"..." Yun Che did not help Ling Jie, and was not even surprised at his action.
Because he knew very well that the matter of Chu Yuechan had always been a heavy burden on Ling Jie's heart... Although it was not his fault, this was his temperament and it was also what Yun Che admired most about him.
"Mom?" Yun Wuxin, who was not good at interacting with outsiders, subconsciously hid behind Chu Yuechan and looked at her with a confused face.
Chu Yuechan's reaction was very calm: "You don't have to be like this, it has nothing to do with you, and it's not your fault."
"No," Ling Jie shook his head, his voice hoarse and heavy: "As a son, I should forgive my mother. Back then, out of jealousy and hatred, my mother did something unforgivable to you... Fortunately, God has mercy on you and you are safe, otherwise... otherwise..."
When he said this, he was choked with sobs.
He was no longer the somewhat childish and naive Ling Jie, but the renowned Blue Wind Sword Saint. But at this moment, his tears were pouring down, unable to stop.
Back then, after defeating Xuanyuan Wentian, Yun Che massacred the two holy places, Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. He was extremely cruel. However, he spared Xuanyuan Yufeng... the person he hated so much.
Ling Jie understood why... because that was his mother.
For Ling Jie, this was a great favor and friendship, but also a heavy burden that he could not let go of. Therefore, he left Tianjian Villa and traveled all over the world with his sword, hoping to find Chu Yuechan, whose life or death was unknown.
Although he did not find Chu Yuechan, seeing that she was safe and sound and with Yun Che, he could finally let go of the burden and a little bit of guilt.
“Xiao Jie,” Yun Che frowned, “You just said…my deceased mother?”
Ling Jie closed his eyes and said slowly, "Back then... after the fall of Mighty Heavenly Sword Territory, my mother's personality changed drastically, and she was haunted by nightmares every night... One night two years ago, she returned to the old place of Mighty Heavenly Sword Territory, and committed suicide at the place where she met my father..."
Ling Jie found it particularly difficult to say these words.
“…” Yun Che’s chest rose and fell, and he sighed.
"Although my mother is gone, her sins remain. As a son, I should redeem her."
His words fell into Yun Che's ears, making him suddenly feel something was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Jie, you..."
But how could he stop Ling Jie now... The Tianyang Sword under his feet flew up, and a rainbow light flashed by.
Under the sword light, Ling Jie's middle finger and ring finger on his left hand were broken and flew away.
"Ah!" Feng Xian'er and Yun Wuxin both screamed in surprise.
Chu Yuechan turned her head and sighed softly, "The fault is not yours, why do you have to do this?"
“Xiao Jie, what are you doing…” Yun Che shook his head as he looked at the severed finger that flew away with the sword wind.
For a profound practitioner who has spent his entire life cultivating the way of the sword, the meaning of having two fingers cut off is... self-evident.
After both fingers were cut off, Ling Jie's face showed no pain, but a sense of relief. He cut off not only his fingers, but also the mental shackles that had bound him for so many years.
Ling Jie is undoubtedly a person who attaches great importance to friendship.
Thinking back to his first encounter with Yun Che, at that time, he was the second son of Tianjian Villa, and Yun Che was just an unknown disciple of Xuanfu. However, in the Three Swords Bet at the Blue Wind Palace, he lost to Yun Che, and it was the latter's calculation that made him lose. However, he was still willing to accept the defeat and was willing to regard himself as a younger brother in front of Yun Che as the second son of Tianjian Villa.
Until today, no matter how many ups and downs it has experienced, it has never changed.
Although Xuanyuan Yufeng is a vicious woman, in Ling Jie's world, she is his biological mother, the mother who gave birth to him, raised him, and cared for him infinitely with love. He is also willing to protect her with his own life and atone for her sins at all costs.
“Yuechan,” Yun Che said, “Regarding Xuanyuan Yufeng, you…”
“I don’t hate her anymore.” Without waiting for Yun Che to finish, Chu Yuechan said faintly, “I have already forgotten what she looked like.”
Her gentle words made Ling Jie, who was trying to hold back his tears, tremble all over, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
“Okay, then I forgive her too.” Yun Che smiled, looked at Ling Jie sincerely and said, “Although she almost made me lose the little fairy, but… they are safe and sound in the end. In addition, if it weren’t for your mother, I would have lost a good brother in this life. So… let’s even it out.”
The words of the two, especially those of Chu Yuechan herself, were undoubtedly the warmest salvation for Ling Jie's soul. He was so excited that he was speechless for a moment and was about to knock again...
“Alright, alright, hurry up and get up!” Yun Che stepped forward and grabbed him tightly: “My little fairy is your sister-in-law now, not your senior! Why are you always kowtowing to me!”
Ling Jie: "Uh..."
"Mom, what is a broom?" Yun Wuxin asked in a low voice.
Chu Yuechan: "..."
“More!” Yun Che said angrily, “It’s satisfying that you cut off your finger, but can you give me a heads up next time? You scared my daughter, did she know that? Why don’t you get up now!”
"...Huh?" Ling Jie was stunned for a moment: "Your...daughter?"
“Ahem, Wuxin.” Yun Che’s face turned stern, revealing a rather dignified fatherly demeanor: “This is your uncle Ling Jie. His behavior of cutting his finger just now was extremely wrong, you must never learn from him!”
"..." Yun Wuxin opened her lips, half of her body still hiding behind Chu Yuechan, and called softly: "Ling Jie...Uncle?"
Looking at Yun Wuxin, Ling Jie opened his mouth wide: "She...she she she she...she is your daughter?"
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded.
After a stutter, he stood up in a hurry, and quickly used his profound energy to stop the blood from the severed finger… Everyone in Cangfeng knew that Chu Yuechan was pregnant, but more than ten years had passed… Ling Jie had already seen Yun Wuxin, but he had never thought that this girl who was already in her early teens would be Yun Che's daughter.
He frantically searched his body and the space ring, but couldn't find anything decent. Finally, he made up his mind and took off the jade that had been hanging on his chest. He leaned over and said to Yun Wuxin, "I didn't expect that the eldest brother actually had a daughter, and she's so big now. Your name is... Wuxin, right? What a nice name. Uncle didn't bring anything decent, so this... is for Wuxin as a gift."
Taking a look at the precious jade in Ling Jie's hand, Yun Che's mouth twitched slightly.
That is clearly the token of the young master of Tianjian Villa!
With this token, Yun Wuxin can walk around Tianjian Villa without restraint... although she can also walk around without this token.
Yun Wuxin shrank back a little and asked in a low voice: "Mom, can I accept it?"
Chu Yuechan smiled and nodded: "Since it is a gift from Uncle Ling Jie, then accept it."
Yun Wuxin then reached out to take it. The jade in her hand released a strange light in her pupils that she had never seen before. She immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled happily, "So beautiful, thank you... Uncle Ling Jie?"
As if she was not quite sure about this title, there was a hint of doubt in her tone at the end of her words.
“No need to thank me, it’s my duty.” Ling Jie waved his hands quickly, and then said to Yun Che: “As expected of the boss’s daughter, you are really lovable.”
If he knew that this eleven-year-old girl had a higher level of Xuan Dao cultivation than him, he would probably be so shocked that he knelt down again.
Yun Che grabbed Ling Jie's hand, looked at his severed finger, and sighed, "Xiao Jie, from today onwards, don't mention anything like atonement anymore."
"Okay!" Ling Jie nodded happily, his eyes shining with a brighter light than at any time in these years.
"Boss, your profound strength is really..." he asked, still unable to believe it.
“Yes.” Yun Che smiled and nodded: “But it doesn’t matter, at least I’m still alive and well. Moreover, it doesn’t matter if my profound strength is gone, don’t you think about the woman next to me…”
Suddenly feeling Chu Yuechan's gaze, Yun Che stopped talking and quickly changed his words: "I am surrounded by the most powerful people in the world, who can harm me!"
The Xuan Dao was completely destroyed. This was undoubtedly the cruelest thing for a Xuan practitioner. The stronger one was, the crueler it was. But looking at Yun Che's appearance, Ling Jie sighed in his heart and admired him sincerely: "As expected of you, whether it's my grandfather or Xuanyuan Wentian... In this world, nothing can really defeat you."
Yun Che smiled and shook his head, saying: "Have you been traveling all these years?"
"Yes," Ling Jie said firmly, "Without the support of Tianwei Sword Domain, Tianjian Villa can gain true freedom. In those years, Tianjian Villa made serious mistakes and its reputation has fallen to the bottom. I will use my sword to rebuild the faith and former glory of Tianjian Villa."
Yun Che patted his shoulder and said, "If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it."
"From now on, I will probably live in the Demon King City of the Illusory Demon Realm. If you pass by one day, don't forget to come find me so that I can witness your growth with my own eyes."
"It's a deal!" Ling Jie nodded heavily.
The two said goodbye and Ling Jie left.
Although two fingers were cut off, the Blue Wind Sword Saint also released the heavy burden in his heart. His future growth will undoubtedly be even more eye-catching.
Chu Yuechan said: "Ling Yun is a gentleman among swordsmen, with an elegant demeanor, but not arrogant; Ling Jie is more talented than his brother, and he values friendship so much. Although Tianjian Villa has lost its backer, it has produced two remarkable descendants."
Yun Che nodded in agreement: “Although their father Ling Yuefeng was selfish and regarded the interests of Tianjian Villa as more important than the danger of Cangfeng Country, but putting aside this matter, what he did throughout his life was worthy of being called ‘righteous’ and ‘a gentleman’.”
"And their mother Xuanyuan Yufeng... as the daughter of an elder of Tianwei Sword Region, she left her father and the sect because she loved Ling Yuefeng, and followed Ling Yuefeng back to the small Tianjian Villa. Even though she knew that Ling Yuefeng might want to climb up the Tianwei Sword Region's high branches through her, she stayed with him for decades without any regrets."
“It’s not surprising that they would cultivate such an outstanding descendant. It’s just…” Yun Che shook his head: “The more Ling Yuefeng loves you, the more Xuanyuan Yufeng will be jealous of you. No matter how good a woman is, once she falls into the abyss of jealousy and hatred, she will turn into a terrible devil.”
"..." Chu Yuechan turned her eyes away: "You mean to say that I forced Xuanyuan Yufeng to become a villain?"
“Uh…” Yun Che waved his hands at the fastest speed in his life: “No no no no no no no, of course that’s not what I meant. I meant… uh… ah… your charm is really too great, any man… no… ah! By the way, Wuxin!”
Yun Che took his daughter’s hand and pointed ahead, saying, “There is a stone ahead that your father and I touched with our own hands. I’ll take you to see it.”
Yun Wuxin: “Ah?”
Watching Yun Che running away with his daughter, Chu Yuechan's lips twitched slightly, and her eyes became hazy like a dream.
She thought that the cold and desireless life of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace would be her life forever.
After spending half a year with Yun Che day and night together, she found that she no longer had a “cold heart”. She had desires, and she tried her best to suppress them. But when she learned of Yun Che’s death, she realized that the desires in her heart had already become so strong that she was willing to betray her master for him...
Now, with him and my daughter by my side, this is real life, a complete life... no matter where I am in the future.
Behind them, Feng Xian'er looked at the three of them silently, not wanting to make a sound to disturb them.
