"This..."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's request, Jun Yi was slightly taken aback and fell silent for a moment. He was afraid that Qian Renxue would not be able to accept this cruel truth, because it seemed that Qian Renxue still respected and loved her father very much, otherwise she would not have kept the toy he gave her until now.
"What's wrong? Don't you know?" Qian Renxue asked, curious about Jun Yi's hesitant expression.
After thinking for a long time, Jun Yi came up with a compromise and said to Qian Renxue, " Sister Xue, let me tell you a story."
What story?
"This story might be a bit melodramatic, uh, quite dramatic," Jun Yi replied.
Tell me about it.
Jun Yi returned the wooden sword to Qian Renxue, instructing her to keep it safe. Then, he sat up straight and said earnestly, "The protagonist of this story is a Kindness girl who grew up in a village. When she was six years old, Awakening a very powerful Martial Soul and possessed great talent. As a result, she was valued by a powerful force, which took her back to their ranks and nurtured her with all their might. She was also accepted as a disciple by the force's most powerful figure, and thus, she lived a carefree life within the force."
"Until one day, she encountered someone in her faction who was extremely weak and lacked talent. Logically, such a person shouldn't be in her faction, which piqued her curiosity. After getting to know him, she discovered that although his strength was low, he had his own unique understanding and perspective on Martial Soul. After many exchanges, they fell in love with each other. Yes, they were in love."
"However, the girl's teacher learned of this. As his most beloved student, the teacher naturally disapproved of the girl being with someone whose abilities and talent were extremely poor, and rejected her on the spot. But the girl persisted, insisting that the person she deeply loved was her true love, and in the end..."
Jun Yi fell silent at this point. Seeing this, Qian Renxue smiled slightly and said, "In the end, the girl persuaded her master to allow her to be with that awful person, and the two became a couple, a beautiful story. Am I right? Please, such a story is too cliché; even storybooks don't write stories like that anymore."
Qian Renxue thought she had already guessed the ending of Jun Yi's story, and couldn't help but feel smug.
Ultimately, the teacher raped the girl and, to keep her in his faction, forced her to become pregnant. He then threatened her with the Life of the despicable man, demanding she break up with him. He threatened to kill the man if she told the truth. To save the man's life, she had no choice but to obey her teacher, knowing her innocence was ruined and she was no longer worthy of him. In the end, they separated, and the woman remained in that faction, tormented by daily suffering.
Qian Renxue clearly hadn't expected the story to unfold so absurdly. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. She hadn't done anything wrong; she just wanted to be with the person she loved, yet she ended up like this. However, she didn't believe the story would end like this, so she continued to press, "And then what? Did that lousy man have a miraculous encounter, defeat that Evil teacher, and rescue his lover?"
"No, that lousy man fell in love with another woman not long after leaving the organization, and that other woman is his own cousin."
"Pah, what a scumbag! How could he do this? Doesn't he know the girl is waiting for him to save her?"
Qian Renxue looked indignant, clearly caught up in the emotions, and asked, "What happened to that girl afterwards?"
"Later, after enduring immense humiliation and grief, the girl outwardly submitted completely, carrying her teacher's pregnancy for ten months and giving birth to a beautiful baby girl. However, shortly after birth, the baby was taken away by the beastly teacher's father, leaving the girl forever. This devastating blow nearly drove her mad, but she endured it, transforming all her bitterness and humiliation into the driving force for revenge. Finally, one day, she found a good opportunity. Her teacher returned severely injured from an outing, completely unsuspecting of the girl. In the end, the girl personally killed the sinner who had ruined her life's happiness."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's emotions clearly changed considerably. Her earlier anger had vanished, replaced by a hint of sadness. "And then?"
Later, the girl used her talent to become the ruler of the power, but she dared not face her daughter, because her daughter had inherited the beastly teacher's Martial Soul. Whenever she saw her, she would be reminded of what that beast had done to her. Therefore, she was unwilling to see her daughter, but she was also conflicted. She loved her daughter so much, yet she could not face her honestly. How cruel this was for a mother.
At this point, Qian Renxue's eyes were already red, tears streaming down her face. Her voice trembled slightly as she continued, "And then?"
"Later, she personally sent her daughter thousands of miles away to carry out a very dangerous mission, intending to kill her and completely sever this inappropriate familial bond. But she was conflicted; after all, her daughter was a piece of her own flesh and blood, carried for ten months, and she didn't want anything to happen to her, so she specially assigned people to protect her."
"I don't know what happened after that."
After speaking, Jun Yi turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was now deeply silent. After hearing that the girl had given birth to her teacher's child, she had roughly guessed who the protagonist of Jun Yi's story was. However, she still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Jun Yi was just telling a story. But when she heard that the girl had sent her daughter thousands of miles away to carry out a dangerous mission, she was certain that what Jun Yi was talking about was her parents' past.
She couldn't accept it. Her father was clearly a very gentle person, how could he do such a cruel thing? To do such a thing to her mother, she couldn't accept it for a while. She couldn't connect the Evil teacher in the story with her kind and gentle father. She just couldn't.
Seeing that Qian Renxue's eyes were slightly red, Jun Yi took out a white handkerchief and handed it to her, " Sister Xue, I was just telling you a story, don't take it seriously."
Qian Renxue took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turning her head away and refusing to look at Jun Yi...
