All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Chapter 102 Father and Son Reunite

Zhang Cheng and his two companions returned the way they came and soon reunited with the group of beggars.

At this moment, only Qiao Feng, Li Qiushui, A Zhu, and A Bi were still standing in the field; everyone else was lying sprawled on the ground, fast asleep.

The group was taken aback when they saw Xiao Yuanshan.

The reason was that the old man looked so much like Qiao Feng; his eyebrows, eyes, and features were practically identical.

Qiao Feng stood frozen in place, his lips moving: "You—you are—"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at him, his voice trembling slightly: "Good child, I am your father."

Qiao Feng instinctively wanted to retort, "You're talking nonsense, my father is clearly—" but he stopped himself halfway through his sentence.

He knew from childhood that he looked nothing like Grandpa and Grandma Qiao, but he took it as his natural disposition and never thought much about it.

But this old man who appeared out of nowhere looked seven or eight parts like himself, and it was easy to tell who was close and who was distant at a glance.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "But—how is that possible? If I were your child, why would I have been raised by the Qiao couple from a young age?"

Xiao Yuanshan's face instantly darkened: "Because a bunch of damned scoundrels killed your mother when you were little and took you away from me!"

Qiao Feng was shocked. Since he became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he had led the sect to unprecedented heights in just a few years, and his wisdom and martial prowess were extraordinary.

At this moment, my mind raced, and many things that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

This old man was clearly Xiao Yuanshan, whose whereabouts had just been discovered by Zhang Cheng.

This person was able to lurk nearby without being discovered, indicating extremely high cultivation. His secretive eavesdropping must be closely related to today's events.

Add to that the sudden betrayal of his gang members, the suspicious Elder Xu, and the martial arts masters he invited—

It seems there's more to his so-called "biological father" identity than meets the eye, to the point that this group of people rebelled against him simply because they knew about it.

At this point, Qiao Feng was unaware of his Khitan identity, only assuming that his father might be some evil demon. But even so, what did it matter? He was still his father.

He composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Old sir, you say I am your son, but what other proof do you have? If it's just the resemblance in appearance, I'm afraid it won't convince you."

Xiao Yuanshan sensed his hesitation, reached out, and tore open his shirt to reveal a wolf's head embroidered with tattoos.

Qiao Feng was taken aback, then he also tore open his own clothes. What was revealed inside was also a wolf's head with bared fangs and a dark green color.

Zhang Cheng watched in amazement. Putting aside the difficulty of tattooing a baby, the design itself, which can be enlarged proportionally thirty years later and still look lifelike and exactly as it was, is truly exceptional.

The father and son's reunion is still ongoing.

Qiao Feng silently tucked his clothes in and said in a deep voice, "So, it seems my original name was Xiao Feng. Then, it seems my father's enemy back then was Vice Chief Ma?"

As soon as he said it, he shook his head and glanced at the Tan family members, the Shan family father and son, Master Zhiguang and the others on the ground: "No, if it were just Deputy Chief Ma, there shouldn't be so many outsiders involved. It seems that Father has many enemies."

"

Upon seeing his son acknowledge him, Xiao Yuanshan was overwhelmed with emotion and said in a trembling voice, "That's right, good child. These people are our father and son's enemies. Today, as we reunite, we can wipe them all out!"

Ma Dayuan was not among those who besieged Xiao Yuanshan back then. However, Xiao Yuanshan had become twisted by hatred over the years, and in his eyes, all these Song people deserved to die.

Moreover, Ma Dayuan was a close subordinate of Wang Jiantong. Wang Jiantong was one of the masterminds behind the group that attacked and killed his family years ago.

Ma Dayuan knew the truth but still helped deceive his son, so he was naturally his enemy.

Xiao Feng, however, was unaware of the crucial details and believed that Ma Dayuan had died at Xiao Yuanshan's hands because of this. He thought to himself: It seems that Madam Ma discovered some clues and contacted Elder Xu, which led to today's events.

Since my father killed these people, then the son should pay for the father's sins. These people have not done anything wrong by turning against me today.

Having figured out the cause and effect, Xiao Feng reached out to support his agitated father and said in a deep voice, "If it is really as Father says, and these people have a blood feud with me for killing my mother and sowing discord, I will certainly not let them go."

However, a true man acts with integrity and uprightness. If my son and I wish to seek revenge, we should do so openly and honestly, not resort to such underhanded tactics.

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Cheng and the others: "Thank you for waking everyone up, Senior Li. My son and I want to confront them and clarify things first."

Li Qiushui turned to look at Zhang Cheng, and seeing him nod slightly, she didn't say anything more, but suddenly shouted.

The people lying on the ground were startled awake by the noise and scrambled to their feet.

Recalling how he had inexplicably fainted just now, his gaze fell on Li Qiushui again, filled with surprise and doubt.

"Hey Xu, now everyone's here," Zhang Cheng said loudly, drawing everyone's attention back. "You can begin your performance now."

Only then did everyone notice that there was an old man next to their gang leader who looked about seven or eight parts similar to him in appearance, stature, and demeanor.

Most of the later Beggars' Sect disciples never met Qiao Sanhuai, only knowing that he was the sect leader's biological father, Lord Qiao.

However, the Beggars' Sect disciples who participated in the rebellion, as well as Elder Xu, Madam Ma, the Donkey Rider, Master Zhiguang, and others, already knew about Xiao Feng's background.

Upon seeing the old man, everyone had a different expression and their own thoughts.

The most obvious examples are the Donkey Rider and Master Zhiguang.

Upon seeing the old man, the donkey rider trembled violently, as if he had encountered a vengeful ghost, his voice trembling: "You—you're still alive!"

Xiao Yuanshan sneered, "Since you beasts are still alive, I will naturally live."

Master Zhiguang clasped his hands together and sighed, "Thirty years have passed—I never imagined that Heaven would have eyes and that Elder Xiao would still be alive. In this way, our past sins can be somewhat lessened."

"Reduce it a little?" Xiao Yuanshan's eyes blazed with fury. "A little bit less, you say?! Does my survival lessen your sins? What kind of utter nonsense is that?"

Seeing that his father seemed about to make a move, Xiao Feng quickly stopped him.

The rest of the people in the room had not been involved in the incident from thirty years ago. Now, listening to these three old guys talking back and forth, they felt completely confused and had no idea what to do.

Xiao Feng was also puzzled. What happened to the son of a demon? How come the current situation makes it seem like his father is in the right, and even a virtuous monk like Master Zhiguang doesn't dare to meet his gaze?

Seeing his father's agitated state and the guilty looks on the faces of the donkey rider and Master Zhiguang, he knew the matter couldn't be resolved quickly. Suppressing his doubts, he turned to Elder Xu and said in a deep voice, "Elder Xu, you've invited so many martial arts masters here, and even instigated your brothers to turn against me. Now, shouldn't we make things clear?"
