Sect is already on its last legs, it’s not worth the master to waste his time on it. As for the matter of vindication, I have already waited for many years, a few more would make no difference. Even if there was no chance for vindication, I don’t think the sect leaders of Ghost Valley over the generations will blame me."

Old Cheng shook his head, apparently he is clear-headed about what can be done and what can’t be.

He looked at Su Pan’er and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "Why doesn’t Madam ask, who did the young sect master encounter and who is the master’s biological father?"

"Who is it?"

Su Pan’er suddenly felt nervous.

Looking mysteriously happy, Old Cheng clapped his upper and lower lips together and uttered two words.

"The former Emperor!"

Su Pan’er collapsed onto the chair.

Although she had a vague idea just now, she didn’t dare to ask. In fact, it was an ostrich mentality.

Qin Yi is the child of the former emperor, and more so, he’s the son of Ghost Valley Sect’s young sect master and the former emperor!

If such an identity was revealed, he would probably be able to line up all the people who wanted to take his life, back to back, all the way to Dongjing!

Yet, with such an identity...

Thinking about the recent events one after another, She suddenly understood why there was always a mysterious group around Qin Yi.

She suddenly thought of another question: "Who else knows about Qin Yi’s identity?"

"Ye Han knows as well."

Old Cheng confirmed: "Madam, once Lord Marquis’ identity is revealed and he claims it publicly, given the current chaotic state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be easy to seize that position. By then, Lord Marquis would be the one above all and Madam, you would also become the queen..."

Old Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke, he seemed to be completely immersed in the glorious scenes of success.

Su Pan’er squinted her eyes and looked at him. The feeling the Old Cheng in front of him now was extremely strange, so strange it was as if she had never known this man!
