Lu Jiu saw that Lu Che was puzzled, and frowned slightly with a solemn look on his face: "The Qing tribe has an ancient fragment of a scroll that records a method of refining a Gu. It is said that this method can be used to refine a long-lost, extremely domineering and cruel Gu worm, which is called the Saint King Gu, the king of Gu.
However, if one wants to refine this extremely domineering Gu King, only a cauldron made from the skeleton of the Qing clan saint can be effective.
When father took you in, your Qing clan had already been wiped out. Your aunt brought you to father, and she died of physical weakness after sending you to father. Afterwards, we buried her with great respect, but not long after, we discovered that her grave had been dug up and her bones were missing.
“My aunt…” Lu Che had never heard that he had an aunt.
She only knew that her father and elder brother had not allowed her to present herself as a girl since she was a child. They did not hide the truth from her, but only told her that she was not a real child of the Lu family. However, they did not explain where she came from.
Lu Che had asked Old Lu Jiu about this when he was a child, but Old Lu Jiu always kept silent.
Lu Che was smart and sensible. Seeing his father looking embarrassed, he stopped asking questions.
After all, her father and elder brother loved her sincerely. Lu Che knew that Old Lu Jiu did charity work all the year round and always went to the welfare home to support some orphans, so she always thought that she was adopted by her father from the welfare home when she was a child.
Lu Jiu: "Your aunt is actually my father's... savior. She is not of the royal bloodline of the Qing clan, but your grandmother's adopted daughter. But those people did not seem to understand this, and instead misunderstood her as a saint and dug up her bones. Before she died, she specifically asked my father to keep your background a secret. Because of this, my father and I have been carefully watching over you all these years, fearing that someone would covet your identity and harm you."
Although the Lu Jiu branch is prominent, they are ultimately unable to guard against the mysterious art of witchcraft.
Just like when Lu Che was a child, he was poisoned by a Gu insect. Even if they were on high alert again, they could not prevent the other party's tricks.
If Lu Che was a boy, the other party might have let her go.
If they knew that Lu Che was a girl, they would have probably started to harm Lu Che a long time ago.
Lu Jiu: "Those people were traitors within the Young Clan. After testing you several times, they determined that you were just a useless boy and no longer cared about you."
As an ancient and mysterious ethnic group, the Qing people have an internal class system that is completely different from the outside world.
Within the Qing tribe, women are respected, and the royal heir can only be a empress, not a man.
Just because Lu Che was just a 'useless' boy, he finally escaped.
This is what happened...
Only then did Lu Che finally understand.
But she didn't understand - "Brother, since they have never doubted my gender for so many years, why did you suddenly bring up this matter? Also, what does this have to do with Lu Qilin and Ziyun Mountain?"
Lu Che keenly felt that things might not be simple.
Lu Jiu sighed, knowing that he would have to tell his sister: "Xiao Che, no... Now that the truth is out, I should call you Huanhuan from now on."
Compared to the name Shi Huan, the two words Lu Che really sound too much like a boy's name.
Since the truth has been revealed, it is better to let Huanhuan return to her identity as a woman. What is there to hide? (To be continued)
