Chapter 97 Scroll (Second update)

(ninety-seven)

Shen Tanqi listened blankly and subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, Yu Ce said..."

"If you don't believe it, just go and see it for yourself."

Xie Chi winked at Jingwei, who immediately used demonic energy to catalyze the deep sea shark bead. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding aura glowed and a thick cool mist emitted.

Shen Tanqi choked on a few mouthfuls of fog, his vision was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In the long chaos, Shen Tanqi's limbs were soaked in the thick fog and became extremely cold. He even felt that Xie Chi wanted to freeze him to death.

I heard Taro Yuan say before that the deep sea shark bead can send people back to the past, but at that time Shen Tanqi never thought that he actually obtained the shark bead in this way.

He felt uncomfortable and a little anxious. He didn't know what inexplicable place he would be sent to.

After a while, the thick fog in front of me dispersed, and what appeared was a tall palace with carved beams and painted pillars.

Looking around, there was heavy snow falling all around, and in the ice and snow, only plum blossoms were blooming on the branches.

Shen Tanqi hesitated for a moment. Before he could figure out where he was, he heard an exclamation coming from the hall. He paused, but he still tentatively walked in.

Everywhere in the palace was covered with ancient books, almost as if they were flooded by a sea of books. Shen Tanqi didn't even have a place to stay. He followed the place where the sound came from and saw a man lying next to the bookshelf in the main hall.The man seemed to have fainted.

Shen Tanqi was confused and slowly walked into the hall. The man was face down with books piled on his head. He looked up and saw that all the books on the bookshelf were empty.

From the looks of it, this person must have been trying to get a book, but was accidentally knocked unconscious by a book that fell from the bookshelf, right?

Is there such a stupid person?

Shen Tanqi's lips twitched slightly and he dug the man out of the pile of books.

The man didn't react at all, as if he was dead.Shen Tanqi hesitantly stretched out his hand and poked him on the head.

A low gasping sound sounded, and the man slowly got up from the pile of books, as if he couldn't see Shen Tanqi at all, and muttered to himself: "Why are you so clumsy again?"

Seeing his face, Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment. Those eyebrows like distant mountains and the dark eyes like rain and mist were actually 70% similar to Yu Ce!

He immediately stuttered, "You, you belong to Yu Ce..."

Father?

Looking at this face, he must not have run away.

Could it be that the deep sea shark bead sent him to the memory of Yu Ce's father?

The other party was completely unaware and seemed not to hear his voice at all. He sighed in annoyance and carefully put away the books on the ground one by one.

The man holding the scroll is wearing a snow-colored gown that is very similar to Yu Ce's, but it lacks a bit of Yu Ce's unique sense of coldness and indifference, and instead looks more like a gentle and elegant weak scholar.

The man was immersed in organizing the books. He finally managed to organize them. He wanted to put them back on the bookshelf, but his arms seemed to have no strength. The thick books were shaking precariously in his palms.

Seeing that he was struggling so hard, Shen Tanqi couldn't help but reach out and give him a hand.

"thank you."

Shen Tanqi's eyes widened slightly and he said in disbelief: "Can you see me?"

The man lowered his lips, smiled softly, stuffed the books into the rows of bookshelves, and whispered: "You use my shark beads to come in, of course I can see you."

He is indeed Yu Ce's father, the only shark in the world.

Hearing this, Shen Tanqi was stunned: "Then why did you pretend not to see me just now?"

After arranging the books on the bookshelf, the man took back his hand. As if he was a little embarrassed, he squeezed the fingers hidden in his sleeves and whispered: "I'm afraid you are a bad person."

Shen Tanqi was silent, wanting to laugh inexplicably: "Then aren't you afraid that I am a bad person now?"

Hearing his words, the man smiled slyly, pointed to the bookshelf, and said softly: "You helped me, I guess you are not a bad person."

Shen Tanqi didn't know what to say. Why did he feel that Yu Ce's father seemed so easy to deceive?

However, he is not particularly stupid, at least he knows how to pretend.

Judging from Xie Chi's previous tone, he must have come in and learned some past events, and then he swore to tell Shen Tanqi that it was Yu Ce's father who killed Mrs. Shen's family.

"There was someone who came before you."

as expected.

The man leaned on his arms and sat on the ground. He casually picked up the unread ancient book and put it on his lap. "Except for those who are destined to get my shark beads, it means that I should be dead at this time."

His voice was calm, and there was no emotion caused by his death. There was no fear, no fear, no hatred or resentment.

Instead, he looked at Shen Tanqi with a smile and asked softly, "How did you get in?"

Facing this face that was similar to Yu Ce's, Shen Tanqi's heart softened involuntarily. He sat next to the man and whispered, "I was captured by bad guys. They said they wanted me to come in and see something."

While listening, the man opened the pages of the book in his hand and asked in a serious voice, "Well, is it something related to me?"

Shen Tanqi looked at him and nodded.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Shen Tanqi's words rang out very suddenly in the empty palace. The man's fingers paused slightly when turning the book, and soon he turned over it slowly as if nothing had happened.

Looking at Yu Ce's father like this, Shen Tanqi really couldn't imagine how the man in front of him could kill Mrs. Shen's family.

Not to mention Yu Ce's disbelief, even he couldn't accept such a thing.

In the long silence, the man spoke in a low voice: "If the killing you are talking about means taking human lives, then I have killed them before."

Shen Tanqi's eyes widened and he didn't want to ask him, "Who did you kill?"

The page of the book was gently closed. The man stood up, walked slowly to the door of the hall, looked at the falling white snowflakes, turned around and glanced at Shen Tanqi: "Please follow me."

Shen Tanqi curled up his fingertips slightly, pursed his lips, and followed him without saying a word.

The man turned his head and saw that his face was very serious, as if he was suppressing some anger, and he said at a loss, "It's a long way, don't be in a hurry."

"I know." Shen Tanqi tried his best to hold back the anger. He didn't want to make rash conclusions about the person in front of him before the matter came to light.

But how much Yu Ce trusted this father, even if everyone said that his father had killed people, the ten-year-old Yu Ce absolutely did not believe it. He escaped from the Hidden Dragon Valley alone and went to Shuoxia City thousands of miles away, just to give birth to a child.My father was vindicated and proved innocent.

Although he didn't know Mrs. Shen's family or what kind of person she was, the smile of the woman in the portrait was so gentle and soft. She had a ten-year-old child when she died!

No matter what the reason was, Shen Tanqi could not accept the fact that Yu Ce's father killed Mrs. Shen's family.

If Yu Ce's father really did something like that, Shen Tanqi didn't know what he should do.

Hate it, Mrs. Shen family is not his mother, but the original mother. What reason does he have to resent other people's mothers.

Don’t you hate it, Yu Ce believes in his father so much!

Shen Tanqi's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't make sense of it. He looked up, and the man seemed to be aware of his gaze. He lowered his eyelashes and said timidly: "You...what's your name?"

At this time, I actually wanted to ask him what his name was!

Shen Tanqi replied to him angrily: "Shen Tanqi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man stiffened slightly, looked at him suddenly, and repeated word by word: "Shen Tanqi?"

Shen Tanqi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, do you know me?"

Just kidding, how could Yu Ce's father know him? He was only ten years old at the time.

"know."

The man's words almost made Shen Tanqi fall flat on his face. His voice was lower and he said dullly: "I know you."

Shen Tanqi glanced at him and thought in his mind that if Yu Ce's father really killed Mrs. Shen's family, he might have actually met the ten-year-old original version.

This confirmed the man's crime, and Shen Tanqi didn't want to talk to him anymore.

But the man seemed to be trapped in many memories. His eyes fell on Shen Tanqi, but they seemed to be drifting away, "That year, you were still very young."

Even though Shen Tanqi remained silent and did not respond to him, the man still said softly to himself: "We met in Yudong City. You and your mother came to Feiluan Sect as guests, and you suddenly fell seriously ill., there is no cure, your mother has searched all the famous doctors in the city."

Shen Tanqi listened with some confusion. He knew that Yudong City was indeed a city closer to Feiluan Sect. In the man's whisper, he seemed to be able to see the gentle and elegant Mrs. Shen family, in theA scene of anxiously holding the ten-year-old original body in his arms on a snowy night, looking for medical advice everywhere.

It would be great if he could have such a mother. However, when he was ten years old, he was hit by a flower pot and suffered a concussion. His mother just looked at him, threw him a bottle of iodine and said: "The family has no money, so bear with it."Well, who told you to walk without looking at the road? No one else got hit, so why did you get hit?"

Thinking of those ruthless and indifferent words and his mother's cold and irritable eyes, Shen Tanqi felt panic in his heart. He turned away his eyes and said, "So, what do you want to say?"

The man looked at him quietly for a long time, then showed a pale smile: "You haven't changed at all from when you were ten years old, you just grew up and taller. If my son was here... he should be almost like you..”

Shen Tanqi became even more angry when he heard him mention Yu Ce. He gritted his teeth and said, "You still know that you have a son. Does your son know that you kill people?"

Hearing his words, the man's body trembled. He lowered his head again and said softly, "I won't let him know, never."

Shen Tanqi choked immediately and didn't even know what he said. After a while, Shen Tanqi looked at him coldly and said, "You are afraid that he will know, but you are not afraid that I will know."

The man suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Tanqi as if begging: "If you know my son, don't tell him anything."

Shen Tanqi looked at him in complete confusion and asked, "Are you afraid that Yu Ce will know, but you are not afraid that I will know? Or do you think that I don't know that the person you killed was my mother?"

Shen Tanqi blurted out the last word. He realized that he had naturally regarded Mrs. Shen family as his mother, and he was a little annoyed.

It's just that he took over the original body, how could he also take over his own mother?

The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and walked in front of Shen Tanqi, his voice drifting in the biting cold wind and snowflakes.

"There is nothing to be afraid of." He said softly, "You must know how much your mother has paid for you, not only her deep love, but also her life."

Shen Tanqi was stunned in place, but when he saw the man stop, he suddenly realized that they were already standing in front of the tombstone of an isolated grave.

The man slowly knelt down in front of the tombstone, pushed away the snowflakes accumulated on the tombstone bit by bit, and said in a low voice: "This is your mother's burial place. I will take out my shark beads so that you can go in and talk to her.Then you know everything.”

He turned back to look at Shen Tanqi, who was standing frozen in the snow, and said softly: "When you were ten years old, you were seriously ill. It was your mother who found me and offered her own life in exchange, asking me to do everything possible to keep you.'s soul."
