Chapter 23: The Feud and Debts of Love Between the Two Palace Masters of Yihua Palace!

Zhao Qing asked, "Brother Hua, were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Hua Wuque immediately interrupted, "I've been here since last night, but I have no interest in listening to you, so I deliberately avoided you."

Zhao Qing smiled, put his hand on Hua Wuque's shoulder, and asked, "Then what are you waiting here for?"

Hua Wuque said seriously, "I'm afraid Ren Ying will harm you."

Zhao Qing joked, "You care about me that much?"

He found flirting with Hua Wuque more interesting than flirting with women.

Hua Wuque said seriously, "Our deal isn't over yet. I don't want you to die at someone else's hands."

After saying that, he stopped, shrugged, shook off Zhao Qing's arm, took two quick steps, and then turned around.

"Young Master Zhao, the matter you entrusted to me has been completed. Now it's time to tell me what you promised."

Hua Wuque was very anxious about his origins.

Zhao Qing didn't make things difficult for him, after all, Hua Wuque had been a great help on this trip to Blackwood Cliff.

Without his help, the outcome this time would have been hard to predict!

Given his strength at the time, he definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat Xiang Wentian, Ren Woxing, and Linghu Chong simultaneously.

Zhao Qing walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

Then, looking up to the upper right, he said, "If Miss Huang wants to know, why don't you come down and talk?"

"What are you doing eavesdropping here?"

Huang Rong, who had been eavesdropping from the rooftop, was discovered. She stopped hiding and jumped down to stand in front of Zhao Qing.

Sitting to Zhao Qing's right, he cupped his face in his hands, looked at Zhao Qing eagerly, and urged, "Speak quickly!"

Huang Rong's gossipy nature left Hua Wuque quite exasperated.

However, there's no need to hide it from Huang Rong. Anyway, Zhao Qing has already told her about it, and soon the whole world will know.

"Young Master Zhao, please speak!"

"Brother Hua, have you heard of the handsome Jiang Feng?"

Zhao Qing asked Hua Wuque with a smile, wanting to know how Hua Wuque would react after learning the truth.

However, Hua Wuque remained calm; he was always like that, always composed.

"Jiang Feng, the Jade Gentleman, was very famous eighteen years ago; I've heard of him."

"Jiang Feng, the handsome young man, is known as the most handsome man in the world and the kindest person in the world."

"He is very rich, but he uses all his money to help others."

Jiang Feng is the sworn brother of Yan Nantian, the number one swordsman of the Ming Dynasty.

The two had a very good relationship, and their story of joining forces eighteen years ago is quite famous.

But Jiang Feng was eventually killed by the Twelve Constellations, which Hua Wuque regretted.

He believes that if Jiang Feng were still alive, he would continue to help more people in need.

It is truly a pity that such a good person died at such a young age.

After listening, Zhao Qing said, "Brother Hua knows too little. Let me tell you in detail."

"Jiang Feng was seriously injured during a chase back then, and was rescued by Yaoyue, the Palace Master of Yihua Palace."

"Yaoyue fell in love at first sight and broke the sect rules to bring Jiang Feng back to the palace."

"After that, Yaoyue took care of Jiang Feng with all her might, treating his injuries and helping him take revenge."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuque frowned and asked, "Is what Young Master Zhao said true? That's absolutely impossible!"

"Brother Hua, nothing is impossible in this world."

Zhao Qing said, "But what I didn't expect was that Jiang Feng didn't love Yaoyue, but fell in love with her maid Huayuenü."

With Hua Yuenü's help, the two eloped and escaped from the Yihua Palace.

"To escape the pursuit, he went to find Jiang Feng's sworn brother, Yan Nantian."

"But Jiang Feng was betrayed by his page Jiang Qin, his whereabouts were exposed, and he was eventually killed."

"The Twelve Constellations are hunting down Jiang Feng, but does Young Master Hua know who ordered them?"

Hua Wuque was always clever, and after a moment's thought, he understood the truth.

"Is my eldest aunt the mastermind behind this?"

The usually composed Hua Wuque was extremely surprised at this moment.

"Because she couldn't have Jiang Feng, the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue hated him, so she sent the Twelve Constellations to hunt him down."

"But Palace Master Lianxing caught up with them and killed the Black-Faced Lord, the Rooster-Crested Man, and others."

Zhao Qing paused again.

Hua Wuque quickly thought about it, trying to figure out the truth.

Huang Rong couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me already!"

Zhao Qing dropped the mystery and told Hua Wuque directly, "Your father is Jiang Feng, and your mother is Hua Yuenü, a maid of the Palace Mistress Yaoyue."

"During our escape, Hua Yuenü gave birth to you."

"Palace Mistress Lianxing rushed to the scene to save Jiang Feng, but Palace Mistress Yaoyue also appeared."

"Your eldest aunt, Yaoyue, is the murderer who killed your biological parents."

The truth struck Hua Wuque like lightning.

He suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, and staggered.

He couldn't believe that his aunt, who had raised him for eighteen years and taught him martial arts, was actually his father's killer!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The usually calm Hua Wuque completely lost control this time.

This event had a huge impact on him.

"If my aunt was the murderer, why did she raise me for eighteen years?"

"She not only raised me, but also taught me martial arts and patiently guided me..."

Hua Wuque couldn't understand, so Zhao Qing interrupted him directly: "Because Hua Yuenü gave birth to twins!"

"Lianxing was ordered by Yaoyue to kill the twins, but she was more merciful than the older sister."

"I couldn't bring myself to kill the two babies, and I couldn't stop the older sister."

Lianxing devised a wicked plan: to raise the two brothers, let them kill each other, and the one who survives will learn the truth.

"Palace Mistress Yaoyue hated Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü to the core, and felt that killing them alone would not be enough to quell her hatred, so she agreed to this plan."

"My brother was taken back to the Yihua Palace, named Hua Wuque, became the successor to the Palace Master, and learned all of the Invitation Master's martial arts."

"My younger brother was named Jiang Xiaoyu. He was taken in by the great hero Yan Nantian and sent to the Valley of Villains."

"This is the truth of what happened back then!"

Hua Wuque was stunned when he learned the truth.

My mind is a complete mess, and I have absolutely no idea what to do.

The truth was too much of a shock for him to accept.

But Zhao Qing's words were clear and logical, and the evidence was conclusive, so Hua Wuque had to believe him.

He had always suspected why his aunt insisted that he kill Jiang Xiaoyu.

Yaoyue had told him since he was a child that Jiang Xiaoyu was the mortal enemy of Yihua Palace.

Only by killing Jiang Xiaoyu can the eldest and second aunts feel at ease, and only then can Yihua Palace be safe.

As a child, Hua Wuque didn't think much of it and only regarded Jiang Xiaoyu as the biggest threat to Yihua Palace.

For the sake of Yihua Palace, and for the sake of his eldest and second aunts, he practiced martial arts diligently, vowing to personally subdue Jiang Xiaoyu.

But when he grew up, Yaoyue told him that Jiang Xiaoyu had to die by his hand and that he must not let anyone else or any accident kill him.

This matter is very suspicious. Hua Wuque asked for the reason, and Yaoyue got angry on the spot, which frightened him so much that he dared not mention it again.

Now that Zhao Qing has revealed the truth, it's hard to tell whether it's true or false, but if what he said is true, all the problems are solved.

"I have to go back and ask my aunt!"

Hua Wuque, in a state of mental confusion, decided to return to Yihua Palace to question Yaoyue.

Zhao Qing stopped him: "Brother Hua, do you think Yaoyue will tell you the truth?"

"Even if she did say it, have you considered the consequences?"

Hua Wuque shook off Zhao Qing's hand: "My aunt raised me for eighteen years. If she really wants to kill me, I'll give her my life back!"

Zhao Qing retorted, "What about Jiang Xiaoyu?"

"Don't you care whether your own brother lives or dies?"

"Aren't you going to avenge your parents either?"

Hua Wuque immediately stopped in his tracks.

Zhao Qing stepped forward: "Brother Hua, I don't care if you want to die, but don't drag me into it!"

"If Yaoyue finds out I leaked it, will I still be alive?"

"Take my advice: if you want to find out the truth, you must follow the steps."

"Your second aunt is very good to you, truly so. You should start your investigation from her."
