Chapter 110 – The Big Revelation (2)
“Are you talking about the late Wang Fei Ye?” Ye Zhen lowered her head and asked softly.
Instantly, Xu Lao’s cold eyes fixed on the young miss opposite him. Instead of answering her question, he squinted his eyes, prop up his elbow on the table, and asked, “Whose daughter are you?”
“My father’s na is Lu Shiming, and my mother’s na is Pei Shi. For 15 years, I have been living in the Border Town.” Xu Lao nodded, his shoulders visibly loosening up. “To answer your query, yes, I am talking about the late Wang Fei. You must have heard of the tragedy.” The teacher was montarily lost in the mories. He rembered all of it, the clan annihilation of the Ye family.
“Sir, do you think all of them deserved to die?”
“So deserve to die; so don’t!” Xu Lao looked at her. “Are you Lu Shiming’s biological daughter?”
Ye Zhen fisted her hands. She must get Xu Lao’s trust before Lu Lingzhi could manipulate him. And she only knew one way —she must give him a fragnt of her connection to her father, who was his friend.
“No, I am his adopted daughter. Not anyone knows about it, but now Mister Xu does.” Ye Zhen answered without hesitation. The old man was astonished, his eyes widening by a fraction but before he could speak, Ye Zhen beat him into it.
“Sir, who don’t you think deserved to die in the Ye family? Ye Yiqing?” Ye Zhen boldly inquired.
“Yes, he didn’t deserve to die!” Xu Lao sat down again, and his voice gradually beca soft as he was reminded of his old friend.
“There are not many good people in the Ye family, and he was one of the good people I know.” Ye Zhen picked up the stone in her hand and gently lowered it, making her first move.
“But he is dead, and both his children too.” Xu Lao stared at Ye Zhen in silence.
“What is your relationship with Ye Yiqing?”
“I don’t know ...” Ye Zhen shook her head. “Since others say I look like the Wang Fei of Qin Dynasty, I may have sothing to do with the Ye family.”
“I have never heard Yiqing say that he has another daughter. However, if you are really connected to the Ye, you had at least got away from the extermination. Maybe you can et him in the future.” Xu Lao said with a sigh.
et him in the future?
Ye Zhen heard sothing strange in Xu Lao’s tone. It was as if he was insinuating that her father was still alive! She squeezed the black stone in her hand. “What did you say, sir?”
Xu Lao looked down and said, “This old man collected the corpses of his friends. There were 130 people in the Ye family, but there were no Ye Yiqing and his son’s corpse that I found!. Maybe they have escaped!”
“Are you serious?” Ye Zhen wanted to control her emotions, but she still trembled and held her hands together.
“Do you an to say... Ye Yiqing and his son, they might be still alive?”
“This old man didn’t find their bodies, so there’s a strong possibility of them being alive.” Xu Lao said that as for whether they were alive or not, he was not certain. Ye Zhen’s hands trembled so much that she grabbed a handful of her skirt, and her tears poured up without her control, but she held them back as hard as she could.
“They must not be dead yet!” Father is so powerful, so omnipotent, how could I have believed that they died? Yes, she also dread of her father, he told her to wait for him ... He must still be alive!
Xu Lao looked at Ye Zhen, who appeared to be rejoicing over this very fact. In his heart, he already understood her identity. However, considering that the Ye family was still a topic that could not be ntioned, he hid all his guesses in his heart and pretended not to know anything.
Ye Zhen walked back and forth in the waterside pavilion for several tis, and finally suppressed her excitent. She looked back at Xu Lao, “Mister Xu, do you think if Ye Yiqing is not dead, where would he have gone to?”
“I always heard him say that he wanted to live by the sea.” Xu Lao said. “Yes ... that’s what he said.”
Ye Zhen laughed and rembered that her father always loved the sea. She took a deep breath, steadied her surging excitent, sat down again, and said in a calm voice, “Mister Xu, let’s play chess now.”
She felt happier than ever before. In this world, she cared most about her father and elder brother. Now that she knew they may still be alive, she seed to see a little light in the dark. She would find them, this she promised to herself. For their sake, she would live well.
Father, second brother! You must wait for to co and find you!
