Since the mysterious owner of Xiaoyao Valley said that she could enter and leave Huaqing Pool freely, Du Suxi would not let go of this good opportunity.
Strictly speaking, although Huaqing Pool is bone-chillingly cold and can strengthen the body, healthy people will not have the slightest effect if they go in. Instead, they will feel very cold.
Only those who are weak and endure the severe cold in Huaqing Pool can achieve miraculous effects.
Therefore, although Huaqing Pool is a rare treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, it has not received much attention in Xiaoyao Valley because of its trivial function. Therefore, when Du Suxi entered Huaqing Pool, she did not receive much attention. changes.
Looking at the crystal clear Huaqing Pool, the suspicion in Du Suxi's heart became more and more firm.
After retreating from the palace guests, Du Suxi looked at the crystal clear lake water, slowly took off her clothes and stepped into the water of Huaqing Pool.
As soon as he entered the water, Du Suxi's eyes flashed with joy. Her guess was indeed correct. This water was clearly the same as the cold lake in Buzhou Mountain. The cold lake was indeed not simple.
When she was in Buzhou Mountain, because she was weak, she could clearly feel the chill that penetrated her heart. As for Helian Kuang, his body was already strong, so he couldn't feel the coldness of the cold lake. In this regard, it was really similar to Huaqing Pool. Du Suxi was already determined. There must be similarities between the two places.
After soaking for two hours, Du Suxi got up. Although her face was pale, her energy was much better. This water was magical. It was probably because of some substance in it that had changed.
Du Suxi came from the 21st century, so she naturally did not think that the Huaqing Pool was blessed by some god. She secretly guessed in her heart that if the water could have such an effect, some mysterious change must have occurred in it. . It's just that she won't say these words, she just keeps them in her heart. The views of the ancients cannot be changed at will. It is better for her to be careful, lest she be regarded as an alien and be caught and burned to death.
After putting on her clothes, Du Suxi just walked out of Huaqing Pool, but the two maids lowered their heads and bowed to her, with extremely respectful expressions.
"Girl, the Valley Master invites you to come over."
Are you starting to make conditions now? With a slight smile on her lips, Du Suxi nodded, a bright look flashed across her pale face, and she spoke.
"Okay. Lead the way."
Her dignified and calm appearance, coupled with her extremely bright eyes, made people look at her in stunned silence. Although the woman in front of her may not be very beautiful, her calm attitude is unparalleled by anyone.
The two maids looked at it in a daze, and then realized that something was wrong. They hurriedly lowered their heads, looked at their toes, and said.
"Girl, follow the slave." The tone was respectful and calm, and it seemed that the matter had been taken care of. Du Suxi thought to herself, but there was no expression on her face, and she followed the two of them away calmly.
The two women took her to a secluded place, nodded and left, signaling Du Suxi to walk in alone.
In response, Du Suxi refused to comment and nodded to them as an agreement.
In that sunny place, a man stood with his back straight, standing there with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he felt that the sun was a bit dazzling.
"Come here." Sensing Du Suxi's arrival, the man spoke without looking back. He still squinted his eyes and looked at the sunny place, pursed his thin lips tightly.
"The little girl has met the Valley Master."
"Huh?" Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, looked down at Du Suxi, and said. "Didn't I tell you that you are my daughter?"
"..." Du Suxi didn't speak, just looked at her
Toe. Asking her to call such a young man father, she would never be able to do so.
Seeing Du Suxi's indifferent look, the man burst out laughing.
"I have heard about all the things you did in Tiansheng. You look so coquettish at this time. You really don't look like the chic woman in the rumors. What? Are the rumors wrong? You are just a coquettish girl. Miss Jiao?" Her tone was faint, revealing a hint of disappointment.
Disappointment for Du Suxi. Although it was vague, Du Suxi understood it clearly.
Du Suxi was silent, her mind already spinning a thousand times. It seems that this man has been observing himself. He must be useful to him. Since he is useful, he will not kill him easily. Since he will not attack himself, he can feel at ease. However, What exactly does this man want to use himself for
Just when he was thinking about it but couldn't figure it out, the man suddenly spoke. "Du Suxi, you don't have to guess, I really value you."
Du Suxi's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the man in disbelief.
He said, I do value you. He valued her very much.
Du Suxi didn't know what to say for a moment. But she was not one of those ordinary women. After a moment, she recovered, looked at the man calmly, and asked with a bit of temptation.
"Can you tell me what kind of woman my mother is?"
Since he valued her, he would naturally not vent his anger on her casually, so she would give it a try and ask about this topic that seemed to be kept secret to him.
What Du Suxi expected was true. As soon as he asked the question, the man's face darkened, he looked at Du Suxi, his eyes were full of coldness and he warned. "You don't need to know this!"
"But I want to know!" Du Suxi's answer was equally decisive. Her eyes boldly met the man's gaze without flinching at all. She just wanted to know the secret behind it.
The man closed his eyes and seemed to be trying to calm down his emotions. Du Suxi could clearly hear that the man's breathing was a little hurried, and it seemed that he was really anxious. However, Du Suxi still did not flinch. She just raised her eyes more firmly and looked at the man, waiting for his answer.
At this point, she couldn't back down anymore. She could only face him forcefully, and looking at the man's profile, Du Suxi continued.
"You should know that I am not your daughter, and I am not even related by blood. Moreover, you have enough reasons to kill me, but why do you want me to be your adopted daughter? All of this, I want to know."
Looking at the man's gaze, Du Suxi asked methodically, her eyes full of persistence. She persisted, insisting on asking for the answer she wanted.
Even though it was very possible that she would anger this man, she would not give up at all. She just faced him firmly and waited for the answer he gave her. She didn't even realize that her breathing was getting faster in anticipation.
Quietly, waiting in silence and health. Du Suxi took a deep breath.
The man opened his eyes, and all his emotions were gone. There was only calmness, and there was no trace of madness or irritability.
"You want to know the reason?" With a smile, the man looked into Du Suxi's eyes and nodded.
"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you." He calmed down unexpectedly. Du Suxi even thought that when this man would be irritable, he was already on guard, but he actually calmed down.
This man is really strange! Extremely strange! Du Suxi subconsciously pursed her lips and became more vigilant.
No
Somehow, this man gave her a strange sense of oppression, making her breathless.
"Your mother was killed by my own hands."
The voice was light and calm, but there was something strange and scary about it.
"Why, why?" Du Suxi couldn't control herself, looking at the man, her lips trembling. I didn't expect him to tell such a fact so easily.
No wonder Shen Mu didn't want to tell him. No wonder Shen Mu refused to tell her even though she was so persistent. How could he tell her? If I tell her, I'm afraid she will come directly to trouble the owner of Xiaoyao Valley, right
Du Suxi figured it out. But because he understood, Shen Mu felt a deep disappointment in her heart. Although he said he would protect her, how could he protect her
What if this man is determined to attack him? How should he choose? Will he stand by himself or by the man who has nurtured him for more than ten years
I'm afraid, by then, he will have no choice, right? He said that he would definitely protect her. I was afraid it was just a joke. I was stupid and actually believed it.
Turning her head slightly, Du Suxi put away her emotions and returned to her expressionless look. She looked at the man in front of her, waiting for his answer.
The man looked at her calmly, with a gloomy look on his sharply angular face. Looking at Du Suxi, the man said solemnly.
"An unfaithful woman is no longer worthy of being the mistress of Xiaoyao Valley. If I kill her, I will kill her."
If I kill, I will kill. Decisive and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, Du Suxi was immediately shocked.
Biting her lip, Du Suxi found it difficult to accept such a thing. Suddenly, another idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered something again. Looking at Xiaoyao Valley Master, she hurriedly asked.
"My mother, when did she die?"
If the owner of Xiaoyao Valley killed his mother in an upright manner, it must be known to everyone in Xiaoyao Valley. Then Shen Mu would never hide it from her, but Shen Mu hid it from her, and this owner of Xiaoyao Valley , and kept warning myself not to mention this matter!
Then, there must be something hidden in this matter!
Xiaoyao Valley Master glanced at Du Suxi's eyebrows coldly and said. "A year ago. Speaking of which, you really look a lot like Chen Xi, especially those eyes."
Du Suxi shuddered subconsciously.
A year ago, the day she had just traveled through time, she did not expect that the owner of Xiaoyao Valley would directly kill his wife who had been with him for fifteen years. Such cruelty was really hard to find! Du Suxi subconsciously became a little afraid of Xiaoyao Valley Master. She frowned and took a few steps back. After keeping a certain distance from Xiaoyao Valley Master, Du Suxi took a deep breath and calmed down. He spoke.
"The Valley Master and my mother have been together for fifteen years. Is it possible that the Valley Master is really so cruel? Doesn't he care about the relationship between husband and wife at all?"
She didn't believe that the owner of Xiaoyao Valley only killed him fifteen years after the incident. It had been so long, and there must be some reason for the sudden investigation.
Du Suxi's words were a test to test the mind of the owner of Xiaoyao Valley.
The man snorted coldly, looked at Du Suxi with slightly squinted eyes, and warned in a mute voice. "I told you not to mention your mother's affairs again, Du Suxi, you are a smart person. As long as you are smart enough, the entire Xiaoyao Valley may fall into your hands."
It was forbidden to mention it again, it seemed that there was no way to pursue the question. Du Suxi bit her lip, a little reluctant, but she didn't ask further questions, but her expression became a bit complicated.
This Valley Master, it seems, is not generally difficult to serve.
