From every time Qiao An looked at Yao Ling's eyes, I could see something, there must be some kind of relationship between him and Yao Ling. Joan cared very much about Yao Ling, and when I asked this, he didn't seem to be surprised, Joan is a smart person, and he probably guessed that I was going to ask this question.

He also glanced towards the Phoenix Ancient Tower, and he said, "Yao Ling is my daughter!" ”

This answer surprised me a bit, and it seemed to be the only reliable answer I could guess. However, since Yao Ling is Qiao An's daughter, Yao Ling doesn't seem to know this father. I thought, there must be some hidden meaning in this, I looked at Joan and asked, "Your daughter?" ”

Qiao An nodded, and he said: "This was all twenty years ago, and I didn't want to mention it again, but since Xiaofan you asked, I will just talk to you." ”

I said, "Master Qiao, if you have anything unspeakable, don't force it!" ”

Qiao An shook her head slightly and said, "More than twenty years have passed, in fact, there is nothing to hide. Alas...... It's me who is sorry for their mother and daughter, and it's me who has caused them to suffer for more than 20 years! ”

His words made me even more interested in Joan's story, what happened twenty years ago?

"What the hell is going on?" I asked.

Qiao An let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Fan, you should be more curious about my identity, and you can also see that I am a member of this Phoenix clan, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "That's right, what is your relationship with Ah Kun?" ”

Joan thought for a moment, and he continued: "Actually, I am not a close relative with Ah Kun, he is the inner family of the Phoenix Clan, and I am the outer family of the Phoenix Clan. In terms of seniority, he should indeed call me an uncle, and I should call him a nephew. Since you've been to the Phoenix Ancient Tower, you must already know Ah Kun's identity, right? ”

I said, "yes, he's the son of the patriarch of your Phoenix clan, right?" ”

Qiao An said: "That's right, he is indeed the son of the patriarch, Ah Kun's father is named Qiao Qijiang, and he is the leader of the generation of the revitalization of the Phoenix clan, you should also know about the status of the Phoenix clan, we do not belong to the Yin and Yang worlds, and we are above the Yin and Yang worlds, so you should also understand how Ah Kun's father is a great existence." ”

I nodded and said, "I've heard a little about the Phoenix Clan, too. ”

Qiao An continued: "So, the Phoenix Clan also has a clan rule, you can't have any contact with people outside the Phoenix Clan, let alone like an outsider, if you violate the clan rules, the result will be like me." The face will be cut by the Miao knife, and then, the Dao body will be abolished and driven out of the Phoenix Village. However, back then, the patriarch was merciful and remembered my early contribution to the Phoenix clan, and secretly drove me out, but he did not abolish my Dao body. I was reluctant to leave the place of Phoenix Village, a place where I have lived for hundreds of years, so I have always lived in Xizhai and worked as a boatman. ”

It turned out that Qiao An was driven out of Phoenix Village, so he escaped the disaster of the Phoenix clan, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. However, I have already guessed from his words that the person he likes may be Yao Ling's mother, but since he has been kicked out, why didn't he choose to be with Yao Ling's mother?

Joan glanced at me and continued to explain: "That's right, you should have seen her, I really liked her back then, and I had a daughter with her, so I had this result. However, I don't regret it at all, I just hurt their mother and daughter! ”

"Since you're no longer in Phoenix Village, why can't you be with their mother and daughter?" I asked.

"Alas...... I also want to protect them, if the Phoenix clan knows that I like her, according to the clan rules, their mother and daughter will be executed. Therefore, I can only pretend that I don't know their mother and daughter, and I have been watching them from a distance, as long as I can watch them, I will feel at ease. Joan sighed, I really thought that this Joan was an old man, in fact, when I saw his face clearly, he was not that old, at most, even if it was the appearance of this middle-aged man, but he was dressed like an old man.

"What kind of rule is this, so unkind?" I said.

"You may not understand that intermarriage with a foreigner is indeed a taboo, and it is a practice that goes against the way of heaven. If the blood of the Phoenix Clan flows out, it may cause some very terrible results. Of course, if the result is good, there will be a savior like you, and if the result is not good, it may be destruction. Joan said, and his words touched me, and it shook my heart.

That's right, since I was able to break the seal of the Phoenix Ancient Building, it naturally means that I also have the blood of the Phoenix clan in my body.

"Do you know what's going on with that phoenix bloodline in my body?" I tried to ask.

"I don't know this, I was kicked out of Fenghuang Village more than 20 years ago, and I can't even ask about what happened in the village later, so I don't know what happened later. However, since you have the blood of the Phoenix Clan in your body, it means that it should have happened more than twenty years ago, you wait, I'll think about it......" Joan seemed to think of something.

I nodded, not speaking, not wanting to disturb his thoughts.

Qiao An thought for four or five minutes before he asked, "Your father's name is Yang Mingyi, right?" ”

I wondered, "How do you know?" ”

Qiao An replied: "I heard about this from Daochang Shen, I was originally a little curious about your background, so don't be surprised by Xiao Fan." However, your mother's name doesn't even know that Shen Daochang, can you tell me? ”

I nodded and said to him, "My mother's name is Miao Lanjun, have you ever heard of this name?" ”

"Miao Lanjun, this is indeed not an unfamiliar name, but this should not be a member of the Phoenix clan, because our Phoenix clan, whether it is male or female, whether it is male or female, must be surnamed Qiao, and it is impossible to have a second surname. But this name, I seem to have really heard of it, quite familiar! Joan said.

His words made my heart feel a burst of turbulence, my father naturally can't be a member of the Phoenix clan, then the only one who can be a phoenix clan is my mother, which is also the only possible explanation for the blood of the Phoenix clan in my body. However, in Joan's case, it is directly denied from the point of the surname, which is strange.

Could it be that I'm not biological?

But it's not right, many villagers have said that I look a little like my father, and I also have the charm of my mother, and I have a lot of special looks like them. Especially the hair, my mother's hair is yellowish, and my hair is exactly the same as hers, and the double eyelids are also inherited from her.

"Xiaofan, look, will it be like this, if your mother is from the Phoenix clan, and she changed her surname or even her name after leaving Phoenix Village, it is not impossible!" Joan said suddenly.

That's a good explanation, but there's no way to form a definite answer, so I said, "That means my mom might have been called Qiao Lanjun originally?" ”

When I said the name, Joan next to me was stunned.

"Qiao Lanjun, it's her!" Qiao An said involuntarily, "No wonder this name sounds so familiar to me, she is really from the Phoenix clan, and she really changed her surname." ”

There was also a burst of joy in my heart, and Joan's reaction told me that I was very close to the answer, and I hurriedly asked, "Have you really heard of her?" ”

"That's right, it's her, if I don't know Miao Lanjun, I naturally know Qiao Lanjun. It's been a long time since this happened, about forty or fifty years have passed, and I haven't met Yao Ling and his mother at that time. At that time, the old patriarch was still there, the old patriarch had the youngest daughter, who was called Qiao Lanjun, when she was born, there were colorful clouds and auspicious signs in the sky above the Phoenix Ancient Building of the Phoenix Village. The old patriarch liked this little daughter very much, but one day this little daughter disappeared, and she found her in many places, she was only a five-year-old baby at the time, and she went to the Wutong Forest and had her own phoenix with the same fate, and it was also a colorful phoenix, which was spread all over the Phoenix Village at that time. The old patriarch even intended to let this little daughter be the patriarch of the future Phoenix clan, and the old patriarch even put all the bets on her, but an accident happened one day later! Joan said.

"What happened?" I asked.
