Chapter 315: Unfinished Farewell
Yi Chi stared at his bitter and strange expression, and the words that City Lord Yao had said before flashed through his mind, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind.
"You...went to Yaocheng and reported your father."
Jian nodded numbly with a shy look on her face, "Master Sister Minghui."
"I reported him, and the entire Jian family went to jail, including me. Dad confessed."
"He was sentenced to death and was condemned by the masses, but people praised me for sacrificing my own family for the sake of justice."
"On the day he died, City Lord Yao came to find me and told me the whole truth with great pride. He also said that he promised my father not to kill me, which made my father willing to take all the blame."
"He came to kill me because he was afraid that I, a 'remnant', would discover his secret one day."
Yi Chi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then how were you saved?"
"I have rare phoenix blood in my body, which can resist a crash. That day, after I was stabbed in the heart and fell into a coma, a strange phenomenon in the sky attracted Master Bai who was working a case nearby. She rescued me from the cliff."
"Master Bai has been solving cases for many years. He saw the subtleties and informed Yueyao's superiors. City Lord Yao was punished."
Phoenix blood is a very magical bloodline, with both good and bad reputations. It is also known as the Phoenix Bloodline.
Possessing it means having a second life, but correspondingly, even if one has spiritual roots and talent for cultivation, they will not manifest unless one dies.
Therefore, many people who possess it are very conflicted. On the one hand, they are reluctant to give up that life, and on the other hand, they are afraid that after giving up that life, they really have no talent. Wouldn’t that be a waste?
From this perspective, Jane Xiurong is quite lucky... huh?
Yi Chi felt that something was wrong. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked Jian Xiurong two questions, "Before that, you had never known about phoenix blood?"
"I don't know."
"Does your father often urge you to report him like he did today?"
"……Yes."
After saying this word, Jian Xiurong's eyes froze, the color on his face suddenly drained away, and even his body swayed. He held on to the door before he could stand firm.
After a long silence, Yi Chi spoke out his deepest guess.
"You have been living under the surveillance of City Lord Yao for many years and there is no possibility of escaping."
"People with phoenix blood always have some abnormalities when they are born. Your father knew you had phoenix blood. He knew your character, so he deliberately provoked you to go to Yaocheng and report him."
"He has been conspiring with the city lord for many years. I know that with his ruthless and cruel character, he will definitely kill you and then attract those monks."
And why did he do all this?
"There is no turning back for him, but he wants to give you a clean name. He has done all kinds of evil things, but he reads you books on gentlemen and asks the best people to teach you the right path."
"As long as he dies because of your denunciation, you will win praise and be noticed by cultivators because of the Phoenix Blood. If you have the talent for cultivation, that's good. If not, you will expose City Lord Yao after you wake up."
"This is the way he has planned for you. It is open and honest, and clean."
When Yi Chi said this, he felt that everything was explained.
How can a lotus grow in mud?
Unless it is originally the mud that provides the most nourishment.
Jian's face turned pale with shame. She suddenly opened the door and rushed out like the wind, still heading towards Master Jian's study.
Yi Chi saw the tears falling as he turned around.
She saw through the twists and turns just by knowing the whole story.
So...during these years on the cliff, whenever she thought about the past, did Jian Xiurong really never doubt this?
I have doubted, but I dare not admit it, dare not think about it carefully, and dare not keep it in my heart.
Because of fear, because of fear, because it is unbearable.
Then... why did Jian Xiurong mention this matter in front of Yi Chi? He knew that Yi Chi had guessed it right.
In fact, it is very simple. He wants someone to force him to accept this tragic reality.
Yi Chi is that person.
Yi Chi sat alone on the roof. The sky suddenly brightened in the east, and the first ray of morning sun fell into her quiet eyes.
As he wishes.
In this memory, the unfinished farewell is completed.
