Chapter 371

~7 min read 1,353 words

After hearing Li Qingluo's words, Su Hang smiled faintly.

After all, she was his mother-in-law, and it was their first meeting, so Su Hang naturally could not lash out.

If it were anyone else who dared to speak to Su Hang like this, they would likely have been beheaded by now.

A Han Diaosi, a Su Changhe—these were enough to illustrate the terrifying nature of this peerless powerhouse!

Even if Wang Xianzhi, the head of the world's martial Dao, came, he would definitely not be able to withstand it!

Thinking of this, Su Hang smiled and said slowly:

"Since that is the case, I will start with the Lady's background."

Su Hang paused, picked up the tea in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.

As for Li Qingluo's background, he could not be clearer.

It was not hard to guess just by thinking about it; why would he need to calculate?

But at this very moment,

Li Qingluo was indeed interested after hearing Su Hang say this.

She smiled slightly, looking at Su Hang mysteriously, her eyes releasing a luster that made people unable to see through her.

In reality, Li Qingluo herself did not know much about her own background.

She only remembered that when she was very young, she was sent to Jiangnan by a master.

In Jiangnan, she was taken in by a wealthy family and became the young lady of that house.

Later on, she married into a local famous family in Jiangnan—the Wang family!

Although this Wang family could not be considered a famous family in the true sense, in a place like Jiangnan, they were at most just a very wealthy family.

But they were relatives of the Murong clan, and close relatives at that.

After that, when her husband passed away, Li Qingluo took over Mantuo Shanzhuang, and that was how everything else came to be.

But regardless, when it came to her own background, Li Qingluo was not clear about it either.

She had no impression of her parents or her family lineage.

Walking along the path, it seemed as if everything had already been arranged; there was no need for Li Qingluo to worry, and no need for her to do anything extra.

It seemed that everything was developing in the best direction: a young lady from a good family, later marrying into a branch of the Murong clan, and after that inheriting the entire Mantuo Shanzhuang, becoming the 'Flower Fertilizer Lady' whom everyone in the Wu Lin feared. Such things were indeed smooth, smooth to an unusual degree.

Thinking of this, Li Qingluo smiled faintly.

"Fine!"

"Let's see what you can say!"

"If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying this, Li Qingluo gave a look, and a stout old woman instantly stood out.

This old woman was about fifty or sixty years old; although she looked thin, her eyes flashed with a sharp light at every moment, as if she wanted to swallow alive everyone she saw!

Especially when she saw men, she would gnash her teeth in hatred; even the usually gentle Su Hang appeared to be an unforgivable villain in her eyes.

This was none other than Mantuo Shanzhuang's top enforcer, Yan Mama.

At this moment, Yan Mama looked at Su Hang with a fierce expression and said unpleasantly:

"Kid!"

"Our Lady is of such noble status, don't you dare talk nonsense!"

"Otherwise, this old woman will definitely tear your mouth apart and make you kneel and beg for mercy!"

Yan Mama was originally a crude person, and relying on her martial arts, she had been a favorite of Li Qingluo for all these years.

Her most formidable skill was not her martial arts, but her methods of torturing people; regardless of age or gender, no one could last more than two rounds in Yan Mama's hands.

At this moment, seeing Su Hang about to start fortune-telling, Yan Mama did not miss the opportunity to jump out and issue a stern warning!

After all, in Yan Mama's eyes, although they were currently in Xueyue City and not on Murong clan territory,

With the strength of Mantuo Shanzhuang, dealing with a small fortune-teller should not be difficult!

Speaking of this, Yan Mama even raised her head and glared fiercely at Wang Yuyan.

And Wang Yuyan, being glared at like this, was almost scared out of her wits.

She was suddenly startled and quickly hid behind Lianxing, looking like a weak woman.

At this moment, Lianxing could not bear to watch; if it hadn't been for considering Wang Yuyan's feelings, Yan Mama would likely already be a corpse.

Although Lianxing was easy to talk to, her martial arts were also top-notch; in the entire Inviting Moon Palace, Lianxing's martial arts were second only to Yao Yue!

And at the same time, Su Hang looked at the Li Qingluo before him and finally spoke slowly:

"Lady Li, actually, your surname follows your mother's, not your father's."

"Although no one in the entire Jianghu can deny the prestige of your parents,"

Su Hang had only just begun to speak when the crowd instantly erupted,

As if several deep-water bombs had been detonated at once, catching everyone off guard!

"What! What does that mean! Did Mr. Su just say that this Li Qingluo follows her mother's surname?"

"In other words, her mother's surname is Li, and her father's surname is not Li?"

"How absurd! Within the world, in the Jianghu, where do children follow their mother's surname? Could it be that her mother took in a son-in-law?"

"How could that be, brother! You must know that Li Qingluo is from a great Jiangnan family; such a family would at least find a son of a high official or noble, how could they take in a son-in-law?"

"Exactly! You must know that since ancient times in Jiangnan, famous families have often intermarried... With Lady Li's background, she would definitely not just find a son-in-law!"

"I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so explosive the moment he opened his mouth!"

At this moment,

Hearing Su Hang say this, Li Qingluo could not help but be stunned.

"You know my background?"

Su Hang nodded and continued:

"To tell you the truth, Lady Li's parents were both rare martial Dao powerhouses of their time!"

"It's just that from childhood to adulthood, you haven't had much impression of them..."

"If one were to speak in terms of background, Lady Li does not belong to a famous family, but a martial Dao family!"

Speaking of this, Su Hang paused and continued:

"Because your mother is none other than the second disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect of that time, who is now the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, Li Qiushui!"

"What..."

Before Li Qiushui could fully react, Su Hang's voice continued to ring out,

"And your father is none other than the third disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect of that time, who is now the second-generation Sect Leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wu Yazi!"

As soon as Su Hang said this, the entire Half-Moon Inn, inside and out, was like a pot that had boiled over.

In the crowd, an uncontrollable clamor instantly erupted.

Everyone looked at each other, completely at a loss for what to say.

"What! What did Mr. Su say? Lady Li's biological mother is actually the current Empress Dowager of Western Xia... How is this possible?"

"And! Mr. Su just said that Lady Li's biological father is none other than the second-generation Sect Leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wu Yazi!"

"Unbelievable! I never thought the mistress of Mantuo Shanzhuang was actually from a hidden martial Dao family; her background is so well-connected!"

"If that's the case... isn't Lady Li a member of the Xiaoyao Sect by birth?"

"That is indeed the case! If the Xiaoyao Sect hadn't already fallen apart, Li Qingluo would likely have been a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect long ago..."

Wang Yuyan heard this and quickly covered her mouth, saying in disbelief:

"This..."

"How could this be?"

"My mother's background is actually related to the Xiaoyao Sect?"
