Douluo Continent: After my true feelings were exposed, I was forced to become the group's darli

Yu Shui's state was truly perplexing, and Ning Shu knew in her heart that the matter that made Yu Shui so hesitant was obviously very important to the original Ning Shu, and this matter was very likely to affect some changes in relationships, otherwise Yu Shui would not have made such a concealment.

Ning Shu frowned, puzzled: "Father, if this matter concerns my biological parents, you should tell me even more. I want to know about them and find them. If you keep it from me, it's unfair to me."

"..."

Since Ning Shu had said that, Yu Shui knew that if she continued to hide it, it was only a matter of time before it was too late.

Ning Li's sudden intervention caught him completely off guard.

Yu Shui sighed and said, "Your parents have indeed passed away. I didn't know how to tell you this, so I was planning to wait a few days until I understood the situation better. But since you've brought it up today, it seems like I can't just stay silent."

Is that all?

Ning Shu asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Shui naturally knew which sentence her question was referring to. Yu Shui said, "The news of your parents' passing only came recently. Seventh Uncle has been helping you find your biological parents. When I found you in the Star Dou Great Forest, I didn't know you were from the Huanling clan, nor did I know why you were there. But at the time, your condition wasn't good, and I was worried something might happen to you, so I took you away. I only found out later that your parents had gone to many places to look for you, but they couldn't find you. Day after day, year after year, some time ago, they were in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

He choked up at this point, unsure how to continue.

Ning Shu's intuition told her that this was not good news.

What happened to them in the Star Dou Great Forest?

But she couldn't help but hold onto hope and asked the question.

Yu Shui lowered his head: "The scouts reported that they were killed by the soul beasts."

"What?" Ning Shu was taken aback.

Killed by a soul beast?

"How can you be sure that they are my biological parents?" Ning Shu asked.

Yu Shui looked up under Ning Shu's gaze, her eyes falling on the sandalwood box Ning Li had brought: "Inside, there is a token."

A token?

Ning Shu frowned and hurriedly opened the sandalwood box.

Inside was a jade pendant.

The jade pendant has bell patterns, exactly the same as her martial spirit.

Yu Shuidao said, "This is a token of the Huanling clan."

After saying that, he took out an identical jade pendant from his pocket and placed it on the stone table: "This one is the one you were holding in your hand when I found you."

Ning Shu reached out and picked up the jade pendant. The two jade pendants were placed on top of each other and found to be identical.

Her eyes flickered slightly: "Why is that thing in Ning Li's hands?"

Yu Shui shook her head: "I'm not entirely clear about this matter. I'm still waiting for news from Uncle Qi."

"..."

Ning Shu held the jade pendant, feeling that something was amiss.

Why did her parents both search for her in the same place?

Doesn't that sound ridiculous?

Moreover, the Huanling clan members are all quite strong. The original owner of this body was naturally gifted, so her parents must have been quite capable as well. In addition, she lived in the Tiandou Imperial Palace when she was young, so her parents must have some kind of relationship with the Tiandou royal family. How could they be so stupid as to search for their daughter in the same place year after year?

Is this news reliable or not?

Ning Shu looked down at Yu Shui: "Father, do you really not know what happened?"

Yu Shui shook her head: "I don't know."

Ning Shu looked away and didn't ask any further questions.

According to this news, Yu Shui is most likely blaming himself for taking her away without permission, but this whole thing is absurd and abnormal.

"Where is Seventh Grandfather?" Since this is something Ning Qi wants to investigate, it would be better to find Ning Qi.

Yu Shui: "Seventh Uncle is still out and won't be back for a while."

"..."

Not here.

Ning Shu put away the jade pendant: "I understand."

"Ah Shu..."

Seeing Ning Shu's reaction, Yu Shui couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's all his fault, making Ning Shu suffer so much that she shouldn't have to.

Ning Shu sighed and put her hand on Yu Shui's shoulder: "Father, I don't blame you at all. I know you do everything for my own good. You don't need to blame yourself. Even if my biological parents really died as you said, it has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for you, I would have died many years ago."

"Ah Shu..."

Yu Shui still felt that she was useless.

Ning Shu patiently persuaded her for a while. In her heart, she also felt that it was not a big deal. Life is unpredictable. As long as no one deliberately killed her biological parents, she could accept this fact calmly.

Yu Shui felt guilty because he felt he hadn't taken good care of Ning Shu. If he had known from the beginning that Ning Shu was a member of the Huanling clan, he probably wouldn't have brought her back.

Even if they are raised outside, it is better than the infighting within a major sect.

After being comforted by her daughter, Yu Shui felt even more guilty.

Ning Shu was also helpless, but this time, she thought things might not be so simple.

So she sent a letter back to the Spirit Hall by carrier pigeon, telling Guangling what she knew.

The moment Guangling received the letter, she and Qingluan began to analyze it together, and then set off to help Ning Shu find out the truth about the matter.

Half a month later, in the backyard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Shu sat on a stone bench wearing a white dress, holding a letter in her hand. Her dress trailed on the ground, making her look like a fairy who lived in seclusion.

The letter came from Guangling.

The content, naturally, is about the Huanling Clan.

The Phantom Bell Clan disappeared completely many years ago due to a natural disaster. Although it was a natural disaster, some people speculated that it was also caused by human factors, since the existence of the Phantom Bell Clan did have some influence on the continent's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the continent).

Of course, this is just hearsay and speculation; no one can prove that the natural disaster was man-made.

The Huanling clan had intermarried with the royal family for generations, but this rule naturally became invalid after the clan was wiped out.

However, Ning Shu happened to have lived in the Tian Dou Imperial Palace when she was very young, and she also knew Qian Renxue, which clearly shows that she has some connection with the Tian Dou royal family.

To find out what was going on, Guangling even made a special trip to see Qian Renxue.

From Qian Renxue, he learned that Ning Shu was born in the Tian Dou Imperial Palace. Her mother was a commoner, and her father was the chief guard in the palace. The reason she stayed in the Tian Dou Imperial Palace was because her mother had a past relationship with the empress at the time. She was an exception.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Ning Shu recalled what Yu Shui had said and felt increasingly uneasy.

Those words are just nonsense.

Her father was the chief guard of the Heaven Dou royal family, and her mother was just a commoner. How could they possibly spend all their time in the Star Dou Great Forest...?
