C1352 Misunderstanding

"And you believed it?"

Duanmu Hongcheng nodded. "Then I returned to the Central Plains. Yes. I didn't know their true identities at that time, and I thought that they were related to the matter of Mount Hua. Thus, I searched everywhere for their whereabouts for more than a year. Only then did I realize that their leader was your eldest uncle. . . Yang Xu. Later on, they experienced a lot of things, such as the passing of Shadowless Wind Zhang Soong and so on. We were really tired of this world, so we went to Ghost Thief's Mansion. We stayed in the Ghost Thief's Mansion for more than ten years. After that, Yuchen left the Ghost Thief's Mansion for the second time. We came out with him. . . "

"Then, when did you recognize me?" Lin Yuhan asked again, "I don't think it was at the martial arts seminar, right?"

Duanmu Hongcheng shook his head. "Do you remember when you were outside Jiang City? There was a mysterious person who fought with you and me?"

"I see. " Lin Yuhan said,, "That's quite early. What happened after that?"

"After that, I followed you. . . "

"From Jiang City to One-Line Mountain, then to Sword Sect and Northern Desert?"

Duanmu Hongcheng nodded.

"Does grandmother know that you are still alive?"

"I don't know. " Duanmu Hongcheng said.

"Why?"

"This. . . " Duanmu Hongcheng wanted to say something but stopped himself. After a long time, it was obvious that there was something hidden.

Of course, Lin Yuhan did not ask further, "Before Alliance Master Lin died, did you tell him that you were still alive?"

"I didn't have time. I didn't have a chance!" Duanmu Hongcheng said.

"No time? No chance?"

"I also don't have the face and courage to face him. . . "

"So you let him die with hatred. " Lin Yuhan said.

The atmosphere on the scene was a little strange. This was much different from what Lin Yuchen had imagined when the father and son reunited. When he heard this, Lin Yuchen finally could not stand it any longer. He hurriedly ran to Lin Yuhan's side and held Lin Yuhan's arm as he said. " That, Second Brother, it's done. When you are so happy, don't be too conflicted. . . "

However, Lin Yuhan didn't seem to be willing to give up. "Do you know how guilty Alliance Master Lin is because of this matter?" His tone was as calm as ever, but it was inexplicably oppressive, and even suffocating.

"That. " Lin Yuchen quickly said again, "Second Brother. Doesn't my dad know about it now? Look at his memorial tablet! He must be very happy now that he has a spirit in the spring. Besides, there are some things that my father has done wrong. . . "

Lin Yuhan ignored him and continued," When I returned to the Sword Sect from the Northern Desert, I was always entangled by a man in black. . . "

"It's me. " Duanmu Hongcheng nodded.

He looked at Lin Yuhan and nodded. "When I was young, I was always entangled by a man in black who looked like a ghost. So, that man in black. . . "

"It's me too. " Duanmu Hongcheng said again.

When these words came out, Lin Yuchen was completely dumbfounded. It was like a bolt from the blue. After all, during that period of time, Lin Yuchen had been standing beside Lin Yuhan. Lin Yuchen was very familiar with the influence that the ghostly shadow had on Lin Yuhan.

"Didn't you say that you didn't know what happened when you came back to life?" He heard Lin Yuhan say, "I know. "

Everyone looked at Lin Yuhan.

"If I'm not wrong, it's the Past Life Gu of Miaojiang. " Lin Yuhan said, "Alliance Master Lin must have planted the Gu into your body while fighting you. The three Heart and Bone Piercing Nails seemed to have pierced through your heart meridian, but in fact. . . He injected the medicinal powder into your body and activated the Past Life Gu. My father. . . Alliance Master Lin had taught me this before. "

"It was originally like this. " Duanmu Hongcheng took a deep breath.

"That's right. " Lin Yuchen immediately said, "Look at what you have been doing all this time, right? If you had told me earlier. . . How could there be so many things?! Did you say that you were wrong? You must be wrong! " Then he looked at Lin Yuhan. "Actually, this matter can't all be blamed on uncle. After all, in that case, if it were me. . . I would also be stuck in a dead end. Right. I would definitely turn the world upside down. You said that pile after pile, one by one. . . Uncle, how much injustice did he suffer? It was all a misunderstanding, and since it had already been said, Don't be angry. . . Furthermore, we can't turn the tables around. If you want to blame something, blame that culprit. The culprit!" After saying that, he looked at Lee Longji who was in the room.

Lin Yuchen was full of anger, but for some reason. . . With just a glance, his heart softened again. Lin Yuchen didn't know why either. An aged face? A pathetic appearance? A dazed look? A wooden expression. Or messy white hair and the wound on his neck. . .

"That. " Lin Yuchen then turned to Duanmu Hongcheng. "Uncle, all these years, have you not wanted to investigate the Mount Hua Sect?"

"I have. " Duanmu Hongcheng replied.

"No results?"

Duanmu Hongcheng shook his head. "Actually, I already knew. "

"Know what?"

"Everything. "

"Everything?"

"Everything. " He looked at Lee Longji as he spoke. "Some things are indeed seen clearly by bystanders. Those who are involved are confused, but there are some things. No one can see more clearly than the person in question. Back then, I came to the Central Plains to investigate the truth of my adopted brother's disappearance, because I felt that this matter might have something to do with the disappearance of Reverend Zi Yang a few years ago. Thus, I went to the Lou Temple.

On the mountain of Lou Temple, I met Wang Ji, Sect Leader Wang. Venerable Ye and Venerable Luo were also in harmony. I didn't have any conflicts with Sect Leader Wang. After that, Sect Leader Wang and I left Lou Temple one after another. I was just about to head south to look for Houcheng, but I didn't go very far. I ran into a man who claimed to be a disciple of Mount Hua, and told me that Sect Leader Wang had some clues. He told me to go to Mount Hua as soon as possible. I didn't suspect anything, so I went. However, after arriving at Mount Hua, Sect Leader Wang really provided me with a very advantageous clue.

After that, I left Mount Hua. I didn't go far before I met a few people who claimed to be from the inner circle. They said that the Emperor heard that I had entered the Central Plains and wanted to meet me in the capital. They wanted to ask me about the border, but I had no doubt about it. I originally said that I would only stay for two days, but you stayed behind.

After seven days, you finally let us go. As soon as I left the Imperial Palace, I met countless warriors from the Central Plains. They said they wanted to kill me, and they even said that I killed Hua Shan's entire family for the Heavenly Book of Scale? Your Majesty, it's so obvious. Do I still need to investigate? "

" But. . . "This really surprised Lin Yuchen. " Then you. . . "

"Actually, it's not just me. " He heard Duanmu Hongcheng say, "Your masters and your father knew the truth about this long ago. "

"What?" Lin Yuchen was shocked again.
