Chapter 836 Heading to the Cemetery
Qingxu reacted indifferently to Lin Zhao's words, as if nothing else could cause him much emotional fluctuation except for the matter of Huang Zhao.

"I hope Young Master Lin Zhao can help Xiao Shu overcome the knot in her heart from back then," Qingxu finally said to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao: "..." This is someone else's family matter, and in principle she should not make a single comment.

However, since it concerned Qu Shu, she had already intervened quite a bit, so she didn't mind saying a few words. Therefore, Lin Zhao replied with some annoyance, "Uncle Qingxu knows better than this junior how to help Qu Shu get out of this knot in her heart."

Whoever created the knot in your heart should be the one to untie it.

Qingxu seemed to regard his own life as something that could repay his guilt and time. As long as he gave his life and soul to Qu Shu, he would repay the years of neglecting Qu Shu and also repay the fatherly love that Qu Shu had missed for so many years.

Lin Zhao declined to comment on this.

The final conversation between the two was far from pleasant.

Lin Zhao's unhappiness stemmed from Qing Xu's attempt to downplay the issue and shift the blame onto her.

Qingxu...

Aside from the matter of Huang Zhao, it was difficult for him to experience such a rare and precious emotion as joy.

After leaving Qingxu's place, Lin Zhao was quite angry. When she met Qu Shu's gaze, Lin Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had only spent less than half a day with Qingxu, and she was already so angered by Qingxu's attitude and a few words. Not to mention Qu Shu, who is more sensitive.

Although Lin Zhao still disagreed with Qu Shu's previous ideas, she could somewhat understand Qu Shu's lack of affection for her parents.

Meeting Lin Zhao's somewhat sympathetic gaze, Qu Shu smiled and shrugged: "This matter isn't too bad, is it?"

If Qingxu and Huangzhao were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers as rumored, Qu Shu felt that this would be the biggest blow to her.

The current situation isn't so bad.

Lin Zhao inexplicably understood the meaning behind Qu Shu's words and immediately retorted, "How is it not too bad? Since I never had any expectations of you, why..."

Are children born into this world without expectations or love merely tools for others?
Before Lin Zhao could finish speaking, Qu Shu interjected, "The vast majority of newborn lives are tools. Parents like yours, who simply hope for and cherish your birth, are a minority."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue.

She had never considered the possibility of getting pregnant and having a child, but one day she might want a child, and that child shouldn't be born for any particular purpose.

In that case, the goal is not achieved, and the birth of this child becomes a painful experience.

Even though Lin Mu's appearance was somewhat beyond Lin Zhao's expectations, Lin Zhao did not intend to place any hopes on Lin Mu.

She just wants her children to live happily and freely in the cultivation world.

Qu Shu walked to her side and said, "I can accept their ideas, so they should be able to accept mine too."

Lin Zhao nodded: "Let's go. Before that, I'll take you to the Ancestral Phoenix Tomb to find the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance and see if we can get rid of the strange situation on you."

Qu Shu asked curiously, "Didn't you also receive the inheritance of the Ancestral Phoenix?"

Lin Zhao said, "I have basically accepted it. There is nothing of particular value to me left in the tomb of the Ancestral Phoenix. If there are any rare treasures, they should not belong to me. They belong to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. When the younger generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan reaches the required cultivation level, I will naturally take them in."

Qu Shu seemed to be deep in thought: "So the reason you're taking me to receive the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance isn't because we're familiar with each other, but because among the Heavenly Phoenixes, I'm the most suitable one to receive the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance?"

Lin Zhao asked in surprise, "Am I really that selfless in your eyes?" Qu Shu: "?"

Lin Zhao waved his hand: "The main reason is definitely because you and I are familiar with each other. As for the remaining things on the Ancestral Phoenix side, I have a good relationship with the younger generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, so it doesn't matter to me who I choose. There is no need to distinguish between close and distant relatives."

Qu Shu followed behind Lin Zhao, and upon hearing this, a sigh of relief slowly escaped her lips.

He stopped thinking about his biological parents.

Lin Zhao's thoughts were also shared by Qu Shu, who first learned the truth.

After going through many reincarnations, Qu Shu saw his biological mother in some of them and questioned her about what she considered him as her son.

Huang Zhao's answer at the time was very simple.

tool.

A tool that can prove she can give birth to a pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenix without the Heavenly Phoenix.

If this tool works well, she will naturally take good care of it and cherish Qu Shu as the apple of her eye.

However, this tool was not only useless, but also brought her endless humiliation and ridicule. So, she naturally discarded this piece of trash like a worn-out shoe.

As for Qingxu, this cycle of reincarnation was the first time Qu Shu learned what kind of person her father was.

I can't quite describe what I'm feeling. Disappointment?
It seems useless.

Having experienced a mother like Huang Zhao, it seems that a father like Qing Xu is not unacceptable. At least Qing Xu is willing to pay some price for what he did back then.

I never expected Lin Zhao's emotional fluctuations to be greater than mine.
“Actually, this is enough.” Qu Shu followed behind Lin Zhao and said, “In this life, you don’t need so many people to care about you. This way, you don’t have to care about so many people. It’s a clean and clear exchange.”

In the previous cycles of reincarnation, no one ever remembered where Qu Shu went in the end.

Every step he takes now is the result of careful planning.

The only person he could never truly understand was Lin Zhao, and her heart.

The two explained the situation to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief. Upon hearing that Lin Zhao was able to open the Ancestral Phoenix Tomb on his own, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

However, when she heard Lin Zhao say that he only planned to bring Qu Shu in to receive the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance, she couldn't help but ask, "Can you bring a few Heavenly Phoenixes in?"

Lin Zhao had anticipated the clan leader's reaction. "This time, Qu Shu and I went in for the sake of the Ancestral Phoenix's inheritance, but it was only half and half. The other half was for the Heavenly Phoenix's Illumination."

Upon hearing this name, most of the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan present stiffened.

"If Huang Zhao had known that the Ancestral Phoenix's Tomb could be opened, she definitely wouldn't have had this opportunity," the Third Elder murmured.

The clan chief gritted his teeth: "Then shall I go in with you?"

Lin Zhao shook his head: "During this period, the clan leader still needs to be in charge of the Tianhuang Clan, because while we wait for other teams to complete their doubles battles, the clan may receive many guests."

Her words were quite meaningful. Based on their time together, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief knew that Lin Zhao was not someone who spoke without reason, so he immediately perked up.

"But you and Qu Shu are a Celestial King and a Quasi-Celestial King, respectively. Huang Zhao is now a Celestial Emperor-level expert. Wouldn't it be dangerous for the two of you to face her alone?"

Lin Zhao glanced into the shadows: "No, outside the Ancestral Phoenix Tomb, there are elders of the Ancient Dragon Clan helping us. Inside the Ancestral Phoenix Tomb... I have a way to deal with her."
