Obstructing the path to becoming the Master of the Chu Clan?
Lu An knitted his brows, waiting for Yin Lin to explain.
"We're the Temi people. The customs of the Eight Ancient Continents don't tolerate us. We're not ashamed. Thus, although Chu Hanming likes Yue Rong a lot, he doesn't dare to take her back." Yin Lin said coldly. "To prevent Chu Hanming from harming the other women of the Temi people, Yue Rong and Chu Hanming stayed on an island in the sea. Only the two of them know about this island. Chu Hanming has a wife in the Chu Clan. He only treats Yue Rong as his lover."
"However... this matter was exposed eventually," Yin Lin continued. Yin Lin said, "Chu Hanming hadn't had sex with his wife for a long time, and he was absent-minded. His wife became suspicious and sent someone to secretly investigate Chu Hanming. Soon, his affair with Yuerong was exposed, and it caused a great uproar in the Chu Family!"
"In their eyes, Yue Rong was a member of the Temi people, and they were from the Hachiko clan. They were the noblest people in the clan. How could they collude with the Temi people?" Yin Lin's eyes were cold as she said maliciously. "When the Master of the Chu Clan got the news, he was enraged. Once this matter got out, the other seven clans would laugh at him. Thus, he had to solve it as soon as possible."
"At that time, the Master of the Chu Clan had two sons. Chu Hanming was the eldest. However, after what he had done, the Master of the Chu Clan wanted to abolish his position as the Young Master. Chu Hanming was afraid that he would lose his position as the Young Master. To keep his position as the Master, he slandered my sister! "
Yin Lin gritted her teeth, talking maliciously. "He said that my sister had seduced him. That was why he had done that. He even threatened my sister to lie for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't spare the Temi people! Under his threat, my father and my sister went to the Chu Clan to confront him. They had to cooperate with him and lie! "
"My sister took all the responsibility. She successfully diverted the hatred of the entire Chu Clan. That was the confrontation. Chu Hanming killed my sister on the spot to prove that he wasn't influenced by the Temi people!" Yin Lin said coldly, "My father forcibly extended my sister's life and took her back to the Temi people. He then led the Temi people to migrate to this place."
"Not long after that incident, my father died from self-blame." Yin Lin said, "Before my father passed away, he passed the position of Patriarch to me. I fled here with my clansmen to hide and set up a formation to protect myself."
"Does Chu Hanming not know that he has a child?" Lu An quickly asked.
"He doesn't know." Yin Lin shook her head and said, "At that time, Yuerong was already eight months pregnant, but as I said, Temi people's pregnancy is very long. With Yuerong's strength, it would take at least a few decades. Eight months of pregnancy is not obvious at all. Before going to the Chu clan to confront them, my younger sister knew that she wouldn't be able to survive, so she put the fetus into the pool in advance. This also caused Yuan Ling to be very weak from the beginning, and the nurturing time became longer. "
"…"
After hearing everything, Lu An became completely silent, and he was extremely furious! Lu An had always hated things like coercing women. This was the thing he couldn't tolerate the most. He couldn't wait to kill all such beasts!
He really didn't know that Yuerong would have such an experience, and it was hard to imagine how much pressure Yuerong had to bear at that time. How strong a person's will must be to be able to remain so cheerful after waking up?
"In fact, Yuan Ling never knew who her mother was. I was worried that Yuerong would never wake up. This kind of thing would make Yuan Ling sad, so I never told her. It wasn't until you cured Yuerong that I told her about this matter. " Yin Lin said, "However, I only told her that Yuerong was her mother, but I didn't say a word about what happened two thousand years ago."
"After learning about her background, Yuan Ling really wanted to know who her father was. Yuerong has always been by your side, so she has been pestering me." Yin Lin said, "Yuerong didn't want to tell her because she was worried that she would want to take revenge and be driven by hatred. This is her matter, and she didn't want her child to be troubled by this kind of thing. However, Yuan Ling really wanted to know, so she threw a tantrum with Yuerong, and their relationship became worse and worse. Yuan Ling really likes you. If you can persuade her, it might be very useful. "
"…"
After Yin Lin finished speaking, the wooden house suddenly became very quiet. Lu An lowered his head and didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking. Yin Lin kept looking at Lu An and didn't say a word.
"Where's Yuerong?" Lu An suddenly raised his head and asked Yin Lin.
"She's with Yuan Ling." Yin Lin said, "You should know where Yuan Ling lives."
Lu An nodded. He went to Yuan Ling's courtyard and said to Yin Lin, "I'll go and take a look now."
Yin Lin didn't say anything and watched Lu An leave the wooden house.

On the other side of Heavenly Charm Island, in a small courtyard on a hillside.
Lu An soon appeared outside the courtyard. He didn't hide his aura, so he didn't need to say anything. The two women who were talking in the house immediately sensed his presence and walked out of the house.
Yuan Ling was the first to run out of the house. After seeing Lu An, she was very happy. She hadn't seen Lu An for a long time. This time, Lu An suddenly appeared here to look for her!
Yuerong also walked out of the house, but she only stood at the door. At this moment, Yuerong's face didn't have any charm. On the contrary, there was a trace of exhaustion.
"Lu An!" Yuan Ling ran in front of Lu An happily and said excitedly, "You came to look for me!"
Looking at Yuan Ling, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "I came to look for you. I have something to say to you."
Yuan Ling was even happier when she heard this and said, "Then let's go in and talk!"
After saying this, Yuan Ling wanted to pull Lu An into the house, but she found that she couldn't pull him at all. Lu An stood in the same place and didn't move.
"Let's take a walk in the forest." Lu An looked at Yuan Ling and said softly, "Let's talk while we walk."
Yuan Ling nodded excitedly and left with Lu An, completely forgetting about Yuerong. Before Lu An left, he glanced at Yuerong. The two of them looked at each other. Lu An's calm eyes made Yuerong's heart inexplicably skip a beat.
Soon, Lu An and Yuan Ling disappeared from the small courtyard. In the forest, Yuan Ling and Lu An walked forward slowly like a couple taking a stroll.
Yuan Ling was very beautiful. There was no doubt about this, but Lu An didn't have any romantic feelings for her. Yuan Ling found that Lu An didn't say a word after calling her out. She was obviously a little confused. Looking at Lu An's thoughtful expression, she asked, "Lu An, is there something on your mind?"
Thud.
Lu An's footsteps suddenly stopped. He faced Yuan Ling and looked at her calmly.
He didn't blame Yuan Ling, because Yuan Ling didn't know what happened two thousand years ago. Even he was the same. Before knowing these things, he couldn't imagine the pain Yuerong had experienced.
"I'm here to persuade you." Lu An looked at Yuan Ling and said softly, "I know you want to know who your father is, but I hope … your relationship with Senior Yuerong can be better."
Yuan Ling was startled. She obviously didn't expect Lu An to come to her because of this matter. Her excited mood was suddenly doused with cold water. Her eyes were obviously much less excited. She looked at Lu An and said, "Who asked you to persuade me? The Patriarch? Or my mother? "
"It's me." Lu An looked at Yuan Ling and said softly, "I just happened to hear this from Senior Yin Lin, so I wanted to persuade you."
"But no one can know my pain." Yuan Ling looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes and said, "Temi people, no matter how chaotic it is, everyone must know who their parents are. There's no mistake. I'm the only one who didn't have parents since I was young. The Patriarch told me that my parents are dead, but he didn't even tell me their names! Now that I suddenly have a mother, don't I even have the right to know who my father is?! "
Yuan Ling's beautiful eyes were full of anger and grievance. It was obvious that she was very angry at her parents who had never appeared. She knew everything Yuerong had done for her. She probably thought that Yuerong had only left temporarily and didn't know where she went.
Lu An was really stupid. He didn't know how to persuade people. He wouldn't force his views and emotions on Yuan Ling after knowing the truth, nor would he stand on the moral high ground and say that Yuan Ling was insensible. He knew that Yuan Ling's grievance came from the bottom of her heart, and it was understandable.
Lu An took a deep breath, looked at Yuan Ling's eyes again and said, "I didn't know who my parents were before. Even now, I don't know a lot of things, and no one tells me."
"There are a lot of things in this world that are beyond your control, but the only thing that can help you know the truth is strength." Lu An looked at Yuan Ling and said softly, "When your strength is high enough, you will naturally know everything, and the truth will be placed in front of you."
