In the underground city, Su Zhe stood at the door of the hut and said lazily: "The old man hasn't come down the mountain for so many years, and he actually came to this underground city in person. It seems that the identity of Su Baiyi can be basically confirmed."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Young Master's long-cherished wish for so many years is finally going to come true."
"But I always feel that Su Baiyi doesn't seem to have much interest in Weilong Mountain, and if he is really the heir of the family head, then we should start a war." Su Zhe raised his eyebrows.
Su Yu sighed softly: "This day will come sooner or later."
"It doesn't matter." Su Zhe yawned. "Listen to the old man." While the two were talking, Su Yunuo had already brought Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier to the front of the cabin. Su Zhe's originally listless eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu turned his head, and then suddenly realized, "So that's it."
"Brother Su Zhe." Su Baiyi greeted.
Su Zhe wiped his mouth and introduced himself to Nangong Xier: "My name is Su Zhe, and I am the young master of the Su family in Weilong Mountain. I am only 29 years old and still unmarried."
Nangong Xier looked at him with disdain, and then said to Su Baiyi: "After finishing the things here, go back to the academy, don't stay in the Su family."
Su Baiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister is right."
Su Zhe said to Su Yunuo with a smile: "Yunuo, what's the name of this girl?"
Su Yunuo was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword, but due to the other party's identity, she could only suppress her anger and said, "Master Su's senior sister, I don't know her name."
"Nangong Xier." Nangong Xier said calmly, "Is the person you want to see Su Baiyi in there?"
Su Zhe said seriously: "Yes. But the old man can only see Su Baiyi alone, so Miss Nangong should wait outside."
"Okay, you go in." Nangong Xier said lightly.
Su Baiyi nodded, his hands trembling slightly. He swallowed, pushed the door and walked in.
The room no longer had the slightly sweet fragrance from that day, but was instead filled with the elegant scent of sandalwood. A kind-looking old man sat on an iron wheelchair, and another old man with a serious expression stood guard beside him.
"Su Baiyi." The kind-looking old man said with a smile.
Su Baiyi nodded: "Meet the Master Su."
"I don't deserve the title of Patriarch. I am just the acting head of the Su family. It's fine for others to call me that, but you can't." The old man still smiled faintly, "My name is Su Heli, and this is Su Mingjue, the chief steward of our Su family."
"Hello, senior." Su Baiyi bowed his head and said to Su Mingjue.
Su Heli turned to Su Mingjue and said, "If I hadn't been prepared in advance, it would really feel like time has gone backwards."
Su Mingjue looked at Su Baiyi and shook his head repeatedly: "Too similar, too similar."
"You don't have to call me senior. It's too distant. According to seniority, you should call me uncle." Su Heli said slowly, "Your mother has been close to me since she was a child. I have always treated her like my own daughter."
Su Baiyi felt as if he was struck by lightning. After a long silence, he said, "So Second Palace Master Su Dianmo is really my mother?"
Su Heli nodded and said, "I accompanied your mother during her last days. Before she died, she entrusted you to me. I asked her at the time, whose child was this? She told me that it was her child."
"What about my father?" Su Baiyi asked.
"I asked her who her father was, but she didn't tell me. It was only three months after her death that someone secretly found me. According to rumors, that person should have died a long time ago." Su Heli sighed.
Su Baiyi blurted out: "Thank you for looking at the flowers."
"Yes. Xie Kanhua said that the matter of this child has been known by people in Shanglin Palace, and for some reasons, Ning Qingcheng will kill the child. I asked him what to do, and he said he would take you away." Su Heli glanced at Su Mingjue.
Su Mingjue continued, "After that, Xie Kanhua left. Not long after, a man and a woman came and took you away with Xie Kanhua's token. At first, the man and woman would send back some news about you from time to time, but later, we lost all news of you."
"Uncle Chen and Aunt Qian..." Su Baiyi guessed that the man and woman were his adoptive parents, so Xie Kanhua's rescue of him that year was not a coincidence, and his adoptive parents were actually arranged by Xie Kanhua.
"I have been watching the things between Dian Mo and Master Xie in the early years. However, Dian Mo's character is still a bit introverted. He missed the best opportunity and finally watched Master Xie fall in love with another woman. But in the end, they were still able to be together, and even had you. This can be regarded as one of the less regrettable things in Dian Mo's life." Su Heli sighed lightly.
"But all this can't prove that Xie Kanhua is my father, right?" Su Baiyi still didn't give up.
"Indeed, I asked Master Xie whether this was his child, but he did not answer me. It's just that I know Su Dianmo. Given her personality, once she sets her mind on one person, she will be with that person for the rest of her life. However, since Xie Kanhua is on the mountain, you can find the answer yourself." Su Heli said with a smile.
"We need to sneak into Shanglin Palace." Su Baiyi said in a deep voice.
"There is a secret passage from Wolong Town to the back mountain of Weilong Mountain. This secret passage is only accessible to the inner disciples of the Su family. Even the current Grand Palace Master Ning Qingcheng does not know about it. Entering the Shanglin Palace from the back mountain of Weilong Mountain is not heavily guarded along the way, and it is the most suitable way to sneak in." Su Heli tapped the back of the chair lightly with his fingers.
Su Mingjue threw a token into Su Baiyi's hand.
"With this token, all the Su clan members on the mountain will not make things difficult for you. But for the long-term future of the Su clan, we can only help you up to this point." Su Heli sighed, "Over the years, on the surface, we still control the financial power of Weilong Mountain. But that's only because Bai Jile has no interest in financial power. If he decides to take action, we don't have any chance. It's my incompetence. If any of my brothers from that year were alive, this wouldn't happen."
"If your brother from that year were alive, I'm afraid the Su family would have been gone long ago." Su Ming said unsatisfiedly.
Su Baiyi also nodded and said, "Uncle has endured humiliation and hardship, which is worthy of admiration."
"In Shanglin Palace, Chunfeng Tower will definitely stand on your side, but unfortunately there are only a few disciples left in Chunfeng Tower after these years, and it is all supported by Helian Xiyue. Xing He of Xingxiu Academy is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person either. Jie Kong of Xinglu Academy is a simple and honest man, but because of this, he did not see the dark waves in Xinglu Academy. Qingming Academy and Qianji Academy are purely following interests, and perhaps they can be used." Su Heli said.
"Bai Yi has made note of this." Su Bai Yi clasped his fists.
"This battle is difficult, but your ancestors." Su Heli stood up from the wheelchair, stroked Su Baiyi's head, and said with a smile, "It was because they won one unwinnable battle after another that Weilong Mountain was established. I believe you can do it too."
"Because I'm on top of you."
"I saw Lingyun's spirit."
