"Who?" Wuying and Wuhen were completely confused.
“Siam Dan, Jun Siam Dan, Ye’er’s father.” Zhao Qinglian flipped her hand and took out a jade tablet from her storage ring. Seeing the faint but undeniably glowing light on it, tears streamed down her face like broken beads, and she became even more agitated: “He is the young master of the Jun family! Even though he made a mistake and was stripped of his position as young master, he is still the eldest son of the Jun family’s direct line. How could they treat him like this!”
Wuying and Wuhen: "???"
Please forgive them for being babies in the mortal realm. Can you say something they understand?
"The Ice Crystal Continent is just a subordinate plane of the Danling Continent. I heard that it used to be a small secret realm. After it was developed by the Jun family, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Jun family ever since. Small families like our Zhao family, which originated on the Ice Crystal Continent, were all later vassals of the Jun family."
After calming herself down a bit, Zhao Qinglian continued to explain the science to Wuying and Wuhen, saying, "In large families like the Jun family, those who are sent to the border regions or small planes to manage the family business are usually the less favored members of the family. Jun Xiandan, who is Ye'er's father, is the eldest son of the Jun family. Logically speaking, even if he made a mistake, he would not be exiled to the border regions or imprisoned in small planes."
"So, Lord Jun is currently on the Ice Crystal Continent?" Wuying and Wuhen finally understood.
"Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much. Perhaps Lord Jun has been exiled here to govern the Ice Crystal Continent," Wuhen optimistically comforted Zhao Qinglian, her eyebrows dancing with excitement. "Then we can simply teleport directly, saving us the trouble of deceiving him!"
Zhao Qinglian shook her head, tightly gripping the life jade slip that shimmered with a faint glow: "This is his life slip. The life slip is glowing, which means he is in this plane of existence; the glow is not bright, which means he is in a bad situation. He must have been imprisoned by them. He is in a very bad situation."
Wuying and Wuhen: "..."
I've learned a lot; I didn't know that a cultivator's life chart could reveal so much.
No wonder their princess said before that the communication jade slips she had made for them were the lowest quality.
However, this way of being taught made them quite uncomfortable.
"Wuying, Wuhen, don't worry about me. Go to Danling Continent to find Ye'er and Yao'er first," Zhao Qinglian suddenly said.
Ever since she took out Jun Xiandan's life tablet, her tears have never stopped.
"This can't be allowed!"
"If the Prince and Princess knew that we abandoned Your Highness the Dowager, they would skin us alive!"
Wuying and Wuhen strongly disagreed.
As the three were talking, they were found by another group of cultivators. This time, there was even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator among them.
He was none other than Zhao Huanyun, the fourth elder of the Zhao family's main branch.
"Qinglian, you have caused so much suffering to our Zhao family!" Zhao Huanyun rebuked Zhao Qinglian sternly as soon as he saw her.
"Fourth Elder..." Zhao Qinglian clutched Jun Xiandan's life tablet tightly in her hand, turned to look at Zhao Huanyun, and sobbed even more uncontrollably.
"Do you know that because of you, our Zhao family will be plunged into darkness for thousands, even tens of thousands of years to come?" Zhao Huanyun glared at Zhao Qinglian, wishing he could tear her apart alive. "Because you ruined Jun Xiandan of the Jun family, the immortal paths of thousands of people in our Zhao family for the next three generations have all been cut off! You are a sinner of the Jun family, and you are an eternal sinner who has ruined generations of my Zhao family!"
"What... what's going on?" Zhao Qinglian was completely bewildered by the scolding.
