"What happened to the Chu family..." The ghost Taoist spoke, his expression becoming a little weird.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, "You didn't threaten me before, and you couldn't get the information from the Chu family, and you would regret it sooner or later? Now you can say it, I'll listen carefully."

The ghost Taoist snorted, "I think you know this in your mind."

Yuan Qiu frowned, "What do you mean? We know almost nothing about the Chu family, what can we have? Didn't you catch Yin Jiang and ask him to take you to the Chu family to chase Su Mo?"

In order to capture Yuan Qiu, Yin Jiang asked Yin Han to take Su Mo back to the Chu family first. As a result, Yin Han lost the medicine to save Su Mo's life, and then took him back the same way and met Yuan Qiu.

However, Yin Jiang was designed by Yuan Qiu and fell into the hands of the Ghost Taoist. The reason why the Ghost Taoist went to the Chu family was because he believed that Su Mo was there and wanted to kill Su Mo to silence him and complete his promise to Ji Yang.

After Yuan Qiu found Su Mo, he asked Yin Han to take Mr. Zhou back to the Chu family with him, hoping that they could walk to the ghost Taoist and save the head of the Chu family, the particularly good person in Yin Han, who was the grandfather of Su Mo's blood relationship, so as to resist the ghost Taoist.

Because at that time, Yuan Qiu and Su Mo did not have the ability to kill the ghost Taoist, so they could only use the trick of digging the tiger away from the mountain. If the ghost Taoist was allowed to destroy the Chu family, it would be very bad to get any benefits. Therefore, the result that Yuan Qiu once hoped most was that the ghost Taoist died in the Chu family.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes.

The ghost Taoist came back alive and captured Rong Lan as a hostage to Xiliao to rescue his son.

However, the original plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain was ultimately useful. Because of the absence of the ghost Taoist and the stupidity and conceit of Ji Feng and Ji Murong and his son, Su Mo gave Su Mo a great opportunity to take them down, and there was still plenty of time to deal with the ghost Taoist who might appear.

In the end, when the ghost Taoist came back, the situation was hopeless and his son and grandson were all destroyed. He could not stop the killing situation set by Su Mo and eventually became a disabled prisoner.

The biggest mystery now is what happened to the Ghost Taoist in the past few months after he left the trap? What is the origin of the Chu family? What kind of strength does it have? Are they enemies or friends for Su Mo?

After several pulls in the middle, the ghost Taoist refused to let go, and even put forward excessive conditions at one time and threatened Su Mo more than once, giving Su Mo the impression that the Chu family was extremely dangerous.

For the sake of his great-grandson, the ghost Taoist finally changed his attitude and wanted to cooperate with Su Mo.

Su Mo directly asked him what he was most concerned about, but the answer from the Ghost Taoist made Su Mo and Yuan Qiu a little puzzled.

What does it mean? They know it?

"I thought Su Mo had only been there at the Chu family." The ghost Taoist snorted coldly, "I walked a long way to the sea and finally arrived at Xuanming Island."

Xuanming Island is a place that Yuan Qiu and Su Mo have never heard of.

"Yin Jiang took me to see the second son of the Chu family, Su Mo's second uncle." said the ghost Taoist, "That night, all the people I brought were killed, and I was poisoned, and almost couldn't escape."

Yuan Qiu looked surprised, "Poisoned? With your poisoning skills, did you not even notice it?"

The ghost Taoist said coldly, "There is nothing to say about the sky!"

Yuan Qiu frowned, "So what you mean is that there is a master of the Chu family whose poison skills are not inferior to you? And they are in the same rank as Yin Jiang, so they must be our enemy?"

"That's right!" The ghost Taoist sneered, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Be careful, the good days will come to an end soon!"

"That's all?" Su Mo asked.

"Aren't these enough?" asked the ghost Taoist.

Yuan Qiu sighed lightly, "You said nothing except letting us know that the Chu family has a poison technique master. We still don't know what the Chu family is, and we don't even know who that poison technique master is."

"I said, I almost died as soon as I arrived at the Chu family. I didn't go back after escaping. After all, I was alone and went to that mysterious family, I wouldn't even have any bones left!" The ghost Taoist snorted coldly, "That's all, I don't know the others, but..."

"What?" Su Mo asked.

"Actually, there was always a guess when I ran away." said the ghost Taoist, "The poison master who attacked me may be an old friend of mine."

Yuan Qiu looked at the ghost Taoist and heard him continue, "I live to this age and all the people with the most powerful poison skills in the world. You don't think that Xin Mei, whom I accidentally took in, is my only disciple in my life?"

Yuan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then heard the ghost Taoist snorting coldly, "What I am most proud of in my life is poison art. Being the supreme poison art is also what I have been seeking for my whole life. Before Xin Mei, I had a disciple who taught me carefully. I trusted her and taught her everything. She was also the person with the strongest talent in poison art I have seen in my life, and it was deeply loved by my heart. Who knew that after she learned all my things, she lied that she went out to collect herbs, and disappeared and never appeared again."

Yuan Qiu thought, "Is it a man or a woman?"

"Woman, about the same age as Xin Mei. When she left, she was only nineteen years old and had a very powerful poison technique. She even made a poison that took me a long time to find the antidote." The ghost Taoist said with a little resentment.

"She suddenly disappeared. Have you never looked for her again? I'm sure something happened?" Yuan Qiu asked.

The ghost Taoist sneered as soon as he heard this, "What happened? I taught her martial arts. With her strength, when she met someone when she went out, there was only the possibility that someone else would have something to do!"

"So you want to say that the person who almost poisoned you in the Chu family might be the one who taught you the apprentice who left without saying goodbye?" Yuan Qiu felt it was too coincidental, but it was not impossible.

In this world, no matter whether it is martial arts or poison skills, the number of top masters is very limited. The Ghost Taoist said that he knew the strongest poison master in the world, Yuan Qiuxin. Since the Ghost Taoist suspected that the man might be his apprentice, no matter whether it was intuition or evidence, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

"Then talk about your genius apprentice." Yuan Qiu said.

"There is nothing to say. I picked her up since I was a child. She originally made a living by stealing and had a flexible mind. She was very scheming at a young age, but she pretended to be pitiful in front of others." said the ghost Taoist.

"I thought you hate this kind of person the most." Yuan Qiu said.

The ghost Taoist said coldly, "I just hate waste. Back then, she was a child, and had no other ability, so she could only use her tricks to protect herself and seek food and clothing. It was also a skill! I just like her cleverness, because my apprentice must be smart enough! She really didn't disappoint me, and everything was in line with my wishes. I once regarded her as my biological daughter! Who knew that she was an ungrateful wolf!"

"Since you said that she knew how to survive and how to climb up since she was a child, you are probably just a stepping stone in her eyes. You can kick it away after using it without value." Yuan Qiu said. Climbing up from the bottom is extremely rational and profit-first, which is very terrifying, especially the man's strength has been recognized by the ghost Taoist. After so many years, he is afraid that he has really surpassed the ghost Taoist.

"So, I said, you just ruined me, and thought it was so profound and worry-free, and I was too happy." The ghost Taoist sneered, "Although I didn't see my disciple, if it was really her, Rong Yuanqiu, you and Xin Mei wouldn't be enough to see it! Xin Mei's talent is far worse than her senior sister! Rong Yuanqiu, you are also very talented, but unfortunately, it's less than a year since you started learning poison skills. Your strongest is medical skills, but medical skills are useless in many cases!"

"What is her name? What does she look like? What are her characteristics and habits?" Yuan Qiu asked.

The ghost Taoist said coldly, "Her name is Su Yan, and she is her own name. She has no idea who her parents are. Her surname is Su because this is the surname of the Nanzhao royal family. It can be seen that her orphan wandering on the streets is more ambiguous. As for her appearance, she is no worse than you at Rong Yuanqiu. Maybe she has been hungry and frozen since childhood. She has a habit of carrying candy with her. But now, it may not be like this."

Su Yan... Yuan Qiu remembered this name in his heart.

But apart from this speculated poison master, the ghost Taoist claimed that he had no idea about the real Chu family, and Su Mo and Yuan Qiu had no evidence to prove whether the ghost Taoist was lying.

"That's all. Rong Yuanqiu, if you don't have my husband's guidance, you can't be Su Yan's opponent." The ghost Taoist said, "You know my conditions. Find my great-grandson and bring them here. The past is written off, and I can give Rong Yuanqiu a lot, because I also hope that she can defeat Su Yan one day. If she betrays me, she must pay the price!"

"Trade." Su Mo nodded, "Think about it carefully, and then take out some valuable things. If your great-grandson really exists, I will help you find it."

Su Mo pulled Yuan Qiu and walked slowly back to Guanlan Courtyard.

Yuan Qiu sighed, "Do you think the ghost Taoist tells the truth?"

"It is possible that he has other disciples, and it is also possible that he said about Su Yan. He happened to meet his disciple who betrayed him in the Chu family and almost killed him. It is also possible." Su Mo said, "But it is also possible that he made up such a story to shock us and increase his value. Because of the existence of Su Yan in his mouth, you must keep him alive and learn poison skills with him."

"Just as I said at the beginning, we hope that the ghost Taoist will explain the matters of the Chu family, but he really said that no matter what it is, there is no way to verify the authenticity." Yuan Qiu shook his head, "But for the time being, what he said is true, letting him live to teach me poison skills is what we want. I also think that some people in the Chu family are not as powerful as those in the ghost Taoist, otherwise he would not come back alone and not even have a subordinate left."

"Do Qiu'er think Ji Murongzhen has a son who is about to turn three?" Su Mo asked.

Yuan Qiu nodded, "This is nothing impossible. Ji Murong is not as smart as the ghost Taoist. Since he said it, it is not difficult to prove this. If it is true, it is better to find his son and bring it back. If it is left outside, it will be a problem if he is raised by someone with a heart."

"Leave this matter to Acheng." Su Mo felt a little tired. After a wave of recession, he just wanted to accompany Yuan Qiu safely, not seeking power and wealth, but it was really too difficult.

"Tired?" Yuan Qiu saw the fatigue between Su Mo's eyebrows.

Su Mo smiled, "It should be said that he is annoyed. I really don't want to see those scumbags again."

"No matter what happens, we are all together, and you don't have to take it on yourself." Yuan Qiu held Su Mo's hand, "You only saved your life from the gate of hell last year, and there were only a few days after that. Many things can be left to Brother Acheng and the others, and you can stay with me at home."

Su Mo heard Yuan Qiu’s heartache for him, and his smile deepened. “Fortunately, since Qiu'er, whether it was Ansheng's day or the days of running around, it was much better than when I was alone in the past. Next, Qiu'er would have to learn poison skills from the ghost Taoist, which was even harder than me.”

"No, I like it, and there is also a fairy and handsome husband accompanying you." Yuan Qiu smiled like a flower.

Su Mo was cured instantly. With a wife like this, what else can the husband ask for?

When Su Mo and Yuan Qiu told the other members of the Rong family the news they received from the Ghost Taoist and Ji Murong, Rong Lan couldn't help but worry about whether the Chu family would come to cause trouble again.

"Have you heard of that Su Yan before?" Yuan Qiu asked.

Mrs. Xin frowned, "The Ghost Taoist has never mentioned that I had a senior sister. But when you say this, I remember that there was a room locked in the valley where the Ghost Taoist lived in seclusion for many years. Once the window was broken, I saw that it seemed like a woman had lived in. I asked, and he got angry and threw a torch into the room, burning it clean. From then on, I dared not ask anything again. Although he accepted me as his disciple, he was always quite dissatisfied with my talent. He said that if it weren't for my true filial piety, he would have driven me out of the sect long ago."

Yuan Qiu and Su Mo looked at each other.

Yuan Qiu thought that based on what Mrs. Xin said, it was almost certain that what the Ghost Taoist said about him once had a genius disciple was true. From the Ghost Taoist's current mention of Su Yan, he still gritted his teeth, it can be seen that the Ghost Taoist really put a lot of effort into the disciple, probably treating her as a daughter. Unexpectedly, Su Yan didn't say hello and left without looking back. He didn't even want to throw away the things left by Su Yan in the room he lived in. It took him a long time before burning it out in anger. Isn't my dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xin's talent because I have been comparing her with Su Yan? Su Yan's talent is the best but has no heart. Perhaps one of the reasons why the Ghost Taoist chose the truly kind and filial Mrs. Xin as his apprentice after he got the lesson.

Everything has cause and effect.

Although even the Ghost Taoist dared not assert that the poison art master he encountered in the Chu family must be Su Yan, at least it is certain that the Ghost Taoist really has an unknown disciple. If he is alive, the poison art will definitely reach its peak.

"I can only work hard for my third sister when learning poison from the ghost Taoist." Rong Yuancheng said seriously.

Yuan Qiu smiled, "It's not hard work, it's what I want."

"Leave it to me about Ji Murong's son." Rong Yuancheng took the initiative to take over the matter before Su Mo said. At the same time, he was already discussing with Rong Lan how to smoothly unify the world. The biggest contradiction seems to have been resolved, but there are actually many subsequent problems of all sizes, and they need to be handled with caution and try to avoid any more chaos.

Rong Yuancheng no longer discussed these things with Su Mo and Yuanqiu because he felt that they had paid too much and worked too hard for this family, and he didn't want them to worry about anything.

Rong Yuanfeng is now very accustomed to being Rong Yuancheng's deputy. Rong Yuancheng makes a decision and he helps with things.

As for Jun Zihuan, he is very self-aware and never gets involved in things that are beyond his reach. He will do his best when he really uses it.

That night, Jun Lingyue and the child were both asleep, and You Wu also went to bed. Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng entered the dungeon where Ji Murong was imprisoned.

Since Ji Murong came back from the Ghost Taoist during the day, she has been waiting for Su Mo to come to see him. He thought it would be soon.

If you can't feel the day and night in the dark dungeon, you will feel that the time is long and difficult.

Ji Murong was anxious and someone finally came.

However, Ji Murong was a little surprised to see the person he thought was not Su Mo, but he had seen Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng and knew their identities.

"Do you want to help that old guy find my son?" Ji Murong sat in the corner, looked up at Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng, and sneered, "Let Su Mo come over and talk to me."

Ji Murong hated Rong Yuanfeng and Rong Yuancheng, or what he didn't want to admit was that he was jealous of the brothers.

Ji Murong knew very well how he came from. His biological mother, whom he had never met before, was just a substitute and childbirth tool that Ji Ming had found with a similar appearance. Ji Murong's name also made him disgusted, as if he was just a tool that Ji Ming used to imagine his relationship with Rong Lan.

Ji Murong had no mother since childhood, and his father Ji Ming did not keep him by his side. Later, he asked him to become a disciple of Qing Jue, only caring about whether his martial arts skills have been improved, and never cares about what he wants.

Later, Ji Murong didn't care anymore. He just wanted to follow Ji Yang and take back everything he thought should belong to him, that is, the throne of the Western Liao Dynasty, and even the position of the Lord of the World.

Perhaps everyone who comes from a royal family and has great ambitions thinks that the throne should belong to them, as was Ji Fengyuan and Ji Murong.

But in the end, it's just a dream.
