After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 108 Redemption and Forced Love

[I don't know! But he has a few juicy details to tell you, host, would you like to take a look?]

Fang Lingchu looked at Duan Ganze strangely and asked, "What other dramatic romantic entanglements does he have?"

The system explained: "[It's not from him, it's from his parents. But if he follows the original plot, the revelation will still be explosive.]"

Fang Lingchu asked, "Didn't you say that you can't gossip about someone if you can't see them?"

The system explained: "Host, I've already upgraded, so it won't be that complicated anymore. Do you still want to get involved with his parents' gossip?"

Duan Ganze listened to Fang Lingchu and that gossip chat, but felt nothing.

He had never seen his mother since birth; his father said that his mother died when she gave birth to him.

It is said that he caused his mother's death, which is why he is a child without a mother.

Fang Lingchu glanced at Duan Ganze and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You seem to be in a bad mood. Do you want to tell me?"

Is it really appropriate for us to gossip about other people's parents in front of them?

The system asked, puzzled, "So you're not going to eat?"

Fang Lingchu: [Eat, but let me give him something to eat first. He looks like he's just skin and bones.]

Fang Lingchu had the maid bring some food and served Duan Ganze some wine, but on the condition that Fang Lingchu promised Blueberry that she wouldn't touch it.

Then I asked Blueberry to bring her some barbecue, since she wanted to hear a story!

How can we do without barbecue and fruit!

Seeing Fang Lingchu taking so much delicious food, the system couldn't help but complain: [Host, didn't you say you were too embarrassed to gossip about other people's parents?]

Fang Lingchu disagreed, saying, "Guagua, that's not right of you. Even though you were embarrassed to eat it, you still ate it. You should at least act like you're enjoying the show, right? You're going to tell me the whole story, and you won't even let me enjoy it? Isn't that going too far?"

System: You're good-looking, so whatever you say is right.

Are you ready?

Fang Lingchu: [Ready? Let's begin.]

The system opened Duan Ganze's profile and said: "[Then I'll begin. This story is a rather old-fashioned one: redemption and forced love.]"

Fang Lingchu became interested

How does forced love work?

The system said: "That's right, Shui Xiling is Duan Ganze's mother. She was originally a young lady from a prestigious family. On her way back, she met Duan Xiaofei, who was seriously injured while being chased by enemies. He is Duan Ganze's father."

Duan Xiaofei was orphaned at a young age and wandered around on his own. He met the old master of the Hundred Fiends Pavilion and inherited his martial arts skills. However, the old master did not know how to raise a child, so he handed him over to his ten henchmen.

These ten villains are all antisocial personalities. They beat and verbally abuse Duan Xiaofei, and force him to be with those poisonous insects and vicious dogs, which, as the name suggests, is to toughen his will.

Later, he was forced to eat rats and such, so his childhood was very miserable. When he grew up, he killed ten villains in all sorts of cruel ways.

When the old master found out, he did not comfort him, but instead sent people to kill him. Then, while being chased by the assassins of the Hundred Fiends Pavilion, he encountered Shui Xiling.

After Shui Xiling rescued him, she arranged for someone to take care of him and treated him very well.

Later, Shui Xiling went to participate in a martial arts competition and was poisoned by her father's enemy, temporarily losing her sight. When she returned, she couldn't see. By this time, Duan Xiaofei had recovered from his injuries. Seeing the person who had always cared for him injured, Duan Xiaofei became furious.

He immediately revealed his true nature, crawling in the shadows to kill everyone, including Shui Xiling's parents.

At this point, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but ask a question.
[I can understand killing others, but why kill Shui Xiling's parents?]

The system said: "[Because he felt that when Shui Xiling was injured, his parents did not help him seek justice, just like his godfather did back then.]"

Actually, his parents didn't know. Shui Xiling was just worried about him, so she came back to see him first. She didn't expect there to be such a misunderstanding.

However, he only killed Shui Xiling's parents and those who had bullied her; he didn't do anything else because he was afraid that the Hundred Fiends Pavilion would discover him.

He returned to Shui Xiling's side and took care of her day and night, which made Shui Xiling gradually fall in love with him. The two lived a peaceful life for a while.

Then he couldn't resist the urge to kill again, but he was afraid that Shui Xiling would dislike him for his indiscriminate killing. Host, guess what he did?

Fang Lingchu shook her head and said, "I don't know. It couldn't be that they're asking that young girl to indiscriminately kill innocent people, could it?"

The system chuckled and said, "[Host, you're as clever as ever. He brought Shui Xiling along, then pretended to be bullied by those people, making Shui Xiling kill all the innocent ones.]"

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingchu swallowed hard and said, "[Shui Xiling, a young lady of high birth, doesn't she have anyone protecting her?]"

The system explained: "Yes, but Duan Xiaofei killed them all, leaving only a mute woman to keep her company."

Then he lied to Shui Xiling, saying that they had all left and didn't want her anymore, that she only had him now, and that the two of them could only keep each other company.

Fang Lingchu asked again: "Wait, hasn't Shui Xiling's family come looking for her?"

The system seemed confused as well, saying: "Every one who came was killed by Duan Xiaofei. Later, Duan Xiaofei simply said that the place was uninhabitable and took the people away."

If Duan Xiaofei hadn't let Shui Xiling kill her fellow disciple with her own hands, things wouldn't have turned out that way.

Fang Lingchu took a bite of fruit and asked, "What do you mean?"

The system sighed and said: "That's right. It turns out that after they moved to a different place, no one bothered them. It was actually quite nice for the two of them to live quietly like that."

However, at this time, the old master of the Hundred Fiends Pavilion died and passed the position of master to Duan Xiaofei.

Duan Xiaofei was determined to take over the Hundred Fiends Pavilion, and upon hearing this news, he happily returned to inherit the position.

But when he got back, he found out that the righteous martial arts world had invaded and was sending him back to his death!
However, Duan Xiaofei was originally a martial arts prodigy, and his martial arts strength was as powerful as that of the martial arts alliance leader at the time. He fought against the righteous path of the martial arts world for three days and three nights, carving out a bloody path for himself.

After he took the position of Pavilion Master, he personally purged the Hundred Fiends Pavilion and carried out a major overhaul.

While killing righteous martial arts practitioners, he lied to Shui Xiling, saying that he was from a small family and was being hunted down by them.

Shui Xiling killed many people to protect him, and when she regained her sight, it was just as she was massacring her own family.

Her fellow disciples all died at her hands. Just imagine how devastating that must have been.

Fang Lingchu straightened her clothes and said, "This isn't redemption or forced love; it's the farmer and the snake. What kind of conclusion is this? Where is the redemption? Where is there any redemption?"

The system explained: "Host, don't worry, there's more to come. Redemption is yet to come."

Fang Lingchu had a bad feeling and asked uncertainly, "[Shui Xiling's entire family was wiped out, she wouldn't forgive Duan Xiaofei and then give birth to Duan Ganze, would she?]"
