Jiaojiao appears out of nowhere, and the entire wealthy family kneels and begs for forgiveness!

Si Yelin also stared at Chu Miao in astonishment. Grandmaster?!

Chu Yue and Xiao Lang were both completely baffled.

Everyone could hardly believe what they had just heard!

Is this group of people called Master Chu Miao?

Chu Miao was completely bewildered and asked hesitantly, "Are you... calling me?"

The man gazed at Chu Miao with reverence: "My surname is Gu, and my given name is Yue. I am the seventeenth generation descendant of the Gu family."

"The fact that my Gu family lineage has been able to be passed down is all thanks to you, our ancestor."

"Back then, it was you who saved our ancestor and taught him martial arts and medicine, which enabled him to transform from a bandit into a great family, allowing the ancient family to be passed down."

"The Gu family has a family motto since ancient times, which is to be grateful for the kindness of our ancestors day and night. After you died saving people, we built a merit hall to pray for you every day."

“A wise master once predicted that you would reappear. We have been waiting for your arrival, and today, we have finally met you.”

The man's voice was like a clear, resonant spring, each word ringing out distinctly.

Chu Miao's mind was a complete mess.

Chu Miao: "?"

What the hell?

……

Gu Yue respectfully invited Chu Miao and the others to sit down in the hall.

Chu Miao also saw that they were indeed enshrining her memorial tablet.

"Grandmaster—" Gu Yue served tea to Chu Miao.

Chu Miao didn't respond: "No, don't rush to claim kinship. I don't acknowledge any of this damned ancestor."

Si Yelin's parents were both killed by this group of people.

Even if she weren't their ancestor, she would still make them atone with their lives.

Si Yelin and the others sat to one side, still on guard, worried that this was part of their conspiracy.

Facing the murderers of his father and mother.

Out of respect for Chu Miao, Si Yelin chose to remain silent for the time being and wait until things were cleared up before making a move.

Chu Miao urged Gu Yue to explain clearly what had happened, who their ancestors were, and how she had saved them, and how she had become their family's ancestor.

Gu Yue then began to speak slowly.

More than a thousand years ago, in the Great Chu Kingdom, their ancestors were just bandits who ruled over the mountains. The Great Chu Kingdom sent people to suppress the bandits.

When the army arrived, all the bandits on the mountain were captured and were to be killed, regardless of age. It was Chu Miao who saved them.

Chu Miao learned that their rule over the mountain was due to a grievance.

They were originally law-abiding citizens, but because the government was corrupt and oppressed the people, they could no longer survive and chose to become mountain bandits.

Chu Miao reported this to the king, who pardoned them and punished the corrupt officials.

She also left behind martial arts secrets and medical manuals for their ancestors, as well as some ways to make money that she herself had researched.

Their ancestors were moved and kowtowed, acknowledging Chu Miao as their benefactor and vowing to support Chu Miao for generations to come, in gratitude for Chu Miao's great kindness and virtue.

"Sister Miao."

Chu Yue leaned close to Chu Miao's ear and whispered, "There really was such a thing. I still remember it. Back then, it caused quite a stir and implicated many officials. Even the Emperor advised you not to get involved, but you and the Imperial Advisor were stubborn enough to drag all the corrupt officials out."

Chu Miao naturally remembered such a big event.

She even remembered the ancestors that Gu Yue mentioned.

She originally went along to suppress bandits and join in the fun, but she unexpectedly stumbled upon the bandits who were incredibly righteous and secretly helped the people down the mountain. They only robbed wealthy merchants, and after spending the money they stole, they also used it to help the poor people down the mountain.

Moved by their plight, Chu Miao led the Imperial Preceptor to investigate the details and clear their names. Afterward, she gave Gu Yuan many martial arts manuals and medical books, and also taught them how to survive.

"Your ancestor may be called Gu Yuan."

Chu Miao asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that Chu Miao could still call out the names of their ancestors, Gu Yue was overjoyed, "That's right! Our ancestor actually remembers our ancestors!"

Chu Miao's expression turned even uglier, filled with extreme shame and indignation. She picked up the teapot beside her and threw it hard at the man!

The tea was still scalding hot, and it all splashed onto Gu Yue, causing her face to turn pale for a moment in pain.

He immediately knelt down: "Grandmaster, have I done something wrong that displeased you?"

The people from Gushan also knelt down, forming a huge row of kneeling figures in the hall and outside!

"I saved your ancestor's life because I saw his noble spirit! And yet, you beasts have appeared in his body!"

Chu Miao angrily retorted, "For your own filthy and despicable desires, you cruelly wiped out entire families!! You orphaned young children! You caused countless deaths! If I had known their descendants were scum like you, I would never have saved them!"

Chu Miao was so angry that her chest heaved violently!

She was furious and extremely ashamed!

Only then did she realize that it was her kindness that had caused Si Yelin to lose his parents at a young age and to live a life of suffering.

She said she would help Si Yelin get revenge, but it turns out that this group of people exists because of her!

If it weren't for her kindness back then, these people would never have survived!

Then Si Yelin's parents wouldn't have been in trouble, Si Yelin wouldn't have become an orphan, and he could have had a good family.

But they were all destroyed!

She ruined it all!

Thinking of these things, a surge of anger and grief rose from Chu Miao's abdomen, burning her entire stomach with a fiery pain.

"Grandmaster, please calm your anger!" Gu Yue knelt down and said, "But you say we wiped out their entire family, we really cannot accept that. The Gu family has a family precept that we must never do evil or commit violence, we have never done anything to harm others!"

"No?" Xiao Lang stood up abruptly, pointing at him and cursing, "If you don't have any, then how did my second brother's parents die?!"

"If you didn't have it, why would we have been able to attack today!"

“You not only killed my second brother’s parents, but you have also been harassing him all these years, hiring people to assassinate him. Do you think you can hide all of this?”

"Have you no shame at all?!"

Xiao Lang's face turned red with anger.

When Si Yelin thought of the tragic deaths of his parents, he could not hide his grief. Hearing their nonchalant excuses, he felt even more indignant and furious!

They killed his parents, yet claimed they had never done anything wrong.

The image of his parents' tragic deaths haunted him daily, like a nightmare, causing him more than twenty years of pain and sorrow.

They actually said so casually that they hadn't done anything wrong!

Si Yelin gripped the armrests of his chair tightly and stood up: "My parents were national-level senior engineering designers. They were forced by you to research the time machine for you. After the research was successful, you killed them to cover your tracks and sent people to hunt them down. If my grandfather hadn't risked his life to protect me and hide me in the basement, my grandfather and I would have been killed along with you. That day, a total of twenty-seven of you broke into my house and brutally murdered eighteen of my family's servants!"

Si Yelin's voice was filled with indignation, his expression one of unprecedented hatred and resentment, his eyes reddening with resentment!

Gu Yue vehemently denied it: "I know who you're talking about, but if you try to shift all the blame onto us and say that we ruined your whole family, then we won't accept that!"

"We are clearly the victims in this whole affair!"
