Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

At the same time, Gongsun Lue'e was about to answer her father Gongsun Zhi's majestic question and was about to tell the story, but at this critical moment, her mother Qiu Ganchi appeared beside her.

However, with her unique sharpness and decisiveness, she gently raised her hand and stopped her daughter from speaking with a subtle but significant movement. Qiu Ganchi's eyes revealed complex emotions, including love for her daughter and a deep insight into the current situation.

Gongsun Lu'e felt the message conveyed by her mother Qiu Ganchi. Although she was unwilling, she had to temporarily suppress the words in her heart and instead cast a puzzled and helpless look.

Seeing that Gongsun Lue'e, his daughter whom he had raised carefully for many years, chose to remain silent under his questioning, Gongsun Zhi's face instantly turned gloomy, and his long eyebrows immediately raised high.

Like a sword drawn from its sheath, his eyes flashed with an unquestionable cold light, and he spoke coldly, with a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.

"Humph, you are really raising a tiger to bring disaster upon yourself! How could I have worked so hard to raise you, taught you martial arts, and imparted wisdom to you, but in the end you just ignore the existence of me as your father!"

When Gongsun Lu'e heard this, her face instantly turned pale as paper, and a thin layer of mist quickly condensed in her eye sockets, as if it would burst out at any time. She looked at her father Gongsun Zhi in disbelief.

Those eyes that were once full of love and care now seemed so strange and cold. Gongsun Lue'e had never thought about the father who had always been as reliable as a mountain and as deep as the sea in her heart.

Not only did he do such cruel and inhumane things to his own mother Qiu Ganchi, but now he actually said such hurtful words. Every word was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting her heart.

Qiu Ganchi witnessed all this from the side. The anger in her heart was like a flame blown up by a strong wind, burning to its peak in an instant. She could no longer suppress her inner anger and unwillingness, and waved her hand violently.

The silver mask covering his face fell gently like a fallen leaf, revealing his hideous face.

"Gongsun Zhi, do you still recognize me?"

Her voice trembled with anger, yet was filled with irresistible power. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, mixed with deep internal strength, and echoed throughout the space.

Gongsun Zhi's expression became complicated and indecipherable in an instant. He had never expected that the man in front of him, who seemed to have lost all his limbs and had difficulty moving, could burst out such amazing internal strength.

It was like an unfathomable ocean, which made people feel awe. This sudden shock made him involuntarily put away his previous contempt and arrogance. His gaze slowly shifted to Qiu Ganchi who was standing silently beside him.

I saw Qiu Ganchi standing there, thin and hunched, her face carved by the years with deep grooves and wrinkles crisscrossing like cracks on a dead tree; her eyes revealed a kind of determination and ruthlessness that came from experiencing vicissitudes of life.

This makes the whole face look extremely terrifying, as if it is a ghost returning from the edge of hell, with a majesty and power that cannot be ignored. However, beneath this terrifying appearance.

Gongsun Zhi, however, caught a glimpse of an indescribable sense of familiarity, which caused ripples in his heart.

"Auntie, you look very familiar. Have we met before?"

Gongsun Zhi spoke slowly with a puzzled look on his face.

There was a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his voice. He was trying hard to search his memory for any clues about this hideous face. The faint sense of familiarity was like a dream, yet vague.

However, as the words fell, a subtle awkwardness and tension filled the air.

"Haha...Auntie, haha..."

Qiu Ganchi's laughter suddenly rang out. It was low and suppressed at first, then gradually became high-pitched and unbridled, echoing in the empty space, carrying an indescribable sadness and helplessness. His eyes became complex and deep at this moment.

"I am your aunt?"

She repeated Gongsun Zhi's words with a self-deprecating smile on her lips. Behind this smile, an extremely strong murderous intent quietly spread, and it silently seeped into every inch of the air around her.

One can't help but feel a chill.

This murderous intent did not come out of nowhere, but was a torrent of resentment, hatred, and unwillingness that had been accumulated in the heart for many years. It was now gathering momentum, ready to devour everything that stood in its way.

"This title is quite new, but I'm afraid that my appearance is no longer worthy of these two words."

There were already many people from the Jueqing Valley gathered in the hall, among them were those disciples who were able to set up the [Fishing Net Formation]. In particular, those who were able to set up the [Fishing Net Formation] were all old and strong people in the valley, and most of them had seen their previous mistress Qiu Ganchi.

At this moment, this familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded, penetrating the noise of the hall and striking deep into everyone's heart. Then, following the guidance of that voice.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that figure at the same time. When they saw Qiu Ganchi's ferocious face again, they were all shocked. However, no one dared to speak, and they didn't even have the courage to look at Qiu Ganchi.

For a moment, the entire hall seemed to be shrouded by an inexplicable force. All sounds stopped abruptly, even Xu Xingchen, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling stopped talking unconsciously.

Inside the hall, the only sounds were the rapid breathing and heartbeats intertwined together, forming an indescribable atmosphere. In this dead silence, what was everyone secretly guessing in their hearts?

At this moment, an old servant who had been standing quietly in the corner of the room suddenly rushed forward as if driven by an invisible force, although his steps were staggering.

But his eyes were shining with irrepressible excitement and joy, and he shouted loudly, with a bit of trembling and disbelief in his voice.

"Madam! Is it really you? All these years, we have believed from rumors that... you are not dead!"

Qiu Ganchi turned around slowly, her eyes falling on the loyal old servant with deep and complex expressions. Time had left traces on her face, but it also endowed her with a temperament that made her look majestic without even getting angry. She answered sternly.

"Uncle Zhang, you still remember me."

Having said this, Qiu Ganchi's eyes couldn't help but become sharp, as if they had penetrated the mist of time and saw the faces of those who had been betrayed and forgotten, his eyes were filled with strong murderous intent.

"Unlike some people who are so heartless and ruthless that they can abandon even the most basic conscience. They are worse than pigs and dogs."

Qiu Ganchi continued indignantly that this sentence was not only a direct expression of her past grudges, but also a profound exposure and criticism of the dark, selfish and greedy side of human nature.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang felt even more moved. He knew very well that his longing and concern for his mistress Qiu Ganchi over the years were not groundless. Now that he saw her standing in front of him safe and sound, the heartfelt joy he felt was almost beyond words.

"Madam, your safe return is truly great news for us!"

Back then, Qiu Ganchi presided over all affairs of the valley with her extraordinary wisdom and majesty. Every decision she made was well thought out, which not only ensured the peace and prosperity of the valley.

He also took good care of the old servant. This kindness warmed the old servant's heart like the warm sunshine in spring, making him feel that although he was a servant, he could still get the respect and love of his master.

Therefore, he was extremely loyal. Seeing that his mistress Qiu Ganchi was really safe and sound, he could not help but be overjoyed. The joy in his heart was simply indescribable, as if all his sorrows and worries had disappeared at this moment.

The old servant was shaking with excitement, his eyes were red, and he quickly knelt on the ground, put his hands together, and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Each kowtow seemed so forceful and sincere.

As if he wanted to pour all his gratitude to his mistress Qiu Ganchi into this simple action, his face was filled with a happy smile, a sincere and heartfelt joy and satisfaction.

"You bastards! What are you still doing standing there? Come over here and meet our mistress!"

At this moment, after expressing his excitement, the old servant suddenly turned around and shouted at his two sons standing beside him.
