She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 233 Tianlong 8 Part 47

It seems a little inappropriate to call your best friend's grandmother by her name in front of her.

Ah Zhu couldn't help but feel suspicious and her steps became hesitant.

But this matter could not be hidden from her best friend, so Ah Zhu bit her lips gently, as if she was going through a fierce struggle in her heart.

Finally, after careful consideration, Ah Zhu still felt that she should ask Wang Yuyan's opinion.

So, she asked carefully, "Yuyan, um... have you ever met your grandmother?"

When Wang Yuyan heard Ah Zhu's question, she was stunned at first, obviously very surprised by this sudden topic.

But she quickly came to her senses and thought that Ah Zhu must have a reason for asking this.

So, Wang Yuyan thought for a moment, and then slowly replied,

"To be honest, Ah Zhu, I have never seen my grandmother. From childhood to adulthood, I have rarely heard a word about her from my mother.

I remember when I was a child, out of curiosity, I asked my mother about my grandparents. However, every time I mentioned this topic, my mother looked gloomy and her mood suddenly became depressed.

As time went by, I no longer dared to mention this matter easily. "

Ah Zhu looked at the swaying branches nearby, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

She thought of Madam Wang, who married into the Wang family at a young age, Wuyazi, who had lived in the Xiaoyao Sect for many years, and Li Qiushui, who later turned around and remarried the King of Western Xia.

The complex entanglements and intertwined fates between these three people made Ah Zhu sigh at the impermanence of the world.

Ah Zhu thought that maybe they had considered their daughter's living conditions, but it seemed that they had never really cared deeply about it.

After all, Madam Wang became a widow at a young age. If she were an ordinary person, she would have to live a cautious and prudent life in her husband's family. However, Madam Wang could call the shots in Mantuo Villa, and she had the power to control the entire villa alone.

In addition, Ah Zhu recalled every moment she spent with Mrs. Wang and realized that she had never felt the slightest bit of restraint or oppression in front of her.

From this we can see that although the Wang family may be unwilling, they must be wary of the powerful Mrs. Wang and her beloved daughter, and are cautious in everything they do.

From this perspective, Mrs. Wang’s life is not too bad.

I just don't know if this is what Madam Wang wants. However, thinking about the arrangements that Madam Wang made for Wang Yuyan before, I think she must have some complaints about some things in the martial arts world and her biological parents.

But, that Li Qiushui... Ah Zhu frowned slightly, thinking to herself: No matter what, I have the responsibility to tell my good friend Wang Yuyan.

You can't let the grandparents and grandchildren kill each other, right? So, when night fell and everyone went to bed, Ah Zhu quietly asked Wang Yuyan to come to a quiet and secluded place.

The surroundings were silent, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves. The moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water. Ah Zhu looked a little uncomfortable.

"Yuyan, aren't you wondering why I asked you about your grandmother during the day? It's because I know something about your grandmother."

Ah Zhu spoke softly, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.

Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes moved as she quietly watched Ah Zhu's expression. She guessed that this matter might be a little unusual, so she waited for Ah Zhu's next words.

"Yuyan, this is news I heard from some special channels, but I'm not sure if it's true. But no matter what, I think you have the right to know, so you just need to be mentally prepared."

Wang Yuyan looked at her with confusion, and seeing her hesitating and wanting to say something, she gently patted Ah Zhu's shoulder and said.

"Hey, Ah Zhu, if you have something to say, just tell me. We are as close as sisters. Is there anything you can't tell me? Whether it's true or false, right or wrong, just tell me. I'm not a child. Don't you think I have the ability to judge right from wrong?"

Wang Yuyan's words encouraged Ah Zhu. She took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"Hmm... Well, I suddenly remembered this today. I accidentally got some relevant information before. Your grandmother might be Li Qiushui, who has been trying to assassinate Tianshan Tonglao recently, and my uncle."

"Grandma?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes widened instantly after hearing this, her face full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but exclaimed,

"How is this possible? My grandmother is still alive? And she wants to kill us? This is simply unbelievable."

Seeing this, Ah Zhu, who was standing by, was afraid that the news she revealed would cause a rift or conflict between the grandparents and grandchildren, so she hurriedly explained.

"You can't say they are here to kill us. The real target they want to deal with is Tianshan Tonglao. You two are implicated by me."

However, Wang Yuyan didn't care. Helping Ah Zhu was her own decision and she could bear the consequences. Besides, they were not injured along the way.

"How big of a difference can this make? We are now shouldering the important mission of bringing Tianshan Tonglao back to Xiaoyao Sect. If she insists on killing her, then those of us who are responsible for protecting her will definitely not be spared. Will they show mercy and let us go?"

"No." Ah Zhu shook his head

"Yuyan, you don't have to protect her. You have to know that you and Duan Yu are my friends. If it really comes to a critical moment, you just need to take care of yourselves. As for my uncle, it can only mean that this is her fate."

After knowing about this relationship, Wang Yuyan accepted it well and comforted her, "Azhu, I won't ask about your source of information, but can you first tell me in detail how this relationship came about?"

Ah Zhu certainly couldn't reveal the source of the information, so she could only give a rough idea.

"That is, your mother is most likely the daughter of my master Wuyazi and his uncle Li Qiushui, and you are their granddaughter."

Ah Zhu kept hitting her head as she spoke. Why didn't she think of it before? It was only this time when she was worried that Li Qiu Shui would come and attack that she remembered that they had this relationship.

Perhaps it was because she had never heard her mother talk about her grandfather's generation, and those two people had never appeared in her life.

Therefore, when Wang Yuyan asked, she actually felt like an outsider. There was no so-called family bond, only sudden curiosity.

"Then why didn't they come to Mantuo Villa to see us? I have never seen them either."

"Well, I don't know much about this matter. It's probably that Master was unfortunately murdered by his evil disciple Ding Chunqiu thirty years ago.

Since then, the master has been hiding in a cave in the back mountain of Xiaoyao Sect, leading a life isolated from the world.

As for my uncle Li Qiushui, I only know that she married far away in Xixia and became a noble princess. I know very little about the rest of her."

When Wang Yuyan heard Ah Zhu say this, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After all, she had not expected that they would go their separate ways even after they had a child. However, even Ah Zhu knew very little about these old stories, so Wang Yuyan did not forcefully ask further.

"Then why did Senior Li Qiushui keep hunting down the Child-Grandma of Tianshan? You should know that the Child-Grandma of Tianshan is highly skilled in martial arts and has deep internal strength. Her skills are also unique, and her strength will only reverse once every thirty years.

What kind of blood feud has kept her brooding for thirty years?"

Wang Yuyan was quite curious about this and couldn't help but continue asking. After all, if someone could hold a grudge for thirty years, he would be considered a ruthless person, or even more than thirty years.

Ah Zhu knew about this matter. "It's a long story. It is said that Li Qiushui took advantage of the time when Tianshan Tonglao was practicing the immortal longevity skill and suddenly plotted against her. As a result, Tianshan Tonglao could only maintain a child-like body shape for the rest of her life and could never grow up to be an adult."

"This is really extremely cruel. She made him look like a child all his life. My cheap grandmother is really a cruel character." Then, she continued to ask, "If this is the case, then the revenge of Tianshan Tonglao must be quite fierce, right?"

They have been in contact every day during this period. Because the Tianshan Child-Granny had given Ah Zhu a life and death talisman, Ah Zhu no longer takes care of her, so the Tianshan Child-Granny has been transferred to Wang Yuyan's hands.

Wang Yuyan also had a pretty good idea of her character and temper. It was impossible for someone with such a temper not to seek revenge.

Ah Zhu sighed softly and said slowly, "Yes, the revenge methods of Tianshan Tonglao should not be underestimated. It is said that she directly used a knife to slash Li Qiushui's beautiful face beyond recognition. It was horrible to watch."

"They really are worthy of being sisters, the same domineering sisters." Wang Yuyan couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Ah Zhu looked at Wang Yuyan's calm and composed appearance, as if she was watching a play in the audience, and couldn't help feeling very surprised.

Finally, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked,

"Then...then don't you hate Tianshan Tonglao? After all, she is injured..."

Wang Yuyan shook her head lightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Hate? What do I have to hate? The hatred between them has already been avenged against each other.

Even if Li Qiushui or Tianshan Tonglao still harbor resentment and want to continue their revenge, that is their personal matter. What does it have to do with me?

Why should I interfere? Let them resolve their grievances on their own."

Hearing this, Ah Zhu was a little surprised. She originally thought that Wang Yuyan would have a grudge against the Child-Grandma of Tianshan, and might even take this opportunity to deal with the Child-Grandma of Tianshan together.

But I didn't expect Wang Yuyan to be so open-minded and generous, and didn't take the disputes of the older generation to heart at all.

At this time, Ah Zhu was thinking secretly in her heart. She originally planned to persuade Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu to part ways with her, because she knew very well that the purpose of Li Qiushui's visit this time was nothing more than to settle accounts with the Tianshan Tonglao.

If Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu could leave here first, they would naturally not have to be involved in this dispute, let alone a head-on confrontation with Li Qiushui.

"Yuyan, why don't you and Duan Yu go ahead and wait for me at Xiaoyao Sect. I'll take Tianshan Tonglao with me, so maybe we can be less conspicuous?"

Wang Yuyan raised her eyes, with a look that said, "I don't know what you're thinking." "No need. There's not much difference between four people and two people. We can still take care of each other."

"But..."

"There's nothing to worry about. You said it's possible. Even if it's true, I can't give up my friends for my relatives whom I've never met."

Wang Yuyan said as she pulled Ah Zhu back, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We just need to bring Tianshan Tonglao back. We still have the stars and the sea waiting for us to conquer."

When they returned, Duan Yu was yawning and almost falling asleep, Ah Zhu said directly.

"As usual, you guys go to sleep first and we'll take turns later."

Duan Yu nodded quickly. After galloping on horseback for a whole day, she really couldn't bear it anymore.

In the following days, just as Ah Zhu had expected, when they were almost reaching the Xiaoyao Sect, Li Qiu Shui finally couldn't help but show up.

The few of them traveled very quickly along the way, and their schedule was very tight, but their efforts paid off. They finally covered most of the distance and were almost approaching the territory where the Xiaoyao Sect was located.

However, on this day, when Ah Zhu and the others felt a little relaxed as they had reached their destination, they discovered that the environment they were in was a little strange.

There was an eerie silence all around. Ah Zhu clenched her fists and whispered, "Yu Yan, there's something wrong with this atmosphere."

Wang Yuyan also nodded solemnly.

Because of their previous experience, the three of them quickly prepared for battle and waited quietly for the killers to appear.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from nearby. As the flute sounded, a group of men in black surrounded them quietly.

It was completely different from the grand appearance in the past, and Ah Zhu felt a little heavy in her heart.

As the saying goes, a biting dog doesn't bark. The quieter the action is, the more thorough the preparation is. This is because so many assassination attempts have failed.

Even if the news was spread late, Li Qiu Shui should have received information from several people.

Ah Zhu sneered, "It seems like we are going to have a fierce battle here today."

Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu smiled upon hearing this and shouted directly, "Sister Ah Zhu, I'm not afraid of a fierce battle, but I may have to prepare a few more meals of the delicious food you said you would cook for us."

Wang Yuyan also chimed in, "Who cares who she is? Let's get out first."

After Wang Yuyan gave Ah Zhu a wink, she rushed towards the man in black in front first, followed closely by Ah Zhu, and a melee began.

Despite the large number of enemies, Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu cooperated well and gradually fought their way out. However, Ah Zhu was not at peace, as she felt something was wrong.

She could feel that there was still danger, and it was a powerful threat, so Azhu didn't dare to relax at all, and Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu's vigilance was also constantly increasing.

It wasn't until that woman showed up that Ah Zhu knew the big boss was coming.
