Before midnight, he would leave the Rear Courtyard and remain alone until dawn. At that time, although I was young, I was quite perceptive and found it strange, so I secretly crept to the front courtyard to see what was going on.
However, before I could get close, I was discovered and received a severe beating without any mercy. But I had grown accustomed to it; after all, they could never kill me. He also didn't want to bear the reputation of a murderer, so he simply locked me up and privately instructed that no one was allowed to treat my injuries.
Yet my life was resilient. Despite multiple wounds festering, they couldn't wear me down. However, that adventure did yield some insights. Although I didn't witness it firsthand, I heard several men arguing inside the room, but the flickering candlelight only revealed one shadow.
I had many absurd thoughts about this, but I never had the opportunity to verify them. With suspicious behavior and secrecy, could it be that your father is also a demon? Just as I thought of this, I shook my head in denial. No, if your father were a demon, then Qi Xiao Kun and his brother would be Half-Demons as well. But they were clearly human.
I had confirmed before that he was neither a demon nor a monster. You mentioned earlier that your father's origins were shrouded in mystery? After gaining some ability, I investigated and found that the records about him in the martial world only began from his first appearance; prior to that, it seemed no one in the entire martial world had ever seen him.
There is an unwritten rule in the martial world: do not inquire too deeply into the past. Which man who has made a name for himself doesn't have a few lives on his hands? They cannot withstand scrutiny. Thus, this unspoken rule came into being.
No one in the martial world bothered to investigate his past. I thought that perhaps the one who knew the most would be the former head of his family—Qi Hao's father, Madam Zhang Jingxue's father.
You just asked me how he won over people more than twenty years ago? Qi Xiaomian continued to scoff. Ha! At that time, the First Family of the Jianghu was the Zhang Family. Qi Hao was still a nameless underling back then; he challenged opponents from weak to strong as soon as he appeared on the scene and managed to make a name for himself, which gave him opportunities to approach several prominent families.
He certainly had good looks and had already set his sights on several family daughters, particularly Zhang Jingxue. After deliberately making contact with her, they played out several scenarios of hero saving beauty and beauty saving hero behind closed doors.
Once Zhang Jingxue developed feelings for him, he staged an injury and collapsed before Zhang Family Head. The head of the Zhang Family valued talent and took him in. Day by day, Qi Hao showcased his talents and skills before Zhang Family Head, earning even more trust.
Not long after, Zhang Family Head suddenly fell ill. His dying words were to marry his daughter to Qi Hao and pass on the family head position to him. When this news spread, it caused an uproar in the martial world because Zhang Family Head still had other sons whose abilities were quite impressive; how could he possibly pass on leadership to an outsider?
Even if this outsider was about to become Zhang Family's son-in-law, he was still just a son-in-law! Could he possibly be closer than a biological son? Naturally, Zhang Jingxue's brothers were unwilling to accept this. The Zhang Family fell into chaos for a while but was easily suppressed by Qi Hao. At that moment, everyone in the martial world realized that Qi Hao had managed to firmly grasp control over the Zhang Family in just a short period of time.
This is also why Zhang Family's sons were powerless to resist.
