Chapter 43: Strange Background and Inherited Jade Pendant
"In that case, let me start from the beginning."

Wei Lin sighed, and for a moment his expression was lost in memories.

"Do you know why Yue Shan wanted to murder me?"

Fang Xun was stunned. He was planning to interrogate Yue Shan, but Lian Teng slashed his neck with a sword and the man could no longer speak.

Thinking of this, he cursed Lian Teng again in his heart.

Wei Lin didn't know what his disciple was thinking, so he just said to himself: "Nineteen years ago, the Zhou family, a prominent family in Jinling Prefecture, colluded with the Tianli Cult and was executed."

Fang Xun frowned immediately upon hearing this. He knew nothing about what happened nineteen years ago. It might have spread all over the streets at the time, but after so many years, almost no one would bring it up again.

But the plot sounded familiar to him. Last month, the Dongfang family was also exterminated for colluding with the Tianli Sect.

'Are the Zhou family and the Dongfang family really colluding with the Tianli Sect?'

A hint of doubt subconsciously arose in Fang Xun's heart.

Wei Lin had no idea what his disciple was thinking, so he continued to tell the story.

"I am a close friend of Old Master Zhou. From what I know about him, I know that his family must have been framed. However, my words were not taken seriously, and I had retired from the underworld by then, so I could only stay out of it to protect myself."

"However, half a year before the incident at the Zhou family, Old Master Zhou seemed to have noticed something in advance and secretly made a series of arrangements."

"He sent his confidant to secretly come to Sanshui County with a letter and two objects and delivered them to me."

"Half a year later, the Zhou family was involved in an incident and the entire family was executed. Half a year later, I went to Jinling Prefecture, claiming to be visiting a friend, but in fact I was looking for a baby that a prostitute had just given birth to."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun immediately asked, "That baby is me? Is my biological father from the Zhou family?"

Wei Lin nodded.

“That’s right, but don’t feel too burdened.

Your biological mother is just a prostitute, and your biological father is just a dandy son of the Zhou family. Old Master Zhou made this arrangement just to conceal the truth and leave a trace of bloodline for the Zhou family to continue."

Listening to his master's narration, Fang Xun gradually understood the whole story.

Nineteen years ago, Old Master Zhou realized from some clues that the Zhou family might be in danger of disaster, so he began to make arrangements in advance.

First, he sent a secret letter to Wei Lin, and then he made an inconspicuous playboy in his family get pregnant with a prostitute.

Half a year later, the Zhou family was found guilty and all the members were executed. Half a year later, the brothel girl gave birth to Fang Xun, who was then discovered by Wei Lin who "happened" to pass by. Seeing that he had excellent talents, he adopted him as his son to pass on his knowledge.

All of this is just to allow the Zhou family bloodline to continue in the world.

"Old Master Zhou gave me two items, a magical silkworm glove and a jade pendant that contains the master's unique skills. As for the silkworm glove, I plan to pass it on to you after you become a congenital being.

As for the inherited jade pendant, Old Master Zhou once told you in a letter that if you have no hope of breaking through to the innate realm, then just treat the jade pendant as if it doesn't exist, live your life well, and continue the Zhou family's incense."

Fang Xun nodded and asked, "Master, I know my life story, but what does this have to do with Yue Shan?"

Wei Lin sneered and said, "I don't know where Yue Shan got the news from. He guessed that the Zhou family's inherited jade pendant was in my hands. He subdued me and interrogated me, but I refused to admit it.

Not only that, that guy also wants to catch you and take you to Tianwang Water Village. " Fang Xun sneered when he heard this. Yue Shan really treated him like a child, thinking that he would go up the mountain with him wholeheartedly if he just said a few words to him.

There is still a bright future waiting for him in the Six Gates. Even if his master is gone, his connections in Guangling Prefecture and even the entire Jiangzhou are still there.

How desperate must he be to follow the other party and become a bandit?
Thinking of this, he asked again: "Master, do you know the power behind Yueshan? It's not Tianwang Water Village, but something behind it."

From the performance of Yue Shan and Ba Hongming, he seemed to be not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but on equal terms. Although Tianwang Water Stronghold was strong, it was still not on equal terms with Tianli Sect.

Wei Lin's face suddenly darkened: "He has imprisoned me for these days, maybe he didn't want to save my life, so he told me some things.

There are other forces behind Tianwang Water Stronghold, but Yue Shan, a small pawn, doesn’t know the details.”

Fang Xun thought to himself that first the head of the Dongfang family was assassinated by Du Feng, and then it was revealed that they were colluding with the Tianli Cult. Someone must have framed them.

Yue Shan was just a leader of Tianwang Water Stronghold and not a member of the Tianli Sect. However, he worked together with Ba Hongming, a member of the Tianli Sect. I also found a coded account book on each of them.

It is obvious that the Dongfang family and the Zhou family secretly represent another force.

It's just that the forces behind the Tianwang Water Stronghold and the Tianli Sect coveted the master's unique skills hidden by the Dongfang Family and the Zhou Family, so they deliberately framed the two families.
As Fang Xun thought about it, cold sweat unconsciously seeped out of his forehead. He did not feel the slightest bit of joy about the possibility of inheriting two more magical skills. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart.

He felt that he and his master had been inadvertently drawn into a terrifying vortex.

Fortunately, they were only on the edge of the vortex, and were facing only small pawns like Yue Shan and Ba Hongming, otherwise they would have been crushed to pieces in an instant!

Seeing his disciple's expression, Wei Lin smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, this is all Tianwang Water Village's own decision, trying to please the power behind them, otherwise it wouldn't just be Yue Shan who came to us."

Fang Xun was still worried after hearing this. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand which contained the "Record of Essence and Essence Cultivation" and said.

“The Zhou family’s inherited jade pendant requires my blood to open, but what about the Dongfang family’s jade pendant?

Master, please don't tell me that the prostitute has the blood of the Dongfang family."

He has the Zhou family blood, but he can also open the blood inheritance artifact of the Dongfang family. It's strange no matter how you look at it.

Although the Dongfang family is not as prosperous as the Zhou family, it is also a family that has existed for more than 300 years. Moreover, one is in Jinling Prefecture and the other is in Guangling Prefecture. It seems that the two families have nothing to do with each other.

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin's face also turned confused: "I really don't know what's going on with Guangling Prefecture's Dongfang family. Why can your blood also open their family's inheritance jade pendant?"

Fang Xun shook his head and sighed, saying, "Master, you may not know that the Dongfang family was executed last month for colluding with the Tianli Cult.

And Ba Hongming and Yue Shan intercepted the Feiyingbao convoy last night for the inheritance jade pendant of the Dongfang family."

Wei Lin's face turned serious when he heard this.

Fang Xun continued, "There is one more thing. When I was on my way to Menghu Mountain, I saw someone disguised as you, the master, leading thousands of rebel soldiers of the Tianli Sect walking openly on the official road.

The other party did this not only to frame my master and cut off my retreat, but also with the greater goal of letting the Tianli Sect start an uprising in Jiangzhou.

The forces behind the Tianwang Water Stronghold just let their men suppress the bandits and suppress the rioters, so as to gain merit and gain gold medals! "
