Chapter 468: Chapter 0468: Qi Shijie’s biological father
Ye Xunhuan could not help but shudder from head to toe!
At this moment, he fully understood why the other party was following him; it was to avenge Qi Shijie.
What puzzled Ye Xunhuan was, from where did Qi Jieyu find such a skilled expert?
Ye Xunhuan could feel that this man was clearly stronger than Xu Yun had been, probably by more than just a small margin!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Xunhuan’s mind, reminding him of something Little Nine had told him.
Qi Jieyu’s current husband, Jiang Wenhao, was not Qi Shijie’s biological father; Qi Shijie had another man as his true father!
Could this man be Qi Shijie’s biological father?
"Are you Qi Shijie’s biological father?" Ye Xunhuan tentatively asked.
A look of surprise flashed across the man’s face, "I didn’t expect you to know so much."
"Yes, I am Qi Shijie’s biological father—Shi Yunfeng!"
Originally, Shi Yunfeng met Qi Jieyu by a mere chance.
That time, Shi Yunfeng was on a mission from his master, and although he completed it, he ended up severely injured and fled to Huaxia Province.
As fate would have it, Shi Yunfeng encountered Qi Jieyu, or more precisely, stumbled into the Qi residence and hid in Qi Jieyu’s boudoir.
The first time she saw Shi Yunfeng, Qi Jieyu was startled; he was completely soaked in blood, and his clothes were in tatters, making him look like a refugee from a camp.
With a man suddenly in her boudoir, Qi Jieyu was naturally terrified half to death and instinctively wanted to scream, but Shi Yunfeng quickly covered her mouth to keep her from crying out.
One could say that the affinity and love between Qi Jieyu and Shi Yunfeng began from that encounter.
Back then, Shi Yunfeng was severely injured, and Qi Jieyu took meticulous care of him. This care lasted for three months, during which affection slowly developed between them.
Subsequently, they naturally became intimate.
However, Shi Yunfeng couldn’t possibly stay there, and since he was already married, marriage with Qi Jieyu was out of the question, so their relationship could only be star-crossed.
But unexpectedly, Qi Jieyu became pregnant with Shi Yunfeng’s son.
An unwed pregnancy might not be much of an issue now, but twenty years ago, it was undoubtedly a scandal, especially since the Qi family had quite a reputation in Huaxia Province back then!
Qi Jieyu resented Shi Yunfeng, resented him for not marrying her, and hated him for seducing her despite already having a wife. She wanted to terminate the pregnancy but couldn’t bear to do it.
Because the child was hers and Shi Yunfeng’s.
It could be said that her love was as deep as her hatred.
During that period, Qi Jieyu was lost and trapped in a dilemma, almost always drowning her sorrows in alcohol. At that time, Jiang Wenhao had already made his appearance by Qi Jieyu’s side, incessantly pursuing her.
By chance, in a bar, Qi Jieyu pulled Jiang Wenhao into drinking with her, and they both got terribly drunk!
In a bar, men and women who get drunk can easily engage in intimate and ambiguous acts.
It was also because of that one encounter that Qi Jieyu and Jiang Wenhao gradually stepped into the hall of matrimony, and Jiang Wenhao thus became Qi Shijie’s father in name.
After marrying Jiang Wenhao, Qi Jieyu hardly had any contact with Shi Yunfeng, and if it were not for Qi Shijie’s murder this time, she probably would still not reach out to Shi Yunfeng.
The hurt this man had brought her was just too great. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Meanwhile, Shi Yunfeng knew that Qi Shijie was his son, but he couldn’t take him away and had to leave him by Qi Jieyu’s side. Yet, who would have thought that he would be killed by Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan looked at Shi Yunfeng with some surprise.
Fuck, Qi Shijie really isn’t Jiang Wenhao’s son after all, he truly is the child Qi Jieyu had with another man, Jiang Wenhao marrying Qi Jieyu was completely a buy-one-get-one-free!
At first, when Xiaojiu was telling Ye Xunhuan about this, Ye Xunhuan was skeptical, but now it seemed that what Jiang Wenhao said could very well be true, he married Qi Jieyu for revenge.
This Jiang Wenhao was terrifying indeed, marrying his enemy’s daughter and even raising another man’s son for more than twenty years.
Even though it basically cost Jiang Wenhao no money, you have to admit that Jiang Wenhao’s endurance was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan felt Jiang Wenhao could be compared to the ancient figure who endured hardship to seek revenge, Goujian.
"You killed my only son..."
"He provoked me first!" Ye Xunhuan said evenly, "I gave him a way out, but he insisted on courting death!"
Shi Yunfeng snorted coldly, "Killed is killed, how can you still try to excuse yourself?"
"I am not excusing myself," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "I just want to tell you that if someone wants to die, I naturally will kindly help them out."
"Doing good deeds, it’s our Huaxia’s traditional virtue, no need to thank me!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, a fire of rage ignited in Shi Yunfeng’s heart, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Even though he hadn’t been involved with Qi Shijie, Qi Shijie was his son, his only son, and Shi Yunfeng often paid attention to Qi Shijie in secret.
The four black-clad men by Qi Jieyu’s side were placed there by Shi Yunfeng himself, intended to protect Qi Jieyu and her son Qi Shijie.
But who could have expected, the four black-clad men were all killed, and Qi Shijie was done in by Ye Xunhuan.
Upon hearing this news, Shi Yunfeng was unspeakably enraged. Originally, he came to contend for the Xuan Stone, also known as He Luo, but he did not act and let others do it, as he intended to kill Ye Xunhuan and avenge Qi Shijie. But who knew that Ye Xunhuan would suddenly disappear.
Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan has now returned.
"So today, I will do a good deed too and send you to hell!"
"I don’t want to die!"
"That’s not for you to decide!"
The moment Shi Yunfeng’s words fell, his right hand shook slightly, and the Soft Sword tied at his waist was directly in his grip, and his entire being charged towards Ye Xunhuan with the momentum of rolling thunder.
Ye Xunhuan’s expression grew slightly stern; he hadn’t expected Shi Yunfeng to attack as soon as he said he would, and his first move was a killing strike!
The Soft Sword, with its blade soft as silk and difficult to control, requires intense focus of mind, energy, and spirit to practice, making it a highly difficult form of swordsmanship among sword types, completely different from the hard sword.
The poem re-gifted to Lu Zhan praises the Soft Sword, "What use is steel that has been tempered a hundred times if it transforms into tenderness that wraps around one’s finger."
It is also recorded in Mengxi Bi Tan about the trace of the Soft Sword, "Force can bend it like a hook, and it clangs when released, resounding with sound, then straightens like a bowstring..."
This demonstrates the flexibility of the Soft Sword, which is unsuitable for chopping and thrusting and extremely difficult to master. Without proper control, one could injure oneself, but once mastered, its lethal power is considerable.
Once completely mastered, the Soft Sword can act like a whip, able to lash out at will, and even if a strike doesn’t land, a flick can bring about a rapid next attack, leaving the opponent with no chance to defend.
Although the Soft Sword in Shi Yunfeng’s hand wasn’t lashing out like a whip, it was like a boneless venomous snake, winding and hissing as it charged towards Ye Xunhuan.
