Chapter 1104 Just a Stranger
At that moment, Feng Tianyu belatedly realized the pitifulness of the person before him.
She was once a favored daughter of heaven, but she lost her husband and became a widow less than a few months after their marriage. At her most heartbroken moment, she learned the cruelest truth, which was like a bolt from the blue.
Overnight, all happiness vanished from her, becoming a shadow she could never escape for the rest of her life.
Ye Wanxi, who was still in her womb at the time, unfortunately became a witness to this tragedy.
Shen Yunniang loved the child, but she also hated her. She had tried to abort the child countless times and had even taken action, but in the end, she was unable to nip Ye Wanxi in the bud.
After giving birth to Ye Wanxi, she may have thought about accepting the child, but things didn't go as planned.
Ye Wanxi's existence constantly reminds her of the absurd things she once experienced. She hopes that this child is the fruit of her and her husband's happiness, but she can't help but wonder if this child is related to Wu Yequan.
This idea was like a curse, constantly echoing in her ears, driving her little by little to madness.
She loved the child and wanted to give her the best of everything in the world, yet she also hated her, hated her so much that she wanted to kill her.
After years of self-torture, she finally chose the most extreme way to end this suffering.
Unfortunately, she never got what she wanted. After abandoning Ye Wanxi, Shen Yunniang spent the rest of her life in resentment and self-torture.
Jun Wuduan's uncle protected her and loved her his whole life, but he never entered her heart.
“When Wu Yeming had the accident, the child was still very young, and not many people knew about it…” Feng Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t bring himself to say “your mother”, so he had to revert to the original form of address.
"Before Miss Shen could tell Wu Yeming about this, her family suffered a misfortune. Not long after, Wu Yequan came looking for her. She never told Wu Yequan about it. In addition, after you were taken into the mountain by your master, Wu Yequan often went out to 'travel' and rarely returned home. You also spent most of your time on the mountain, rarely seeing strangers, so you basically had no chance to meet. He didn't recognize you, or rather, he never thought of it that way..."
Did Wu Yequan really like Shen Yunniang? He probably did, but the person he loved most was always himself.
Shen Yunniang was merely the trigger for his descent into darkness, or perhaps just an excuse he made for himself so that he could act against his own brother with a clear conscience.
After Shen Yunniang escaped, Wu Yequan only gave up after a token search, which was so perfunctory that it was laughable.
Perhaps, in his eyes, Shen Yunniang was not only the woman he liked, but more like a trophy, a trophy that could prove that he was no less than his elder brother and could also cause his elder brother pain.
With Wu Yeming dead, the value of this trophy naturally diminished significantly, making it not worth his time and effort.
After listening to Feng Tianyu's explanation, Ye Wanxi's eyes darkened slightly. Before knowing the truth, Ye Wanxi had not had much contact with this senior uncle. She only remembered meeting him once when she was very young.
But as the saying goes, a girl changes a lot as she grows up; her appearance as a child is very different from how she looks as an adult.
Even though Ye Wanxi looks very much like Shen Yunniang when she grows up, she was not at all like Shen Yunniang when she was young. Otherwise, given Wu Yequan's personality, no matter whether Ye Wanxi was his child or his brother's child, he would have eliminated her completely to prevent any future troubles!
Ye Wanxi remained silent for a long time before finally asking in a hoarse voice, "Is there really no way to find out who it is?"
Feng Tianyu naturally understood Ye Wanxi's meaning. Although he was convinced from the bottom of his heart that Ye Wanxi could never be related to Wu Yequan, he still truthfully said, "They are twins, almost identical in appearance, so..."
Ye Wanxi pursed her lips, suddenly recalling a news story she had seen when she was a child. It was about two identical twin brothers whose DNA was almost completely the same, and the DNA they passed on to their children was also almost identical. In such cases, existing DNA testing could not determine whose child it was, and the only way to find out was to test the mother's side.
But what if the child's mother had relationships with both brothers...?
"So, it's still possible it's him, right?"
“Yuanyuan…” Feng Tianyu stared intently at Ye Wanxi’s profile, wanting to comfort her but unsure where to begin.
Seeing his expression, Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him, saying, "Why the expression? Are you disgusted with me?"
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly: "How could I possibly look down on you?"
"Since you don't despise me anymore, what else should I care about? I just said that I asked these questions only to find out the truth and give my past self an explanation. As for the rest, things are as they were before, and they will remain the same in the future. Over the years, my master has raised me, you have accompanied me, and you have protected me."
"You are my family. To me, they are just strangers with a different name than others. Regardless of who my father was in my past life, the former Ye Wanxi is dead, killed in the Immortal Execution Formation. If..."
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment: "That Immortal Slaughtering Formation was originally a trap he set up. My death inside it can be considered as repaying him with a life, and we have no more karma with each other. If not, then he owes me a life, and now he is resurrected through my blood. From any perspective, he owes me more than one life. Do you think I need to show him mercy?"
“No need.” Feng Tianyu was already worried that Ye Wanxi would get stuck on the truth and cause herself more trouble, so he was overjoyed to see her so open-minded. He hurriedly said, “You are you, Master’s most beloved little disciple, the most beloved junior sister of your senior brothers and sisters, and the person I will spend my life with in the future. You have many, many people who are willing to share your joys and sorrows, your past and your future. There is no need to be attached to those unworthy people and things.”
Ye Wanxi smiled when she heard him say that, and raised her head to touch Feng Tianyu's forehead, echoing, "Yes, I have you, I have my master, I have my senior brothers and sisters, and I have Dean Mama, so many people who have helped and protected me. Even if some of them have left me, they will always have a place in my heart, and some others..."
She was still alive, but in her heart she was already dead.
"Um."
Feng Tianyu embraced Ye Wanxi, holding her close in his arms like a harbor that silently watches over her yet is infinitely tolerant, giving the weary bird returning to its nest a quiet and safe little world that belongs to it.
Ye Wanxi wrapped her arms around Feng Tianyu's waist, feeling her slightly fluctuating emotions gradually calm down and her mind gradually clear.
"Besides Master and Third Senior Brother, do Second Senior Brother and the others know about this?"
