453: Chapter 0454: Martial Arts Secret Technique
He slightly lowered his head, refusing to look at Chu Ge.
In the end, it was Chu Ge who broke the silence first, “Zhao Wuji, you beca so agitated suddenly because of Huo Tianqian’s words.
Is it because the owner of the secret technique is related to you?
Or could it be that you know her?”
Zhao Wuji was startled, and then his cheeks mysteriously flushed red.
He smiled a bit awkwardly, “It seems nothing can be hidden from Mr.
Chu.”
Regarding the owner of the secret technique, Zhao Wuji truly had a past with her that couldn’t be spoken of.
However, whenever Zhao Wuji recalled that period of history, all he felt was regret and loss.
Seeing the sorrowful expression on Zhao Wuji’s face, Huo Tianqian was totally confused and asked hesitantly, “That…
the owner of the secret technique is a woman?”
Looking at the amorous yet despondent appearance on Zhao Wuji’s face, Huo Tianqian naturally thought of a woman.
Perhaps only a woman could bring forth such a sentintal look in a man.
Chu Ge was also full of curiosity as he looked at Zhao Wuji.
If he could hear so stories about the owner of the secret technique from Zhao Wuji, maybe he could find so clues within.
Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.
To obtain the secret technique, one must first understand the person.
Zhao Wuji’s gaze was fixed ahead, and if you were observant, you would notice that his focus was not sharp — looking ahead, yet as if he were seeing soone else.
“Yes, the owner of this secret technique is a woman, a woman about the sa age as .
She was very beautiful, with a beauty that was natural and unsullied.
Her voice was lovely, her smile sweet.
Being with her was the happiest ti of my life.”
Zhao Wuji was filled with emotion.
He seed to return to his youthful days.
“You were together…?” Huo Tianqian seed to have heard sothing astonishing.
If those two had a history together, why bother with an auction?
Just asking for a favor would do, wouldn’t it?
These were just thoughts Huo Tianqian had and didn’t say out loud.
Chu Ge too looked curiously at Zhao Wuji, not expecting Zhao Wuji to have such a history.
Looking at his now rippling expression, they must have been very affectionate back then.
Chu Ge gestured for Zhao Wuji to continue.
Zhao Wuji, sowhat embarrassingly scratching his head, said, “Yes, we once had a lovely first love.
If it weren’t for , perhaps she would be my wife now.”
What does that an?
Huo Tianqian’s lips parted, could it be that this Zhao Wuji is scum?
He was just about to interrupt Zhao Wuji when he suddenly t Chu Ge’s warning gaze.
His heart skipped a beat, and he forced the words back down his throat.
“We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, feeling affection for each other since we were very young.
Only after we beca adults did we establish a romantic relationship.
Later, we both got admitted to the sa university and imagined our future together.
But just when I graduated from college, my family suddenly said they wanted to arrange a blind date for .
I told my family about our relationship, and to achieve their goal, they went to see her and even brought out money to humiliate her.
After I found out, I had a huge fight with my family, ran away from ho, and eloped with her.”
Chu Ge refreshed his understanding of Zhao Wuji; he had always thought that Zhao Wuji was a very rigid person, but he never expected that he was also so impetuous in his youth.
“The ti during our elopent was hard as we were both penniless, but we were happy.
That might have been the happiest ti of our lives, but good tis don’t last.
Soon, I received news from ho that my grandfather was seriously ill, and the hospital had issued a critical condition notice.”
Thinking back on this, Zhao Wuji’s heart ached again.
His eyes gradually reddened, “At that ti, I didn’t believe what my family said, thinking it was an excuse to trick
into coming back.
Three days later, when I saw on the news that my grandfather had passed away, I realized it wasn’t an excuse; it was true.”
Zhao Wuji took a deep breath.
It had been a long ti since he revisited this past.
Although years had gone by, and he thought he could look back indifferently, his heart still ached as before.
“Grandfather was the kindest person to
in the entire family, and he was the one who supported our love and marriage, the only one who supported .”
Regrettably, he didn’t even get to see him one last ti.
“After seeing the news, I completely broke down.
I rember rushing back ho and staying by my grandfather’s coffin for three days and nights.
And then…”
Zhao Wuji sighed lightly, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips, “During those three days, we didn’t contact each other, as if there was an unspoken understanding, suddenly not reaching out to each other anymore.
Until the day I got engaged, she suddenly appeared at my engagent banquet and just watched
quietly.
I knew she hated .”
Chu Ge looked at him puzzled, “Why didn’t you contact each other?
Weren’t you lovers?
Even if you didn’t rush back for your grandfather’s death, you can’t bla her for this fault, can you?”
Huo Tianqian listened with a baffled expression, “Mr.
Chu, Mr.
Zhao seems not to have said…”
“Yes!” Zhao Wuji nodded heavily, his head hanging down, a picture of dejection, “At the ti, I blad all the guilt of not returning in ti and my grandfather’s death onto her, which is why we didn’t contact each other during those days, and I never initiated contact with her afterward.”
“What about her?” At this point, Huo Tianqian really wanted to curse him as scum, but he couldn’t and didn’t dare.
“She ca to find
a few tis, but was driven away by my family.
She’s a person with pride.
The fact she lowered her head to co looking for
several tis was already very rare.”
Zhao Wuji sighed lightly, the past was past, and reminiscing would only bring him sadness.
“She’s doing well now, although I don’t know why she suddenly wanted to auction the secret technique, but…”
Zhao Wuji looked up at Huo Tianqian, speaking earnestly, “She is a woman of loyalty and principle, certainly not what you described, that sentence…”
That sentence, he couldn’t even bring himself to say, nor did he want to.
Huo Tianqian was extrely frustrated at this point.
If he had known about the history between Zhao Wuji and the owner of the secret technique, he never would have said those words.
“Does she practice Ancient Martial Arts?” Chu Ge suddenly asked.
Zhao Wuji nodded gently, “She knows a little, but so much ti has passed, I don’t know her current strength.”
“Since she knows Ancient Martial Arts, why would she auction off the secret technique?
Isn’t this a Martial Arts Secret Technique?”
