"Do you really want to know?" Liang Chufeng asked.
Ji Yu nodded solemnly.
"Then you can't tell Big Sister that I told you this. Just say you heard it from the elders."
Ji Yu nodded rapidly and agreed very readily.
"The whole story starts with your father..."
"Your father's name is Ji You, and he is from a small branch of the Ji family that is not favored. But he happened to have the worst idea, and he set his sights on your mother.
"Your mother is the kindest and most compassionate person in the entire Liang family. It was because of her excessive compassion that she was taken advantage of. That's why she saw your father lying in the wild with wounds all over his body and carried him back to the Liang family.
"The rest of the story is very cliché. Your father took advantage of your mother's sympathy. He kept saying how pitiful he was, hoping that your mother would not leave him. My elder sister and I tried to persuade your mother more than once, but in the end we could not stop the evil ambitions of some people.
"Your father took advantage of my elder sister and I being away for training and kidnapped your mother to Yongzhou where the Ji family is. He also threatened your elder sister with your mother's safety in order to gain the protection of the Liang family.
"Later, we saw your mother from a distance a few times. She wanted to go home. But how could the Ji family let her go? The Ji family had cast a poison on your mother. If she left the Ji family, she would die. She had become much more haggard by then. In the end, they even forced your mother to go to the battlefield. I guess your mother didn't even realize she was pregnant!
"Even if Ling'er hates the Ji family, she is still a kind girl at heart. She doesn't hate you either. So Xiaoyu, you can't go back to the Ji family, otherwise my elder sister and I will kill you without mercy.
At the end, Liang Chufeng's eyes couldn't help but show a layer of ruthlessness.
"Uncle, don't worry. The Ji family and I are irreconcilable. You and Master are my relatives." Ji Yu held his hand and made a solemn promise.
"Xiao Ji, my elder sister and I both hope that you will stay true to yourself, but we also don't want you to be too kind." Liang Chufeng looked at Ji Yu's face, which was similar to her sister's, and sighed sincerely.
"So after learning of their mother's death, the Ji family was afraid of revenge from the Liang family, so they chose to retreat?" Ji Yu asked.
Liang Chufeng nodded. Yongzhou, where the Ji family was located, was the most remote place in Jiuzhou. Moreover, the other four families of the five major families each managed two states, and only the Ji family had only one piece of land in Yongzhou.
"Uncle, I will help you avenge my mother." Ji Yu said seriously.
Liang Chufeng just regarded his words as a child's joke. After all, Ji Yu had at least half the blood of the Ji family. If he killed anyone in the Ji family, the reputation of murdering his own people would accompany him for the rest of his life.
…………
In the following years, Ji Yu practiced hard every day. He refused to slack off for fear of disappointing his uncle.
He also wanted to finish his studies as soon as possible and return to the college to see Yaoyao.
But Ji Yu didn't expect that this wait would last fourteen years.
Ji Yu also grew from a young boy into an elegant young man.
"Uncle, I'm going back to college." Ji Yu waved at Liang Chufeng.
Liang Chufeng was the one who brought up Ji Yu, from a five-year-old baby with a chubby face to a nineteen-year-old handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
He must be a little reluctant to let go, and the child looks more and more like his second sister, inheriting all of her beauty.
"Why don't I take you back myself!" Liang Chufeng held Ji Yu's hand, reluctant to let him go back alone.
"Uncle, I'm almost twenty years old. If I ask you to send me back, people will laugh at me and say I'm a child who hasn't grown up."
Liang Chufeng didn't care about that, and said confidently: "I'll see who dares to say anything."
Ji Yu still shook his head firmly and refused: "There are still things waiting for you in the clan! As the clan leader, how can you leave your post without permission?"
In the end, Liang Chufeng watched Ji Yu return to the sect alone.
On the way, Ji Yu was reminded by Old Man Xu that he had an agreement with Yaoyao.
"Boy, the secret realm is about to open, why are you not prepared?" Old Man Xu reminded.
Thanks to the care and advice of Old Man Xu during this period, otherwise Ji Yu would not have been able to learn all of the Liang family's unique skills within fifteen years.
Ji Yu also became more respectful to Old Man Xu. After all, the old man really treated him as a disciple.
"OK."
Ji Yu bought a bunny mask on the street, but as a teenager of about 1.8 meters tall, he didn't feel out of place wearing the bunny mask.
When he arrived at the gate of Qingfeng College, the gatekeeper didn't recognize him and stopped him outside.
Ji Yu thought of asking Yaoyao out first, and then returning to the academy with his own identity after visiting the secret realm.
After thinking it through, Ji Yu bowed slightly and said, "I am Mr. Liang. I have an appointment with Miss Shu. Please let her know."
The disciple guarding the gate raised his chin impatiently and looked at Ji Yu with disdain: "Our Senior Sister Shu has already reached the early stage of Nascent Soul before she is thirty years old. People like you want to establish a relationship with her without asking around. Are you qualified to have a relationship with our Senior Sister?"
Ji Yu didn't say much to him and directly exuded the pressure of his Nascent Soul Realm.
The gatekeeper disciple felt the pressure from the higher realm and immediately changed his attitude: "I will go and call your senior sister for you right away, but whether or not she is willing to come out is not something I can control."
"Just tell Yaoyao that I'm here to fulfill the appointment I made fifteen years ago. She will definitely remember it."
After the gatekeeper disciple finished speaking, he trotted towards the academy.
Seeing this, Ji Yu found a relatively large tree at the door and jumped onto the tree to rest.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Yaoyao came out when Ji Yu fell asleep leaning against a tree branch.
Yaoyao stared at the masked boy in front of her. She suddenly became curious about what the boy looked like under the mask.
Just as she put her hands behind her back, rubbing and twisting them, Ji Yu suddenly opened her eyes.
He jumped down from the tree with ease, and Shu Yaoyao also flew down.
"Miss Shu, long time no see." Ji Yu nodded gracefully.
When Yaoyao heard this, she suddenly laughed: "I am already 29 years old this year. In two years, I will be a middle-aged woman. Why should I call you a girl?"
Ji Yu chuckled and then retorted, "A monk's age is considered long, how can it be compared with the age of a mortal? What's more, I think Miss Shu looks very beautiful, even more beautiful than she was fourteen years ago."
Although Shu Yaoyao was usually aloof, she found chatting with the boy in front of her very interesting and was a bit more enthusiastic than usual.
"Young Master really knows how to make women happy."
Ji Yu's voice was tinged with laughter: "Words that can make a girl happy are not something you can say to everyone."
Yaoyao had been very cold to everyone during the past ten years of cultivation in the academy, but at this moment, she was having a great conversation with a male cultivator whom she had only met a few times.
The disciples guarding the gate in the distance couldn't help but feel curious when they saw this scene.
