“I said I admit my mistake,” Wenren Xue said, looking at Long Ye, but she didn’t accept his apology.
"No, Xue'er, this isn't your fault! You don't need to be punished..." Long Ye looked at the delicate girl in front of him and tried to hold her in his arms to comfort her gently: "It's alright, Xue'er, don't be afraid! I will take you back to the Dragon Clan. As long as you stay in the Dragon Palace, even the Six Sects can't force their way in and take you away! Don't worry, I will never let them hurt you!"
Elder: "..."
He's still standing here! He's not dead, is he?!
Wenren Xue took a half step back to avoid Long Ye's touch.
Her expression was resolute, and there was no fear in her eyes, a look that Long Ye had never seen before: "I... don't want to be locked up anymore."
“Since you mean well, you should respect my wishes. I don’t want to spend my whole life hiding in the Dragon Palace, unable to see anyone, unable to stand in the light and do what I want to do, as you said. I admit my mistake, I accept the punishment, and I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that I will never harm… Tian Ning! I will never collude with the Demon Clan!”
As she spoke, she gripped the miniature folding fan tightly in her palm, which she had hung around her neck with a thin string.
That's certainly not her fault, and she doesn't need to be punished.
But since she has chosen this path, she has no choice but to accept the punishment, survive, and clean up the mess left by that person. Only then will she be qualified to stand by her mother's side and help her save those like her!
From birth, she was locked in a dark place by the system, and could only watch helplessly as someone controlled her body. At first, she was too young to understand.
But as Wenren Xue controlled her for longer, she gradually grew up and wanted to leave, wanting to regain control of her body.
But she was powerless; she could do nothing...
The arrival of Tianning brought hope to her life, which had been shrouded in darkness for fifteen years.
It's not just the chosen ones who need saving; there are countless children like her.
She suddenly changed the subject and said, "I've given myself a new name."
Long Ye: "?"
I want to call myself Dawn.
Long Ye assumed she was upset because the Wen family head had expelled her from the Wen family, so he comforted her, "Of course Xue'er can change her name if she wants!"
"Dawn..."
She called out the name with slight unease, her cheeks flushing slightly: "I want to call myself Tian Chenxi!"
It heralds the first ray of sunlight after dawn, a new beginning and hope, illuminating the path of life like the morning sun.
Long Ye: "???"
Long Ye couldn't understand: "Xue'er, why did you choose to have the surname... Tian?"
Tian Chenxi looked at him and asked, "Is it not allowed?"
"It's not that... it's not allowed, it's just..."
"Then please call me Tian Chenxi from now on! Don't call me by that name anymore."
"this……"
Long Ye couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Or rather, everything changed after he watched Xue'er die and suffered the backlash of the contract! Although Xue'er woke up again, she was like a completely different person. Before, Xue'er hated Tian Ning the most!
Why would she be willing to use Tianning's surname to name herself?!
But the contract is still in effect, and Long Ye can sense the connection between them!
The Wenren Xue before my eyes cannot be faked.
unless……
Recalling what happened when Xuanyuan was destroyed, Long Ye couldn't help but harbor doubts.
