“You are indeed reserved and patient… I hadn’t thought of this,” Jun Ye’an said after a long silence, “So, what is the connection between the Huansha Sect and my father?”
“The Huansha Sect actually has no significant relation to your father. Initially, it was just a woman in Green Willow Alley who was pregnant and narrowly escaped the massacre. Your father felt guilty and gave her a lot of money, even promising that if the child she bore was a girl, she would marry into the Jun family. Later, the woman went south to find her clan and used that money to help some unfortunate women, gradually forming a sect.”
“I… was the child in her womb?” Chu Xia’s voice trembled with disbelief, “That woman, is she my mother?”
“Your mother passed away early and entrusted you to the sect leader,” Su Feng Hua interjected softly, “Your betrothal to Jun Ye’an is indeed true.”
Chu Xia’s eyes and brows were brimming with joy; she couldn’t help but softly say to Jun Ye’an, “See, I didn’t lie to you.” He then reached out to stroke her hair, gently saying, “Yes, I wrongly blamed you earlier; it was my fault.”
“Now that you know everything, you can die in peace, right?” Cang Qianlang laughed, “Young Master, should I do it, or will you?”
Chu Xia freed herself from Jun Ye’an’s hand, stood up, and said calmly, “Kill me first.” She turned back to smile at Jun Ye’an, showing no fear, “Young Master, I’m sorry… I can’t bear to watch you die in front of me, so I can only… let you watch me go first.”
Jun Ye’an stood up with her, hands behind his back, his demeanor calm as the wind, “Silly girl, who said we would die?” Chu Xia was stunned.
“When you were my sister, I couldn’t bear to let you die… Now that you’re not, I certainly can’t talk about death so lightly.” A slight smile played at the corner of his lips, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, exuding an undeniable confidence and charm.
“Is your poison cured?” Chu Xia’s heart leaped with joy, unable to help but ask, while Cang Qianlang and Su Feng Hua were taken aback. Jun Ye’an shook his head, “No.” Her face darkened instantly.
