Chapter 859 The Past
The old man was wearing an exquisite black brocade robe and looked quite majestic. Although his hair, eyebrows and beard were all gray, his appearance was incompatible with the gray hair.
His eyes were bright and sharp, but now they were filled with tears as he stared at Feng Lanyin in front of him without blinking.
He stood tall and straight, walked firmly, step by step, to Feng Lanyin.
That look was one of care and love, and he was looking through her face at the other person he missed.
"Child, you..."
The old man took a step forward, but seemed afraid of scaring Feng Lanyin, so he tried his best to suppress his emotions.
The middle-aged man beside him reminded him, "Father, let's let her come in and talk first, otherwise...it will be hard to explain clearly in a short time."
"good."
The old man nodded, and the family sat together, with steam wafting from the hot tea. Feng Lanyin, however, just stroked the teacup, with a heavy heart.
The old man spoke slowly, "Back then, Zheng'er was only five years old. Zheng'er is your brother, Feng Rong's father. He was naughty and sneaked out to play by himself. As a result, he was bitten by a cold scorpion and contracted a cold poison.
I consulted several alchemists, but they were all helpless and said that at least immortal fire or even divine fire would be needed to completely eliminate it.
At that time, your mother was already nine months pregnant with you and was about to give birth. She was also very anxious. I didn't want her to worry too much, so I went to the Eastern Wasteland, where it was said that there was immortal fire.
But I was trapped in a formation and couldn't get out for a long time. Your mother was worried. Seeing that the light of my life plate was getting dimmer and dimmer, she came directly to the East Desert to find me.
At that time, I hadn't yet taken the position of Patriarch. My father had just fallen ill, and the competition for this position was at its most intense. My father also held me in high regard, so I was practically certain to be the next Patriarch.
So, the other people who wanted to compete for the position of family head turned their attention to me and your mother. They started with Zheng'er, and then the formation in Donghuang was all their work.
Knowing that your mother came out to look for me, she sent people to follow her all the way, hoping to find the right opportunity to kill both of us.
But they didn't expect that I escaped from the formation and rushed over when they were about to attack your mother, but they neglected that someone was attacking them in secret.
In order to protect me, your mother was poisoned and accidentally fell off a cliff.
Afterwards, I killed them and sent people to search for a long time at the foot of the cliff, but they only found your mother's body."
At this point, Patriarch Feng's eyes turned red again, and even his voice began to choke.
"But strangely, you're missing. We followed your mother's blood trail all the way back and determined that she must have given birth to you. She dragged her severely injured body and tried to seek help, but she collapsed before anyone could come."
No one who heard it did not sigh, including Yun Guiyue.
She couldn't imagine the despair of a mother who gave birth to a child in such a situation and wanted to save her own life and that of her child but had no one to turn to for help.
Perhaps until the moment she fell to the ground, she was blaming herself and hating herself for not having more strength to stand up.
She also couldn't imagine where a woman got the strength to stand up and ask for help after falling off such a high cliff and going through something as exhausting as childbirth.
Just listening to it makes people feel despair.
