Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

The first thing Yao Jingxing did after returning from his study abroad was to confirm his mother's safety.

Stepping into the familiar tavern and seeing the person pouring drinks behind the counter, Jingxing was completely relieved. Half a month after he left home, he heard that a family was wiped out in Lin'an City. Although he knew that his family was not affected, he was still worried.

The dusty traveler had not even changed into new clothes. He walked to his mother with longing in his heart, bowed and saluted, saying:

"I haven't seen you for over a month. I hope you are doing well, mother."

"It's OK, but you came earlier than the agreed date. Is your study tour going well?"

Yao Jingxing stood up and replied:

"I have seen the differences outside, and only then did I know the comfort of home. However, I heard that a heinous case had occurred in Lin'an City, so I came back early to protect my mother."

Zhou Leng looked up at him and said, "My son's return makes me feel much more at ease." She said to Ju Zheng who was busy, "I will go back with Jing'er first. You should close the door early today and go back to spend more time with your brother."

Ju Zheng nodded.

The mother and son were walking slowly along the street, when they unexpectedly met an acquaintance on the road.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the man said, "Brother Yao, when we last parted, I was wondering when we would meet again. Now we meet so soon. It's really fate."

Zhou Leng's expression remained unchanged, but he was alert in his heart. This man had some strength. It was not just some fancy tricks from the martial arts world. He had really practiced.

Yao Jingxing said, "Brother Chu, where are you staying now? If you are staying in a hotel, why not stay at my house for a few days?"

Zhou Leng thought: Why do I always have such a good son!

"To be honest, I want to stay in Lin'an for a while, but I am short of money. If I can really stay with Brother Yao, I will be very grateful."

After he finished speaking, the man bowed deeply.

Yao Jingxing stepped forward and helped the man up and said, "Brother Chu, why are you so polite? It's just that my home is quite simple, Brother Chu, please don't despise me."

The two of them exchanged polite words and then walked back to the courtyard together.

Zhou Leng went back to his room to rest on the pretext of being tired, and Yao Jingxing politely went to prepare tea and snacks for the guest.

evening.

After much thought, Zhou Leng finally went to her son's room. She felt that many things should not be concealed. If one did not know how dangerous the world is, one would not be on guard against others.

After knocking on the door, Yao Jingxing's voice came from inside the room: "Mom, come in quickly."

Zhou Leng entered the room, closed the door, sat on a chair, looked at the busy people and said, "Brother Jing, come and sit down. Mother will tell you something."

"The child will be here soon."

Yao Jingxing looked at his mother with an innocent smile on his face. His mother had always been stricter than his father since he was a child. Although he was not afraid of her, the atmosphere was serious as they sat together. He tried very hard to keep smiling and waited for his mother's instructions.

"Jing'er, there are many things that I don't want to tell you. After all, you are still young, but I can't protect you forever."

Yao Jingxing looked at his mother's serious face, and he also said solemnly: "Jingxing has grown up, mother, don't worry too much. If there is anything, the child is willing to share it with mother."

Zhou Leng showed a relieved smile, and she said in a deep voice: "This matter is very serious. After you hear it, don't tell anyone, including your father."

Yao Jingxing showed a surprised expression. All he had seen since he was a child was the love between his father and mother. Today, he was surprised and puzzled to see that his mother was hiding something from his father.

Zhou Leng explained: "Mother doesn't want to destroy the delicate and beautiful image in your father's heart."

Yao Jingxing secretly rolled his eyes and said, "What about the child? Isn't mother afraid of losing her image as a loving mother?"

Zhou Leng glanced at him, and Jing Xing understood what he meant. Then he said resignedly, "Mom, please speak."

Zhou Leng whispered how he was brought to the Changshi Mansion, how he wiped out their entire family, and how he silenced everyone who had seen his face. Then he said:

"This matter should have been settled, but the origin of the brother Chu you mentioned is unknown and he has bad intentions. I am afraid that you will be used by others, so I told you everything."

After listening to it, Yao Jingxing felt as if he was listening to a story in a book. After a while, he spoke:

"Mother, you are a master of martial arts, how can you stay at home? You can lead the army to fight or be invited by the royal family to serve."

"Not really."

Yao Jingxing pondered for a moment and then said, "I know what my mother is worried about. Now that I think about it carefully, my friendship with Brother Chu does reveal that the other party did it deliberately. But I can't understand why someone would come to investigate when the matter has already come to an end, and the other party actually showed goodwill."

Zhou Leng said: "Please come and ask and you will know."

Yao Jingxing felt a bit complicated at the moment. His mother was a beautiful but weak wife of a deputy commander, and the family had lived in harmony for many years. How could his mother suddenly become a powerful person who looked down on the world? However, he still followed his mother's instructions and went to the west wing to invite Brother Chu to come.

After knocking on the door, the other party's voice came from inside: "Brother Yao, why are you so polite? Just come in."

Yao Jingxing stood outside the door and said, "Brother Chu, Jiaci wants you to come in and talk."

Seeing Yao Jingxing's unenthusiastic face, the man said without changing his eyes or expression, "I guess it's time for me to go and pay a visit to the lady."

After a few steps, they arrived at the east wing. After knocking on the door and entering, the man performed the rare and reserved greeting of a junior.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Yao Jingxing stood behind his mother. He was upset but his face was calm.

Zhou Leng asked first: "I don't want to talk about what happened in the past, but it is really unfair for Prince Xuan to come from afar and use this humble room. If you have something to say, please tell me directly. If not, I will not keep you here any longer because of the simplicity of my home."

Chu Tianqi's expression did not change, but he felt nervous for a moment. He didn't know where he had been exposed. After all, according to the investigation, Madam Yirong had never left Lin'an and had never met anyone from the royal family.

Chu Tianqi calmed down and said, "Senior, you are indeed unfathomable. I apologize for interrupting you. However, this is a matter concerning the stability of the world. I have a letter written by the current emperor. Please take a look at it."

Yao Jingxing felt like a servant. He took the letter and handed it to his mother.

After Zhou Leng finished reading the letter, it caught fire without any wind. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Such a holy master is a blessing for all the people in the world. I am willing to lend a helping hand."

The young prince stood up and saluted as a junior.

It turns out that the former Prince Chen, now the Emperor, did not want to kill Prince Anle, but because he had the protection of a master, so he compromised and named him Prince Anle.

Chu Tianqi was in charge of finding the best experts in the world. When he arrived in Lin'an, he secretly investigated the extermination of the Changshi Mansion. After ruling out all possibilities, he set his sights on Yirong, the wife of the deputy commissioner. He even helped to solve the problems of many people investigated by other forces.

On the third day that Chu Tianqi moved into the Yao family, Zhou Leng, dressed in night clothes, rose from the ground and floated away under the gaze of two young men.

Yao Jingxing opened his mouth and eyes wide and pinched himself hard.

Chu Tianqi said with emotion: "Senior is really a banished immortal. If one day, he returns to the immortal world, who knows. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up."

The night covers death.

An hour later, Zhou Lengluo returned to the courtyard.

Yao Jingxing asked: "Mother, are you injured?"

Zhou Leng waved his hand and said to King Xuan: "I did what I should do."

Chu Tianqi looked at the man who was not injured and looked normal. He felt even more dignified and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Although Yao Jingxing knew that his mother was very powerful and that she was not injured, he was still worried and stayed outside the main room all night without closing his eyes.

Three days later.

The wife of Yao Tijie of Lin'an Prefecture was named a county princess and given the title of Anxiang because she saved the emperor's younger brother, King Xuan of Chu.

He rewarded him with countless treasures and fine items, and also gave him a four-courtyard mansion in Lin'an Prefecture.
