The second floor of Fengxian Pavilion.

The shopkeeper was waiting on the side, smiling at the distinguished guests, "City Lord Ye, Miss Lin, I have asked the kitchen to prepare delicious cakes and premium wine. Shall we serve them now?"

Ye Zhi hummed and said, "You don't have to wait here, go down."

Shopkeeper Wei said three times, "Okay, okay, enjoy your meal."

Soon, the waiter brought the wine, drinks and pastries.

Ye Zhi's eyes were soft as he looked at the osmanthus cake on the table. He seemed to recall something and said softly:

"When your mother was pregnant with you, she loved sweets, especially osmanthus cakes. She would eat several pieces every time. At that time, I thought you must be a little girl who likes sweets."

Su Yu, who was standing aside, was stunned.

He glanced at the man who had spoken.

My sister’s mother?

How did he know that his sister's mother liked sweets?

Su Yu's eyes trembled.

Could this person be my sister's...?

He had never heard his sister talk about her family. He only knew that his sister grew up in Taohuamen, alone, and had never mentioned her family.

This man looked noble, perhaps the city lord. Even he couldn't see through his cultivation level, so he must be above him.

Since he was my sister's relative, why did he never look for her? He let my sister grow up alone and suffer bullying.

Su Yu snorted coldly.

So what if they are relatives? He is the one who is guarding his sister now.

Seeing Lin Qingzhi's cold expression, Ye Zhi pushed the osmanthus cake in front of him towards Lin Qingzhi.

"Qingzhi, the osmanthus cake of Fengxian Pavilion is a must-try. Try it and see if you like it."

Lin Qingzhi glanced at the osmanthus cake and quickly looked away.

She pursed her lips and said lightly:

"No, I don't like these."

The smile on Ye Zhi's lips froze, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, Qingzhi has grown up, it's normal for him not to like sweets."

He pushed the osmanthus cake in front of Lin Qingzhi aside and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Qingzhi, what do you like to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to make it."

Lin Qingzhi lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "City Lord Ye, don't bother with it. You and I are just strangers."

After that, Lin Qingzhi stood up and said to Su Yu beside him: "Junior brother, let's go."

Ye Zhi stood up hurriedly, his voice full of grief.

"Qingzhi, what do you want to do to forgive your father?"

Lin Qingzhi, who had already walked to the door, stopped and spoke in a resolute tone.

"My last name is Lin, and my given name is Qingzhi. This is the name my master gave me. It has always been like this, and it will remain like this in the future."

After saying that, Lin Qingzhi walked away without looking back.

Having lived two lives, she has already seen through everything.

The people she cares about are all around her, and the rest are just strangers.

Today's ascension competition will begin in less than half an hour.

Lin Qingzhi took Su Yu and walked towards the competition arena.

Speechless all the way.

Lin Qingzhi turned his head and glanced at the quiet junior brother beside him.

"Little Junior Brother, do you have anything to say?"

Su Yu stared at Lin Qingzhi quietly, and finally shook his head.

Lin Qingzhi smiled faintly.

"The man's surname was Ye, and he was the mayor of Biging City. Yesterday, he suddenly found me and said that he was my father."

"I was very surprised at first. How could such a big shot be my father, Lin Qingzhi?"

Su Yu was a good listener and listened quietly.

Lin Qingzhi: "But on second thought, there is no need for such a well-connected person to lie to me. So the man in front of me is really my father."

"For some reason, I suddenly thought of those two people. One is innocent and simple, just like the most beautiful jasmine flower in the world, and the other is a genius from an aristocratic family. She has been the object of everyone's envy since birth. People like them are worthy of being the children of the great man in front of us."

"And I am like a weed, growing in the mountains and fields, experiencing wind, frost, rain, snow, extreme cold and heat, growing wildly, destined to never become a flower praised by everyone."

"We are from two different worlds. There is no need to force ourselves to merge together."

Su Yu looked at Lin Qingzhi with heartache.

From my sister's words, I can tell that she doesn't hate that man.

Instead, my sister felt that she was not worthy of being that man's daughter.

A child who has been getting wet in the rain suddenly gets an umbrella. Instead of being happy, he feels scared and confused.

Does she deserve this umbrella?

Su Yu stretched out his hand and hugged the person in front of him tightly.

He leaned close to his sister's ear and said gently, "Sister, you have me. I will always stay by your side, be your umbrella to protect you from the rain, be the sword in your hand, and be your knife to kill people."

A stream of heat slid down from the corner of his eyes.

Lin Qingzhi buried his head in his junior brother's chest.

Her voice was buzzing and she hummed softly.

Half an hour later.

Ascension Martial Arts Examination Field.

Mu Chunhua excitedly waved her hands: "Senior Sister, Senior Sister Lin, this way, this way."

Today's martial arts test is even more challenging than yesterday's.

They arrived early and got a seat.

Mu Chunhua looked in the direction of Lin Qingzhi and saw a familiar person following her senior sister. The smile on her face turned into surprise.

It’s my junior brother.

He's finally back.

Now my senior sister doesn’t have to go there anymore. She often goes to the bamboo courtyard to sit for a while, as she misses him when she sees the things there.

The two of them came up.

Mu Chunhua patted Su Yu's shoulder heavily.

"Good boy, you are finally back."

"Where have you been all these years?"
