Seeing Yin Chaomu's dejected look, Su Yunying pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
“I know what you’re thinking; you just want to make up for the time you abandoned me.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Chaomu's eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Yunying continued, "But you really didn't need to do that. I know you had no choice but to abandon me back then."
So I've never blamed you. After all, you brought me into this world, and as your daughter who has gone through so much hardship, I still have to thank you.
"Yun Ying, you really don't blame me?"
"So many years have passed, what difference does it make whether it's strange or not?"
Su Yunying remained expressionless, coldly staring at the battlefield ahead.
"Actually, from the moment I learned that my adoptive parents intended to turn me into food to fill their stomachs, I lost all hope in so-called family affection."
Later, Yin Jiao'e's attempt to extract my phoenix blood further dissuaded me from that idea. The so-called blood ties of kinship crumbled before the face of self-interest.
They were just as vulnerable, so you can forgive me.
But to ask me to call you "Mother" like other children from ordinary families, really, I just can't do it.
Upon hearing this, Yin Chaomu's eyes immediately filled with tears: "Yunying, can you give your mother a chance to explain? Actually, your mother really had no choice back then."
"So you're still alive and well now?"
Su Yunying's words left Yin Chaomu speechless and at a loss for words.
"You always try to emphasize to me how helpless you were back then, how desperate and painful you felt inside."
Have you ever thought of trying to find me all these years? You've been at the Seven-Colored Sacred King Rock for so many years.
Surely you haven't even considered this?
"No, Yunying, please let me explain. It's not that I didn't think about coming to find you."
However, my injuries were too severe back then, and by chance, I entered the Seven-Colored Saint Monarch Rock to heal and improve my cultivation.
But the condition was that I must guard the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock for sixty years, which is why I didn't go looking for you.
Yunying, please give me another chance, okay? Mother really wants to make it up to you.
Su Yunying said indifferently, "See? I told you, you always find a bunch of excuses to justify yourself."
Even if these reasons are reasonable and legitimate, and you do have your own reasons, I'm sorry, I still can't call you mother.
Actually, maintaining this distance between us isn't so bad. There's nothing to feel guilty about. You don't need to worry about me, and I won't do anything to you, right?
Seeing her daughter's attitude, Yin Chaomu could no longer hold back her tears.
The next moment, she covered her face, turned around, transformed into a phoenix, and disappeared into the horizon.
As soon as she left, Min Yue quietly walked to Su Yunying's side.
Why bother? You've already accepted her in your heart, haven't you?
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying sighed softly: "Actually, I know that she had no choice but to abandon me back then. It wasn't her fault at all."
If I were in her shoes, I might not have had a better choice either.
However, reason and emotion are sometimes separate.
I still can't accept the fact that she could abandon her own daughter and leave alone.
"well."
Min Yue sighed softly.
“You and your daughter really need to find some time to sit down and have a proper talk. There has to be a solution to this matter.”
"Many things cannot be solved by talking alone."
"Forget it, this is your family matter, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere."
"I see the situation in Xiliang has been mostly resolved. Shouldn't you go and meet up with your lover?"
"Yes, I miss Brother Chen."
The moment Shen Zhao was mentioned, Su Yunying's eyes lit up.
...
On the vast grasslands.
With a long cry of a divine bird, a phantom image of a Xuanhuang (mysterious phoenix) landed on the ground.
In an instant, Yin Chaomu's figure reappeared, running all the way to a rock and covering her face with tears.
"Yunying, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. If I had always protected you, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way."
It's all my fault, all my fault, Su Luo. I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of our daughter. I don't deserve to be her mother.
Yin Chaomu lay on the cold, earthen rock, heartbroken. She never imagined that her decision back then would cause her daughter such a life of wandering and suffering.
Just then, a cold wind swept behind her, making Yin Chaomu suddenly realize what was happening.
Who is it?
She quickly wiped away her tears and immediately turned around to look.
Yin Chaomu only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Zhao's face.
She tried to adjust her mindset and asked with a smile, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhao. What are you doing here? Yun Ying has been thinking about you. Go see her."
Shen Zhao looked at Yin Chaomu, a hint of unfamiliarity flashing across his eyes.
He immediately walked over and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?"
Yin Chaomu quickly turned her face away and said, "It's nothing, I just came out for some fresh air."
"Is that so?"
Shen Zhao's lips curled slightly, and his eyes, which were fixed on Yin Chaomu, were filled with greed.
He slowly took two steps closer, stood in front of Yin Chaomu, and said in a gentle voice, "Auntie, what's wrong? I saw you seemed to be crying just now?"
Yin Chaomu shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that the sandstorm was too strong and got in my eyes."
"Is that so?" Shen Zhao pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Then should I blow on it for your aunt?"
Yin Chaomu quickly refused: "No need, Xiao Zhao, you should go find Yun Ying first."
She has taken control of the entire Great Wilderness tribes as you planned, and is now dealing with the remaining resistance forces of the Xu family in Xiliang.
