“Catastrophe?”
Yun Qingxue frowned. “What exactly do you know? If there really is a catastrophe, why come to me? Do you expect me to resolve it?
Though I’ve regained my divine power, I…
I am not the strongest in the Xuanling Continent!”
The old man suddenly smiled. “Though the Flower King may not be the strongest, you are the only hope to avert the catastrophe…
The Flower King’s Token is with you…
And the Flower King’s Token represents boundless vitality…”
“The Flower King’s Token is with me?” Yun Qingxue frowned. “Why can’t I find it? Elder, what else do you know? Can you tell me everything?”
The old man stared intently at Yun Qingxue, his figure growing faint. “You are the biological daughter of the previous Flower King! A fateful entanglement from a thousand years ago!”
His words struck Yun Qingxue like thunder.
“Impossible! Wasn’t Yun Sisi the daughter of the previous Flower King? Unless… the previous Flower King had two daughters?”
“She had only you…” The old man’s voice grew even more distant.
Yun Qingxue wanted to ask more, but the old man had already vanished.
The dream echoed with his fading words: “Remember, the bearer of the Flower King’s Token commands boundless vitality…”
“Wait! Where are you going? Finish what you were saying!” Yun Qingxue called out, but the old man was gone.
Her brows furrowed in her sleep, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
A sliver of sunlight streamed through the carved window into the room. Yun Qingxue sat up, rubbing her head, her gaze distant as she stared at the light.
This was not the first time the old man had appeared in her dreams…
Could what he said be true? What really happened a thousand years ago?
If she truly was the daughter of the previous Flower King and the Demon King, then what about Yun Sisi?
Her master!
The image of Purple Song Sage flashed in her mind.
If her origins were indeed tied to the previous Flower King and the Demon King, then…
Given how close her master was to the Demon King, he must know the truth about her!
With that thought, Yun Qingxue quickly rose, tidied herself with a spell, and left the Flower King’s Hall.
“Daisy, summon A’Dai and Liuli… and bring Clan Leader Mosu as well!”
“Yes, my lady.” Though puzzled by Yun Qingxue’s urgency, Daisy didn’t question it and hurried to summon Mosu and the others.
“Greetings, Your Majesty the Flower King.” Mosu arrived swiftly.
Yun Qingxue dismissed everyone else.
“Mosu.” Her gaze burned into him as she spoke solemnly, “Tell me—do you know about my origins?”
“Your Majesty!” Mosu was startled.
Yun Qingxue waved a hand. “I want the truth! Mosu, I trust you. So… don’t lie to me!”
Mosu lowered his head, heart pounding, unsure why she was suddenly asking this.
Just as he hesitated, Daisy’s voice came from outside: “My lady, your senior brother has arrived. Shall I escort him to the side hall?”
“No need. Let Senior Brother Changxing in.” Yun Qingxue slightly lowered her eyes, masking her emotions.
How could she forget? Mo Changxing was the adopted son of Demon King Yun Ye and the heir to the Demon King’s throne.
If her origins were as the old man in her dream had said, then… Changxing must know something too.
The doors of the Flower King’s Hall opened, and Mo Changxing stepped in, seeing the bowed Mosu and Yun Qingxue’s unreadable expression.
His sharp instincts sensed the tension. His deep eyes questioned her.
“What’s wrong, Qingxue? Did something happen?”
“Senior Brother.” Yun Qingxue looked up at him intently. “You know about my origins, don’t you?”
Mo Changxing stiffened.
“Don’t lie to me!” she pressed.
“Qingxue, what exactly do you know?” he asked cautiously.
“I am the daughter of the previous Flower King and the Demon King! The Flower King’s Token is sealed within me—that’s why I can wield its power!
Do I need to say more?”
Mo Changxing exhaled deeply and glanced at Mosu.
Mosu also took a deep breath and admitted, “What Your Majesty said is true… You are indeed the daughter of the previous Flower King and the Demon King…”
Yun Qingxue staggered back.
So everything the mysterious old man said was real! She truly was the daughter of the previous Flower King and the Demon King…
She had parents. She wasn’t just a manifestation of the Flower King’s Token…
She had met them before…
No wonder!
No wonder when they first met at Luoyun Mountain, Yun Ye had personally bestowed upon her a thousand years of cultivation…
No wonder when she confronted Yun Sisi, Yun Ye never blamed her…
“Why hide it from me…?” Suppressing the storm of emotions, Yun Qingxue murmured.
Mo Changxing sighed and turned to leave.
Before departing, he said, “Qingxue, since you now know the truth…
I will summon Father to reunite with you.
Let him explain the events of a thousand years ago himself.”
Yun Qingxue clenched her fists beneath her sleeves.
Now that she knew Yun Ye was her birth father, she didn’t know how to face him…
And Lan Xuechen, her mother—the woman imprisoned by the God King in the Divine Clan…
Yun Ye received the message and arrived two days later with Purple Song Sage.
Now aware of the truth, Yun Qingxue found herself at a loss for words upon seeing Yun Ye.
After all, in two lifetimes, she had never known family…
“Qingxue…” Yun Ye was equally uneasy, sighing heavily. “Do you resent your mother and me?”
“Why hide it from me? All of you knew the truth—why deceive me?”
Finally unable to hold back, Yun Qingxue lashed out emotionally.
“Every one of you knew, yet you treated me like a fool!
Tell me—why?!”
“Qingxue, calm down!” Mo Changxing stepped forward, his dark eyes filled with concern. “Father and the rest of us… meant no harm.
We only wanted to protect you…”
Yun Qingxue lowered her gaze, her outburst fading into silence.
Her sudden quietness only deepened their worry.
“My daughter…” Yun Ye’s voice was heavy. “Your mother and I only wished to shield you…
We knew you would learn the truth eventually.
But the situation now is far worse than we anticipated…
Enough… Though I don’t know how you uncovered your origins…
Since you already know…
I will tell you everything that happened back then…”
