Song Wangchen hadn't appeared since he left last time. Ji Nuan had gone to the bamboo house several times to look for him. She wanted to explain clearly to him, but he didn't even give her a chance to explain.

She stood by the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. After what happened recently, she was even more sure that she should return to modern times. This place was not suitable for her.

Yu Man kept watching her, seeing that she was always worried, and suddenly wanted to tell her what happened when she was a child. She had never talked about those unbearable memories with anyone, but she was different.

"Ji Nuan, do you want to know what happened when I was a child?"

Ji Nuan turned around and nodded and smiled at her, and she began to talk about the past.

Yu Man's mother, Zhang Yunru, was a rare beauty among hundreds of families when she was young. Not only that, she was also amazingly talented in spiritual practice. At that time, there was an endless stream of young men from aristocratic families who came to Zhang's house to propose marriage, but she just fell in love with her.

Yu Yuanyang, the leader of Changyu Island.

Yu Yuanyang was young and promising, handsome and free-spirited. The two fell in love at first sight and eventually became partners, which became a legend among hundreds of families.

A year after the marriage, little Yu Man was born. When she was born, she held Yu Yuanyang's hand with her big eyes and laughed happily. From then on, she lived a life surrounded by stars.

It wasn't until she started practicing at the age of three that everything slowly changed. Obviously her parents were both highly skilled in cultivation, so logically speaking she should also be gifted, but things turned out to be the opposite. Perhaps because she had been spoiled since she was a child, she was often unwilling to practice.

.

At first, Yu Yuanyang would hold her patiently and coax her. Gradually, he lost patience and got angry at her for the first time: "If you don't practice seriously, I won't want you anymore."

Cultivation is particularly important to the Xianmen family. His daughter will take over Changyu in the future. Naturally, he cannot tolerate his daughter doing nothing.

At that time, she was so frightened that she cried. She grabbed her mother's hand and shook it like a baby: "Mom, I don't want to learn, I don't want to."

Zhang Yunru just held her in her arms and comforted her softly: "Man'er, be good, your father is doing this for your own good. Just listen to his words and learn from them, and you will be invincible in the world in the future."

From then on, she began to practice seriously, but the path of practice was difficult and the smile on her face gradually became less and less.

When she was five years old, her cultivation had not improved and she was often unable to hold a sword steadily. Yu Yuanyang became angry again, pointed at her forehead and cursed: "If you don't practice well today, you won't be allowed to eat tonight.

Until you practice well."

Watching her father leave in anger, she felt sadness for the first time at a young age. She began to practice sword fighting, and she really didn't go to eat that day.

Seeing that the smile on her daughter's face was getting less and less, Zhang Yunru couldn't bear it, but she had no choice. She began to plead with Yu Yuanyang. But he always said: "It's you who spoiled her. How could my Yu Yuanyang's daughter do this?"

Nothing to do”.

But God still played a big joke on her. When Yu Man was eight years old, she had been unable to form an elixir for a long time after practicing hard for five years.

Yu Yuanyang was so angry that he blamed all his faults on Zhang Yunru, and gradually began to alienate the mother and daughter. Sometimes he didn't even bother to see them for a month, let alone teach them personally.

Yu Man suddenly became unpopular, even the servants in the palace were pointing fingers at her behind her back. They said she was useless and not worthy of being the daughter of the sect leader.

Gradually, there was no smile on her face anymore, but her mother always smiled and taught her carefully, but she often wiped her tears behind her back. She knew all this, and she became more diligent, but her efforts were still useless, and she still couldn't

Pill formation.

When she was nine years old, her father

There was a young woman dressed coquettishly beside him, and the servants in the palace all respectfully called her Mrs. Mei. Not long after, Mrs. Mei became pregnant, and Yu Yuanyang once again smiled on his face. He, the Yu family, had hope again.

Yu Man lost hope.

Yu Man's mother never complained a word from beginning to end, and she taught Yu Man as carefully as ever.

Even the maid next to her was asked by Madam Mei, saying that she had served the eldest lady to give birth to children, had experience, and was good to the children in her belly. But Zhang Yunru still didn't say anything, but the more this happened, Mei

The madam felt more and more that their mother and daughter were easy to bully.

That day, when she saw Zhang Yunru and Yu Man walking through the corridor, she deliberately said to the maid: "I am pregnant with a son. Women who cannot give birth to a son have no future. Our sect master can only go to me now. No."

Like some people, they live like a walking zombie with no one to care for or love them. How pitiful!”

Yu Man clenched her fists, as if she was about to rush forward to argue, but her mother still shook her head at her and forcibly pulled her away. Yu Man turned back and glared at Mrs. Mei, only to see her still sitting there covering her mouth and laughing tremblingly.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, she had the idea of ​​killing for the first time.

On the day of Yu Man's tenth birthday, everyone on Changyu Island celebrated, and many people from hundreds of families came to congratulate them. Yu Yuanyang loved face most, and for the first time, he took Zhang Yunru's hand and showed affection in front of everyone. Although Zhang Yunru knew that

Everything was false, but she was still happy from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Yuanyang prohibited Mrs. Mei from appearing in front of everyone. Mrs. Mei knew that as long as Zhang Yunru was still in Changyu, she would always be able to hide. She began to plan how to drive away the mother and daughter.

Yu Man's uncle Zhang Yonghe brought the valuable Peiyuan Pill and delivered it to Yu Man's room personally. But she pushed it away and told her uncle that what she wanted was 'Wuxin'.

‘Wuxin’ is a very poisonous substance that is colorless and odorless and cannot be detected with a silver needle. Just a little bit can easily kill someone.

Although the Zhang family is a family of immortal cultivators, they are quite accomplished in elixirs, and 'Wuxin' is a strange poison that they don't spread to others.

Zhang Yonghe didn't know what happened to their mother and daughter in Changyu. Zhang Yunru always reported good things but not bad things. He secretly wondered what Yu Man wanted the poison for, but Yu Man just told him that she wanted to use it to poison rats. Although he was confused,

Finally, I gave it to her.

Not long after the birthday, Mrs. Mei came to the courtyard where Zhang Yunru lived with the support of her maid, her belly full, and she pretended to bring snacks to visit Yu Man.

Zhang Yunru personally served her new tea and entertained her well, but she started complaining of stomachache after drinking the tea. Yu Yuanyang was worried that something might happen to the child in her belly, so he slapped her without any explanation, and then walked away with Mrs. Mei in his arms.

go.

She still held back her tears and said nothing. She just smiled at Yu Man and told her: "Don't be afraid, Man'er, mother is fine."

Yu Man held 'Wuxin' tightly in his hand, a look of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Early the next morning, she quietly followed the maid who was making soup for Mrs. Mei to the kitchen, and quietly put 'Wuxin' in the soup when others were not paying attention.

Then she secretly followed the maid to Mrs. Mei's door. Mrs. Mei drank the soup and vomited blood before she could say a word and fell to the ground. The maid screamed and called for help everywhere.

Yu Man did not get the pleasure of revenge, but began to be afraid. After all, it was her first time to kill someone.

She ran into her mother's arms in panic and began to tell her everything that had just happened. Zhang Yunru did not blame her, but touched her face lovingly and told her: "Don't be afraid Man'er, my mother is here"!

Yu

Yuanyang quickly got the news and came to them angrily. The doctor told him that Mrs. Mei was poisoned by a strange poison, and he immediately thought of 'Wuxin'.

But when he arrived, Zhang Yunru was already dying. Yu Man kept crying: "Mother, mother, don't scare Man'er, Man'er is afraid...".

Zhang Yunru gave her inner alchemy and spiritual practice to Yu Man, but her own spiritual power was exhausted and she was about to be unable to survive.

But she still stroked Yu Man's little face and told her: "Man'er, don't be afraid, my mother will always protect you."

Only then did Yu Yuanyang realize that he regretted it. It was pity that he had forced his true love to a dead end just for the sake of so-called face.

He knelt on the ground and kept slapping his face, while he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yunru, I, I know I was wrong."

Zhang Yunru reached out with difficulty, and he immediately took her hand and touched his face.

She gently stroked away the tears on his face, forced a smile, and said weakly: "Yuanyang, I, I don't blame you, be good, be good, be good to Man..."

Zhang Yunru's hand slowly slipped from his and hit the ground hard, and her eyes slowly closed. She had loved, hated, and complained in her life, but she had never regretted it.

"Mother..." Yu Man's heartbreaking cry came. Yu Yuanyang reached out to hug her, but she slowly backed away, crying and yelling: "I don't want you, you were the one who killed me.

"My mother". After she finished speaking, she wiped away her tears and ran out. Yu Yuanyang hugged Zhang Yunru and fell into endless regret...

From that day on, Yu Man never called him father again, nor took the initiative to talk to him. She became more and more withdrawn, never getting close to others, and she never cried or laughed again.

She had no friends and often lost her temper. There was no servant or maid in the house who had not been punished by her. They were all afraid of her, very afraid.

When she was sixteen years old, she had become a slim girl, but her temper was getting worse and worse. Slowly, matchmakers began to come over to talk to her, but she always beat them out without explanation. Later, no one dared to marry her.

Let's talk matchmaking.

From then on, she became notorious in Changyu, and everyone said that she was arrogant, domineering, and arrogant. She followed their wishes and became even more arrogant. She would hit anyone she didn't like, and she would beat anyone she didn't like.

Just smash it...

Yu Yuanyang wanted to teach her a lesson several times, but every time he thought of the mistakes he had made, he endured them one by one.

Now that she has reached her twenties, she still has no friends. She once felt that she did not need friends at all. It was not until she met Ji Nuan that she realized that having friends was really a wonderful feeling...

After Ji Nuan heard her tell the whole story, she suddenly felt relieved. She had always been worried about what happened in Mo Mansion, and always felt that they were sanctimonious and hypocritical. But now she understood that no one is perfect. In the face of life and death, everyone is

It's selfish. It's certainly wrong for them to kill people just to stay alive, but this doesn't mean they are evil people themselves.

There was no expression on Yu Man's face, as if everything she said had nothing to do with her.

Ji Nuan gently held her hand and told her: "You will still have me from now on."

With a simple sentence, Yu Man's originally tense emotions suddenly burst out, and she began to sob.

Ji Nuan hugged her tightly, letting her tears soak through his clothes. What was the so-called strength? It was just a desperate disguise to prevent others from discovering his vulnerability.
