Chapter 73: He Zhao’s Background

Jiang Yun had restricted their range of movement. They could only move within the barrier and could not enter the waters where he lived. He was afraid that they would do something unforgivable to his grandmaster’s tombstone.

When that time came, Jiang Yun was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would do something terrible to them. If his disciples were missing an arm or a leg, they would probably betray them.

Outside the barrier was an endless blizzard, and inside the barrier was the Mount God of Heaven, which was as warm as spring. Seeing the three of them chasing and playing on the grass, creating one hole after another on the ground, Jiang Yun smiled like a father.

As long as they didn’t come over, he wouldn’t be angry even if that place was overturned. Really, he wasn’t angry at all.

Unlike the relaxed and happy atmosphere on the Mount God of Heaven, the He family’s atmosphere in Thunder City was very depressing.

Their family head personally led their young master and eight elite inner sect disciples to annihilate a small and unknown sect. Unexpectedly, there were heavy casualties. Only the sect leader’s primordial spirit escaped back in a terribly bad state.

“What did you say?” He Cangming looked at Qin Mingzhu maliciously. His hands were clenched into fists, and blue veins popped out.

“Family head, now that He Junjie is dead, if you still want to maintain your relationship with Qin Island, let me marry He Zhao.” Qin Mingzhu looked straight into He Cangming’s dark eyes and said firmly.

“My son just died, and you can’t wait to marry He Zhao. Do you have any respect for the He family?” He Cangming shouted angrily and stood up abruptly. He slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair, and the sturdy wooden chair instantly turned into powder and dispersed.

Qin Mingzhu flinched a little, but she still said firmly,

“What if I insist?” Before she came, He Zhao had told her that he was in a difficult situation in the He family. Previously, He Cangming and He Junjie had wanted to get rid of him because he used to be a member of the Yu family. They were afraid that he would betray them.

Qin Mingzhu had been staying with He Zhao when He Cangming and the others went out. Naturally, she had encountered a series of carefully arranged accidents that He Cangming had designed for He Zhao.

From the food mixed with the bewitching grass to the intentional provocation of the inner sect disciples, to finally using hidden weapons and poisons in close combat on the martial arts stage. When Qin Mingzhu saw He Zhao suddenly lose consciousness on the stage, her heart almost stopped beating.

In the end, she directly rushed onto the stage and took He Zhao away under the hostile gazes of the disciples. She didn’t dare to let him go alone and directly took him to her own courtyard to take good care of him.

He Zhao had just woken up, so he was first confused about his coma. When Qin Mingzhu told He Zhao about what she had found out, his face was full of disbelief. he even defended that family head wasn’t that kind of person.

Qin Mingzhu’s heart ached so much that she lost her trust on family head. He Zhao was silent for a long time, and his entire face was hidden in the darkness. It was so long that Qin Mingzhu thought he wouldn’t say anything more, so he said in a hoarse voice, “I always thought that I had escaped from the Yu family and joined the He family so I can become an inner sect disciple. I had the hope of fighting for the position of family head. I was not interested in these things, but the family head had secretly found me and said,” He Zhao choked on his words and said in a nasal voice, “he said that Junjie’s talent is outstanding, so his temperament still needs to be tempered. My talent is not worse than Junjie’s. He hopes that I can pretend to be an enemy of Junjie. With the position of the family head as my goal, I can motivate Junjie.”

“When the time comes, if He Junjie becomes a good man, the position of the He family’s elder will belong to me. If he is really embarrassed by his great responsibility, then let him go to a large sect to cultivate. During this period of time, he wants me to temporarily take the position of the family head, eliminate the enemies in Thunder City, and pave the way for He Junjie.”

“At that time, I felt that family head not only saved me from the misery, but also gave me a heavy responsibility. He valued me very much, and I was grateful in my heart. I also always followed his instructions. I didn’t expect, didn’t expect…”

He Zhao could no longer speak. He hugged the blanket and hid in a corner.

Seeing this, Qin Mingzhu could no longer stop her loving heart. She came to He Zhao, hugged his head, and comforted him, “He is an evil man, there is no need for us to be kind as well. You’ll become the He family head, and I will do my best to help you!”

“Mingzhu…” He Zhao was moved and raised his head.

When Qin Mingzhu found out that He Cangming was the only one who escaped, she felt that the heavens were helping her.

The marriage between the He family and Qin Island was inevitable, but He Junjie was dead, and He Cangming had no other children. Then her husband would be chosen from the He family, and the person they chose would be the future head of the He family.

As long as she took the initiative to ask for permission from Qin Island to let her marry He Zhao, they would not disagree die to their guilt. As for He Cangming, he did not have the right to refuse.

He Cangming obviously knew the current situation. If his cultivation had not been greatly damaged, he could still influence some of the higher-ups of the He family. At the very least, he could delay the marriage until he thought of a solution.

But now, he was afraid that there was nothing he could do to change the situation. He Cangming suppressed his anger and thought of his subordinate’s report on He Zhao and Qin Mingzhu’s words and actions when they were together. He thought of something, and his expression softened slightly. He asked Qin Mingzhu, “What kind of person do you think He Zhao is?”

“He has feelings and righteousness. Although he has experienced hardships, he still has a pure heart. He is the most gentle and considerate.”

Although Qin Mingzhu was a little curious as to why He Cangming would ask such a question, she still answered honestly. This was the He Zhao in her heart. It was unbelievably perfect.

“Hahahahaha, do you really think that you know He Zhao? You will believe whatever he says. Do you really think that a person who has been abused by the master can grow from an infant to a Psychic Realm cultivator unscathed? If there really is such a person, what kind of person do you think he is?”

He Cangming laughed and mocked her. What a stupid woman. She was easily deceived by love and sweet words.

“No, He Zhao is different. He is such a good person. You are just jealous that he is more outstanding than your son.” Qin Mingzhu did not allow anyone to slander He Zhao in front of her and retorted.

He Junjie was He Cangming’s bottom line, a forbidden topic that could not be mentioned. He Cangming immediately pulled a long face because of Qin Mingzhu’s words and no longer restrained himself when he spoke, “He Zhao, Bah! Yu Zhao is just an animal that is inferior to my son, yet he is not worthy of being compared to my son. He was raised by the Yu family to the Dharma Realm and became the number one outer sect disciple of the Yu family, second only to the head of the Yu family. However, it was precisely because he was an outer disciple that he was unable to become the head of the Yu family. Yu Sisi had the bloodline of the Yu family. Even if her talent and cultivation were inferior to his, she was still the chosen head of the Yu family.”

He Cangming directly exposed He Zhao’s background, “Thus, when I told him that when he came to our He family to be an inner disciple, he would have the opportunity to fight for the position of the head of the family. He happily offered up the entire Yu family with both hands as a pledge of allegiance. He is an ingrate!”
