"cluck"
Early in the morning, the crowing of roosters in the distance already resounded through the sky.
Qiao Wanwan instantly woke up, opened her eyes abruptly, and looked around.
She was the only person in the room; no one else was there.
Hey!
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head.
"What's going on? Why did I dream about him?"
Qiao Wanwan now truly understood what people meant when they said, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night."
She kept trying to convince herself not to like Xie Ze, but her heart was doing the opposite.
She felt a little disappointed when she woke up and saw that Xie Ze was not around.
Right now, all I can think about is how the other person is doing.
So, Qiao Wanwan tidied everything up and then sent someone to inquire about the Xie family.
During the days she spent inquiring, Qiao Wanwan waited in the courtyard, sometimes sitting on the swing in a daze, sometimes staring blankly at the trees outside the window, and sometimes lying on the bed like a salted fish, without any youthful vitality or motivation.
Even when Qiao Qingfeng came to see Qiao Wanwan, Qiao Wanwan did not make a sound.
He began to notice that his once lively daughter had become a completely different person since returning from the martial arts world.
He became extremely sad and lost all joy. This was the last thing he wanted to see.
So he summoned Chunxia and asked her for clarification.
"Chunxia, tell me, what exactly happened to Wanwan these past few months? Why has she become so abnormal? It's like she's changed her personality."
"Yes, Alliance Leader, Chunxia will tell you everything in detail."
Spring and Summer used their silver tongues to recount the entire process.
Especially the young master Xie, whom the young lady likes.
Qiao Qingfeng frowned even more after hearing this.
"Wanwan actually has someone she likes? And this person is the son of a scourge of the martial arts world?"
"Yes, leader."
Qiao Qingfeng sighed slightly. He was not the kind of person who would let family ties prevent him from having romantic feelings for his children.
If Wanwan likes that Young Master Xie, then let her like him.
As a father, he will definitely support him.
"But…"
Qiao Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"But... something happened to the Xie family. From now on, the Xie family, that scourge of the martial arts world, will never exist again."
"What? Lord Alliance Leader, you mean..."
Qiao Qingfeng nodded, which clearly meant exactly what he said.
Chunxia suddenly understood, and covered her mouth in shock, too astonished to speak.
...
In the courtyard, a woman sat on a swing, her embroidered shoes occasionally kicking the ground, causing her to sway back and forth.
The pink gauze dress moved with its owner, fluttering lightly and beautifully.
The butterflies in the flowerbeds all fluttered around the woman, their beautiful wings dancing for her.
The servant outside the courtyard entered with his head bowed and spoke to the beautiful young lady:
"Miss, the information you asked me to gather has been found."
Qiao Wanwan immediately put down her foot, stopping her action of blocking the swing, and excitedly asked as if she wanted to know the news as soon as possible:
"How's it going? Has he made any moves?"
"Miss, there's been no movement over there, and no one's been sent to look for anyone..."
Qiao Wanwan immediately stopped herself, feeling wronged. She kicked a stone on the ground and vented her anger by talking nonsense in a serious manner.
"Tch, fine, don't look for me then. He even spoke so realistically in my dream. It turns out that the man in my dream is just like the man in reality—a liar."
Before the servant could finish speaking, seeing how concerned the young lady was, he felt slightly embarrassed and said weakly.
"Miss, the Xie family... is gone."
"So what if it's gone? I don't care!"
Qiao Wanwan retorted without even thinking.
"?"
After saying that, I realized something was wrong, and my mind went blank.
"What did you say?"
"As I just said, the Xie family in the martial arts world... no longer exists."
Qiao Wanwan couldn't believe her ears and shook the servant member vigorously.
"What do you mean it's gone? How could it be gone? Explain yourself clearly."
"I've only heard that the Xie family seems to have offended the government, and the martial arts world and the imperial court joined forces to wipe out the Xie family. From now on, the Xie family will no longer be a scourge on the martial arts world."
"!"
Upon receiving this news, Qiao Wanwan felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her heart clenched, and she felt utterly weak.
She opened her mouth slightly, a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked:
"Then... what about Xie Ze?"
"The young master of the Xie family..."
The servant shut his mouth and shook his head slightly, which already said something.
This means that Xie Ze is no longer alive; there is no one named Xie Ze left in this world.
Qiao Wanwan suddenly had difficulty breathing, her vision went black, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
His eyes were still open, and he just stared blankly at the white clouds in the sky.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
Spring and Summer arrived just in time to see the young lady heartbroken and collapsed, and they were both terrified and panicked.
Everyone present was in a panic, and things were in complete disarray.
"Quickly fetch a doctor, quickly go and call the Alliance Leader over."
"Yes!"
...
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qiao Qingfeng looked at Qiao Wanwan, whose face was deathly pale, and his heart ached.
Qiao Wanwan slightly opened her eyes, and the other person asked her with great concern:
"Wanwan, how are you feeling now?"
"Father, what's wrong with me?"
"You scared your father to death just now! How could you suddenly faint? And those eyes were really big! Wanwan, in the future, if anything happens, you must tell your father. Don't keep everything bottled up inside. Okay?"
"Yes, Dad, I'm fine now. You're busy with work, please go back..."
Qiao Qingfeng knew at a glance that his daughter wanted to bear the pain alone.
"Look at you, you don't resemble my daughter at all now."
"!"
Qiao Wanwan slightly opened her eyes and stared at Qiao Qingfeng, feeling somewhat guilty.
Has he already discovered that she is not his daughter, but an imposter?
But Qiao Qingfeng sighed softly the next second and comforted her:
"Wanwan, is it because the person you loved died that you're so heartbroken?"
"Dad...you knew all along?"
“I’m your father, how could I not know what you’re thinking?”
"... "
Qiao Wanwan's nose tingled, and her eyes began to fill with tears, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
She blinked, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Wanwan, cry. It will make you feel better."
After being persuaded by Qiao Qingfeng, Qiao Wanwan could no longer hold back.
She covered her face and sobbed.
Qiao Qingfeng saw that she was giving feedback, which meant she wouldn't do anything reckless, which was good.
He gently stroked his daughter's head and comforted her, saying:
“Wanwan, I was just as heartbroken as you are now when your mother passed away.”
"... "
Qiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, hiccuping as she looked at Qiao Qingfeng, whose face was filled with sorrow.
"Mother?"
"Yes, because her identity is somewhat special, she had to be kept hidden, so I have never told you about your mother. Your mother's name is Lu Zhifu, and she is the Blood Medicine Person that everyone in the martial arts world wants to find."
"Blood Medicine Man?"
It was the first time Qiao Wanwan had heard this word, but she could tell it wasn't a good title.
"Hmm, do you still remember the sesame paste your father gave you?"
"Uh-huh."
"This medicine was made for you by your mother before she died, and it contains your mother's blood."
"!!"
Qiao Wanwan was shocked to hear this.
“Her blood is extremely precious and can cure all diseases. You also inherited your mother’s blood, so like her, your blood is extremely precious, immune to all poisons, and can cure all diseases. If this were to become known to outsiders, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, your father is giving you this medicine to better conceal the fact that your blood can heal itself.”
"!!"
