Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Lan Ruoyi had been sitting aside and listening quietly to what Ying Luo said, but suddenly she said affirmatively: "Qu Yitian is in Fengdu City!"

Bai He and the others had also reacted. Thinking of the mysterious master who had bewitched the Northern Phoenix Emperor mentioned by Ying Luo, and thinking of what Yun Qing and Yun Yi had experienced more than ten years ago...

The Qu family is indeed playing a big game!

Bai He frowned and asked, "Why did he do this?"

Han Xiuyuan, the patriarch of the Han family, is the oldest among them. If his son was not lacking in talent, he would have resigned from the responsibility of patriarch like the previous patriarchs of several other hidden clans.

Han Xiuyuan let out a long sigh and looked at everyone in the room with a complicated expression. Some things were no longer just the business of their reclusive family, but concerned the lives of all people in the world.

"Do you still remember the predecessor of the Qu family?" This question was asked to the people of the Hidden Clan present.

Bai He and his companions looked at each other. Although they had all seen bits and pieces about the Qu family in their own ancient books, they only knew that the Qu family had not lived in the hidden land like other hidden families from the beginning.

Hundreds of years ago, the Qu family was rescued by the medical staff and brought back to the land of the hidden clan...

As for why all the families later agreed to let those members of the Qu family stay in the land of the Hidden Clan, hundreds of years have passed, so how could they know it so clearly.

Presumably, only the patriarch of each family would know the secret, otherwise Han Xiuyuan, the patriarch of the Han family, would not have asked this question.

Obviously, Lan Ruoyi, as the head of the medical sect, also knew something about it. She slowly put down the teacup in her hand and spoke in a melodious voice about the origins of the Qu family.

The Qu family was once a lineage of imperial masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and every imperial master of the Great Zhou Dynasty came from the Qu family.

This Great Zhou has nothing to do with the current Western Zhou Kingdom. This is not quite right. It should be said that the four kingdoms today are the predecessors of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Several hundred years ago, the Zhou Dynasty was in serious internal turmoil, and even the Qu family, which was regarded as the pillar of the entire Zhou Dynasty, could not be saved.

Later, the Qu family was hunted down by the then general Zhou Zhanfeng, and only less than ten people were left. After fleeing to the Misty Cliff at the border of the four countries, they were forced to jump off the cliff. Only then were they rescued by the head of the medical sect who was collecting herbs outside and brought back to the land of the hidden clan.

As for more details, such as why several members of the Qu clan were finally allowed to stay in the land of the Hidden Clan, hundreds of years have passed since then, and the old patriarchs of each family who knew the truth at that time have long been reduced to nothing but a handful of earth.

Now, apart from knowing the identity of the Qu family and that they are extremely skilled in divination and Qimen Dunjia, the heads of various families know very little else.

"Do they want revenge?" Bai He asked puzzledly.

Ying Luo was even more confused after hearing this, and muttered: "Even if he wants revenge, what does this have to do with ordinary people? He clearly disregards human life..."

Yu Menghua suddenly stood up, "No! He not only wants revenge! He wants to regret the Four Kingdoms!"

Han Xiuyuan, who was impatient, immediately asked, "What do you mean, little girl? Tell me quickly."

Yu Menghua nodded slightly and did not answer him immediately. Instead, she turned back to the house and brought back a piece of rice paper.

When she spread the rice paper on the table, everyone saw that there were many words densely written on the paper with a brush.

There are names of people, names of countries, and some relationship diagrams...

"This is..." Lan Ruoyi looked at Yu Menghua in surprise.

After Yu Menghua gave his master a soothing look, he pointed at the piece of paper and began to explain to everyone.

"I have already told Master and Uncle Bai that the people of Donglin Country came to Beifeng Country to celebrate the birthday of Beifeng Emperor, but they were infected with the 'epidemic'. But in fact, it was not an epidemic, but the water source of the entire Lancheng was poisoned."

"I think that Master Bai, the one who poisoned the food, has already told several seniors about it..."

After he finished speaking, Han Xiuyuan and the others all looked at Bai He with sympathy.

Tsk tsk, the old guy was reluctant to tell them the truth at first, but after getting here, hey, someone told them.

Ying Luo, who didn't realize that he had accidentally exposed the secrets of the Master Bai of the hidden medical sect, was greeted by a look of disdain from Senior Bai in confusion.

Ying Luo: "(?◇?)?"

Yu Menghua continued, "Later, we investigated Lancheng again and boldly speculated that the poisoning was the work of the Second Prince Feng Yuxuan."

"This also involves the affairs of Nanchu and Donglin Kingdom..."

Yu Menghua told the other party everything he had been thinking about during these days, and everyone fell into deep thought after listening.

After a while, Fan Zhongliang asked, "If it is true that the Qu family had been preparing to stir up trouble in the four countries, then they would never have made a deal only with the Northern Phoenix Emperor!"

"Hmm?" Yun Qing suddenly said, "It is said that the royal families of the four countries have wanted to send people to our Hidden Clan to study over the years, but the Western Zhou Kingdom seems to have only tried once and then gave up. Isn't this a bit strange?"

"It's indeed strange! But I am sure that this Western Zhou Dynasty is not the Great Zhou Dynasty of the past. As for why their practices are different from those of the other three kingdoms, I can't figure out the reason..." Han Xiuyuan stroked his long beard.

Yu Menghua asked, "Why didn't the seniors doubt the Donglin Kingdom?"

"Why do you say that, little girl?" Yun Qing asked.

Yu Menghua's eyes flickered slightly, "I just think that the envoy from Donglin Kingdom is a little too strange. A few days ago, I received news that the second princess, who is the most favored of their Donglin Kingdom, has inexplicably moved into the residence of the second prince of Beifeng Kingdom."

"The envoys from Donglin Kingdom did not question the Second Prince, nor did they ask the Northern Phoenix Emperor to give them an explanation. They just left Fengdu City. It would be fine for others, but this Second Princess of Donglin Kingdom is the fiancée of the King of Donglin Kingdom!"

"According to the date, the envoys from the East Lin Kingdom should have returned home, but it seems that neither the emperor nor the king of a different surname intends to pursue this matter."

"Don't you find it strange, seniors?" Yu Menghua asked everyone with clear eyes.

Yun Qing said: "Girl, do you mean that Donglin Kingdom is colluding with the Qu family to annex the other three kingdoms?"

Yu Menghua shook his head, "Senior, maybe Donglin Kingdom is just a puppet country..."

After hearing this, several people were shocked. Thinking about the royal children of various countries who had come to the Hidden Clan for exchange studies in the past few years, it seemed that the Qu family had only accepted people from the royal family of Donglin Kingdom!

Moreover, the matter of communicating with the royal families of the four countries seemed to have been proposed by the Qu family! !

Perhaps, the Qu family never wanted to live in seclusion, they never forgot their hatred, so even though the Great Zhou Dynasty had been destroyed, the foundation of the four countries that came after was also the predecessor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
