Chapter 651: Chapter 311: Chen Qingmo, the Man Himself

"Mother?"

Su Xin saw Tantai Mingyue and couldn’t help blurting out.

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were already stunned beside her.

Mother, mother?

What does this mean?

Senior Sister Su Xin is actually Sect Leader Tantai’s illegitimate daughter?

Oh my god, this is a huge revelation!

So huge that we might get silenced after hearing it, boo hoo hoo!

Tantai Mingyue scanned the crowd, and her voice finally calmed down: "I would like to speak with Xin’Er alone."

"Yes, yes!"

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er quickly scampered out in relief.

"Sister?"

Wei Wan looked worried, but Su Xin nodded and smiled at her, indicating it was fine.

Qiu Zhihe said indifferently, "Since that’s the case, we won’t disturb Sect Leader Tantai’s reunion with her daughter."

Qin Gengyun pulled up the Celestial Phoenix Maiden by her wings from the ground, and the others left, leaving only Su Xin and Tantai Mingyue in the mourning hall.

The mother and daughter stared at each other for a moment, and Su Xin spoke first: "Mother, how much do you really know about Chen... the Sect Leader?"

Tantai Mingyue frowned slightly: "Xin’Er, Senior Brother Chen is your father."

"No!"

Su Xin’s voice was firm: "I said unless it’s proven he hasn’t done evil, I will not acknowledge him!"

"You are as stubborn as I was back then,"

Tantai Mingyue sighed and said softly,

"Senior Brother Chen holds the world in his heart, and he’s done countless things for the commoners; he couldn’t possibly be a bad person."

"Mother!" Su Xin said: "You say he’s a good person, but after you gave birth to me, he was with that Black Phoenix, abandoned us like that, how is that a good person?"

"Xin’Er!"

Tantai Mingyue’s expression turned slightly stern: "Do not speak of your father like that!"

Su Xin lowered her head slightly: "I’m sorry, Mother."

Tantai Mingyue’s expression softened, and she gently caressed her daughter’s cheek,

"Dear daughter, your mother has kept this from you for so long, you have grievances in your heart, I do not blame you, but do you know how much your father has secretly done to make you the Senior Sister of Danxia Peak?"

"Your father cares for you, but he has his difficulties, which is why he hasn’t been able to acknowledge you."

Su Xin raised her head: "But he could acknowledge Cheng Qingyu!"

Tantai Mingyue said: "Senior Brother Chen doesn’t dare reveal his true identity in Qinghe City; to outsiders, Cheng Qingyu’s father is Cheng Yu, not the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect."

"Mother, do you know where the Sect Leader has gone? I have many questions I want to ask him in person!" Su Xin asked.

Tantai Mingyue shook her head, her face showing longing: "I’m searching for him as well."

"...Mother."

Su Xin watched Tantai Mingyue, who appeared youthful and lovestruck, and felt as if the images of her Master and mother had collapsed in her heart.

"You are the Danxia Peak Master, you are Tantai Mingyue, you shouldn’t be like this."

Tantai Mingyue gazed at her disappointed daughter, and suddenly a tear fell from her eye.

"Xin’Er, I have fallen into the web of emotions in this life and cannot ascend; I hope you will not entangle yourself in these matters any longer. Return to Zhenyang Mountain and cultivate in peace, do not become like me."

Su Xin looked at her mother for a long time and then slowly shook her head: "No, Mother, the Sect Leader disappeared, the Black Phoenix appeared, and there are too many mysteries; I can’t calm my Tao heart unless the truth is uncovered."

"Xin’Er..."

"You have a deep bond, but why did you destroy my mother’s remains?!"

At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside, and Cheng Qingyu rushed into the mourning hall. Seeing the opened coffin, her face turned livid.

Su Xin was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down, pointing to the pile of bones in the coffin:

"Cheng Qingyu, that was Li Qinghe. She died twenty years ago, she’s not your mother!"

Cheng Qingyu stared blankly at the bones in the coffin and pointed at Su Xin with a fierce look:

"If you dare slander again, I’ll kill you!"

Su Xin continued: "Look closely, does this pile of bones look freshly dead? And that powerful aura you felt the other day? That was from a Black Ancient Divine Phoenix; it had possessed Li Qinghe’s body twenty years ago!"

Cheng Qingyu looked bewildered: "Impossible! If my mother died twenty years ago, how could she have given birth to me?"

Su Xin said: "Don’t you understand? You are not the child of Chen Qingmo and Li Qinghe; you are the child of Chen Qingmo and that Black Phoenix!"

"Shut up!" Cheng Qingyu, holding the Emerald Immortal Sword, slashed toward Su Xin!

Tantai Mingyue waved her sleeve, repelling Cheng Qingyu, "Qingyu, you go too far!"

Cheng Qingyu was knocked out of the mourning hall, her eyes shedding black tears, with black gleams flashing in them, she screamed hysterically:

"Tantai Mingyue, Su Xin, you bully too much! Wait until I find my father, he’ll drive you out of Zhenyang Sect!"

Having said that, Cheng Qingyu controlled her sword and flew out of the Li Mansion.

Su Xin appeared amazed: "Just now, Cheng Qingyu seemed to have an aura similar to that Black Phoenix; could she really be the child of the Black Phoenix?"

Tantai Mingyue looked toward the darkness on the other side: "Ruo Mei, did you deliberately let Cheng Qingyu in?"

A small, delicate figure slowly stepped out and said blandly: "If not, how could we have tested if Cheng Qingyu knows? It seems now she is just one of Chen Qingmo’s pieces, just like you."

"You..."

Tantai Mingyue’s eyes turned cold, staring at Qiu Zhihe:

"Who are you really?"

Qiu Zhihe calmly said: "Sect Leader Tantai, I am a disciple of Xiyue Peak, Ruo Mei."

Tantai Mingyue looked at Qiu Zhihe, and the two stared at each other for a moment before Tantai Mingyue sighed:

"Junior Niece Ruo, since you are disciples of Zhenyang Sect, can you keep today’s events a secret for the sect?"

"I heed the Sect Leader’s command."

Qiu Zhihe verbally complied, but there was no respect on her face.

Tantai Mingyue gave her a deep look, intending to leave with Su Xin.

"Mother, I still have matters to discuss with them, you should go back and rest first."

But Su Xin remained where she was.

"Xin’Er, you..."

Tantai Mingyue looked at Su Xin with surprise, as even before, when they were only master and apprentice, Su Xin had never opposed her; today, however, she stood on the opposite side.

Tantai Mingyue’s gaze dimmed slightly, but her voice remained gentle: "Since it is your own decision, I will not stop you, but remember, your mother is waiting for you."

Having finished speaking, she glanced around at everyone, then turned to leave.

"Oh my god, what kind of rebellious daughter and estranged mother drama is this!"

"What an ethical drama!"

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er gaped at the scene, eating up every bit of the drama.

Qin Gengyun suddenly looked at the two, his gaze flickering, causing Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er to shiver and hug themselves:

"Senior Brother He, what, what do you want to do?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Junior Sisters, interested in a night visit to the Cheng Family with us?"

"Huh? We just opened the Patriarch’s coffin at the Li Family, and now we’re going to stir up trouble at the Cheng Family?"

"Can we not go?"

"What do you think?"

"We’ll go, boo hoo hoo..."
