"Mother, I did nothing wrong! They are the ones who are wrong!"

Chi Yuan gasped for breath and almost roared.

"Brother, you used to teach me that it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. But why is it that when you make a mistake, you refuse to admit it? Are you still the same older brother I know?"

Chi Yang looked at Chi Yuan with disappointment and sorrow. This older brother, whom he once admired and respected, was now so despicable. He felt that his faith had collapsed at this moment.

"I told you, I did nothing wrong! If I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it?!"

Chi Yuan's breathing became heavy, and he felt a sense of suffocation.

"Yuan Lang, things have come to this point, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Yunmeng's face was filled with sorrow, and she said with a sob in her voice, "Meng'er doesn't care what mistakes you made, or how big they were, nor does she care whether you still have cultivation. Even if you can't cultivate in the future and can only be a mortal, Meng'er will stay by your side and support you, raising our children together!"

"But... if you know you're wrong but still refuse to repent, I absolutely cannot forgive you. I cannot accept that my husband is a coward who doesn't even dare to admit his mistakes!"

"Meng'er, why don't you even believe me? Why would you rather believe a stranger than your fiancé whom you know so well?!"

Chi Yuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He never dreamed that none of the people he thought should believe him would choose to believe him!

"Chi Yuan!"

At this moment, Yu Xiao, who was standing next to Yun Yan, stepped forward and roared at Chi Yuan, unable to contain her anger: "Are you even a man? Do you know how much Sister Yun Meng has sacrificed for you? Do you know how lonely and tormented she was when you were gone? Can't you even admit your mistake for her sake?!"

"I, Yu Xiao, will make this clear today: if you do not admit your mistake, I, Yu Xiao, will sever all ties with you and cut all relations with you forever!"

Chi Yuan stared blankly at Yu Xiao, remaining silent.

"Hmph, I'll make this clear: if you don't admit your mistake today, I will cancel your marriage with Meng'er and sever all ties with the Chi family from now on, never to have anything to do with them again!"

Yunfeng spoke with a cold expression.

Chi Yuan stared blankly at Yun Feng, remaining silent.

"Brother, just admit it. Stop being so stubborn. Do you want to lose me as your brother? Let me tell you, I will never admit that someone who knows their mistakes but refuses to admit them is my older brother!"

Chi Yang said with a sorrowful expression.

Chi Yuan looked at him, his eyes gradually losing their light.

"Chi Yuan, I don't ask for anything, I just ask that you admit your mistake. This is my absolute bottom line. If you can't even do this, then I... I won't acknowledge you as my fiancé anymore!"

After Yunmeng finished speaking, almost pleadingly, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and turned her back.

Chi Yuan stared blankly at Yun Meng's retreating figure, as if his soul had been ripped away, his eyes devoid of any light.

"Yuan'er..."

Seeing Chi Yuan's state, Lin Huixin felt an unbearable pain in her heart. However, remembering Shangguan Zhen's words, she forced herself to endure the heartache and said coldly, "If you still refuse to admit your mistake, I will no longer acknowledge you as my son!"

Chi Yuan's body trembled, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

"You unfilial son, I'm just asking you, do you know you're wrong!"

Chi Li Lei Ting shouted.

Chi Yuan staggered back, his body numb, and looked up at Chi Li with lifeless eyes. His lips were pale as he said, "I... I'm right."

"you……"

Chi Li pointed at Chi Yuan with trembling hands, then suddenly flung his hand away and turned his back, saying, "I'm giving you one last chance. If you still don't repent, not only will I sever our father-son relationship today, but I will also expel you from the family and strip you of your status as a descendant of the Chi family!"

Chi Yuan felt a wave of dizziness.

He didn't understand what was wrong with the world.

What is the meaning of God giving him a second chance at life?

Why, even after being reborn, do I still have to suffer even more cruel torment than in my previous life?

"good……"

"good……"

"good……"

Chi Yuan's eyes were empty, and his face was blank as he murmured three "good" words. With each word, his heart died a little more, until he turned around, his heart was completely dead.

"From this day forward, Yunmeng is no longer my fiancée."

"You are no longer my family."

"This place... is no longer my home."

Chi Yuan walked away with faltering steps, looking dejected.

...

Outside Jintian City.

Beside the Ten Thousand Mountains, in front of a green pond.

Chi Yuan, dressed in a long black robe and wearing a black mask, sat blankly by the pond, staring at the duckweed floating on the water.

Suddenly, a fluffy catkin drifted by on the wind and landed lightly on his fingertips.

Chi Yuan mechanically shifted his gaze to the flying catkin, but as soon as his eyes landed on it, the catkin danced in the wind and drifted aimlessly elsewhere.

Raising his head, Chi Yuan watched the drifting catkin quietly until it disappeared from sight, then whispered softly, "The duckweed on the water grows without roots, and the catkins in the air drift with the wind. How similar this is to me."

"From now on, I will travel the world under the name Fu Feng."

Chi Yuan stood up, gazing at the endless mountains in front of him. With no more worries in his heart, he plunged headlong into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a place full of countless opportunities as well as endless dangers.
