Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 724: Qianqian’s Identity!

At that moment, someone said weakly, “Did you guys notice that this painting looks exactly the same as the mural on the wall?”

Everyone immediately reacted and compared the two. They realized that other than the worn-out part, the rest were identical.

“Looks like Xiao Buyi really did leave us some guidance!”

Tang Yiming said slowly, “But why did he leave behind two identical guides? And what does the contents of this mural mean?”

Tang Yiming’s words completely stunned everyone!

That was right!

What was Xiao Buyi trying to tell everyone by leaving behind this painting?

Luo Shuiyao snapped, “If you ask me, Xiao Buyi is just trying to trick us. If he really had any guidance, why didn’t he just write it down? Why did he have to create a pattern for us to guess?”

“How can we understand the thoughts of such a powerhouse!”

Old Celestial Master Zhang Wuming shook his head slightly. He then laid the painting on the ground and said with a frown, “It seems that we can only rely on this painting to understand the information about the ghost ship.”

Master Yizhen said, “That’s right. Fortunately, the pattern on this sheepskin scroll is clear enough. Everyone, take a closer look and see if you can see anything!”

“Did you guys notice that there are three parts on this parchment scroll?”

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, “The first one looks like a voyage. There are many soldiers on it, but these people don’t look like soldiers at all.”

“That’s right!”

Zhang Wuming nodded and said, “From the looks of these people, they seem to be Chinese. However, I don’t even recognize the style of their clothing.”

At this point, he pointed at the middle-aged couple that was worshiped by many soldiers in the first part of the painting. He frowned and said, “Especially this middle-aged couple. They’re like ancient emperors, surrounded by these people.”

“Could this middle-aged couple be the emperor and concubine of some dynasty?” Luo Shuiyao’s interest was piqued, and she started to size them up.

“No!”

Yuan Qitai shook his head and said, “Banshan knows quite a bit about ancient history, but I’ve never seen such a warship or attire. Moreover, this middle-aged woman doesn’t have the aura of an emperor judging by her face. She seems like an ancient general leading an expedition!”

“Let’s not worry about that for now. Let’s look at the second part!”

Ye Chen interrupted everyone’s confusion. He fixed his gaze on the second part of the painting, “This part is easier to understand than the first one. Clearly, when the ship was sailing somewhere, many people suddenly charged over from the sea. There was an intense battle between the two parties.”

He paused.

It was because he realized that the people on the surface of the sea were all walking on the waves, and they were all Chinese martial artists. The thing that shook him the most was…

When the middle-aged couple was surrounded by these people, there was a four or five-year-old girl behind them. The girl was dressed in a luxurious outfit, and she looked as cute as a porcelain doll.

‘Why is it her?!’

Ye Chen was stirred at that moment!

It was because he realized that the girl in the painting looked a little similar to Qianqian, especially her eyes. They were exactly the same!

Zhang Wuming could not help but ask, “Mr. Ye, what’s wrong?”

“Ye Chen, are you alright?” Luo Shuiyao asked in concern.

“I’m fine!”

Ye Chen shook his head without batting an eyelid. However, a storm was brewing in his heart along with all sorts of guesses.

‘Why does the girl in the painting look so similar to Qianqian?

And what was the relationship between that middle-aged couple and Qianqian?’

“Just as Mr. Ye said!”

Zhang Wuming continued, “The contents of the second part of the painting should’ve been an attack by an outsider. The people on the ship were either dead or injured, and the little girl behind this middle-aged couple must be their daughter…”

“Brother…”

Right at this moment, Luo Shuiyao suddenly whispered to Luo Tianya beside her, “I realized that the little girl in the painting looks a little like the one we’re looking for…”

“Don’t spout nonsense!”

In fact, Luo Tianya had already guessed it. Now that he heard that his younger sister felt the same way, he could not help but feel shocked and hurriedly stopped her.

At the same time, Tang Yiming, Liu Yunfeng, Xiang Nan, Tong Shuhui, Xiao Yuanjing, Bai Shaoyu, and the rest all had strange expressions on their faces, but no one said anything.

Although Luo Shuiyao’s voice was neither loud nor soft, Ye Chen still heard her. He was even more certain of his guess now!

Based on what he knew, when the ghost ship appeared 20 years ago, other than Shi Qianhan, the rest of the people who boarded the ship were either dead or injured. However, there was an elderly man and a young person who came out alive from the ghost ship.

The appearance of this young and elderly shocked the entire Shang Santian because no one could find out the identities of these two people. At that time, many powerhouses attacked them, but in the end, more than half of them were killed by that madman.

The old and the young were Qianqian and Grandpa Sun. They had appeared on the ghost ship. Connecting the girl in the painting, Ye Chen suspected that Qianqian was the girl in the painting.

The middle-aged couple must be her biological parents. However, what confused him was who was that Grandpa Sun? Why did he abandon Qianqian, and why did Qianqian lose her memory and end up on the streets?

At that moment, Yuan Qitai took a deep breath in and suddenly said, “Mr. Ye, the people fighting on the ship are all powerhouses. Each of them are walking on water. At the very least, they’re Martial Dao masters.”

Master Yizhen’s expression changed as well, “That’s not all. Did you guys notice? The place where they fought seemed to be Wu River!”

As the two of them spoke, the faces of Bai Shaoyu, Xiao Yuanjing, and the others twitched slightly. They looked very unnatural, and killing intent flashed in their eyes as they looked at Yuan Qitai and the other man.

Ye Chen took a good look at them and changed the topic, “Let’s look at the third part of the painting.”

Needless to say, he had already guessed that the group of powerhouses in the second part of the painting who had charged onto the ship like bandits were definitely from Shang Santian. Moreover, they were related to the Xiao Clan and the Bai family.

Dozens of them were nothing weaker than Martial Dao masters!

Only Shang Santian could produce such power!

Zhang Wuming and Master Yizhen looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, obviously having guessed something.

To ease the atmosphere, Zhang Wuming pretended to be ignorant and asked, “Mr. Ye, the first two paintings were acceptable, but why did the ship in the third part turn into something so creepy?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said profoundly, “Obviously, the ship on the third part is the ghost ship we’re on!”

“What?”

Everyone was shocked.

Yuan Qitai cried out in surprise, “Mr. Ye, are you saying that after the ship in the first and second parts of the painting underwent great changes, it became the ghost ship we’re currently on?”
