Fang Qingzhu staggered back three steps, her pretty face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Fang Tianhao in disbelief, "What are you saying? I\'m not of the Fang Family bloodline?"

From her childhood, she was born and raised in the Fang Family.

She had even been willing to become a sacrificial pawn for the Fang Family\'s interests, sinking to the role of a tool for the Fang Family to cling to the Xiao Family through alliance marriage.

But now...

Fang Tianhao was actually telling her she was not of the Fang Family?

Fang Tianhao glanced at the hiding Fang Zheng couple and said indifferently, "Do you still not come forth at this point?"

The Fang Zheng couple came out from behind.

They exchanged a glance, and Fang Zheng pushed Liu Yun, "You say it!"

Liu Yun glared fiercely at Fang Zheng, her gaze toward Fang Qingzhu filled with complexity, and she sighed, "Qingzhu, the head of the family is right, you truly are not one of us. Eighteen years ago, on a snowy night, we found you in the Southern Desolate Mountain Range during our training and brought you back. You are just an unwanted wild seed!"

Fang Qingzhu trembled, feeling an icy chill throughout her body.

She was truly not of the Fang Family?

She was just an unwanted wild seed?

Fang Qingzhu clenched her lips tightly as fresh blood seeped from them, staining her pearly white teeth red. "I don\'t believe it, you\'re lying to me, right? You must all be conspiring to deceive me, right?"

Her hoarse voice was laced with hysteria, and her bloodshot eyes were too intense to meet.

"I..."

Liu Yun looked at the girl she had raised for eighteen years, suddenly feeling a strange sense of fear and unfamiliarity. She opened her mouth but couldn\'t make a sound.

Fang Zheng, standing to one side, sighed and said, "Let me do it then!"

"You are indeed not our daughter. At first, we thought to raise you only to have you serve as a maid, but at the age of eight, you showed exceptional martial arts talent, and we decided to keep your true origin a secret. Having a daughter with remarkable talents could stabilize our position within the clan. We hoped to keep this secret forever and treat you as our own, especially after arranging your marriage with the Xiao Family. But you were crippled and useless, and married to such a weakling, you hold no value for us now..."

Fang Zheng looked up at Fang Qingzhu and said, "Fang Jin has Jia\'s support, and even if you regain your cultivation, you cannot compete with him. Qingzhu, for the sake of eighteen years of affection, my advice to you is to submit willingly to Jia. As long as you serve Jia well, even if only as his lover, you will still be our good girl!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Fang Qingzhu suddenly realized why, as a child, Fang Zheng and his wife had always been so indifferent to her.

It was only after she began to cultivate and displayed immense talent that they suddenly started showing her great concern.

But once she was married to Xiao Yi, and her cultivation was destroyed, they became strangers to her.

"So it turns out... I was nothing but a tool for you to use all along..." Fang Qingzhu murmured to herself. As she spoke, tears fell, and as she cried, she laughed as well.

Yet her laughter was desolate, and her smile was terribly bitter.

She felt as if the whole world plunged into endless darkness.

Out of reach was any light or hope!

Liu Yun, standing aside, shouted, "Your father is right, with Jia\'s status, becoming his lover would hugely benefit us and the Fang Family. You\'re nothing but an unwanted wild seed, becoming his lover is a great fortune for you, I urge you..." Ah...

Before she could finish.

Smack!

Liu Yun was sent flying by a slap from Xiao Yi, her teeth shattered from the impact, and Xiao Yi\'s cold gaze swept across them, "If you utter one more useless word, I\'ll slaughter you right now!"

Hiss!

Fang Zheng and Fang Hao quickly bowed their heads, as silent as cicadas in winter.

Watching Fang Qingzhu by his side, who alternated between laughing and crying, Xiao Yi\'s eyes flashed with pain, and he gently embraced her, "Don\'t be afraid, you still have me!"

Fang Qingzhu stiffened, then gradually softened in his arms.

The warmth emanating from Xiao Yi\'s body felt like a lifesaving straw, pulling Fang Qingzhu out from the abyss of darkness and despair.

Life returned to Fang Qingzhu\'s eyes once more.

She was not alone, she was not unwanted.

She still had Xiao Yi!

"What a touching display of love between a man and his girl… However, you knew that I fancied her, yet you dared to be so intimate with her, isn\'t that too dismissive of me?" Jia Sichun looked at Fang Qingzhu curled up in Xiao Yi\'s embrace, his eyes filled with rage and jealousy, which diluted the awe his imposing aura should have commanded.

His possessiveness was extremely intense.

In his eyes, anyone or anything he desired was his.

No one else was permitted to touch them!

"You…"

Just as Fang Qingzhu was about to speak, Xiao Yi stopped her and shook his head with a light chuckle, "Leave it to me!"

Fang Qingzhu obediently nodded, "Mhm!"

Watching Fang Qingzhu step off the platform, Xiao Yi\'s soft smile quietly faded away, and his nearly closed eyes emitted a cold sharpness. Casually strolling by Fang Jin, he reached out his hand into thin air, and the Dragon Scale Sword whistled into his grip with a swift motion.

"Owow…" Fang Jin cried out in pain.

The Dragon Scale Sword had only pierced through his flesh when it went through his thigh, but Xiao Yi suddenly withdrew it, completely shattering his bones.

Xiao Yi glanced sideways at the curled up Fang Jin who was screaming on the ground and said indifferently, "You\'re too noisy!"

The longsword pierced, penetrating Fang Jin\'s throat.

From the moment Fang Jin set his sights on Fang Qingzhu, his fate had already been sealed!

"No… you, you actually killed Fang Jin?" Fang Tianhao\'s eyes were filled with fury.

Now that their relationship with Fang Qingzhu had become irreparably volatile, Fang Jin was their Fang Family\'s only hope.

But now…

Xiao Yi had personally crushed that hope.

Fang Tianhao shouted to Jia Sichun beside him, "Jia, kill him, quickly avenge Fang Jin!"

Bang!

Jia Sichun made his move.

Only...

His palm struck Fang Tianhao\'s head.

Fang Tianhao\'s body trembled, blood spurted from his seven apertures, and until his dying moment, he still couldn\'t understand why Jia Sichun, clearly on the same side, would suddenly strike at him.

"A dog dares to give orders to me?"

Jia Sichun withdrew his hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his palm, and looked at Xiao Yi with disgust, "Xiao Yi of the Xiao Family? Your brother Xiao Tianjiao is indeed an impressive figure, said to have entered the Dharma Manifestation Realm half a month ago, becoming the Deputy Sect Master of Tianjian Sect, and he might reach the ranks of the ancient giants within ten years. But I heard he doesn\'t think highly of you; he even considers you a disgrace and expelled you from the Xiao Family. If I kill you now, he should thank me, right?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback, "He has reached the Dharma Manifestation already? That\'s fast!"

Though he harbored all sorts of hatred towards Xiao Tianjiao, he couldn\'t help but admire his martial talent.

Entering the Dharma Manifestation Realm in his twenties!

Even in the history of the entire Heavenly Yuan Realm, such individuals are rare.

"It seems I still have a long way to go to surpass him!"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his gaze settling on Jia Sichun, the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand vibrating ever so slightly, its tip flickering with silver light, bright and cold for a hundred zhang, and he said coldly, "If you want to kill me to curry favor with Xiao Tianjiao, you\'ll have to see if you\'re capable!"

Jia Sichun\'s tongue, red as blood, licked his lips, and he sneered, "If you can withstand ten moves from me and hand over Fang Qingzhu to me, I\'ll spare your life. How about it?"

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Killing you is like slaughtering pigs and dogs, ten moves? That\'s too many!"
