Shi Yuankun wanted to explain to Rong Zi, "Miss Rong, we were actually just now..."
But Rong Zi didn't give him a chance to explain, raising her hand to interrupt him with a look of disappointment.
"Say no more. My mind is made up. We are just ordinary people with little influence. I feel uneasy traveling with a group of people whose words don't even carry weight. So, let's part ways here."
After saying that, she took Yun Jing's small hand and turned to say something to her disciples.
"Let's go."
Seeing that they were really about to leave, everyone suddenly became anxious.
Just as everyone was struggling with how to persuade Rong Zi, Yun Qin suddenly stepped forward and blocked Rong Zi's path.
Rong Zi paused for a moment as she left.
"Is there something you need?"
Yun Qin pointed at Yun Jing and said in a deep voice, "You can leave, but he must stay."
Seeing her actions, Rong Zi subconsciously pulled Yun Jing behind her to protect her.
She frowned and glared coldly at Yun Qin, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
How dare they make a move on her precious apprentice?
Looking for a scalper?
Yun Qin suppressed her temper and retorted, "I'm asking you, is his name Yun Jing, is he over seven years old, and does he have a top-grade lightning spiritual root?"
Everyone present looked at Yun Jing in disbelief upon hearing Yun Qin's words.
What?
Top-grade lightning spirit root?
This talent is almost unbelievable!
Even among the direct disciples of the five major sects, there aren't many who possess this kind of talent, right?
Rong Zi knew that Yun Qin had guessed Yun Jing's identity.
But so what?
Their Rongling Sect is no longer the same as before; they no longer need to hide Yun Jing's identity.
Otherwise, she would never have allowed Yun Jing to display his abilities in front of everyone this time.
Rong Zi calmly replied, "What's it to you?"
Yun Qin replied, "Of course we're related. He's my younger brother, so he has to come with me."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone present went beyond mere shock.
They were all stunned, staring blankly at Yun Jing and then at Yun Qin.
What did Yunqin say?
Yun Jing is her... younger brother?!
Yun Jing... Yun Qin...
They all share the surname Yun!
The surname Yun is quite rare.
Could Yun Jing really be Yun Qin's younger brother?!
Not only were the others shocked, but even Yun Jing, the person involved, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Rong Zi's other apprentices were also a bit confused.
Yun Jing peeked out from behind Rong Zi, looking up at her with a bewildered expression. He asked, "Senior...Senior Sister, what did she say..."
Before Rong Zi could say anything, Yun Qin spoke first.
"Your father's name is Yun Tianxiang, and your mother's name is Li Shulan. Your mother was also a female musician. I'm sure I'm right, aren't I?"
She's right about everything.
Yun Jing's little face scrunched up as she said, "My mother only has me as her child."
Although Yunqin's points were all valid, he did not have a sister.
Yun Qin said, "Your mother does only have you as her child, but your father doesn't."
"His first wife was actually my mother, but she was in poor health and passed away when I was very young. Later, my father married your mother, and that's how you were born. To be precise, I am your half-sister."
Such a huge bombshell dropped, leaving everyone present speechless.
Yunqin was still talking.
"Although I don't know how you were tricked into joining that small sect, Rongling Sect, now that you have me as your older sister, why don't you come with me? With your talent, you should go to a better sect."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Yun Jing.
Upon seeing this, Yun Jing quickly shrank behind Rong Zi.
Just as Yun Qin's hand was about to touch Yun Jing, another fair hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Qin's wrist.
Rong Zi, holding Yun Qin captive, squinted at her and said, "You dare touch him and see what happens?"
Yun Qin tried to pull her hand away, but found that she couldn't move it at all.
Aren't we all at the Qi Refining stage now?
But why was Rong Zi able to suppress her so easily?
Seeing that she couldn't pull her hand away, Yun Qin turned to Rong Zi and questioned him righteously, "I've already said, he's my own brother, why can't I touch him?"
"Because I won't give in!"
As soon as Rong Zi finished speaking, she suddenly tightened her grip on Yun Qin's fingers.
Yun Qin suddenly felt a piercing pain.
"Ouch..." Her face paled with pain, and she shook her arm violently. "Rong Zi, you...you let go!"
Just as Yun Qin was pulling and shoving, Rong Zi let go of her hand without warning.
Due to inertia, Yun Qin staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground with a thud.
Barely managing to steady herself, she clutched her wrist, which was throbbing from being pinched, and said angrily, "Rong Zi, you...you've gone too far!"
Rong Zi took out a cloth and wiped the hand that had grabbed Yun Qin with a look of disgust.
"You wanted to arrest my junior brother, and I'm already being lenient by not beating you up on the spot."
Yun Qin: "I want to take him to a better place. He's my own brother. Would I really harm him?"
Rong Zi gave a slight twitch of her lips. "That's not necessarily true."
No one knows better than her just how miserable Yun Jing was in the original story.
It can be said that none of the characters in the book combined suffered as tragically as Yun Jing.
An innocent child was brutally tortured, his bones and heart were ripped out.
She could hardly imagine how helpless and desperate Yun Jing must have felt at that time.
