Sun and Moon Shining Together / Madam Si, Why Did You Have to Come Wreak Havoc on the Ji Clan?

"Boo-hoo, waaah-!"

Outside Madam Si's immortal residence, bouts of sobbing so fake they could not possibly have sounded any faker rang out from time to time, each louder than the last, as though they would never end.

"Mother! They... they bullied me... They said I was lowborn, surrounded me and took turns humiliating me, and even said they would drive me out of the Ji Clan..."

Pitiful, aggrieved, weak, and helpless-he looked as though he had suffered the greatest injustice under heaven.

For all his sniffling and sobbing, he gave an exceptionally coherent account of those old Ji Clan fossils' ugly behavior, complete with claims, evidence, and arguments.

Toward the end of his crying, Yun Qing secretly glanced up. Yun Si was reclining on a couch, idly leafing through a bound volume of "Rhapsody on the Luo Goddess," seemingly unmoved.

Yun Qing simply abandoned all restraint, plopped down on the floor, and started wailing again.

This time, his cries sounded utterly heart-rending, as though this cruel world would grind him to pieces in the very next moment.

Despite his piercing cries, Yun Qing rarely felt this relaxed and happy. Lady Sovereign Yun Si was like a towering tree, sheltering him beneath her shade in this cruel world with her unquestionable strength.

Yun Si finally finished appreciating the poetry collection in her hands. Her noble phoenix eyes lowered, her expression cool, and she patted the child's fluffy head without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Then she grabbed Yun Qing, who was still pretending to cry at her feet, and headed outside.

"Huh?" Yun Qing exclaimed. How had he suddenly started flying?

Crash-!!

The heavy wooden doors of the Long-Life Ji Clan's ancient Ancestral Shrine were kicked open with a thunderous crash!

The deafening impact sent dust flying throughout the hall.
