Yun Lian's eyes widened as she stared at Jianchen in shock. The name of the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten, had already been known by everyone in the region. He was the idol of countless youths, the goal they pursued.
This was because not only was he a Heaven Saint Master, but he was also the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun. Both of his identities were enough to make people look up to him. Being enveloped by the halos of these two honors, Jianchen had already become a god-like figure in the eyes of many youths. He stood high above the vast land, mighty and inviolable.
Jianchen smiled when he saw the shock on Yun Lian's face and said, "Come in with me." With that, Jianchen brought the shocked Yun Lian into Changyang Prefecture.
"So you're the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten. I should have thought of it a long time ago. Aside from the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, who else can become a Heaven Saint Master at such a young age?" Yun Lian murmured. Her gaze toward Jianchen was filled with admiration.
After the reconstruction of the Changyang Prefecture, the scenery was even more beautiful. Compared to before, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even the security within the prefecture had become tighter. Groups of guards could be seen at any time, patrolling the Changyang Prefecture in an imposing manner. Their faces were filled with unconcealable pride. To them, it seemed like being able to serve as guards of the Changyang Prefecture was an unparalleled honor. It was something that would bring honor to their ancestors.
The fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture had undoubtedly become the person with the highest status in the Changyang Prefecture. Wherever Jianchen passed by, all the guards who recognized him would bow and greet him. They were extremely respectful.
Passing through Changyang Prefecture, Yun Lian curiously observed the scenery of Changyang Prefecture. However, she was not as calm as she seemed on the surface. She was extremely excited. The Changyang Prefecture was an unreachable peak clan in her eyes. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would personally visit the Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen passed through Changyang Prefecture with Yun Lian without any obstructions. They headed straight for the room of his mother, Bi Yuntian. Very soon, Jianchen arrived in front of Bi Yuntian's room. When the two maids outside saw Jianchen arrive, they were immediately shocked. They hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the fourth young master!"
"Is my mother inside?" Jianchen asked the two maids.
"Reporting to the fourth young master, madam is resting inside." One of the maids said respectfully.
As soon as the voice fell, the door was suddenly opened. Bi Yuntian, who was wearing a white robe, appeared in front of Jianchen. When she saw Jianchen, she suddenly became happy. "Xiang 'er, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me?" Bi Yuntian looked at Jianchen with doting eyes. She loved her son very much. Her son was so outstanding, which made her feel very proud.
Yun Lian curiously looked at the graceful and luxurious Bi Yuntian and thought, "Is this Changyang Shōten's mother? Strange, why does she look a little like my mother? "
Looking at his mother's affectionate gaze, Jian Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "Mother, I actually have something important to tell you this time. Let's talk inside."
Then, Jianchen brought Yun Lian into the room and sat down at an expensive table in the living room.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Bi Yuntian couldn't help but ask, "Xiang 'er, who is this little girl?" While speaking, Bi Yuntian picked up the teapot and personally poured tea for the two of them. Her face was full of motherly radiance.
Jianchen slightly turned his head and looked at Yun Lian who was sitting there very awkwardly. He said, "Mother, she is called Yun Lian. She is from the Blue Wind Kingdom. But I think you should know her mother."
"Oh, who is it? Mother has always stayed in Changyang Prefecture and rarely goes out. I don't know many people." Bi Yuntian chuckled.
Jianchen hesitated for a moment. His eyes stared at Bi Yuntian and said, "Mother, do you know someone called Bi Yunhai?"
"Clang!"
As soon as Jianchen's voice fell, the teapot in Bi Yuntian's hand fell on the table. All the tea poured out and quickly spread across the table.
Bi Yuntian didn't seem to notice that her clothes were slowly soaked by the tea poured on the table. She looked at Jianchen with an extremely excited expression and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say, Xiang 'er? Could it be that you have seen Sister Yunhai? Is she still alive? Where is she now? "Bi Yuntian's trembling voice was full of urgency.
Seeing Bi Yuntian's big reaction, Jianchen was completely certain of his guess. Yun Lian's mother was indeed from the Bi Family. Moreover, she seemed to have a very good relationship with his mother.
Yun Lian heard every word of Bi Yuntian's words clearly. However, she felt very confused because she didn't know when her mother had a relationship with the madam of Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen sighed secretly. He could imagine how sad Bi Yuntian would be when she found out that Yun Lian's mother had passed away.
"Mother, Yun Lian is Bi Yunhai's daughter. Moreover, she also knows our Bi Family's family heirloom battle technique, Traceless Bi Water." Jianchen said with a complicated expression.
Bi Yuntian's gaze immediately fell on Yun Lian. She carefully sized up Yun Lian before slowly approaching Yun Lian. She affectionately grabbed Yun Lian's hands and said excitedly, "So you're Sister Yun Hai's daughter. You really do look a bit like Sister Yun Hai back then. Lian 'er, quickly tell Aunty, where is your mother now? Has she been well all these years? "
When the word 'aunt' entered Yun Lian's ears, her mind instantly went blank. The mother of the fourth madam of Changyang Prefecture, the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, Changyang Shōten, was actually her aunt. This sudden change stunned Yun Lian on the spot. She couldn't react for a long time.
Bi Yuntian looked at Yun Lian with a gentle gaze. There was a hint of doting in her eyes, as if Yun Lian was her own daughter.
"Lian 'er, tell aunt, where is your mother now? Has she been well all these years?" Bi Yuntian said in a sobbing voice. She was so emotional that she couldn't control her tears anymore.
When she heard about her mother, the grief that she had suppressed with great difficulty surfaced in her heart again. Yun Lian's eyes also flowed with sorrowful tears. She sobbed and said, "My mother is already dead."
The expression on Bi Yuntian's face suddenly froze. He looked at Yun Lian in disbelief and said involuntarily, "What? Sister Yun Hai, she … she … she …" Bi Yuntian staggered and fell to the ground.
"Mother, be careful!" Jianchen cried out in alarm. His figure flashed and he arrived beside Bi Yuntian. He carefully helped Bi Yuntian to a chair and slowly sat down. He looked at his mother's sorrowful face with concern and comforted her, "Mother, don't be too sad. After all, it's been so long."
Tears of grief flowed endlessly from her eyes like a fountain. Bi Yuntian's expression changed from surprise to grief in an instant. She sobbed, "Lian 'er, tell aunt, how did your mother die?"
Afterwards, Yun Lian told Bi Yuntian the whole story. When she heard that Yun Lian's mother, Bi Yun Hai, had been beaten to death by a small Yun family patriarch for the sake of obtaining the Bi family's heirloom battle record, her expression became even more sorrowful. In the end, she couldn't help but sob bitterly.
"Sister Yun Hai, you died so miserably. It's all sister's fault for being useless. If sister had known earlier that you were still alive, then you wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Sister has let you down." Bi Yuntian cried out in pain. Her back was extremely painful.
"Aunt, could it be that you know my mother?" Yun Lian also asked the question in her heart while crying.
Bi Yuntian said, "Lian 'er, in the past, your mother was my best sister. We were all direct descendants of the Bi family. Your grandfather and my father were brothers of the same father and mother. However, ever since our Bi family suffered a great calamity, many people died, including your grandfather and my father. They were all killed by a group of mysterious people. Only my brother and I were lucky enough to escape. We originally thought that only me and my brother were left in the Bi Family. Who would have thought that Sister Yun Hai had also successfully escaped. It's a pity that I found out too late. Otherwise, Sister Yun Hai wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. "
Once she thought of how Yun Lian's mother, Bi Yun Hai, was beaten to death, Bi Yuntian's heart was filled with incomparable grief. She couldn't imagine how much her sister had suffered and how much inhumane torture she had suffered.
"Sister Yun Hai has suffered too much these past few years. I must personally avenge her and kill that person who is worse than a beast." Bi Yuntian's eyes flashed with hatred as she gnashed her teeth and said.
"So, you … you really are my aunt." Yun Lian's eyes were filled with tears as she stared blankly at Bi Yuntian.
Bi Yuntian nodded and said, "Lian 'er, I am your aunt. This is Changyang Shōten, your brother!"
Yun Lian's entire body became sluggish. She couldn't accept the sudden change of identity in a short period of time. The fourth madam of Changyang Prefecture was actually her aunt. The Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, the fourth young master of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Shōten, was actually her brother.
If this was in the past, Yun Lian wouldn't even dare to think about it. Changyang Shōten, who she used to admire and be curious about, was actually her brother.
