From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 624: 329 Young Master (Second Update)_3

Shou Chang finally regained his voice after a while: “Are you serious about overthrowing Ran Tengxiao? Have you gone mad? He’s not as weak as Ran Yang.”

Ran Yang was nothing to begin with, but who would have thought that his son turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

“Back then, Ran Boxue and Ran Bocai seized power during the chaos. They were just a group of traitors. The real master of the Qinglong Association has always been Master Wen, and only his descendants are qualified to inherit the association.”

“Enough talk, do you know the whereabouts of the mother and daughter? Tell me quickly!”

“Tell you so that you can curry favor and let Ran Tengxiao silence them?”

Shou Chang choked: “You are just one person – how can you fight against Ran Tengxiao? Stop your wishful thinking, we must face reality.”

“Ha, what a joke. With the young master holding the Qinglong Order, there is no need to fear someone like Ran Tengxiao!” This tone was full of arrogance.

Shou Chang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, “Qing…Qinglong Order? It’s really true?”

There had always been a legend about the Order within the Qinglong Association, but no one had ever taken it seriously. Turns out it was true.

“Master Wen, a generation of heroes, had long foreseen such a day and made preparations. The Qinglong Order is a lifesaving charm left to the young master.”

Shou Chang hesitated, then asked, “Is the Qinglong Order really that powerful? Can it withstand the force of Ran Tengxiao?”

“What’s Ran Tengxiao in comparison? How can he be mentioned in the same breath as the young master?”

Shou Chang quickly asked, “Then why hasn’t the young master appeared all these years?”

“The time has not come yet.”

“Where is the young master now?”

Shou Chang’s blood boiled, “The young master carries Master Wen’s bloodline and should inherit the Qinglong Association. I am willing to assist the young master, overthrow the treacherous Ran Bowen, and revitalize our Qinglong Association!”

After a long silence, Shou Chang looked up and suddenly met a pair of deep eyes filled with scrutiny and ridicule.

“Uncle Shou Chang, back then, you and Lu Chang conspired against my father. How could I trust a man who betrayed his own brother for personal gain?”

“Xi Yu, I… I really had no choice back then. Lu Chang threatened me with your sister-in-law. If I didn’t agree, he would have someone defile her. All these years my conscience has been bothering me, and now it’s time to atone. Master Wen’s kindness to me was as heavy as a mountain, but I failed to protect him and let him fall victim to Yu Jiang’s schemes. Now that I know there’s still a trace of Master Wen’s bloodline left in the world, I will protect the young master with my life if necessary.”

“Xi Yu, please give your uncle a chance to atone.”

“Master Wen had so many enemies while he was alive that, for the sake of the young master’s safety, she had to be hidden away and raised by ordinary people. However, after Master Wen’s death, the couple had their own child and treated the young master like a hot potato…”

Shou Chang was furious, “This couple is despicable! What happened to the young master later?”

Instead of answering, the other person asked, “Is it true that everyone thinks my father betrayed Master Wen?”

Shou Chang cursed, “It’s all Yu Jiang’s doing, driving a wedge between people. Why didn’t she target my relationship with Lu Chang? It’s because Master Wen trusted your father the most.”

Shou Chang suddenly felt colder and couldn’t help rubbing his arms, but he didn’t notice the other person’s cold, hungry eyes.

“That’s right, because my father was the only one besides Master Wen who knew about the young master’s existence. After my father’s death, he left me a will, urging me to assist the young master. When I found the young master…”

Shou Chang stared intently at her, but the conversation suddenly ended, “What happened? Keep going!”

The suspense was killing him.

“Today, I came to find you so you can tell Ran Bowen the whereabouts of the young master.”

Shou Chang was stunned, “Weren’t you afraid that I would tell Ran Bowen just now?”

“When you say it yourself instead of going behind my back, it’s completely different. With the Qinglong Order in the young master’s possession, would we be afraid of Ran Bowen? All he can do is respectfully welcome the young master back.”

Shou Chang couldn’t wait to ask, “Who exactly is the young master, and where is he now?”

“In Siji Town, at the foot of Baitou Mountain, look for an old woman named Yang Chunhua.”

With these words, the young man leaped onto the wall and disappeared into the night.

Shou Chang stood there, deep in thought for a while before suddenly realizing.

Providing him with clues and letting him investigate on his own would be more convincing than directly telling him the results.

Zheng Qing moved through the night, tearing off the fake mask on his face.

Ming Jing, what are you trying to do?

There was a long silence in the study.

Ye Jian’s forehead was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat, and he hurriedly wiped it away.

He could almost sense the impending storm of bloodshed.

The Qinglong Association was on the verge of a drastic change.
