Chapter 243 Mother and Daughter Reunion
Outside the mountain god temple.
Faced with the other party's obstruction, Duan Zhengchun remained silent and walked straight inside with his hands behind his back.
He did not bring his sword case with him this time, so it was difficult for anyone to identify his identity and origin.
Seeing Duan Zhengchun approaching with unbridled bravado, more than a dozen guards immediately swarmed towards him, brandishing their weapons.
But how could they possibly be a match for Duan Zhengchun? After only a few rounds, they all fell to the ground, each one injured, and even the wounds were in the same places!
Only then did the other party realize they had messed with a tough opponent!
After all those who tried to stop him were injured and fell to the ground, Duan Zhengchun continued to walk inside. His intuition told him that there were at least two people hiding in the main hall!
Because he could sense the two of them breathing!
Just then, a sharp shout suddenly came, and a burly man rushed out of the main hall and attacked Duan Zhengchun directly!
The man was strong and muscular, with a long beard that reached past his knees, and he held a dragon-headed steel staff in his hand!
Upon seeing this, Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and gently waved his right hand, sending a powerful force rushing towards the middle-aged man!
With just this one move, he easily forced the aggressive middle-aged man back, and after landing, he couldn't help but take seven or eight steps back before he could barely steady himself!
"Really you?!"
Duan Zhengchun gave the middle-aged man a cold look and said in a deep voice.
This middle-aged man is none other than Fan Yiweng, the long-bearded monster who went missing in the Valley of Heartbreak last time!
"You audacious scoundrel, where have you taken my junior sister?!"
Fan Yiweng glared at Duan Zhengchun and asked a question in a stern voice. Although his eyes were full of tension, he was not intimidated by it.
"Since you were able to find the Xicheng branch, you must already know my identity. How dare you speak to me like that? Aren't you afraid of death?!"
Duan Zhengchun looked coldly at Fan Yiweng and asked disdainfully.
As soon as the other party spoke, he understood that they were after Gongsun Lü'e, not that they intended to be enemies with the Qingyi Guards.
"What does death matter if it means dying to find my junior sister?!"
"If you've got the guts, kill me right now!"
Fan Yiweng snorted coldly and raised his voice again.
"Your master may now appear."
Duan Zhengchun smiled contemptuously and said something indifferently, while coldly looking at the dilapidated main hall of the mountain god temple.
He knew very well that the reason Fan Yiweng dared to be so arrogant in front of him was because he had powerful backers and was therefore fearless!
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and then an ugly old woman was seen sitting on a reclining chair, being slowly carried out of the main hall by two subordinates.
"You are Lingxiao Sword Demon Yin Zhiping?!"
The old woman sized up Duan Zhengchun, asked a sinister question, her eyes filled with malice.
"and who are you?!"
Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes, looked away with some disgust, and asked coldly.
He hadn't seen this ugly old woman when he was in the Valley of Heartbreak last time, but since Fan Yiweng and the disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak followed this old woman to the Xicheng branch, it meant that this old woman must also have a great relationship with the Valley of Heartbreak!
"Enough with the nonsense! Where's my daughter?!"
"If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I will kill you even if it costs me my life!"
The old man glared at Duan Zhengchun and shouted sternly.
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock!
daughter?!
He never expected that the incredibly ugly old woman in front of him would actually be Gongsun Lü'e's mother!
"You've injured so many of my men, shouldn't I be the one settling the score?!"
Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly and asked disdainfully.
"Just you?!"
"Humph!"
The old woman snorted disdainfully, and as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly puffed out her cheeks and spat out three date pit nails that flew like lightning toward Duan Zhengchun's face!
Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes, shifted his feet slightly, and easily dodged the rapidly approaching date pit nail with effortless ease.
Seeing this, the old woman was clearly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"Take it!"
Immediately afterwards, the old man loudly issued the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Yiweng led the remaining disciples of Jueqing Valley to rush towards Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun sneered, his eyes already revealing murderous intent.
"stop!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, and Gongsun Lü'e rushed to Duan Zhengchun's side, looking at the old woman sitting on the recliner with a confused expression.
"E'er?!"
Upon seeing this, the old woman immediately raised her hand to stop Fan Yiweng and his men, and looked Gongsun Lü'e up and down, her expression gradually becoming agitated.
"You...you're really my mother?!"
Gongsun Lü'e was also scrutinizing the agitated old woman when she asked a question in a trembling voice.
"Daughter, my daughter, don't you even recognize your own mother?"
"It's all your damned father's fault! If he hadn't beaten me so badly and locked me in a cave, where I haven't seen the light of day for over a decade, my mother wouldn't be in this inhuman, ghostly state she is now!"
The old woman sighed and said with a sorrowful expression.
"Mother! It really is you!"
Gongsun Lü'e studied the old woman for a moment and finally recognized her. After exclaiming in surprise, she rushed to the old woman's side, tears already streaming down her face.
Although she had not seen her mother for many years, blood is thicker than water, and she could still vaguely recognize her mother's face.
The mother and daughter, reunited after a long separation, embraced tightly in front of everyone, expressing their deep longing for each other.
Seeing that the old woman was indeed Gongsun Lü'e's mother, Duan Zhengchun put aside his dissatisfaction, walked to the side, untied the wine gourd from his waist, and silently began to drink.
He didn't want to disturb Gongsun Lü'e.
After a long while, Gongsun Lü'e finally wiped her eyes and slowly came to Duan Zhengchun, recounting the cause and effect of her mother's attack on the Xicheng branch.
It turns out that after Fan Yiweng accidentally fell into the crevice, he happened to meet Qiu Qianchi, Gongsun Zhi's first wife, who was imprisoned in the cave by Gongsun Zhi. Fan Yiweng then rescued Qiu Qianchi from the cave.
When Qiu Qianchi learned that Gongsun Zhi had jumped off a cliff and committed suicide, she suddenly felt extremely depressed because she could not avenge her great hatred.
However, upon hearing that his daughter might have been kidnapped, Fan Yiweng gathered the disciples who had escaped from the Valley of Heartbreak and left the valley, whereupon he had been desperately searching for his daughter's whereabouts.
"I'm sorry, Duan Lang, my mother did all this for me, please don't blame her."
After recounting all of this, Gongsun Lü'e bowed to Duan Zhengchun with a look of guilt.
"This has nothing to do with you, why blame yourself?"
Duan Zhengchun smiled as he helped Gongsun Lü'e up and reached out to wipe away her tears, his eyes full of tenderness.
"E'er, come here!"
Seeing her daughter so intimate with Duan Zhengchun, Qiu Qianchi's face darkened, and she shouted sternly.
Gongsun Lü'e was stunned for a moment, glanced nervously at her mother, and slowly approached.
"Now that we have recognized each other as mother and daughter, let's return to the Valley of Heartbreak together."
Qiu Qianchi glared fiercely at Duan Zhengchun and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e's expression changed drastically. She looked up at Qiu Qianchi with a helpless expression, not knowing what to do.
Duan Zhengchun frowned and looked coldly at Qiu Qianchi, who was clearly harboring selfish love.
"What? You don't want to?!"
Seeing her daughter's troubled expression, Qiu Qianchi immediately questioned her with some displeasure.
"It's not that my daughter is unwilling, it's just...it's just..."
As Gongsun Lü'e spoke, she turned to look at Duan Zhengchun with difficulty, unsure of how to respond.
“She’s not a child anymore; whether she stays or leaves is up to her to decide.”
"If she doesn't want to leave, no one can take her away!"
Duan Zhengchun looked coldly at Qiu Qianchi and said in a cold voice.
"What if I insist on taking her with me?!"
Qiu Qianchi snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Duan Zhengchun, seemingly ready to make another move.
"Mother, I have other matters to attend to and need to go elsewhere with Duan Lang. Could we return to the Valley of Heartbreak later?"
Gongsun Lü'e hurriedly spoke up to make a request.
She knew that her mother was no match for Duan Lang, and if she really became a match for him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"E'er, now that your father is dead and the Valley of Heartbreak is gone, can you bear to let your mother go back alone and die in loneliness for the rest of her life?"
"Are you really that heartless?"
Qiu Qianchi looked at Gongsun Lü'e with a sorrowful expression and red eyes, saying...
