Chapter 186 - Ye Family's Heirloom
【When Fu Wangdai was young, she was very naïve and never doubted anything Fu Changhong said. Thus, she practiced diligently, hoping that one day she could avenge her parents.】
【Fu Wangdai was extraordinarily talented.】
【In less than a thousand years, she reached the Tribulation Crossing realm.】
【Yet, even so, Fu Changhong was still dissatisfied.】
【She made excuses, claiming that Fu Wangdai’s strength was insufficient and she was not qualified to know the names of her enemies.】
【Telling you too early would only bring about your own death!】
【Now, only by unifying the demonic path and reaching the Ascension realm would she have the ability to avenge her parents.】
【Fu Wangdai had once doubted this notion. She tried to ask Fu Changhong what had led to her parents’ deaths.】
【But Fu Changhong never gave a direct answer. Instead, she closed off any possibility of further inquiry with a single sentence.】
【I am your aunt. Would I lie to you?】
【Follow what I say!】
【Fu Wangdai had no rebuttal.】
【She silently warned herself.】
【Fu Changhong was her only relative in this world. How could she deceive her about such matters?】
【Afterward, under Fu Changhong’s instruction, Fu Wangdai took on the role of the Sect Leader of Five Flower Prison Sect.】
【And she killed one unfamiliar person after another.】
【Fu Wangdai couldn’t understand what wrong these people had done or why they had to be killed.】
【Years of slaughter had left Fu Wangdai feeling deeply oppressed, even thinking of herself as nothing more than a killing machine.】
【With no future in sight.】
【However, the higher a cultivator’s realm, the more solid their Dao heart must be.】
【In such an environment, Fu Wangdai developed inner demons.】
【Stuck at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing realm, she could not make any progress.】
【A few years ago, during the confrontation with the Sect Leaders of the Jixin Tower and the Shadow Valley, though Fu Wangdai emerged victorious, she was also injured in the process.】
【At that time, she felt her cultivation had hit a bottleneck.】
【Thus, she asked Fu Changhong what to do if she could never reach the Ascension realm in the future.】
【Fu Changhong was furious and scolded her sternly.】
【If you cannot enter the Ascension realm, you will never be able to avenge your parents. And your life will be completely meaningless.】
【Don’t cry like those weaklings. You should wipe away your tears and focus on your cultivation!】
【Facing this reprimand, Fu Wangdai felt deeply oppressed once again.】
【She went to the top of Five Flower Peak, hoping to clear her mind.】
【Looking at the surrounding environment, Fu Wangdai felt like she was trapped in a cage, which kept her firmly in place.】
【To find some respite, she left the Five Flower Prison Sect alone.】
【She came to this mountain village, intending to immerse herself in cultivation for a while.】
【Once her state of mind was stable, she could return.】
【The slow-paced life in the mountain village made Fu Wangdai deeply fond of it.】
【Not only did it help her dispel her inner demons, but she also met Ye Yu.】
【Fu Wangdai had once thought, if she were truly an ordinary girl…even if she could only be with Ye Yu for a hundred years, she would have no regrets.】
【But since Fu Changhong had come, it meant that this dream-like life would eventually come to an end.】
【For Fu Wangdai knew well that her aunt was an extremely obsessive person.】
【She would never give up until her goals were achieved!】
【It was absolutely impossible for Fu Wangdai to live peacefully in the mountains.】
【Moreover, she herself carried the mission of avenging her parents!】
【This was something that could not be changed!】
【After listening to Fu Wangdai’s story, Ye Yu held her in his arms.】
【He said softly: We’ll stay here. I don’t believe Fu Changhong can really force us apart!】
【Fu Wangdai felt a warmth in her heart.】
【As long as Ye Yu didn’t mind her identity and still loved her, this was the greatest happiness in the world.】
【Having such a husband is enough for a lifetime.】
【After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu spoke again: I think what Fu Changhong said is very suspicious. Perhaps, your parents’ deaths were not part of someone’s scheme. Have you never tried to investigate this matter?】
【Fu Wangdai frowned slightly.】
【She softly replied: I’ve tried to investigate in secret, but no one knows anything.】
【Then, Ye Yu said he would look into the truth of the matter tomorrow.】
【What a joke.】
【According to Fu Changhong, the person who killed Fu Wangdai’s parents was an Ascension realm cultivator.】
【How could that be possible?】
【On the Western Frontier Continent, no Ascension realm cultivators had appeared for thousands of years.】
【Moreover, at that time, Five Flower Prison Sect was only a third-rate sect.】
【How could it possibly attract an Ascension realm cultivator?】
【Ye Yu suspected that all of this was Fu Changhong’s scheming! She must have used Fu Wangdai to eliminate her enemies!】
【Therefore, the truth of the matter must be uncovered!】
【However, Ye Yu did not expect that Fu Changhong’s actions would be so swift.】
【That very night, a woman arrived in the mountain village.】
【She was none other than Ye Yu’s mother in this dream, He Jieying!】
【Seeing her appearance, Ye Yu felt quite uneasy.】
【He worried that He Jieying would immediately confront Fu Wangdai!】
【In that case, with one being his mother and the other his wife, Ye Yu, caught in the middle, would surely be emotionally torn apart.】
【However, this language master from the Ji Xia Academy did not do so.】
【Instead, she came before Fu Wangdai and examined her up and down for a long time.】
【The two had never met before; they had only heard of each other by name, never seen each other in person.】
【They had never imagined they would meet in such a manner.】
【Fu Wangdai appeared very restrained, giving off the impression of a bride meeting her in-laws for the first time.】
【After a moment, He Jieying spoke softly: Are you really planning to stay with her from now on? Won’t you regret it?】
【Ye Yu held Fu Wangdai’s delicate hand and said in a deep voice: No regrets!】
【Seeing this, He Jieying chuckled.】
【As long as you have no regrets, you little rascal, you have good taste!】
【This statement made both Ye Yu and Fu Wangdai sigh in relief!】
【However, after this, He Jieying’s true nature showed through as she suddenly started lecturing Ye Yu.】
【You little rascal, your heart is really quite big.】
【You’ve been away from home for so long, and you didn’t even come back to visit. Do you know how worried your father and I have been?】
【You really are a heartless little brat!】
【This was the first time He Jieying scolded Ye Yu.】
【Ye Yu was about to explain, but then he saw He Jieying’s eyes turning red, almost to the point of tears.】
【Clearly, the years away from home had made her miss him very much.】
【So, Ye Yu kept silent and stood quietly to the side, listening.】
【After a moment, once He Jieying had vented enough, she waved her large sleeve, wiped her eyes, then took out a jade bracelet from her storage ring and placed it on Fu Wangdai’s hand.】
【She told her: This is a treasured heirloom of the Ye family.】
【Years ago, Ye Yu’s grandmother gave it to me. Now, I’m passing it to you, as a form of legacy!】
