The banquet ended, and the guests gradually dispersed. The noisy Jin Mansion gradually returned to peace. Jin Guangshan was about to return to his room to rest, but as he passed by the courtyard, he caught a glimpse of a strange figure following Wei Changze and his group.

Jin Guangshan frowned, stopped, and asked, "Who is that person? Why is he following Wei Changze and the others?"

Wei Changze and others also stopped. Meng Yao walked out of the team, lowered his head, and unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes with his hands.

Jin Guangshan walked forward and carefully examined Meng Yao's face, with a vague suspicion in his mind. He asked hesitantly, "You...you are?"

Meng Yao raised her head, her eyes filled with mixed emotions, and replied with a slightly trembling voice, "I am Meng Yao."

Jin Guangshan was startled, a trace of surprise flashing across his face. He had never expected that this illegitimate son, whom he had deliberately forgotten, would appear in such an occasion.

But he still wanted to confirm again, "What's your mother's name?"

This time, Meng Yao answered calmly, "Meng Shi!"

Jin Guangshan was torn. If he acknowledged Meng Yao, he would surely face criticism and trouble within the family. But if he didn't, she was his own child after all, and word of it would damage his reputation.

Jin Guangshan's eyes wandered, sometimes looking at Meng Yao, sometimes looking elsewhere. He hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed heavily.

Meng Yao stared at Jin Guangshan, taking in his hesitation and struggle. In that instant, the last shred of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

"I am not here today to ask you to recognize me, but only because I am the eldest disciple of the Wei family." Meng Yao's voice was so calm that it was heartbreaking, but only he knew the pain and despair in his heart.

Jin Guangshan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Meng Yao smiled bitterly and continued, "You don't have to be embarrassed. From today on, I, Meng Yao, have nothing to do with you anymore, and you are no longer my father."

After saying that, Meng Yao turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Jin Guangshan shouted subconsciously.

Meng Yao stopped but didn't look back.

Jin Guangshan stepped forward, as if trying to persuade him to stay, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into: "You... take care of yourself."

Meng Yao's body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, took a decisive step, and left the Jin Mansion.

Wei Changze and others witnessed all this and felt sympathy for Meng Yao. They also followed Meng Yao.

Wei WuXian said angrily, "Jin GuangShan is so heartless! How could he do this?"

Wei Changze looked at Meng Yao who was walking in front of him, thoughtful.

Back at his residence, Wei Wuxian was still angry about what happened to Meng Yao.

“Dad, that Jin Guangshan is simply not a human being.” Wei Wuxian said.

Wei Changze was silent for a moment, then said, "The twists and turns in this matter may not be as simple as we see."

"What's so complicated about it? He doesn't even recognize his own child, yet he's so affectionate to everyone else." Wei Wuxian muttered.

Elsewhere, Meng Yao sat alone on the bed, tears finally streaming down his face. He vowed to himself that he would become strong and make Jin Guangshan regret his decision today.

A few days later, the story of Meng Yao and Jin Guangshan began to spread among the hundreds of immortal families.

When Mrs. Jin learned about this, she had a big fight with Jin Guangshan. "Jin Guangshan, I've told you before that I have no control over what you do outside. But you let that bastard outside appear in front of me. You are just annoying me. I will never let you go!"

Jin Guangshan knew that without Madam's family power, he would not be able to sit on the position of the clan leader, so he had to appease her, "Madam, I will not let him enter the Jin family, nor will I let him become a stumbling block for our Zixuan."

Mrs. Jin's anger dissipated a little when he heard this. "Anyway, you must handle this matter for me. If I find out that you still want this bastard to marry into the Jin family, you will no longer be the clan leader. You'd better remember that the Jin family will only belong to Zixuan in the end."

Jin Guangshan clenched his fists, calmed himself down, and then said, "Madam, don't worry, no one can stop Zixuan. Okay, Madam, you can rest first, I still have things to deal with!" Then he turned and left.

In the days that followed, Meng Yao practiced even harder, enduring countless hardships. He knew only strength could free him from his predicament. He practiced day and night, each breakthrough bringing him closer to his goal.

However, Meng Yao did not become complacent because of this. He knew that the road ahead was still long and he had to constantly improve himself in order to surpass Jin Zixuan and not bring shame to the Wei family.
