Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 75 - Misty Love Story

Yun Ci said further, "Xian'er's parents had unfortunately passed away when she was one-year-old, and I've decided to take her as my daughter. The village head fears that she would have a knot when she grows up. He changed Xian'er's surname to mine instead and prevent everyone from mentioning her parents again so that she could think I am her biological mother."

"But Xian'er later heard people talking about the incident back then, and she came to me. I think it's unfair to her parents, and she deserves to know the truth. So I told her everything and prepared for the worst. However, who would've thought Xian'er is so sensible and understand worldly matters very well." Yun Ci smiled and gave Yun Xian a kiss on her cheek, making the girl giggle adorably.

Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin looked at this mother-daughter pair with a smile. The scene had brought people warmth and chased away the cold.

Yun Qianxue nodded her head, "So that's how it is."

Yun Ci stopped playing with her daughter and looked at Yun Qianxue, waiting for her explanation.

This time, Yun Qianxue didn't delay it further. She narrated, "Around thirty years ago, your mother, Senior Sister Xilou, was a top talented disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. She was praised often by the Grand Sect Master, and everyone viewed her as the future sect master."

"It was until one day, she went out to do a mission and happened to meet your father, Mu Weizhi. At that time, your father had a fatal wound on his body and was on the verge of dying. Senior Sister Xilou helped him out of kindness and stayed to protect him until he recovered."

"Later, both of them had journeyed together and somehow fell in love with each other. I don't know the detail during this period, but when Senior Sister Xilou returned to the sect, she immediately went to find Grand Sect Master and requested to leave the sect. She wanted to marry your father."

Yun Ci was shocked upon hearing this. She didn't expect her mother to be a profound practitioner and a talented one on top of it. Several questions appeared in her mind. She didn't understand why her mother didn't teach her how to practice and always told her to live an ordinary life. 

Yun Qianxue continued, "Although the Misty Cloud Sect didn't forbid disciple to fall in love, it doesn't mean we will let the matter go as though nothing happened. Grand Sect Master didn't give her permission because she thought Senior Sister Xilou was confused at the moment and hadn't thought it through yet."

"Since then, Grand Sect Master had forbidden Senior Sister Xilou from stepping out of the sect. When everyone thought Senior Sister Xilou has completely forgotten Mu Weizhi, he suddenly appeared and barged into the sect with all his might. He demanded us to let Senior Sister Xilou leave the sect."

"Even though Mu Weizhi was strong, he still wasn't the sect elder's opponent and got beaten until he couldn't move. When Senior Sister Xilou knew this, she came out protecting him and tried to use her life in exchange for Mu Weizhi's life."

"Of course, Grand Sect Master wasn't an unreasonable person. She could see the feelings between them were genuine and decide to let them leave, but they have to leave the Heavenly Fortune Nation in the condition. Since then, I never saw Senior Sister Xilou again." 

Yun Qianxue let out a long sigh and said, "Who would've thought she chooses to live nearby the border. It seems she still has a feeling for the sect."

Back then, Yun Qianxue admired Yun Xilou the most. It could be said Yun Xilou was her idol. And even though everyone deemed her a once-in-a-century talent, Yun Qianxue never thought she was better than Yun Xilou. 

When Yun Xilou left the sect, Yun Qianxue didn't understand why did she choose this way. Only when she met Yun Lintian did she understand Yun Xilou's decision back then. 

Everyone pursued profound strength and possessed a power that surpassed mortal, but they had forgotten they were still human. They would never be able to get rid of the thing called emotion — even a divine being might not be able to.

Yun Ci was fascinated by the story of her parents. Both of them had gone through a lot before they finally got together and gave birth to her as a symbol of love. Sadly, she didn't know where they were now.

Yun Qianxue saw Yun Ci's sad expression. She comforted, "Don't worry. With their strength, few people can harm them. There must be a reason behind this. We will help you find them."

Yun Ci raised her head to look at Yun Qianxue and gave her a bow, "Thank you, Senior."

Yun Qianxue waved her hand and said, "You're Senior Sister Xilou's daughter. That means you're also my niece. You can call me a… Well, better call me Elder Sister Qianxue."

Yun Huanxin was rendered speechless by Yun Qianxue's shamelessness. 

"Hehe… Ah! Sorry, Elder Sister Qianxue." Yun Ci burst into laughter first and realized she was a bit rude.

"Since you called me elder sister, I'll forgive you." Yun Qianxue was amused.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out, and Yun Huanxin quickly removed the isolation barrier. When the door opened, Yun Lintian walked into the room and looked at them in puzzlement as he saw they were in a good mood.

"Did I miss something?" Yun Lintian asked with a smile.

Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Ci and said, "I'll introduce you first. This is our current Sect Master, Yun Lintian." She then introduced Yun Ci to Yun Lintian.

After listening to Yun Qianxue's narration, Yun Lintian was amazed. "There's such a love story?"

As a man who lived on Earth where many people believing there was no true love in the world, encountering this kind of true love story by himself was quite novel. Yun Lintian had read many romantic plots in Xianxia novels before. The story between Yun Xilou and Mu Weizhi wasn't anything new, but he was genuinely admired them. 

Thinking of this, a memory of a particular figure appeared in Yun Lintian's mind… I wonder how she is now? Yun Lintian thought.

When Yun Qianxue saw his longing expression, she suddenly felt lost in her heart. She didn't know who that person was in his mind, but that person was definitely important to him… Perhaps he already has someone in his heart? She thought.
