Chapter 233 The Truth
Is Xiao Jue acknowledging what I just asked him?

All of a sudden, I immediately replied to him: "What do you want me not to give the letter to Yunjing?"

But Xiao Jue replied a text message and asked me: "Do you still remember what was written in that letter?"

As soon as I read this text message, the sentence in the letter instantly appeared in my mind.

"The highest state of a chess player is to use himself as a pawn."

So, Xiao Jue knew about grandma's disappearance, but he pretended not to know and still played so many dramas in front of us?
I gasped and didn't move, but Xiao Jue sent me a message at this moment, asking if I wanted to know the truth of everything, if I wanted to come out and meet him, and then sent me an address.

To be honest, I was not too scared when I went out to see Xiao Jue in the middle of the night, because I had a faint feeling that something was about to be pierced.

But what I'm worried about is, I went out so late, what excuse should I use to tell Junli?

Should I tell Junli directly that I am going out to see Xiao Jue, or choose to keep Junli from it?

The moment he took a deep breath and was about to speak, Xiao Jue sent me another message, telling me not to let Junli know, and I came to find him.

In the end, I casually found a reason and told Junli that I was going out for a trip. Junli didn't respond much, but the suspicion in my eyes was intentionally placed in front of my eyes.

So much so that when I went out, I felt that Junli's gaze was always following my head.

It's not that I don't believe in Junli, and it's not that I don't believe in Yunjing so I hide it from them, but I suddenly have a sixth sense that there is something about that letter about Xiao Jue, it's best not to let them know.

Before going out, I brought a stack of yellow talismans for self-defense, but the place where Xiao Jue invited me was his house.

I have been calling Uncle Xiao Jue for more than 20 or [-] years. Although I did not live in his house or use a penny of his money when I came to Kunming to study, I have always lived outside and worked to support myself. After the incident, he still stayed at Xiao Jue's house for a while.

At this time, more than half a year has passed since my accident. I looked at this long-lost but very familiar uncle's house, and an inexplicable feeling came to my heart.

Uncle, oh no, Xiao Jue, sat on the sofa in the living room, saw me coming, and gave me a faint smile, his breath was very peaceful, and suddenly made me feel like the unfathomable uncle from before It looks like it's back again.

"Come and sit."

He spoke, and I walked towards him unhurriedly, and sat down in front of him. The light in his living room was not turned on very brightly, but turned on very dimly, which made people feel a faint sense of oppression.

It made my already tense heart even more tense——

Fortunately, at this time, I am no longer the reckless Xiao Xiao I was before. My heart is so nervous, but on my face, I am quite calm.

Xiao Jue and I stared at each other indifferently for a long time, no one spoke, not even blinked, as if time was frozen in this moment, I don't know how long it took before Xiao Jue showed something on his face Smiling, he said to me: "You are different from before."

I gave a faint "um" and didn't say anything, the tense atmosphere on my body gradually relaxed, and then, Xiao Jue said lightly: "However, you are becoming more and more like a troublesome face."

"I was originally a bad face, wasn't I?"

I smiled and answered, but he was taken aback when he got my answer, and then he said as if he was asking himself: "Sure enough, no matter how a person's identity and name change, the things in his bones will still not change."

I pretended not to hear, with that faint smile still on my face.

Xiao Jue didn't ask me the purpose of coming here, but opened the skylight and asked me bluntly, do you want to know why he and my grandma adopted him, and also asked me if I wanted to know why Bi Se lost a remnant soul on me at that time , Pretend to be a disaster face, such a low-end scam, he will be fooled.

When I heard Xiao Jue's words, I didn't answer him immediately, but stared at his face for a long time, trying to see some flaws in his face, but I couldn't see anything.

At the earliest time, I felt that Xiao Juecheng's mansion was deep, he was very shady, strategizing, scheming, and very powerful, he never did things that were thankless, let alone things that were not good for himself.

But what he did afterwards was far from the feeling he first expressed in front of my eyes.

Ever since I entered the tomb of Fuyan, activated the beauty map, escaped from the dead and was rescued by the master, and never called him uncle again, the impression he gave me was that he was extreme, reckless, paranoid, and rather brain-dead. Nothing else.

But looking at him so introverted now, why do I feel in the fog?
Instead of answering the question Xiao Jue asked earlier, I asked him instead: "What does it mean that the highest state of a chess player is to use himself as a pawn?"

Xiao Jue smiled, did not speak, but threw a question to me, asking me, has he ever harmed me?
I answered without hesitation: "Yes."

But after thinking about it, although Xiao Jue has harmed me before, every time he harmed me, he didn't kill me, instead he made me stronger?

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, Xiao Jue actually replied to me: "In a big game of chess, there are chess players and chess pieces, but no matter how the chess players make their arrangements, if they don't put themselves in danger in the game, they will not be able to move." Not a good game of chess."

"So you want to say that you set up such a big game before, and even used yourself as a pawn to harm me, so you wanted to help me?"

I opened my mouth with a half-smile, the sarcasm in my eyes was thick, but Xiao Jue just smiled lightly and didn't respond.

The scene suddenly came to a stalemate, I looked at him, and he looked at me, both of them had very clear eyes, as if they were waiting, waiting for a flaw to appear in the eyes of one of us.

In the end, I still lost.

It's not that I didn't have enough aura to look at him, it's that my eyes hurt too much. Fortunately, I turned passive into active and asked Xiao Jue the question that he had asked me before.

"Grandma took me in for so many years, did she really treat me? I'm not a fool, so I know. But your plot is not fake, no matter whether Bi Se's plot is obvious or not, but you have also been tricked into plotting against me, haven't you? "

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Jue gave a faint "hmm", instead of defending himself, he asked me if I had recovered the memories of Feng Shitian's time?
I didn't deny it, after all, in Feng Shitianli's memory, there is nothing to hide.

Seeing that I didn't deny it, he asked me again: "Then do you remember that Feng Shitian once rescued a child in a teahouse. That child was framed for stealing money, and he was whipped so pitifully?"

After hearing this, my eyes froze for a moment, and I glanced at Xiao Jue suspiciously, slightly twitching the corner of my mouth, and said with some amusement: "Don't tell me, that child is you."

Xiao Jue didn't respond, but a bit of pain flashed in his eyes, and he asked me again: "In Feng Shitian's memory, is there Xiao Jue?"

I thought about it carefully, shook my head, and said no.

It is precisely because Xiao Jue is not in Feng Shitian's memory that I find it strange!
Xiao Jue seems to have interspersed with my previous life, but even Gu Yicheng and Bi Se exist in Feng Shitian's memory, but there is no memory of Xiao Jue at all.

When Xiao Jue heard my decisive answer, his face was not very good-looking, but he insisted on asking me if I wanted to hear him tell a story.

When he speaks in this tone, I always have a feeling that he has something that has been hidden for a long time, and he is about to come out in the open.

I didn't answer him in a hurry, but asked him back at this moment: "You must have lied a lot before and pretended to be a lot, so tell me first why you did this, and then tell me why you pretended." After so long, now you have another tone of wanting to tell me the truth?"

"Are these important?" He asked me back, I nodded and said nothing, but he said: "If it is important, if you want to know, you can listen to me finish this story, and you will understand."

I didn't speak after listening, and put on a look of listening attentively, but Xiao Jue's eyes fell into memories at this moment.

He said that there was once a child of a clan, who was sent out of the clan by his mother and wandered outside because of intrigue and conspiracy in the family.

His mother did this to protect him, but it was also to allow him to accumulate his own strength outside, so that he could come back one day to take back everything he had.

But a child, who has been left outside since he was a child, how can he accumulate his strength?
