Chapter 294 Hua Zhiyi's Illegitimate Daughter

Shan Zimo and his companion returned to Binyue Garden. Everyone was waiting for them anxiously, including Yu Wenlin, whom they had not seen for a day.

"Is the shop settled?" Shan Zimo looked at Yu Wenlin with a smile, walked over to sit beside him, "You're back in just one day!"

Yu Wenlin looked so proud that he asked for a beating. He leaned back and pouted, "I'm here to give you a message!"

"What news?" Li excitedly lay on Yu Wenlin's crossed legs and blinked her eyes.

"The secret history of the Luohui Sect!" Yu Wenlin raised his head slightly, a look of pride flashing in his eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes sparkled with gossip, and they all turned their heads towards Yu Wenlin.

Yu Wenlin enjoyed it very much, and whispered mysteriously: "Do you know the origin of Hua Nishang, the leader of the Luohui Sect?"

Everyone was shaking their heads like rattles, their desire for the secret history was beyond words.

"Hua Nishang is said to be Hua Zhiyi's illegitimate child!" When Yuwen Lin said this, he looked at Xuanyue timidly, afraid of displeasing her.

Shan Zimo also looked at Qu Xuanyue with a worried look, afraid that she would have an extreme reaction.

However, there was none! Xuanyue listened to other people's stories without any emotion.

"Where did you get the information?" Shan Zimo frowned and questioned Yuwen Lin.

"My tea master has already arrived in Cangwu City. I just mentioned Hua Nishang and they started chatting about all this gossip!"

"Where did you get those powerful tea masters?" Shan Zimo was so angry that he laughed. He suspected that Yu Wenlin was the hero of this script, which was called "Reborn to Be the Richest Man in Wu Kingdom!"

Yu Wenlin made a shushing gesture, "I've already told you, don't ask, it's not the right time yet, you will know the day!"

Shan Zimo curled his lips and said, "Okay, is that all the news you have?"

Yu Wenlin became proud again, stretched out his finger and shook it, "Hua Nishang is an orphan brought back by Hua Zhiyi from outside. Although there are rumors that she is her illegitimate daughter, there is no evidence. Hua Nishang was raised by Hua Zhiyi until she was five years old, and then..."

Yuwenlin stole a glance at Qu Xuanyue again, and Qu Xuanyue smiled and replied, "Sir, it's okay, please continue."

"After that, Hua Zhiyi secretly married Hanlin Que, and then she defected from the Luohui Sect and fled. There has been no news of her since then."

"But there is an ancient temple in the back mountain..." Shan Boyu was about to say something, but Shan Zimo covered his mouth and laughed.

"There are statues of gods in the ancient temple!" Shan Zimo said awkwardly, "It looks weird!"

Shan Zimo's reaction made Qu Xuanyue suspicious. She knew that this ancient temple in the back mountain must be hiding some secret related to her, perhaps her mother's secret.

"Is that all?" Dao Sheng and the others seemed to have not heard enough and urged Yu Wenlin to continue.

"There's nothing else to say," Yuwen Lin recalled, stroking his chin with one hand, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "By the way, if Hua Zhiyi hadn't betrayed the Luohui Sect, she would have become the leader! However, her adopted daughter Hua Nishang took over her, which once caused a lot of controversy in the sect!"

"That's true!" Shan Zimo nodded. "Speaking of which, Hua Nishang is indeed too young to be the headmaster. Logically speaking, the age of the hall master's wife should be just right!"

Shan Zimo felt uneasy when he thought of the challenge from the left protector Hua Qingci. The seemingly peaceful Luohui Sect was actually surging with undercurrents!

"How's the tea shop?" Shan Zimo suddenly changed the subject, catching Yu Wenlin off guard.

"Well!" Yu Wenlin waved his hand, "The Chamber of Commerce in Cangwu City is very simple, and the tea shop is going very smoothly. One thing worth noting is that your mother-in-law's ancestors are in Cangwu City!"

Shan Zimo snorted coldly, "Isn't this a coincidence? It seems that I can't avoid the confrontation with the Right Prime Minister after all!"

"Zimo, don't worry, our tea shop is near the Taishi Mansion, we'll keep an eye on it for you!" Yuwen Lin said with a look of asking for credit, laughing.

"As expected of you!" Shan Zimo patted his shoulder. "Next, I have to talk to Hua Nishang. Hand over the dagger and try not to get involved in their fight!"

He nodded heavily, "Young Master Shan is absolutely right. Ever since I came to the Luohui Sect, I have been worried all day. There are rumors about their viciousness in the martial arts world, and I must believe them!"

Dao Sheng also nodded, "There's something strange about this sect, but I can't tell what's so strange about it."

Everyone nodded in agreement, folded their hands over their chests, frowned, and seemed to want to understand this weirdness.

"They say they have spirit snakes, but I haven't seen a single snake!" Li tilted her head, "I really want to see what these spirit snakes look like!"

It seemed like a wake-up call, and everyone suddenly realized and started talking about it.

"Then let's split up," Shan Zimo took out the dagger made by Master Zhiye and placed it on the table. "Miss Que and I will take the dagger to see the headmaster Hua Nishang. After all, she likes you very much. With you around, our chances of getting the antidote will be greater!"

Xuanyue nodded without any hesitation.

"Others, act according to circumstances and move around in the Luohui Cult. First, look for clues about Miss Qi's mother, and second, find out where the spirit snakes they raise are."

The moonlight was like water, covering the Luohui Sect with a thin veil. Xuanyue leaned against the window, looking at the building not far away. The eaves and corners looked even more mysterious under the moonlight.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Zi Ling'er took out Zi Zhong's urn and wiped it carefully. "In the past two days, Miss has smiled less and less!"

Qu Xuanyue smiled lightly, sat beside Zi Ling'er, stretched out her slender jade hand, and gently stroked Zi Zhong's urn. "Judging from Young Master Shan's reaction today, it is likely that he has heard news about my mother, and it is not good."

"Miss..." Zi Ling'er raised her head and was about to respond to Xuanyue, when a hidden weapon flew in from the open window and hit Zi Ling'er's hairpin!

For a moment, the air froze, and then the sound of a needle falling was heard!

Xuanyue flashed to the windowsill, leaned against the wall, and leaned out slightly to look outside. The next second, the hidden weapon attacked again!

Xuanyue closed the window at lightning speed, and the hidden weapon that shot in had already pierced Zi Ling'er's shoulder!

The moment the poison needle, which was packed with huge internal force, pierced Zi Ling'er, the powerful force pushed her to the ground!

The pain made Zi Ling'er sweat profusely and her face turned pale instantly, but she did not scream wildly. She forced herself to sit up and hide under the table.

Xuanyue hurriedly checked her injuries, took off her clothes, exposing her shoulders, blood gushed out, accompanied by corrosion radiating outwards!

She suddenly recalled that she saw Shan Zimo with a similar wound today. She helped Zi Ling'er up and walked downstairs.

"What's going on here?"
