Chapter 957 – An Unfair Destiny

Back in the obams’ territory, in order to prevent the Ascendant Bluegold Array from being broken, Qin Yu decided to kill the fallen human array formation master, Blue Torrent. This person was incomparably strong, and the only reason Qin Yu managed to succeed in the end was all because one person delayed time for him.

That person’s name was Hu An. He fought until his mortal body finally collapsed and all that remained was his head. Before he died, Qin Yu had given him a promise…

Zero was the person that he told Hu An he would find.

He took out a jade bottle. A drop of blood was sealed inside. With a thought, the bottle’s seal vanished.

Hum –

A drop of blood gently trembled. Leaning on Qin Yu’s back, Zero suddenly stiffened, her eyes going wide as she looked at the jade bottle.

“This…this is…”

With this, he was sure.

Qin Yu took a deep breath. He felt the cold slowly flow through his chest and stomach before he breathed it back out. “This drop of blood came from your father.”

Zero’s eyes widened even further. “Father?”

Qin Yu didn’t conceal anything. He explained what happened to Hu An. When he felt Zero shake, he said, “I only had a brief acquaintance with your father and I have no idea what happened in the past. But, not once has he ever forgotten about you. Even before he died, his only wish was that I could find you and make up a little for what he lacked so much as a father.”

Tears began to flow from Zero’s eyes. She never imagined that in this lifetime, she would be able to learn about her family.

But why was he already dead?

After a long silence, Zero wiped away her tears. She quietly mumbled, “What was his name?”

“Hu An.” Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, “As far as I know, he was related to Celestial Retribution.”

Zero whispered in a low voice, “Hu An…then, did he tell you my name?”

Qin Yu said, “Hu Shan. It’s a name that means coral.”

Zero smiled. “So I had a name all along. Hu Shan…my name is Hu Shan…” She closed her eyes and gently lied down on Qin Yu’s back. “You should be my father’s friend. Then according to our ranks, I should call you uncle…this is a strange feeling. I suddenly feel as if I still have family in this world. No wonder I felt so close to you.”

“Uncle Qin…this title is a bit awkward…I really thank you for not hiding this from me. Now, I’m a little tired. I’m going to close my eyes and rest a little. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Qin with protecting me...”

Her voice gradually faded away. Although her expression was calm, her heart and mind were in chaos.

Qin Yu said, “Alright.”

In truth, there were still some words he hid in his heart and didn’t speak out. Since I made a promise with your father, I will do my best to help you survive.

Zero was Hu Shan, and Hu Shan was Hu An’s daughter. In a way, Qin Yu owed Hu An a life…this method of calculation was a bit complex and strange, but it was a good way to return it. Qin Yu determined that he owed her a great deal.

If so, then some previous thoughts of his needed to change.

At the very least, he couldn’t watch on helplessly as the woman hidden in Hu Shan’s body continued to recklessly destroy her vitality. Each time Hu Shan borrowed that woman’s strength
