Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

Gongsun Lu'e didn't understand why her father Gongsun Zhi, whom she had always thought was a humble gentleman and gentle as jade, would actually commit such a heinous crime, and before that.

In Gongsun Lue'e's heart, her father Gongsun Zhi has always been a kind, upright, and noble person. She had never thought that her father Gongsun Zhi would be involved in such evil deeds.

Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She tried to recall every detail of her time with her father Gongsun Ce, hoping to find a clue, a clue that could explain it all.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not piece the fragments together into a reasonable explanation. Gongsun Lu'e's heart was filled with endless doubts, as if she was shrouded in thick fog and unable to see the truth.

Gongsun Lu'e took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She knew that she needed to stay calm and find the answer. She turned to Qiu Ganchi, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

"Mom, can you tell me what happened?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her delicate and slender hands tightly clasped her mother Qiu Ganchi's pale and cold hands, as if this could bring her some comfort from her mother's silence.

When Qiu Ganchi heard the voice, murderous intent flashed in his sharp eyes, and this murderous intent was very obvious.

"Just because I killed someone, a young and beautiful woman. Humph, just because I killed the beloved woman of that old thief Gongsun Zhi."

At this point, Qiu Ganchi's tone was filled with anger and sarcasm, and her teeth were chattering, as if her emotions were becoming intense again as she recalled the past that made her angry.

Afterwards, Qiu Ganchi, in a tone that was almost a roar but with her emotions suppressed, told her daughter Gongsun Lue'e about the long-forgotten past, bit by bit and without omission.

Every detail was like a sharp blade, cutting every inch of her heart, making Qiu Ganchi's voice not only full of unspeakable pain and endless anger, but also mixed with a trace of endless sorrow for the passing of the good old days.

Those words seemed to weigh thousands of pounds. Every word was like a huge rock hitting the hearts of the mother and daughter, causing ripples that took a long time to calm down.

Gongsun Lu'e listened quietly, tears sliding down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, wetting the front of her clothes. Especially her eyes, which originally sparkled with pure light, were now filled with disbelief and deep disappointment.

In her memory, her father Gongsun Zhi always presented himself as a gentle, graceful and modest gentleman. His smile was warm and kind, and he always gave Gongsun Lue'e the most solid support and the most gentle comfort.

However, all these beautiful fantasies were completely shattered at this moment. The image of her father, whom she once admired and loved so much, collapsed in the face of the truth and turned into ruins.

For a moment, Gongsun Lu'e felt as if her heart was torn in two. She was shocked and indignant about what her father Gongsun Zhi had done, because she could not imagine the tall and majestic figure that had always been in her heart.

The fact that he could hide such a dark side and do such heinous things made her almost breathless. She could only let the tears flow freely to ease the indescribable pain and struggle in her heart.

As Qiu Ganchi continued to tell the story, Gongsun Lue'e's pain and anger continued to grow. She could feel the pain and unwillingness in her mother's heart, and felt sad for her own ignorance and helplessness over the years.

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into Gongsun Lue'e's heart. Gongsun Lue'e couldn't believe her ears, and was even more unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

The tears finally burst out uncontrollably, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the cold ground, splashing tiny water droplets. At this moment, Gongsun Lu'e seemed to have lost all support and reliance, letting the heartache surge in like a tide.

At this time, Qiu Ganchi looked at his daughter Gongsun Lue'e, who was silent, especially her beautiful eyes filled with endless sadness and confusion. Two lines of clear tears, like pearls from a broken string, slowly slid down her delicate and pretty face.

Every drop carries the deep longing and confusion for the past. Qiu Ganchi couldn't help but feel an indescribable pain in her heart. She spoke again, with a hint of urgency and unwillingness in her voice.

"That sinister and cunning old villain Gongsun Zhi, how exactly did he wantonly fabricate my faults behind my back? Did he make up countless absurd and unbearable words to slander me, trying to impose those unfounded charges on me?"

Qiu Ganchi's voice trembled slightly with anger and unwillingness. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, revealing a deep-rooted hatred. Her eyes became unusually sharp, as if they could penetrate the barriers of time and space and look directly at the source that made her suffer so much.

The grudges and hatred accumulated over the years surged in at this moment like a tide, drowning her in endless anger, making Qiu Ganchi unable to let go.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lu'e bit her lower lip lightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She knew that whenever her father Gongsun Zhi mentioned anything about her mother Qiu Ganchi, he would always be very secretive about it.

But since her mother Qiu Ganchi had already asked, Gongsun Lue'e still mustered up the courage and spoke in a low voice.

"Dad never mentioned you, Mom, in front of me, as if it was a taboo topic. When I was little, I once naively asked Dad if I looked like Mom."

"Or I would ask what caused my mother's death, but every time, he would fly into a rage and scold me harshly. He ordered me to never mention it again. I still remember his determination."

When she said this, Gongsun Lu'e's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her heart with difficulty, revealing the pain deep in her heart that she didn't want to touch easily.

There were complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including nostalgia for the past and helplessness and sadness about reality. It seemed that that memory was also a pain that she did not want to touch.

"Later, as he grew older, I thought that time might allow Dad to let go of his grudges."

"So, I mustered up the courage to ask again, but I still got Daddy's cold face and ruthless rebuke. From then on, I never dared to mention anything about Mom in front of him again."

Qiu Ganchi felt mixed emotions as she listened to her daughter Gongsun Lue'e's narration. She understood that the old villain Gongsun Zhi's hatred for her was deep in his bones, which also affected his education and emotional communication with his daughter.

But what she knew more clearly was that no matter what had happened in the past, the blood connection between her and her daughter Gongsun Lue'e was inseparable, Qiu Ganchi continued to ask.

"Then E'er, what do you think?"

In Gongsun Lu'e's eyes, crystal tears rolled like pearls that had broken off the string as she spoke.

"I have always thought that you, mother, must have a stunning beauty, a gentle and kind personality, and a deep and loving relationship with my father. It is precisely because of this deep affection that after you passed away."

"Whenever others mention your name, Daddy would fall into endless sorrow. I could see the pain and it hurt me. Therefore, I was afraid to touch his wounds again."

"I was also afraid that I would be even more sad and helpless after knowing the truth, so gradually, year after year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, I no longer dared to ask Dad about you, Mom."

However, Qiu Ganchi beside him smiled coldly when he heard the voice. That sharp and cold smile was like a demon slowly crawling out of hell, full of endless resentment, and he slowly replied.

"Now it seems that you must be extremely disappointed in your heart. I, your mother, am not as beautiful as you thought before, nor am I gentle and kind. On the contrary, I am a vicious, evil, and ugly old woman."

"If I had known all this earlier, I think it would be better if you didn't see me. At least you would still have some thoughts about me."
