Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Thinking back to those days, Zong Zhengyi felt a bitterness in his heart. "Don't worry, since Xie Feng is my son, I will definitely rescue him and kill that bastard Lin Yuansheng."

"It's all because of me. If I hadn't raised a tiger to harm myself, Feng'er wouldn't have been harmed by that villain. It's all because I failed to protect him..." Xie Wanying's eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of light mist, and her heart was deeply immersed in the pain of regret.

Seeing her like this, Zong Zhengyi felt very uncomfortable. "It's all my fault. If I had cared more about you back then, things might not have turned out like this."

"No! It's all my fault. It's all because of me. I took a wrong step and this is the result." Xie Wanying recalled the past, which hurt her heart.

"Wanying, please don't be like this..." Seeing her in so much pain, Zong Zhengyi blamed himself even more. "It's all my fault for walking away all those years ago. If I had known you were pregnant with my child, I would never have let you marry that beast."

Hearing his words, Xie Wanying turned around and looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face. Those long-forgotten past events resurfaced before her eyes, "Zong Zhengyi, I was wrong back then. I thought that was our best choice..."

If she knew that he would break with the entire family and flee to Linggun Mountain because of her, she would do it regardless of the consequences.

"No, I'm the one who's wrong. As a man, I didn't take responsibility for what I did, so you have to bear this alone." Zong Zhengyi couldn't help but want to hug her frail body, but he retracted his outstretched hand.

"But it's too late. I just want to save Feng'er..." Xie Wanying has been having nightmares these days, always dreaming of her son being tortured by Lin Yuansheng.

"I'll find a way to save him. Don't be too sad." Zong Zhengyi saw that she was getting emotional and knew that he couldn't say any more. "You rest first. The Sect Master and I will find a way to save him."

After he finished speaking, he looked at her again, with some reluctance in his eyes, but he turned and left in the end.

After Xie Jinglan went out, she went to Beitang Yuan's room, but after sitting for a while, she saw Zong Zhengyi leave.

He didn't look very good when he came out. Could it be that the two of them talked about something unpleasant?

She was worried about her grandmother and went back to their room.

Seeing Xie Wanying still sitting there, his eyes became even redder.

"Grandma!" Xie Jinglan took her hand and comforted her, "There's nothing in this world that can't be overcome. Don't worry too much! I've already read my father's fortune. Although he's facing a great disaster, he's not destined to die."

Her words were not just to comfort her grandmother.

When she heard that her father might still be alive, she had a fortune told for him, but she couldn't find his horoscope, so she wasn't sure whether he was still alive.

But on that day, after Lin Yuansheng brought his father out, his fate star was revealed.

It turned out that someone had used magic to deliberately hide his life star, making people think that he was dead.

And the person who can do this is most likely related to the Kunlun Sect.

After hearing her words, Xie Wanying's eyes lit up a little, "Lan'er, is it true?"

"It's true." Xie Jinglan nodded at her with certainty. "Grandmother, no matter what happened between you and the Second Elder in the past, so many years have passed. You should make it clear what you need to say. Life is short, don't leave yourself with any regrets."

She felt that her grandmother's biggest concern was probably the Second Elder. If that concern was resolved, her grandmother wouldn't feel so bad.

You've lived to this age, what else is there to worry about?

"Lan'er, you..." Xie Wanying looked at her granddaughter and felt that she was more mature and sensible than ordinary people. She didn't look like a little girl in her teens at all.

"Actually, I also want to know, what happened to you back then? How did you and the Second Elder miss each other? Can you tell me about it?" Xie Jinglan asked.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Xie Wanying slowly told the story of what happened with Zong Zhengyi back then.

"Back then, Zong Zhengyi was the only legitimate son of the Zong Zheng family. The family focused on training him. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the next head of the Zong Zheng family.

As for our Xie family, your great-grandfather has only one daughter, me, without any brothers or sisters, and I am destined to shoulder the responsibility of the Xie family.

But fate is so cruel that both he and I fell in love with people we shouldn't have. I am the only daughter of the Xie family. Your great-grandfather hopes that I will marry into the family so that I can take on the responsibility of the Xie family. This is a responsibility I cannot escape.

But Zong Zhengyi is the heir trained by the Zong Zheng family, and it is impossible for the Zong Zheng family to allow him to marry into our Xie family.

When this marriage was first proposed, it was strongly opposed by the elders of both families.

Because we are both big families, and most of our relationships with the court and industries are involved, our Xie family and the Zong Zheng family have never been very harmonious, so this marriage cannot be discussed at all.

Zong Zhengyi didn't want to give up on me, and he had a big fight with his family, saying that he would not marry anyone else but me.

At that time, the head of the Zong Zheng family and his wife were very angry. They came to our Xie family and said that I had deliberately seduced their son. They said very unpleasant things. Your great-grandfather was so angry that he completely fell out with the Zong Zheng couple.

Later, your great-grandfather took the initiative to find Lin Yuansheng as my son-in-law, saying that he came from a poor family, had good character and all aspects, and would definitely be reliable in the future.

I was heartbroken at the time, and then I found out I was pregnant. If your great-grandfather knew about the child, he would never let me give birth to him.

I didn't want to lose this child, so I agreed to marry Lin Yuansheng. I just didn't expect that my marriage was such a big blow to Zong Zhengyi that he actually left home after leaving a letter.

He left for five years without any news. When we heard from him again, he had become a disciple of Xuan Ji Sect.

The Zongzheng family also went looking for him, hoping that he would come back to inherit the family business, but he refused to see anyone and remained in seclusion for a whole year. His father was so angry that he fell ill..."

Xie Jinglan was shocked after hearing this. She never expected that Zong Zhengyi was so devoted to her grandmother back then that he even disobeyed his own parents for her and went against the entire family. In the end, her grandmother married someone else and even abandoned the entire family to go to Linggun Mountain to be a disciple?

It's such a pity that two lovers are separated just because of the ties between their two families.

If the Xie family had more than just my grandmother as an only daughter, she could have run away with him and had a happy marriage, but fate ultimately played tricks on her.

Zong Zhengyi did not become the heir of the Zong Zheng family in the end. He joined the sect in Linggun Mountain and devoted himself to cultivation. He has been alone ever since.

After my grandmother married Lin Yuansheng, they were only husband and wife in name only, just to maintain the superficial peace in the family.
