Ye Wudao grew more and more confused as he listened. According to Li Yanhua, Ye Zhenshan wasn't his biological father, and he and Ye Mingyuan were cousins?
He looked at Li Yanhua and asked in a low voice, "The more I hear, the more confused I get. Explain it in detail!"
Li Yanhua gathered her thoughts and said, "Eighteen years ago, when I was twenty, something major happened in Sea City—the Rift fell!"
Ye Wudao raised a hand to interrupt Li Yanhua, then looked at Li Huai and asked, "Did that really happen?"
Li Huai nodded. "That's right. The Sea City Rift really did fall that year. A lot of people died."
"In the end, it was only because several of the Demon Slayer Guard's founders joined forces that the Rift World was held!"
With Li Huai's confirmation, Ye Wudao turned to Li Yanhua. "Go on!"
Li Yanhua pressed her lips together and said, "A lot of people came to support the Rift World that year."
"Among them were my first love, your biological father, and your mother!"
"Didn't you ever notice? Your mother had an extraordinary bearing. An ordinary person could never have had that kind of grace!"
"Actually, your mother was from the Wu Family in Capital City!"
"The Wu Family of Capital City had a powerful expert at Grandmaster Realm Entry. They were considered a top family."
Li Yanhua's words drew Ye Wudao's thoughts back to when he was five.
He remembered his mother stroking his head that year and saying, "Wudao, when you grow up, Mom will take you to Capital City for a visit, okay?"
He had been very young then and hadn't thought much of his mother's abrupt remark.
Now that he thought about it, she'd meant to take him to the Wu Family
