[When Fu Wangdai was young, she was very naïve and never doubted anything Fu Changhong said. Thus, she practiced diligently, hoping that one day she could avenge her parents.]

[Fu Wangdai was extraordinarily talented.]

[In less than a thousand years, she reached the Tribulation Crossing realm.]

[Yet, even so, Fu Changhong was still dissatisfied.]

[She made excuses, claiming that Fu Wangdai’s strength was insufficient and she was not qualified to know the names of her enemies.]

[Telling you too early would only bring about your own death!]

[Now, only by unifying the demonic path and reaching the Ascension realm would she have the ability to avenge her parents.]

[Fu Wangdai had once doubted this notion. She tried to ask Fu Changhong what had led to her parents’ deaths.]

[But Fu Changhong never gave a direct answer. Instead, she closed off any possibility of further inquiry with a single sentence.]

[I am your aunt. Would I lie to you?]

[Follow what I say!]

[Fu Wangdai had no rebuttal.]

[She silently warned herself.]

[Fu Changhong was her only relative in this world. How could she deceive her about such matters?]

[Afterward, under Fu Changhong’s instruction, Fu Wangdai took on the role of the Sect Leader of Five Flower Prison Sect.]

[And she killed one unfamiliar person after another.]

[Fu Wangdai couldn’t understand what wrong these people had done or why they had to be killed.]

[Years of slaughter had left Fu Wangdai feeling deeply oppressed, even thinking of herself as nothing more than a killing machine.]

[With no future in sight.]

[However, the higher a cultivator’s realm, the more solid their Dao heart must be.]

[In such an environment, Fu Wangdai developed inner demons.]

[Stuck at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing realm, she could not make any progress.]

[A few years ago, during the confrontation with the Sect Leaders of the Jixin Tower and the Shadow Valley, though Fu Wangdai emerged victorious, she was also injured in the process.]

[At that time, she felt her cultivation had hit a bottleneck.]

[Thus, she asked Fu Changhong what to do if she could never reach the Ascension realm in the future.]

[Fu Changhong was furious and scolded her sternly.]

[If you cannot enter the Ascension realm, you will never be able to avenge your parents. And your life will be completely meaningless.]

[Don’t cry like those weaklings. You should wipe away your tears and focus on your cultivation!]

[Facing this reprimand, Fu Wangdai felt deeply oppressed once again.]

[She went to the top of Five Flower Peak, hoping to clear her mind.]

[Looking at the surrounding environment, Fu Wangdai felt like she was trapped in a cage, which kept her firmly in place.]

[To find some respite, she left the Five Flower Prison Sect alone.]

[She came to this mountain village, intending to immerse herself in cultivation for a while.]

[Once her state of mind was stable, she could return.]

[The slow-paced life in the mountain village made Fu Wangdai deeply fond of it.]

[Not only did it help her dispel her inner demons, but she also met Ye Yu.]

[Fu Wangdai had once thought, if she were truly an ordinary girl…even if she could only be with Ye Yu for a hundred years, she would have no regrets.]

[But since Fu Changhong had come, it meant that this dream-like life would eventually come to an end.]

[For Fu Wangdai knew well that her aunt was an extremely obsessive person.]

[She would never give up until her goals were achieved!]

[It was absolutely impossible for Fu Wangdai to live peacefully in the mountains.]

[Moreover, she herself carried the mission of avenging her parents!]

[This was something that could not be changed!]

[After listening to Fu Wangdai’s story, Ye Yu held her in his arms.]

[He said softly: We’ll stay here. I don’t believe Fu Changhong can really force us apart!]

[Fu Wangdai felt a warmth in her heart.]

[As long as Ye Yu didn’t mind her identity and still loved her, this was the greatest happiness in the world.]

[Having such a husband is enough for a lifetime.]

[After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu spoke again: I think what Fu Changhong said is very suspicious. Perhaps, your parents’ deaths were not part of someone’s scheme. Have you never tried to investigate this matter?]

[Fu Wangdai frowned slightly.]

[She softly replied: I’ve tried to investigate in secret, but no one knows anything.]

[Then, Ye Yu said he would look into the truth of the matter tomorrow.]

[What a joke.]

[According to Fu Changhong, the person who killed Fu Wangdai’s parents was an Ascension realm cultivator.]

[How could that be possible?]

[On the Western Frontier Continent, no Ascension realm cultivators had appeared for thousands of years.]

[Moreover, at that time, Five Flower Prison Sect was only a third-rate sect.]

[How could it possibly attract an Ascension realm cultivator?]

[Ye Yu suspected that all of this was Fu Changhong’s scheming! She must have used Fu Wangdai to eliminate her enemies!]

[Therefore, the truth of the matter must be uncovered!]

[However, Ye Yu did not expect that Fu Changhong’s actions would be so swift.]

[That very night, a woman arrived in the mountain village.]

[She was none other than Ye Yu’s mother in this dream, He Jieying!]

[Seeing her appearance, Ye Yu felt quite uneasy.]

[He worried that He Jieying would immediately confront Fu Wangdai!]

[In that case, with one being his mother and the other his wife, Ye Yu, caught in the middle, would surely be emotionally torn apart.]

[However, this language master from the Ji Xia Academy did not do so.]

[Instead, she came before Fu Wangdai and examined her up and down for a long time.]

[The two had never met before; they had only heard of each other by name, never seen each other in person.]

[They had never imagined they would meet in such a manner.]

[Fu Wangdai appeared very restrained, giving off the impression of a bride meeting her in-laws for the first time.]

[After a moment, He Jieying spoke softly: Are you really planning to stay with her from now on? Won’t you regret it?]

[Ye Yu held Fu Wangdai’s delicate hand and said in a deep voice: No regrets!]

[Seeing this, He Jieying chuckled.]

[As long as you have no regrets, you little rascal, you have good taste!]

[This statement made both Ye Yu and Fu Wangdai sigh in relief!]

[However, after this, He Jieying’s true nature showed through as she suddenly started lecturing Ye Yu.]

[You little rascal, your heart is really quite big.]

[You’ve been away from home for so long, and you didn’t even come back to visit. Do you know how worried your father and I have been?]

[You really are a heartless little brat!]

[This was the first time He Jieying scolded Ye Yu.]

[Ye Yu was about to explain, but then he saw He Jieying’s eyes turning red, almost to the point of tears.]

[Clearly, the years away from home had made her miss him very much.]

[So, Ye Yu kept silent and stood quietly to the side, listening.]

[After a moment, once He Jieying had vented enough, she waved her large sleeve, wiped her eyes, then took out a jade bracelet from her storage ring and placed it on Fu Wangdai’s hand.]

[She told her: This is a treasured heirloom of the Ye family.]

[Years ago, Ye Yu’s grandmother gave it to me. Now, I’m passing it to you, as a form of legacy!]
