People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon-Chapter 821 - : Xu Chang Qing’s Past (5)

Chapter 821: Xu Chang Qing’s Past (5)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Unfortunately, by the time I realized it, everything was already too late. Your parents, the Xu family, they were all gone…”

“In this world, you are my only remaining relative…”

“How could I hand over the secret techniques in such a situation? I hated them too much…”

“And they seemed to be intimidated by my iron-blooded demeanor, ultimately choosing not to kill you to restrict me, fearing that I would have no weakness…”

“I originally intended to kill you, then seek revenge against our enemies and die on the battlefield…”

“But when I saw your innocent smile and those clear, bright eyes, I hesitated…”

Xu Tian murmured, “At that moment, I thought, what fault does a child have, to be born just to die right after that?!”

“So, I thought of keeping you away from hatred and conflict. I applied for the position of envoy in Moon City and brought you here…”

“To give you a happy childhood, free from the disputes of the martial art world, I didn’t acknowledge you but made you an orphan…”

At this point, Xu Tian felt a bit ashamed, as if he regretted his decision back then.

“Unfortunately, I underestimated you…”

“After all, you carry my bloodline, how could you possibly be content with being in the background?!”

“Every time I saw your unyielding spirit, wanting to learn martial arts and become stronger, I was torn, wanting to reveal myself and help you…”

“But in the end, I didn’t dare to show up…”

“Until you were about to reach the third tier, I suddenly realized, since you wanted to walk your own path, why shouldn’t I help you?!”

“So, I orchestrated the cliffside encounter, providing you with extreme rank heaven level martial arts techniques and immortal medicine to help you advance with an extreme strong body.”

“Am I limit breaker?!” Xu Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, remembering that she seemed to be short of an immortal medicine.

“Hehe, silly girl, I dissolved one of the immortal medicine while you were unconscious, keeping it hidden all this time…”

Hearing this, Xu Chang Qing’s expression became complicated.

As an orphan, she used to fantasize about her family every day, thinking that maybe they abandoned her because they were poor or for some other reason.

Now, knowing the truth, she felt a bit lost, not knowing what to do.

However, having walked through the first half of her life alone, she had already developed a tenacious character.

“Can you teach me that incomplete technique: Crippled Symbol Art you mentioned?!”

“Of course!”

Xu Tian nodded and said, “You are my granddaughter, who else would I teach it to?”

At this point, he paused and added, “But Zhao Yu is an exception…”

Zhao Yu!

Xu Chang Qing suddenly remembered she still had a mission, and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian stopped her.

“Don’t rush!”

Xu Tian smiled and said, “You can leave Zhao Yu alone for now…”

“In the temple, I secretly transmitted the essence of the ‘Crippled Symbol Art’ to him…”

“If he can comprehend it, he may not be invincible at the third tier, but at least he can escape with his life…”

Xu Chang Qing felt a bit jealous hearing this, thinking that as Xu Tian’s granddaughter, she hadn’t learned the ‘Crippled Symbol Art’ yet he taught it to Zhao Yu first.

Xu Tian seemed to sense her internal struggle and smiled slightly, saying, “Zhao Yu is a ‘Special King Slayer Rank Five’, and different from any ordinary ‘King Slayer Rank Five’…”

“If he can master the ‘Crippled Symbol Art Technique’, when he reaches Qian City, he will attract everyone’s attention, thus reducing the focus on you…” Xu Chang Qing suddenly understood, Xu Tian was setting up a decoy to lessen the pressure on her.

As they were talking, a commotion could be heard in the distance.

Xu Chang Qing immediately looked outside vigilantly, only to find that the high-ranking members of the four great families had arrived, with almost all the family leaders present.

Xu Tian gave her a look, signaling her to stand behind him.

Xu Chang Qing hesitated for a moment but complied.

The leaders and elders of various families bowed in greeting upon seeing Xu Tian.

“Divine Envoy, the He family has gone mad. They are now frantically hunting down Zhao Yu and us. We humbly request your approval to purge the He family…”

The Wu family leader, being the head of the five major families, stepped forward and spoke.

Undoubtedly, the He family’s actions had already provoked the ire of the other four major families. After a brief discussion, they chose to seek approval from the temple envoy for a counter attack on the He family.

After all, to the Holy City, it didn’t matter who the five major families of Moon City were; what mattered was stability and obedience to the higher authorities.

Thus, changes among the five major families typically required reporting to the higher-ups.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t fall under Xu Tian’s jurisdiction, as he was merely stationed at the temple.

However, given the urgency of the situation, they sought Xu Tian. If he agreed, they would have a reason to respond even if someone from above came down.

As they spoke, the family members naturally noticed Xu Chang Qing standing behind Xu Tian, feeling puzzled.

They didn’ t understand why this person was behind the Envoy now.

Before they could ponder further, Xu Tian spoke.

“Leave the matter between the He family and Zhao Yu alone. Let them be…”

“What?!”

The four families had anticipated that Xu Tian would most likely grant their request.

However, his response left them quite astonished.

“But Zhao Yu is State City’s King Slayer Rank Five. If he dies here, the Holy City might hold us accountable…”

“Hmph, I said leave it alone, so leave it alone. If the Holy City holds anyone accountable, let them come to me!”

Xu Tian snorted coldly, an invisible aura spreading out.

The pressure of a fourth-tier expert left everyone speechless, and they could only bow and leave.

As they exited the bamboo forest, the members of the four major families were all bewildered.

“Why is the envoy who usually doesn’t intervene, now involving himself in the matter between Zhao Yu and the He family?!”

“Could it be that the He family has some connection with the envoy?!” “Impossible. Didn’t you notice that the person standing behind is Xu Chang Qing?!”

“Xu Chang Qing…”

As they recalled, someone speculated, “Xu Chang Qing rose to prominence suddenly as a third-tier expert. Do you think it has anything to do with the envoy?!”

“Very likely!”

When Xu Chang Qing had risen, they found it highly unusual and suspected she had a powerful backer.

It now seemed that the envoy was indeed Xu Chang Qing’s supporter.

“So, Xu Chang Qing’s cultivation method is either a high rank heaven level technique or an extreme rankheaven level technique…”

Everyone had speculated this, as Xu Chang Qing’s combat prowess far surpassed theirs.

The Zhuge clan leader, after some thought, whispered to an elder beside him, “Notify the family to send some young boys and girls to the temple, seeking opportunities to serve the envoy…”

After a pause, he added, “Especially find those good-looking girls and disguise them as boys. Maybe they’ll catch the envoy’s attention…”

Hearing this, the other families’ eyes lit up, and they gave similar instructions.

For such trivial matters, the Zhuge leader naturally saw no need to hide it. After all, there were no secrets among the few major families. Once they sent people, the other families would surely notice and follow suit.

“But if Xu Chang Qing is the envoy’s person, why doesn’t the envoy allow us to help Zhao Yu?!”

“Zhao Yu is clearly Xu Chang Qing’s protector!”

Some were puzzled, not understanding why the envoy was acting contrary to expectations.

“Unless…”

A hint of surprise appeared on the Zhuge family leader’s face as he said, “The envoy intends to use the He family as a whetstone for Zhao Yu…”

“A stepping stone?!”

Everyone present gasped.

“Using the He family as Zhao Yu’s whetstone, aren’t they afraid of breaking the blade?!”

In comparison, the He family’s power could crush a hundred Zhao Yus. Such a whetstone was too risky to use.

Various speculations arose, but none yielded a satisfactory answer, and the whetstone theory remained the most plausible.

” So what do we do now?!”

“The envoy forbade us from acting. What else can we do but watch the show?!”

“In this case, even if Zhao Yu dies and the Holy City sends someone to hold us accountable, we’ve already consulted the envoy…”

The members of the four major families thus dispersed, focusing on watching the unfolding drama.
