Xiaoyao looked at Qi Bupo with confused eyes, and Qi Bupo seemed to sense Xiaoyao's confusion, continuing: "This is where your father deserves to die. In his heart, he still had Yun Qingyi. When Yun Qingyi appeared again, the three-person problem arose. A-Xue didn't mind having Yun Qingyi there first, but Yun Qingyi minded A-Xue's existence."

"Mm, women's jealousy can cause disasters. It's normal for grudges to form," Xiaoyao nodded. He couldn't know the specific details, and probably Qi Bupo wasn't very clear either. But there wasn't much point in discussing these matters anyway, the result was what it was.

"That's right. That Yun Qingyi forced your father to leave A-Xue. At first your father could still persist, but his stance wasn't very firm. Later he was still persuaded by Yun Qingyi. After all, their relationship was deeper than with A-Xue," Qi Bupo said. Even with cracks, their feelings were still there. Compared to Fang Chunxue, Luo Yuntian loved Yun Qingyi more.

Perhaps it was the same now, let alone back then!

The reason Luo Yuntian now cared more about Fang Chunxue was because he still felt deep guilt toward her, not because he loved Fang Chunxue more than Yun Qingyi.

"Are you resentful that he abandoned his wife and child?" Xiaoyao asked. If someone abandoned his sister and child, he believed he wouldn't be able to swallow this anger, he might kill that person.

"That was just the beginning. At first he didn't know A-Xue was already pregnant. After I found out, I went to settle accounts with them. Later, when your father learned A-Xue had a child, he immediately swore to take care of A-Xue, and we calmed down for a while," Qi Bupo said.

This should have been what happened in East Sea City at that time. Both sides brought great damage to the city and left deep memories for people.

"Originally this matter would have ended there. A-Xue being a concubine wouldn't have been a problem. But later they caused A-Xue's death and abandoned you. At that time I didn't know you were still alive, I thought you had died too," Qi Bupo said.

...

"Who killed her?" When Xiaoyao was listening to these events, he had already vaguely thought of this matter, how did Fang Chunxue die? Since Luo Yuntian was taking care of her, why would she still die?

He had already thought of some things. If someone else had killed Fang Chunxue, why would Luo Yuntian feel guilt? He should have sought revenge instead. His attitude toward Yun Qingyi indicated this matter might be related to Yun Qingyi.

"When I arrived, A-Xue was already dead. They had all left, but I knew A-Xue had been struck by the Floating Cloud Sect's Floating Cloud Palm. She was in confinement, her body was very weak, anyone could have killed her, let alone with the Floating Cloud Palm," Qi Bupo said.

"The Floating Cloud Sect's Floating Cloud Palm..."

"That's right. Both Luo Yuntian and Yun Qingyi knew this palm technique. At that time, no one else knew it, it must have been done by one of them. I know it should have been Yun Qingyi, but Luo Yuntian failed to protect A-Xue well. This point also deserves death. He couldn't even protect you, that makes him even more deserving of death," Qi Bupo said.

"Sigh, actually if I had been beside A-Xue at that time, this wouldn't have happened. Why did I have to go find those things when I knew A-Xue was about to give birth? I should have been by her side..."

Xiaoyao understood why Qi Bupo's resentment was so great. Besides resenting Luo Yuntian and Yun Qingyi, he was also resenting himself, feeling that if he had been there, such a thing wouldn't have happened.

"Although I don't know what happened back then, my mother's death should be related to the Floating Cloud Sect. Perhaps it was Yun Qingyi's doing, but she didn't kill me in the end, she just abandoned me near a small mountain village. Perhaps this matter wasn't her doing either. The people who came to find them and bring them back should have been from the Floating Cloud Sect," Xiaoyao said. At that time, some other people had appeared, and their uniforms seemed to be from the Floating Cloud Sect.

"I know about this matter. I'll settle accounts with the Floating Cloud Sect later, but your father and Yun Qingyi are equally implicated. Now that you're here, I probably can't kill your father, but I can make his life very unpleasant. So for this year, you'd better not leave, don't contact the outside world, just let him think you're dead, punish him a bit," Qi Bupo said.

This was fine. To resolve the grudge between Qi Bupo and Luo Yuntian, it was best to let Qi Bupo vent this resentment. Otherwise, he would find it hard to balance. A year it was then, there wouldn't be any problems anyway.

The problem now was, if Yun Qingyi was the one who killed Fang Chunxue, what should he do? Kill Yun Qingyi? Then Yinping would definitely be very sad.

Not killing Yun Qingyi would definitely make him uncomfortable. Although he had no impression of Fang Chunxue at all and had never even seen her face, she was his biological mother. This point was enough reason for him to personally slay his enemy.

Forget it, he'd have to wrong Yinping. If it really was like that, Yun Qingyi must die!

He hoped the person who acted wasn't Yun Qingyi...

"You think it's difficult to act against Yun Qingyi, I'll do it. No problem," Qi Bupo said. "Avenging A-Xue is something I should do anyway."

That's right. If it was Yun Qingyi who killed Fang Chunxue, then he'd let Qi Bupo do the deed. As long as someone killed Yun Qingyi, it was the same, he didn't necessarily have to kill her personally.

Xiaoyao didn't have that kind of obsession with personal revenge. Perhaps this was also because he and his mother had never been together. If Fang Chunxue had raised Xiaoyao, he would definitely have a strong desire to personally avenge her.

"Mm, I'll go ask my father about this. He should know but has been keeping it bottled up inside without saying anything. Actually, he's quite miserable too. For twenty years, he's been living in guilt. This punishment is enough," Xiaoyao said. These words were also meant for Qi Bupo to hear. Qi Bupo had twenty years of resentment, but Luo Yuntian also had twenty years of guilt. Neither had it easy.

"I know, but this year he must exchange places with me. At least he should suffer more than I have," Qi Bupo said.

"Whatever you want. I don't know how you joined Shadow Moon Valley, are you originally from Shadow Moon Valley?" Xiaoyao asked. Other matters could be discussed later. Right now he needed to understand the current situation, such as Shadow Moon Valley's circumstances.

Currently, Xiaoyao didn't even know what direction Shadow Moon Valley was in. If he wanted to return, he at least needed to know Shadow Moon Valley's location.

Although Xiaoyao knew where the Demon Domain was located, the Demon Domain was so vast that Shadow Moon Valley's position could change the direction of his return.

At the same time, traveling through the Demon Domain required a safe route. There were many dead ends and forbidden areas in the Demon Domain. Taking the wrong path could be fatal, it wasn't a matter of just walking in any direction.

"I was originally from Shadow Moon Valley. I went to the Divine Martial Continent to find materials for refining pills," Qi Bupo said. This also explained why the Fang family had thought he was from the Demon Cult. He was indeed from the Demon Sect, an existence even more terrifying than the Demon Cult.

Fortunately, he was from Shadow Moon Valley. If it had been someone from a place like Mystic Demon Mountain, Fang Chunxue would have died long ago, Xiaoyao wouldn't exist, and those grudges and romantic entanglements wouldn't have happened either.

"What pills were you refining?" Xiaoyao asked casually.

"This is Shadow Moon Valley's secret. I can only tell you that this kind of pill can create a genius. It was being refined for my daughter," Qi Bupo replied.

"Daughter? You old man have a daughter?" Xiaoyao was quite surprised, but thinking about how Qi Bupo was a man with a wife, having a daughter was normal.

"Nonsense, why wouldn't I have a daughter? My wife and I had her in our early years, before I went to the Divine Martial Continent. Now she's almost thirty, but still hasn't found her ideal husband. This is quite a headache," Qi Bupo said with a frown.

Almost thirty... He had originally thought she should be about the same age as himself. It seemed he was wrong again.

"Fortunately, when she was seventeen or eighteen, she was already at Emperor Level, so she doesn't look very old now."

After martial artists reached Emperor Level, aging would significantly slow down. After reaching Saint Level, it would be even slower.

Xiaoyao was even more special. The Divine Farmer's Art he cultivated would naturally slow aging. Therefore, he now looked like he wasn't even twenty. Even in ten years, he'd probably only look to be in his early twenties.

"Matters of marriage are hard to predict. Perhaps her ideal husband will appear soon," Xiaoyao said with a smile, comforting Qi Bupo.

Qi Bupo nodded, then suddenly looked at Xiaoyao as if discovering something, staring at Xiaoyao for a long time. This made Xiaoyao feel somewhat creeped out.

"How about this, Xiaoyao, you're A-Xue's child. Why don't I betroth my daughter to you? No point in letting outsiders benefit."

"Pff..."

Xiaoyao stared blankly at Qi Bupo, then hurriedly said: "I say, uncle, what are you thinking? I'm only twenty-two now, and your daughter is almost thirty. The age gap is too big. This isn't benefiting me, it's harming me."

"Boy, what did you say?!"

Just then, two women entered from outside. One was a beautiful young woman, and one was a beautiful mature lady. The voice came from this mature lady, and she looked to be only about twenty-five. She couldn't be the daughter Qi Bupo mentioned, could she? That young woman looked more like someone who was thirty.

"I was talking with uncle. Who are you?" Xiaoyao frowned.

"I'm the person you said would harm you," that mature lady said.

"Cough cough, you're really uncle's daughter? I'm Xiaoyao. May I ask sister's surname?" Xiaoyao asked.

"..."

"Surname Qi. What else could my surname be?" that mature lady said irritably. "Boy, originally sister thought you were quite pitiful, being beaten up like that by my dad. Now it seems you're not pitiful, you're detestable."

"Cough cough, you misunderstood. I just misspoke. Sister Qi, I really respect you. You're already thirty..." Xiaoyao said.
