Chapter 24: A Shocking Revelation... Here It Comes!:
“Our families always have no bad blood?”
“Zhou Xingyun, you old s.coundrel, have you spent these decades just thickening the skin on your face?”
“You speak so righteously, without a hint of embarrassment.”
“A few years ago, you hired someone to use spirit communication to interfere with my grandfather's cultivation, causing his old injuries to flare up. Did you really think no one would find out?”
Facing Zhou Xingyun's questioning, Ye Wuhen replied calmly. He had figured this out in one of his previous lifetimes.
In the Dongxing Kingdom, the position of City Lord wasn't fixed. It was usually determined by the strength of the city's major families.
A few years ago, the three major families in Qingyun City were the Ye family, the Zhou family, and the Nalan family.
The heads of these three families were all in the middle-stage Qi Sea Realm. Generally, this situation wouldn't affect the transfer of the City Lord's position.
However, Ye Hongfeng's cultivation progress at that time showed signs of making a breakthrough to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, causing Zhou Xingyun, the City Lord, to panic. SO, he found a person proficient in spirit communication to deliberately disrupt Ye Hongfeng's cultivation, triggering his old injuries and leading to the Ye family's decline.
Spirit communication was extremely mysterious, and few in Qingyun City understood it.
Zhou Xingyun carried out this act very secretly, and for many years no one discovered it. Even Ye Hongfeng himself always thought it was due to his own lack of focus during cultivation that caused the mishap!
But no secret could last through Ye Wuhen's countless reincarnations!
Ye Wuhen had long uncovered everything. Because of this, each time he left Qingyun City, he would resolve this matter to eliminate future troubles.
“What? The old master of the Ye family’s flare-up was actually caused by the City Lord's... ?”
“No... no way! The City Lord usually seems so kind and charitable, not like that at all!”
“But come to think of it, a few years ago there really was a mysterious person at the City Lord’s mansion. I remember because they looked so odd, prematurely aged.”
“No wonder Ye Wuhen stormed the City Lord’s mansion so fiercely!”
The crowd was in an uproar, their discussions non-stop.
“Ah... He actually schemed against me?”
Ye Hongfeng was also a bit stunned. He had always wondered what Ye Wuhen was up to. Hearing the cause and effect, he realized it was because of him.
What left him speechless was that he wasn’t the first to notice about Zhou Xingyun's scheme. However, recalling that strange incident during his cultivation, many things started to make sense.
“You... you brat, don’t spew nonsense and slander!!!”
“I, Zhou Xingyun, am upright and just. How could I do such a thing...”
“Besides, a few years ago, you were just a kid. If you want to frame me, at least come up with a better excuse!!!”
Naturally, Zhou Xingyun denied Ye Wuhen’s accusations, and rebutted angrily. But his mind was in turmoil.
What was happening???
This matter was long in the past, and he had been at ease with it. Yet, it was now being exposed by this youngster!
“As you wish. Whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter. We both know the truth.” Ye Wuhen said with a light laugh.
He didn’t care about Zhou Xingyun's confession.
If it weren’t for his grandfather needing clarity, Ye Wuhen wouldn't even bother with this scoundrel.
Of course... there was one more thing Ye Wuhen was eager to reveal.
“By the way, old man, about what you just said regarding your son Tianyu.”
“Tsk tsk... I can’t help but tell you a secret.”
“Do you really think Zhou Tianyu is your biological son?”
“From his eyebrows to his build, to his hobbies and habits, do you see any resemblance to you at all?”
“Have you never suspected anything?”
As Ye Wuhen finished speaking, the expressions of the surrounding crowd were as colorful as could be. It was here, it was really here!
Earlier, when Ye Wuhen mentioned finding Zhou Tianyu's real father, the crowd's curiosity was piqued.
Nothing grabs attention like a family scandal.
Initially, everyone thought Ye Wuhen was just mocking Zhou Tianyu. But now, he repeated it seriously in front of Zhou Xingyun, and the crowd's excitement exploded!!!
There might really be a huge surprise here...
But what people couldn’t imagine was that this surprise was even bigger and more thrilling than they had anticipated!
