Third cousin?
Fu Yuzhu looked at the person in front of him who suddenly changed from a boy to a girl. He was slightly lost in thought. It took him a long time to face her with the gentle and approachable face in his memory.

This is actually the third cousin?
How could I become so young...

Fu Yuzhu's face was full of surprise, but he quickly suppressed his surprise, his excitement and joy just now, and said cautiously: "The third cousin is similar in age to my father. If she were still alive, she would be over eighty this year. , even if you are highly cultivated and will not age, you should still look like an adult."

When he looked at Fu Qingyu, his eyes no longer had the closeness just now, but were full of doubts.

Fu Qingyu was not surprised that he would react like this.

After losing his parents and losing the protection of his family, no matter how good the Luo family was to him, he was still dependent on others. This kind of growth experience destined him to be sensitive, cautious, and think more than others.

Fu Qingyu was not angry because of this question. She turned around and walked up the stairs. She stood on the first step and turned around and said, "Yuzhu, come with me."

Fu Yuzhu followed, but he quietly grabbed a transmission talisman and an escape talisman in his hands behind his back.

Fu Qingyu's consciousness was able to see all these small actions, but she did not point them out. She directly brought Fu Yuzhu into the alchemy room on the second floor, pointing to the cauldron of alchemy furnace in the middle of the room, "That was made by my grandfather back then." Make the elixir furnace for me and gather the incense burner."

In a hidden place at the bottom of the furnace, there is a clan emblem that only the Fu family can recognize.

Then, Fu Qingyu touched the Qingrong Ring on her hand, waved her sleeve to the side, and a stone tablet suddenly appeared and fell to the ground.

The name engraved on it is clearly Fu's Qinglan.

A line of small characters clearly read, "Born in the 18th year of Changcun and died in the 83rd year of Changcun."

Fu Yuzhu was shocked: "This..."

Fu Qingyu said straightforwardly: "This is my tombstone. Pei Jingzhi, oh, the current Qianyang Sword Master erected it for me."

When she saw the tombstone, she never thought that one day the tombstone that Pei Jingzhi erected for herself would be of such use.

"As you can see, I also died in that fire."

"But by chance, I was lucky enough to be reborn. Maybe my life should not have been cut off, or maybe the hundreds of dead souls in our Fu family were unwilling to die in such an unknown way, so I came back to life and captured the true story of those years. Fierce, avenge them."

Fu Qingyu spoke frankly.

Fu Yuzhu couldn't help but fell into silence, looking at Fu Qingyu, his eyes changed from questioning to astonishment, and then from astonishment to shock and realization.

He had already believed most of Fu Qingyu's words. Although his childhood memories were blurry, if he recalled carefully, he could still recall the appearance of his third cousin.

After all, she is the cousin who has the best relationship with my father. She hugged him several times when he was young. Now he still has a golden lock with three sword talismans sealed on him. It was given by his third cousin back then. I heard that the sword talisman was sealed by my cousin-in-law himself.

Hold the incense burner and the tombstone.

What he also remembered at this moment was the young man named Fu Yu who had just left with Chong Li.

This name that was somewhat similar to his was very unfamiliar, but if the last name was changed, he would recognize it.

The only son of the third cousin and her husband, Pei Yu.

Yunxiao Sword Pavilion and Yunhe Mountain Range are far apart to the west and east. News about cousin-in-law Qianyang Sword Master often spread throughout Dongzhou, but news about Pei Yu has never been heard.

He actually changed his surname to his cousin's surname Fu?
It is said that the third cousin is the person with the most outstanding alchemy skills in the Fu family for hundreds of years. Her talent in alchemy is even better than that of her grandfather.

Appearances can be disguised, names can be forged, but alchemy skills cannot deceive people.

The person in front of me had only been in Yunshui City for just two days, and he had negotiated a deal for millions of spiritual stones and elixirs. As soon as he sold them, he was selling top-grade elixirs and perfect-grade elixirs.Uncle Luo and Chong Li both took it for granted that those pills came from the supply of an entire sect behind each other.But if not, who could make so many high-quality elixirs on their own?As his thoughts deepened, Fu Yuzhu realized that he actually believed that the girl younger than him in front of him was his former third cousin.

If it weren't for the third cousin, how could the other party put so much thought into coaxing a person with no wealth like him if he had such ability?
Thinking of this, Fu Yuzhu laughed self-deprecatingly, with a look of shame on his face, "Third cousin, it was Yu Zhu who was offended."

"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing to be cautious."

Fu Qingyu then asked, "Yuzhu, how did you escape from that fire?"

When Fu Qingyu asked this question, a vague expectation rose in her heart.

If Yu Zhu could escape from the fire, would other members of the Fu clan also escape from the fire?

When Fu Yuzhu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise, "Third cousin, when the fire broke out... I was not there."

Fu Qingyu's expression froze, and the smile on her face turned into a bitter smile.

The trace of luck in my heart was shattered.But she knew that this was actually the most reasonable answer.

In that fire, even my grandfather and several elders in the Distraction Realm could not escape, let alone the young children who had not yet started practicing.

Fu Yuzhu: "That year, when my father and mother received the summons from the clan, they were in Yunshui City with Uncle Luo and his family. Chongli and I had been playing together since we were children. My father and mother were anxious to return to the clan. I But I don’t want to leave. The temper I had when I was young..."

Fu Yuzhu was embarrassed to finish.

Fu Qingyu's mind had already seen Fu Yuzhu's cry when he was a child. Needless to say, the child must not have wanted to be separated from his friends at that time, crying and not wanting to leave.

Fu Yuzhu twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment when he mentioned his childhood.

Then he continued: "Father and mother left me in Yunshui City and temporarily entrusted me to Uncle Luo to take care of me. They said that the clan would be over in a few days and they would pick me up again."

Fu Yuzhu didn't need to describe what happened next, Fu Qingyu already knew it.

Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi, who had promised to pick up Yu Zhu in a few days, never came back.

And she, who had also promised Yu'er that she would return to Jiange in a few days, finally broke her promise.It's been 15 years since I left.

In the simply decorated alchemy room, Fu Qingyu and Fu Yuzhu, cousins ​​who had just met each other, looked at each other with the same bitterness in their eyes.

"Third cousin, what happened in that fire that year..."

"Uncle Luo and the Luo family have been secretly investigating these years, but they can't find any clues. They have suspected the Pei family. After the Luo family was destroyed, the Pei family cannibalized the Fu family's pill business. Third cousin, that fire Was it released by the Pei family?"

Before coming to Yunshui City, she also hoped to get some information from the Luo family.

But thinking about it now, she was at the scene and didn't know what was going on. How could the Luo family, as an outsider, know?

Fu Qingyu also suspected the Pei family, but there was no evidence to prove that the fire was set by the Pei family.

She said truthfully: "No one saw the person who started the fire."

"The fire came to the Fu clan for no reason without any warning. It couldn't be blown away or put out."
