"What do you say?" Bai Nan asked curiously.

"My mother left when Ling'er was just one year old. Zhang Muge whispered.

"Ah!" Bai Nan was shocked, no wonder he had never talked about the hostess of the Zhang family, "I'm sorry, I don't know, you didn't ask me." ”

When Bai Nan said this, Zhang Muge was strange, and after a long time, her beautiful eyes glared, and then she laughed softly: "What do you want, my mother is still alive and well." ”

Bai Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a little embarrassed: "Then how did you say that you left." ”

"It's gone, literally. Zhang Muge said angrily.

Bai Nan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I thought too much, you continue." ”

Zhang Muge continued: "At the beginning, my father was also ambitious and unwilling to stay on Ash Island for the rest of his life, so when he was young, he also ran away from home and went to the Kyushu continent. ”

"I don't see it. Bai Nan was slightly surprised, in his opinion, Zhang Daotian was an extreme believer in the Divine Tree, the kind of person who could stay on the island for the sake of the Divine Tree without regrets for the rest of his life.

Speaking of which, Ling Er is very similar to her father in this regard. Zhang Muge chuckled.

Bai Nan thought about it, it was really like this, since Bai Nan got on the Zhang family's fishing boat, Zhang Ling has been pestering him to tell him the story on the Kyushu mainland, with a yearning look, if he can sneak away, Bai Nan can still believe it.

"My father met my mother when he was traveling, and then he took her home and got married. It is said that the grandfather was strongly opposed, because his father had a marriage contract and was a young lady of the Xia family, which was a good time for the two families to get married. Zhang Muge said.

No wonder he was so familiar with writing marriage contracts, it turned out to be experienced. Bai Nan secretly thought in his heart.

"The young lady who was rejected by my father at the beginning is not married yet, maybe this is why the Xia family is willing to cooperate with the Han family to deal with us. Zhang Muge sighed.

Bai Nan nodded, Zhang Daotian lost other people's women, and it made people wait so hard for him, so it's no wonder that there is no resentment in his heart.

"And then?" asked Bai Nan.

Later, the people of the mother's family came, and those people wanted to forcibly take away the mother, and the father had a conflict with the people of the mother's family in order to keep the mother, and the grandfather died, and the master of the clan suffered heavy casualties, and the father was also seriously injured, and the cultivation stagnated, and the Zhang family almost collapsed. Zhang Muge's expression was gloomy, and his tone was full of grief and indignation.

Bai Nan suddenly felt in his heart, he had also doubted that since the Zhang family was the oldest family on Ash Island, why was its strength so weak now, and it seemed that there were few masters who could take it.

"It seems that your mother's family is not simple. Bai Nan sighed, being able to easily defeat the Zhang family at that time was also a second-rate force.

Zhang Muge nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "It should be, but I don't know, since then, my father has never mentioned this matter, and he has issued a gag order, and no one in the clan can mention it again." ”

"Then how do you know?" Bai Nan was curious, it was said that Zhang Ling was only about a year old at that time, and Zhang Muge was not old enough.

Zhang Muge glanced up at him, his eyes were already red at this time, there was anger and sadness, "How do you know it's not important, important things, after I learned the news, I asked my father to confirm, but he never admitted it." ”

"He may have been afraid of today's situation. Bai Nan sighed, he can quite understand Zhang Daotian at this point, the Zhang family is already very weak, and they have just recovered, and Zhang Muge's sister and brother, to be honest, are not geniuses, if they want to seek revenge from their mother's family, I am afraid that they will be sent to death, not to mention that it is her mother's clan after all.

"Yes. Zhang Muge said: "But I'm still annoyed with him, annoyed that he didn't tell me things, annoyed that he took all the pain himself." ”

Her shoulders trembled, and she forced herself to cry, and her tears had slipped unconsciously.

Bai Nan suddenly thought of what she had just said that she felt even more distressed about Zhang Daotian.

"Then you know the truth of this matter now, are you willing to tell Zhang Ling?" Bai Nan asked suddenly.

Zhang Muge was stunned for a moment, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he lowered his head and whispered: "I don't know." ”

"Look, aren't you the same?"

"This is different, Ling Er is impulsive and knows the truth, I am afraid that he will leave Ash Island that day and go to those people to take revenge. Zhang Muge retorted.

Bai Nan was silent and did not continue to comfort, after all, there was no right or wrong in this matter.

......

Zhang's living room.

The head of the Han family knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

Beside him, Han Yunfei, the young master of the Han family, was still lying on the ground pretending to be faint, without moving.

The Great Elder sat in the first place, drinking the hot tea handed over by Zhang Daotian, and he didn't seem to notice the two people on the ground.

"Great Elder, do you see if you let Brother Han get up first. Zhang Daotian asked cautiously on the side.

Although he dared to say that Qingyunmen was not behind his back, and even dared to do it, when he saw the Great Elder himself, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

In front of him and this big man, when he was still a little child, he was already famous throughout Ash Island, and it was because of his worship that he resolutely left Ash Island.

The Great Elder glanced at him and said, "Are you still resentful of us about that back then?"

Zhang Daotian shook his head and said, "No, I figured it out afterwards, the other party is powerful, if Qingyunmen intervenes, I'm afraid it will only make me regret it even more." ”

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Ash Island is originally the area under the jurisdiction of Qingyunmen, and other forces came here to rob people and kill people, and it should have been my Qingyunmen people to take action, but ...... Qingyunmen owes you this matter, and it was proposed to compensate you afterwards, but you are stubborn and unwilling to accept it. ”

"That was the disaster I caused to my family, how can I accept compensation. Zhang Daotian smiled bitterly.

The Great Elder pointed at him and said, "Saying that you are stubborn, I really didn't wronged you at all. ”

Zhang Daotian was silent.

The Great Elder looked at the head of the Han family on the ground and said lightly, "Get up." ”

The head of the Han family thanked him again and again, and staggered to his feet, he knelt for a long time, and his legs were unstable.

"The idea of the White Oak Divine Tree, don't fight it, although our Han family is a foreign family, but we have also lived on this island for hundreds of years, and we still have to abide by the rules that should be followed. And this tree is indeed magical, maybe it really is like a legend. The Great Elder said lightly.

The head of the Han family hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I will hand over the Han family's annex as the entrance to the development of the spirit mine." ”

Zhang Daotian looked at the Great Elder with admiration, what he had not done with all his efforts before, was given by the Great Elder so easily.

The person in front of him was still as he remembered when he was a child, fair and just, and he said the same.

"The Han family has indeed made great progress in the past few years under your control, and you have ambitions, which is a good thing. The Great Elder continued.

"Don't dare, this is what juniors should do. The head of the Han family hurriedly said.

"Nothing to be humble. The Great Elder said: "To do well is to do well, but sometimes ambition is no different from greed, the key is a degree." ”

The head of the Han family felt a chill on his back, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"And you just didn't take charge of this degree, I can understand the fact that you coerced the Zhang family, after all, the development between the families will inevitably have this kind of thing. The Great Elder said coldly, "However, you shouldn't know that Bai Nan is the chief disciple of my Qingyun Sect, and you still have greed in your heart. The affairs of Ash Island will be handed over to the Zhang family to take over in the future. ”
