Chapter 959 Ji Lier’s biological father: Ji Mingsi.

Ji Lier's fingers suddenly tightened, and the dead leaves crumbled into powder in her palms. "The elders and ancestors of the Sima family actually forced her to marry Ximen Lie!"

Speaking of this, Ji Lier became a little excited.

Her eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in them.

Seeing this, Chu Moxiao silently added a piece of firewood to the fire.

Sparks popped and illuminated everyone's solemn faces.

"Actually, my grandparents didn't want my mother to marry someone they didn't like." Ji Lier took a deep breath and continued.

"But the Ximen family was very powerful at the time, and they used the name of marriage to annex part of the Sima family's territory."

Her voice began to tremble: "Under the pressure from the family, my mother had no choice but to agree to this marriage with tears in her eyes."

"This Ximen Lie is so abominable!" Lu Ziche couldn't help but interrupt, his tone filled with resentment towards Ximen Lie.

Ji Lier smiled bitterly: "What's even more ridiculous is that the person Ximen Lie really liked at the time was actually my mother's cousin Sima Lan. He thought it was my mother who broke them up."

"So, on the wedding day, he didn't even lift my mother's veil, and just walked away. From then on, for a whole year, he never set foot in my mother's courtyard again."

"Beast!" Su Yi cursed in anger.

"My mother spent every day like a year in Ximen's house."

Ji Lier looked up at the night sky that was shattered by the treetops. "A year later in the spring, she left a letter to Ximen Lie, saying that she was going out for training. Actually..."

Her voice suddenly choked up, "In fact, she can no longer stand the cage of the Ximen family. She feels that she is about to suffocate to death in the Ximen family."

Jun Yijue had stood behind Su Chenyin without her knowing, his slender fingers gently resting on her shoulders.

Su Chenyin understood, took out a pot of spiritual tea from the space, and poured a cup for everyone.

Ji Lier held the teacup, feeling the warmth passing through the wall of the cup to her palm.

She took a sip of hot tea and continued, "After leaving the Ximen family, my mother set out on the journey to the coast of the South China Sea."

"She wanted to find the female cultivator from that year, but when she arrived at the Qingming Mountains, she encountered a terrible accident..."

Ji Lier's voice was suddenly interrupted, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"What happened?" Rong couldn't help but ask.

Ji Lier calmed down and her voice suddenly became cold: "She encountered a group of evil cultivators."

"We encountered a group of evil cultivators." Ji Li'er's voice suddenly turned cold. "They seriously injured my mother and stole her storage ring. Just when my mother was dying, a passing cultivator saved her."

Upon hearing this, Su Chenyin and the others' expressions turned serious.

Evil cultivators are notorious in the cultivation world. They do whatever it takes to do anything, and often treat other cultivators in a cruel and bloody manner.

"Those evil cultivators showed no mercy to my mother. Not only did they severely injure her, they also stole her storage ring. My mother was seriously injured and on the verge of death. A cultivator passing by saved her."

Ji Lier's eyes gradually became moist and tears welled up in them.

Lu Yanchen asked thoughtfully: "Could this monk be..."

Ji Lier nodded, and a hint of warmth finally appeared in her eyes: "Well, he is my real father."

"He told my mother that his name was Ji Mingsi. But he didn't tell her where he was from. He just said he came here to look for an important person."

"He had unfathomable skills and was good at medicine. He brought my seriously injured mother to a cave and took good care of her for three months before her condition gradually improved."

Su Chenyin listened quietly.

She noticed that when Ji Lier mentioned her biological father, the lingering depression between her brows actually faded a little.

"Father doesn't know mother's identity, and mother didn't tell him either." Ji Li'er stroked the edge of the teacup and began to speak again.

"They fell in love that spring. When my father was collecting herbs, my mother would play the zither beside him to add some fun to him. When my father was making elixirs, my mother would not be idle either, but would study medical books and discuss medical techniques with my father."

"When my father went out to look for that person, my mother would wait for him in the cave. Every time he came back, he would bring back many new things for my mother, which always surprised her."

Tears welled up in her eyes. "My mother's face was always filled with a happy smile at that time. That was the happiest time of her life."

A gust of night wind blew by, causing the fire to flicker.

Jun Yijue waved his wide sleeves lightly, and an invisible barrier blocked the wind outside, and the flames stabilized again.

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long," Ji Li'er's voice sounded a little cold in the night wind. "A year later, my father suddenly received an important message. He didn't have time to explain it to my mother, so he left in a hurry. Before leaving, he only left a sentence to my mother, 'Wait for me to come back', and left without looking back."

"As soon as my father left, and before my mother had time to worry and feel sad, Ximen Lie and his men showed up like demons. They threatened my mother to go back with them, but she was worried about my father and refused to agree."

When Su Yi heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

He had never expected things to develop to this extent, and quickly asked: "What happened next?"

Ji Lier's voice trembled slightly: "Later, the devil Ximen Lie did not give up. He even threatened my mother with the lives of the entire Sima family. My mother was forced into a desperate situation. She knew very well that if she didn't agree, the entire Sima family would suffer a devastating disaster."

She dug her nails deep into her palms. “Mother really had no choice. Besides, she was already pregnant with me at that time. She could only agree to Ximen Lie with tears in her eyes.”

Ji Lier burst into tears: "After my mother was forcibly taken back to the Ximen family, in order to allow me to live openly in this world, she had no choice but to give Ximen Lie an aphrodisiac."

"Then, she suppressed her nausea and spent that night with Ximen Lie. A few days later, her mother told Ximen Lie that she was pregnant."

Ji Lier's tears fell again. "When Ximen Lie heard the news and thought of the night he spent with his mother, he didn't even have the slightest doubt."

Time flies, and eight months later, on a dark rainy night, Ji Lier came into this world.

This moment, which should have been filled with joy, turned terrifying and bloody because of the appearance of Ximen Lie.

"Ximen Lie was drunk that night. He broke into the delivery room, grabbed my mother's neck, and asked me whose bastard I was! In order to protect me, my mother lied that I was born prematurely."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Ji Lier took a deep breath and continued to tell the story of that tragic experience.

"After hearing my mother's explanation and thinking about her difficult situation in the Ximen family, Ximen Lie felt that my mother's premature birth was understandable. So, he believed what my mother said, but from then on, he imprisoned my mother and me in Lengyuexuan, the most remote place in the backyard, and let others bully us."

In the distance, the cries of night owls echoed in the silent night sky, so shrill that it made people tremble.
