When Qin Yiwei really took out a pile of bottles, Liu Hongcheng no longer dared to hide anything.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Liu Hongcheng was on the verge of tears.
He's too miserable!
But he was also very tactful, he knew that if he didn't bow his head now, he would really suffer.
These people clearly weren't soft-hearted, and he had no qualifications to stubbornly resist.
—Being in someone else's territory and still acting tough, wasn't that just seeking death?
Since he would have to confess in the end anyway, he could at least choose a less painful process.
"You're really going to talk?" Qin Yiwei looked at him with some regret.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Liu Hongcheng became even more nervous.
That expression of hers was too terrifying!
What kind of medicine was she planning to feed him?
Thinking of the methods of alchemists, cold sweat broke out on Liu Hongcheng's forehead.
Many alchemists, after developing new medicines, would find people to test them on.
As for the results, no one could guarantee them.
That was for proper alchemists too. If they were poison masters who cultivated evil techniques, then it would really be using lives to test medicines!
How could Liu Hongcheng dare gamble with his own life?
"Alright, then speak."
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Hongcheng swallowed and spoke cautiously.
"He really is your younger brother."
The moment these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Although she had been mentally prepared, Liu Yizi's pupils still shrank sharply. She grabbed Meng Fanzé's arm, her body trembling.
But, after venting earlier, she was much calmer now.
At least she didn't break down crying again.
Meng Fanzé was also extremely shocked, "I-I'm Ah Zi's younger brother?!"
A biological one?!
Liu Yizi was flushed with excitement, but still retained a sliver of rationality, "What proof do you have?"
Liu Hongcheng lowered his head, "There's a small birthmark on the back of his neck."
Liu Yizi immediately pulled Meng Fanzé over and indeed found an irregular gray birthmark on the back of his neck.
Mu Shiyue raised an eyebrow, "Anyone with eyes can see that birthmark. Any other evidence?"
Everyone suddenly understood.
Right, anyone could see such an obvious birthmark.
That wasn't very convincing.
Liu Yizi's excitement paused for a moment, her gaze turning cold as she looked over.
Liu Hongcheng shrank back, "Below his navel, there are three moles in a row."
Meng Fanzé's eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "You peeked at me bathing?!"
Everyone: "..."
Even Mu Shiyue couldn't help but knock on his head, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Liu Yizi immediately reached out to pull at Meng Fanzé's clothes, wanting to see clearly.
Meng Fanzé was so frightened that he grabbed his clothes and retreated repeatedly, looking at her as if she was a rogue.
Liu Yizi's hand froze midair, her expression a little embarrassed.
Even if they were biological siblings, that action was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"I'll do it," Chu Jingzhuo stepped forward.
Although Meng Fanzé's reaction already showed that he did have moles, it still needed to be confirmed.
"I'll have to trouble you," Liu Yizi immediately gratefully looked at him.
"It's nothing." Chu Jingzhuo smiled, then took Meng Fanzé into a room.
Soon, they came back out.
Chu Jingzhuo nodded, "There are indeed moles."
Liu Yizi immediately rushed forward, hugging Meng Fanzé as she burst into tears, "Little brother! Sister finally found you!"
Meng Fanzé was at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
He looked helplessly toward Mu Shiyue, seeking help from his master.
Mu Shiyue gave him a reassuring look, telling him not to be nervous.
With his master there, Meng Fanzé really wasn't as nervous anymore. His hands, which had been stiff in midair, slowly came down onto Liu Yizi's back, awkwardly comforting her, "Y-you don't need to cry, I-I'm fine."
As he comforted her, today's events gradually became clear, and his expression slowly changed.
Meng Fanzé's father was Meng Yuanchao, the second master of the Meng Family. His mother, Tan Wu, was Meng Yuanchao's mistress.
When he was a few months old, he followed Tan Wu back to the Meng Family.
Perhaps because he wasn't clever or quick-witted and seemed rather foolish, the Meng Family didn't like him much, they only liked to tease and bully him. Even Tan Wu treated him poorly.
After Tan Wu gave birth to a younger son, her attitude toward Meng Fanzé became even worse, beating or scolding him at every turn.
Meng Fanzé had always thought that it was because he was too stupid and slow that his mother disliked him so much.
On his tenth birthday, his younger brother accidentally fell while playing outside and was seriously injured.
As a result, Tan Wu nearly beat him to death, saying he hadn't taken good care of his younger brother.
If it wasn't for someone passing by, he might've died.
Although he wasn't very smart, he was still deeply hurt.
So he secretly ran away.
After wandering outside for a period of time, he met a couple from the Mu family and was brought back to Wanxuan Sect, becoming Mu Shiyue's fifth disciple.
At first, he secretly found opportunities to return to the Meng Family, wanting to see if anyone was looking for him.
Then, he happened to discover Tan Wu viciously cursing him, wishing him dead outside, never to return.
She even said that if he came back, she would definitely beat him to death, because if he hadn't been careless, how could his younger brother have been injured?
Meng Fanzé had been young back then, but his heart was thoroughly broken.
From that day on, he no longer thought of the Meng Family and stayed peacefully at Wanxuan Sect.
Over the years, with his grandmaster, master, and fellow disciples, he had almost forgotten about these things.
But now, Liu Yizi's appearance made him realize that he wasn't a child of the Meng Family, and Tan Wu wasn't his biological mother!
For a moment, Meng Fanzé's expression became complicated and strange, his body trembling slightly.
He didn't know what emotions to use to face this matter, but tears kept falling uncontrollably.
Seeing the siblings hugging each other and crying, everyone said nothing and quietly stepped back, giving them space to vent their emotions.
Xin Jinrui even dragged Liu Hongcheng away.
After the siblings had vented their emotions and shared what they had experienced over the years, Liu Yizi finally pulled Meng Fanzé over to Liu Hongcheng.
"Where is my sister?" Liu Yizi looked at Liu Hongcheng with killing intent in her eyes.
Since her younger brother had been found, what about her younger sister?
And her sister was a girl, if she had fallen into a bad place, then her fate…
Thinking of this, Liu Yizi's gaze became even colder.
Faced with this question, Liu Hongcheng felt helpless, "I don't know! D-don't hit me, I really don't know! I really don't know where she was sent!"
If he hadn't happened to see Meng Fanzé and recognized the obvious birthmark, he wouldn't have known either!
"I don't believe you!" Meng Fanzé also looked fierce. "Speak now, or I'll kill you!"
Liu Hongcheng cried, "I really don't know! I only saw the birthmarks on you back then! Your sister was taken away by someone else!"
Both of their expressions darkened, wishing they could kill him.
"If he doesn't know, there's nothing we can do about it," Mu Shiyue stepped forward, her expression calm. "If you want to find your sister, it's faster to go after the mastermind."
