Chapter 505: Chapter 525: This Scenario Seems Familiar, Running Away from Home to Escape a Marriage? _1

Twenty-seven years!

Lin Chen suddenly felt a jolt of energy. Could it be just a coincidence?

Lin Chen asked, "What happened?"

Gu Lie thought for a moment, then carefully explained, "Twenty-seven years ago, I wasn’t the Sect Master of the Tiemu Sect yet, just a Grandmaster with Elder status. One day, a beautiful young woman suddenly appeared in our sect. She looked like a fairy..."

As Gu Lie spoke, he subconsciously paused and glanced outside, as if worried that the young woman he mentioned would appear before him in the next second.

Zhao Jian, who was sitting beside him, also had an uneasy expression on his face, with a faint trace of fear in his eyes.

Lin Chen noticed Zhao Jian’s expression: "You know about this too?"

Zhao Jian replied softly, "I was an Elder in the sect at the time as well."

Lin Chen turned to Gu Lie: "Continue."

Gu Lie gave a bitter smile: "Actually, it’s quite simple. This fairy-like woman came to us to ask for help in finding a man. At the time, many people were watching, and maybe because she was so beautiful, one of the Elders teased her, saying that she was trying to find her runaway lover..."

"Who would have thought that the woman would suddenly turn against him and slap the Elder to death on the spot? Naturally, the Sect Master and others were furious and started attacking her. However, the woman’s strength was terrifying, and within a blink of an eye, she had killed everyone who attacked her, including the Sect Master!"

Gu Lie’s eyes still held a lingering fear, showing that even after twenty-seven years, the incident was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"At the time, I was terrified and immediately asked who she was looking for, promising to help her find him. Maybe she thought she still needed someone to help her, so she didn’t kill anyone else. She said that she came from Kunlun Mountain and that we should do as she said if we wanted to live, or else she wouldn’t hesitate to kill everyone in the Tiemu Sect and find someone else to do her bidding."

She came from Kunlun Mountain!

Lin Chen was both surprised and delighted, as this was exactly what his father had said back then!

Lin Chen had vaguely guessed who this woman was. When Xi Shan was hunting and killing his parents, a mysterious woman appeared, easily defeating Xi Shan and taking his parents away, right?

Lin Chen asked, "The person she was looking for, is he by any chance called Lin Yuan?"

Gu Lie was stunned, and his gaze suddenly fell straight on Lin Chen’s face, "How do you know, Mr. Lin...uh, your last name is Lin too..."

It really is!

Lin Chen did not answer Gu Lie’s question and calmly said, "Continue."

Gu Lie glanced at Lin Chen with an uncertain expression but didn’t dare to ask any further. He continued to recount his story: "Fortunately, Lin Yuan was quite famous at the time, and after asking around, I found out a lot of information about him, including his elopement with a young lady from the Feng Family of Xijing. I reported all this information to Miss Tang..."

Lin Chen interrupted, "Her last name is Tang? What’s her first name?"

Gu Lie shook his head, "She didn’t say. She just said her last name is Tang and that she’s from Kunlun Mountain."

Lin Chen asked further, "What was her reaction when you told her that Lin Yuan had eloped with the Feng family’s young lady?"

Gu Lie replied with a bitter smile, "When she heard the news, the bench she was sitting on shattered instantly. I was scared to death, thinking that she would kill us. But to my surprise, she didn’t do anything. After reading all the information, she sat quietly in the courtyard for two hours before leaving."

Lin Chen continued to ask, "What happened later? Have you seen her again?"

Gu Lie nodded, "I did see her, about a month later. She appeared in Ding City again, accompanied by two people - Lin Yuan and the young lady from the Feng family..."

Lin Chen’s heart suddenly tightened. He had been searching for information about his origins for a long time, and this piece of news was the closest and most relevant to his parents’ safety so far!

Unable to help the urgency in his voice, Lin Chen asked, "Are they still alive?"

"Alive."

Gu Lie’s answer eased Lin Chen’s anxious heart, but his next words made it race again: "They’re both alive, but in very bad condition. Both of them were lying in a deep coma, seemingly on the verge of death at any moment..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, "Why did Miss Tang come to you?"

Gu Lie replied, "She asked me to bring people and carry Lin Yuan and his wife up Kunlun Mountain. We followed her instructions for a long distance until we reached a snow valley. There, she told us to put them down and let us go. Although I was very curious whether that snow valley was the entrance to the Unknown Land of Kunlun Mountain, I didn’t dare to ask or even stop to look. After all, Miss Tang didn’t show any mercy when she killed."

Gu Lie paused for a moment, then sighed, "But I have to say, I’m actually grateful to Miss Tang. If it wasn’t for her appearance and killing the Sect Master and other high-ranking Elders, I wouldn’t have been able to gain everyone’s trust by serving her twice and eventually become the Sect Master, remaining in the position until now..."

Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

Confirmed!

Completely confirmed!

This mysterious Miss Tang did indeed take his parents back to Kunlun Mountain. But from Gu Lie’s story, it seemed that Miss Tang had feelings for his father.

His father left Kunlun Mountain and fell in love with his mother, while Miss Tang pursued them from Kunlun Mountain...

This plot seemed like that of a young master running away from an arranged marriage!
