Chapter 1274: One Family
Qi Xuansu sat upon the jade platform, the Guizang Lantern beside him, and began recalling the events of his past years.
His name, Xuansu—black and white—suited his personality well. He had once wondered if he developed this style because of the name, or if the style came first and the name followed.
Now it seemed his name was most likely chosen afterward.
Where was the true starting point within this time loop? Was it when Qi Xuansu returned to the Lingshan Paradise of the past or when he and his master were ambushed near the Kunlun Mountain Pass?
Qi Xuansu had yet to figure it out.
However, he discovered some rather interesting details.
After he and Qi Jiaoyao obtained the Bone-Illuminating Mirror and divided the spoils, he guilt-tripped her and raised the price at the last moment. Qi Jiaoyao had said that she would definitely leave him coinless if she ever got the chance to get back at him.
Madam Qi truly held grudges. She definitely followed through with her threat. The present Qi Xuansu was indeed coinless. He often relied on Zhang Yuelu to support him.
No wonder the wealthy Madam Qi was fixated on his meager allowance. It turned out she had a reason to get back at him.
From various signs, it seemed that Madam Qi had eventually learned the truth. But when exactly?
Logically, after Qi Xuansu died in the Lingshan Paradise and Qi Jiaoyao left with the Longevity Stone Heart, she would certainly investigate what had happened in the outside world during the time she was trapped there, which would naturally include learning about Qi Xuansu.
After all, Qi Xuansu had claimed to be a rising star and the youngest Sage of the Daoist Order. Anyone could recognize his name.
