That's all for Chapter 92.
Seeing Shen Youqing's blank expression and her inability to recover for a long time, Yue Xunzhu looked at her with heartache and worry.

“Jinjin…” Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Youqing and didn’t know what to say. She could only say, “The Yue family will always be your family.”

Shen Youqing was pulled back to reality by the gentle and caring voice, and then murmured, "What should we do about Shen Quelin?"

Compared to himself, Shen Quelin is the young master of the Shen family. What will he do if his mother and father break off their Daoist relationship?
Seeing Shen Youqing worrying about Shen Quelin instead of herself, Yue Xunzhu couldn't help but sigh.

“He is also a descendant of the Yue family, and this will always be his home.” Yue Xunzhu raised her hand and gently patted Shen Youqing’s shoulder. “Jinjin, he is not as fragile as you think.”

Shen Youqing looked at Yue Xunzhu, who was gently comforting him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder Father didn't go to Qingyu Sect to deal with the Duanmu family's affairs personally; compared to that, this matter is more important now.

“These are matters for the elders, you… never mind, if you want to go, then go and see.” Yue Xunzhu said gently.

After he finished speaking, a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes, but he said gently with an unchanged expression, "Don't worry, I'll go and entertain the guests."

Shen Youqing nodded and strode out.

She really wanted to talk to her mother to find out what was going on and see how things had progressed.

After watching Shen Youqing leave, the gentle expression on Yue Xunzhu's face vanished instantly.

Without needing a maid to lead the way, Shen Youqing easily found his mother's courtyard.

As soon as I reached the courtyard gate, I heard some sounds of arguing coming from inside.

Shen Youqing stood slightly to the side outside the courtyard gate, listening calmly and indifferently to the conversation inside.

“It’s good that we’ve been through so many years. What is it that we can’t resolve and have to break up like this?” Shen Lin sat to the side, her voice tinged with weariness.

Looking at Yue Shihao's cold and indifferent face, Shen Lin understood her less and less.

He didn't know when it started, but it was as if there was a thin veil between him and Shi Hao.

Even if they shared a bed, they were dreaming different dreams; he could sense that Shi Hao was drifting further and further away from him.

Yue Shihao sat there, her figure slender, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with sorrow and grief, her long, thick eyelashes never fluttering, her gaze fixed on Shen Lin.

"Shihao, how did we end up getting separated?" he muttered to himself. "Everything was getting better, so why can't we keep going?"

Looking at the heartbroken yet bewildered man, Yue Shihao gave a self-deprecating smile and asked, "Do you know why Youqing doesn't like going back to the Shen family?"

Thinking of that rebellious son, Shen Lin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then answered, "Qiu Luo can't stand her, and they're always arguing."

At this point, Shen Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Why can't she, as the older sister, give in to Qiu Luo?"

Hearing this, Yue Shihao became even more disappointed.

If Shen Lin wants to favor Shen Qiuluo, fine, but why does he have to make Youqing suffer?

"Why should she?" Yue Shihao couldn't help but speak up. Thinking of her fierce and never-say-die daughter, her tone became sharper. "Why should Youqing give in to her! Who does Shen Qiuluo think she is! Does she deserve it!"

The usually aloof and elegant woman rarely lost her composure, but now she did so for the sake of her child.

Shen Lin looked at Yue Shihao, who had suddenly become sharp-tongued, opened her mouth but said nothing, only feeling bitterness in her heart.

"Is it because of Qing?" Shen Lin asked tentatively. "Is it because I didn't favor Qing?"

Looking at the man who cautiously asked the question, Yue Shihao's sorrow deepened.

"Do you remember what I looked like before?" Yue Shihao raised her hand and touched her cheek.

Her well-maintained face was without a single wrinkle, and she still looked young. But whenever she sat in front of the mirror and looked at the calm, expressionless eyes of the person in the mirror, she felt inexplicably tired.

That's not her, not the real Yue Shihao.

Shen Lin looked at Yue Shihao, whose eyes were cold and devoid of light, and then looked away somewhat embarrassedly.

Of course I remember.

The Shi Hao of the past wasn't this calm and aloof. She was crazy and domineering, and he got beaten up quite a bit back then. But later she stopped causing trouble, and she moved from the best courtyard to the one furthest from him.

"Your favoritism was just the last straw that broke the camel's back." Yue Shihao spoke slowly, her melodious voice low with weariness. "Shen Lin, loving you is really too tiring."

Shen Lin was somewhat dazed, a hint of helplessness appearing on his handsome face. After a long while, under Yue Shihao's calm and indifferent gaze, he hunched over, instantly aging many years.

When Yue Shihao sees a once spirited man grow old and forlorn, she still feels a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Shihao, do we really... have absolutely no chance?" Shen Lin's low voice was like the howl of a caged beast, filled with hopeful plea for help.

“No.” Yue Shihao answered without hesitation.

Shen Lin looked at Yue Shihao with a sorrowful and desperate gaze.

Is it really... going to fall apart?

Seeing Shen Lin's dejected and heartbroken appearance, Yue Shihao did not waver in her resolve. "Shen Lin, let's let each other go."

Shen Linxi moved her lips slightly, but the words that welled up in her throat were difficult to utter.

I want to persuade them to stay, but I don't know how to start.

"There are so many things standing between us, and you've never given me what I wanted." A deep weariness appeared on Yue Shihao's face. "Shen Lin, I'm tired. I'm so tired."

Shen Lin had no words to refute him. He lowered his head, trying to hide his reddened eyes.

"...If you really hate Que Lin and You Qing, then let them come to the Yue family." Yue Shihao looked at Shen Lin, hardened her heart and spoke coldly, "I will make up for the resources that the Shen family has poured into Que Lin."

She did not wrong Shen Lin, but she truly wronged Que Lin and You Qing.

Shen Lin looked up, her eyes red as if she was about to cry, "Shi Hao, how could you hurt me like that? They are my children too."

"I didn't see it," Yue Shihao's calm and indifferent voice rang out.

Mentioning the two children, Yue Shihao's face instantly turned even colder. "Shen Lin, you have never been a good father to those siblings!"

Disappointment and fatigue never accumulate all at once.

The switching of sects and the Five Elements Sect's favoritism towards Shen Qiuluo were merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She was too tired and too disappointed in Shen Lin.

"..." Shen Lin opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say in her defense stuck in her throat.

"Let's call it a day and part ways amicably." Yue Shihao turned her head slightly away from Shen Lin.

"……it is good."

……

Shen Lin got up and came out. When he reached the door, he bumped into Shen Youqing and stopped in his tracks.

Seeing Shen Lin's red-rimmed eyes and forlorn, weary appearance, Shen Youqing paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

Shen Lin restrained himself slightly, but the depression and grief that surrounded him still clung to him like maggots.

“Father,” Shen Youqing said, breaking the tense atmosphere.

He was very polite, just like before, and his respectful tone was full of distance.

Shen Lin waved his hand.

Looking at Shen Youqing's cold and emotionless face, Shen Lin didn't know what to do for a moment.

The father and daughter fell silent.
