——Master, what’s wrong with you?
Nameless was still rambling about something when they suddenly noticed that Ouyang Zixin had completely stopped responding. It seemed she was acting strangely; could it be the aftereffects of the Mental Storm?
“I... I suddenly feel very sad...” Ouyang Zixin said as tears began to fall. The joy she felt when she first woke up was nowhere to be found; she was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and looked around blankly, “What’s happening to me? Nameless, didn’t you hear that sad voice...?”
Was that ruined city and those scattered corpses really because of her?
Was that person truly Yun Tianmo? Or was it just someone who looked exactly like Yun Tianmo? Did that person really commit such cruel acts for her sake?
“Cruel? Haha, I once thought like you, unwilling to forgive him. But in the end, I realized I was wrong—terribly wrong...” The voice echoed again with a sobbing laugh, as if it could sense Ouyang Zixin’s thoughts and looked down upon them.
Wrong? Why?
To destroy a city for one person, causing so many deaths—wasn’t that cruel?
“He is avenging us; those people in the city... deserved to die!”
Us? No, it’s impossible; it has nothing to do with me. Don’t say such things.
Ouyang Zixin fell into a frenzied state, as if two versions of herself appeared in her Mind. One was the familiar her, and the other was a completely unfamiliar “self.”
Could she trust what that “self” said?
The deep-seated pain felt so clear, as if she had truly experienced it herself. When she saw him turn around with those hollow and sorrowful eyes, why did she feel an impulse to rush over and hold him tightly?
"Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan. The most esteemed woman in the entire Yuhai Continent. At that time, there were no empires, no Sovereigns, and all clan leaders had to show respect when they met the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a queen without a crown. In that era, the entire Bai Clan existed in relation to the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, and all powerful families sought to marry her, even if it meant losing that status after marriage. They vied for her hand."
Distant memories slowly drifted in with the woman's voice. They came closer, recounting those histories that are now unknown...
The Bai Clan originally resided in what is now the territory of Cloud Nation, though at that time Cloud Nation had not yet been established. The Bai Clan thrived on that vast land, subtly leading everyone, even those outside the Bai Clan looked up to them. At that time, the First Generation Bai Clan Heiress had just married the White Clan Leader, and they shared a strong bond. Not long after, the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan became pregnant, and the entire clan was filled with joy, preparing to welcome a young master or young princess.
"The title of Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan originally meant 'matriarch of the Bai Clan,' but over generations, misunderstandings arose in its transmission, leading to its current interpretation."
As Ouyang Zixin listened to the woman's narration, she could almost see the happy life belonging to the Bai Ethnic Group on that vast land; their laughter seemed to echo in her ears.
Soon after, the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan gave birth to a baby girl. From then on, she devoted herself to educating her daughter, waiting for the day she would grow up to become the next Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, continuing to help the Bai Clan grow stronger. Just when everyone thought that happiness would continue indefinitely, misfortune struck...
"Someone had designs on the White Clan Leader, planning to target the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, and they were even unwilling to spare the baby girl still in her cradle..."
"Oh my!" Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zixin exclaimed. That beautiful life felt like a mirror suddenly shattered; she felt her heart tighten painfully. "What happened next?"
"What happened next? The Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan died. Although her daughter was protected, she was severely injured and fell into a coma, possibly never to awaken. When the clan leader returned home and saw his wife and daughter harmed like this, he was naturally furious and heartbroken. If it weren't for his daughter still drawing breath in her cradle, he might have followed the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan..."
What a devoted man; surely he would take good care of that baby girl.
For some reason, as Ouyang Zixin thought this, she suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart, as if she could be at ease as long as that baby girl was well.
"While a daughter still needs care, revenge for his wife's death cannot be ignored, so..."
"No!" Ouyang Zixin screamed as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Before that voice could reveal what happened next, it felt as if she already knew what would occur. She closed her eyes in anguish and pressed her hands tightly against her chest, nearly unable to breathe.
"No? Hmph, ha ha ha... Your wife was killed by someone; your daughter may never awaken—yet you say no? Don't you hate it? Don't you feel heartache? Won't you feel resentment?" The woman's voice suddenly rose in pitch as she laughed excitedly. "Yes, you have forgotten that pain; you have forgotten what it feels like to be unable to breathe. Your husband and daughter are forever distant from you; those despicable people only sought greater benefits and used insidious means to harm you..."
No, no! I have not forgotten!
Ouyang Zixin covered her ears; she didn't want to listen any longer. The voice filled with accusations and blame made her feel immense guilt, each question felt like a knife, cutting into her heart. Yet, she didn't understand why she felt this way...
"He went to that city and slaughtered everyone cleanly. He thought he had avenged you, but years later he realized there were still survivors. Unfortunately, they had already escaped far away, so far that he was powerless to do anything. Since then, he has lived in deep sorrow..."
Who is he...
The leader of the Bai Clan? No, she felt that things were beyond her imagination...
Could it be that person, Yun Tianmo? How did he become the leader of the Bai Clan?
"He? He is the one you said you would never forget..." The woman's voice seemed to grow weaker, as if it could disappear at any moment. "You have forgotten for too long; it's time to remember..."
Remember what?
"He has the surname Yun, the most carefree cloud in the blue sky..."
Cloud? Why would the leader of the Bai Clan have the surname Yun?
"Why? You will know when you remember... everything will become clear..."
