The reason we haven't taken action yet is simply because we want to wait for Mr. Li to tell the whole truth about what happened back then.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Chengqian said, "All of this begins with Jiang Feng sixteen years ago."
"Jiang Feng, the most handsome man in the martial arts world, although his martial arts skills are mediocre, his appearance, temperament, and family background are all top-notch..."
"There is a legend about Jiang Feng circulating in the martial arts world: no young girl in the world can resist Jiang Feng's slight smile."
"To be fair, in the era before Li, Jiang Feng was indeed the most handsome man."
""
Mr. Li, that's not interesting. If you're going to tell a story, then tell a story.
How can you possibly smuggle in your own agenda?
"One day, Pang Wen, the leader of the four spirits among the twelve constellations, and a group of villains besieged Jiang Feng."
"Just when Jiang Feng was in mortal danger, Yaoyue from Yihua Palace came to his rescue."
"During Jiang Feng's recovery at Yihua Palace, the two palace mistresses, Lianxing and Yaoyue, unsurprisingly fell in love with him."
After speaking for a while, Li Chengqian stopped to rest.
The once bustling inn became eerily quiet.
No one dared to mention it, let alone discuss it.
All that is known in the martial arts world is that Jiang Feng has been hunted down by the Yihua Palace ever since he visited it.
But no one expected that Yaoyue would fall in love with Jiang Feng, and that she would fall in love with her own sister as well.
This is such a bombshell!
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
The teacup in her hand had been crushed to pieces, just thinking about her love for Jiang Feng back then...
Yaoyue felt endless pain in her heart.
Because Yaoyue doesn't allow herself to become a fickle woman, yet she can't change her current love for Li Chengqian.
If Li Chengqian really is as he thinks, he doesn't know what choice he will make.
Looking at the figure outside the window, a trace of blood had already seeped from the corner of Yaoyue's mouth.
He muttered to himself, "You have resolved countless doubts for the world, so can you tell me how I should choose?"
Dongfang Bubai looked at Lianxing with surprise. It was understandable that Yaoyue had feelings for Jiang Feng.
But he never expected that Lianxing would also fall in love with Jiang Feng.
Lianxing gave a bitter smile in response to Dongfang Bubai's gaze.
The love between myself and my sister was a tragic fate from beginning to end, just as it was sixteen years ago, and it remains so sixteen years later.
The only difference is that the older sister can't kill Mr. Li.
Chapter 280 Jiang Yuyan's Despair, Xiaoyuer's Dilemma
The gossip about the twin sisters from sixteen years ago excited countless people. After a pause, Li Chengqian continued.
"During Jiang Feng's recovery, Yao Yue took meticulous care of him, even revealing a gentle side that she had never seen even her own sister."
"Zhang San Niang, beautiful beyond compare, invites the moonlight from the deep palace."
"A woman of unparalleled beauty in the martial arts world fell in love with the most handsome man in the martial arts world. This should have been a perfect match."
"However, matters of the heart are unpredictable, and Jiang Feng dislikes Yaoyue's autocratic and domineering nature."
Instead, he developed feelings for his maid, Hua Yuenü, and the two eventually escaped from Yihua Palace, got married, and became pregnant.
"From then on, the Yihua Palace began its pursuit of Jiang Feng."
"Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü spent some time hiding in the martial arts world. During this time, Jiang Feng sold off his property, planning to take Hua Yuenü to the ends of the earth."
"Then, just as he was about to reunite with his sworn brother Yan Nantian, another unexpected event occurred."
"They encountered the Twelve Constellations again, and unsurprisingly, Jiang Feng was seriously injured once more."
Just when Jiang Feng thought he was about to die, history repeated itself, and Yaoyue arrived.
"Most of the twelve constellations members were killed or injured and fled in panic, leaving only the seriously injured Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü behind."
"Although history repeats itself, the outcome is different this time. This time, Yaoyue did not choose to save Jiang Feng."
"Instead, he watched helplessly as the two died right before his eyes."
"The deaths of Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü did not quell Yao Yue's anger, so she devised a vicious plan."
"She gave one of Jiang Feng's children to Yan Nantian, and took the other child back to Yihua Palace to teach him carefully."
"The purpose was to make the two brothers kill each other sixteen years later."
After speaking, Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and began to sip his tea, while Xiaoyuer, who had been sitting in the corner, had bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Li, could you tell me the names of those two children?"
Glancing at Xiaoyuer below, Li Chengqian said calmly, "These two children are named Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer."
Having confirmed the answer he already knew in his heart, Little Fish retreated with a silly grin on his face.
Should I seek revenge on Yaoyue?
Perhaps so, after all, she indirectly drove her parents to their deaths.
But what about Hua Wuque? Would he lay a hand on his master who raised him for sixteen years?
At this moment, Xiaoyuer truly regretted knowing the truth; what if he had never known the truth for the rest of his life?
He could stay at the Peace Inn with a clear conscience forever, and become good friends with Hua Wuque, who were not brothers but were even closer than brothers.
Ignoring Xiaoyuer's emotions, Li Chengqian continued, "That's roughly how the Jiang Feng tragedy happened back then."
"But there are some things that are not known to others, namely Jiang Feng's pageboy Jiang Qin."
"Back then, Jiang Feng entrusted his page Jiang Qin to sell his family property."
"Although Jiang Qin is called a page, Jiang Feng treats him like family; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted him with such an important matter."
"Who knew that Jiang Qin, who appeared honest and kind, had been harboring resentment in secret."
Hearing this, the crowd was somewhat puzzled.
"Mr. Li, didn't Jiang Feng treat Jiang Qin like family? Then why would he hold a grudge against Jiang Feng?"
"Exactly, could it be that there's some deep-seated blood feud between them?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "The two of them have no deep-seated hatred for each other."
“Jiang Feng returned his indenture to him long ago, and even spent money to help him start a family and build a career.”
"The reason why Jiang Qin harbors resentment towards Jiang Feng is entirely because of the time she served as Jiang Feng's page."
"In Jiang Qin's mind, she always thought that Jiang Feng looked down on her, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
“Jiang Qin naturally wouldn’t let it go, so he revealed Jiang Feng’s whereabouts to the Twelve Constellations and the Yihua Palace.”
"As soon as news of Jiang Feng's death arrived, Jiang Qin secretly hired assassins to kill Jiang Feng's entire family."
"In this way, he can legitimately fake his death, then change his name and start a new life."
After hearing the whole story, everyone was stunned, including Lianxing in room number one.
"Holy crap! Jiang Feng's entire family was actually killed by his pageboy. I always thought it was the Yihua Palace that did it."
"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
"No, this doesn't seem to make sense!"
"Since the person wasn't killed by Yihua Palace, why doesn't Yihua Palace come out to defend themselves?"
"That makes sense. No one in this world would like to take the blame for something they shouldn't!"
The martial arts practitioners below discussed the matter back and forth without reaching any conclusion, so everyone turned their attention to Li Chengqian.
"Cough cough!"
“Mr. Li, for years, the blame for the Jiang Feng family massacre has been pinned on the Yihua Palace.”
"But it seems that Palace Master Yaoyue has not offered any explanation. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Faced with this question, Li Chengqian slowly sipped his tea and uttered a single sentence.
"Given Palace Mistress Yaoyue's personality, do you think she would explain herself to you?"
""
It seems that's really the case. Take Yaoyue as an example; it's likely that someone is framing her now.
She would only silently kill the entire family of the mastermind behind it all; as for the rumors circulating in the martial arts world...
She probably doesn't care at all, and will give the entire martial arts world a disdainful look.
The translated meaning is roughly as follows.
If you want to attack me, then come on, if you have the ability.
boom!
The door to Room Number One was pushed open, and Lianxing walked out with a gloomy expression.
She had always thought that Jiang Feng's entire family was killed by her sister, since her sister was capable of doing such a thing.
That's why Yihua Palace has been silently bearing this blame all these years.
But I never imagined that someone else would do it.
"Mr. Li, could you please tell me Jiang Qin's whereabouts?"
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"Of course you can, and there's someone else in the inn who also wants to find Jiang Qin."
"After faking her death, Jiang Qin adopted the alias Jiang Biehe."
"This name should be familiar to you all."
As soon as Jiang Biehe's name was uttered, Jiang Yuyan, who was in the corner, turned deathly pale.
