"Whoop whoosh!"

Feng Gui sweated like rain and panted like an ox.

Even though she was a master in the Earth Martial Realm, she was so exhausted that she almost collapsed after trying her best to escape with Ye Xiao on her back and running to the top of the mountain in one breath.

If she hadn't thought that this was the chance of escape that her sister had fought so hard for, she would have been so angry that she would have just thrown herself on the ground and had a good sleep.

"Who broke into our country's official residence without permission?"

A clear voice suddenly sounded after Feng Gui passed through the confusion formation.

"Master, we are here, we are safe, wuwuwu... hulu... hulu..."

Feng Gui cried with joy, crying and laughing. Her energy relaxed, and she immediately collapsed to the ground, with tears still hanging on her face. She tilted her head and fell asleep, which showed how tired she was.

.

Ye Xiao glanced at Feng Gui lovingly, thinking that Feng Lai might have passed away at this moment, his heart ached in pain, and two lines of clear tears quietly slid down his cheeks.

If she hadn't been vengeful and daring, how could she have caused Feng Lai to lose her life? For the first time in her life, she felt deep regret for what she had done in the past.

"Who broke into our country's official residence without permission?"

The clear voice was already tinged with a hint of anger, and a young man full of murderous aura strode over with full vigilance.

"I...I am Ye Xiao from the Saint Clan, and I am here to ask to see Ye Qingxuan."

Ye Xiao bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with regret.

"Ye Xiao? Ah, are you Qu Kang'er?"

The young man frowned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"Qu Kang'er?"

Ye Xiao chewed his real name softly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After so many years, I had almost forgotten my real name. Unexpectedly, at this desperate moment, I would hear this familiar yet unfamiliar name again from the mouth of a man from this country.

The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved; the hatred of the ministers, when will it be extinguished?

"Your father is a great hero who served the country and the people. He named you Jing'er Kang'er because he wanted to take Jing Kang's shame as a lesson. People from China will never be slaves to the subjugation of the country. Although he cannot stay with us, he

But he always thinks about us, but he can't be so selfish. There are thousands of families like ours in China who need his protection..."

When their mother explained the meaning of their names in their ears when they were young, the pride and tenderness on their faces were still vivid in their minds as if it were yesterday.

At that time, the sisters were all proud to have such a heroic father. They raised their little heads proudly, imitated their mother's tone, and said to their friends in an old-fashioned way: "Without skin, there will be no hair."

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country."

He is very cultured and upright, which attracts the admiration and envy of his friends. The sisters also enjoy it. Even though they have no impression of that father, they are still proud that they have a father who is a great hero who saves the country and the people.

Worship and admire him as his lifelong idol.

But since when did all this change? Admiration turned into hatred, pride turned into hatred, pride turned into resentment...

It probably started when they watched their mother being humiliated to death by those hateful Fuso Japs. At that time, they were desperate and helpless, hoping that their faith-like father would fall from the sky like a scene on TV and bring those children to justice.

Kill all the damn Fuso Japs and save the gentle and kind-hearted mother from the fire and water.

Maybe the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Even before her death, her mother still told them silently in spoken words that she did not regret marrying her father because he was a real hero and a great hero.

But their mother's tragic death still made them

She resented her father, a hero who had never been masked, and buried a thorn in her heart that could not be removed.

She hates so much, hates those inhuman Fusang Japs, hates those folks who hide at home without even daring to show their heads, hates the unfair world, hates God's injustice, and even hates the man who was there when they needed him most.

But the father never showed up.

Countless nights, she woke up from the tragic scene of her mother's death. That scene followed her like a nightmare, accompanying her throughout her childhood. The more unforgettable it was, the more she hated it.

This hatred was buried deep in her heart and slowly fermented as time went by, gradually distorting her character and becoming cold, selfish, cruel and jealous.

Until she accidentally met Feng Lai and Feng Gui, a pair of poor sisters who relied on begging for a living. They were so similar to the helpless herself and her sister at the beginning. It deeply touched the softest place in her heart, even if the Feng Lai sisters'

Their qualifications were not very good, but she still insisted on adopting them despite the objections of her teachers.

After more than 20 years of getting along day and night, more than 20 years of hard work in raising them, and watching the two little ones grow up little by little and become the tall and graceful girls they are now, her heart was filled with rare warmth.

They are not mother and son, but they are better than mother and son.

In the hearts of the Fenglai sisters, she is their mother, and in her heart, they are not her daughters.

But now, her daughter has sacrificed herself for her mother, how can Ye Xiao not be heartbroken.

"Qu Kang'er, are you okay? Why are you crying? Are you injured?"

Seeing that Ye Xiao didn't speak for a long time, the young man shed two lines of clear tears, squatted down and asked nervously.

Ye Xiao finally came to his senses. Looking at the young man's unfailing concern, he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. He bit his pink lips and shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm fine."

It has to be said that Ye Xiao herself is still very beautiful, but it's just because of her heart. In the past, her heart was full of hostility, and she would unconsciously exude an uncomfortable and sinister atmosphere, which made people feel uncomfortable.

It's hard to feel good.

But at this moment, Feng Lai's "death" made her feel like she was enlightened. She was completely enlightened, and her heart was free of dirt, which made her beautiful eyes clear and clear. There were still crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

Her frail look instantly struck the young man's heart.

"Um...I...I'll go notify the Ninth Master Uncle."

The young man was heartbroken, his face turned red, his eyes flickered to avoid the night owl's gaze, and he turned around and ran away after speaking at a loss.

Ye Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't expect that Po Jun from the Guoshi Mansion would be so shy. But when she thought of Feng Lai's sacrifice to save her, she felt sad and her eyes dimmed.

Even though he was about to see the father he had never met before, there was no excitement in his heart.

Qu Wuyou came very quickly. The last time he went to the Saintess Clan to propose marriage to Ye Qingxuan, Ye Xiao had always avoided meeting him, which made him extremely melancholy.

At this moment, hearing that Ye Xiao took the initiative to visit, Qu Wuyou was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He could see Ye Xiao lying on the ground and looking at her quietly, his lips were pursed, his eyes were red, and he wanted to shout "Congratulations"

Son, but I couldn’t scream.

For a moment, he actually stayed there, neither approaching nor not approaching, looking at a loss, which made Greedy Wolf and Pojun who were following him grinning in secret joy.

"Sister, why are you here?"

The father and daughter looked at each other through the air, and the scene fell into an eerie silence. Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan rushed over after hearing the news, ran to Ye Xiao, picked her up and asked in surprise.

"Sister...wuwuwu..."

The sadness in Ye Xiao's heart could no longer be concealed at this moment, like a wronged child seeing its parents, he burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's my sister's fault for making you feel wronged."

Ye Qingxuan has now betrayed his master, and the thing he feels most worried about is his sister, fearing that he will implicate her.

Now seeing her always strong sister crying so sadly, she suddenly mistakenly thought that the teacher was angry with her because of her betrayal. Her heart was full of apologies, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she patted her back to comfort her.

"No...it's not because of sister, it's because I did something wrong and betrayed the master, so the master is chasing me. Fenglai...Fenglai...she escaped to cover me...wuwuwu."

Night Owl said sobbingly.

She already had the will to die in her heart. She came to the Imperial Palace just to find a home for Feng Lai and Feng Gui. She had done something wrong, and she did not intend to hide it anymore. She told the truth frankly, but when she thought of what happened because of herself,

When the dead phoenix came, she couldn't help but feel so sad that her heart was broken as she cried.

Qu Wuyou couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw his two daughters holding each other's arms and crying. He didn't want to lose face in front of the younger generation, so he turned around and wiped away his tears quietly.

Po Jun looked at Ye Xiao's expression of pain, and his heart suddenly ached like a needle pricking him. He couldn't help but have the urge to step forward to protect her. He took a step forward before he felt something was wrong. His handsome face suddenly appeared.

It turned red. Fortunately, no one noticed him at this time, otherwise he would have to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Well, this is not the place to talk outside. Let's go in first and then talk."

Although Qisha had always had a bad impression of Ye Xiao, she was her master's daughter after all and also his future sister-in-law. Seeing her desolate appearance at this moment, he couldn't help but feel sympathy and greeted her awkwardly.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go home first and then we'll talk about it later."

Qu Wuyou slapped his forehead and was so excited that he even forgot to let his little daughter go home.

"Home?"

Ye Xiao murmured in a low voice, a look of yearning flashing in his eyes.

She originally planned to commit suicide after entrusting Feng Gui to her sister, but hearing the long-lost word "home" at this moment made her heart tremble, recalling the warm scene in her heart that had been dusty for a long time.

In the dilapidated but clean room, she and her sister were lying on the warm quilt with only their little heads exposed, listening with relish to their mother holding the soles of her shoes under the dim oil lamp, with an astonishing brilliance on her face, and speaking softly.

He whispered about his father's heroic deeds.

After her mother passed away, she and her sister were brought into the Saint Women's Clan by their master. Although the people in the tribe treated them well, the Saint Women's Clan was just a sect after all, not a family. Every day was filled with constant training and endless competition.

, there is no family affection at all, so she can never find a true sense of belonging,

But at this moment, the word "home" uttered from her father's mouth made her cold heart suddenly feel warm. It turned out that she also had a family.

"Yes, go home, Jing'er, take your sister home quickly."

Qu Wuyou wiped away his tears and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, but his tone was as serious as a mountain.

Ye Xiao stared blankly at his father, who was already full of white hair and was crying and laughing. His nose was sore and his vision was blurred by tears.

Is this my father, the father who gave up his family for everyone and was still remembered by his mother before she died? He knew that he was being hunted by the Holy Maiden clan, but he still wanted to take her home without hesitation?

The meaning is self-evident.

Her father's love was like a mountain, and this protective feeling made her heart that she had hated for decades suddenly soften.
