Chen Hanxue had been forcibly taken to the Xuanhuang Clan in the Qiankun Academy. Because of this, she had truly learned of her origins. She was actually a member of the Xuanhuang Clan.
Sigh, could this be my fate? Chen Hanxue sighed in her heart. Thinking of her parents, she immediately felt a burst of sadness and helplessness.
Her parents had died for no other reason than because of the chaos between them. They were reviled and ostracized by the clan. In the end, they couldn't stand the supercilious looks and committed suicide.
The Xuanhuang Clan was very vast. There were tens of thousands of members in the clan. Among them, blood relatives had been separated by many generations. Logically speaking, intermarriage between them was also allowed. However, people of different generations were still not allowed to intermarry.
In large clans, the elders were sometimes younger than the juniors. This kind of thing was common. Chen Hanxue's parents were like this. They were about the same age and were not directly related by blood. They loved each other very much. However, in the end, not only were they not blessed, but they were also ostracized by the clan, which led to the final tragedy.
The Xuanhuang Clan was wrong, but they were not the real culprits who killed her parents. Her parents were only indirectly killed by them. Although she knew that the clan didn't do it on purpose under the persuasion of the elders, she didn't care too much about it after so many years. However, there was still a knot in her heart. She was indeed not as close to the Xuanhuang Clan as the Chen Clan.
Now, the same problem was placed in front of Chen Hanxue. Chen Jiu, her nephew, had vowed to save her. He didn't hesitate to risk universal condemnation to confess his feelings. His persistence and devotion really moved her.
However, although she was moved, Chen Hanxue couldn't accept such feelings. The matter of her parents couldn't help but ring an alarm bell for her.
Looking at Chen Jiu from time to time, Chen Hanxue found that she couldn't let go of him. She felt that she was enveloped by an inescapable fate. It was as if the unwillingness of her parents had been bestowed on her. They wanted her to complete their mission and completely prove to the world that love didn't care about age and seniority.
For some reason, looking at his tall and straight figure and thinking about his fearless actions for her, Chen Hanxue suddenly felt that she was happy. At least she knew that in this life, she would never follow the same path as her parents.
Not for any other reason, but because the man she met was Chen Jiu. Although he was young, he was capable of shouldering everything.
"Chen Jiu, come here. I have something to tell you." Chen Hanxue waved at him. She couldn't bear to let him stand there any longer.
"Aunt, what's the matter? Can you help me solve it first?" Chen Jiu didn't seem to be angry at all. Instead, he directly asked for more.
"Go, if you can't stand it, then go find Lanlan and ask her to help you." Chen Hanxue waved her hand in fear. This fellow's current form was enough to scare people to death just by looking at him from the outside. Who would dare to help him?
"Aunt, Lanlan is just a little girl. She doesn't know as much as you do." Chen Jiu felt a little wronged.
"That's enough. Don't think that I don't know what's going on between you two. Will you let go of such a beautiful little girl?" Chen Hanxue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Are you going to listen or not?"
"Yes, Aunt. Go ahead. I'll continue to hold it in." Chen Jiu hurriedly restrained himself.
"Alas …" Chen Hanxue sighed and told him about her background. In the end, she said with a sad face, "Chen Jiu, now you know how difficult it is for me, right?"
"Aunt, don't be sad. I won't force you." Chen Jiu hurriedly comforted her and hugged Chen Hanxue in his arms.
"I know. But even if you don't force me, my heart will still be with you." Chen Hanxue's face was full of struggle. "Chen Jiu, do you think it's possible between us?"
"Aunt, of course it's possible. Please believe me. I'll definitely give you a happy future. Your parents' fate will never repeat itself on us." Chen Jiu saw that Chen Hanxue was no longer running away and immediately promised her solemnly.
"No, this won't work." Chen Hanxue suddenly shook her head and refused again. She still couldn't accept that she was really with Chen Jiu.
It was fine if she fooled around with him, but if they really became husband and wife, even she herself felt that it was an extremely ridiculous thing to do.
"Aunt, please believe me." Chen Jiu hugged Chen Hanxue tightly again.
"No, Jiu 'er, let me think about it for a few more days. I really can't accept you now." Chen Hanxue shook her head. She knew that she liked this little man, but she still couldn't cross the threshold in her heart.
Not for the ridicule of the world, only for her own conscience and morals.
"Jiu 'er, is Hanxue here? Your grandfather is looking for her …" At this moment, Chen Tianhe suddenly walked over.
"Ah, brother …" Seeing Chen Tianhe, Chen Hanxue was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She quickly squirmed out of Chen Jiu's arms and called out politely, but it was very unnatural.
"Let's go, Hanxue. Come with me." Chen Tianhe glared at Chen Jiu, but didn't say anything more. He directly led Chen Hanxue away.
In the main room of the Chen family, Chen Long was seated. When he saw Chen Hanxue arrive, he also stood up to greet her respectfully.
"Father, don't treat me like this. I can't accept your courtesy." Chen Hanxue was flattered and hurriedly tried to persuade her father.
"Hanxue, it's been over ten years since we last met. You've already grown up. Do you still remember me?" Chen Long faintly sighed, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.
"Father, Hanxue will never forget your kindness in raising me." Chen Hanxue immediately knelt in front of Chen Long and said apologetically, "Hanxue has been studying outside these past few years. I've always missed the Chen family, missed father and my clansmen. Unfortunately, my cultivation base is too low and I can't come visit father often. Please forgive me."
"Hanxue, quickly get up. As long as you still recognize me as your father, I'm satisfied." Chen Long affectionately pulled Chen Hanxue up.
"Father, Hanxue will definitely be filial to you in the future." Chen Hanxue immediately promised.
"Hanxue, I called you here today mainly to hear what you think of that brat Chen Jiu." Chen Long then rushed to the main topic.
"This … Chen Jiu, that brat, only knows how to fool around all day. Father, don't be deceived by his flowery words. There's nothing between us." Chen Hanxue's face flushed red. She was embarrassed and refused to admit that she had anything to do with Chen Jiu.
"Really? Then I heard that he was willing to die in battle in the Xuanhuang Palace for you. He even used his own strength to suppress all the Saints and beat up the Emperor of the Xuanhuang Palace. He didn't hesitate to risk universal condemnation to take you away from the Xuanhuang Palace. I wonder if you're grateful to him or hate him? "Chen Long couldn't help but ask.
