Chapter 746: Chapter 748: The Background of Madam Sheng Yue (Part 2)
"East Island is an island that approaches the East Sea, its land not even a quarter the size of Central Province, yet, East Island too is teeming with the mighty, not much different from the Central Continent. You, I found abandoned there when I was traveling through East Island."
Madam Sheng Yue’s heart jolted, she had not expected that she did not originate from the Divine Martial Continent, nor was she a person from Central Continent...
"Back then, a woman, holding you, was fleeing when she encountered me. She pleaded with me to take you in. Seeing her pitiful state, I agreed, and then, she died in front of me..."
At that moment, her body stiffened, but she did not make a sound to interrupt, quietly listening to Dan Venerate’s recount.
"After she died, I used my powers to search for your whereabouts, only to find out you came from Dou Family of East Island."
"Dou Family?"
"That’s right!" Dan Venerate nodded, "The Dou Family is considered one of the powerful families of Central Province, possessing no small amount of power."
Madam Sheng Yue took a deep breath and asked, "Then Master, do you know who killed my mother?"
Dan Venerate gave a bitter smile, "The one who killed your mother was her personal maid!"
Madam Sheng Yue hesitated, seeming somewhat unable to believe her own ears. Seemingly oblivious to the astonishment in her heart, Dan Venerate continued.
"Your mother was of ordinary birth, yet possessed an unparalleled beauty and extraordinary Talent. After a chance encounter with your father, the two of them fell in love. Their relationship was initially not accepted by the Dou Family, but your father, deeply in love with your mother, had no choice but to accept them."
"But..." Dan Venerate paused, "your mother’s maid fell in love with your father, thus she conspired with a few elders of the Dou Family, killed your mother’s life, and further used a Disguise Pill to impersonate your mother staying by your father’s side."
"Master," Madam Sheng Yue’s voice choked up, "why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?"
Dan Venerate gave a bitter smile, "Because it involved too broadly; the backing of the Dou Family is the premier power of East Island, the Heavenly Demon Sect! Moreover, when your mother’s maid did this, she likewise had the help of the Heavenly Demon Sect; otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. At the beginning, I did not tell you because I didn’t want you to lose your life in pursuit of revenge, but now..."
His gaze shifted toward Mu Ruyue, speaking thoughtfully, "Perhaps, it’s also time for you to know..."
Madam Sheng Yue’s face paled, her eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a trace of pain.
"What’s more," Dan Venerate lifted his gaze to Madam Sheng Yue’s pale face, "since your mother’s death, that maid who impersonated your mother has estranged her own family, deliberately angered your maternal grandfather, leading to his illness and soon his death, your uncle was likewise killed by that maid, and now, your cousin is managing the Wei Family, but of late, the Wei Family has been struggling to survive, fearing imminent disaster..."
Madam Sheng Yue pursed her lips, as if she had made a decision, "I’m going to East Island!"
"Mother!" Mu Ruyue furrowed her brows, raising her eyes toward Dan Venerate, "Let me handle this matter."
"But..."
"Don’t worry, I will definitely come back alive!"
East Island, Dou Family?
Mu Ruyue smiled coldly, her smile stunningly beautiful yet exuding a chilling aura.
"There’s another thing..."
Dan Venerate looked at Madam Sheng Yue, "You have an elder brother in the Dou Family!"
