The air seemed to freeze instantly, so suffocating that people felt like they couldn't breathe.
Huang Liuyi stiffly turned her head, her mouth and throat dry. She swallowed hard and stared at the bloodied figure she had pushed to the ground. She was shocked and speechless, dumbfounded and incredulous.
"Chang Sheng, is she Mary?" Huang Liuyi couldn't believe it. Feeling lost and helpless, she could only turn to her all-powerful husband, Su Chang Sheng, for help.
While Huang Liuyi was examining the bloodied man, Su Changsheng had already used his divine sense to confirm that the person his wife had treated so harshly was indeed his daughter, Su Mali.
"Liu Yi, she is Mary." Su Chengsheng exhausted all his strength and energy to say these few words.
Upon hearing this, Huang Liuyi trembled, looked blankly at Su Jieke, then at Ji Xiaoxiao, and as the morning light suddenly appeared and the mist dissipated, she suddenly understood everything.
Before Huang Liuyi could even hug Ji Xiaoxiao with tears streaming down her face and reward her for protecting Su Jieke, a man in blue, looking flustered and terrified, appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and rushed towards Ji Xiaoxiao without stopping for a moment.
The man carefully picked up Ji Xiaoxiao, took out a white jade bottle from his bosom, tilted the bottle slightly, poured out a pill with a rich medicinal fragrance and pure spiritual energy, and tremblingly put it into the mouth of the barely recognizable Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao swallowed the pill, and in no time, the pits and holes on her body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a man as handsome as a god descending from heaven. The man was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in the standard blue robes of the Qingyun Sect disciples, adorned with auspicious cloud patterns. His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards, his eyes were large and bright like stars, and fine beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, seemingly untouched by dust yet imbued with human warmth. His contradictory yet surprisingly harmonious aura was striking.
"Who are you?" Ji Xiaoxiao was a typical person who never forgot what she had been taught. She smacked her lips absentmindedly and then gave a bright smile.
"I am Master's eldest disciple, your senior brother, Yunming." Yunming gently pushed Ji Xiaoxiao away and pinched her bloodied face. "Greetings, junior sister."
Using one's good looks to seduce someone is the most shameful thing ever!
Ji Xiaoxiao slurped a dry laugh and quietly touched Yunming's broad chest under his clothes. "Greetings, Senior Brother."
The senior and junior brothers greeted each other warmly, their affection palpable, and they remained silent in each other's presence.
“Mary, come to your mother.” Huang Liuyi, holding Su Jieke in her arms, suddenly broke the bubbly atmosphere that Ji Xiaoxiao had been planning for so long.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, got out of Yunming's arms, and stumbled to her feet. "I saved your precious son Su Jieke. You don't need to be grateful to me. Just consider it my way of repaying you for raising me for so many years!"
The moment Huang Liuyi pushed her down, the original owner's last feelings for her parents vanished in the raging wind. If you can't fight for it, then give up. Having let go of her long-held obsession, Ji Xiaoxiao vaguely sensed the loosening of her cultivation barrier.
"Oh, right, I'll return double the rare herbs, elixirs, and cultivation techniques you gave me before. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have no further connection." If we're going to sever ties, let's do it cleanly and completely.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Su Mali? I am your biological mother, you are my daughter. We should separate our lives, and you can't just cut us off with a few words." Huang Liuyi swayed her body and shouted hysterically.
Ji Xiaoxiao pointed at Su Jieke, completely shirking responsibility, "I don't have a mother. If I did, I wouldn't be left unattended when I was half-dead. Besides, Su Jieke said that because I'm not her biological sister, she's been cold and sarcastic towards me, targeting me in everything and making my life miserable. Madam Huang, isn't Su Jieke your biological son?"
Huang Liuyi looked at Su Jack in disbelief, "Jack, Mary is your own sister."
As her precious darling, Huang Liuyi couldn't bear to speak harshly to Su Jieke, who was in a daze.
"Mother, is Su Mali really my sister?" Su Jieke raised his head, his eyes shining, and asked Huang Liuyi in a pleading manner.
"Yes," Huang Liuyi replied firmly.
“Mother, you’re lying to me. Sixteen years ago, you clearly told Father in the study that Su Mali was definitely not your daughter. Don’t try to fool me, I heard it all, I heard it with my own ears.” Su Jieke pointed to his ears to show that he was not hallucinating.
Huang Liuyi was momentarily dazed, as forgotten memories gradually returned. At that time, Su Mali was only four or five years old, a mischievous and restless age. The child was still young, delicate, and didn't understand, so Huang Liuyi couldn't scold or punish her, and could only grumble about it to her husband. Who knew that Su Jack would overhear this and not only that, but actually believe it?
After some time, Huang Liuyi, her heart aching as if being torn apart, recounted the events of that year one by one.
Su Jieke's eyes suddenly lit up, and he happily said to Ji Xiaoxiao, "Su Mary, you are my sister."
"Oh, so what?" came the dismissive reply.
So what if she's my sister? Whether she's a relative or a stranger, it all comes down to my own choice and will.
Ji Xiaoxiao left behind her last words, feeling relaxed as she and Yun Ming left the bustling city of Suzhou.
Su Changsheng kept looking at Ji Xiaoxiao until she left, then said sadly, "Liu Yi, we have no daughter anymore."
Ji Xiaoxiao no longer concerned herself with the Su family's affairs. Upon returning to the Qingyun Sect, she immediately went into seclusion. Ten years later, she emerged from seclusion.
Ten years have passed, and much has happened. Huang Yanheng married Yi Ming in a grand wedding, attended by numerous guests. The news was known to everyone, both righteous and demonic. Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. Yun Yi Zhenren, having spread his message throughout the world, resolutely expelled Huang Yanheng from his sect. The Su family made no reaction, but Su Jieke came to Pingjue Peak every day to see Ji Xiaoxiao.
