Hearing this, the man raised his head, looked up at the roof, and muttered to himself: "Who am I? Oh... Yes! Even I am almost forgetting who I am..."

He was silent for a while, as if recalling something, and then he said:

My name is Zizhu Yingchen, and I grew up in a happy family.

Our Zizhu family has been consistently protecting the land of Lan Country and the people of the world since a hundred years ago.

In terms of merit, it can be said that compared with the current Guo Junlan family, it can be said that it is even better.

My grandfather was a renowned founding hero who had made great contributions to the country.

My father and uncle were also famous generals who fought bravely on the battlefield to defend our country.

My mother is gentle, virtuous and kind to others. I also have a lively and lovely younger sister named Zizhu Yingxue.

Once upon a time, our family lived happily and carefree.

However, things never go as planned. Just 20 years ago, an unexpected event shattered this tranquility.

It's just because our Zizhu family's reputation is growing and we are deeply loved by the people, its prestige has even surpassed that of the Lan family.

This made the Lan family feel wary and worried that their status would be threatened.

So, the Lan family fabricated charges and falsely accused my grandfather, father, and uncle of treason and collaborating with the enemy.

Overnight, our Zizhu family suffered a devastating disaster.

Thousands of people were killed and massacred in just a few days.

One of my father's loyal guards risked his life to protect us and took me, my sister and my cousin Zizhu Yingmo into the cellar, so we barely escaped the massacre.

But how could those cruel and ruthless people give up so easily?

When they found the number of people was wrong while counting the bodies, they immediately guessed that someone had escaped, and launched a more frantic pursuit.

The loyal guard took us all the way and finally found the regent, who was as powerful as the monarch at that time.

When the regent learned the truth, he was extremely angry and immediately rushed to the palace and started a heated argument with the king.

Afterwards, the three of us were taken in by the regent's daughter, who was also the prince's concubine at the time.

We thought we could live a peaceful life from now on, but we didn't expect that even so, those who wanted to kill us would still not let us go.

Our sinister and cunning monarch actually ordered the prince to secretly try to kill us all and wipe us out completely!

After the prince returned with the order, he immediately discussed with his wife how to carry out this task.

Their conspiracy was accidentally overheard by the concubine.

The kind concubine knew that we were in danger, so she pretended to take us out for a trip, but in fact she was planning to help us escape.

After some careful arrangements, she successfully brought us to a remote farmer's home.

But who could have expected that not long after, the pursuers arranged by the prince came to chase and kill them.

Faced with the fierce enemy, the concubine stepped forward without hesitation and tried to protect us.

But she is just a weak woman after all, with several young children by her side. How can she resist these well-trained killers?

Although she fought with all her might, she was ultimately outnumbered and fell in a pool of blood.

At the last moment of her life, the concubine was still concerned about our safety. She used up her last bit of strength to order the maid around her to take us and escape without stopping.

Yingmo and I looked at the horrific scene in front of us and felt extremely sad.

In order to give Yingxue a chance to survive, we decided to let the maid take Yingxue away first, and we would lead away the guards who were chasing her relentlessly.

Just like that, Yingmo and I ran as fast as we could, and the guards behind us were like a group of hungry wolves that wouldn't let go.

Finally we were pushed to the brink.

At this time, with no way forward and pursuers behind them, the two children, who were only 7 or 8 years old, looked at each other with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Then, they jumped together into the bottomless, terrifying abyss...

When I woke up again, I found that Yingmo was no longer beside me.

I kept looking for Yingmo under the cliff, but found nothing.

Finally, I came to the capital of Lan Kingdom and looked for Yingmo and Yingxue everywhere, but the news I got was only disappointing.

During my search, I unexpectedly heard shocking news: the Regent's daughter was harboring rebellious intentions! This news shocked the court and the public, and not long after, the Regent's entire family was tragically exterminated.

I knew that the Regent was implicated by us, but I was young and helpless at the time. I could only continue to look for Yingxue and Yingmo in every possible place.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any trace of them.

As time went by, hope gradually became slimmer and my heart became heavier.

Finally, after countless disappointments, I had to tell myself painfully that maybe they were really no longer in this world.

Thinking of this, I feel a little better. At least, if they really leave this world, they may be able to reunite with their families in another world.

Zizhu Yingchen slowly narrated the past and lowered her head deeply, fearing that others would see the tears in her eyes.

Feng Qingyue, who was standing by, listened quietly, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pity for the man in front of her.

She never imagined that she had an uncle, and that his experience was so bumpy and eventful.

Jun Lingyuan looked at Yingchen silently, and then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had no clue when investigating many related information before. It turned out that there was such an unknown past hidden behind it.

Ali stood quietly beside Yingchen. Although she had long realized that Yingchen had an unusual story, she never expected the plot to be so tortuous and bizarre.

At this point, she finally understood why Yingchen had been forcing himself to grow and become stronger over the years - it was because the enemies he faced were extremely powerful.

Just as everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, Feng Qingyue suddenly broke the silence and said softly, "So... you are my uncle."

Suddenly, a clear and anxious cry came into Zizhu Yingchen's ears.

He suddenly raised his head and looked straight in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Feng Qingyue looking at him with concern.

At this moment, Zizhu Yingchen's eyes were still red, as if he had just experienced great sadness or anger.

"Yes, you and Yingxue really do look alike..." Zizhu Yingchen muttered to herself, her thoughts drifting back to the distant past. "When she was little, her mother often stroked her head and said, 'Yingxue will definitely be very beautiful when she grows up...'"

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly and said softly, "Really? But I don't have any memory of my mother at all..."

At this moment, Zizhu Yingchen stepped towards Feng Qingyue again.

However, Jun Lingyuan, who had been guarding Feng Qingyue, stood up without hesitation when he saw this. His tall body stood between the two of them like an indestructible wall.

Zizhu Yingchen stopped and stared quietly at Jun Lingyuan in front of him, then turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue, with a hint of doubt and inquiry in his eyes.

Then, he gently waved his arm, and an invisible force suddenly surged out.

Jun Lingyuan only felt a powerful push and involuntarily took a step back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zizhu Yingchen quickly reached out and grabbed Feng Qingyue, pulling her behind him.

At the same time, he stared at Jun Lingyuan coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
