Chapter 581: The Storm is Coming
After being tired of talking to Shen Huan for a while, as Xi Shi's knock sounded, Shen Huan had to say goodbye first.
"My dad is a little prejudiced against you right now...... It's a pity that I don't have much memory of the past, otherwise I might have been able to come up with something more convincing to persuade him......
Qi Xu was very sorry.
Of course, she knew that Qi Yumo was for her good, so she couldn't ignore the harm caused to her by the things Shen Huan did back then, so she couldn't complain about Yu Mo.
But since she will still identify Shen Huan as a person after amnesia, then she will not give up so easily because of Qi Yumo's obstruction, of course, she will not let this matter become a "thorn" that affects her relationship with Qi Yumo, no matter what kind of contradiction it is, there will always be a day when it can be resolved.
"It's okay, compared to the time when I couldn't hear from you and couldn't see you, I'm very satisfied with this state now, at least your father didn't stop me from seeing you......
When Shen Huan said this, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"For the time being...... I've wronged you......
"Don't be wronged," Shen Huan smiled indifferently, "Okay, I'll go back first, you go to dinner quickly, don't make them wait!"
After speaking, he took the lead in opening the door, but fortunately he reacted in time to not let Xi Shi, who was lying on the door trying to eavesdrop on the movement inside, bumped into him.
"Oh...... Hehehe, I'm ...... No one opened the door, so I thought it was ...... inside."
Xi Shi, who didn't expect Shen Huan to suddenly open the door, suddenly looked embarrassed, and forced a smile to try to erase this embarrassment.
"I've kept you waiting, I'll go back first, and I'll contact me if there's anything!"
Shen Huan's words were not only said to Qi Xu, but also to Xi Shi, who had been in contact with him for a long time.
"Yes, brother-in-law......
Qi Xu didn't say anything yet, but Xi Shi answered first, which made Qi Xu's ears warm for a while.
Although she really hoped that her relatives could admit Shen Huan, being shouted by Xi Shi made her feel overwhelmed.
After Shen Huan left, she went to Qi Yumo's room with Xi Shi, because his room was the largest, and it was also a suite, with a separate restaurant, so usually several people discussed and solved the three meals by the way in this room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Qi Yumo, Xi Rong, Qin Jianshu, Xi Li, Xi Ting, and Xi Qian were all there, and it was rare for people to gather so together, which made her feel strange.
"Come on in!"
Xi Rong was busy with a few juniors to put the food ordered from outside on the table, and just when she turned her head, she saw her and Xi Shi walking from the end of the corridor, and seemed to look a little hesitant, so she beckoned.
"Okay, I'll help!"
Originally, it was just an ordinary home-cooked meal, but when she saw the small crispy pork and another sweet and sour pork rib that didn't look very authentic not far from her location, her nose suddenly became sour.
No matter how many years have passed, and no matter how many things have happened over the years, Qi Yumo has never forgotten her taste for this daughter, although it is only a trivial matter, and now the conditions are limited, Qi Yumo can do this to the point that she has actually completely taken her to heart.
"It's rare that everyone is here today, and there are no outsiders, so you don't have to be too restrained, the conditions are limited, so let's make do with it."
Compared with Qi Yumo's one-sided eyes and few words in front of people, Qin Jianshu is obviously much gentler and more active, and when he sees that everyone is here, he greets and starts the meal.
In the past, Xixi should have been pampered in the clan, and these rough-looking meals were obviously not to her liking, she only ate a few bites and slowed down her eating, but because Qi Yumo and Qin Jianshu were eating seriously, she had to stuff a few more mouthfuls into her mouth.
"I believe you all know about the situation outside, so I won't say much, but when the sky falls, a few of our elders will stand on it, so you don't have to worry too much, but at this juncture, I don't want to be exploited by people who are eyeing you because of any of you's impulsive and reckless actions!"
Qi Yumo said and looked around at everyone for a week, and his tone returned to ease again.
"It doesn't matter to outsiders
No matter how we evaluate, we have only one purpose, that is, to let the truth of that year be openly recognized, so that our people can be upright and not be treated differently by the world."
"Maybe you think I'm doing it for my own selfishness, I admit, who doesn't want to be reunited with their family and live together as a family? Nearly a thousand years have passed, and now there is only one of us and the two races that exist completely in seclusion, and the only ones we can trust are each other, but the contradictions of a thousand years ago are not brought over in a word, there is always a step, and this step is ...... Reveal the truth to the world!"
This is the common wish of the two clans, and it is also a prerequisite for Qi Xu's grandfather to accept Qi Yumo before his death, even if he has identified this son-in-law in his heart, but if it is just like this, it is difficult to block the mouths of Youyou.
"But what does an old dilapidated ship prove?"
Xi Shi was used to being bold in front of Qi Yumo, so he asked the doubts in his heart, which was also what Qi Xu and Xi Xi were puzzled by.
"According to the information we have found, thousands of years ago, the eight hermit families each lived in a corner and occupied an island to live independently, and the Huan tribe because they are good at making utensils, the best water, and the island where they are located is long and narrow, so they took on the task of the security of the eight tribes, not only to prevent the prying eyes of the world, but also to prevent the invasion of other indigenous people in the surrounding area...... 」
As he spoke, his gaze became distant.
"Wouldn't the Huan Clan just say yes?"
Although it was all a thousand years ago, Qi Xu didn't believe that the Huan clan, as one of the eight major families, would be a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"If you don't agree, the Huan clan will bear the brunt, and it will be difficult for the Huan clan to deal with the huge secular world with the strength of the Huan clan at that time......
After Qi Xu finished asking, Qi Yumo immediately looked at her with an inescapable gaze, as if hinting at her-
The Huan clan is not stupid, if the Huan clan does not want to be the first to be attacked, they must make a certain compromise, and if the Huan clan makes a villain's decision in such a situation, then the Huan clan will be the sinner of the other seven clans...... Even so, can she still firmly identify with Shen Huan and get along with Shen Huan calmly?
"I believe that the Huan clan has not done anything that violates the faith of the eight clans, otherwise it would not be the four and a half hidden families that are thriving now."
Qi Xu naturally heard that this was Qi Yumo deliberately testing her attitude, but she trusted Shen Huan, and she also trusted that the Huan clan behind him would not do something treacherous, besides, even if the Huan clan really made any wrong choice, it was more because of the consideration of the leader at that time for the safety of the whole clan, could it be that after a thousand years, it could still become a chasm that affected her and Shen Huan together?
Not to mention anything else, just because her parents can break through all kinds of obstacles together, they have endured enough of the suffering of "feud", and as parents, they naturally do not want their children to suffer the same hardship again.
"It's true that they didn't really do anything treacherous, but due to the safety of the whole clan and the pressure of the secular world, they still agreed to retreat some of the guards in advance when the secular world attacked the eight islands, and kept it a secret from the other seven clans...... However, because there was an agreement between the eight clans in advance, and there was also a distance between the islands, on the eve of the attack in the secular realm, the Huan clan sent a fast boat to secretly greet the other seven clans in advance......
"Isn't that the clipper the ancient ship that's been talked about now?"
Xi Shizui asked quickly, and others, including the young people of Qi Xu, also looked in the direction of Qi Yumo, obviously all of them thought so.
"That's right, but the ancient ship wasn't around here in the first place, and we took advantage of the birth of the island of Hauvignon and the associated forces to pull the ancient ship here."
"Is there really enough evidence on the ancient ship to prove the truth back then?"
Qi Xu asked with some uncertainty.
Although she knew that Qi Yumo was trying to use the matter of the ancient ship to build momentum and finally reveal the truth of the year, if there was only the ancient ship itself, I am afraid it would not be convincing enough, even if the ancient ship was true, the matter had passed for thousands of years, and if there was not enough evidence for some things, the semi-hidden family headed by the Ling clan
Neither the clan nor the secular world will admit that, besides, there are things that can be forged.
"It's true that there isn't enough evidence, but it's not completely absent," Yu Mo said, his gaze turned to Xi Rong, "The ancient ship is an introduction, the purpose is just to confuse their minds, the real evidence is in the Black Forest, which is also the entrance for our two clans to leave the secular world and go to the hidden world."
"Black Forest?"
This time Xu was shocked again, thinking that she had been taken to the Black Forest by Yu Jing not long ago, and immediately couldn't help but speak.
"It's just one of the entrances," Xi Rong hurriedly explained to her, "There is also an entrance on the sea that is also an exit, but because the sea changes relatively frequently, it will take us more perception to return to the clan from the sea, and it is completely unnecessary."
"What is the evidence in the Black Forest......
"Shhhhhh
As soon as he was halfway through the question, Xi Li's voice was stopped, and he quietly got up and walked to the direction of the door, his body almost against the door and quietly listened to the sound outside.
Half a minute later, I saw him return from the door again, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Although the staff of the inn are still insured, some things are not absolute, and there are still a few rooms downstairs where the guests are from out of town, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to inquire about the news, so it is not appropriate for us to continue to talk about it for the time being."
"Then let's do it today, you also go back early to rest, the online saying is nothing more than that, don't pay too much attention, the most important thing is tomorrow morning."
Qi Yumo nodded and began to catch people away.
Although there are some regrets, there is no other way to do it, so I can only wait for the opportunity to learn more about it later.
