Upon hearing this, Tan Yun was stunned. Could it be that Shiyao is the daughter of Si Hong Sheng Tian?
And Si Hong Sheng Yuan is Shiyao's uncle!
Si Hong Yuan is Shiyao's grandfather!
At this moment, not only was Tan Yun thinking this way, but Su Bing, Jade Whisper, Dreamtalk, Xian'er, and even Zhong Wu Shi Yao were all in shock.
On the contrary, Si Hong Yuan stared at Zhong Wu Shiyao, his old body trembling violently. The look in his eyes towards Zhong Wu Shiyao became incredibly kind.
He was old but not foolish. He guessed that the Shiyao before him was very likely to be his own granddaughter!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Si Hong Yuan trembled as he asked, “Sovereign Madam, may I ask where your jade pendant came from?”
Zhong Wu Shiyao looked lonely, and truthfully replied, “I am an abandoned baby, thrown away in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range. Later, my adoptive parents picked me up from a wolf's den and raised me.”
“My adoptive parents told me that when they found me, this jade pendant was hanging around my neck.”
“My adoptive father saw that the pendant had the Zhong Wu surname engraved on it, so he named me Zhong Wu Shiyao.”
Upon hearing this, Si Hong Yuan asked, “Sovereign Madam, how old are you this year?”
“I am actually one hundred and five years old,” Zhong Wu Shiyao said. As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Si Hong Yuan to respond, Si Hong Sheng Yuan exclaimed in shock and excitement, “Based on the timeline, Sovereign Madam, you could be my niece!”
Zhong Wu Shiyao bit her lip and quietly asked, “Is this jade pendant really hand-carved by the noble Second Young Master?”
“Yes… it is!” Si Hong Sheng Yuan rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, “Sovereign, and Sovereign Madam, I will take you to meet my second brother, let him confirm the origin of the Blood Phoenix Celestial Jade, okay?”
Zhong Wu Shiyao felt a bit confused at this moment. She looked at Tan Yun, casting an inquiring glance.
Tan Yun stepped forward, took Zhong Wu Shiyao's hand, and looked at Si Hong Sheng Yuan, saying, “Alright, thank you for your trouble.”
Then, Si Hong Yuan, Tan Yun, and the five women followed Si Hong Sheng Yuan as they flew out of the Si Hong Secret Realm...
In the eastern mountains of the Si Hong Secret Realm, there was a mountain stream lake.
The lake was shimmering blue, flowers bloomed along the shore, and willows drooped in the gentle breeze, creating a scene that looked like a paradise.
At the same time, it was also the sacred place in Si Hong Sheng Tian's heart, where he placed his hopes.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood by the lake, looking confused as he muttered, “The breeze is still fresh, the flowers are blooming beautifully, the blue water flows gently, but you are not by my side.”
“Wan'er, a hundred years ago you told me to wait for you here, to keep waiting, but… how much longer will it be until you come?”
The man in the brocade robe's eyes revealed deep affection.
Long ago, Zhong Wu Wan had asked him to wait where they first met, saying she would definitely return.
However, a hundred years had passed, and she never came!
He had been waiting foolishly, never leaving this place for a century, fearing that if he left, she might come and not find him, feeling sad and disappointed.
He had once thought about having his father lead a force to attack the Zhong Wu Family to take her back.
However, he never did that, as he knew she deeply loved her family.
If he led his family to attack the Zhong Wu Family, it would surely break her heart.
Of course, he also understood that the Zhong Wu Family was equal in strength to his family, and he could not disregard the survival of his family for personal feelings.
He firmly believed that since she asked him to wait here, she would definitely come back and reunite with him.
His love had deepened into obsession, and he was willing to give up everything for her, even relinquishing his position as young master to his elder brother!
