Chapter 272 - 272 Real Trouble
272 Real Trouble
Seeing how worked up Uncle Yu was, Qiao Yanhui was shaken. Ao Heng was his biological father. Uncle Yu wasn’t related to him by blood, but he was ten thousand times better than Ao Heng. Uncle Yu really doted on his mother like a daughter and loved him like a grandson.
Uncle Yu became filled with hatred as he recalled more memories. “After the Qiao family’s old couple passed away, your mother and I decided to leave. We wanted to leave right after taking care of the Qiao family’s courtyard… Unexpectedly, we met that bastard Ao Heng! When your mother was still ignorant about love, he deceived her and let her down. At that time, I was filled with hatred and wanted to kill Ao Heng, but your mother was already pregnant with you at that time… I was useless and didn’t protect her well. I only found out later that Ao Heng was actually so paranoid. He knew that your mother was the Qiao family’s adopted daughter, but he was still worried…”
Qiao Yanhui was also filled with killing intent.
“Just as your mother was about to give birth, the Ji family came looking for me. In order to lure those people away, I missed your mother’s delivery. When I returned, your mother had already passed away. Beside her were you, Qiao Yanqi, and Ao Heng, who had a murderous look on his face. I saw that Ao Heng actually wanted to strangle you to death, so I rushed over. Unfortunately, I was seriously injured and couldn’t kill Ao Heng. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to escape, so I could only carry you and Qiao Yanqi and run away, leaving you in Tang Wanzong’s care. I went to ask about your mother again and found out that she had been set up by Lin Shu, while Ao Heng turned a blind eye to it. Don’t listen to the people outside who said that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family wasn’t in good health, so she didn’t make it through the delivery. Ao Heng used that lie to trick the commoners. Because he married the Qiao family’s orphan, even though he knew that Ji Qing was an adopted daughter, he pretended not to know! Your mother could have given birth to you two safely, but in the end…” Uncle Yu became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he wished he could kill Ao Heng.
“Even after the Ji family confirmed your mother’s death, they still refused to let her off and wanted to bring her corpse back to be flogged as a warning to others. It’s ridiculous, right? These are our people. Later on, when they found out that your mother gave birth to you guys, they wanted to capture you and Qiao Yanqi and bring you guys back to suffer in your mother’s place. If not for Tang Wanzong’s protection, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to protect you guys all alone. However, they’re a secret family after all, so they’re quite capable. Although they couldn’t take you guys away immediately, the Ji family made an agreement with Tang Wanzong. Twenty-five years later, they will personally take you and Qiao Yanqi away. At that time, Tang Wanzong won’t be able to stop them. As for the timing, it was set by Tang Wanzong, but I don’t know why,” Uncle Yu said and couldn’t help but look at Qiao Yanhui. There was still more than a year before Qiao Yanhui turned twenty-five years old and it would be time for the Ji family to come.
Qiao Yanhui’s gaze darkened. No wonder Uncle Yu suddenly told him so much. So there were actually so many things he didn’t know about.
“Then where is the family?” Qiao Yanhui’s body was filled with intense killing intent as he asked.
“Little Hui, what do you think of my martial arts skills?” Uncle Yu wasn’t in a hurry to answer Qiao Yanhui, but asked instead.
“Very strong.” Qiao Yanhui frowned slightly when he suddenly remembered that Uncle Yu had said that in order to protect his mother back then, Uncle Yu’s martial arts skills deteriorated… Qiao Yanhui’s pupils dilated. Therefore, the Ji family was stronger! But so what? How could he let go of people who dared to treat his mother like that and wanted to control his fate?
“I didn’t tell you before because you couldn’t resist. But things are different now. You have enough power. Moreover, after your poison is detoxed, I believe you will be a match for those old fellows.” Uncle Yu had a look of certainty and determination. As soon as he finished speaking, he said with killing intent, “Don’t let them live! That family is already rotten to the core…”
It could only be said that what Uncle Yu revealed about the Ji family was only the tip of the iceberg.
Finally, Uncle Yu said meaningfully, “There are many secret families with unfathomable abilities on the continent we’re in. They hide in a corner of the continent and pay attention to the movements of the continent at all times. They’re not under the management of any country, nor do they participate in the affairs of these countries. It can be said that they have their own system. Perhaps Tang Wanzong knows the abilities of these secret families better than I do. However, Little Hui, you have to remember that before you detox the poison in your body, you can’t fight them head-on.”
“I understand. Thank you, Uncle Yu.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t ask further. He knew everything he wanted to know. As for the other information, he would wait until he finished detoxing.
When Qiao Yanhui returned, his expression was a little solemn. Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui worriedly, then Qiao Yanhui told Xu Qing what Uncle Yu had said.
Xu Qing fell silent because she began to suspect what world she had transmigrated to. She didn’t expect Qiao Yanhui’s mother’s identity to be so… strange. She could only say that the real trouble would begin next. Comparing the two, Xu Qing only wanted to say, Ao Heng was nothing.
