Chapter 533: 533 unwilling to be threatened
At this point, Qing Li’s voice inexplicably choked up, “It was then, after months of travel, I fell seriously ill and t the renowned Divine Doctor Zhou Yuan. Later, my mother left in his care and went alone to search for my father.
After I recovered from my illness, every day I longed for her return, so I acknowledged Zhou Yuan as my master and desperately studied everything around that could be of help.
To my own surprise, I possessed an exceptional talent in identifying dicines and learned everything quickly, which earned my master’s favor.
Day by day, I kept waiting for my mother’s return, but that wait turned into several more months.
During that ti, a Hidden Guard from the War Prince Residence, heavily afflicted by Poisonous Insect Poison and on the verge of death, sought dical help from my master. It was then I first saw Sikong, who was the son of the old Prince, the new master of the War Prince Residence, and the son of the man my father had once served.
At the ti, my dical skills were not that great. Once, when the master was out, assassins ca after us. Without thinking, I hid Sikong in the rice barrel in the kitchen and then put on his clothes to escape.
The assassins, believing I was Sikong, were bent on killing . Thankfully, the master returned just in ti to save my life.
From that ti on, Sikong and I ford a friendship as close as true brothers, and after my master’s death, I followed him loyally.
I thought our lives would always be this way because I would give up my own life rather than let him get hurt.
But then, two years ago, I suddenly received news of my mother. I saw her again, Qingyue was a girl my mother had taken in and raised like her own daughter by her side.
I thought I would hate her when I saw her again because she had cruelly abandoned to my master in pursuit of my father and never ca back to see for decades.
Yet, when I learned she was controlled by the man in the mask, I still felt heartache.
It was then I understood that I had never really hated her. I was just blaming her for never coming back to see all these years, for neglecting completely.
I hesitated when the man in the mask used my mother to threaten . He kept telling to take down Sikong, but I kept making all sorts of excuses to delay him, fortunately discovering that the masked man didn’t truly insist on Sikong’s life, so I was able to fend off the demands ti and again.
Until the last ti, I received his ssage: between my mother and Sikong, I could only choose one.
The result was clear, I chose my mother.
After the mission failed, I was happy, although I faced severe punishnt. Fortunately, both my mother and Sikong were safe.
But a few days ago, Qingyue ca to being chased by killers, bringing along my mother’s suicide note.
My mother knew the masked man was using her to threaten and, unwilling for to be threatened by others, she took her own life by poison…”
Although my mother died by her own hand, in the end, it was because she was threatened by the masked man.
Qing Li was filled with an unwillingness to accept this; he would make sure those people paid the price, no matter the consequences.
While he spoke those words, Qing Li’s emotions surged. But after he finished, he beca eerily calm.
Yet, at this mont, his heart was unbridled madness.
