Chapter 787: Chapter 35: When the False becomes True, the True also becomes False [Vote for monthly pass!]_1

At the sound of the word "mother", both of them were stunned.

Chu Liang, pretending to be unconscious under the bed, covertly watched the actions of the newly arrived false monarch. When he heard that the false monarch had summoned Xue Lingxue, he felt a bit pleased, as the man was doing exactly what he wanted to carry out.

If the false Xue Lingxue could be summoned directly, it would save him a bit of trouble. Therefore, he quietly lay under the bed, waiting for the arrival of the false Xue Lingxue. Beside him, being in the company of the false monarch and Li Fei, he didn’t feel alone.

After a short wait, Xue Lingxue arrived quickly.

Originally, Chu Liang thought it was a fake Xue Lingxue, and he was pondering whether he should step forward to capture her. But when he suddenly heard her mention the "Song of Rejuvenation", he immediately felt something was amiss.

This question was somewhat abrupt.

But if you consider from the logic of the real Xue Lingxue and suspect that the false monarch was herself, it was quite reasonable.

Was this the real Xue Lingxue who came?

By this moment, Chu Liang was considering whether to go out and sincerely reveal his identity, directly recognizing his ally.

However, at this moment, the words "dear mother" uttered by the false monarch made both Xue Lingxue and Chu Liang freeze on the spot.

What plot development did they miss?

Chu Liang was somewhat nervous; if this Xue Lingxue was real, he hoped that she wouldn’t reveal him. On the other hand, he also had some doubts; couldn’t it be that they were really mother and son?

Fortunately, Xue Lingxue was clever enough. She suddenly stood up at the words, retreating two steps and pretending to be surprised, "Is it you?"

No matter who it is.

Just "Is it you?" is correct.

"It’s me, you didn’t expect it, did you?" The false monarch also stood up, looking slightly excited, "Jing Wuya locked me up and wouldn’t let me see you. But he didn’t expect that I could secretly escape and even steal his Treasure Mirror of Retention. Mother, we can’t help the wicked anymore!"

"You stole the Treasure Mirror of Retention?" Xue Lingxue was genuinely surprised this time.

It seemed that the other party was very close to Jing Wuya, and had the intention to turn from darkness to light?

"That’s right." The false monarch said, "If it wasn’t for this treasure, I wouldn’t have been able to see you. Mother, you should stop thinking about the past affairs of Nanyin Square. Wouldn’t it be nice if we find some place to live quietly and cultivate in the future? Or we can find a bustling city in the Yu Dynasty where you can play the zither, and I can dance. We can live well this way, why must we live with hatred?"

Having organized the information in these words, Xue Lingxue felt her heart thumping. It seemed that she was almost at the truth of this investigation.

Staring into the false monarch’s eyes, and pretending to be angry, she said, "I am on the verge of achieving my goal, and your appearance at this time is obviously a sign of hostility. From now on, I will not recognize you as my child, and you should not call me mother."

"Then what should I call you?" The false monarch was also angry at her words, "Liao Yuxian? Be realistic! Even if you help them seize control of Fuyao Country, there’s absolutely no chance that you’ll get back the position of Nanyin Square Master! I’ve heard a long time ago that the Demonic Mars people are all troublemakers, how can you believe their promises?"

Liao Yuxian...

Hearing this name, Xue Lingxue felt a jolt in her heart and a sense of clarity added to her realization.

So, it was her.

Just as she had heard the name and was about to leave, a shadow suddenly shot out from under the bed, calling out, "Is that you, Dragon Dance Lady?"

The figure looked exactly like Han Lingshou, but his demeanor was completely different. Upon seeing him, Xue Lingxue also asked aloud, "Is that you, Chu Liang?"

...

A moment later, the three in the room sat down again.

"So you’re Warrior Chu..." The false monarch looked at Chu Liang and gave a bitter smile, "And I was planning to knock you out with poison."

"The one you wanted to knock out has been lying there for quite some time." Chu Liang pointed under the bed.

There were three Han Lingshous gathered in this one small room, their faces were enough to confuse anyone.

"I am the Dragon Dance Lady." The false monarch sighed, "I came here to find my mother."

"Liao Yuxian, is a predecessor of our Nanyin Square..." Xue Lingxue slowly said.

Chu Liang looked to her with a hint of curiosity.

Xue Lingxue then told him about Liao Yuxian, who turned out to be a rising star who was a bit younger than the current Master of Nanyin Square.

When the Nanyin Square selected a new master, they both had great hopes. However, since the current master had achieved fame earlier and was more experienced, she was elected. On the other hand, Liao Yuxian, in a fit of anger, left Nanyin Square and vanished.

If measured by her musical skill and cultivation, she could easily impersonate Xue Lingxue. Even the musical scores Xue Lingxue was currently practicing were largely improved and created by her in the first place.

"No." Dragon Dance Lady suddenly shook her head: "My mother was not defeated by competition, but by sinister means."

In her narration, Liao Yuxian was the most exceptional of talents in Nanyin Square in a hundred years, and the year she ran for the position of Square Master, her chances were very promising.

But at that time, rumors began to circulate, saying that she had involved with the Demon Sect.

At the height of Liao Yuxian’s career, such rumors led her to be defeated in the election of the Square Master, naturally outraged, she was bent on taking revenge.

Afterward, she traveled all the way to Fuyao Country and there she met the Demonic Mars people. They promised to help her take back Nanyin Square, but in return, asked her to help them usurp the throne of Fuyao Country.

The person who was cooperating with her here was Jing Wuya.

Liao Yuxian spent years traveling abroad, so she left her daughter in Yu Bo Mansion under the care of Jing Wuya, who adopted her as his goddaughter, making her work for him. The so-called "Jing Yue" should have been called "Liao Jingyue".

Until Dragon Dance Lady met Hu Sanlang, the desire to leave this place arose in her heart. She didn’t want to live her life burdened by her mother’s regrets and grudges.

The reason why Hu Sanlang believed that it was Dragon Dance Lady impersonating Xue Lingxue was that Dragon Dance Lady looked similar to her mother, and he had never had the opportunity to get a close look.

And this time he went to rob Dragon Dance Lady, it also became the key reason for her to make up her mind, she didn’t want to help with evil deeds anymore.

But the reason why Jing Wuya kept her was not only to take care of Liao Yuxian’s child on her behalf, but also as a threat. So, after noticing her betrayal, Jing Wuya immediately confined her, not giving her a chance to see her mother again.

But little did he know, Dragon Dance Lady had figured out the way in and out of Yu Bo Mansion, she not only secretly fled but also stole Jing Wuya’s most important Treasure Mirror of Retention.

After thinking it through, she came to the palace and summoned Xue Lingxue in the name of the monarch, which was the most likely way to see her mother. With this status, it was more suitable for her to give orders and arrest General Yu Bo.

But she didn’t expect that after she sneaked into the palace, a true Xue Lingxue whom she thought would be an impostor appeared.

Dragon Dance Lady looked at Xue Lingxue and gave a wry smile: "I didn’t expect you to be the fake one."

Xue Lingxue corrected in a low voice: "I’m the real one."

Chu Liang also sighed, when you wish for something fake, but what comes is the real, so this one also might not necessarily be fake.

Thinking for a while, he said: "If Dragon Dance Lady wants to defeat Jing Wuya, and to bring back brightness and clarity to Fuyao Country, we can work together."

Dragon Dance Lady looked at the couple with slightly hesitating.

Xue Lingxue said: "Hu Sanlang is waiting outside. We can let him in to talk to you."

"No need for now. It’s too dangerous here. I don’t want to implicate him." Dragon Dance Lady refused, but said: "But I trust you and am willing to work with you."

Just as Chu Liang was about to discuss the needed strategies with her, a sudden report came from outside, "Your Majesty, General Yu Bo asks for an audience!"

How is that old fox here again?

Did he hear that we are plotting to get rid of him?

Chu Liang helplessly pointed under the bed, "Le ladies, to avoid startling the snake, I have to ask you to hide for now."

Fortunately, Han Lingshou’s weirdly large bed was roomy enough.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t really fit this many people.

...

"Achoo!"

Inside the yard, Han Lingshou sneezed loudly.

"Old brother Han, you’d better put on some clothes, don’t catch a cold." Lin Bei advised from the side.

"No problem, you won’t see the essence of Turtle Shell Binding if I don’t take off my clothes." Han Lingshou, bare-chested, was giving Lin Bei a scholarly explanation.

Lin Bei agreed, "It’s indeed a fortunate thing in life to have Old Brother Han teaching like this."

"Hehe, I also think I found a bosom friend in Brother Lin Bei!" Han Lingshou replied.

"Hey hey hey!" Lin Beilang laughed out loud: "We’re just brothers!"
