Against The Sky Supreme

In Si Hong Yuan's heart, when he first saw Zhong Wu Shi Yao, he thought she was his unwed daughter-in-law. However, when he heard Tan Yun express her desire to destroy the Zhongli Family, he became certain that the woman in front of him was not his nominal daughter-in-law!

The reason he slapped Si Hong Sheng Yuan was that he knew the girl who resembled his nominal daughter-in-law was actually Tan Yun's fiancée!

Si Hong Sheng Yuan also understood the intention behind his father's slap, but he couldn't help but clasp his fists toward Tan Yun and say, “Sovereign, please don’t be angry. I had no other intention.”

“I just feel that your fiancée looks really too much like my second brother’s unwed wife.”

“Although I haven’t seen my sister-in-law for over ninety years, in my memory, she really looks exactly like your fiancée!”

Upon hearing this, Tan Yun frowned, “I’m not angry. I’m just curious. Does your sister-in-law really look just like Shiyao?”

At this moment, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Su Bing, Jade Whisper, Dreamtalk, and Xian'er were also quite curious.

“Yes, Sovereign. If you don’t believe me, take a look!” As Si Hong Sheng Yuan spoke, he waved his right arm, and a burst of spiritual power condensed into an image in the void.

In the image, a rather handsome young man stood alongside a girl in a white skirt, resembling the Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

The white skirt girl indeed looked very similar to Zhong Wu Shiyao!

If one had to say there was a difference, it was that the girl in the memory image exuded the grace of a noble lady, gentle and refined.

“She really looks so much like me!” Zhong Wu Shiyao's beautiful eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

“Indeed, very similar.” Tan Yun and the four girls nodded in agreement.

Si Hong Sheng Yuan said, “Sovereign, this man is my second brother, Si Hong Sheng Tian. The girl is named Zhong Wu Wan, the daughter of the Zhong Wu Family.”

“Zhong Wu Wan… Zhong Wu Shiyao, they look nearly identical, and they even share the same surname…” After muttering to himself, Tan Yun looked at Si Hong Sheng Yuan and asked, “Oh right, how many daughters does the Zhong Wu Family have?”

Zhong Wu Shiyao clearly guessed that Tan Yun suspected the Zhong Wu Family was related to her origins, and her beautiful eyes also held an expectant look.

Si Hong Sheng Yuan confirmed, “There is only my sister-in-law as a daughter.”

“Are you sure?” Tan Yun pondered.

“I am certain,” Si Hong Sheng Yuan replied truthfully.

Tan Yun frowned deeply, “Then let me ask you, has Zhong Wu Wan ever been pregnant?”

“Shouldn’t be,” Si Hong Sheng Yuan recalled.

“If she has, then she has. If she hasn’t, then she hasn’t. What do you mean by ‘shouldn’t be’?” Tan Yun stared at Si Hong Sheng Yuan.

Si Hong Sheng Yuan hesitated to speak, appearing somewhat reluctant to look at Si Hong Yuan.

“Alas!” Si Hong Yuan sighed and said, “Sovereign, this matter concerns the family shame of the Si Hong Family.”

“Since the Sovereign has asked about this, I suppose I should speak.”

With that, Si Hong Yuan fell into a long recollection, his mood heavy as he spoke, “This matter goes back to when our ancestors obtained the Divine Sword.”

“Over eighty thousand years ago, the Si Hong Family and the Zhong Wu Family have always been friends; this matter is known throughout the entire Ancient Cang Mountain Range.”

“However, ever since our ancestors and Zhong Wu Chang Cun each brought back a Divine Sword from the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, our ancestors and Zhong Wu Chang Cun unexpectedly became enemies over wanting to obtain the Divine Sword from each other!”

“From that moment on, the two families became irreconcilable, and over time they became sworn enemies.”

“Over three hundred years ago, our Si Hong Family produced a once-in-a-millennium genius, who is my second son Sheng Tian. At that time, Sheng Tian was only thirty but had already reached the great perfection of the divine soul realm.”
