Chapter 2522 - 2621: Hidden Truths (Update 1)
"Young boy Su, you, alas..." Feng Qiu could only sigh, he couldn’t forcibly stop Su Chen from participating.
"Dean, what about Qu Mu?" Three Supreme Elders appeared behind Feng Qiu, and Elder Xuu asked.
Seeing Su Chen’s resolute attitude, it was evident that Su Chen was determined to participate in the exchange competition.
In that case, the worst outcome had to be considered.
If something happened to Su Chen, and he died at the hands of Gu Xiu, then what would happen to the Saint Academy? And also Qu Mu.
Although Qu Mu was far inferior to Huang Zhi and Su Chen, with Huang Zhi already dead, if Su Chen also died, then only Qu Mu would be left.
"Qu Mu is equally resolute." Feng Qiu said with a bitter smile. He understood Elder Xuu’s intention. Since Su Chen insisted on participating in the exchange competition, then Qu Mu should be persuaded not to attend, however...
Qu Mu was equally firm in attitude.
The faces of the three Supreme Elders became increasingly grim.
"Alright, let’s take it one step at a time." Feng Qiu took a deep breath and said, "How is the order being maintained at the Martial Arts Arena?"
Because the number of people coming to watch the exchange competition was overwhelmingly large.
Feng Qiu was still somewhat worried about uncontrolled incidents occurring.
"Rest assured, Dean, all the first-generation stewards have already arrived at the scene," Elder Xuu said.
Feng Qiu nodded.

"Fei Yan, do you know what you’re doing?!!!" In the attic, inside the room, Mu Lijian was staring hard at Mu Feiyan in front of him. His pair of elderly eyes were practically spitting fire. He raised his hand, his hand trembling, wishing he could slap it down, but in the end, he did not.
Mu Feiyan’s face remained calm.
No explanation.
Nor did she wish to explain.
In her beautiful eyes, there was only a trace of defiant mockery.
"Fei Yan, I know you are dissatisfied with daddy’s arrangement for your marriage, but..." Mu Lijian finally put down his hand, sighed, and shook his head, "Daddy has only you as a daughter, do you think a father wouldn’t love his daughter? Do you think a father wants to treat his daughter’s marriage as a transaction?"
Mu Feiyan still did not make a sound, but there was a trace of doubt in her beautiful eyes.
Indeed.
Recalling the past, in fact, Mu Lijian still loved her extremely.
Is there some hidden story?
"Initially, daddy didn’t want to say anything, but seeing you like this, if I don’t tell you, you might hate daddy for a lifetime, who knows what you’ll do?" Mu Lijian said in a grave voice, he was scared. He thought Mu Feiyan went to find Su Chen and persuade him not to participate in the exchange competition as a way to deliberately retaliate against him, the father who treated her marriage as a transaction.
He had to say it.
Otherwise, if something went wrong at the exchange competition, it would be too late for regrets.
"Fei Yan. Do you know who your mother is?" Mu Lijian’s face bore a trace of a reminiscing look.
Mu Feiyan shook her head. She truly didn’t know because since childhood, from as far back as she could remember, she didn’t have a mother. Neither her father nor anyone else at Ling Academy had ever mentioned anything about her mother before her.
Many times, she wanted to ask, but she didn’t know how to ask? It had always been pressed in her heart.
"Your mother comes from the Chaos Divine Kingdom!" Mu Lijian dropped a bombshell of news, one that left Mu Feiyan stunned.
How could it be?
Chaos Divine Kingdom?
Can people from the Chaos Divine Kingdom freely come to the Grand Cosmos World? How did mother meet father?
"Fei Yan, your mother has a big background. In fact, even your father is not very clear about your mother’s affairs."
"It’s just that, back then, for some unknown reason, she somehow came from the Chaos Divine Kingdom to the Grand Cosmos World."
"Maybe it was fate. At that time, your father was training in the Furious Water Mountain Range and met your mother. Your mother was neither seriously injured nor on the verge of death at that time. When your father met your mother, her strength was already so immense that she easily suppressed me with just a finger."
Mu Lijian smiled bitterly:
"Daddy was frightened... just thinking about running away. Yet, your mother, being new here, unfamiliar with the Grand Cosmos World, needed a local person like me. When I tried to escape, I was caught by your mother."
"So, for a full century that followed, I worked for your mother like a servant."
"Later on, your father thought it was too dangerous to continue this way. Who knew when your mother might, with a whim, pinch me to death. My power in front of your mother was nothing."
"In order to save myself, daddy ultimately thought of a way to be exceedingly kind to your mother, thinking that this way, your mother would be moved and wouldn’t just kill me."
"But what daddy never expected was that my care and concern, over time, ended up working too well. Your mother not only was moved, she even... even fell in love with daddy."
"And later on, there was you."
"After you were born, before you were even one year old, your mother left, saying she had to return to the Chaos Divine Kingdom."
𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"She said she initially planned to stay in the Grand Cosmos World, but now with you, she had to return to the Chaos Divine Kingdom; otherwise, if one day her enemies from the Chaos Divine Kingdom found this place, found her, they’d find you too."
"She said if she returned to the Chaos Divine Kingdom, the people there wouldn’t know she left behind a bloodline in the Grand Cosmos World, and this way, you and I would be safe."
"Daddy wanted to stop her, but daddy’s strength was an infinite distance below hers."
"Before she left, your mother solemnly told me that she left something on you, something very important, which might bring you endless benefits but could also bring endless disaster."
"Exactly what she left on you, daddy doesn’t know. But daddy is worried, especially with the great era’s arrival. Maybe it won’t be long before the Chaos Channel is opened. Perhaps soon, people from the Grand Cosmos World will be able to enter the Chaos Divine Kingdom. Perhaps, soon, you may even go to the Chaos Divine Kingdom."
"Daddy is worried but can’t stop it. After thinking much, the only thing daddy could do was find you a man, a man monstrous enough, a genius, strong enough. With his protection, in the future, if you do go to the Chaos Divine Kingdom, or if your mother’s enemies from there find you, with his help, you’d have a chance to survive."
......
Mu Lijian finished speaking.
Tears had already welled up in his eyes.
And Mu Feiyan remained silent, biting her lip hard.
"Dad. I’m sorry." Mu Feiyan’s voice had a touch of sobbing.
