Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 196 Knowing the truth
A century has passed since the arrival of monsters in this world. As the century has gone by, the monsters have become more and more ferocious and rampant.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker, the entire Southern Wilderness would have been destroyed long ago in this disaster in Tiansheng City.

Speaking of the Celestial Maiden Card Maker, who would have thought that a student from an old class at Fengyun Academy would actually be the master they had always admired?
After the war, everyone who knew Xie Yuwei's true identity was filled with regret for not recognizing her.

Xie Yuwei's classmates found it even more unbelievable.

It turns out that they were classmates with the celestial card maker.

This relationship is something they can brag about for a lifetime.

"Oh dear, why didn't I recognize her as the Celestial Card Maker sooner?" a student from the senior class said regretfully.

Why didn't they think of that when Jie Yuwei clearly has a very high talent for card making?
If they had discovered her identity sooner, they could have asked her about card-making.

In fact, Xie Yuwei is usually very generous in giving them pointers, but they don't believe in her abilities and no one listens to her.

Compared to the students' frustration, the teachers and staff of the card-making institute were the ones who were truly filled with regret.

Xie Yuwei is actually the Celestial Card Maker?

The person they admire is actually their student?

If they had discovered her identity sooner, could they have learned her card-making process?

The teachers and staff of the card-making institute felt like they had missed out on a fortune.

The discovery of Jie Yuwei's true identity shocked the entire Tiansheng City, with the five great families being the most unwilling to accept it.

They should have thought of that sooner.

Ever since the cards of the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker appeared in the Card Spirit Hall, Xiang Fei, the personal bodyguard of Marquis Weiyuan, has been traveling back and forth to Tiansheng City.

They had been following him.

It turned out that his direction was Zhoushan Town.

Marquis Weiyuan has been in Tiansheng City for several years. During these years, he has kept a very low profile in Tiansheng City, preferring to be a shopkeeper rather than a marquis.

He returned to Tiansheng City because he helped Xie Yuwei and her two siblings get into Fengyun Academy.

If Xie Yuwei didn't have a special identity, why would Marquis Weiyuan act this way?
Furthermore, when the celestial card maker appeared in Yulin Valley, it was precisely when Xie Yuwei and her two siblings came to study.

Sun Shize had indeed met the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker and was familiar with her.

The three siblings, Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuwei, and Xie Yuwei, always possess the latest cards made by the Celestial Card Maker.

The first Saint-level card created by the Celestial Maiden Card Maker was made in the Card Spirit Hall, where Jie Yuwei was at the time.

The Mercenary Guild released card rewards for the first time when Jie Yuwei was doing her academy training mission.

All signs pointed to Jie Yuwei as the Celestial Card Maker, yet no one ever considered this possibility.

Xie Yuwei is simply too young.

The five families recalled how they had once mobilized five retainers to coerce Marquis Weiyuan, who then sent the man before them, but they could neither identify him nor recognize him.

They felt very stupid.

-

After the beast tide receded, everyone in Tiansheng City was talking about Xie Yuwei.

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei also returned to Tiansheng City.

After Xie Yuwei's identity was exposed, all the major forces in Tiansheng City wanted to visit them, but they were all stopped by Marquis Weiyuan.

In Xie Yuwei's house, Xie Yufei was devastated. She returned to Nanwen Village and learned about everything the villagers had done to Xie Xiaolan.

That very day, she severed ties with the villagers of Nanwen Village, declaring that she would never again concern herself with Nanwen Village.

She left Nanwen Village amidst the regretful gazes of the villagers.

There was nothing or no one left in Nanwen Village that she cherished.

From now on, she will only contact her uncle's family and will return regularly to pay respects to her deceased sister. She will not want to inquire about anything else.

Xie Yufei returned to the mansion with a disappointed heart. She had thought she would see her sister, but instead she was greeted by Marquis Weiyuan.

Upon seeing Marquis Weiyuan, Xie Yufei immediately asked, "Uncle Huang, where is my sister?"

All she wanted to do at that moment was stay by her sister's side.

Marquis Weiyuan sighed as he looked at the brother and sister.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer them.

Seeing his expression, Xie Yuchen asked anxiously, "Where's my sister? Did something happen to her?"

Xie Yufei also looked at Huang Yongqing anxiously.

Huang Yongqing did not hide anything from them; he told them all about Xie Yuwei, including that their mother had met Xie Yuwei.

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei were shocked to hear this.

Are their parents still alive?

They disappeared because they were guarding the key point of the Southern Wilderness Barrier.
If this had happened in the past, they certainly wouldn't have understood their parents and would have resented them.

However, after witnessing firsthand the monsters attacking cities, raiding villages, and killing humans during this beast tide, they had long realized the importance of defensive barriers.

If Tiansheng City hadn't had its defensive barrier, the vast city would have been razed to the ground by the monsters.

If the parents left them because they were guarding the key point of the formation...

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei have let go of their past grievances.

It's just a pity that their older sister is no longer here.

"When is my sister coming back?" Xie Yufei asked.

Will my sister bring back news about our parents this time?

If the parents met the older sister, would they notice anything unusual about her?
Can they accept the older sister?

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei thought about it a lot, and the more they thought about it, the more anxious they became.

Huang Yongqing thought they were worried about their parents and sister, so he comforted them by saying, "The people from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion sent me a message saying that your sister has gone after the Demon King."

"Don't worry, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and your parents will keep an eye on your sister's movements. They will send a message if anything happens."

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei were unconvinced; they didn't really trust the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

If the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were truly that powerful, this beast tide wouldn't have occurred in Tiansheng City.

In the early stages of this beast tide, Xiao Lan relayed messages, while in the mid and late stages, the team relied on her sister's array and cards.

If it weren't for Xiaolan and her sister, the Southern Wilderness would have ceased to exist long ago.

Besides, they weren't very worried about their sister's safety.

Even as family members, they could glean some insight into their sister's mysterious nature.

They felt that with their sister's mysterious abilities, dealing with the Demon King would not be a problem.

Their worry was that their parents would recognize their sister's identity, but wouldn't be able to accept her.

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei tried to contact Xie Yuwei, but after several attempts, their communication cards did not respond, so they knew that Xie Yuwei was far away from them.

"Uncle Huang, if you have any news about my sister, you must tell us!" Xie Yuchen could only say to Huang Yongqing.

Huang Yongqing was surprised by their calm.

He thought that after they learned of Xie Yuwei's whereabouts, they would be worried about her safety.

Although Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei remained calm, Huang Yongqing could still tell that they cared about Xie Yuwei.

He assured them, "Don't worry, I will tell you as soon as I have any news about your sister."
