The truth comes out
The strong white light shone on Yunti's eyelids. Her eyes felt uncomfortable and her eyelashes blinked violently. She seemed to be shaking her in a daze.
"An Luoyi, An Luoyi!" Fang Jinghe shouted several times.
Yunti woke up and saw... a black and blue Qilin staring at her motionlessly. "Ah!" She exclaimed, and only reacted when she remembered that she had entered the secret realm.
"Are you okay?" Fang Jinghe asked.
Yunti then realized that there was someone next to her. She complained, "It's you! If you hadn't pushed me in, how could I have passed out!" After saying that, Yunti was stunned for a moment... passed out... She seemed to have just had a very long dream, and it seemed as if she was experiencing it herself.
Such a sad story, and the protagonists are her parents...
Fang Jinghe saw Yunti's expression change and knew what she was thinking.
"You... don't be sad, what has happened cannot be changed." Fang Jinghe comforted.
Yunti looked at him with sad eyes, "Did you see it too?"
"Yes. I saw everything from the perspective of the young master of the demon world." Fang Jinghe nodded. He was feeling mixed emotions. He felt pity for the couple and guilty. His father was also the executioner of this tragedy.
"Did he really die in the end..." Yunti asked.
Fang Jinghe pondered: "I woke up when he was leading the immortal soldiers away, but he was determined to die in the end."
Yunti frowned. She had always thought her coldness towards her mother was natural, but now she understood it was due to the pain of losing a loved one. She was the daughter of her mother and the Immortal Lord... and while she felt somewhat sorry for her father, the Immortal Lord, whom she had never met, she also felt truly sorry for the young master of the Demon Realm.
Seeing Yunti sitting there in a daze, Fang Jinghe felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Alas, after guarding a secret for so many years, I can no longer keep it..." The divine beast Qilin sighed, "Never mind. I was originally entrusted with this task. Now that the Dream-Falling Butterfly has entered your body and won't leave, I'm no longer needed here. Let fate decide everything. But I warn you, if you want to live longer, keep your mouth shut."
The Qilin glared at the two of them with its most ferocious eyes, and after threatening them, it flew away from the Immortal Book Pavilion carelessly.
The fairy children in the Fairy Book Pavilion were frightened by the huge monster and screamed frequently. Soon... the news reached the Fairy Lord.
Fang Jinghe lifted the ladder and said, "It's going to be chaos here soon. Let's go first."
Yunti hesitated and nodded: "Let's go to my place first."
Fang Jinghe took her to Chaoyun Palace.
Ah Li saw the cloud ladder from a distance. She ran up to it anxiously and circled around it. "Saint, where have you been? I'm so worried!"
Yunti held her down and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Ah Li noticed Fang Jinghe, "Why is the Saint with you?"
Fang Jinghe saw Ah Li's reluctance and said, "Why can't I be with her? We are engaged after all."
"Okay, let's go in first." Yunti did not forget that the two men had come back from causing trouble.
Mu Qianyu walked out from behind the curtain: "Where have you been? A-Li is so worried."
"I wanted to go to the Immortal Book Pavilion to find some books on foundation building, but I accidentally entered the forbidden area. The Immortal Book Pavilion is in chaos right now. Let's think of a countermeasure quickly." Yunti glanced at Fang Jinghe as he spoke.
Mu Qianyu spun her eyes around, examining the two of them. "When did you two become so close?"
Yunti was stunned for a moment and said coquettishly: "Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Mu Qianyu put aside her joking thoughts and returned to her usual seriousness. "I have heard of the forbidden area of the Immortal Book Pavilion, but no one has ever known what is locked up inside. Are you in any danger?"
The two looked at each other, and Fang Jinghe said, "Nothing special, there is only a mythical beast Qilin inside."
"Is that all?" Mu Qianyu looked at the ladder suspiciously.
Yunti affirmed: "What he said is true."
"That's strange. Why would the Immortal Book Pavilion keep a Qilin?" Mu Qianyu thought.
Fang Jinghe interrupted her thoughts: "That's not important! What's important is what we should do now that we've caused such a disaster."
Mu Qianyu said, "Since there's nothing, I think it shouldn't be a serious crime if you report it to the Immortal Lord. However, due to the Nine Heavens' decree, I'm afraid you'll have to endure some hardship in the Frost Prison Valley."
Yunti asked, "What is the Cold Prison Valley?"
Fang Jinghe immediately glanced at Yunti: "What's wrong with you? Even if you haven't been there, you shouldn't be so ignorant of what Frost Prison Valley is."
Yunti forgot Fang Jinghe's slip of the tongue and changed the subject: "Of course I know. I wanted to ask what the punishment is in Frost Prison Valley."
Mu Qianyu tugged at the ladder. "The Frost Prison Valley lives up to its name. It's a prison encased in thousand-year-old ice crystals. The chill within the valley is oppressive, and has always been an unbearable punishment for the Phoenix Clan. Those with serious sins suffer the piercing pain of ice spikes every day."
"Everyone has his own consequences. This incident was caused by me, so let me be the only one to bear the punishment." Fang Jinghe said firmly.
"It's your fault in the first place." Ali muttered.
Yunti looked at Fang Jinghe differently.
Nether Palace
Xian Youlin's master has returned to the palace. This person is Chong Sheng's best friend Bitar.
An Luoyi heard the news and came to visit. Xian Youlin introduced her to Bi Tatar, "Master, this is the current Saintess of the Nine Heavens Upper Realm—An Luoyi."
Seeing An Luoyi, Bi Tatar's heart was moved, and he sighed: "You really look like your mother!
"Senior, I'm really sorry to bother you without permission. I have something to ask you this time." An Luoyi stated his purpose directly.
Bitar's expression was serious. "Oh? What's the matter?"
An Luoyi took out a jade talisman and said, "This item was made by the previous generation of the Netherworld Royal Family. I wonder if you recognize it?"
Bitar's eyes widened as he snatched the jade talisman. "This! This! How did you get this thing?"
"I got it by chance. It seems you recognize this item." An Luoyi.
Bitar said tremblingly: "This is a gift I gave to the daughter of an old friend. Where is she now?"
An Luoyi raised an eyebrow: "Do you know where she came from?"
"It's a long story..." Bitar looked at Xian Youlin.
Xian Youlin nodded, "Master, don't worry, An Luoyi is not a talkative person."
Bi Tatar looked at Xian Youlin with a meaningful look. He continued, "Twenty years ago, the immortal and demon worlds fought a great war. Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know." An Luoyi. At that time, An Luoyi was still a baby, so she naturally didn't know.
Xian Youlin had heard something about this: "I heard that it was the young master of the Demon Realm who trespassed into the Nine Heavens and challenged the majesty of the Immortal Realm. That's when the previous Immortal Lord tore apart the peace between the two realms and officially declared war."
"Then do you know why the young master of the demon world trespassed into the fairy world?" Bitar.
The two shook their heads.
Bitar stared at An Luoyi with hatred. "The young master of the Demon Realm, Chong Sheng, is my best friend. He was in love with the Nine Heavens Saint, An Nanchi, but unfortunately, the Immortal Lord separated them, and they ended up separated from their wife and children! That jade talisman... was a gift from me to celebrate the birth of their daughter."
"You're talking nonsense!" An Luoyi said in disbelief.
"At the beginning, Brother Chong entrusted me with the care of his child, but I didn't expect to lose his child... I have been looking for her in the human world for twenty years but couldn't find her whereabouts. Do you know where she is now?" asked Bitar.
An Luoyi's head was buzzing and her thoughts were in disarray. She couldn't hear what Bitar said and took a few steps back.
Xian Youlin was right behind An Luoyi, supporting her. "Master, let's talk about it another day. I'll take her to rest first."
Bitar hesitated to speak and ultimately did not stop it.
An Luoyi let Xian Youlin lead her away, thinking about what Bitar said.
If Yunti is truly the child of the Young Lord of the Demon Realm and his mother, then that would explain the origin of the demonic spots on her body. Then what about her… They are clearly twins, so could she also be… No! Her father is the Immortal Lord of the Nine Heavens, not some demon!
But... she had never seen her biological father, and his identical features to Yunti confirmed her suspicions. How could this be? For so many years, she had shouldered the responsibility of being the "Saintess" of the Nine Heavens, strictly disciplined herself, and held the demons in a deep hatred. What did all this mean?
"An Luoyi, cheer up, it's just a thing of the past." Xian Youlin's voice came into An Luoyi's ears.
"You don't know! Yunti and I are twins. What I care about is that my firm belief has been broken. I have hated the demons since I was a child, but now someone tells me that my father... is a demon!" This was the first time that An Luoyi lost control like this. She didn't expect that she would trust Xian Youlin so much and tell him everything.
Xian Youlin was really surprised that the "holy maiden" from the Nine Heavens Upper Realm was actually of demon blood. However, rather than being surprised, he felt more sorry for the girl in front of him. She shouldn't be in so much pain.
"Xiaoyi, background is not important." Xian Youlin said.
"How can it not be important! I am the only Golden Fire Phoenix in the world! I carry the entire White Phoenix clan on my shoulders! How can I be involved with the demon clan!" An Luoyi retorted.
"But ten thousand years ago, the two tribes were once one family... The world is so big, you can't be restricted by your identity. If possible, I hope you can just be yourself." Xian Youlin's voice was sincere and pleasant.
When such sincere words reached An Luoyi's ears, her nose suddenly felt sore, as if liquid was flowing up uncontrollably.
An Luoyi just stared at Xian Youlin in a daze. It was the first time she heard someone say this to her. Since she was a child, the Mother Goddess had told her that "Saint Maiden" was not a title, but a responsibility. She belonged to the entire Nine Heavens, not to "herself".
"Why...why..." An Luoyi muttered. She looked confused, as if she didn't understand Xian Youlin's words, and also as if she was questioning him.
Xian Youlin held her hand tightly and said, "Born in a high position, you have no choice. Even if the road is full of thorns, you must move forward. Don't be afraid, you have a sister now, and I will accompany you."
An Luoyi turned his head, feeling a little lost.
