The night is deep, the ancient temples in the mountains are quiet and quiet, and occasionally the sound of monks knocking on wooden fish.

Situ Yu stepped over the high threshold and entered the front hall of Yuanyin Temple. The front hall was simple and grand, with lights and candles lit up, trembling slightly in the night wind. There was no monk inside. As soon as you entered the door, there was a tall and solemn statue of Tathagata Buddha.

Situ Yu knelt down on the cushion in front of the Buddha, bowed devoutly, folded his hands together, and recited: "Amitabha."

Jin Liancheng hid in the dark, held his breath and focused his mind, and pricked up his ears to listen to Situ Yu's movements. Even though the Buddha was not far away, Jin Liancheng was not afraid of his sneaky behavior offending the Buddha. He only wanted to know what secrets were in Situ Yu.

But after Situ Yu recited "Amitabha", he knelt straight there, lowered his head, motionless, and silent, as if he was repenting, and as if he was asleep.

Jin Liancheng waited left and right, but did not dare to move around, his legs were numb. After half an hour, Situ Yu didn't speak. Jin Liancheng had been cursing in his heart for several rounds. At this moment, he cursed inwardly: "I'm old, speak quickly!"

As soon as Jin Liancheng finished scolding, Situ Yu moved, kneeling so hard that his legs were stiff. He changed to sitting there, looking up at the Buddha, and then lowered his head.

When Jin Liancheng saw Situ Yu sitting down in a comfortable position, he had to hide there motionlessly, and even scolded Situ Yu in his heart.

But after waiting for so long, Jin Liancheng decided to wait patiently. Perhaps this old man was just brewing emotions and could not sit here for a night without saying anything.

Another quarter of an hour passed, Situ Yu finally spoke.

"Buddha, I really don't know what to do..." Situ Yu said, sighing deeply.

Jin Liancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Situ Yu should say something very important next. The next moment, he heard Situ Yu continue, "My real name is Chen Yu."

A trace of surprise flashed in Jin Liancheng's eyes. Chen Yu, surnamed Chen, this old guy is indeed related to the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng!

Jin Liancheng continued to listen and Situ Yu said, "Because of the inexplicable rules of the Apocalypse Continent, as Chen Ji's twin brother, I was sent away not long after I was born."

Jin Liancheng suddenly widened his eyes. Situ Yu was Chen Ji's twin brother? This is a big secret. He had never heard anyone mention this. I am afraid that Qi Ningyuan, who has been investigating Shuoxue City, wouldn't know!

Situ Yu seemed to have opened a gate in his heart in front of the Buddha, and then talked about his life experience. If he talked about it, it would naturally combine Situ Yu's nature of "white lotus is forever innocent" and automatically transformed into another more realistic version...

Situ Yu was sent to the home of Situ, a former aristocratic clan in Tianyuan Continent. His adoptive father was a famous miracle doctor at that time. He had no son and only had one daughter, namely his junior sister Situ Yu.

In Situ Yu's story, he used Long Yanhua at birth, so he had a very high talent in martial arts practice. Since he was a child, an elder of the Chen family taught him martial arts. At a young age, he became a very powerful master.

Situ Yu said that he was also gifted in medicine. His adoptive father and mother loved him very much. He raised him as his biological son and taught him all his abilities.

Situ Yu had never known his life experience, and the elder of the Chen family around him also concealed his identity. When Situ Yu was nineteen years old, the elder suddenly disappeared one day.

Not long after Situ Yu celebrated his 20th birthday, the elder of the Chen family came back and told Situ Yu about the existence of the Tianqi Continent, and told Situ Yu that he was the son of the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng and wanted to bring Situ Yu back to the family.

At that time, Situ Yu felt angry. What Shuo Xuecheng? What Chen family? He had never heard of it, and he didn't want to know about it. The people from that family left him outside for twenty years. Now that he grew up, he had to let him go back to serve the family. It was too much! What should his adoptive father and mother do?

So Situ Yu sternly refused to leave the Situ family and returned to Shuoxue City. He also made a poisonous oath, saying that he would be surnamed Situ for the rest of his life and asked the Chen family not to come to him again.

The elder left again, and a few months later, Situ Yu met a young man who looked exactly like him. The young man said that his name was Chen Ji and Situ Yu's twin brother.

Chen Ji expressed his apology and concern to Situ Yu, and once again expressed that he hoped that Situ Yu could go back to Chen's house with him. His mother was seriously ill and was looking forward to seeing him for the last time. If he insisted on leaving after returning, no one would stop him, and no one would disturb him in the future.

Situ Yu still didn't go back after all. He told Chen Ji that "raising grace is greater than raising grace." He said that he did not want to have any bonds with the Chen family, so he made the Chen family think that he was dead and should not disturb him again.

Chen Ji left, and not long afterwards, the wife of the city lord of the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng died. At almost the same time, Situ Yu married Situ Yu, his beautiful and gentle junior sister.

Situ Yu was infatuated with Situ Yu. In the second year of marriage, he gave birth to a son for Situ Yu.

But it was during Situ Yu's pregnancy that Situ Yu claimed that he had met the only true love in his life, his other junior sister, Hua Xin.

Jin Liancheng felt that it was the woman named Hua who took advantage of the situation and seduced Situ Yu. Situ Yu was not in control. A pair of dogs got together, and what else did they say about true love? It's ridiculous...

Situ Yu had become Hua Xin's belly bigger and could not hide it anymore, so he proposed to her wife who had just given birth to a son that she wanted to take Hua Xin as her concubine.

Of course, Situ Yu disagreed, and Situ Yu's adoptive father and mother also disagreed, but they did not do it too well, saying that when Hua Xin gave birth to the child, Situ's family would raise him and let Hua Xin leave by herself, they would not pursue the matter.

As a result, Situ Yu left his beautiful wife and children late one night, and eloped with Hua Xin, who was pregnant with Liujia.

Situ Yu said that they suffered a lot outside, and Hua Xin had difficulty giving birth, so she almost died of one corpse and two lives. In the end, the child was born and Hua Xin died.

Situ Yu took his newborn son in a dilemma. In the end, he made a decision to send the child to Shuoxuecheng and hand it over to the Chen family. He went back to admit his mistakes, took care of his wife, children and adoptive parents, and repay their kindness. In his opinion, this would not only allow the Chen family to find a descendant, but also not let the Situ family down for raising him.

When Chen Ji came to find Situ Yu, he left him a letter saying that if one day he wanted to go back to Shuoshuicheng, the gate of the Chen family would be open for him. There was also a map of the return and a token of the Chen family. Chen Ji had already greeted the elder who guarded the world.

Situ Yu, with his illegitimate son named Situ Pingzhi, successfully returned to the Apocalypse Continent and found Shuoxuecheng. One morning, after putting down his son, he left without looking back. He left a letter to Chen Ji, asking Chen Ji to take good care of his son. So his son Situ Pingzhi became Chen Ji's adopted son.

On the way back to Situ's house, Situ Yu vowed to repay his adoptive parents for the rest of his life and take care of his wife and children, but when he went back, he found that the Situ's house was gone.

Situ Yu's wife Situ Yu, not long after he elopes with Hua Xin, hugged her son and threw herself into the lake. Both the mother and son died. Situ Yu's adoptive father and mother lost their only daughter and grandson. She was sad and went there not long after, and the whole family was dispersed.

This is Situ Yu's remark. Jin Liancheng heard it, and it was obvious that Situ Yu fell in love with someone else, forcing his wife and children to death, and pissed his adoptive parents to death.

Situ Yu knelt in front of the Buddha, crying in a daze, saying that he was sorry for the Situ family, saying that he was a sinner, and saying that he would never have a chance to make up for it again.

"Buddha, the Situ family is gone. Pingzhi is going to destroy the Chen family again. I want to stop him, but he refuses to listen to me!" Situ Yu said with a painful expression, "I am afraid that I have done something and hurt my children and grandchildren..."

Pingzhi was about to destroy the Chen family... Jin Liancheng looked inexplicable. He wanted to hear Situ Yu talk about Situ Pingzhi in the Chen family in detail, because he had never heard of the name Situ Pingzhi before, but Situ Yu stopped talking. After sitting quietly for a while, wiped away his tears, got up, bowed deeply, and turned around and went out.

Jin Liancheng immediately left the hiding place and secretly returned to his residence at Yuanyin Temple as fast as possible.

When Situ Yu returned to the room, Jin Liancheng next door was already lying on the bed with Yi, without making any noise.

The room was pitch black, and Jin Liancheng was lying on the bed, with his eyes open, thinking about what Situ Yu said last, "Pingzhi is going to destroy the Chen family"...

Chen Ji and Situ Yu are twin brothers. Situ Yu has been staying in Qisha City before, undoubtedly for Baili Qing, which is Chen Ziqing, the eldest daughter of the Chen family. Then, the children and grandchildren mentioned by Situ Yu are Situ Pingzhi and Chen Ziqing. Situ Yu is suspected to be Chen Ziqing's grandfather, but Chen Ziqing is now Chen Yun's daughter. Situ Pingzhi's identity has disappeared and almost no one knows it. So... Jin Liancheng has reason to suspect that Chen Yun, the city lord of Shuoxue City, is pretended to be Situ Pingzhi, the son of Situ Yu!

Thinking of this, Jin Liancheng curled a sneer on the corner of his lips. He thought he had indeed discovered the big secret about Situ Yu and the Chen family in Shuo Xuecheng! These things will sooner or later be useful...

The next morning, Jin Liancheng and Situ Yu sat together for dinner as before.

Situ Yu's spirit seemed much better than when he came back from the mountain in the evening last night. When he saw Jin Liancheng, he smiled and said to Jin Liancheng: "Yuangui, I followed your advice last night and went to the Buddha to tell you. After saying some boredom, I felt much more comfortable in my heart."

Jin Liancheng smiled, but couldn't help but curse in his heart: This old bitch is really shameless! He killed his adoptive father, mother, wife and son, and his illegitimate son took over the nest and harmed the Chen family. He knew everything, but he did nothing, so he told the Buddha statue. After sleeping all night, he felt at ease and felt relieved?

Feng Qingran frowned: "Dad has always loved Huan'er very much and protected Huan'er so well. He asked Huan'er to go out to do things before, but although he failed, his father never punished him. Dad shouldn't have been so hasty about the marriage between Qing'er and Ling'er, right?"

"It's time for me to discuss this with my father. You go to bed first." Chen Yun said and got up.

"We must persuade my father. We must not agree to these two marriages!" Feng Qingran said.

"I know." Chen Yun said and went out.

When Chen Yun saw Chen Ji, Chen Ji was playing chess alone, and the white and black pieces were fighting on the chessboard.

Chen Yun spoke and said a word. Chen Ji raised his hand and signaled him to be quiet and he would talk about it later if he had anything to do.

Chen Yun sat silently on the side, waiting until Chen Ji finished the game of chess and put away all the pieces, then looked up at him and asked with a faint expression: "Tell me what those two families are coming."

"Dad, both families are here to propose marriage. The Ji family is asking for Ling'er for the young master, and the Han family is asking for Qing'er for the young master." Chen Yun frowned and said.

"What do you think?" Chen Ji asked.

"My son has discussed with Qingran, and neither of them can agree to the marriage. They obviously have bad intentions. We cannot let our daughter jump into the fire pit. Then the hostages will be left in their hands. This is not good for Shuoxuecheng." Chen Yun said seriously.

"Qing'er is in her early twenties, right?" Chen Ji suddenly asked about Chen Ziqing's age.

Chen Yun nodded: "Yes."

"Who are you couple planning to marry your two daughters?" Chen Ji looked at Chen Yun and asked.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment: "This..."

"Among the younger generation of several families, regardless of status or strength, the best one is the young masters of each family. Ning Yuan is dead, so I won't mention it. Lian Yu is a blind man and has already married Ning Xin. Only the two young masters of the Ji family and the Han family have not yet married. Do you think they are worthy of Qing'er and Ling'er?" Chen Ji looked at Chen Yun and asked.

Chen Yun frowned: "Dad, this is not a question of whether they are worthy or not. Their two families are enemies of the Chen family."

"When did you become an enemy?" Chen Ji asked, "Because Qi Ningyuan? Qi Ningyuan is a member of the Qi family, not the Chen family. Our Chen family has not become enemies with any of their families."

"Dad, Qi Ningyuan is your grandson after all. In their opinion, they may think that Qi Ningyuan's actions were instructed by you. How could they truly marry the Chen family?" Chen Yun said disagreeably.

"Yun'er, when should we consider whether we are sincere or not?" Chen Ji said with a faint expression, "It's just an exchange of interests."

Chen Yun's expression narrowed: "What does dad mean?"

"Qi Ningyuan is dead. If Ji Han and Lian families really join forces to deal with the Chen family, we will be very passive. This time, it is clearly the countermeasures of the three families after discussion. The Lian family is not among the proposals because Lian Yu has married my husband's granddaughter." Chen Ji said lightly.

"This is their conspiracy, we cannot fall into the trap," said Chen Yun.

"But we can use our plans and take advantage of the opportunity to marry and plot against the Ji family and the Han family." Chen Ji said in a low voice.

Chen Yun's expression changed slightly: "Does Dad agree to the proposal of these two families?"

"Yes." Chen Ji nodded.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't it ruin the happiness of Qing'er and Ling'er in their lives?" Chen Yun frowned.

"As long as the Ji family and Han family surrender to us, they will naturally not have a bad life. It is very suitable for them to marry the young masters of those two families." Chen Ji said unquestionably, "My daughter is old and she always wants to get married. Qing'er broke her arm, Ling'er is arrogant and arrogant. They are not young anymore, who else can she marry? This matter is decided!"

"Dad..." Chen Yun wanted to say something else, but then he heard Chen Ji say he asked him to go back.

Chen Yun had no choice but to go back and told Feng Qingran. Feng Qingran was very dissatisfied with Chen Ji's decision and the current situation where they wanted Chen Ji to make the decision. However, they could not think of any good way to solve the current problem.

Feng Qingran only said that this was hidden from her two daughters in advance, and when the time was right, she would tell them that the marriage might not be successful in the end.

According to Chen Ji's instructions, Chen Yun left the Ji family and the Han family's elders for two days and told them that the Chen family had agreed to the proposal. Both elders said that when they returned, the betrothal gifts would be delivered to Shuoxuecheng soon.

Chen Ji, who said that Qi Ningyuan was dead, became more and more suspicious as time went by, especially Chen Zihuan's second experience in Wax City made Chen Ji feel something was wrong.

In the dark night, Chen Ji disappeared into Qian Xueju's study.

This is a secret room without seeing the sun. The wall is inlaid with night pearls, and the warm light shines down. A man sat cross-legged on the ground, bound his limbs by thick iron chains. His hair and beard are long and messy, hanging down to cover his entire face.

The sound of footsteps sounded in the secret room. Chen Ji appeared in the secret room. Looking at the people on the ground, he sneered in a low voice: "Brother Chen, we're meeting again."
