Chapter 958: You are not Ximen Lie’s biological daughter?
Su Chenyin blinked and looked at Jun Yijue in a reproachful manner: "Ajue, you acted too quickly. I was still thinking about taking action."
Jun Yijue turned around, and his originally cold eyes turned gentle the moment they met Su Chenyin.
He reached out and brushed away the non-existent dust on Su Chenyin's shoulders, and said softly, "Yinyin, these people are not worthy of you to do it yourself. If you get your hands dirty, it will be bad."
"But……"
Su Chenyin wanted to argue a few more words, but was interrupted by Jun Yijue before the words came to her lips.
"No buts."
Jun Yijue's tone was firm and unquestionable.
He tapped her nose with his finger, "You promised me that if you encounter such low-class scum, just let me handle it."
"You are the only one who can protect me." Su Chenyin pouted, but couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, "But, the way you attacked just now was very handsome."
She knew that Jun Yijue was caring for her and protecting her, and she enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
The woods returned to silence, with only the occasional crackling sound of the campfire.
Su Chenyin slowly bent down and picked up the black iron token engraved with the Ximen family emblem on the ground.
His fingers gently stroked the uneven lines on it, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his originally bright eyes.
"Since Ximen Lie likes to hunt us down so much," she said with a dangerous smile on her lips, "then we might as well go and give him a big gift package."
She gently tossed the token into her palm and caught it steadily, revealing the confidence that she was in control of everything.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Su Yi's voice suddenly sounded, his eyes full of worry.
He stood up suddenly, and his robe was blown up by the wind, stirring the light and shadow of the campfire.
Su Chenyin heard the voice and turned to face his brother.
The moonlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on her face, making the cold stars in her eyes shine even brighter.
"Go to the Ximen family and destroy it." She spoke word by word, her voice was not loud but it made the temperature around them drop suddenly.
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.
A purple-gold flame ignited in her palm, devouring the last piece of token ashes.
She looked into the depths of the night, as if she had already seen the Ximen family's mansion collapsing in flames.
"Keeping them here will always be a hazard." Her voice was cold and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Su Yi took a breath of cold air.
His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and his voice was a little tight: "Sister, but the Ximen Hermit Family is Junior Sister Ji's family after all, if..."
"Su Yi!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a pleasant but firm female voice.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Ji Lier had come out of the space storage symbol at some point and was standing under the shadow of an ancient cypress.
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on her white dress, outlining her slender figure.
"Su Yi, since Chen Yin intends to do this, let her go." Ji Lier's voice was calm.
She walked slowly out of the shadows, and in the moonlight, she looked like a fairy descending to the earth.
"Junior Sister Ji..." Su Yi walked quickly forward, but stopped three steps away from her, his hands hanging in the air helplessly and then falling down.
"That being said, the Ximen Hidden Family is your home after all. If I really destroy it, I'm worried that you will..."
Su Yi wanted to say something but stopped.
Ji Lier raised her eyes, and her eyes, which always contained melancholy, were now unusually clear.
The corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile: "Are you worried that I will hate Chen Yin?"
Su Yi pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes filled with even deeper worry.
He was afraid that Ji Lier would become estranged from Su Chenyin because of this incident.
"How could I hate her?" Ji Lier chuckled.
Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the jade pendant on her waist. It was the healing item Su Chenyin gave her the day before. "I wish she would do this."
Suddenly, as if she recalled some painful memory, she clenched her sleeves tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"For me, the Ximen family is not a home at all, but a hell." Ji Lier's voice was trembling. "My mother died in this hell, and her body was not found."
Her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Yi's heart hard and making him feel heartbroken.
Ji Lier slowly raised her head.
When her eyes met Su Yi's, he was surprised to find that the hatred in her eyes was as cold and sharp as a materialized ice blade.
A tear slid down Ji Lier's cheek, "I hate them."
"Junior Sister Ji..." Su Yi's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
He looked at Ji Lier, who was in tears, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he was afraid that his actions would make her even sadder.
So he could only stand there, clenching his hands into fists, unclenching and clenching them again.
Ji Lier raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying hard to make her expression look less sad.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Besides, in Chen Yin's storage space talisman, that sister Bai Shang not only healed my injuries, but also restored my sealed memories."
She paused, a complex look in her eyes, "I remember now, I remember that I am not Ximen Lie's biological daughter at all."
"No wonder he was so cruel to me. All these years of beating, scolding, imprisonment, and digging out my heart to draw blood were just to vent his anger."
Ji Lier's voice trembled slightly, but every word was clear.
"What?!" The wine gourd in Chu Moxiao's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the amber spirit wine flowed like a river on the dead leaves.
He widened his eyes and looked at Ji Lier in disbelief, "Aren't you Ximen Lie's biological daughter?"
Su Yi's pupils also contracted suddenly, and he was obviously shocked by the news.
Su Chenyin's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Ji Lier thoughtfully, as if thinking about something.
Lu Yanchen, Leng Yue and others also looked shocked.
Ji Lier took a deep breath, walked to the campfire and sat down.
The firelight danced on her face, reflecting the pain hidden in her eyes.
"Yes," she said in a vague voice, "my mother told me this secret before she sent me out of the Ximen family."
The night wind suddenly became strong, causing the campfire to flicker.
A dead leaf swirled and fell on Ji Lier's knees. She unconsciously pinched the leaf stalk and turned it.
"My mother, Sima Jiaoyue, was the legitimate daughter of the Sima Yinshi family." Ji Lier's voice was very soft, but every word was clear.
"She is extremely talented, proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is especially good at music. Her song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" can attract hundreds of birds to come and congratulate her."
Speaking of this, Ji Lier's mouth curled up slightly, as if she recalled the grace of her mother's performance.
Su Chenyin listened quietly, looking at Ji Lier's profile, feeling sour in her heart.
She quietly sat down next to Ji Lier and held her cold hand calmly.
Ji Lier didn't seem to notice Su Chenyin's actions. Her eyes were still fixed on the campfire as she continued, "When my mother was young, she traveled all over the world and met a female cultivator on the shore of the South China Sea."
Ji Lier's eyes showed tenderness. "Although that person has no sect or school, she is gifted. She reached the seventh level of Spirit King in her early twenties. Mother and she have been training together, and finally became good friends who enjoy talking to each other."
"Finally, the training time given to my mother by the Sima family came to an end. In desperation, the two of them agreed to meet again in three years, but after my mother returned home..."
