Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 513 – Remembrance of the Past; Startling Truth (3)

“Yes, Ancient Forefather. I will do that right away.” Mo Yuze did not turn that down but accepted it right away.

Mo Xuanzun smiled and said, “I can look into that for my father-in-law as well. I trust that we will be able to find out the truth shortly.”

The master and disciple duo said no more but each focused on looking into the past.

Everybody waited in anticipation.

Cheng Xiao Xiao did not just do nothing either. She communicated with Little Yuteng telepathically.

“The poison within Elder seemed complicated. Do you have any idea? Don’t tell me your hands are tied as well.”

“Trust me, Young Mistress!” Hearing the sense of worry inside Cheng Xiao Xiao’s tone, Little Yuteng was disgruntled. “Don’t worry, Young Mistress. I can take care of it. Not a problem at all!”

“Good. As long as we can rid him of the poison.” Cheng Xiao Xiao felt much better after Little Yuteng’s definitive answer.

“That wouldn’t be a problem, except that…”

Little Yuteng paused for a little before she carried on, “Young Mistress. I don’t think I will be able to get rid of his poison on the outside. We are going to have to contract him and bring him into the dimension. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Well, that….”

Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t guarantee on that one. After all, most of them here felt resentment toward being contracted. With the exception of the servants that Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t even bother to explain, as they really wouldn’t feel much difference, she would normally explain to families and obtain their consent before bringing them into the dimension.

“I think he’d be okay if it’s a family contract.”

“That’s up to you, Young Mistress. You can control over that anyway. Just play it by the ear.”

“Alright.”

While the two were communicating among themselves, Mo Yuze master and disciple duo had both returned from their respective readings. Mo Xuanzun was the first to aske Cheng Biyuan, “Father-in-law from what I could tell, the one who harmed you was, indeed, an elderly from Capital City. His cultivation level was that of a martial emperor. But he suppressed it down to that of a martial king when he was acting. As I have never met First Elder before, I am not able to say for sure whether it was him.”

“It was him. It was definitely him!” said Elder. “There may have been quite a few of martial emperor in Capital City back then, but he was the only one who would have so easily located Housemaster, who were traveling to build up his experiences at the time.”

Cheng Biyuan didn’t say a word but nodded slightly. He seemed to have already accepted that fact.

Mo Yuze put away the tortoise shell used in his scapulimancy[p1] and he looked grim. Every one looked at him with anticipation. After all, he should have more comprehensive details.

“In-Law, your First Elder was not related to the Cheng’s by blood, right?”

“What do you mean by that?” asked Cheng Biyuan, stunned.

Mo Yuze nodded and said, “If I am correct, he wasn’t a part of the Cheng’s.”

That was a shocking truth and every body was surprised. First Elder of the Capital City Cheng’s was not a Cheng’s? Then, who was he?

“Ugh…” Cheng Biyuan, stunned, turned and looked at Elder and asked, “Uncle, do you know anything about that?”

“……” Elder frowned deeply but did not respond right away. He seemed to be deep in thought.

After a while, he looked up slowly and with a solemn look, said in a low voice, “There is that possibility.”

Before Cheng Biyuan asked any further, he carried on, “When I was just a few years old, I recalled First Elder was brought home by your great grandfather. He didn’t elaborate on First Elder’s identity except that his last name was Cheng.

“The elderlies at the time did not ask too many questions. After all, your great grandfather was already an apex martial emperor at the time and the mightiest among the Cheng’s. Everybody just look at him as your great grandfather’s son, brother of your grandfather.

“I recalled that when he first arrived at the Cheng’s, he was particularly outstanding in his performance and he was also a quiet person. As his identity was a bit murky, some of the younger ones at the Cheng’s gossiped about him at the time. He then distanced himself even more from everyone and focused on cultivation quietly. Your great grandfather had provided him with plenty of resources and his wasn’t entirely untalented, so he was able to stay at the Cheng’s, barely.

“After he had become a martial master, he had gone a few times with other Cheng’s disciples to grind their experiences. Basically there would always be a few disciples who’d die or be handicapped during these trips. That’s normally to any families. There would be life and death situations when one grinds their experiences, so sometimes you’d have casualties. Nobody paid it any particular attention at the time, but now I realized that all the ones that we have lost were the ones that had antagonized First Elder in the past!

“Perhaps he wasn’t behind all of them, but I still trust that he was responsible for most of them. Especially with the way he is right now. He certainly had a lot to do with them!”
