Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Inside a mountain within the Liu family's residence, a woman was earnestly advising a young lady: "Miss, you haven't been able to let go of the past few years, but the Zhang family has never given up. If they find out that you have formed a Daoist partnership with someone else and even have a child, the Zhang family will definitely come to make inquiries. We won't be able to hide this for much longer."

The young lady took a deep breath and said, "This can't be blamed on me. Did the family ask me when they arranged the marriage with the Zhang family? Was I even present at the time? Sigh! Let's not talk about this for now. How is Meng'er doing?"

"She's safe for now. Sigh! But things can't continue like this, it's unfair to the child," the woman sighed.

"I will have her leave this place. Aunt Lan, please take her to find her father. I'll have to trouble you from now on." The speaker was none other than Liu Xingyao. The reason they left the Ye family back then was because of this matter. While she was away from the clan, the family chose her for a marriage alliance with the Zhang family. She was the most talented of the younger generation and also the most beautiful. To win over the Zhang family, the clan agreed to the marriage without her consent.

Over the years, she used the excuse that she was still young and had no intention of discussing marriage for the time being, and that she would complete the marriage after her cultivation reached the Transformation God Realm.

With her talent, even if she didn't cultivate much, she reached the Transformation God Realm a month ago. The day before yesterday, she used the excuse of consolidating her cultivation to continue delaying, so she didn't have much time left.

Aunt Lan watched Liu Xingyao begin to drift off again, her gaze blankly staring outside the cave dwelling. She could only sigh and turn to leave. At that moment, Liu Xingyao murmured, "Tianchen, I wonder how you are doing now. Do you hate me? In this life, we have no chance to be together forever; in the next life, I wish to be a pair of lovebirds."

A few days later, Aunt Lan arrived at a city on the outskirts of the Liu family's residence, named Fanyang City. She went straight to a mansion in the east of the city. The head of this family, surnamed Du, had previously received a favor from Aunt Lan and obeyed her every command. Liu Xingyao entrusted her daughter to Aunt Lan to be fostered in the Du family. As soon as Aunt Lan entered the mansion, the butler greeted her with a smile. It seemed she came here often, and this visit had been arranged in advance. The butler raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master Lan."

Aunt Lan waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. The butler then said, "Master Lan, please come inside. The head of the family has been waiting for a long time."

Arriving at the main hall, the Du family head personally came out to greet her, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Lan, please take a seat." Aunt Lan hummed in acknowledgment, walked to the main seat, and sat down. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Bring Xiaomeng here, I have something to discuss with her."

The Du family head gave the butler a look, and the butler immediately turned and left. A quarter of an hour later, the butler led in a young and beautiful girl, dressed in plain clothes, looking pitiful. Her eyes revealed a kind of wariness. Aunt Lan felt a pang in her heart as she looked at her. She had watched this child grow up since she was little, but she didn't have the joy that a normal child should have. Aunt Lan spoke, "All of you, leave, and let Xiaomeng stay here alone." The Du family head and the others cupped their hands and left.

Aunt Lan waved her hand and set up a soundproof barrier, then looked at the girl and said, "Come, Xiaomeng, sit here," she pointed to the seat next to her. She walked over meekly and sat down cautiously.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan smiled and said, "You've developed a habit of being cautious and careful in front of outsiders. You can be generous and natural with me, there's no need to be so restrained. It's been twenty years since I entrusted you to the Du family. These twenty years have been neither good nor bad. You've grown up, do you want to know who your parents are?"

The sudden words startled Xiaomeng. This was a question she had asked the old senior countless times, but each time she was rejected, and she was told not to ask too much, to be careful with her words, saying that the time was not yet right. This time, she suddenly brought it up, so she must be planning to tell her.

"Senior Lan, are you willing to tell me this time? I hope Senior will tell me. Since I was little, I have always been ridiculed by others as a wild child without parents. Who are my parents? Why don't they want me? Did Xiaomeng make them angry?"

Aunt Lan slowly shook her head, "The matter is a long story. Your parents both have their own difficulties. For your sake, to let you live, your mother had no choice but to do so. Your mother's name is Liu Xingyao, the most talented woman in the Liu family twenty years ago, a strong contender for the Liu family's Holy Maiden. During a trip outside, she met a man from a small family on the frontier. They met, knew each other, and fell in love. Without her knowledge, the family signed a marriage contract between her and the Zhang family. We only discovered that your mother was pregnant after we returned, and that's how you came to be."

"Then what about my father, doesn't he know?" Xiaomeng continued to ask.

"That's what I'm here to tell you. Your surname is actually Ye, not Du. Your full name is Ye Qimeng, which was given to you by your mother. The character 'Qi' is from the Ye family's generation, and the meaning of 'Meng' is that you and your father live in her dreams, and you can only meet when you fall asleep. Your father's name is Ye Tianchen, he is only in a small family on the eastern frontier. When we left, there wasn't even a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator in the family. I think that after more than twenty years, there won't be much progress. Your father doesn't know about you. This time I'm here to prepare you mentally. In a month, I'll take you to find your father. Are you willing?"

"Father, he doesn't even know about me, will he accept me?" Ye Qimeng asked softly.

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "I think that Ye Tianchen is not an ungrateful person. As long as you are willing, he will definitely accept you."

"Of course I'm willing, please take me there, Senior." A rare smile appeared on Ye Qimeng's face. This was a smile from the heart. She could finally see her family. She was no longer a wild child in the mouths of others.

"That's good, I'll come back in a month." After saying that, Aunt Lan removed the soundproof barrier and left the Du family.

She returned to Liu Xingyao's cave dwelling and said to Liu Xingyao, "Miss, I have already spoken to Xiaomeng, and she will leave in a month."

Liu Xingyao murmured, "A month, the Zhang family will be here in a month. The family head has already sent me a voice transmission today, telling me to be prepared!"

Aunt Lan asked worriedly, "Then what are you planning to do, Miss?"

Liu Xingyao said decisively, "When I get to the Zhang family, I will sever my own meridians. Sometimes I think it would be good to end it like this, it would be an explanation to everyone."

Aunt Lan didn't know how to comfort Liu Xingyao and could only sigh beside her.

A month later, on the Ye family's flying boat, Mu Yuan looked up at the distance, turned sideways, cupped his hands and said, "Elder, the Palace Master will arrive at the Danyun Mountain Range, the Liu family's residence, in half a day. I don't know how we should contact the Liu family."

The Third Elder said, "We are here to propose marriage this time, so we must value harmony."

"The super families in Central Continent all have high ambitions, I don't think it will be easy to talk to them," Mu Yuan continued to say.

"If it's not easy to talk, then we'll beat them into submission before talking." The speaker this time was Ye Tianchen, his eyes sharp, already shedding his previous drunken intent.
