“Eh? How do you know my master’s surname? Do you really know him?”

The mad monk’s face showed a shocked expression, and his eyes were full of suspicion as he looked at Chen Xiao.

Upon hearing his words, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing were both greatly shocked.

The Fourth Sea Reverend's surname is Chen, doesn't that mean the mad monk's master is Chen Sihai!

And Chen Sihai… isn't that the person Lu Datou mentioned, suspected to be Chen Xiao's father?

Li Ziqing was also present at the time.

So she was very clear about what this meant.

“I don’t know him.”

Chen Xiao shook his head and said firmly.

The mad monk didn't understand, but he noticed that the young man's face had obviously changed from before.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiao asked, "You just said that you were created by Chen Sihai. Does that mean he created many people like you?"

The mad monk frowned. “Although I am not your opponent, I still hope you can respect my master and not call him by his given name directly.”

“Answer my question!”

Chen Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to the mad monk's request. His face was as heavy as water, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The mad monk also felt Chen Xiao's inexplicable irritability, and quickly said, "I don't know about that. I only know that I was created by the master. As for whether the master created other people, I don't know."

Not knowing probably means that it's likely that there are others.

Chen Xiao became even more irritable. “Then why did he create you? Why did you come to the Imperial City and get sealed in that monk temple?”

Chen Xiao didn't know what temple Master Yuan Dian was a monk of, but saying it was a monk temple wouldn't be wrong.

“I was born for killing.”

The mad monk's answer was concise. “The master created me for the purpose of having me kill people for him. He brought me to the Imperial City, gave me the order to slaughter the city, and then left first. I was sealed in the monk temple by a cultivator while I was completing the master's mission. Later, I broke through the seal, but because my mind was unclear, I listened to the slander of that hypocritical stinky monk and repented in the monk temple. This repentance lasted for more than twenty years.”

After listening to the mad monk's narration, Chen Xiao asked him, “What about your master? Hasn't he looked for you in all these years?”

“No.”

The mad monk shook his head, a painful expression on his face. “If the master wanted to find me, he would definitely be able to find me. If the master came to find me, a mere monk temple couldn't hold me, but the master didn't come to find me. I think the master probably forgot about me.”

The mad monk's eyes were full of resentment. He was probably dissatisfied that his master hadn't come to find him.

“Heh, so that’s how it is.”

Chen Xiao asked, “Now that you are free, what are you going to do next?”

The mad monk took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze, “Complete the master’s mission, continue to slaughter the city, and then go find the master.”

“……”

Chen Xiao was speechless. “He treated you like that, and you still want to listen to him?”

“The master’s mission, I must complete it no matter what. Moreover, the master is the master. Even if the master forgot about me, it's fine, as long as I don't forget the master.”

The mad monk's words shocked Li Ziqing. His values were simply shattered!

But thinking that the other party was just created by that 'master', a being similar to a robot, and that the master's mission was to input a program, it could be understood.

“Okay, if that’s the case, then go.”

Chen Xiao waved his hand.

“Farewell.”

The mad monk cupped his fist at Chen Xiao, turned around and left.

Just after taking two steps, his body suddenly shrank into a ball, and then with a bang, it turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Chen Xiao would naturally not let him go and slaughter the city. For such a powerful existence with an unclear mind, killing him was his best destination.

Even though he and himself might be the same kind of existence… And thinking of this, Chen Xiao's face was full of entanglement, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Li Ziqing noticed Chen Xiao's abnormality, gently took his hand, and slowly said, "Maybe things are not what you think."

With Li Ziqing's understanding of Chen Xiao, she naturally knew what he was worried about.

Chen Xiao shook his head gently, not knowing whether he was denying Li Ziqing's statement or saying that it wasn't this that was troubling him.

Li Ziqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped. In the end, she just gently hugged Chen Xiao and said nothing.

This was the first time since she had known Chen Xiao for so long that she had felt negative emotions in him.

Time passed by, and the two remained in the same position, just like two statues.

“The first time I heard this name, I was very resistant. Originally, I thought this was just my little emotion, blaming him for not caring about me for so many years.”

Chen Xiao finally spoke. “But today I understand that it’s not my little emotion. My hostility towards him is innate. I am very sure of this.”

Li Ziqing wanted to comfort Chen Xiao, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't find any words of comfort. In the end, she blurted out, "Then what are you going to do?"

“I don’t know where my hostility towards him comes from. Maybe I can find the answer by seeing him in person. I want to go find him.”

Chen Xiao said.

“Oh? Do you know where he is?”

Li Ziqing asked.

Chen Xiao nodded. “He is in the Immortal Hidden Realm (Xian Yin Jie), so I have to go to the Immortal Hidden Realm.”

“Will it be very dangerous there?”

Li Ziqing asked with a frown. She didn't know what the Immortal Hidden Realm was.

“Um… maybe for me.”

Chen Xiao nodded. “I have many enemies in the Immortal Hidden Realm.”

Li Ziqing's instinctive reaction was to persuade Chen Xiao not to go, but she swallowed the words that came to her lips and instead asked cautiously, “Then you have to be fully prepared before you go.”

“Yeah!”

Chen Xiao nodded heavily. “Yeah, I will.”

“You finally got your revenge. What are your plans next?”

Chen Xiao asked.

Li Ziqing smiled awkwardly. “It should be said that you helped me get my revenge. If I only relied on myself, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to defeat any of the five major families even if I worked hard for a lifetime, let alone the five of them joining forces.”

The foundation of the five major families was deeper than Li Ziqing had imagined, and Chen Xiao's strength was also stronger than she had imagined.

“As for the next plan…”

Li Ziqing hesitated because she hadn’t thought about it yet.

Avenging her parents was her biggest goal in life before. Now that this goal has been achieved, she really doesn't know what to do next.

Of course, the company still has to continue, but those are as common to her as eating, drinking, and breathing, and cannot be called a goal at all.

“You wait for me…”

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly walked to the side and picked up a can of Coke.

With a bang, he pulled open the pull ring, put the drink aside, and returned to Li Ziqing with the pull ring, kneeling on one knee.

“Li Ziqing, I, Chen Xiao, propose to you today, are you willing to marry me?”
