Chapter 1831: Chapter 738: Shao Hua: It Is a Sorrow to Be His Contemporary

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s question, Shao Hua frowned slightly, as if seriously contemplating.

However, as time went on, the expression on her face turned increasingly unpleasant.

Clearly, she encountered some difficulties.

At this moment, seeing Shao Hua in this state, Qiu Tu also let out a slight sigh in his heart.

It seems... his suspicion might be true.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn’t let Shao Hua continue pondering—some questions, if you can’t figure them out right away, will be harder to resolve later.

With this thought in mind, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but ask, "Is it possible the memory isn’t there?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Shao Hua couldn’t help but look up, staring at Qiu Tu with a face full of suspicion, "Did you tamper with my memory?"

Qiu Tu: ??

Is this woman’s head cracked?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but rub his forehead, then said, "Why don’t you suspect your uncle tampered with your memory?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Shao Hua replied, "I thought about that, but... my uncle hasn’t been around me much."

"Moreover, all these years, I never felt there was any issue."

"So... I suspect you even more."

Saying this, Shao Hua glanced at Qiu Tu again, then changed her tone, "Okay. Actually, I also know my uncle is more suspicious."

After speaking, she put away her jest and asked seriously, "So, did my uncle truly tamper with my memory?"

Upon hearing Shao Hua’s words, Qiu Tu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Honestly, I don’t think it was your uncle who tampered with your memory."

A question mark slowly appeared above Shao Hua’s head.

She looked at Qiu Tu in confusion, seemingly waiting for him to explain.

But Qiu Tu didn’t offer a direct explanation, instead, he continued to ask questions.

He asked, "Do you remember anything about your mother?"

Shao Hua paused, then carefully recollected for a moment, before saying, "I remember my mother passed away when I was very young."

Qiu Tu asked, "What about your father?"

Shao Hua’s expressionless face showed some hesitation, "I don’t have any recollection."

"In my memory, any scenes of him never seem to appear."

Qiu Tu said, "Do you remember when you reached the eighth rank?"

Shao Hua thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Over 30 years ago."

Qiu Tu nodded knowingly and continued to ask, "How long did you cultivate?"

Shao Hua thought for a while, then said, "Over 20 years."

To achieve the eighth rank from scratch in 20 years, Shao Hua’s talent is evidently significant.

However, precisely because of this, it exposed the biggest problem.

Qiu Tu looked at Shao Hua and hinted, "The Southern God King has lived for hundreds of years."

Shao Hua suddenly paused, immediately understanding Qiu Tu’s hint.

Her brows furrowed deeply, and she suddenly began to doubt her own memories.

Qiu Tu’s meaning was simple.

The Southern God King is a senior Divine King who has lived for hundreds of years, while Shao Hua, at most, has emerged only in recent decades.

There is at least one or two hundred years between them.

So... how could the Southern God King be Shao Hua’s uncle?

Could Shao Hua’s mother also be a powerful being who could live long?

Yet, in Shao Hua’s memory, why did her mother pass away early?

Due to childbirth complications?

Don’t mention those Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank deities. Even ordinary Catastrophe beings wouldn’t die from childbirth.

Due to an accident?

Let’s not forget that under White’s rule, the "Southern Kingdom" has always been easygoing, without wars, not even major events in the past hundred years.

The Divine King’s sister has the most abundant medical resources of the "Boundless Heart Sea," how could she suddenly pass away?

So, it simply doesn’t add up.

Shao Hua clearly realized this.

She held her head, as if trying to capture fleeting moments from the river of her memory.

But... they were very rare.

Indeed, in her memory, there was her mother’s figure, but it was extremely blurry. And only when she was very young.

It seemed... only when she was two or three years old.

But she couldn’t remember the specifics of what happened.

Qiu Tu didn’t interrupt her and just quietly watched Shao Hua.

Actually, before coming, Qiu Tu had a suspicion in his heart. But he thought it too fanciful.

However, seeing Shao Hua’s reaction now, his suspicion was likely true.

At this moment, as Qiu Tu was pondering this, Shao Hua finally came to and spoke.

She lifted her head, her somewhat heroic face looking at Qiu Tu, then said expressionlessly, "If I’m not mistaken, you should have an answer in your heart, right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu looked at Shao Hua and nodded.

Perhaps because the matter was too bizarre, his face also looked serious.

He said, "I indeed have an assumption in my heart. But you may need to prepare yourself mentally."

Seeing Shao Hua nod, Qiu Tu then slowly said, "Actually... I suspect you aren’t the Southern God King’s niece."

"In fact... have no blood relation with the Southern God King."

Saying this, Qiu Tu took a deep look at Shao Hua and offered his judgment, "You might... simply be a talented orphan adopted by the Southern God King."

"Your parents were likely ordinary people and passed away when you were very young."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Shao Hua’s pupils slightly contracted.

Actually, she had just thought of this possibility, but dared not believe it.

Now, hearing it from the famously meticulous Qiu Tu, her last glimmer of hope dissipated completely.
