Chapter 2631
2631 Could the secret be there?
“Ai Ai, look at this great day, why would I mention this?” Seeing the tears in Yue Kaili’s eyes, Chui zhengyuan realized that he had said the wrong thing. He also thought of the Yue family’s tragedy, so he patted his head and said in frustration.
“This Mister cui is my ancestor’s good friend. He is well-read and highly respected. He is also a famous scholar. These few are my fellow disciples. This is Ling Chuxi, master Ling, uncle-master Zi Yin …” Yue Kai Li introduced to everyone.
“Junior greets Mr. Cui.” Ling Chuxi and the rest saluted. They could tell that this old man was a man of virtue and prestige in Qingyuan City. After hearing Yue Kaili’s words, they knew that he had such a relationship with the Yue clan, and they were especially respectful to him.
“What great scholar? aren’t you trying to kill me? I’ve only lived a few more days than others and read a few more books. ” Cui zhengyuan waved his hand and said to Yue Kaili,”a few days ago, I heard the rumors that you’ve returned. I didn’t quite believe it, but I didn’t think it was true. But what’s up with this city Lord’s mansion?”
“Mister cui might not know this, but the tragedy that destroyed my Yue clan was actually related to the Xue clan. Xue Xiaoqing, that cruel and unscrupulous man, colluded with outsiders to destroy my Yue clan. This time, when he saw that I had returned, he wanted to attack me again. Fortunately, martial uncle Ling and the others arrived in time and saved me. I also avenged my family.” Yue Kaili’s expression became a little dejected as he spoke.
Although Xue Xiaoqing had died, he had not avenged the Yue clan. However, in front of outsiders, he would naturally not reveal the inside story.
“I didn’t expect Xue Xiaoqing to be such an ungrateful person. No wonder he seized your Yue clan’s assets as soon as something happened to your Yue clan. He even put on a sanctimonious front and said that he would safeguard your Yue clan’s assets so that he could take revenge for the Yue clan in the future. It turns out that all of this was his doing.” Cui zhengyuan stomped his feet and cursed.
“I knew Xue Xiaoqing wasn’t a good person. He’s been the city Lord for so many years, but he hasn’t done anything good. A bunch of servants and dogs have been abusing their power, causing the people of Qingyuan City to have a hard time. Such a person deserves to die.” The other residents of the city also began to curse. It seemed that the Xue family was not very popular in Qingyuan City.
“But it’s great now. The Yue family has returned. This Qingyuan City should return to the hands of the Yue family. Our Qingyuan City will soon be able to return to its former prosperity.” Cui zhengyuan waved his hand to calm everyone down as he spoke expectantly.
“Mister cui, the Yue clan no longer exists. Even the residence of the past has become like this. I’m disheartened as well, so I’ll return to the sect in a few days.” Yue Kaili said.
“Greet them. This Qingyuan City is the blood, sweat, and tears of your Yue clan’s ancestors. You can’t just watch it decline like this.” When he heard that Yue Kaili was about to leave, cui zhengyuan became anxious and said,”so what if the manor is destroyed? at most, I’ll gather some people to help you rebuild it. Your Yue clan originally had an ancestral residence that has been under my care all this time. Even Xue Xiaoqing didn’t know about it. Go back and stay there for a while. You can return when the city Lord Manor is completed.”
“What? our Yue clan has an ancestral home?” The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener took it seriously. Yue Kaili’s mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he asked in surprise.
“Have you forgotten? that was the place where your ancestors first set up their base in Qingyuan City. However, as the Yue family grew more and more prosperous, they built another house and abandoned that ancestral house. When it fell into your grandfather’s hands, he simply handed it over to me to look after. You went there once when you were young.” Cui zhengyuan said.
“That’s good. Let’s go to the ancestral home first. ” Yue Kaili suppressed his excitement and said to cui zhengyuan.
Seeing the uncontrollable excitement in Yue Kaili’s eyes, Ling Chuxi’s heart also moved. Could it be that the Yue family’s Secret was in the ancestral home?
