Tang Wan's story started from a suicide note that Tang Zhechen had left for her after his death.
If Tang Zhechen hadn't died, Tang Wan wouldn't have been able to see the suicide note. However, Tang Zhechen and Yan Buwen's plan had failed. Knowing that he couldn't continue, he told Tang Wan some secrets about the relationship between the Tang Family and Hongmeng.
At that time, the Tang Family was related to Hongmeng and was responsible for supplying secular resources to Hongmeng. Every family head and successor had contact with Hongmeng messengers.
Tang Wan's father, the eldest son of the Tang Family, Tang Lun, was trained by Tang Zhechen as his successor because he was young and promising. Naturally, he knew the Hongmeng messengers.
At that time, the Hongmeng messengers happened to be a yellow-rank cultivator called Xuan Jizi.
Originally, everything was done according to the old rules. The Hongmeng messengers told the Tang Family about the requirements in the illusion realm. After the Tang Family finished arranging everything, the Hongmeng messengers would check and send the goods into the illusion realm.
This was just a business relationship, so there shouldn't be any other contact.
However, during several meetings with Tang Zhechen and his son, this cultivator called Xuan Jizi found out that there was a woman with a "Pure Yin Constitution" in the Tang Family!
The so-called Pure Yin Constitution wasn't like Hsiao Chih-ching's Nine Yin Meridians, which were too Yin and harmful to the body.
On the contrary, women with Pure Yin Constitution were highly valued by cultivators because of the pure Yin Qi in their meridians. They were very suitable for cultivation. From the moment they were born, their bodies would unintentionally absorb pure Yin Qi, which made it easier for the pure Yin Spiritual Qi in the world to approach them.
However, when a woman with a Pure Yin Constitution loses her virginity, the man's Yang energy will enter her body. Especially after giving birth, the pure Yin energy that has been accumulated in her body since she was young will be exhausted.
Therefore, if a woman with Pure Yin Constitution was a woman with a pure Yin Spiritual Qi, she would choose to be pure and have few desires. She would never have anything to do with men to avoid delaying her cultivation.
This woman was none other than Tang Wan's mother. Although she had already given birth to Tang Wan and was pregnant with her younger brother, Tang Jue, Xuan Jizi discovered that her body had accumulated quite a bit of pure Yin spiritual energy.
At that time, Xuan Jizi, who was only at the Late Stage of Soul Formation, suddenly had evil thoughts. The Pure Yin Spiritual Qi was very helpful for him to break through to the Tribulation Passing Stage.
He knew that if he waited until he returned to Hongmeng, he would not have another chance. He had to make a prompt decision.
Moreover, there wasn't much time left for him. He had to wait until Tang Wan's mother gave birth to Tang Jue. Otherwise, when Tang Jue was born, there wouldn't be much left.
Under normal circumstances, the cultivators of Hongmeng would not have such evil thoughts. Firstly, most of them were not bad people. Secondly, they were not brave. Thirdly, they might not have a way to absorb the pure Yin spiritual energy.
However, it just so happened that Xuan Jizi was audacious to the extreme, and was willing to use any means necessary. Coincidentally, his sect had a technique that was specifically related to Yin and Yang seizing techniques. However, this technique was far too evil, and if word of it were to spread, it would definitely be denounced by some righteous people. He did not dare to make it public and only cultivated in secret.
In order to be in a hurry, Xuan Jizi raped Tang Wan's mother one night when Tang Lun was not at home.
He threatened the woman to keep quiet if she wanted to keep the child.
At that time, the pitiful woman only wanted to protect Tang Jue, who was in her belly. She had no power to resist this mysterious stranger who appeared in the middle of the night.
Xuan Jizi continuously visited the Tang Family for nearly two months. After absorbing more than ten times, he finally absorbed all the pure Yin spiritual energy in Tang Wan's mother's body until there was nothing left!
Because of this, Tang Wan's mother had a difficult labor. Both mother and child were almost lost.
At that time, Xuan Jizi had already returned to Hongmeng and replaced him with another yellow-rank cultivator.
Before leaving, Xuan Jizi threatened Mrs. Tang that if she dared to speak of it, it would be bad for her and the Tang Family. The Tang Family was only Hongmeng's lackeys, so it was best for her to obediently pretend not to know anything.
This threat was actually very effective. Xuan Jizi's untraceable movements made the naive Mrs. Tang feel that the Tang Family was no match for him. After all, she wasn't the head of the family or the heir, so she didn't know about Hongmeng's origins.
For the sake of her husband, child, and family, Mrs. Tang had always buried this humiliation in her heart. However, Tang Lun was no fool. He still noticed his wife's strangeness, especially when she talked in her sleep during nightmares. It made Tang Lun realize that something was wrong.
If her previous bad mood was due to her pregnancy, then why did it worsen after giving birth? She was always restless, and her nights as husband and wife also became very frightening …
Finally, on a rainy night, Mrs. Tang could no longer control the pain in her heart. Under Tang Lun's patient guidance, she told him everything and cried bitterly for Tang Lun's forgiveness …
When Tang Lun heard the whole story, it was like he was struck by lightning. It was like his soul had left his body.
He went from shock, to disbelief, to anger, and finally, to frustration, helplessness, and heartache …
Indeed, as Xuan Jizi said, the Tang Family was only a secular family. Even though they were one of the four major families, without their relationship with Hongmeng, they were far inferior to the Ning, Yang, and Li Families.
But … his wife had suffered such humiliation when she was pregnant. As a man, a proud man who had received countless halos since he was young, Tang Lun felt that his whole world had collapsed.
He didn't actually blame his wife, but he couldn't take revenge on Xuan Jizi. He kept it in his heart and became neither human nor ghost. His mental state became more and more unstable.
Tang Zhechen saw that his beloved son and his wife were gradually becoming completely different from before. He was worried, but he couldn't ask for the reason …
Until Tang Lun couldn't stand the torture and decided to leave. He killed his wife and himself …
All these twists and turns were written in a suicide note by Tang Lun before he died. However, he didn't give it to Tang Zhechen. Perhaps, even though he wanted to commit suicide, he was filled with reluctance and hesitation until he finally broke down …
When Tang Zhechen saw the truth, his personality changed drastically. Later on, he teamed up with Yan Buwen and crazily wanted to overthrow and take revenge on Hongmeng.
Of course, the father and son of the Tang Family had no idea why Xuan Jizi would commit such a deranged act against Mother Tang.
But no matter what the reason was, Xuan Jizi destroyed Tang Lun and his wife, destroyed Tang Wan and her brother's childhood, and almost destroyed the Tang Family …
…
Tang Wan sat on the bed quietly and finished narrating her story. Her eyes were misty.
"I read about these things from grandfather's suicide note, but I didn't know if it was true … because grandfather has lied to us too many times …
Moreover, Hongmeng is a huge organization after all. I know I don't have the ability to verify anything, and I don't want you to go overboard because of this.
I just didn't expect to hear about Xuan Jizi today, so … I couldn't control myself … "
Although the woman said it calmly, Yang Cheng could still feel the waves in Tang Wan's heart.
She actually believed it, but the other party was too special, so she had to endure it …
Humiliating a pregnant mother and causing the death of both parents. This kind of blood feud was too deep for a normal child to compromise.
As Tang Wan's man, Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent after hearing these things.
"If I'm not wrong, your mother must have some kind of special constitution that attracted Xuan Jizi's attention. He must have relied on this dirty deed to improve his cultivation so quickly."
Yang Cheng quickly guessed it.
"Maybe …" Tang Wan wiped the corner of her eyes and smiled, "It feels much better to say it out loud … I've always struggled with this matter. Should I tell you or not? Now that I've said it, I hope you won't be impulsive and bring trouble to everyone for me. I don't like it."
"Don't worry, I just said that we'll talk about it after the vacation. Hongmeng sent Xuan Jizi to find me, so I reckon he won't give up so easily. When I see that guy, I know what to do. "Yang Cheng comforted the woman with a smile, but in his heart, he had already drawn a scarlet steel fork for the guy he had never met.
Hugging Tang Wan and comforting her for a while, Yang Cheng only left her room after making the woman laugh.
He felt a little stifled, so he decided to go to the deck to get some fresh air.
As soon as he reached the top deck, he discovered that Lin Ruoxi was sitting alone under a sun umbrella, drinking afternoon tea.
Seeing Yang Cheng come up, the woman seemed to have known for a long time. She pointed to another cup of black tea and a seat, and coldly said, "Sit, is Tang Wan alright?"
