Chapter 101 Zhang Lexuan's Background.
Zhang Lexuan trembled upon hearing this. The tone and the words of the other party seemed to indicate that he had known about her all along.
Based on her previous intuition and the martial spirits of the two individuals, Zhang Lexuan has now basically confirmed her guess.
His voice trembled slightly: "You...you know me?"
When Zhang Lexuan was very young, her family was wiped out, and she was the only one left. She was rescued by Dragon God Douluo Mu En and brought back to Shrek Academy.
Because of her powerful talent, she has been nurtured like a treasure by the academy since her martial soul awakened. Apart from the incident with a certain "supreme elder", she has hardly suffered any grievances.
But this doesn't mean she doesn't miss her family; she just keeps that longing hidden in her heart.
Now, an elderly man who seemed to be a family member was right in front of her, and she felt uneasy, her emotions hard to describe, because the other party was, after all, a person from the Sun Moon Empire.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's constantly changing expression, Kong Deming said with a hint of emotion, "The first time I heard your name was several years ago at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament."
Zhang Lexuan clenched her fists, her breathing becoming rapid. The other party had indeed known about her all along.
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Kong Deming's eyes as he continued, "Back then, someone sent word that a student from Shrek Academy had appeared in the competition with a Moon Martial Soul. You must know that the Moon Martial Soul is the inherited Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family!"
With each word Kong Deming spoke, Zhang Lexuan's heart beat faster involuntarily.
Shrek Academy has always regarded the Sun Moon Empire as an enemy, and normally they should try their best to understand their opponent and gather all kinds of information about the Sun Moon Empire.
However, the reality is that Shrek Academy has absolutely no understanding of the Sun Moon Empire, just like a self-righteous superior who looks down on those who challenge him.
In the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the Shrek Academy members only learned about Xu Tianzhen's Sun Martial Soul through He Caitou, the fugitive prince of the Sun and Moon factions.
So Zhang Lexuan really didn't know before that the Moon Martial Soul was actually a royal inheritance martial soul unique to the Sun Moon Empire!
So she's not just a member of the Sun Moon Empire, but also of royal blood?!
"When the news reached the country, the royal family took it very seriously and immediately launched an investigation. Your identity was quickly ascertained."
Zhang Lexuan listened quietly without saying a word.
Upon hearing this, a hint of fear mingled with the expectation in her eyes.
Suddenly, it seemed like I didn't want the other person to continue, but in my dilemma, I didn't have the courage to leave directly.
"You were born in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Your father was a minor nobleman. After his clan was wiped out by his enemies, you were the only one left who was rescued by the Dragon God Douluo Mu En."
Zhang Lexuan also knew this information. Mu En had told her about her background, but it had nothing to do with the Sun Moon Empire.
Your mother's name is Kong Lin!
Zhang Lexuan was too young when her family's tragedy occurred, and her memories of her parents were already blurred; she couldn't even remember their names or faces.
Now that Kong Deming specifically mentioned her mother's name, Zhang Lexuan knew that her martial spirit was likely inherited from her mother, and that her mother, Kong Lin, had the bloodline of the Sun and Moon Royal Family.
"My Kong family also suffered misfortune, and our clansmen were scattered in various places. I have never met your mother, but according to seniority, you should call me Uncle."
Zhang Lexuan's throat bobbed, but she remained silent.
It was partly because what Kong Deming said was unacceptable to her at the moment, and partly because it was impossible to determine the truth or falsehood of this one-sided account.
"The Kong family was involved in the palace coup and almost suffered extermination, causing their descendants to suffer. It is our family that has let you down."
"After learning that you were raised by Dragon God Douluo and educated at Shrek Academy, and that you were already a six-ring Soul Emperor before you were even twenty years old, I was relieved. That's why I didn't look for you, for fear of causing you unnecessary trouble."
"I just never expected that we would meet by chance. The continent is so vast, yet we have run into each other in the far north."
Kong Deming spoke sincerely, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then why... why did you say it now, senior?"
Zhang Lexuan's voice was no longer as gentle as before, sounding slightly low and hoarse.
Kong Deming smiled and said, "I wasn't planning on recognizing each other, but my little granddaughter has already said that our martial spirits are the same, so there's no way to hide it now."
Upon hearing this, Kong Ling lowered her head, feeling as if she had done something wrong.
Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment. She knew that she would ask about matters involving martial spirits even if the other party didn't tell her.
She fell silent, unsure of how to respond.
Given the current situation, Kong Deming's words are logically clear and supported by his martial spirit, so what he said should be the truth.
However, having grown up at Shrek Academy and received its education, while not exactly hostile towards the Sun Moon Empire, it was certainly not friendly.
Now that she suddenly knows she is of royal blood from the Sun Moon Empire, she naturally finds it hard to accept.
Just when Zhang Lexuan was at a loss, her savior appeared.
Two figures flew over from behind and landed beside Zhang Lexuan; they were her two teammates from this operation.
Wu Ming was unaware of what had happened and looked warily at Kong Deming across from her.
"Le Xuan, what's wrong?"
Zhang Lexuan shook her head, gave Wu Ming a reassuring look, and then took a deep breath: "I've remembered what you said, senior. Thank you again for your help. We have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Zhang Lexuan gave Wu Ming and Ling Luochen a look, and the two of them flew away without hesitation.
Watching the three figures disappear into the snowstorm, Kong Ling pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa, did I say something wrong just now?"
Kong Deming smiled and patted Kong Ling's head, saying, "Ling'er didn't say anything wrong. Perhaps this is fate."
Kong Xuan knew that many readers had speculated that Zhang Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul was related to Kong Deming, and now he was certain. He never expected that he would witness this on his trip to the far north.
He walked to Kong Ling's side, looked at Kong Deming and said, "Grandpa, the Kong family is now dwindling in talent. She's already a Soul Douluo at such a young age, why not let her return to the Sun and Moon Realm?"
Kong Deming gazed into the distance and sighed, "How could I not want to? But as I said before, it was the family that wronged her. Now that she is living well at Shrek Academy, there is no need to disturb her life. Even if she returns to the Sun and Moon Academy, it may not be the life she wants."
As he spoke, Kong Deming looked at Kong Xuan and Kong Ling, his eyes filled with pride, and said, "Besides, the Kong family now has two little geniuses like you, and Grandpa is already very satisfied!"
Kong Ling, who had been praised, finally raised her head and was no longer as downcast as before.
Although Kong Xuan did not show anything on his face, his inner thoughts were quite complex.
He knew very well that Zhang Lexuan's life at Shrek Academy wasn't as idyllic as it seemed.
It's true that Dragon God Douluo Mu En trained her, but a large part of the reason was also for the sake of his great-grandson Bei Bei.
After all, the reason Zhang Lexuan was brought back to Shrek Academy was to be Beibei's child bride.
If Kong Deming knew this news, out of guilt towards his clan, he would probably rush to Shrek Academy to snatch Zhang Lexuan back!
However, Kong Xuan ultimately did not reveal this matter, firstly because it was difficult to explain how he knew, and secondly because he already had his own solution.
After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament next year, he will have the opportunity to study at Shrek Academy, where he will have plenty of time to get to know his "big sister"!
