Suddenly having a younger sister made Jianchen's feelings become somewhat complicated. He didn't know if he should be happy or worried.
However, Jianchen still felt a burst of joy in his heart. It was fortunate that he hadn't directly chased Yun Lian out of the inn. Otherwise, he didn't dare imagine what kind of treatment Yun Lian would have received. Since the patriarch of the Yun family knew that the battle skill was in Yun Lian's head, would he treat his daughter the same way he treated Yun Lian's mother in order to obtain the Earth Rank Battle Skill? After all, to a small family like the Yun family, an Earth Rank Battle Skill was just too important.
Perhaps Yun Lian's mother didn't want her daughter to feel too much pressure, so she didn't tell Yun Lian anything about the Bi family. Only after meeting Jianchen did she understand more about her mother's identity.
Although Bi Yuntian was very sad about Bi Yunhai's death, she had left her daughter behind. This made Bi Yuntian feel somewhat comforted. She treated Yun Lian as if she was her own son. Although she wasn't the one who gave birth to her, she completely treated Yun Lian as her own daughter. She was full of love and care for her.
Afterwards, Bi Yuntian slowly told Yun Lian about the Bi family. Yun Lian finally understood that her mother had never told her about her past. However, she never would have thought that her deceased mother was actually a direct descendant of a large family.
The three of them stayed in the room for over two hours before the grief in their hearts gradually subsided.
"Xiang 'er, this is your younger sister. Now that you have the ability, you must protect your younger sister well. Don't let her suffer anymore. She has already endured a lot of pain these past few years," Bi Yuntian said to Jianchen.
Jianchen had a serious expression. He nodded solemnly and promised, "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely protect Yun Lian well. In the future, I won't let Yun Lian suffer the slightest grievance."
Yun Lian's emotions became extremely mixed when she heard Jianchen's words. She felt like everything was a dream, unreal. Only four hours had passed since then, yet her identity had changed so drastically. She actually found it rather difficult to accept this as she was completely unprepared.
The Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, Changyang Shōten, used to be the person she admired the most in her heart. He was an unreachable existence that she could only look up to. But now, he had suddenly become her brother, and even vowed to protect her and not let her suffer any grievances. This huge change in status made Yun Lian feel as if she had fallen into a dream.
Bi Yuntian took Yun Lian's hand affectionately and said, "Lian 'er, your beastly father treated you and your mother like that. There's no need for you to be surnamed Yun. Since you're a member of the Bi family, why don't you change your surname to Bi from today onwards? You'll be called Bi Lian. From today onwards, you'll be a member of the Changyang Prefecture and have nothing to do with the Yun family."
Yun Lian hesitated slightly when she heard this, but finally nodded and said softly, "Auntie, I'll listen to you. But will the rest of the people in Changyang Prefecture exclude me?" Yun Lian's face revealed a trace of worry as she spoke. Bi Yuntian smiled.
"Alright, alright, alright. From now on, you'll be called Bi Lian. Lian 'er, don't worry. With your brother's protection, no one will dare to bully you from now on. As for the rest of the people in Changyang Prefecture, you don't have to worry about them at all. This is because in the eyes of outsiders, the most powerful person in Changyang Prefecture is the head of the family and the retired elders. But in the prefecture, your brother is the one with the most authority. No one dares to disobey him, not even the King of the Kingdom of Gesun."
Bi Yuntian's words immediately shocked Bi Lian. She looked at Jianchen in astonishment. Although she knew that Jianchen held a high position in the Kingdom of Gesun, she didn't expect him to have such authority in the family as well. He was above the head of the family and all the elders.
Bi Yuntian pulled Bi Lian's hand and stood up. "Lian 'er, it's getting late. Let's go eat first. I'll introduce you to Uncle and Chang Bo. When we have time, I'll take you to the palace to meet your uncle. Your uncle is currently the commander of the guards in the palace. Unless there's something important, he won't come here."
Hearing that her uncle was the commander of the guards in the Kingdom of Gesun, Bi Lian understood that in just a few hours, her status had undergone a tremendous change. She was no longer the young miss of the Yun family.
However, this identity came too suddenly, and he didn't have much time.
It was very difficult for her to adapt.
'If only my mother could have reunited with Aunt earlier. That way, my mother wouldn't have passed away,' Bi Lian thought to herself.
Afterward, Jianchen and his mother brought Bi Lian to the dining hall. At the dining table, Bi Lian met the head of the family and the other aunts in Changyang Prefecture. Bi Yuntian also told everyone about Bi Lian's status. However, she didn't talk about the Bi family in detail. She only said that she was the daughter of her long-lost good sister.
Everyone accepted Bi Lian's status happily. No one had any objections. All of this was because she had an outstanding son.
Everyone at the dining table ate to their heart's content. Whether it was Changyang Ba, Ling Long, or Second Aunts, Yu Fengyan, they all treated Bi Lian very warmly. The only one who was a little unnatural was Bai Yushuang.
As for Jianchen, he didn't even bother to greet his Third Aunts. His Third Aunts had always been against him since they were young. Especially when he had just returned to Changyang Prefecture, his Third Aunts' words angered Jianchen to the point where he could no longer tolerate them. If not for the fact that she was his aunt, Jianchen wouldn't have let her off so easily.
After the meal, Bi Yuntian dragged Bi Lian to her room while Jianchen returned to his palace-like building to rest alone.
The night passed quickly. The next morning, Jianchen bid farewell to Changyang Ba and brought Bi Yuntian and Bi Lian along as they flew out of Changyang Prefecture, heading straight for the Blue Wind Kingdom.
Bi Yuntian clearly hated the murderer who killed her sister, Bi Yunhai. No matter what, she wanted Jianchen to bring her along to the Blue Wind Kingdom to personally avenge her sister. Jianchen couldn't persuade her, so he could only helplessly bring his mother along to the Blue Wind Kingdom.
After a few hours of flight, Jianchen once again returned to the inn in the Blue Wind Kingdom's Phoenix City. It just so happened that Ming Dong, You Yue, Tie Ta, and Dugu Feng were all there.
When they saw Jianchen return so quickly, they were all very happy. However, when they noticed Bi Yuntian beside Jianchen, they were all stunned.
"Ah, Aunty, why did you come here personally?" You Yue stared at the white clothed, graceful and luxurious Bi Yun Tian. She was very surprised.
Bi Yuntian smiled and exchanged a few words with You Yue before looking at Jianchen and somewhat impatiently asking, "Xiang 'er, where is the murderer who killed Sister Yunhai?"
Jianchen said to Dugu Feng, "Go and bring the Yun family's patriarch here."
Very soon, the haggard Yun family's patriarch was brought over by Dugu Feng. When she saw the murderer who killed her sister, Bi Yuntian could no longer maintain her usual composure. She stepped forward and kicked the Yun family's patriarch. Her expression was incomparably furious.
"You're worse than a beast. It's your fortune that Sister Yunhai was willing to follow you. Instead of cherishing her, you actually treated her like this and beat her to death. I want you to pay for her with your life." Bi Yuntian cursed as she beat the patriarch. When she thought about how Sister Yunhai, who was very close to her since childhood, was beaten to death by this person in front of her, her heart was filled with incomparable grief.
When Ming Dong, You Yue, Dugu Feng, and Tie Ta saw Bi Yuntian's actions, they were all dumbfounded. The four of them stood there and stared at each other. They didn't understand what was going on at all.
Yun Lian, who had lost her mother, was unable to control herself either. She constantly kicked the Yun family's patriarch's head as she cursed.
"Stop hitting me, Lian 'er. I'm your father. Although I've done things that your mother didn't deserve, you can't treat me like this. I'm your father after all. I was wrong. I apologize to you, okay? Please forgive me. If you don't give me the antidote, I'll be poisoned to death by you." The Yun family's patriarch held his head as he lay on the ground and begged for mercy. He was already heavily injured, and the poison had spread throughout his body. He had even lost the most basic ability to move. The only way to survive was to get his daughter to hand over the antidote.
"You're not worthy to be my father. I don't have a father who's worse than a beast like you. From now on, my surname is no longer Yun, but Bi," Bi Lian cried out with tears in her eyes.
The two of them beat up the Yun family's patriarch for a while before finally stopping, panting slightly.
"Lian 'er, take your aunt to see your mother's grave," said Bi Yuntian.
Bi Lian nodded slightly before leaving the inn with the others. They walked out of the city, leaving the patriarch to Dugu Feng.
Soon, the group arrived at a small forest outside of Fengyang City and saw Bi Yunhai's grave. The grave was very simple. There was only a small mound and a tombstone that was half the height of a person. On the tombstone, the words "Bi Yunhai's Grave" were clearly engraved.
