Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 920 16: Revelations

Lan Yeyue caught a glimpse of his expression and snorted disdainfully.

Meng Qianqian asked, "Mao Tu, is it time to tell us the truth now?"

Lan Yeyue sneered, "The truth? You're only starting to care about the truth now, don't you think it's too late?"

"The person in You State..."

Ji Li realized this later and suddenly understood. When Old Sir Meng hosted a martial arts competition for Little Yin Hu, wasn't the person who contended with Lu Yuan to the end... the Grand Marshal?

"So, it was that early."

He murmured.

Lan Yeyue: "More than that, why don't you ask her, how many times has Chu Nan risked his life to save her?"

Ji Li looked at Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian: "I did meet Chu Nan very early on, and I had guessed his identity before we were in You State."

Ji Li looked at Meng Qianqian with a complicated expression: "So you really are..."

He stopped, not finishing his sentence.

When they were drugged at the mountaintop, although they had taken the antidote in advance, they were still unconscious for a while.

The extent of dizziness varied from person to person.

The conversations overheard varied as well.

He sporadically heard bits about Shang Jiu's origins.

He didn't dare believe it, nor did he understand it.

But at this moment, everything became clear.

He had not heard wrong.

The Medicine King did not deceive Ayimulan.

Shang Jiu is Chu Feiyan.

Chu Feiyan is Meng Qianqian.

The first fact he had known for a long time.

The second, he could have detected earlier.

Si Snake's transformation, Mao Tu's harassment, Chen Long's guardianship... so many clues were right in front of him.

"Did Si Snake and Chen Long know from the start?"

He asked quietly.

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian did not deny it.

"What about Lu Yuan?"

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

Ji Li laughed at himself: "So I was the last one, you all kept me in the dark."

He looked coldly at Tan'er, "And you? Did you also know she was Shang Jiu?"

Tan'er leaped to Meng Qianqian's side, hugging Meng Qianqian's arm: "Who cares about her being Shang Jiu! She's my sister!"

"Alright, alright, truly great!"

Ji Li's teeth nearly drew blood from biting so hard.

Just when everyone thought he would continue to challenge Meng Qianqian, he turned to Mao Tu, "Lan Yeyue, you also bear the surname Lan, what is the connection between your Medicine King Valley and the West Night Royal Family? Don't think you can muddle through! Without some connection, the Medicine King wouldn't be so familiar with Liuli Island!"

Lan Yeyue had never imagined that this usually simple guy could hit the mark at critical moments.

Moreover, his train of thought was quite erratic.

"Our Medicine King Valley's ancestors also came from Liuli Island and were granted the surname Lan for their great deeds."

"That's all?"

"What else? Did you think it could be more dramatic?"

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Meng Qianqian and Tan'er, "Thinking everything can have blood ties!"

She and Si Snake are not siblings!

The secret room fell into silence.

Sometimes people are just like this, the more pressed they are, the less they want to speak. Yet, once no one asks, they feel the urge to mention it themselves.

"Do you still want to know about Chu Nan's matters?"

Perhaps she just didn't want Ji Li to keep probing. After all, her ancestors had been in servitude, not exactly prestigious.

Meng Qianqian cooperated readily: "Yes, we do."

This big step down given to her, even if Lan Yeyue had grievances, she couldn't express them.

She glared at Meng Qianqian: "Why didn't I notice before how sycophantic you are?"

Meng Qian cleared her throat.

In the past life, didn't she have to uphold the airs of a Grand Marshal and Lady Chu?

Lan Yeyue, while gently wiping Chu Nan's disfigured face, laid out Chu Nan's past.

As it turned out, Chu Nan did not perish in the great fire back then.

When Lan Yeyue rushed back to the Prince Chu Mansion, Chu Nan barely clung to life.

She took him to the Medicine King Valley for treatment.

With her medical skills, of course, she couldn't save Chu Nan.

She pleaded with her father.

After all, she was his biological daughter, though he didn't want to break the rules, he ultimately agreed.

However, although Chu Nan's life was saved, his appearance, skin, and voice could never be restored.

Later on, Chu Nan willingly became a Medicine Man.

Because only then could he rebuild his foundation.

"This is the truth about how he suddenly acquired martial arts skills, but the price is steep; each time he exercises, it comes at the cost of his lifespan."

As Lan Yeyue spoke, her unwillingness tightly clenched her fists, her teeth almost biting into her lips.

"He could have lived a few more years, but just because, just because of you, he disregards his life time and again!"

She coldly stared at the ground, not looking at Meng Qianqian.

But Meng Qianqian knew she was referring to herself and understood why Chu Nan always avoided her.

He didn't want to meet her in such a state, nor did he want her to find out he had become a short-lived Medicine Man.
