"Wait! Su She was never married and if you claim that you're his son then your an illegitimate child of his" at Wei's comment Su Shing roars with enrage "Shut up, so what if I am an illegitimate child, I am still his son" the man suddenly grins and as he stands before us, I could see the clear resemblance.

Before Wei could probe further it was Wu Meiming who stood next to me and her eyes were guarded as she observed Su Shing in front of us and that's when she spoke "I know you. Weren't you the one who rescued my father from the clutches of Yunmeng Sect Leader Jiang Cheng? You were the kind one who stayed in our house. Yes I remember my parents they treated you as their son. Who are you?" She knew something wasn't right and as I turned to look back at the man in front of us, we all saw him grinning like a manic.

"Ah yes I remember you. How could I not? It afterall caused me great gratification in seeking your parents life" he was laughing whilst we heard a whisper of shock from Wu Meiming "What?".

"Oh yes, I was the one to kill your parents and knew I should have killed you too but call my heart a kind one to let you go and was under the impression that you would either way die of starvation or another way. Seems you survived" he was smirking "oh well you won't be alive for long anyways".

Dismissing the young child he turned his attention towards us and raised a rod in front of him "I can see far too many questions that you all seem to be seeking an answer for" his eyes moved beyond me and I was aware that brother, Jiang Cheng and the children were present along with Wen Ning "let me tell you all a small story" he sat down on a parapet and it reminded of another soul with whom I once stood by his side on the very same place.

"My father met my mother when he was still a member of Gusu Clan and because of your stringent rules and regulations, he could never bring her back to Gusu. Eventually you impeached him and he came back to the village where I was born. In the meanwhile he started the Moling Sect. I could never reside with him for a fact that I was an illegitimate child but that did not hold him back from teaching me everything he wanted me to learn. Eventually I met Master Jin Guang Yao and he took me under his tutelage" his gaze found mine and Wei's "you always thought it was only my father who worked for Master Jin Guang Yao. You're awfully mistaken. He had another loyal soul who dedicated his life to him. Me. Everytime you saw the person using teleportation spell, it was me and not my father. Back during the second siege when it was revealed that you suspected my father, Master Jin Guang Yao asked him to keep me hidden. I was their last line of defence" he started laughing.

"What do you mean?" My brother enquired as he was flabbergasted by the fact that was just revealed.

"Patience ZewuJun, after all you were the one to kill my master" he smirked and that irked me.

"Su Shing, watch your words" my hand against Bichen's hilt tightened and his cold eyes sought mine.

"Lan Wangji, you're a pathetic love sick fool and I have no interest in you but on the other hand, it has always been The Yiling Patriarch who has facinated me" his gaze lingers on Wei and I realise that whenever his gaze found Wei, they had a certain degree of lust in them.

Was he in infatuated with Wei Ying?

"Carry on your story, Su Shing" Wei's voice was soft and I right away understood that this was his tactics. He knew Su Shing had feelings for him and Wei Ying was playing his trump card by being sweet towards this man.

"Throughout my childhood I was brought up by hearing your stories Yiling Patriarch and I must say my heart broke when you died. I had hoped to greet you once but nevertheless, I am glad we could finally meet. It was after your death that Xue Yang was introduced to me and he helped me learn the intricacies of the Stygian Tiger Seal. Agreed it wasn't as powerful as yours and even though we tried, we failed to enhance the function. It was during this time he was wounded and he met Xiao XingChen and started living together. Even throughout those chaotic times I tried to learn about the abilities of Stygian Tiger Seal and that's when I met her father" he pointed his rod towards Wu Meiming.
