Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 151

The viewers who exited the livestream felt unsatisfied and immediately ran to Weibo to continue discussing what had happened.

After the camera shut off, Ruan Qiu nodded at Xue Wu and turned to face Zheng Jiu.

After picking up that sword, she felt a connection between Zheng Jiu and her master, Zheng Bahuang. When she used the most basic yet unique sword technique her master had taught her, she noticed a change in Zheng Jiu’s expression, confirming her suspicions.

Now standing before Zheng Jiu, he immediately rose from his chair, placing the sword box on the table, and nervously asked, “Miss Ruan, do you know someone named… Zheng Bahuang?”

As expected.

Ruan Qiu closed her eyes, feeling a sense of fate settling. “I do. He is my master.”

In the Infinite Flow World, while each teammate had their own skills and had taught her a bit, only Zheng Bahuang could be truly called Ruan Qiu’s Master.

Zheng Jiu’s hands trembled. The younger companion behind him immediately arranged for the staff to find a resting room so that Zheng Jiu and Ruan Qiu could talk privately.

Zheng Jiu glanced at Xue Wu, who was following Ruan Qiu, and seeing no reaction from her, he kept silent as they entered the room.

After closing the door, Zheng Jiu, with red-rimmed eyes, asked Ruan Qiu, “Is your master still… alive?”

The atmosphere turned heavy. Ruan Qiu slowly shook her head.

Zheng Jiu had already anticipated this outcome, but hearing the bad news for real, he couldn’t help but cry.

“My brother,” he choked out, “was the most gifted and hardworking among us when he practiced martial arts. We all believed he should be the next leader. But then he was diagnosed with cancer, and his health deteriorated day by day.”

He paused, wiping his tears, then continued, “One day, he suddenly disappeared. They all thought he left to escape the burden, but I know he wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Can you tell me,” Zheng Jiu Jie trembled as he asked, “where my brother went? No matter what you say, I won’t tell anyone. I’ll keep the secret; I swear by the Zheng family’s ancestral teachings. Can you tell me?”

Ruan Qiu hesitated for two seconds, then said, “I can.”

“He went to another world,” she said softly. “Over there, he has no illness and practices martial arts every day. He once said that practicing martial arts was the greatest joy of his life.”

Zheng Jiu’s sorrowful expression relaxed a bit. He couldn’t help but ask Ruan Qiu again, “Is that true?”

He noticed the phrase “another world” in Ruan Qiu’s words. He had also considered this possibility. While it sounded fantastical, it seemed to explain why his brother went missing and why this girl before him mastered their Zheng family’s internal martial arts.

Even if Ruan Qiu were lying, he wanted to believe her and keep the secret.

In his heart, since Ruan Qiu was his brother’s disciple, she was one of the Zheng family.

“Of course it’s true,” Ruan Qiu smiled at him. “You see, my martial arts come from him. If he were unwell, how could he teach me?”

This was the truth.
