The Purple Song Sage’s eyes were filled with desolation. He paused, looking at Jin Lin, and said, “I was just left trapped in the formation, waiting to die!
And just when I thought I was about to perish, the formation suddenly dissolved. Standing outside it was Fantian, my elder brother…
The moment I saw Fantian, I couldn’t describe the emotions swirling in my heart…
I stared at him—his face was deathly pale. I thought he had saved me.
It was this brother, who had always treated me with disdain, who had rescued me…
I opened my mouth to call out to him, but he only gave me a cold glance before turning and walking away.
I returned to my quarters, determined to uncover who had set the formation, but I found nothing.
Gradually, my body began to deteriorate—I grew weak, unable to gather my spiritual energy.
Every day, though I did nothing, I felt exhausted, constantly yearning for sleep.
As time passed, my periods of slumber grew longer and longer. Yet, I could never determine the cause of this affliction.
Until one day, while I was out on an errand, I succumbed to sleep midway.
In my dazed state, I heard Fantian’s voice—and finally learned the reason for my endless drowsiness.
I couldn’t help but rush out and demand why he would harm me. He merely looked at me coldly and said he hated me! Hated me for being born, hated that my birth had stolen what should have been his alone—the full inheritance of our ancestral power!
I stared at him in disbelief, but he only smirked darkly, saying that since we were twin brothers bound by life and death, he couldn’t kill me—so instead, he would make me sleep forever, a living corpse!”
At this point, the Purple Song Sage stopped, closing his eyes to veil the sorrow within them.
Jin Lin, however, couldn’t suppress his shock. So, not all twin siblings shared a harmonious bond.
And the current Divine Emperor, who stood so loftily above all, was actually such a selfish and cold-blooded man!
To claim that his master’s birth had stolen what should have been his alone—what a laughable notion!
The conception of twins was already an anomaly of the heavens and earth. Each birth was ordained by destiny!
To say he hated his master for “stealing” his inheritance—by that logic, his master had just as much reason to hate him! If Fantian hadn’t been born, his master could have inherited all the power himself!
Jin Lin inwardly raged at the injustice done to the Purple Song Sage, but he dared not voice it. He could see that even now, his master still harbored a trace of brotherly affection for Divine King Fantian.
Otherwise, when recounting those past events, his master’s eyes wouldn’t have brimmed with such sorrow.
*Knock, knock…*
A sudden rapping at the door interrupted the conversation among the three in the room.
Along with the knocking came Yun Sisi’s coquettish voice: “Father, are you in there? Father?!”
“Come in.”
Yun Ye glanced at Jin Lin before calling out to the door.
The door was swiftly pushed open, and Yun Sisi stood at the threshold, her eyes scanning the room before settling on Yun Ye.
“Father!” Seeing Yun Ye, Yun Sisi pouted, her eyes instantly reddening. Like a little girl who had been wronged outside, she rushed toward Yun Ye and buried herself in his embrace, rubbing her head against him as she whined, “Father, Sisi missed you so much!”
“You foolish girl!” Yun Ye deliberately hardened his expression, scolding, “Missed me? If you missed me, how dare you sneak out of the demon realm?! How many times have I told you the outside world is dangerous? You truly have no sense of caution!”
“Father~ Sisi knows she was wrong!” Yun Sisi nuzzled deeper into his arms, her apology dripping with sincerity.
Seeing her genuine remorse, Yun Ye sighed softly. “Since you admit your mistake, you’ll return to the demon realm with me tomorrow.”
“What about Brother Changxing?” Yun Sisi immediately lifted her head upon hearing they were to return.
Yun Ye kept his stern face. “Your Brother Changxing still has matters to attend to.”
“What matters?!” Yun Sisi pouted in displeasure upon hearing Mo Changxing wouldn’t be returning.
Yun Ye’s expression darkened. “Sisi, don’t be unreasonable!”
Yet the moment he reprimanded her, Yun Sisi burst into tears as if grievously wronged. “Who’s being unreasonable?! Father, do you not love Sisi anymore?”
“Enough, my dear. Don’t cry.” Frowning, Yun Ye patted her back gently.
Seizing the opportunity, Yun Sisi declared, “If Brother Changxing isn’t returning, then Sisi won’t go back to the demon realm either! Wherever he goes, Sisi will follow!”
“You—!” Yun Ye’s briefly softened expression turned icy again. “No tantrums. You’re returning with me at dawn tomorrow!”
“I won’t go!”
Yun Sisi’s defiance flared, her chest heaving as she glared at Yun Ye. “I won’t go back! If I do, those vixens will shamelessly throw themselves at Brother Changxing!”
*Hmph!*
Jin Lin couldn’t help but sneer at her antics, remarking pointedly, “What’s meant to be will come; what isn’t can’t be forced…
Clutching desperately only invites disgust in the end.”
“Who are you talking about?!” Yun Sisi bristled like a provoked cat, her eyes blazing at Jin Lin.
Jin Lin lazily met her gaze, feigning innocence. “Just voicing my thoughts. What’s it to you?”
“Father~”
Tears welled in Yun Sisi’s eyes as she looked pleadingly at Yun Ye. “Father, when I came to Luoyun Mountain, I nearly lost my life!”
Yun Ye’s face darkened further. “What happened?”
Yun Sisi sobbed, “Father, you don’t know—there’s a woman here named Yun Qingxue who uses her looks to seduce Brother Changxing!
Disgusted by her flirtatious ways, I tried to warn her, but she attacked me instead!
Angered, I engaged her in a duel…”
*Hahahaha!*
Before she could finish, Jin Lin burst into uproarious laughter, as if he’d heard the most absurd joke in the world.
Interrupted, Yun Sisi shot him a venomous glare before pointing accusingly. “While I was fighting that Yun Qingxue, this man suddenly intervened, helping her attack me without a word! Together, they nearly killed me!
If not for…
If not for Brother Changxing risking his life to protect me, I might never have seen you again, Father…”
By the end, Yun Sisi was weeping pitifully, her cries mournful as if she’d endured unspeakable suffering.
Jin Lin stared at her, wide-eyed. Truly, the world was vast enough to harbor all kinds of creatures!
This woman’s ability to twist the truth and lie without blinking was astonishing—as shameless as her thick skin, enough to make one laugh in sheer exasperation.
