"That's right, I won't admit my mistake!" The old man Xuegu said to himself, he stepped forward to see Xiao Fengling's scar clearly, but because of the location of the scar, he felt embarrassed, took two steps and then backed away, He paced back and forth for a few steps, glanced at Xiao Fengling, and then paced back and forth again.

"Master." Han Tiexin called softly, he had never seen such a surprised and bewildered expression on the face of the old man Xuegu, "What's wrong with you? This scar on his leg...what's wrong?"

At this time Xiao Fengling staggered and almost fell, Han Tiexin strode forward to support him, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Xiao Fengling pushed his shoulder to widen the distance between the two of them, and Wen Yu beside him frowned and said, "You just gave birth, I'm afraid you're exhausted, don't stay outside, go back to your room to rest!"

Han Tiexin hastily echoed: "Yes, you listen to Doctor Wen, go back to your room and rest!"

Xiao Fengling felt that she was embarrassed here and now, so she just picked up the plane and found an excuse to leave, so she turned around and walked into the room.

The old man Xuegu looked at Xiao Fengling's receding back, and suddenly said: "Tie Xin, we at Yujianmen have always had one master and one apprentice, do you know why I accepted Gao Lin as an apprentice after accepting you?"

Han Tiexin didn't understand why the old man Xuegu would ask such a question, so he said: "Master once said that you accepted Lin'er as an apprentice at the invitation of Master Gao, and Master Gao was kind to Master, so you made an exception and accepted it." He is an apprentice."

"That's right, Master Gao is kind to me, and I can't refuse his request." The old man Xuegu said, "Then do you know what kindness Master Gao has to me?"

Han Tiexin was taken aback, shook his head and said, "I've never heard Master mention this before."

The old man Xuegu narrowed his eyes slightly with remembrance, and slowly said: "That year I was plotted against by my enemies and was seriously injured. On a rainy night, I fled to a ruined temple. Maybe it was because the neighborhood was too desolate, maybe because The rain was too fast and heavy, and there were many people sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple. At that time, I was secretly happy, thinking that if there were more people among the crowd, the enemies would not be able to find me. I just killed him. Other people who took shelter from the rain thought he was a bandit and ran away in fright. I fled along the path behind the ruined temple to a tree. My enemy also chased him, and saw him walking towards my hiding place. Come on, just when I thought I was going to die at this moment, a baby's cry suddenly came from not far away. The man was also highly alert, and he stabbed at the source of the cry with his sword, and just turned his back to Seeing this opportunity, I hurriedly raised my sword and stabbed, my enemy was killed by me on the spot, and the baby who saved my life was injured, but fortunately it was not life-threatening.”

The old man Xuegu said affirmatively: "I remember very clearly that the baby's thigh was injured by my enemy's sword, and that sword was his unique weapon, the Humen Cross Blade."

Han Tiexin asked in surprise: "Master's meaning... Could it be that the baby is Xiao Fengling?"

The old man Xuegu shook his head and continued: "At that time, the baby's mother and nurse were killed by my enemies, and there were only a few maids and guards who accompanied the baby. They called the baby the young master."

"Master?" Han Tiexin frowned, "Du Xun's family is poor, so his wife will abandon them and marry someone else. How can their family afford servants?"

"That family is naturally not Du Xun." The old man Xuegu said with complicated eyes, "They told me that the owner's surname is Gao, and he is the owner of Qilin Villa. They accompanied his wife and young master back to their natal home to visit relatives."

"Lin, Lin'er?!" Han Tiexin was also confused now, "Master is saying that the one who lured your enemies away with crying is Lin'er?"

The old man Xuegu said: "Yes. I was eager to heal my injuries, so I flew away from them, and promised to go to the mansion to thank me after I recovered from my injuries. My internal injuries were serious, and I had to be raised for several months. After I recovered, I found them at the address the maid told me. Thank you Qilin Villa. Master Gao begged me to accept Gao Lin as an apprentice. Your senior brother was still there at the time. I shouldn’t have agreed, but his family was kind to me, so I couldn’t refuse, so I left him a letter to let him When Gao Lin was five years old, he brought a letter to Xuegu to find me, and I will teach him martial arts."

Han Tiexin analyzed: "Then is it possible that the scar on Xiao Fengling's leg is just a coincidence that it is similar to the scar left by the Humen Cross Blade?"

"No." The old man Xuegu said affirmatively, "I will never admit that scar."

Han Tiexin said again: "There should be a scar like this on Lin'er's leg."

The old man Xuegu said: "This is the problem I'm not sure about. At that time, I believed that the child was the one who saved my life, and I didn't check whether there were scars on his legs again."

Han Tiexin said: "Master saw that baby back then, how could he not know if he is Gao Lin?"

The old man Xuegu replied: "You don't know, children grow up and change quickly, and they can almost change their appearance. It has been a few months since I arrived at Qilin Villa, and the situation was urgent that day. I have never looked at the baby's appearance carefully, so I am not sure whether the baby in Qilin Villa is the one who rescued me in the woods. But I saw the longevity lock on the baby's body, with the birth date engraved on it and the birth date. It's exactly the same as the one I saw in the woods. I think it can't be wrong."

"Master..." Han Tiexin suddenly thought of something when he heard the longevity lock, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said word by word, "Actually, Xiao Fengling and Gao Lin were born in the same year, month, and day."

"What?!" Han Tiexin's words surprised the old man Xuegu, "Are you sure?"

Han Tiexin nodded affirmatively.

The old man Xuegu panicked and said: "How could this be...Could it be...I really found the wrong person? If Xiao Fengling was the one who lured my enemy away in the woods, why did that maid tell me that he is the young master of Qilin Villa?"

"Perhaps, all this can only be revealed by finding the maid from back then." Han Tiexin said, "Master, do you know if the maid from back then is still in Qilin Villa? If so, let's go to her and ask what happened soon. .”

The old man Xuegu sighed: "Don't you forget that all the servants in Qilin Villa have been killed by the people taught by Qingping sent by Xiao Fengling?"

After being reminded by the old man Xuegu, Han Tiexin was annoyed to remember that there was such a thing.If that maid had been at Qilin Villa all this time, she might have become the ghost of Qingping's sect at this time.I lost my mind for a while.
