795: Chapter 789: Show Him the Booklet 795: Chapter 789: Show Him the Booklet She was suddenly startled and said, “Oh my, it couldn’t be that the Heavenly Master’s illness is incurable.”
Searcy glanced at Xiang Chun with the look one gives an idiot, having no intention of wasting a single word on her.
According to Gu Youyou, Searcy considered herself to have an off-the-charts IQ, and absolutely wouldn’t bother conversing with ordinary, foolish mortals.
In front of the dilapidated hut on the back mountain, Jin Zijin finished reading the booklet given to him by Gu Youyou, his entire body trembling.
He knew his mother had lived a hard life, but he didn’t know that she had died under those circumstances.
He was too young at the ti, his mories of his mother were vague, he couldn’t even rember what she looked like.
Gu Youyou gently placed her hand over his and said, “The things written in here need to be verified, you shouldn’t believe them completely.
It’s good enough that you know about this!”
Jin Zijin was unable to speak for a long ti, silently taking out flint to ignite the booklet.
The booklet was ant to be burned and not kept, so Gu Youyou did not stop him.
Seeing the booklet turn to a pile of ash, Jin Zijin asked in a hoarse voice, “Who gave this to you?”
Gu Youyou said, “It’s that pervert blocking the door.
His na is Lun Tong.
I heard he’s an old acquaintance of your master.”
“So it’s him?” Jin Zijin murmured with a bitter smile, “He’s not called Lun Tong; he’s called Lun Yu.
Lun Tong was his mother, who indeed accompanied my mother through the final part of her life.
He probably disguised himself as his mother to deceive my father.”
Oh…?
This damned pervert, actually disguised himself as his own mother.
“Unfortunately, my father was confused and might not have recognized him in his monts of lucidity.”
Gu Youyou thought to herself: That’s true.
“Then what about Bai Xiaosheng?
His mother, huh?”
Jin Zijin said, “Apart from liking to collect all sorts of information, Lun Tong had another skill, which was disguise.
Her disguises were so convincing it made it easy for her to obtain secrets.
But I haven’t seen her for over ten years, I believe she went abroad.
She had a son, who was flesh and blood, and he inherited her techniques.
The disguise I wore in Lotus Village was crafted by Lun Yu.
Besides this son, she also took a female apprentice, and that was Yi Yan.”
Gu Youyou realized, no wonder both he and Yi Yan liked to cross-dress.
However, she was quite surprised that Jin Zijin was so familiar with this Lun Yu.
The mountain wind scattered the ashes of the burnt booklet.
Jin Zijin sighed deeply, stood up, and said, “Marquess gave his child to the mountains to accompany and has helped in many ways, all because of my mother…”
At that ti, the concept of loyalty among won was indeed perverted; even if the man was scum, his wife was expected to remain loyal.
Gu Youyou, afraid that Jin Zijin might misunderstand sothing, said, “Your mother only regarded Marquess as a benefactor.
After so many years, Marquess must have moved on.”
“Yes, I know,” he said.
Good, he hadn’t misunderstood.
Gu Youyou asked, “So what do you plan to do now?
Your mother had Lun Tong promise to ask the emperor a question on her behalf, but as a commoner, Lun Tong surely couldn’t ask a question of the emperor in the palace.
Shall I help you ask?”
Jin Zijin was silent for a mont before saying, “Let’s talk about it later!”
Gu Youyou had arrived at Qi Mountain in autumn, had already gone through the winter, and spring was nearly over, with sumr approaching.
She couldn’t help asking, “When can I go back?”
As Jin Zijin led her down the mountain, he said, “If you want to co back, start packing in the next few days.
You’ll return with in two days.”
Gu Youyou wore a surprised expression, as she thought he would again say to wait.
She hadn’t expected to be able to leave in just a few days.
