Chapter 367: Chapter 387: A Clichéd Love Triangle? _1

Lin Chen’s spirits lifted, and he focused more intently.

The truth was about to be revealed!

"These three people were very powerful, especially the leader. Your father had already suffered serious injuries, and your mother couldn’t handle it alone. In a short period of time, your parents were both knocked down, severely injured, and barely breathing."

"At that time, I didn’t have time to leave. I witnessed the entire process, but those three didn’t attack me right away. They were targeting your parents."

"I overheard their conversation with your parents. That man was in love with your mother, and his family wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Feng Family. However, your mother fell in love with your father and even left her home, almost cutting off ties with her family."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, and his gaze was subtle.

A cheesy love triangle?

This man liked his mother, but his mother liked his father. Unable to win over his mother’s heart, the man harbored hatred from love and sought to ruin his mother and the man she loved?

"The man originally wanted to kill your parents and me, who was watching from the side. But then, a young woman appeared and stopped him from killing your parents."

"From the situation, it seemed that the woman and your father were old acquaintances. She wanted to take your father and mother away, but the man disagreed, and a fight broke out."

"The woman looked young, but her strength was incredible. With just a gentle touch, she severely injured the man. The two men with him attacked, but were instantly killed by the woman."

"The woman was about to attack me, but your father stopped her. Then she took your parents away."

"The man and I stayed in the mountains and forests overnight. After sunrise, I carried him out of the mountains. He didn’t kill me since I saved him, but warned me not to speak of what happened that night."

"Chu Xuankong contacted me later, wanting to know if I had caught your father and seized the Heaven Opening Jade. Although I didn’t want to take the blame, I dared not speak the truth and had to let Chu Xuankong misunderstand."

Lin Chen asked in a deep voice, "Who is that man, and who is the person who took away my parents?"

Gao Zhengqiu replied, "His name is Xi Shan, a disciple of the Five Dragon Sect."

Lin Chen pursued, "Is he the one who likes my mother?"

"No."

Gao Zhengqiu replied, "The one who likes your mother is Guo Tang, the current Sect Master of the Five Dragon Sect. Xi Shan was ordered by Guo Tang to hunt down and kill your parents."

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "He is quite impressive, having become the Sect Master."

Gao Zhengqiu replied, "Guo Tang is a well-known cultivation genius. He became a Grandmaster at the age of 25, a Great Grandmaster at 33, and an Innate Grandmaster at 44. Because of his outstanding talent, he took over the Five Dragon Sect in his forties and had great prestige in the entire sect."

Lin Chen said coldly, "Indeed, very impressive. Such geniuses are naturally proud. Perhaps he felt humiliated when my mother rejected him, so he wanted to ruin my parents and kill me, the child he hates."

Gao Zhengqiu nodded, "It should be. I don’t know what he was thinking, and I’ve never met him."

Lin Chen asked, "Now that you’ve told me the truth in such detail, aren’t you afraid of their reprisal?"

Gao Zhengqiu calmly replied, "After meeting you during the day, my first reaction was fear. If I couldn’t tell the truth, you would definitely kill me. If I did, they might come after me as well. That’s why I ran away immediately. After leaving, I called Xi Shan, and he told me to tell you the truth."

Lin Chen’s eyes were cold, "Why would he want you to tell me the truth?"

Gao Zhengqiu explained, "His orders back then were to kill your father and you and bring your mother back. But your parents were saved by someone, and your whereabouts were unknown, so he basically failed the mission. As a result, he was punished when he returned, supposedly suffering for ten years, but I don’t know the specifics."

Lin Chen pondered, "So, he resents me?"

Gao Zhengqiu nodded, "Probably. He told me to tell you the truth and said if you want to get revenge for your parents, go find him. He wants to make up for his negligence in the past."

"Make up for negligence? By killing me?"

Lin Chen sneered, "He is quite bold. Since he has put it that way, I will eventually go to find him... What happened to my parents afterward? And who is that woman?"

Gao Zhengqiu shook his head, "Since then, there has been no news of your parents. However, looking at the situation at that time, the woman didn’t seem to be trying to kill your parents, so I think they should still be alive."

"I don’t know the background of the woman, but she acted arrogantly and was very powerful. Xi Shan was severely injured by her gentle touch. Well, the way she looked at us was like looking at ants, but her eyes were different when she looked at your father. I even suspected that she might like your father..."
