Nie Huaisang worked diligently for three months, investigating Laoling Qin Sect to make sure they had no ulterior motives, they were indeed clean, and they left being a subordinate of Jin Guangshan a few years ago. Once Nie Huaisang uncovered that they didn't have any ulterior motives, he continued investigating, wondering why they left being subordinates, and he was shocked by the truth he uncovered, he had a letter from Madam Qin and he kept rereading it until he heard a knock on his door and looked at that direction, saying:

"Da-ge?"

Nie Mingjue was standing there and looking at him, he said:

"Huaisang, what is bothering you?"

Nie Mingjue entered the room and sat, Nie Huaisang said:

"I think I know why Laoling Qin Sect stopped being a subordinate of Lanling Jin Sect, and it is terrifying."

Nie Mingjue looked at him:

"Someone killed someone?"

Nie Huaisang sighed and looked at the floor, saying:

"Da-ge, I wish it was someone killing someone... It is, Jin Guangshan, what a terrible man..."

Nie Mingjue made his hand into a fist and said:

"What now? What is left that he didn't commit?"

Nie Huaisang:

"Qin Cangye isn't Qin Su's father."

Nie Mingjue looked at him with confusion and asked:

"Huaisang, what do you mean?"

Nie Huaisang:

"Da-ge, her father is Jin Guangshan, he... He didn't leave even the wife of his subordinate alone. Madam Qin was so scared of this yet I... I heard Madam Qin speaking with her maid, Bicao. Bicao has been her life-long servant, it can't be a lie."

Nie Mingjue knew this tone of voice, and expression of Nie Huaisang, it was the truth and he asked:

"How about Qin Su?"

Nie Huaisang:

"She doesn't know it, she has no clue, but while I was there, the madam fell ill and told Bicao, I just..."

Nie Mingjue:

"Qin Su will eventually learn the truth, but Huaisang, you seem restless."

Nie Huaisang:

"I was thinking, Qin Su, who would want such a lady? Many cultivators are arrogant and once they learn how she was born, they would abandon her, even if she is the daughter of a sect madam, it wouldn't matter."

Nie Mingjue:

"Would you abandon her?"

Nie Huaisang:

"Da-ge, why ask this?"

Nie Mingjue:

"Answer!"

Nie Huaisang:

"No. When I learnt this, I wanted to protect her, but I don't know how."

Nie Mingjue:

"Simple, marry her."

Nie Huaisang:

"Shouldn't she know the truth first?"

Nie Mingjue said no further and poured himself a cup of tea. Nie Huaisang looked at his brother and also poured himself a cup, he then gave the letter to Nie Mingjue saying:
