TPK 393 – Who Says Her Mother Will Not Come, Who Says She No Longer Has Anyone To Rely On?


......................


Qing Shui's heart also felt tremendous pain, especially after seeing the look of longing in his mother's eyes. He had originally intended to gather more information about the Yan Clan before making his move.


He more or less knew about the situation of the Yan Clan from Lai Chusong!


The Yan Clan was divided into six branches. There was no direct inheritance in the Yan Clan. This does not mean that/it someone will automatically replace the position of Clan Leader if one is in the Main Branch. Yan Zhongyue was from the Sixth Branch.


Qing Shui's father, Yan Zhongyue, was the greatest among the three generations of the Yan Clan. The head of the Yan Clan was Yan Zhongyue's grandfather. With his outstanding appearance, it had already been decided that/it he would become the future Yan Clan Chief without a doubt, under one condition that/it was that he married a woman from the Xiao Clan.


But everything changed since the woman from the Xiao Clan entered the Yan Clan. Yan Zhongyue did not show any interest in that woman from the Xiao Clan. He only married her because she was forced by circumstances and was under the pressure of the clan.


Only the key people within the Yan Clan knew some reasons, such as the true strength of the Xiao Clan, as well as the fact that/that woman of the Xiao Clan only loved Yan Zhongyue, so insisted on marrying her. The Yan Clan had no choice but to agree.


However, during that time, the Yan Clan was already aware of Yan Zhongyue's situation in the Qing Clan …


But that woman from the Xiao Clan was unconcerned and persistent about her choices. He wanted to subdue Yan Zhongyue with his charm, then schemed against the entire Yan Clan.


After Yan Zhongyue was brought back to the Yan Clan, he became depressed. When the Yan Clan was in the Qing Clan's residence, they held the little girl as a hostage and once again used her to threaten Yan Zhongyue.


They could only guarantee the safety of the little girl after Yan Zhongyue and the women from the Xiao Clan completed their wedding ceremony! At that moment, Yan Zhongyue saw his daughter, who was only a few months old, nestling inside his arms. He is the son of her and the woman she loves. In the end, he had no other choice but to give up, give up in defeat …


Although they had completed their wedding ceremony, Yan Zhongyue had never ‘’touched’ ‘women from Xiao Clan. Just like this, time slowly passed and Yan Zhongyue relied on her daughter to overcome her thoughts about Qing Yi.


But everything was not as easy as expected!


Yan’s Clan Main Branch was originally the strongest bloodline. Yan Zhongfeng was the eldest grandson of the Yan Clan Main Branch, the same generation as Yan Zhongyue. Although his strength was slightly inferior compared to Yan Zhongyue, he was not a little inferior in other aspects. He had harbored hatred in his heart towards Yan Zhongyue, ever since he was young.


But he hid it well because he knew that/that he had to tolerate to turn things around.


He accidentally knew about the fight between Yan Zhongyue and the women of the Xiao Clan from the servants. The reason for the fight was because Yan Zhongyue had never touched him. It's been three years and he's never touched it. The woman from the Xiao Clan who could not stand it anymore finally exploded that time and started to quarrel with Yan Zhongyue.


However, everything remained unresolved, and from then on, the woman from the Xiao Clan also started to change.


Yan Zhongfeng tried to win over the women of the Xiao Clan through every possible means, even engaging with him under the right circumstances. Before they knew it, the two had met each other and had a pleasant relationship. This sort of thing was not uncommon among nobles and large clans.


A few more years passed and Yan Zhongyue became thinner than before, but she was greatly relieved when she saw her daughter grow up to be more and more similar to Qing Yi. He is very smart and intelligent, very similar to him.


Seeing the adoration and some other affection that made her envy her gaze towards Qing Qing she was able to calm her heart, which had previously been filled with a hint of guilt and uneasiness. It even aggravated him to play around with Yan Zhongfeng as revenge against Yan Zhongyue.


Then, Yan Zhongfeng had his first breakthrough to the Martial King realm when he was 45 years old.This had made him a lead among the three generations of the Yan Clan instantaneously, he said, that allowed him to unleash Yan Zhongyue who was at the peak of Xiantian and gain the position of himself while he was there.


The age of 45 is still considered very young, because it is the age in the life span of 500 years!


On the same day, Yan Zhongyue accidentally caught a small action between Yan Zhongfeng and Xiao Shiyun. The flirtatious look they exchanged made Yan Zhongyue boil furiously.


Despite everything, he was still named his wife. So he decided to follow her in secret the same night. Little did he know, he would lose his life from doing this.


Yan Zhongyue died unknown. Not long after she died, the woman from the Xiao Clan became pregnant and then gave birth to a baby boy that was said to be the son of Yan Zhongyue. Even so, many had suspicions in their hearts. After all, she had not been pregnant for many years and only became pregnant immediately after Yan Zhongyue's death.


The people who were allowed to speak did not want to reveal it, and the people who were not allowed to speak did not dare!


Regardless, Yan Zhongyue was part of the Yan Clan. He was the son of Yan Haoran of the Sixth Branch and the direct grandson of the Head of the Yan Clan. Back then, Yan Haoran had helplessly done his youngest son, Yan Zhongyue, wrong under the pressure of his own father and the Xiao Clan. Nevertheless, he was killed by his elder brother's bloodline.


Before one could even take any action, Yan Haozheng of the Yan Clan Main Branch had teamed up with the Xiao Clan to remove Yan Shiqiu from his title, he said, the latter was Yan Zhongyue's grandfather and Yan Clan Chief at that moment.


Xiao Shiyun then became his concubine. His wife died unknown half a month later, which allowed Xiao Shiyun to naturally become the main wife of the Yan Clan's Young Master.


The Yan Clan was now under the rule of the Yan Haozheng line!


Qing Shui discovered from Lai Chusong that/it Qing Qing was able to survive without a marriage relationship thanks to Yan Haoran's efforts. He had used death threats to get Yan Shiqiu in and ’announced’ that/that title of Clan Head was to be passed down to Yan Haozheng.


This was also the reason why the Xiao Clan would let Qing Qing off the hook, yet not allow him to enter the door of the Yan Clan.


’’ Qing Shui, let me go there. I just want to hang this on him, I won't say anything else. ’


Qing Shui watched the snowflakes outside dance faster and the cold wind blew stronger!


Shi Qingzhuang took off her robe and attached it to Qing Yi.


’’ Qing Shui, let auntie go! ’’ She looked at Qing Shui with tears.


Right at that moment, the sound of clanking nails came towards them!


Five figures wearing fox fur robes ran over their horses. Their horses were not inferior to the powerful Emberlion Horse that Shi Qingzhuang rode on!


Before Qing Shui could say anything, the horses that had been riding against the snow had already surrounded Qing Qing and were neighing incessantly.


Everyone on the street rushed over in panic when they saw what was happening.


’’The horses are special horses of Yan Clan,’ ‘Flaming Blue Steed’’! ’


Qing Shui could still get a clear view of the secluded figure surrounded in the middle, and could catch a glimpse of the face of ” Qing Qing ”. His facial expression however remained unchanged and he did not even bother to raise his head to look at them.


’’ Little Sister Qing, why are you doing this to yourself? What's so bad about being Young Master Xiao's concubine? Look at how you live today, ’’ sounds young sounding voice.


All he got in return was absolute silence, along with the sound of a cold wind blowing by such a blade. The youth who clearly seemed to have gotten used to receiving such indifferent treatment did nothing.


’’Young Master Yan, this is our 10th time coming here. Young Master Xiao has ordered us to bring him back this time, even if we have to do it by force. There is no need to care about the old geezer of your clan. Furthermore, do you think he would even fall with the Xiao Clan over an uncluttered gir? ’’ A haughty voice said to the man who was summoned as Young Master Yan.


’’Xiao Tian, be a little more respectful to my grandfather when you speak in public.’ ’


’’Ya, yes ....’ ’


’’ Little Sister Qing, will you be willing to follow us or do you want me to personally take you there? Sigh, this is too easy for Young Master Xiao. ” The man known as Young Master Yan sneered, disdainfully glancing at the girl who was in the middle. His tone was a little mocking.


’’ Stop relying on Guo Polu to help you again. I suspect that/that right now, he can't even move! ’’ Young Master Yan chuckles.


’’Oh, I forgot. You're waiting for your mother. Ahahahah. He doesn't even want you. They should gather around a warm stove on such a cold day. You no longer have people to rely on so why go on a wild goose chase? ’


’’ Bring him back! ’’


Young Master Yan shouted after he was done!


The three horses immediately ran towards Qing Qing who was at the center.


Right at that moment!


Xiuxiuxiu!


Pupupa!


Three beautiful and beautiful flowers of blood springing, very beautiful in this cold and piercing world of ice and snow.


’’Who, who, who !? Do you know who we are …? We are from the Yan Clan and the Xiao Clan …! ’’ The young man named Xiao Tian from earlier shouted with a pale face.


Young Master Yan is already out of color. A cold sweat appeared on his back even in the extremely cold weather and he felt uneasy whenever a cold wind blew.


’’Who said that/that his mother would not come? Who said he no longer had anyone to rely on ?! ’


The calm and peaceful voice was filled with flames that scorched the sky.


’’You are from Qing Clan ...’ Young Master Yan's voice vibrated. It seemed like this incident was not kept secret to the Qing Clan or perhaps because they did not even take the Qing Clan seriously and only treated them like a joke ……


Qing Shui, Qing Yi and Shi Qingzhuang had finally come before them!


” Qing Qing .... ’’.


Qing Yi wrapped her fur coat around her without a care in the world, her tears falling like loose pearls. Qing Qing just sat there dumbfounded, and looked at everything around him before he saw the woman who called out his name. No one has ever cried in front of him like this ……


Qing Qing was quite confused, staring at Qing Yi blankly was all she could manage. He was amazed to see a woman who looked so much like him.


When she saw the contours of Qing Qing's face that were very similar to her own, Qing Yi was sure that/that she was indeed the daughter taken from her 20 years ago.


” Qing Qing, I'm sorry .... ’.


Qing Yi's heart grew even more aching as she looked at Qing Qing who did not say a word. He doesn't know what else to say. Twenty years .. For twenty years, she did not perform any duties as a mother. Not only did she fail to make her existence known as a mother, but even made her struggle to survive under harsh and difficult conditions …


’’Did you meet me his faith? Why is he still acting like this even when I come? Could he hate me? ’


’’He must hate me!’ ’


These thoughts flashed through Qing Yi's mind right at that moment. Heartache, confusion, panic ……


Qing Qing pursed her lips. She simply looked at Qing Yi with emotionless eyes on her apathetic face before a drop of unexpectedly formed tears gradually.


A single crystal teardrop!


Anyone familiar with it would be surprised. This girl did not shed a tear when she was expelled from the main door of the Yan Clan. For him to shed a single tear here and now …


It was a clear tear!


” Qing Qing, I'm mother. Qing Qing .. ’


Qing Yi wrapped Qing Qing tightly around her fox fur coat and called out to her. Her tears never stopped in the first place even though they were mostly tears of joy. He could not even describe the overwhelming surprise of meeting his daughter.


’’Do you all want to kill yourself or do you want to wait for me to do it?’


Qing Shui's voice was empty of any emotion. These words made them suffer even more before their deaths.


’’You can't kill me. Not only am I directly related to the current head of the Yan Clan, I am his disciple as well .. ” Young Master Yan shouted at Qing Shui in panic. This was the biggest trump card up his sleeve. Just having this status was enough for him to do whatever he wanted in Yan City.


’’You cannot kill me, I am from the Xiao clan! Our Xiao Clan has a Martial Class cultivator 8 and also ..


Puu!


Xiao Tian's head was already instantly crushed by Qing Shui who was burning with a stinging rage before he could even finish his sentence. The only one left was Young Master Xiao. At this moment, he was left trembling, and unable to utter another word.
