In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 368: A Familiar Visitor

Su Yin was like a ticking time bomb, and no one knew when she might betray him.

"If I am going to do it, then I must do it to the best," Yue Mingxuan silently vowed.

He did not know how strong his abilities truly were, but if he did not try, he would never know.

He stayed in the Dongyue Hua family for several days.

During these days, he fully experienced the Hua family’s principles of "teaching and nurturing."

Hua Fengyun, who was as gentle as jade, actually possessed tremendous influence and energy, capable of shaping and guiding those around him.

His ability in teaching and nurturing truly could be considered remarkable.

However, there had always been one matter that lingered in Yue Mingxuan’s heart, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

He wanted to know what relationship his mother had with the Dongyue Hua family.

Back then, his mother also seemed to have been an extremely powerful figure, and her influence was something even Yue Mingxuan himself did not fully understand.

"I wonder what kind of person my mother truly was. Does your Dongyue Hua family have any records about her?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

He had not found any information about his mother in the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

He felt quite puzzled, because he had no impression of what kind of person his mother actually was.

"Your mother... I have only heard of her in legends," Hua Fengyun said with a smile. "After all, those are stories from an older generation."

"I want to know more," Yue Mingxuan’s gaze was very earnest.

For some reason, he simply strongly wanted to know more about his mother.

What kind of person was she? Why was there a hidden passage between his room and hers? Why was there a bamboo scroll in that secret chamber that contained information even the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall did not possess?

The doubts in his heart grew more and more, and Yue Mingxuan did not know what to do.

He had not told Xie Yunlan about the contents of the bamboo scroll earlier, not because he did not trust him, but because he wanted to confirm the accuracy of the information first.

The sudden appearance of the hidden passage also left him full of confusion.

"What kind of person was my mother exactly?" Yue Mingxuan repeated softly.

Hua Fengyun’s eyes also carried a trace of nostalgia as he said, "Your mother was an extremely outstanding person."

"In the past, my father and your mother were good friends. He was amazed by your mother’s vast knowledge, just as I am now amazed by your knowledge," Hua Fengyun said with a gentle smile. "My father once told me that your mother was the most wise woman he had ever seen."

"So my mother was really that amazing!" Yue Mingxuan said with deep admiration.

"Mm, he once said that your mother simply had no interest in becoming emperor. If she had, she could have ruled even better than the emperor of that time, who was your father. Of course, that was a rather presumptuous statement. In Dongyue, there has never been a precedent of a woman or a Ger becoming emperor."

Yue Mingxuan nodded.

The people of this era were indeed relatively conservative and the education women received was also quite limited.

In truth, Yue Mingxuan felt that men, women, and Ger were equal.

What he hoped for was a truly equal world.

He believed there were many outstanding people who were simply buried under the current systems.

"So my mother really was a woman of great talent and spirit," Yue Mingxuan said.

"It is a pity that such a person suddenly died later. At the time, many people had doubts about your mother’s death. My father also did not believe she simply died like that. However, when Hua Ji first gave you that bamboo scroll, he did not know you were the Fifth Prince of Dongyue."

"Those words were merely something I said casually. They were teachings from my former teacher," Yue Mingxuan replied with a smile.

In truth, he no longer remembered exactly what he had said back then, but those wise words had mostly been learned later from books.

Hua Fengyun said, "Your mother also once said, ’Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.’ I felt that was extremely reasonable. I often wonder what experiences she went through to be able to say such insightful words."

Yue Mingxuan simply smiled and did not respond.

He had not known how powerful his mother truly was, nor what kind of person she really was.

He only knew that she seemed to have some connection with The Black Archon.

He also felt somewhat puzzled as to why he had never seen a portrait of his mother in the palace.

If his father truly loved her so deeply, there should not have been no portrait left behind.

Yue Mingxuan sighed.

What kind of person exactly was his mother?

"Since you also do not know any information about my mother, I will have to find another way to investigate," Yue Mingxuan said with a faint smile.

"I am sorry that I cannot help you further," Hua Fengyun said, his tone carrying a hint of regret.

That night, just as Yue Mingxuan was preparing to sleep, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

He was no longer the young girl who knew nothing of the world.

It was obvious that someone had intruded into his room.

Moreover, that person clearly knew he was in the Dongyue Hua family and not in the imperial palace.

Thinking of this, Yue Mingxuan felt a surge of fear.

If this person were Rong Zishen, what would he do then?

However, he still forced himself to remain calm.

"Since you are here, why not show yourself?" he said.

"You actually noticed me. It seems that during your time in Dongyue, you have developed quite good alertness."

The voice carried a hint of amusement, but the moment Yue Mingxuan heard it, he calmed down considerably.
