Chapter 58: The Past of the Sect (2)
In the memories of Gao Yuanshan and Otowa, neither of them had ever seen Su Mu with such a tough attitude.
They also understood that when Su Mu made up his mind to do something, there was no possibility of changing it.
Otowa felt a little frozen at the moment, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
Su Mu and Gao Yuanshan are the two closest people in her life, and the conflict between these two really makes her a little dilemma.
"Hey, what am I thinking, I know your child's temper better than anyone else. Gao Yuanshan's eyes were a little lonely, which made Su Mu feel a little heartache when he looked at it.
When he was chatting, Su Mu had time to take a good look at the master he hadn't seen for three years, and the master was thinner and weaker than before.
The time of small talk was not too long, Gao Yuanshan's cough almost never stopped, and there were many more wrinkles and markings on his face.
When he faced off against Ruan Qishen, he seemed to be more energetic.
The master is wholeheartedly good to Su Mu, of course Su Mu knows it in his heart, and Su Mu also knows very well that Gao Yuanshan's thoughts are also for the safety of the sect.
But Su Mu really couldn't accept such an approach.
Obviously, he had already agreed to the agreement, but he had to regret it and even do some harmful things to cover up people's eyes, which was somewhat contrary to some of the things that Su Mu had always insisted on.
For Su Mu, the sinister butterfly fairy of the rivers and lakes had taught him, and he was not completely ignorant. But Su Mu thinks that it is mainly to have an extra eye to guard against others, rather than taking the initiative to harm for his own interests.
Every child has fantasized about what they will look like when they grow up, and little Su Mu is no exception.
Su Mu has his own chivalry in his heart, and he also has his own rivers and lakes, which is one of the few insistences in his narrow world.
So right now, he is also in a dilemma.
It may be safer for the sect to follow Master's approach, but it will go against his own heart, and he doesn't want to harm others, but he doesn't want to hurt Master.
As if seeing the embarrassment in Su Mu's heart, Gao Yuanshan suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Su Mu's mixed thoughts.
"Mu'er, do you know why I proposed to let you take over when you were ten years old?"
"I don't know. Su Mu and Otoyu glanced at each other and shook their heads.
To be honest, Su Mu himself had no interest in the head of the house, he longed for that kind of unfettered freedom, if he became the head of the house, there would be many restrictions, and the master should also know that his character was.
This has always been a mystery that haunts Su Mu's heart.
"I know you, kid. Growing up, I didn't communicate with anyone other than Otowa. You love only two things, the sword and the scenery of heaven and earth. You are born to belong to the mountains, rivers and seas, not to the ancestral temples, I understand all this. ”
Gao Yuanshan suddenly opened the conversation, and also stood up and talked eloquently.
"But Master really can't help it, you have too much talent and potential in you, I can't sit idly by. Just like your father. ”
Finally made up his mind to open this topic, Gao Yuanshan had a relieved expression.
"My father?" Su Mu's eyes widened, Gao Yuanshan had never mentioned his parents to him since he was a child, only that he was an orphan, and now listening to his tone, it seemed that he was still very familiar with his father, which made Su Mu very shocked.
"Yes, your father, Suke, is my first personal disciple. ”
Because the weather was already very cold, there was no sound of insects, birds and animals chirping in the cold mountain, only the sound of the drizzle outside the window was still tirelessly knocking on the eaves.

"Brother Mu's father is also a disciple of Master?" Otowa couldn't restrain himself from exclaiming.
"But Master, you never mentioned it to me? Didn't you say that my parents were..."
"It's true that you're dead, and I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to take revenge for your parents to heart, and wanted to give you a carefree childhood. Gao Yuanshan's tone was full of emotion, "Although I don't know who your parents were victimized by, it must be a terrible force in the rivers and lakes, and I really can't bear to put such a weight on a baby." ”
Gao Yuanshan trembled and bowed down, and saluted Su Mu and said, "I'm sorry, Mu'er, I've been hiding from you for so long." ”
Su Mu's heartstrings, which have always been unwavering, are being frantically plucked at the moment, for him, his parents and relatives have always been a hurdle in his heart that cannot be overcome.
Originally, I thought that Lingxi was my own mother, and the excitement and anticipation are still fresh in my memory.
At present, Gao Yuanshan told his father's true identity, and the huge impact suddenly made him a little confused, and he even forgot to let his master get up quickly.
"Then Master, my father, he..." Su Mu had many things in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he had to start with the most monotonous and profound question.
"What kind of person is he?"
"Your dad is very similar to you. Gao Yuanshan stood up straight and raised his head, as if he was recalling something, "Integrity, kindness, talent, and amazing talent." Before your elder brother Li Encheng, the last person to reach the Star Hanging Realm at the age of sixteen was your father, Su Ke. ”
"What about my mother, she is also a disciple of the sect?" Su Mu couldn't wait to ask the doubts in his heart.
"No, your mother is the woman your father met when he went down the mountain to practice, and after the two got married, they also returned to the sect for a short period of time, and she is a female chivalrous guest with a tough personality. Gao Yuanshan said, "The jade pendant you carry with you seems to have been left to you by your mother." ”
"Master, when I was healing in Butterfly Valley, Aunt Lingxi, who helped us before, left a letter to me, saying that she and my mother are sworn sisters, what is going on? Who is she?"
Su Mu suddenly remembered this past in his mind.
"I don't know about this, I only know that it was your Aunt Lingxi and her guards who sent you back to the sect when you were still in infancy. She told me that your parents had died, and she left your mother's jade pendant. That's when I told me to go to her whenever you needed help. ”
"As for her identity, I don't know. ”

The corners of Su Mu's mouth trembled slightly, at this moment, he rarely completely forgot about the sword, completely forgot about the Ten Thousand Thunder and the Blue Sky Shadow, and was just trying his best to control his restless heart, trying to digest this shocking news.
Even the fingernails cut through the skin of the palm.
The night rain is still plucking the strings and playing beautiful music. Sometimes it fluctuates, sometimes it smooths. In this silent night, accompanied by the unique smell of grass and trees in the back mountain, the damp and cold evening breeze blows into the hearts of the people in the house.
