Lian Han's voice was extremely cold, "Those with the Blood Nether Flower mark are like they've discovered some fun toy, teasing us like a cat playing with a mouse. They give us a glimmer of hope so we won't give up, but they also firmly hold onto our bottom line. And whenever the Blood Worm mark appears, and we want to harm ourselves, the Blood Worms reappear. Another year has passed like this. Do you know why my mental power still awakens even after I've injected inhibitors?"
"Don't say anymore." Ling Ze hugged her tightly. "Sister, it's all in the past, all of that is in the past."
The girl remained calm, even patting his back reassuringly. "I thought it was all in the past too. I forgot everything before I was eight, and the bloodworm mark never reappeared. I was reborn."
"Unfortunately, that was all in the past. Did Aunt really think that strengthening the defenses would make me safe? When Cangming took me away, I was on General Ning's mecha. He probably wanted to save me, and then we were taken together." Lian Han stated the facts.
Ling Wei's face was grim. No matter how strong the defense was, how could it compare to a 3S expert? According to this logic, there was no safe place for Lian Han!
"You mentioned 'us' before?"
Ling Xuanyu's question finally made Lian Han's expression change. She slowly said, "Before I remembered, my goal was to become the strongest card maker. But now, Father—I want to destroy the Blood Nether Flower, even if the price is my life."
"Calm down, we can handle this..."
Lian Han said, "I am very calm right now. And this matter has nothing to do with you. Now that Dad knows about Cangming, let's make things clear today. From now on, I am just Lian Han. The Ling family and I have absolutely no connection."
"Sister, what are you saying? How can we not be related? We..."
"Even though I had amnesia before, after recognizing you all, I didn't want to change back to my original name. I didn't know why before, but now I do."
"Because Shen Xinyue hates you all."
I hate you all.
At those words, everyone present froze, unable to move. She hated them for losing her.
Old Xing frowned. "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't want to change your name because of Lian Rui. Because he's dead, the name Lian Han is the only thing that proves he ever existed."
Lian Han ignored his words. She curled her lips into a beautiful smile, yet it was chillingly cold. "That's it. From now on, we'll be strangers. I lived a good life without you all and without those memories."
After saying that, Lian Han was about to leave when she heard Ling Xuanyu say, "Your household registration is still with the Ling family. Until you become a minor, we will always be your guardians."
"If I remember correctly, the federal government encourages people to stay at home."
Lian Han chuckled, unleashing his 2S mental power. It wasn't specifically aimed at anyone, but the immense and pure mental power was enough to shock them all.
“Even minors can be assigned to S-rank positions, so I’m probably over the limit.” Lian Han finished speaking and added, “You all know how strong my mental power was at birth. If it weren’t for my physical limitations, it could actually be even higher. It’s better to part amicably. It wouldn’t look good if I actually applied to the mainframe.”
Seeing her about to leave, Ling Xin grabbed her hand, "Xiao Han, you..."
"Happy New Year, Big Brother. I won't go to the Ling family when I get back to the capital."
...
In the starship's observation deck, the girl calmly gazed at the stars through the glass, her back view lonely and forlorn.
"Is it necessary to draw a clear line?" Old Xing asked helplessly.
"The Ling family shouldn't get involved in the Blood Nether Flower circle," Lian Han replied calmly. She had deliberately observed the reactions of the group when she mentioned the details of the Blood Nether Flower. The three Ling brothers showed surprise and disgust, and Ling Wei, though better at hiding her emotions, also displayed these two feelings.
She couldn't discern what Marshal Ling was thinking due to her lack of cultivation. However, it was certain that the Ling family had never had any contact with the Blood Nether Flower before, and had absolutely no connection to it. So why drag them into this?
You can avenge yourself.
Lian Han didn't hide her thoughts, and Old Man Xing, who sensed this, felt even more helpless and distressed. This girl! She's so stubborn, saying she hates the Ling family, isn't it just because she's afraid of implicating them?
If it weren't for the fact that the young man from the Ling family immediately brought up Cangming upon meeting her, and that girl wanted to use all the power of the Ling family to protect her, she probably wouldn't have been able to bring herself to do it.
But she wasn't wrong either; even the Ling family couldn't withstand the power of Cangming. If all the powerful families in the Federation could unite, perhaps they could uproot the Blood Nether Flower.
But this possibility—Old Xing didn't hold such expectations for the aristocratic families of the Federation. After all, he had tried to unite the various families before, but the complex relationships between them made it impossible to form a solid alliance.
Just then, Lian Han's AI suddenly lit up; it was Pei Sumei.
Seeing the message from Xiao Mei, Lian Han turned around and went back to his room, preparing to log back into Tianwang.
Come to think of it, Xiao Mei hadn't contacted her at all during her long "disappearance." Of course, she didn't think Xiao Mei was ignoring her; Lian Han would bet that whenever Xiao Mei wanted dessert, she would be the first person Xiao Mei thought of.
So, after so many days without contact, something must have happened...
"Xiao Mei, you—Aunt Pei?" Upon arriving at Pei Su Mei's birthplace, Lian Han was surprised. "You wanted to see me?"
"Come sit down," Pei Yuan beckoned to her.
Pei Sumei's birthplace was even simpler than Lian Han's; it was laid out like their living room. Surprisingly, the little girl didn't greet her, but nestled silently in Pei Yuan's arms.
