The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 299 - Who was Yun Zhaochuan

Hua Qiyue broke into a big smile in Yun s.h.i.+mo’s arms, smelling his familiar herb scent. “s.h.i.+mo, are you blaming me for not telling you this?”

“No… Everyone has a secret in their hearts. Besides, whether you were reborn from another soul or not, for me, you are still you.”

Yun s.h.i.+mo smiled and said, “Tianci has suffered so much. In your previous life, you were murdered by Princess Huizhen… Why didn’t I help you back then?”

Hua Qiyue was in a trance, feeling very emotional.

Perhaps it was because of their destiny. Without destiny, people might walk by without having a chance to get to know one another.

“Right, s.h.i.+mo, have you ever heard of anyone called Yun Zhaochuan?”

Hua Qiyue’s spirits immediately rose. Since that person’s surname was also Yun, perhaps Yun s.h.i.+mo knew him. Or maybe he was his cousin.

“Yun Zhaochuan?” Yun s.h.i.+mo’s dark pupils were s.h.i.+ning, and his handsome face was a bit tight.

He shook his head. “I seem to remember something, but not that clearly. How about I go and ask my father?”

Hua Qiyue nodded her head. She could only count on him.

Yun Zhaochuan—wait for me. If you were still alive, I would cut you into a thousand pieces. I would put you to death by dismembering your body…

On one of the most inaccessible ice lands on the Tianyuan Continent.

An old man was sitting silently on a frozen lake, with a fis.h.i.+ng rod placed beside him. In his front was the ice that had been broken by him, and the water was steaming.

The old man was only wearing a thin black robe. But he seemed indifferent and comfortable about the cold weather.

Suddenly, some hearty laughter could be heard from a distance.

“Haw, haw, Xuan, how many fish have you caught? You haven’t caught any fish like previous years, have you?”

Having not even finished his sentence, a skinny old man showed up next to the man in a black robe.

His silver hair was flying in the wind, and his white robe was fluttering in the wind.

“Humph, I have caught plenty. I have just eaten them all!” snorted the old man called Xuan.

The old man in the white robe smiled. “You haven’t gone back to your Xuan Family for so long. Don’t you miss your grandson?”

“Please, I am not like you, Bai. Your grandson has grown up now, hasn’t he? Do you still have to help him change his clothes?”

The old man in a black robe squinted at him. His facial expression was very ironic.

“You mean Qianxue? He has left Spirit Heaven City now. Well, he is a big boy now. He perhaps doesn’t even remember me now. I am feeling very upset.” The old man in a white robe sat down, too. His skinny face showed a little bitterness.

The old man called Xuan touched his own arms and said, “Disgusting. You are making me have gooseb.u.mps…”

“Old man, aren’t you interested in why my grandson left home?”

“What else can it be? It’s either for a treasure or a pretty lady!” Xuan smiled and said.

Bai went over to his side and said to his ears, “Then can you guess who this pretty lady is?”

“Who she is? A pretty lady that can overthrow states and cities?”

Bai broke into a big smile. “She is your appointed granddaughter-in-law. Haw, haw, but I heard that the girl has her heart taken already. So… You must help your grandson.”

Xuan’s facial expression changed abruptly for those words. “What do you mean? Is she that girl?”

“Yes, she is. Xuan, it’s none of my business, whether my grandson likes that girl or not. But your grandson cannot lose that girl, can he? Our Bai Family never cares about affairs in the outside world. I wouldn’t have come here to inform you if you hadn’t chosen the girl. By the way, Yun s.h.i.+mo has the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead in him,” said Bai smilingly.

Xuan stood up. He was tall but a little skinny in that robe.

“Bai, if things are not like what you said, then wait for me, cause I’ll come for you!”

Xuan disappeared, not even finis.h.i.+ng his words.

Bai laughed and disappeared, too.

Only a fis.h.i.+ng rod was left there.

Three days later, the Seventh Elder and Xuanyuan Jiang returned to Xuanyuan Family and brought back the bad news. The whole family was in a chaotic and furious state. But no matter how furious they were, they could not change the reality.

So all they could do was wait, wait for Xuanyuan Wutian to come out from practice.

Xuanyuan Quan also felt strange why the Seventh Elder and Xuanyuan Jiang could make it back. But the Seventh Elder explained that Yun s.h.i.+mo let them back to deliver his message.

Xuanyuan Quan was skeptical, but the Seventh Elder was too ordinary a person to have Yun s.h.i.+mo’s approval and appreciation.

And the Seventh Elder wouldn’t betray the family. After all, their family’s resources were so abundant that no one would want to leave once they got in.

“Father, what should we do? Grandfather was so powerful, yet he was killed by Yun s.h.i.+mo… What if he comes here?”

Xuanyuan Chuyang was shocked and also wrathful. He had fallen in a sullen and grieving state once hearing the news.

“Yang’er, don’t worry. Let’s wait for our senior,” Xuanyuan Quan comforted his son and said calmly.

Yun s.h.i.+mo and Hua Qiyue’s strength was still a mystery. But according to the Seventh Elder, they knew that Yun s.h.i.+mo had advanced from the first level of Holy G.o.d to the great completeness of Great Deity.

Even the greatest genius couldn’t possibly do that. But Yun s.h.i.+mo did it.

When Xuanyuan Wutian came out, he would also be at the Great Deity level. But whether or not they would win still remained a mystery!

“Father, who is this Yun s.h.i.+mo? How could he be so powerful?” Xuanyuan Chuyang clearly did not believe in the Seventh Elder’s words.

“Could it be that the Seventh Elder has colluded with Yun s.h.i.+mo…”

“Yang’er, don’t talk nonsense! Yun s.h.i.+mo became so powerful because of the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead he got! You should know that for someone like him, the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead will make the promotion speed dozens of times faster!” exclaimed Xuanyuan Quan.

Xuanyuan Chuyang was standing there, feeling shocked. Only then did he really understand why his family had to take the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead back.

“The Purple Primordial Chaos Bead that our family robbed was just a half one. And that night was in such chaos. Our seniors were almost completely annihilated. And there was even a woman who gave birth to a baby girl in the battle. When Yun Family’s people came close, our seniors could only let that baby girl swallow the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. And after that, that baby girl had been missing for more than ten years. But when our men found her, she was already Yun s.h.i.+mo’s companion!” Xuanyuan Quan said softly.

Xuanyuan Chuyang had heard of it. But he never knew it was like that. So that was why they had to kill Yun s.h.i.+mo.

“Except for waiting for my great grandfather to come out, is there any other way?” Xuanyuan Chuyang’s tone was full of despair. For the first time since his birth, he was in such a state.

His family was one of the four ancient families on the Tianyuan Continent. Xuanyuan Chuyang had witnessed its glories.

His family had never suffered such a destructive failure. However, they had just lost their old Patriarch and a group of powerful masters. How could they not despair?

Xuanyuan Quan nodded his head in silence. He remained quiet.

Xuanyuan Chuyang clenched his fists. “Father, if I become more powerful, if I advance to the Great Deity level…”

“Forget it. People like us are not one-of-a-kind geniuses. It is impossible for us to advance to that level. You’d better wait for your great grandfather to come out.” Xuanyuan Quan shook his head. He held no hope for that.

Xuanyuan Chuyang felt discouraged.

What they could do was wait.

“Yang’er, don’t worry. I have sent someone to light the crackers so your great grandfather could detect it. He will come out soon.”

Xuanyuan Quan comforted his son. When some serious incidents happened, their family would light those crackers to make the area vibrate, so Xuanyuan Wutian could detect it and come out.

Xuanyuan Chuyang was relieved after hearing that.

Three days later, in the Xuanyuan Family’s forbidden area where there was a huge castle, the gate of the castle opened slowly.

A ray of light came out from the darkness.

When Xuanyuan Family’s people used to go there to deliver the food, they usually didn’t hear any noise. But steady footsteps could be heard at this moment. Then the sound disappeared, and no one was there.

And the door was closed slowly.

The ten remaining elders, plus Xuanyuan Quan, were waiting for someone in Xuanyuan Family’s old house.

The door of the house was open. A gust of air blew in, bringing along with it a sudden powerful force.

Xuanyuan Quan stood up in surprise. He walked out and went down on his knees. “Grandfather!”

“Old ancestor?”

Everyone was shocked. They stood up and went down on their knees. Xuanyuan Chuyang’s reaction was slower. He hadn’t heard the sound, but he felt a shadow in front of him, and then an old man with gray hair turned up in front of him.

“Great grandpa!”

Xuanyuan Chuyang screamed with excitement, his eyes full of tears. Xuanyuan Wutian and Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan looked so similar. But Xuanyuan Wutian’s eyes were sharper, and he also looked older.

The old man took a glance around indifferently and found that Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan wasn’t there, neither some other elders. Although he had been practicing in solitude for decades, he still remembered some faces.

“Where is the Patriarch?”

Xuanyuan Wutian felt the depression of the atmosphere in the room. He was confused, so he asked. He was already at the great completeness of Great Deity, so he had been practicing other powerful lethal skills.

Because the Yun Family had not been completely destroyed, and they had not taken back the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead, so he felt the need to work hard to improve his own strength.

He had planned to practice for another two years so that the lethal skill could advance to the great completeness level. But then something emergent occurred in the family.

“Grandfather… Please remain calm… My father… The patriarch, he was killed by Yun s.h.i.+mo!” Xuanyuan Quan screamed, his hands trembling.

What?

Xuanyuan Wutian’s eyes were wide open. He looked at Xuanyuan Quan incredulously.

“Heavenly Saint was killed by that young boy? Are you kidding me?”

Xuanyuan Wutian’s eyes were blazing with fury. He knew that he was only summoned out when something emergent happened, and they would not joke about that.
