Tian Ning wasn't in a hurry. She even had time to gather her sorrow before slowly saying, "Actually, I didn't know that at first."

The Xuanyuan family head raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

In front of countless viewers, she told her story:

"I was born into a small family of cultivators. Because my mother was beautiful, she caught the eye of a spoiled brat in the family and was forcibly bought to be their concubine. Not long after, I was born. But no one expected that I would be born before I was seven months pregnant..."

Everyone: "..."

This spoiled brat is practically begging to be cuckolded!

Tianning sobbed, "I'm not that spoiled brat. He hated me so much that he made sure I was never fed or clothed, and I suffered all kinds of insults from a young age. If it weren't for my mother always protecting me, I wouldn't have survived. I asked my mother, 'Who is my father?' Every time, she would say through tears, 'He's just trash, a bastard, a loser, a dog...'"

Patriarch Xuanyuan: "..."

Tianning: "I thought my mother could protect me for a lifetime, but she died on that snowy night. Before she died, her cold body held me and told me the truth. She said that my father was actually the young master of the Xuanyuan family. If I wanted to, I could go to him and at least live a smooth life."

“I was just over ten years old then, how could I dare to leave the place where I had lived since I was a child? I didn’t want to leave, but that playboy had his eye on me. He said that although I looked young and was skin and bones, I had a pretty face, and if I was raised for a few more years, I could become his 66th concubine. I was terrified, and in extreme fear, I mustered up my courage and fled there, wanting to find my father… But Fusheng City was too far from my home at that time. I don’t know how many miles I walked, and how many times I almost died on the road!”

She spoke with great emotion, and the story was full of twists and turns, leaving the listener stunned.

Tian Ning continued, "On one occasion when I was in grave danger, I was rescued by a handsome young man. He was the only person I had ever met who was kind to me since my mother's death! He pulled me out of despair, comforted me tenderly, gave me spirit stones, helped me with my cultivation, and even offered to accompany me to Fusheng City out of concern that I might get into trouble on my journey alone. The way he looked at me was so gentle. I think I suddenly understood what love was!"

Patriarch Xuanyuan: "..."

So what does all this nonsense have to do with him? Don't forget you're here to find your father!

However, no one paid attention to the question; everyone listened with great interest, especially when Tianning suddenly raised his voice and said, "But!"

Everyone: "!!!"

"But I was wrong! That wasn't love at all! After I was moved by his devotion and decided to give up searching for my father and spend my life with him, an accidental discovery revealed that he didn't love me at all; he was looking at other women through my face! Waaaaah..."

When the topic of sadness came up, Tianning even choked up.

"His act of saving me was meticulously planned, for it was a trap he had set to lure me in. My body was a masterpiece he had carefully chosen. When the time was right, he would sacrifice my soul, using my body as a vessel, to bring his deceased lover back to life! How cruel he is! All my devoted love was in vain!"

At this moment, both those inside the Secret Realm of Return and the spectators outside the arena were furious with that damned scumbag!

It wasn't until someone realized, "Thank goodness it's fake! Hearing her say that, I really want to chop that insidious scumbag to pieces!"

The female cultivator beside him looked at Tian Ning with loving eyes: "But I heard that she was later adopted by the Wen family, so maybe... this story might be her real experience from the past? After all, what she said sounded like she really had it..."

Another female cultivator agreed: "I never imagined Tianning had such a past, sob sob... She's so pitiful!"

“Um…” another male cultivator said, “I don’t think it’s possible, right? Think about Tian Ning in the previous two team matches.”

In an instant, everyone recalled the girl's confident and radiant smile.

She didn't look like she had ever suffered heartbreak.

Everyone: "..."

As it turns out, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
