Chapter 897 Eliminate all evidence and trouble.

At this time, the patriarch of the Changsun Yinshi family, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Bai Yongchang, we see your sincerity, but this cannot change our decision."

"Ling'er is the apple of our Changsun Yinshi family's eye. Her marriage is related to the future of our family. We must find a husband for her who is of equal status."

Bai Yongchang's face turned pale, he knew he had no chance.

But he was still unwilling, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't agree with me and Ling'er being together, then I can only elope with her."

When the elders of Changsun Yinshi’s family heard this, their faces darkened.

The clan leader said sternly: "Bai Yongchang, are you threatening us? Do you think you can escape from the clutches of our Changsun family?"

Bai Yongchang felt a chill in his heart, he knew that his words had completely angered the Changsun Yinshi family.

But he had no way out. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I'm not threatening you. I just don't want to lose Ling'er."

Just when the atmosphere was becoming extremely tense, Chang Sun Ling suddenly rushed into the reception room.

She looked at Bai Yongchang with tears in her eyes and said, "Yongchang, don't be like this. I don't want to see you suffer for me."

Bai Yongchang looked at Chang Sun Ling with heartache. He knew that he couldn't make things difficult for her anymore.

He took a deep breath and once again begged the Changsun Yinshi family to allow him and Changsun Ling to be together.

However, no matter how hard Bai Yongchang begged, the elders of Changsun Yinshi's family remained indifferent and turned a deaf ear to his request.

In the eyes of the elders of the Changsun family, Bai Yongchang's move was nothing more than coveting the Changsun family's cultivation resources.

Moreover, Chang Sun Ling is engaged to the Ximen family.

This marriage has been decided long ago, how can it be changed so easily?

In fact, a big part of the reason why Bai Yongchang decided to marry into the family's family was that he coveted the prominent family background and rich cultivation resources of Changsun Yinshi's family.

He knew very well that if he could marry Changsun Ling, he would be able to use the power of the Changsun family to make his path of cultivation smoother and even hope to reach higher peaks.

Chang Sun Ling fell into an abyss of pain.

Faced with tremendous pressure from her family, she felt tortured and torn apart.

On one side is her lover with whom she is deeply in love, and on the other side are the family's unshakable rules and marriage contract.

These two choices were like two heavy mountains, weighing her down to the point where she could hardly breathe.

In the end, after countless days and nights of painful struggle, under the tremendous pressure from the family, Chang Sun Ling was heartbroken and had no choice but to part ways with Bai Yongchang.

Bai Yongchang took a deep breath and said to the elders of Changsun Yinshi's family:

"I'm sorry to trouble you. I know there's no possibility between Ling'er and I. I will leave here and never bother you again."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind Chang Sun Ling with a look of despair and the indifferent elders of the Chang Sun Yinshi family.

Since then, Chang Sun Ling seemed to have lost her soul. She completely closed herself off and didn't let anyone get close to her.

She devoted all her time and energy to cultivation, hoping to forget the pain deep in her heart through this method.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the unforgettable love still followed her like a shadow, tormenting her heart all the time.

At the same time, after losing Chang Sun Ling, Bai Yongchang became depressed and fell into despair.

He drank all day to drown his sorrows, using alcohol to numb his broken heart.

Dragging heavy steps, Bai Yongchang returned to Tianyan Sect dejectedly.

The once sunny, cheerful and high-spirited man has now become haggard, with dull eyes, as if he has lost the vitality of life.

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and a year is gone in a flash.

Under the arrangement of the Changsun Yinshi family, Changsun Ling had to marry the old patriarch Ximen.

Although she was unwilling, she was powerless to resist her family's decision.

After marriage, Chang Sun Ling gave birth to a son and two daughters for the old patriarch Ximen.

Her son, Ximen Lie, is the current patriarch of the Ximen Yinshi family.

Although she and her husband treated each other with respect and equality, Chang Sun Ling's deep affection for Bai Yongchang never diminished in the slightest.

That love, like a treasure buried deep in her heart, was carefully guarded by her and became an eternal regret in her heart.

After learning that Changsun Ling was married and had children, Elder Bai gradually let go of the unforgettable feelings of the past.

He married his current wife and started a new life.

Time flies, and many years pass by like a flash.

Elder Bai also gradually changed from an elegant young man to a calm and dignified elder.

But sometimes, fate is always so fickle——

One day many years later, Bai Yongchang, who had become the elder of Tianyan Sect, met Chang Sun Ling again by chance.

The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stop.

Those beautiful memories that were buried deep in their hearts surged into their minds like a surging tide, making them a little dazed.

All the little things and sweet moments of the past are now reappearing before my eyes.

Their eyes met, and all the words they had to say turned into silence in that instant.

And in this silence, the fire of love that had once been extinguished was rekindled at this moment.

The two of them could no longer suppress their inner feelings and soon became entangled with each other.

The two of them were full of love and lingered with each other, and finally they ended up in bed.

Not long after, Chang Sun Ling was surprised to find that she was pregnant.

She didn't know how to face the child, nor did she know how to face her husband.

After a long period of thinking and with the persuasion of Elder Bai, she finally decided to keep the child.

So, she and Elder Bai found a secluded and deserted place and stayed there to take care of the pregnancy.

Ten months later, the baby girl in Chang Sun Ling's belly was born.

And this baby girl was Bai Luoying.

At the same time, Elder Bai's son also welcomed his first child, also a lovely baby girl.

This coincidence made Elder Bai's fear even stronger.

He was afraid that the secret of his relationship with Chang Sun Ling and the birth of a baby girl would be exposed, and that his reputation and status would be affected.

Driven by extreme panic and selfishness, Elder Bai made an outrageous decision.

He secretly conspired with Chang Sun Ling and planned an astonishing conspiracy.

They decided to switch their daughter with the daughter of Elder Bai's son to ensure that the secret would never be revealed.

The plan was carried out in extreme secrecy and did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

However, Elder Bai's cruel methods are jaw-dropping.

After the substitution, he strangled his son's daughter to death without hesitation and burned her body, as if this would eliminate all evidence and future troubles.
