Taishang Xuanji’s residence.
Looking at Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who were walking over, Su Changyu felt that his bad habit was about to act up again.
He stayed silent.
He tried his best not to speak.
However, as Taishang Xuanji gradually walked over, Su Changyu finally couldn’t help it.
“I understand.”
Ye Ping spoke with an indifferent voice.
Su Changyu did not turn around. Instead, he stood under the peach blossom tree and seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery as he left Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to stare at his back.
At this moment, the peach blossom tree shook and the leaves rustled while the peach blossoms scattered all over the sky. The scene was incredibly beautiful.
However, everything seemed to have become lackluster in comparison to Su Changyu who made the beautiful scenery seem dull.
Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had just walked into the garden, were somewhat confused.
‘He knows everything?’
‘What does he know? Does Changyu know that he’s the Tenth Prince?’
They thought of the information they had received earlier and wondered if Su Changyu had found out about his identity during his time in the Great Qian Dynasty.
That was very possible.
However, if that was the case, why did Su Changyu say that he was the illegitimate son of Taishang Xuanji?
In an instant, the two of them guessed that Su Changyu must have been unable to enter the palace to look for the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty since he had the token that Taishang Xuanji had given him back then.
He thought that Taishang Xuanji would definitely report to him when the time came.
After guessing the process of the entire matter, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to speak, but he was at a loss for what to say.
He had initially already decided not to hide and tell Su Changyu about it, but the fact that Su Changyu said that he had already known about it left him at a loss for words.
Su Changyu was a little confused too as his bad habit that acted up all of a sudden messed up everything that he wanted to say.
However, there was nothing wrong with that.
Daoist Tai Hua had already analyzed it with him and they had both established the fact that he was an illegitimate son who was abandoned by his father, Old Xuan, who also left his mother for the sake of pursuing glory and riches.
He rephrased his words and said that he wanted to sever ties with his father.
“I understand your reasons for doing so, but I can’t accept the fact that you’ve abandoned your wife and child.”
“Tell me where my mother is and we’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on.”
Su Changyu turned around and looked at Taishang Xuanji with a calm gaze.
He was staring at Taishang Xuanji with his starry-like eyes, as if he had seen through him.
Taishang Xuanji was dumbstruck.
‘Abandoned my wife and child? Your mother’s whereabouts? We’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on? What are you talking about?’
‘Why don’t I understand what you’re talking about?’
‘Besides, why are you looking at me?’
Taishang Xuanji was a little upset.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was just as stunned as his expression was sullen.
‘What’s going on?’
‘When did I abandon my wife and son?’
‘You’re slandering me!’
Su Changyu came from the Great Qian Dynasty and had learned all about it.
‘Yes, that must be it.’
‘The royals of the Great Qian Dynasty must have met Changyu and recognized him to be the Tenth Prince, the nephew of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. They must have told him all about this.’
‘However, they didn’t tell Su Changyu the truth because of those things they had done. Instead, they twisted the facts to accuse me and make Changyu sever ties with me.’
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was furious but perplexed too.
At this moment, Ye Ping did not say anything and stood quietly at the side.
Before coming, Su Changyu had told him that his father had abandoned him and his mother out of his greed for wealth and glory.
Hence, he was there to make a clean break.
Since Su Changyu was his Senior Brother, he would naturally support him and his decisions.
Taishang Xuanji also knew that Su Changyu must have gotten the wrong idea about something.
Su Changyu even had a double misunderstanding about him. Not only did he think that he was his father, but he also thought that he had abandoned his wife and son.
That made him very embarrassed.
He didn’t say anything as he was waiting to see what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had to say.
When the latter saw the gaze cast by Taishang Xuanji, he naturally understood what it meant. He smiled bitterly and gestured for Taishang Xuanji to hurry up and explain.
At this point, he really didn’t know how to explain it.
He might be the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, he really didn’t know how to talk to Su Changyu about it.
Especially since there were still so many misunderstandings now, he didn’t know how he should start explaining.
Taishang Xuanji was rather upset.
‘Weren’t you very firm just now? Why are you making me do it now?’
However, Taishang Xuanji had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Su Changyu.
“Changyu, there might be some misunderstanding in this.”
“I didn’t abandon my wife and son. Besides, I’m not your biological father. Your father is my master.”
Taishang Xuanji said while looking at Su Changyu.
Hearing his words, Ye Ping, who was at the side, secretly nodded.
Back then, Su Changyu told him that either Old Xia or Old Xuan was his biological father and Ye Ping immediately felt that it was Old Xia.
It was because Su Changyu looked nothing like Taishang Xuanji, but he resembled the emperor a little.
At that time, he was shocked when Su Changyu told him that his father was Taishang Xuanji.
‘Seems like Senior Brother really got mixed up between Old Xia and Old Xuan, but it’s good that the misunderstanding has been cleared.’
He did not say anything and simply stood at the side quietly.
Su Changyu looked at Taishang Xuanji with an indifferent expression, but he was feeling a little nervous.
After all, he was about to face his biological father.
However, when he heard Taishang Xuanji’s words, he was instantly displeased and stopped feeling nervous.
Su Changyu’s thoughts were simple.
‘What a lousy father I’ve got, he doesn’t have the guts to own up at all.’
‘No wonder he abandoned Mother and I for the sake of wealth back then.’
‘Things have already come to this and I’ve already appeared in front of him and made things so clear. Yet, he still wants to shirk responsibility and push the blame to Old Xia by claiming that Old Xia is my father.’
‘Absolutely ridiculous.’
“Are you that irresponsible? Why must you push the blame to Old Xia?”
“I know, I might be making things hard for you, but things have already come to this and I have nothing else to say. I just want you to tell me where my mother is.”
Su Changyu said.
His expression was indifferent.
Hearing Su Changyu’s words, Taishang Xuanji was a little awkward and speechless.
He didn’t know how to explain it.
It was all the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s fault for making him give those gifts to Su Changyu in his name, causing Su Changyu to misunderstand and take Taishang Xuanji for his father instead. Now, he was at a loss for an explanation.
Seeing this scene, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was at the side, couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
However, he took a deep breath and flicked a beam of golden light towards Su Changyu.
The golden light entered Su Changyu’s forehead.
Before Su Changyu could react in time, several memories immediately surfaced in his mind.
The palace.
The hall.
Old Xia’s face.
And… a woman’s face.
Those were the memories in Su Changyu that were once sealed and now restored by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Looking at those memories, Su Changyu stood rooted to the ground in shock.
‘Huh?’
“Ah… this!”
Su Changyu was dumbfounded.
‘I didn’t expect that I had gotten the wrong idea.’
This!
‘Old Xia is my father?’
‘What’s going on?’
