Seeing everyone looking longingly at the toy in his hand, the boy proudly puffed out his chest, his fat belly jiggling, and his narrow, squinting eyes filled with smugness.
"This was brought back to me by my uncle from the Yuntian Sect. He is an inner disciple of the Yuntian Sect and has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Yun Qing, if you are willing to be friends with me, you can play with all my things from now on."
"Who wants to be your friend?" Upon hearing the name Yun Tianzong, Yun Qing was furious. She pushed the boy away and ran away crying.
At noon, Liu Ruyan arrived at the school gate early, where many adults were walking back and forth with their children.
Liu Ruyan was a well-known beauty in the neighborhood, and most of the students' parents knew her. They greeted her, "Mrs. Liu, are you here to pick up Yunqing?"
Liu Ruyan responded with a smile to each of them.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Yun Qing, Liu Ruyan became anxious as darkness fell and rushed into the school to search for her.
Just then, the teacher finished packing and came out. Seeing Liu Ruyan looking completely lost, he quickly stopped and stopped her: "Yunqing's mother, what's wrong?"
Liu Ruyan was so anxious she was about to cry: "Master, have you seen my Yunqing?"
"Yun Qing?" The teacher remembered that he had asked her during class, and the students all said that she had run away.
"Didn't she go home? She wasn't in the classroom during class. I asked a few kids, and they all said she had a fight with Chen Hao and ran out in anger. I thought she had gone home."
"No, I've been at home the whole time and haven't seen her come back." Hearing that Yun Qing wasn't at school, Liu Ruyan was completely disoriented and almost fainted.
The teacher was also worried and comforted her, "Yunqing's mother, don't worry. Many people in town know Yunqing. If we call more people, we will definitely be able to find her."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan regained a sliver of reason and quickly went to ask her neighbors to help with the search.
Qingfeng Town is very small, nestled at the foot of the mountain.
A large group of people searched for less than half an hour and found Yun Qing sleeping in a corner of the bookstore.
Overjoyed, Liu Ruyan wept tears of joy. After thanking her neighbors, she carried Yunqing home.
On the way, Yun Qing woke up and felt Liu Ruyan's fragrant embrace, unsure of what to think.
This woman is so hypocritical. If you really love her, you should send her back to her biological parents.
Instead of acting like this now, pretending to love her while letting his own daughter enjoy everything the Yun family has to offer, it's all hypocritical.
Back home, Liu Ruyan carefully placed Yun Qing on the bed.
Yun Qing rubbed her eyes and woke up.
Seeing Yun Qing's confused expression, Liu Ruyan asked, "Qing'er, tell your mother, why did you run out alone today? Do you know how worried your mother was?"
Yun Qing dared not look up, afraid of revealing the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Liu Ruyan took a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off Yun Qing's face.
Yun Qing: What did you say? Did you say that she already knew about her background, which is why she got so angry when she heard the words "Yun Tian Sect"?
After a moment of preparation, Yun Qing raised her head, her eyes gradually reddening, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Mother, where is my father? Why does everyone else have a father, but I don't?"
The handkerchief in Liu Ruyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
She quickly turned her back, not having the courage to look at Yun Qing's tearful face any longer, and made an excuse to leave.
It's like this again! She knew it. Yun Qing clenched her fists so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her flesh...
"Yunqing, dinner is ready!" When Liu Ruyan came in again, her expression was no different from usual, and she smiled gently.
At night, Yun Qing did not lie in Liu Ruyan's arms as usual, but instead turned her back to her and curled up in a ball.
Liu Ruyan felt heartbroken watching this. Everyone says that children who lack their father's company will feel insecure. Could it be that Yun Qing is the same?
She closed her eyes, and a single tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
Liu Ruyan gazed at Yun Qing's departing figure, lost in memories of the past.
More than a decade ago, Liu Ruyan lived with her family in a small town called Liuxi Town.
Suddenly one day, many monsters came to the town, and many people died at their hands.
Liu Ruyan escaped disaster by staying at her aunt's house for a while. When she returned home, she was greeted only by devastation.
Liuxi Town is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, where the Yuntian Sect, the largest sect in the cultivation world, is situated.
Since the Yuntian Sect receives offerings from the people at the foot of the mountain, it naturally has an obligation to protect them.
When news of the rampaging demons reached the Yuntian Sect, the sect leader immediately dispatched his eldest disciple, Yan Qing, to exorcise them.
Yan Qing arrived in Liuxi Town and happened to save Liu Ruyan, whose family had already been murdered.
From then on, Liu Ruyan fell deeply in love with him and wanted to repay him with her body.
At that time, Yan Qing had already married Yun Wanyan, the daughter of the sect leader. The two were childhood sweethearts and newlyweds, and their relationship was naturally very good.
Therefore, he sternly rejected Liu Ruyan's advances.
At that time, Liu Ruyan was immersed in the pain of her entire family being murdered and only wanted to cling to this lifeline.
Seeing Yan Qing's resolute attitude, he backed down and said that he only asked to serve the young master like a slave to repay his kindness.
Although Yan Qing had no romantic feelings for her, seeing that her family had been cruelly killed by the monsters and that she was truly alone and helpless, he had no choice but to temporarily take her to the Yuntian Sect.
Since Yuntian Sect does not accept people without spiritual roots, Yan Qing arranged for Liu Ruyan to work at a nearby clinic, where she could help out and support herself.
However, as time went by, Liu Ruyan did not give up her feelings for Yan Qing; on the contrary, she became more and more deeply in love with him.
So, in her spare time, she often went to the Yuntian Sect to watch Yan Qing cultivate.
As time went on, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
On Yan Qing's side, Yun Wanyan and he were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. After they got married, they soon had a son.
Liu Ruyan stayed at the clinic for three years, but she still couldn't melt Yan Qing's heart. She gradually despaired, but seeing the three of them living happily together every day, she was still unwilling to give up.
"I wish I could have a child too." This thought crossed Liu Ruyan's mind as she watched Yan Qing gently caress and play with Yun Hezhi.
Three years is enough time for her to learn a lot at the clinic, such as the most basic poisons and sedatives.
So, on an ordinary afternoon, Yan Qing woke up in an unfamiliar inn.
Sensing the strangeness in his body, his expression hardened, and his eyes turned icy cold in an instant.
Looking around, Yan Qing saw an open letter on the table. He walked over and picked it up. It read:
Brother Yanqing, I'm so sorry. I couldn't control myself and made such a big mistake.
I'm leaving because I'm ashamed to face you. You don't need to look for me. I will raise our child and live a good life.
Written by Liu Ruyan herself.
After more than three years of getting along, Yan Qing was finally left with a ripple in her heart.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, his face showed anxiety, and he immediately set off to search for Liu Ruyan's whereabouts.
