Just as Zhao Ying and the man were in love, the Jiuhua Alliance sent word that the man was to return to prepare for his marriage. His betrothal partner wasn't Zhao Ying, but the daughter of a fifth-grade sect's first elder.
Zhao Ying was the only daughter of Xuan Bing Pavilion's leader. To outsiders, her status was extraordinary, but to the Jiuhua Alliance, how could a fourth-grade sect compare to a fifth-grade sect?
Fourth-grade sects had Origin Realm cultivators as elders, with the strongest being at the peak of the Origin Realm. Fifth-grade sects, on the other hand, had Virtualized Realm cultivators as elders, with the strongest being at the Extraordinary Realm! The two couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
This man's status wasn't ordinary. He couldn't decide his own marriage. In order for the Jiuhua Alliance to form an alliance with a fifth-grade sect, he had to marry the daughter of the fifth-grade sect's first elder.
However, young people always pursued love. Even though he was forced by his sect, he promised Zhao Ying that he would cancel the marriage and come back to marry her. However, when he returned to the Jiuhua Alliance, he was controlled by his sect and forced to marry the woman.
When Zhao Ying heard this, she was heartbroken. She lost all hope in love. She wanted to die, but she found out she was pregnant with the man's child. For the sake of the child in her belly, Zhao Ying gave up on the idea of suicide and gave birth to the child alone.
With the child, Zhao Ying's heartbreak was gradually healed, and she gradually recovered. If things ended like this, it might not be a bad thing for Zhao Ying. Unfortunately, the news of Zhao Ying giving birth to a child was leaked, and the woman who was engaged to the man found out!
She was worried that this man would rekindle his feelings for Zhao Ying because of the child, so she made a prompt decision. Through her father, the Great Elder, she gathered a group of experts to the Profound Ice Pavilion, intending to kill the child that had just been born.
Zhao Ying was the only daughter of Xuan Bing Pavilion's leader, but against a fifth-grade sect's expert, how could her father protect her?
Knowing that she couldn't protect the child with her own strength, Zhao Ying made a prompt decision and sent her trusted subordinates to take the child to the man for protection. Unfortunately, they were still a step too late and were caught up by the people sent by the woman.
In a fit of rage, Zhao Ying went to the Jiuehua Alliance in search of her child. She went looking for the man who had betrayed her. It wasn't until then that the man found out they had a child, and that the woman had taken the child.
Enraged, the man immediately went to find the woman he was betrothed to. After interrogating her, the woman actually told him that the child had already been killed by her, causing him to completely give up on Zhao Ying. She also brought the charred corpse of a baby, which was unrecognizable. It was obvious that the baby had been burned to death.
Zhao Ying, who had received this news, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her heart, which had already recovered, exploded again, and she hated the two of them completely.
The man was infuriated. He had no intention of marrying Zhao Ying; it was only an engagement. The Jiuhua Alliance was in dire straits at the time, and they needed an ally. That was why he had feigned civility. He'd planned to look for Zhao Ying after everything was over, but now it was too late. Their child had been murdered.
In order to make up for his mistake, the man personally killed the woman on the spot! He was the pride of the heavens, the son of the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. His strength was not to be underestimated.
After avenging the child, he begged Zhao Ying to forgive him. He wanted to marry her, but Zhao Ying's heart had died with the death of her child. She returned to the Ice Pavilion without a word.
And so, the cheerful and lively Zhao Ying became like this. She was as cold as ice, and rarely left the house. Her heart was completely shut off. Seeing his daughter like this, the Ice Pavilion Master was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. It was a fourth-rank sect, and a subordinate sect of the Jiuhua Alliance. He had no way to avenge Zhao Ying.
In the end, under his command, he paid a great price to build a palace for Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying named it Yunxuan Palace, because the name she had chosen for her child was Yunxuan.
…
Zhao Ying's voice was calm. She finished telling the story, as if she wasn't telling her own story, but someone else's.
Only then did Zhao Binger realize that so many things had happened to her master in the past. Her lover had "betrayed" her, and her child had been killed. To a woman, no matter what it was, it was something she couldn't bear, especially the latter. To a mother, there was nothing more painful than losing her child.
"Then, what about that man?" Zhao Binger asked.
"Do you know Ye Wuhen?" Zhao Ying asked.
"Ye Wuhen?" Zhao Binger thought for a moment. "Isn't that the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance? She's famous throughout the Sky Sword Continent. "
The Ice Pavilion to the Jiuhua Alliance was like the Wind Sword School to the Ice Pavilion. Ye Wuhen was powerful and famous, so of course Zhao Binger had heard of her.
Zhao Ying nodded and said with a mocking smile, "The male lead of the story is him."
Hearing this, Zhao Binger's body shook. She looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief. She didn't expect her master's lover to be Ye Wuhen!
No wonder … Zhao Binger suddenly understood. No wonder her master's position in the Ice Pavilion was so special. No wonder even the current leader of the Ice Pavilion was so respectful to Zhao Ying. It wasn't the attitude a leader should have toward an elder. No wonder her master didn't care about anything, but she was one of the three elders.
She thought it was because Zhao Ying was the daughter of the previous leader of the Ice Pavilion, but now it seemed that it was because of Ye Wuhen. As the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance, if Ye Wuhen wanted to replace the leader of the Ice Pavilion, all she had to do was say the word. He had no choice but to respect Zhao Ying.
"Then he never came to see you, Master?" Zhao Binger had been with Zhao Ying for so many years, but she had never seen Ye Wuhen. She thought that Ye Wuhen was too heartless. A woman who had given birth to his child, a woman who had been so thoroughly hurt by him, didn't even come to see him.
"He wanted to come, but I once said that if he dared to step into the territory of the Ice Pavilion again, I would immediately hide in a place where he would never find me again," Zhao Ying said calmly.
Zhao Binger pursed her lips. It turned out that she had wronged Ye Wuhen. After a pause, she tried to persuade her in a low voice, "Master, why do you have to do this? If he really wants to repent, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing for you to get back together?"
"Humph, if he hadn't come to the Ice Pavilion, how could I have met this heartless man and gotten back together with him? Unless he could bring my child back to life!" Zhao Ying's tone was very firm. She hadn't forgiven Ye Wuhen for more than a decade. How could she change her mind just because of Zhao Binger's words?
Zhao Binger stopped talking. She knew Zhao Ying's character. She would never change her mind once she made up her mind. Maybe she was a little extreme, but that was her character.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ying forced a smile. She reached out to touch Zhao Binger's cheek and said, "Binger, I'm sorry. If it weren't for my character, you wouldn't be so cold to others. But now that you have found your love, you should cherish it."
Zhao Ying could see that Zhao Binger was not as cold as she appeared to be. She could tell from her performance in front of her. It was just that she grew up by her side and was greatly influenced by her. Gradually, she became an ice beauty in the eyes of others.
However, Zhao Binger shook her head and said, "Master, what are you talking about? If you hadn't brought me back, I would have starved to death on the street. How could I have become a warrior and cultivated to such a level?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Binger suddenly had an idea. She looked at Zhao Ying and asked, "Master, how old was I when you brought me back?"
Zhao Ying thought for a moment and said, "I think you were five? Or six? When I first met you, I had just returned from the Jiuhua Alliance. I was wandering aimlessly around the big empires, but I didn't expect to meet you. It seems that the heavens sent you to me. I had just lost my child, and then I met you. Seeing you reminds me of my own child. "
Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Binger lovingly. She and Zhao Binger were like mother and daughter. She had transferred all the love she had for her child to Zhao Binger.
Zhao Binger didn't care about this. She looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Lu Xuan is six years younger than me. Master, don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"
Lu Xuan looked like Ye Wuhen, and he was the same age as Zhao Ying's deceased child. It was too much of a coincidence.
Zhao Ying was stunned when she heard this. Then she shook her head and said, "It's just a coincidence. My child died a long time ago. He was burned alive by that b * tch. Lu Xuan is from the Tianwu Empire, far away from the Jiuhua Alliance. How could it be possible?"
Zhao Binger was still holding on to the problem. She knew that the knot in Zhao Ying's heart was her dead child. If Lu Xuan was really Zhao Ying's child, it would be a good thing for both of them. "You said it yourself.
"You also said that the child you saw at that time was just an unrecognizable baby's corpse. Newborn babies are all similar. Why did that woman burn your baby? Maybe she was deceiving you. Maybe your baby didn't die at all, or maybe she didn't catch your confidant at all. In order to make Ye Wuheng give up on you, she got an innocent baby. However, she underestimated Ye Wuheng's feelings for you and overreached herself. Not only did she fail to win Ye Wuheng's heart, but she also aroused her anger and was killed by Ye Wuheng on the spot." Zhao Binger was also a smart person, so she quickly thought of a possibility.
After listening to Zhao Binger's explanation, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel a little moved. She was actually persuaded by Zhao Binger. Was the truth really like what Zhao Binger said?
