C713 713 Master's Story

After a moment of silence, Liu Ruo Qing once again looked at Liu Qian Xun, and using a voice as calm as possible, she asked, "Master, do you know of my origins?"

Liu Qian Xun shook his head, suddenly, he got up and took out a jade pendant from one of the secret compartments and placed it in front of Liu Ruo Qing, "This jade pendant was given to me along with you back then, maybe there will be some clues on this pendant that will allow you to find out your origins."

Liu Ruo Qing lowered her head, and slowly extended his hand to receive the jade pendant that Liu Qian Xun had given her. This jade pendant, looked as if it had been split into two with her bare hands, with two words written on it, "Jiang".

She read one of the words, and the other one was broken in half. She didn't know what it was, but it looked like the left side of the word 'door'.

She gripped the jade pendant tightly and did not say anything.

This time, she wanted to find out the relationship between him and the Shen Ji Hall from her master, but she didn't expect that she would know the truth.

She had never tried to find out about her background, and she had always felt that in the twenty-first century, as a parent, no one had reason to abandon their children.

Therefore, she had never cared about her parents or her past.

But now, her master had told her that she was someone from this era. It was very likely that she was a daughter from a high school, and her parents had been hunted to death by their enemies, which was why they were adopted by her master.

This fact caused Liu Ruo Qing to be unable to recover her strength for a long while.

"Little Qing."

Liu Qian Xun's low and hoarse voice broke her silence.

Liu Ruo Qing looked up to see that the old man was looking at him with a serious expression, his eyes filled with a vicissitudes of life, "You and I are already enemies now, Master will not force you to stand by my side. Take this jade pendant and leave, from now on, I am not your master, and you are no longer my disciple.

Hearing Liu Qian Xun's decisive words, Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up, his eyes heated up. This old man whom she had treated like a father, was going to break all ties with her, how could she not feel sad?

"Master …"

Her voice was choked with sobs as tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Liu Qian Xun in distress, "Master, please stop, okay? Now that no one knows your identity, Yan Yuan has promised me that he won't kill you. Master, I beg of you."

She knelt down in front of Liu Qian Xun, and pulled at the hem of his robe, "Master, Qing Er begs you, Qing Er does not want to be separated from you."

Liu Qian Xun's eyes turned slightly red, although his face had not relaxed at all, he raised his head, not wanting to let anyone see the pain in his eyes.

He gently patted Liu Ruo Qing's head, and said with a calm tone: "Girl, since Master has come to this step, she will not turn back. Go back to Yan Yuan's side, this is a matter between Master and Yan Yuan, don't interfere."

"Master …"

Liu Qian Xun's line of sight was blurred with tears. He looked at the woman who was hung on the painting in front of him, his eyes filled with pain and longing. "Little girl, do you want to know about the matter between Master and Queen Jing?"

Liu Ruo Qing raised her head from his embrace and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She remained kneeling and did not stand up, but Liu Qian Xun did not force him to stand up, she only sat down at the side, looked at the woman painted on the painting and said: "She is the direct daughter of Mansion of the State, my father is a noble son of a noble family, but she gave birth to me when she was outside. My father's family did not want to accept my mother, and in the end, they forced both of my parents to their deaths.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Liu Qian Xun as she recalled his past. From her initial anger to her face filled with gratitude, she pursed her lips and said, "Wife of the Crown is Empress Jing's mother?"

Liu Qian Xun nodded. When he heard her talk about Queen Jing, his gaze immediately softened, "At that time, Yu'er was only five years old, and was a little girl with a ponytail."

Yu'er? Queen Jing's name?

Eh? No, my master is ten years old, and Queen Jing is five years old?

Impossible, they were clearly thirty years behind, right?

Liu Qian Xun saw the astonishment in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes and said. "Actually, I'm not even sixty."

Liu Ruo Qing opened her eyes wide once again, and this sentence, once again refreshed her understanding of things.

She had always thought that her master was already eighty years old.

When she thought of this, she realized that she had never seen her master's ID card before. The only thing her master told her was that he was a dragon, but he was still in his 80s and 50s.

Looking at her master's face, it was indeed less than eighty years old. She had always thought that her master was younger than an old man of seven or eight years old, due to the fact that he was practicing martial arts.

Ever since she could remember, her Master had a head full of white hair, which made her believe that her Master was already 80 years old.

Liu Qian Xun pointed to his white hair, a look of sadness flashing past his eyes, "After she got married, my hair turned white."

Liu Ruo Qing did not make a sound, and her heart suddenly became heavy.

When a lover marries, the knot cannot be dispelled, so a night of white hair?

It was hard for her to imagine how much pain her master must have suffered at that time for her to die from Empress Jing's marriage overnight.

Perhaps it was because he thought back to when he was with Queen Jing that Liu Ruo Qing realized that her master was much more gentle and beautiful than when she was with her.

"When I woke up in Mansion of the State, she was by my side. Her eyes were big and bright, looking at me with curiosity."

The corner of Liu Qian Xun's lips held a gentle smile. In a trance, Liu Ruo Qing saw a young man, who seemed to be recalling the beauty of her first love.

"I stayed in Mansion of the State just like that. Everyone in Mansion of the State was good, I lived here for ten years, and during this period …"

Liu Qian Xun smiled, but his expression was still very gentle. He did not elaborate how to get along with Empress Jing, but he could tell that those days were definitely the brightest and happiest moments of his life.

"As the direct daughter of the Mansion of the State, she was summoned to the palace when she reached the age of trial marriage to select consort for the princes and princes."

When he said till here, the smile on Liu Qian Xun's face had already disappeared.

Liu Ruoxi didn't like this kind of marriage either. Women were like commodities to those people, ready to sell at price.

However, this was an era where power reigned supreme and men reigned supreme. Even if they felt discontent in their hearts, what could they do?
