The sea breeze blew over the mountains and over the treetops, gently carrying fallen leaves to the square outside the ancestral shrine.
After hearing Jiang Yuankui's reply, Qin Yongyan's heart sank. He hurriedly bowed and begged, "I have also heard that the Jiang clan's secret has never been mentioned to outsiders. However, this matter concerns my daughter's life, so I have no choice but to treat it seriously …"
"Mister, you are the leader of a clan. If you have any difficulties, this junior can understand …"
"I only hope that sir can give me some pointers and point out a path for my poor daughter …"
"This junior will definitely remember such a great favor in his heart at all times …"
"Thank you for your trouble, sir!"
After speaking, Qin Yongyan bowed to Jiang Yuankui again.
The meaning of his words was very clear. Even if Jiang Yuankui could not reveal it due to the clan rules, he could still give him some pointers. In any case, he could give him a direction to work towards. Then, he could find a solution in that direction.
This request did not seem excessive, but Jiang Yuankui did not know why. After hearing Qin Yongyan's words, he responded with an expressionless face, "I already said that I cannot help you with this matter …"
"Please go back."
After speaking, Jiang Yuankui flicked his sleeves and turned to walk back to the ancestral shrine.
"Sir Jiang! Please stay! "
Qin Yongyan could not help but feel anxious. He could not help but take a few steps forward, wanting to say a few words to Jiang Yuankui.
However, at this time, a young man appeared in front of him at an extremely fast speed. Then, he stretched out his right hand and stopped Qin Yongyan.
"The clan leader's meaning is very clear. Please go back."
Qin Yongyan glanced at the young man, only to discover that this young man was actually a Diviner level expert.
For a moment, he was unable to advance or retreat.
Qin Yongyan's face revealed a look of struggle.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly bent his knees in front of this young man, and with a 'plop', he knelt on the ground.
"I hope that Sir Jiang will be merciful and save my poor daughter!"
A Diviner was actually doing such a thing. This made the young man feel a little surprised, so he could not help but look at Jiang Yuankui, wanting to hear his opinion.
Jiang Yuankui stopped, but he didn't turn around.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't …"
"Her fate was sealed the moment she became the Siming Xuan Nu …"
"Isn't it too late for you to regret it now?"
At this point, Jiang Yuankui suddenly glanced at the young man and said, "Feng Yan, help me see the guest out."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The young man called Feng Yan nodded. Then he reached out his right hand and said to Qin Yongyan, "Mr. Qin, please go back."
Qin Yongyan knelt on the ground and remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he gently shook his head and said in a very lonely voice, "Forget it. I have disturbed Mister today. I hope Mister won't blame me. I will take my leave now …"
After that, Qin Yongyan stood up and slowly walked down the mountain.
As they walked, they listened to the constant gurgling sounds of the waves.
Qin Yongyan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a self-mocking smile appeared on his face.
He had personally sent Qin Ruoying to the Ancestral Hall, and now it was too late for regrets.
The reason he regretted it was all because of that cheap son-in-law.
Qin Yongyan would never forget that day.
All Saints Valley.
In a small courtyard at the back of the mountain.
When Chen Xi faced everyone and loudly shouted "Let's go home", it was like a heavy hammer hitting Qin Yongyan's heart.
His voice was as loud as a bell and as loud as thunder!
It also made him completely wake up.
Qin Yongyan was in great pain as he watched his lover die in his arms, but he didn't understand why he was in pain.
Everything about the Siming Xuan Nu was normal for everyone in the village.
In everyone's opinion, becoming the Xuan Nu was always an extremely glorious thing.
Even if …
They knew that the Xuan Nu would have a shorter lifespan.
Becoming the Xuan Nu was the most glorious thing in All Saints Valley since ancient times.
Children of eight or nine years old were ignorant. If the elders said that the Xuan Nu was good, the children would naturally want to become the respected Xuan Nu.
Until they reached adulthood, until they died prematurely due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.
They always believed that being able to become the Xuan Nu was their blessing.
Everything had been deeply ingrained in them.
Qin Yongyan finally understood why he had felt pain in the past.
What was the purpose of life?
For the current him, being able to see his daughter grow up and live a happy and stable life was the most meaningful thing.
As for the rest …
It wasn't important.
In order to make up for his mistakes, the first thing Qin Yongyan did after becoming a Diviner was to seek help from Dai Yu Island.
Since the rules were set by humans, they could naturally make one or two exceptions.
But unfortunately …
Qin Yongyan's ability was limited, and he didn't have enough face. Jiang Yuankui obviously couldn't break the rules for him.
He couldn't, but someone else could.
Thinking of this, Qin Yongyan couldn't help but chuckle.
But there was a bit of loneliness, a bit of unwillingness in that smile, and at the same time, a bit of consolation.
He was old …
He couldn't take care of his daughter like before.
He had taken care of Yingying for half his life, but now this responsibility fell on the shoulders of someone else.
For a father, this feeling was indeed a bit complicated.
But no matter what, as long as Yingying could be happy, as a father, he didn't care.
…
Polygonum Zhi Ge, bandit Yi Hao.
Mourning for my parents, who gave birth to me.
Polygonum Zhi Ge, bandit Yi Hao.
Mourning for my parents, who gave birth to me.
…
When Qin Yongyan's figure disappeared from the foot of the mountain, Jiang Fengyan thoughtfully came to the ancestral hall.
There were no outsiders present, so Jiang Fengyan directly called out to Jiang Yuankui, "Father."
Jiang Yuankui held three sticks of incense and stood in front of the ancestral tablets respectfully.
After inserting the incense in his hand into the incense burner, Jiang Yuankui turned around and asked, "Is he gone?"
"Yes."
Jiang Fengyan responded.
Then, he said with a confused expression, "Father, I don't understand …"
"What don't you understand?"
"You don't even know this, do you? Qin Yongyan's daughter is called Qin Ruoying. I heard that it was because of her that the All Saints Valley was flattened by Mr. Chen … "
"So what?"
Jiang Fengyan was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be completely unable to understand Jiang Yuankui's approach, so he hurriedly said, "Father, Mr. Chen is above the Celestial Being. It's completely inappropriate to offend him over a few words, right?"
Jiang Yuankui didn't answer.
Seeing this, Jiang Fengyan gritted his teeth and continued, "The spirit energy has been surging too much recently. Second Granduncle may break through at any time …"
"If we take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Mr. Chen, we may be able to ask him for help …"
"If he's so helpful, why do you have to push him away?"
Seeing Jiang Fengyan's puzzled look, Jiang Yuankui laughed and said, "Fengyan, you're oversimplifying things …"
"Let's not talk about your Second Granduncle first. This Si Ming Xuan Nu is actually not as simple as you think …"
Jiang Yuankui explained with a smile.
However, Jiang Fengyan still couldn't agree with his point of view, so he couldn't help but shout, "Father!"
He wanted to say something, but Jiang Yuankui waved his hand directly, indicating that he should stop talking.
"Just wait and see. If Mr. Chen really cares about that woman, then he'll definitely go to Daiyu Island himself …"
"When that time comes …"
