Chapter 287 Who is Ye Qingzhou
Since Ye Qingzhou was accepted as his disciple, Ye Qingzhou has always been self-disciplined and polite. This is the first time Jiang Ruohu has seen him so mad with bloodshot eyes. Jiang Ruohu couldn't help but sigh. He had always avoided meeting him. Wasn't it because he was afraid of this scene?
"I know I have let you down. Now that I think about it, what I have done is no different from those unscrupulous people whom I hate the most. But I have no choice. The Soul-Locking Pill has injured my tendons and veins. I don't have much time left. But eradicating the Fangruo Sect is my lifelong wish and I must accomplish it!"
"You..." Ye Qingzhou was shocked. Could it be that he had followed Jiang Ruohu's body for so many years but had never noticed it at all?
"I'm not telling you this to make you sympathize with me or forgive me, I've just been holding it in for too long and I can't help but speak out. Maybe you think I'm too heartless to you, but it's not that I haven't considered you. The martial arts world is a huge arena. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If you are not strong enough, you can only be slaughtered. You are young and have a high character. How can you be willing to accompany me to live in seclusion for the rest of your life? What's more, with your identity, even if you want to live in peace in a corner, the wind will not stop even if the tree wants to be quiet. Since we are destined to fight, we must break through and build up. Becoming the master of the entire arena and the one who makes the rules is what you want in your heart, isn't it?"
Ye Qingzhou smiled bitterly and sighed, "Sure enough, the one who understands me best in this world is only Master..."
"Although I understand you, I still cannot see through you, just like I don't understand why you are so hasty. Repeated expansion has caused complaints and made people uneasy. If you can take it slow, you may be able to fight against the Jinyiwei. Why did you end up in this situation now?"
Ye Qingzhou stared at Jiang Ruohu, his eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, "You don't have time, but do I have time? Master..."
"What do you mean by that? Isn't it... No wonder your pulse is so chaotic, no wonder it's so difficult for you to deal with Zhou Qingye? The secret book I gave you, your quick version? You... did it for me?"
Jiang Ruohu knew that Ye Qingzhou had unspeakable feelings for her deep in his heart, but she never knew that his feelings for her were so deep, so deep that he would risk his life to improve his skills to avenge her.
"Master, I am doing this for you, but more importantly for myself!"
Ye Qingzhou looked crazy, "Master, you are the only person in the world who treats me well. When you are around, I can still feel a little warmth and beauty in this world, but they killed you, and it aroused all my hatred. I hate the days of being a fish on the chopping board, I hate all those who use me as a chess piece, I hate those superiors who have the power of life and death. I hate them, and I want to destroy them, and I want to... become them!
I really can't wait any longer. I can do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. But when I really kill them all and replace them, standing at the top of the sect and even the entire martial arts world, I know the loneliness and depression at the top, especially when I find out that the price of becoming them is to become as greedy and unscrupulous as they are. I even feel disgusted with myself!"
Ye Qingzhou paused, then smiled, "Master, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I was the one who spread the news of the treasure map..."
Jiang Ruohu was shocked, and then suddenly realized, "You want all those who covet the treasure to die in this fight..."
Jiang Ruohu stared at the handsome young man whom she had brought up, and he could no longer see him clearly.
Ye Qingzhou shook his head, "Not only that, I thought this treasure map was the nightmare of my life! Master, didn't you say that you couldn't see through me? In fact, I wanted to tell you the secret a long time ago, but unfortunately, before I found a chance to speak, you had already faked your death. Now that you have told me your secret, I also hope that you can see the real me!"
Jiang Ruohu was not interested in this secret at first, but when he thought about how much uproar had been caused in the martial arts world because of this secret, and how Ye Qingzhou had kept it for many years, and now this secret was actually snatched away by her, his heart trembled.
"Master, don't you find it strange? My Ye family is a famous family after all, but why is my martial arts foundation so shallow? My parents are both alive, and I grew up spoiled, so why am I so rebellious and stubborn? Why did I never mention revenge for my parents when I followed you to learn martial arts..."
"Because... I am not a member of the Ye family! Haha... Isn't it ridiculous? Everyone thinks that I am the only child that the Ye couple protects with their lives, and that I carry a huge secret just to avenge my parents. In fact, I am just a cat that serves as a target for the prince. Isn't it ironic!"
Ye Qingzhou's words were like a needle that pierced through a tangled ball of thread. No wonder, she had indeed sensed something was wrong before, but she was immersed in her own purpose and never thought deeply about it. So that's how it was, so that's how it was!
"Then... who are you?"
Ye Qingzhou spoke in a very soft voice, tears unconsciously falling on his expressionless face.
"Who am I? For so many years, everyone has called me Ye Qingzhou, and even I have almost forgotten who I am. My father is an ordinary groom of the Ye family. The Ye family saved my father's life, and I grew up in the Ye family since I was a child. I was born good-looking, but Ye Qingzhou is plain-looking. The servants gossip about me behind my back, saying that compared to him, I am more like a young master, but it's a pity that I have the body of a young master and the life of a servant. Ye Qingzhou is not angry, but likes me very much. He always likes to bring me with him, so he usually practices martial arts, and I can also learn a little bit. My father left early, and I also regard the Ye family as my home, and Ye Qingzhou as my master, friend and support.
What happened next was that the Ye family was guilty of possessing a treasure. The Ye family knew that they could not protect it, and they also knew that it was useless to explain it. Even if Ye Qingzhou could survive, he would be disturbed for the rest of his life..."
"So the best way is to find a scapegoat and make the real Ye Qingzhou disappear completely, hoping for the future. The love that the Ye couple has for their son is really disgusting!"
Jiang Ruohu sneered disdainfully, and Ye Qingzhou also laughed.
"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. They are not wrong from their perspective. The Ye family has done a favor to my father, and Ye Qingzhou has done a favor to me. I should repay the favor. At that time, I thought that even if I died for him, it would be my duty. But every day and night after that, when the righteousness turned into fear, the hatred in my heart grew stronger. Why can he live comfortably and freely, while I have to be shrouded in endless pain? Is it because his father saved my father's life? Or is it because he is the master and I am the servant? Slaves are also human beings. Do slaves deserve to be sacrificed?"
"At first I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't have time to think about it. Later, after I cleared all obstacles and climbed to a high position, I finally figured it out. I have already paid back what I owed to the Ye family, but it's time for him, Ye Qingzhou, to pay back what he owes me!"
"Who is the real Ye Qingzhou?" Jiang Ruohu pondered for a moment, "It's... Zhou Qingye! Your goal is to lure him out of the dark. This is about his family. No matter it's true or false, he can't keep calm. Zhou Qingye, Ye Qingzhou, no wonder you could have stabbed him with that sword, but couldn't bear to do it. Maybe you think you hate him, but you don't. He is the same."
"Maybe. After so many years of entanglement, I can no longer tell them apart..."
There is only one last question left, "Does the Ye family's treasure house really exist?"
Ye Qingzhou laughed loudly, "In fact, I have been telling the truth from the beginning to the end. I didn't know anything at all! How could the Ye family reveal such a secret to me, a son of a groom?"
"Then Zhou Qingye doesn't know either? Why didn't his parents tell him the secret before they died?"
"Perhaps the Ye family doesn't have a treasure trove at all. Perhaps they once had one, but they have long since run out of money. Perhaps it has been plundered by the previous Jinyiwei commander who spread the rumor. Or perhaps it really still exists, but the Ye couple didn't tell them for the sake of their son's safety. But the truth is only known to Zhou Qingye, no, Ye Qingzhou himself."
“Whether the treasure house exists or not, it is the door to evil thoughts and greed. But from today on, this door will no longer exist. It will follow Ye Qingzhou and Zhou Qingye and disappear from this world forever…”
End.
