Chapter 286: Fake Death Monologue
Since then, Ye Qingzhou has become Jiang Ruohu's apprentice. Jiang Ruohu is not only skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in numerology. Ye Qingzhou has also spent a peaceful and unforgettable time in the bamboo forest by the lake. Unfortunately, the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, and all the martial arts world are eyeing him, trying to take the secret that can change the situation of the martial arts world for themselves.
Unexpectedly, one day Ye Qingzhou and Jiang Ruohu disappeared mysteriously and have been out of touch since then. Although everyone was unwilling, they had to let it go and the world returned to peace.
Three years later, Ye Qingzhou unexpectedly returned to the martial arts world in a high-profile manner. He learned a set of shocking martial arts from nowhere, and his temperament changed drastically, becoming extremely arrogant. However, Jiang Ruohu was no longer by his side.
Ye Qingzhou accepted those who came to provoke him as his subordinates, and killed those who refused. For a time, the martial arts world was shaken and people were in panic. However, no one could defeat him in recent days. The martial arts world has always been dominated by the strong, and he did not know how to win people's hearts. As a result, many mobs followed his lead, and since then, they formed a powerful new force, and they defeated the Fangruo Sect in one fell swoop.
Rumor has it that Ye Qingzhou did this to avenge his master Jiang Ruohu, who was attacked by Fang Ruo Sect and risked his life to save Ye Qingzhou, but he didn't even leave his body. Ye Qingzhou was heartbroken, so the first thing he did after leaving the mountain was to annihilate Fang Ruo Sect.
After Fangruo Sect was annexed by Ye Qingzhou, Ye Qingzhou's power in the martial arts world expanded again, becoming the most powerful force in the martial arts world. From then on, Ye Qingzhou became popular in the martial arts world, and no one dared to covet his secrets.
But the good times did not last long. Ye Qingzhou expanded too quickly, and his subordinates were of mixed quality. After he came to power, he was extremely powerful and many of his subordinates complained. Soon, the news spread that the secret of the Ye family was a treasure map. The treasure house contained all kinds of secret books and endless rare treasures.
This incident caused a great uproar in the martial arts world and even reached the court. The court specially sent Jinyiwei Commander Zhou Qingye to supervise the task and find the treasure house. Zhou Qingye united with the major declining famous and upright sects to besiege Ye Qingzhou.
The two sides fought until both were injured. Ye Qingzhou and Zhou Qingye fought to the end and unexpectedly arrived at the familiar bamboo forest lake. Both Ye and Zhou were already at the end of their strength. Ye Qingzhou used his amazing explosive power to point his sword at Zhou Qingye's eyebrows, but it stopped?! He was knocked into the lake by Zhou Qingye instead.
Ye Qingzhou woke up slowly, and saw a woman in white in a daze. Her figure was so familiar. She turned around, and Ye Qingzhou saw the face that had been haunting him.
"Teacher...Master?!"
"Or am I already dead, and the master is here to pick me up?"
Jiang Ruohu took a step forward, checked Ye Qingzhou's forehead and pulse, and sighed.
"Why is your pulse so chaotic?"
Hot? He could still feel the temperature, he was not dead... Jiang Ruohu was not dead either!
Ye Qingzhou quickly realized that his master was not dead, so why did he think she was dead? Why did she show up now? Why did she save him and teach him in the first place? Was all this a setup? Could it be...
All kinds of questions quickly ran through Ye Qingzhou's mind, like thousands of silk threads intertwined together and unable to make sense of them. Could it be... ?
Ye Qingzhou's eyes changed from obsession to clarity, and from joy to indifference.
"Master, I have imagined the scene of meeting you again countless times. Whenever I was covered in wounds, you were my only support. Even though I thought I would never see you again in this life, I still had thousands of words to say to you. Now that we are really meeting again, I actually think that maybe it would be better if we didn't meet..."
Ye Qingzhou gave a bitter smile, Jiang Ruohu's brows twitched slightly, but he did not speak.
"Master, now that things have come to this, can't you be honest with me? Did you save me and take me in as your disciple just for the treasure map?"
Jiang Ruohu stood up, floating like a fairy, and said quietly, "What treasure map? I don't care at all..."
Ye Qingzhou was puzzled, and Jiang Ruohu continued to speak, "If the Ye family really had a treasure map, and if there were really martial arts secrets and rare treasures in the treasure house, wouldn't the Ye family have dominated the martial arts world long ago? Why was they unable to resist and were tragically wiped out?"
At this point, Jiang Ruohu turned around and stared at Ye Qingzhou, "It's you that I'm attracted to!"
Ye Qingzhou was shocked and said, "I'd like to hear more details."
"Back then, Fang Ruo and Zhi Huai were hunting you down. You had almost no martial arts skills, but you were able to escape all the way here. You were still unruly in the face of a life-and-death situation. You can imagine how strong your mind was. I saved you because of this. Later, you became my disciple and I taught you martial arts. I discovered that you were much more talented than I had imagined. I taught you until later, and even if you tried to hide it, I could already tell that your level was slightly higher than mine."
Ye Qingzhou nodded and couldn't help but explain, "I hid it from you because I was afraid of the unknown realm, and because I didn't want to make you sad..."
Jiang Ruohu chuckled, "In fact, I don't care why you hide it from me. The higher your realm is, the happier I am, because someone can finally help me do what I can't do!"
"Is it the Fang Ruo Cult?"
Jiang Ruohu raised an eyebrow, "You are indeed smart..."
"What else is there to be confused about? Just look at the results and it will be clear."
Ye Qingzhou shook his head and sighed, "Now that I think about it, you were the one who lured the people from Fangruo Sect to create this fake death. What hatred do you have with Fangruo Sect?"
"Hate? Perhaps you don't believe it, but I once considered Fangruo Sect my home. I... have a younger brother. If he were still alive, he would be the same age as you now..."
"You have a younger brother?"
"Yes, I lost my father when I was young, and I depended on my younger brother for everything. It was Fangruo who showed us a way out. My loyalty to Fangruo was greater than anyone else's. I worked hard to practice martial arts, and I fought my way to a high position. I devoted myself to the Fangruo sect, but the higher I went, the more I discovered the cruelty within the Fangruo sect. It respected women, and had a strict hierarchy. In order to maintain this terrible system, it would not hesitate to eliminate dissidents and would never show mercy.
Although I am a woman and seem to be the one with vested interests, my brother is my flesh and blood, and a man can only be my slave. Even with my protection, he still cannot change the situation of being humiliated and trampled on by others..."
"Did he die from being abused?"
"How could that be? Without him, how could Fangruo Sect restrain me?" Jiang Ruohu sneered, "My brother committed suicide, not only for my freedom, but also for the freedom in his heart."
"So you're here to avenge your brother?"
After all, although they didn't do it themselves, they were forced to death.
"No, I think death is a relief for him. If he struggles in this world for me, I will hate myself. I want to destroy Fangruo Sect because its existence is a rotten quagmire. Once you fall into it, you will struggle in the mud for the rest of your life without freedom. In this case, why not blow up the quagmire!"
"I also wanted to achieve all this by my own strength, but I was too naive. How could my brother be the only one who was restrained by the Fangruo Sect? Ever since I joined the sect, I have been given the Soul Locking Pill. I forcibly rebelled against the sect and the pill has been activated. Even if I have profound skills and try to suppress it, my tendons and veins have been damaged and I am powerless..."
Ye Qingzhou said, "So... you chose me? I don't understand why you don't tell me the truth. You are my master, I will help you!"
"Only when a person feels extreme pain can he or she burst out with strong power..."
Jiang Ruohu's words touched Ye Qingzhou's sore spot, and Ye Qingzhou finally couldn't help but yell.
"As expected... You know my heart very well and you hurt me deeply. It's obviously you who made me feel the most pain!!!"
