Father is not dead

Chapter 76 Father is not dead

"When I found Lao San, he was indeed on the verge of death and had suffered severe injuries. The fighting around us was intense, and I arrived too late to see anyone else besides Lao San. He was unconscious at the time, and I didn't care about anything else but brought him back."

Ye Jingqiu quickly pieced together the whole story in his mind.

The person who was with her mother back then was Ye Chengquan. Bibi Dong had told her that her mother was also a powerful Soul Master.

However, her mother passed away a few years after her birth. It's possible that she wasn't sick but seriously injured and was already on the verge of death. This would explain why a Soul Master who was close to becoming a Title Douluo suddenly died.

Ye Chengquan was taken away by Ye Shiyu and did not go to find her mother, so her mother thought Ye Chengquan was dead. But even so, why didn't Ye Chengquan go to find them later?

"Why didn't he go to find his mother later?" This was what Ye Jingqiu thought and asked.

Ye Shiyu lowered his head and sighed deeply. "It's my fault. I was angry that he ran away and locked him in the dungeon again. He said he wanted to come out, but I didn't allow it. That kid is stubborn and wouldn't tell me the reason no matter what. I got angry and locked him up for ten years until he ran away again four years ago."

Ye Jingqiu frowned. She had never imagined the real reason was like this, but even so, she still wanted to find out. She asked, "So, where is Ye Chengquan now?"

Ye Shiyu shook his head and said, "We don't know either. We've been looking for him ever since he escaped four years later, but maybe because he was caught before, he refuses to show his face now. We don't know where that brat is now."

"Grandpa is sorry for you."

Although the misunderstanding wasn't completely cleared up, she no longer harbored any hostility towards everyone. She looked at them and said, "My name is Ye Jingqiu, which was given to me by my mother. Ye Chengquan wasn't born when I was born. I think my mother still allowed me to have the surname Ye because she loved Ye Chengquan very much."

Ye Jingqiu did not want to call Ye Chengquan "father" until he understood the whole story.

Ye Shiyu nodded heavily, her eyes red as she looked at Ye Jingqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, have you suffered any injustice all these years?"

Ye Jingqiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I haven't been wronged. My mother's name is Bibiqiu."

Ye Shiyu sighed deeply, "Ye Jingqiu, Ye Chengquan, Bibiqiu."

Ye Jingqiu's name clearly expresses Bibi Qiu's deep love for Ye Chengquan in all three characters.

Only Ye Chengjing was stunned and asked, "Qiuqiu, your mother's name is Bibi Qiu. What is her relationship with the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Jingqiu.

Now that things had come to this, Ye Jingqiu was no longer prepared to hide it. She slowly said, "The Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, is my mother's older sister. She is my aunt."

After a pause, Ye Jingqiu turned to look at Ye Shiyu and said, "You don't need to worry. Actually, I haven't suffered any injustice. I grew up in the Spirit Hall. My aunt was very good to me, and everyone in the Spirit Hall was also very good to me."

Hearing this, Lu Si'en clenched her fists. Ye Jingqiu was right; she hadn't suffered any injustice in the Spirit Hall, but she had almost changed her mind twice, just in front of him…

Others were only surprised that Ye Jingqiu was a genius among geniuses who cultivated extremely fast, becoming a Soul Master at the age of thirteen, but Lu Si'en knew the truth in his heart.

Whether in the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall Academy, or the Hall of Offerings, she always put in a hundred or a thousand times more effort than others. Everything Ye Jingqiu has now is what she deserves.

However, Lu Si'en felt that Ye Jingqiu was having a hard time.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fangbin turned his head and looked at the ghost with a shocked expression, saying, "You wouldn't happen to be the agility-type Douluo, Ghost Douluo, from the Spirit Hall, would you?"

Now that Ye Jingqiu has laid his cards on the table, he'll stop pretending.

The ghost nodded and said, "That's right, it's me."

"Is this Chrysanthemum Douluo? It's rumored that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are inseparable."

Yue Guan frowned slightly. What kind of rumors were these? When did he become inseparable from Lao Gui? But he didn't explain or refute them; instead, he nodded.

Lu Fangbin sighed deeply, "I can't believe I didn't notice."

Ye Shiyu stared intently at Ye Jingqiu and said, "Good child, good child, it's good that you weren't wronged. In a while, I will personally go to the Spirit Hall to apologize to His Holiness the Pope. This matter was wrong of our Soul-Seizing Sect. After we find that brat, I will break his legs!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu remained silent. She didn't really care about Ye Chengquan's life or death, after all, so many years had passed and she was no longer the child she once was.

When the village children used to bully her, she always wondered why she didn't have a father. If she did, she wouldn't be bullied. But now she's grown up.

She no longer needs these things; she can protect herself now.

Ye Jingqiu smiled and said, "I will definitely tell my aunt when I get back, and the sect leader is welcome to visit the Spirit Hall at any time."

Ye Shiyu stared blankly at Ye Jingqiu, feeling somewhat sad. In the end, she still didn't want to call him "Grandpa".

But it was indeed him who did this, it was their Soul-Seizing Sect, it was that brat Ye Chengquan who wronged Ye Jingqiu, so what right does he have to make her call him grandpa?

Ye Shiyu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but in the end he said nothing. He glanced at Ye Chengjing and said, "Make proper arrangements. Let Qiuqiu stay in the best room. These are all distinguished guests, so we must not neglect them."

Ye Chengjing nodded vigorously, "Father, don't worry, I understand."

After saying this, Ye Shiyu turned to Ye Chengzhen and said, "Starting today, you will take several elders and go out to search for the whereabouts of the third brother. Spread the word among the Soul-Seizing Sect's spies that his third brother's daughter has arrived."

Ye Chengzhen agreed almost without hesitation, "I understand what you mean, Father."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Jingqiu with a complicated expression and said, "Qiuqiu, don't worry, once your second uncle finds the third brother, I will deal with him first and I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Ye Jingqiu smiled and shook her head. "Thank you everyone, but I really don't feel wronged. I just want to find Ye Chengquan and get some answers."

"I was young when my mother passed away, and I don't remember many things clearly, but I remember that my mother was very good to me. She was very gentle. No matter what, I want to find out what happened. I hope my mother can rest in peace if she knows this in the afterlife."

"Don't overthink it, everyone. I don't mean anything by it. I just want to seek justice for my mother," Ye Jingqiu said, word by word.
