Chapter 188 The Truth
Although it was dark inside Wanjian Villa, the lights were still on.
In the secret room, Ye Xu sat cross-legged on the stone bed, circulating his true energy throughout his body, and felt as if his meridians were burning.
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead, and the extreme pain made his body tremble.
After completing one cycle of circulation, he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. Although his body was hot, a crazy smile appeared on his face.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm.
There is a white spot the size of a fingernail on the palm of the left hand, while the palm of the right hand is black.
Seeing these two marks, he was extremely excited.
"I did it, I finally did it." Ye Xu said excitedly.
Just then, the door of the secret room opened with a heavy sound.
His eyes immediately became alert, and he secretly gathered strength in his hands.
The stone door opened and a man in a black robe appeared.
He was wearing a mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but when Ye Xu saw this outfit, he stopped his attack.
"What are you doing?" Although Ye Xu withdrew his attack, his tone was still filled with a hint of impatience.
The black-robed man sensed his attitude, but didn't mind. Instead, he stared at Ye Xu for a while and said, "It seems that Alliance Leader Ye has already achieved great success in his magical powers."
"Just say what you want to say." Ye Xu frowned.
The black-robed man said, "Of course I'll tell you straight away. After all, there's no need for pleasantries between us. Qingling and the others have already entered the city."
When Ye Xu heard the last sentence, he sneered and said, "Then it's really a coincidence that they came. It's just right, so I don't have to go looking for them."
The man in black robe stared at Ye Xu for a while and said, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Xu said: "Catching a turtle in a jar."
"You seem very confident in yourself now, but do you know that Fu Zhenghong and Qingling have formed an alliance?" said the man in black robe.
Ye Xu said, "That's why I said it's just right, so I don't have to look for them one by one."
"Did you do this on purpose?" The man in black robe seemed to finally realize something was wrong.
Ye Xu said, "No, I am just following fate."
"Destiny? You still believe in this?" The man in black robe spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
Ye Xu said, "You don't believe it, it's just that you haven't encountered it."
The black-robed man swayed a little, as if he was persuaded.
But soon, the trance in his eyes faded away, and he looked at Ye Xu and said, "I really didn't expect it."
Ye Xu himself didn't expect this, he raised his hand again and looked at his palm.
He put it down again and looked at the man in black robe: "If there is nothing else, please leave."
The black-robed man asked, "One more thing. Where did your current skills come from?"
When Ye Xu heard this question, his reaction was different from before. A murderous look flashed across his eyes.
He said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You just need to remember that I will do what I promised you."
Seeing his attitude, the black-robed man sneered, "Of course I remember it clearly, but I don't want the previous situation to happen again."
At this time, some impatience appeared in Ye Xu's eyes.
Before he could open his mouth to drive the man away, the man in black robe turned around and left after saying that.
The secret room returned to silence again, with only Ye Xu there.
Ye Xu stared at the stone gate with a gloomy expression.

Late at night, the streets were empty. A girl dressed in green, wearing a veil and holding a sword, was walking alone on the street.
The night wind blew, lifting the hem of her skirt, but the girl was not moved at all. She stopped in front of an inn, looked up and saw the inn's plaque "Pushe"!
She walked to the door and knocked three times.
The guy on duty inside the door heard the noise and creaked open the door a crack.
The waiter looked at the woman in green outside the door and said, "Miss, it's so late, are you going to stay in the hotel?"
The girl in green pulled out a silver ingot from her bosom, threw it directly to the waiter, and said, "I'm looking for someone."
The waiter received the tip, and his sleepiness instantly disappeared. A smile instantly appeared on his face: "Sir, did you make an appointment with someone?"
He did not let the person in immediately, but asked further questions.
The woman in green said, "Your Tianzi and Dingzi rooms."
When the waiter heard this, he immediately said, "So you're Mr. Fu's guest. Mr. Fu had told you to come before, but he didn't expect you to be so late."
The waiter said as he quietly opened the door: "Please come in, please come in."
The woman in green entered the inn, and the waiter closed the door again before saying to her, "I'll take you upstairs. It's on the third floor."
The woman followed the waiter upstairs. The waiter took her to a door and smiled at her.
Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door, and there was a response from inside.
The waiter said, "Mr. Fu, the guest you are waiting for has arrived."
After a while, the door in front opened.
Fu Zhenghong appeared at the door. He looked at the woman standing there, then at the waiter and said, "Thank you for showing me the way." He then took out some small change and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter took it, his face almost smiling, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he pushed it down with great tact.
The waiter disappeared around the corner. Fu Zhenghong turned sideways and said to the woman, "Junior sister, come in first and we'll talk."
The woman hesitated for a moment and walked into the room.
After entering the room, she looked at the group of people sitting or standing at the square table next to her.
"This is what you want to tell me, brother?" the woman said as she took off her veil.
Fu Zhenghong closed the door with his backhand, looked at Ye Xuan, and said with a complicated expression: "Xiao Xuan..." He had just said two words when Ye Xuan turned her head and met his gaze.
He didn't know how to continue speaking.
Ye Xuan's eyes also contained too many emotions.
She looked Fu Zhenghong up and down, and finally said, "Brother, congratulations, you finally got what you wanted."
At this moment, facing Ye Xuan's gaze, Fu Zhenghong felt a surge of confusion, guilt, and worry in his heart.
At the beginning, he used Ye Xuan in order to escape Ye Xu's surveillance.
At this moment, the junior sister must hate him in her heart, but she still came to the appointment, probably to wait for his explanation.
However, he had endured such a huge emotional upheaval when he accepted the truth, so he wasn't sure if Ye Xuan would have a mental breakdown after learning the truth. After all, that was her biological father.
Ye Xuan lost her mother at a young age and has a unique feeling for her father.
"Junior sister," Fu Zhenghong called out.
Ye Xuan interrupted him immediately: "Brother, no, you should call me Hero Fu. From the moment you decided to leave Wanjian Villa, you are no longer a disciple of the villa."
Fu Zhenghong clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and there was suppressed forbearance in his eyes.
But in the end, he decided to tell Ye Xuan the truth. No matter whether she could accept it or not, this was the truth she had to know.
"Junior Sister, Master is no longer the same Master he once was. He has cultivated a demonic skill that allows him to absorb the inner strength and energy of others. Recently, the leaders of various sects have been attacked one after another. It wasn't the work of the Demon Cult, but... it was Master..."
"Shut up!" Ye Xuan drew out her sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Fu Zhenghong. Her face was filled with anger and resentment.
