Chapter 629 - 232: Zhang Zhiyi Was Originally Called ‘Qu Shuishui’ (Part 4)

Not to mention that the documentary has to undergo official scrutiny by the Three Great Alliances first, cutting out some content that shouldn’t be seen by them, before being released publicly for free.

In those documentaries, they almost never see scenes of Mortal World people ’eating’.

Because the Divine Martial Realm is facing the severe problem of food shortages, if the myriad delicacies of the Mortal World were seen, it’s likely to cause riots.

She used to think the Mortal World lived more backward and pitiful lives than them, until she met her husband, tasted cuisine she’d never had before, and realized the Mortal World was only significantly behind in scientific civilization, but the happiness index of Mortal World people far surpassed that of Divine Martial Realm people.

Since then, her trust in the official side of the Three Great Alliances of the Divine Martial Realm greatly diminished.

Therefore, when hearing Xu Xingguang mention the Mortal World was encountering problems, Elder Tan Nan couldn’t help feeling worried and anxious.

Xu Xingguang tightly pursed her red lips, hesitating to speak.

"Come on, tell us!" Elder Tan Nan was dying of anxiety.

Xu Xingguang sighed before speaking, "A doctor exiled from the Divine Martial Realm to the Mortal World has secretly researched a mutating drug there and injected millions of young children in the Mortal World with it through vaccines."

"Currently, those children injected with the mutating drug have started transforming into monsters." Xu Xingguang’s eyes glistened with tears, squatting on the ridge, she said hoarsely, "If I cannot find a way to neutralize the mutating drug, those children will turn into mutated beasts devoid of humanity!"

Elder Tan Nan looked horrified.

"How outrageous!" Even though Elder Tan Nan had spent a lifetime in medicine, he’d never heard of such despicable acts. "The doctor, what’s the name!"

Xu Xingguang wiped her tears and whispered, "Seems to have the surname Qu, called Qu Yan..."

"Qu Yanling?" Xu Xingguang heard Elder Tan Nan mention Qu Yanling’s identity.

Elder Tan Nan had indeed heard of Qu Yanling’s identity.

She deliberately acted in this play to find out about Qu Yanling’s identity from Elder Tan Nan.

Last night, Xu Xingguang searched online for information about Qu Yanling, only to find a passport photo of Qu Yanling with a stamp saying ’Sin Slave’ on it.

But she couldn’t find out what crime Qu Yanling had committed.

Seeing Xu Xingguang kept silent, the impatient Elder Tan Nan couldn’t wait and pressed her further, "Is it Qu Yanling?"

Xu Xingguang nodded slightly, "Seems to be."

"Turns out it’s this Qu Yanling!" Elder Tan Nan displayed eyes full of contempt and disgust, mentioning Qu Yanling’s name as if referring to something filthy.

Xu Xingguang quickly asked, "Was this Qu Yanling exiled to the Mortal World for cheating like Ying Tu and the others?"

"You know Ying Tu?" Hearing Ying Tu’s name from Xu Xingguang, Elder Tan Nan was somewhat surprised.

What Xu Xingguang had to do, would eventually become public.

Elder Tan Nan was an elder of the Ying Clan, wielding high authority, it was better to speak the truth rather than lie in her presence.

However, Xu Xingguang wouldn’t be foolish to confess her identity with Ying Tu, Mo Xiaohan, and Nie Qiusheng, she only said, "I’m Lady Captain of the Huo Family, during my investigation into Qu Yanling’s crimes, I accidentally discovered Ying Tu’s existence."

"Oh, is that so." Elder Tan Nan casually asked, "Do you know Nie Qiusheng?"

Nie Qiusheng.

That’s her grandmother’s name, isn’t it?

Elder Tan Nan didn’t miss the flash of surprise in Xu Xingguang’s eyes, she narrowed her aged eyes thoughtfully and said, "You know too?"

Xu Xingguang gave a non-answer, "Elder Tan Nan also knows Senior Nie Qiusheng?"

Elder Tan Nan sighed before speaking, "She’s my first cousin." Elder Tan Nan was lost in thought for a moment before saying, "She, ah, grew to be very beautiful, and very smart."

Elder Tan Nan pointed towards Wuyuan Town and sighed, "My cousin grew up in Wuyuan Town, she was very clever, and at a young age was admitted to the academy over in Medicine King City, she was originally the pride of the entire Wuyuan Town."

Feeling complicated, Elder Tan Nan sighed, "But now, she’s become Wuyuan Town’s greatest shame."

Xu Xingguang moved her lips, feigning casualness and said, "Because of cheating, right?"

"Indeed." Elder Tan Nan’s expression turned solemn, she said, "The Hundred Medicines Conference is the most prestigious doctor’s competition event in the Central Yu Alliance, every doctor takes pride in being recognized by the Hundred Medicines Conference and receiving the Medicine King’s Legacy!"

"Being a doctor and cheating in the Hundred Medicines Conference is utterly intolerable by the entire Central Yu Alliance!" Bringing up Nie Qiusheng’s cheating, Elder Tan Nan utterly disapproved.

Yet she didn’t curse Nie Qiusheng, instead, she exhibited a sympathetic look. "Aunt was the hope of Wuyuan Town, perhaps she wanted to bring glory to Wuyuan Town too much and made a misstep."

"How did she live after going to the Mortal World?"

How did she live?

Her husband died cruelly at the hands of Zhang Zhiyi and those behind her while trying to save her and Ying Tu. Though she survived, she was like a living corpse. Later, she gave birth to her mother Mo Yinshu through a test tube but died depressed and lonely.

It could be said, a lifetime of suffering.

"It’s said she never married but had a daughter, the daughter was a commoner. Besides that, I’m not very clear."

Finding out Nie Qiusheng actually had a daughter in the Mortal World, Elder Tan Nan paused for a bit before speaking, "She was so proud, the man who made her willingly bear children must have been excellent."

Grandfather Mo Lingxiao sacrificed himself to save grandmother and brothers, he must have been a truly outstanding man.

"Indeed, very excellent."

Nodding, Elder Tan Nan took a teacup from her Storage Bag and drank a few sips before sitting on the ridge and talking about Qu Yanling with Xu Xingguang. "Qu Yanling was exiled five years after Ying Tu and the others were exiled to the Mortal World."

"What crime did she commit?"

"She didn’t commit any crime." Elder Tan Nan said, "Qu Yanling is from the Eastern Alliance, her parents were terrifying pirates who, relying on their strong superpowers, committed numerous evil deeds like murder and arson. Later, her parents were brought to justice and sentenced to death, and her collateral relatives were also sentenced to perform labor on Black Water Island, they must serve for three hundred years before returning to the East Ocean Continent."

"At nineteen, Qu Yanling slept with a senior official of the Eastern Alliance to escape punishment, stole a pass permit from him, and forged a criminal document to secretly hide in the Mortal World."

"Later, that senior official was also exiled to Black Water Island for dereliction of duty."

Smirking, Elder Tan Nan said with disgust, "This situation with Qu Yanling was pretty sensational back then, everyone used to call her Qu Shuishui."

Xu Xingguang never imagined that Zhang Zhiyi was exiled to the Mortal World to avoid punishment.

To avoid suffering from labor punishment, she used beauty to trade for a pass permit.

It seems, marrying Xiahou Shang for her own grand ambitions was nothing unusual.
