"Not only does he know who you are, but he also knows that I took care of you when I was young.”Zhou Zhiruo said.
"How…how is this possible?" Zhang Wuji looked at Xu Liang in shock.
Zhou Zhiruo smiled at Xu Liang and asked," Young Master, can you tell me now?”
Xu Liang smiled and turned to look at Zhang Wuji." The first time I saw you, I knew you were Zhang Wuji because you looked too similar to your father, Hero Zhang Five."”
"Big Brother Xu, you know my father?" Zhang Wuji asked in surprise,
Xu Liang smiled and said," Of course I know him. Because Swordsman Zhang the Five is our family's benefactor."”
"Benefactor?" Zhang Wuji said in surprise,
Xu Liang nodded and said," I'm afraid Swordsman Zhang the Five didn't take such a small matter to heart. It happened many years ago. At that time, there was neither you nor me. My father and mother had just gotten married. On the way to pick up my mother, they were suddenly met with bandits. If Swordsman Zhang the Five hadn't been nearby and saved my parents, they would have been killed. Of course, I wouldn't have been there." At that time, my parents wanted to thank Swordsman Zhang the Five for saving their lives, but because Swordsman Zhang the Five had something urgent to do, they left. Therefore, ever since I was born, my parents have been telling me that Hero Zhang the Fifth is our family's savior. If we meet Hero Zhang the Fifth one day, we must repay him. Because my mother's drawing skills are not bad, she drew a portrait of Hero Zhang the Fifth based on her memory and hung it on the wall of our house. Our family would pray for the safety of Hero Zhang the Fifth in front of the portrait every day. As time passed, the image of Hero Zhang the Fifth was imprinted in my mind.”
After Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo heard this, they looked at Xu Liang with gratitude and admiration. To be able to pray for their savior every day and even let their children remember his kindness, what a family that valued relationships and loyalty.
Seeing the two people looking at him with a much gentler and kinder gaze, Xu Liang almost laughed out loud. He secretly admired himself and said," Brother is simply a genius! I'm probably the first person in the world to lie to the point of touching others! However, the people of this era were too stupid to believe such an idiotic lie. It seemed that I was destined to deceive Zhang Wuji to death. 'It seems like Zhou Zhiruo is also quite touched by my lie. She knows that my family is so affectionate and righteous, so she definitely thinks that I'm an affectionate and righteous person. That's good!' You pretended to be great before, and now you know that I'm a righteous person. Hehe, that's about it.”
"Big Brother Xu, where are your parents?" Zhang Wuji quickly asked.
Xu Liang sighed and pretended to be sad." My parents passed away when I was ten.”
When Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo heard this, they also lowered their heads sadly. Zhang Wuji said apologetically," I'm sorry, Big Brother Xu.”
"It's alright." Xu Liang smiled and said," I don't feel sad. At least I completed the mission my father gave me before he died.”
"What mission?" Zhang Wuji was puzzled.
"When my parents passed away, Wuji, you, Swordsman Zhang Five, and Madam Zhang appeared in the Central Plains. My parents knew that they were dying, so they told me to find Swordsman Zhang the Fifth and ask me to serve him for the rest of my life to repay his kindness. " I promised my father that after the two elders passed away, I would leave the village and look for Swordsman Zhang the Five. I asked around and finally found out where Swordsman Zhang the Five was. However, I accidentally heard about the tragedy at Dragon Gate Escort. I was worried about Swordsman Zhang the Five's safety, so I rushed to Dragon Gate Escort. Unfortunately, when I arrived, Swordsman Zhang the Five was already…" Xu Liang pretended to be in pain and lowered his head.
When Zhang Wuji heard this, his eyes gradually turned red. After all, he had witnessed the incident back then with his own eyes. His parents had committed suicide in front of him. If it were any other child, they would have had a mental breakdown long ago.
Zhou Zhiruo couldn't bear to see Zhang Wuji and Xu Liang's sorrowful expressions, so she quickly changed the topic." Young Master Xu, what happened next?”
Liang Xu took a deep breath and continued," Later, when I found out that the son of Hero Zhang the Five was not dead, I secretly swore to protect the son of Hero Zhang the Five. So, I searched everywhere for you, Wuji. Later, I found out that Perfected Zhang took you to Wudang Mountain, so I rushed to Wudang. However, when I arrived, I heard that you seemed to be injured. Perfected Zhang took you to Shaolin to treat your illness, so I quickly followed. I finally met you and Perfected Zhang at the lakeside of the Han River, as well as Chang Yuchun and the young Miss Zhou.”
Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo looked at each other. Zhang Wuji shook his head and said doubtfully," But I didn't see you at that time. Besides, if Big Brother Xu had been with us, my grandmaster would have noticed you, right?”
