"Is this child... yours?"

When the old Taoist priest asked this question, Zhang Lingyu seemed to stop breathing at that moment. He raised his head slightly and looked at his master, then asked a question in return:

"What do you think?"

"?"

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's question, the old Taoist priest's face darkened: "If I didn't notice something was wrong, why would I call you here?"

"Master, since you already have the answer in your heart, what does it mean even if you ask me?" Zhang Lingyu rarely laughed with the old master.

Facing Zhang Lingyu's twists and turns, the old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment:

"Okay, Master Lingyu has really improved. After going out for a while... Not only did he have a child, but he also knew how to hide it from me, your master..."

"You have grown up, and I have grown old..."

The old Taoist priest tried to deceive Zhang Lingyu again. His old and weak appearance struck Zhang Lingyu in the heart.

"Master...I have been entrusted with the task and must keep the secret..." Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingyu knelt down in front of the old Taoist priest and spoke very frankly.

"?"

"Entrusted by someone?"

"The mother of this child? You are keeping the secret for the mother of this child... Then the identity of this child's mother must not be revealed to the public..."

The old Taoist priest began to analyze in front of Zhang Lingyu:

"He is an insider, or he is not allowed to be seen in public... Could it be... He is a Quan Xing demon?"

When Zhang Lingyu heard the words "Quan Xing monster", his pupils suddenly shrank, revealing his chicken feet. This subtle change in his expression was just caught by the old Taoist priest who was deceiving him.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and nodded: "Well, it seems that he is really a demon of all nature..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lingyu who was kneeling on the ground, and then asked coldly: "Zhang Lingyu, I'll ask you again, is this child... yours?"

The old Taoist priest's question was undoubtedly telling Zhang Lingyu: I already know what I need to know. If you keep beating around the bush, you will definitely not get any good results...

A disciple of the Heavenly Master and a demon of all natures, if this is discovered, Zhang Lingyu will have to bear the brunt of the consequences...

Listening to the old Taoist priest's questioning again, Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly... After all, he couldn't hide it from his master.

"No."

After getting Zhang Lingyu's answer, the old Taoist priest continued to ask: "Whose is that?"

"Yes..."

Zhang Lingyu paused. He looked at the old Taoist priest and did not rush to say the name Zhou Fengliu. Instead, he asked:

"Master, now that you know this, will you keep this secret for your disciple?"

"I'll think about it." The old Taoist priest did not give a direct answer.

Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly when he heard the voice, then he made up his mind and said the name Zhou Fengliu.

After hearing that the child was really Zhou Fengliu's, the old Taoist priest did not seem that surprised.

In fact, when he saw Tuantuan for the first time, he felt that the texture of Tuantuan's internal Qi was somewhat familiar. This empty and large feeling was just like the first time he saw Zhou Fengliu.

Zhang Lingyu's answer at this moment could only be said to have confirmed his guess. Compared to the child's father, he was more curious about the identity of the child's biological mother.

"Who is the child's mother?" asked the old Taoist priest.

"Bone scraper...Quan Xing Xia He." Zhang Lingyu also revealed the identity of the child's mother.

"Xia He..."

"No wonder..."

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he also knew why Xia He wanted to conceal the child's identity.

The director of Nadutong gave birth to a child with Quan Xingyaoren. What is going on?

After getting all the answers he wanted, the old Taoist priest also shattered his only remaining hope. He was still thinking that Zhang Lingyu was really so brave that he would do a great job for him and give him a disciple...

The result is to protect others from robbery...

"Wait, don't you hate Xia He? Then why did you keep the secret for her... Why did she come to you?"

Faced with the old Taoist's question, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but sigh and told the whole story:

"I don't know about this matter, but I think it may be related to the beginning of everything. Do you still remember the Luotian Grand Ceremony and Quan Xing's attack on the mountain?"

"Um...what?"

"My disciple was evil-minded and committed a crime. I let Xia He escape. Xia He brought Zhou Fengliu, who was hit by the Xiji, down the mountain... This was the origin of all evil... and it was also the biggest mistake I have made in my life."

"Oh~"

“So it came out here…”

After hearing Zhang Lingyu mention the time point of Luotian Dajiao, the old Taoist priest connected the timeline together. After listening to Zhang Lingyu's account of how Xia He appeared and asking him to keep the secret and take care of the child, the old Taoist priest also felt that this was fate.

It is not only Zhang Lingyu's calamity, but also Zhou Fengliu's fate...

If Zhang Lingyu had kept Zhou Fengliu, then Zhou Fengliu would not have continued his relationship with Xia He and had a child. It was because of this child and the past that Xia He would find Zhang Lingyu and make him her accomplice...

Xia He has changed her ways and doesn't want to use the child as a bargaining chip to control Zhou Fengliu, but what about Zhang Lingyu? He is still obsessed with his mistakes and tries his best to make up for them...

But I didn't expect that the more I tried to make up for this mistake, the bigger it became. In the end, I ended up raising the child myself, thus embracing this whole cycle of fate...

After all these twists and turns, it's still the fault of their Tianshi Mansion...

This child... has a connection with their Tianshi Mansion.

The old Taoist priest came to the final conclusion.

While the old Taoist priest was brainstorming, Zhang Lingyu also thought a lot and saw him speak:

"Master, I have said everything I should and shouldn't say. This is the cause I sowed, and I have to bear the consequences... I have no regrets. I only ask you to keep this secret for me... Don't tell Zhou Fengliu."

Listening to Zhang Lingyu's words, the old Taoist came back to his senses. He did not agree:

"First, Xia He asked you not to tell Feng Liu, and then you asked me not to tell Feng Liu... Each of you thinks you are doing this to make up for your mistakes..."

"But who knows what kind of disaster will eventually result from one mistake after another?"

Facing the old Taoist's question, Zhang Lingyu was slightly startled:

"Master..."

"Let me ask you, even if you have been hiding your love affair from him and stopped it for him, have you really been fair to him? He is sincere to you, but are you really sincere to him?"

"It would be best if he never knew the child's origins, but what if he found out? How would you face him? And how would you face your heart?"

"Besides, this child...are you honest with this child?"

"Such a young child, she has a father and a mother but she doesn't even know it. When she grows up, are you sure she won't blame her father, her mother... and you?"
