She took a slow breath before asking, “Do you know Su Zhang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I do,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to know how he’s doing now?” Qi Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Su Jin shook her head outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then do you hate him?” Qi Yi asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin shook her head. “Why would I hate him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, although Su Zhang had forced a divorce and abandoned her and her second son Su Shen, only the unborn second son had truly had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had had a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Su Zhang’s eyes had been red, pleading with her to choose her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Jin thought him faithless and morally bankrupt, so she chose her mother, Lin Linghua—more responsible, more dependable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years have passed; her mother and her current father, Su Yan, love her deeply—proof she made the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi frowned slightly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t what she’d expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been reborn—twice. First, from the interstellar age into this cultivation world. Second, after being murdered, she returned to her childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little girl was the elder sister of Su Shen, the one she’d battled her entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Shen had loved their father so much, had fought so hard for his affection—why did Su Jin show not a trace of longing or reverence for her father, Su Zhang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Su Zhang had always spoken nothing but praise of Su Jin, never once uttered a single word against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both past life and this one. In public and in private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always felt Su Jin was full of mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He… he’s your father, yet he didn’t stay to raise you. Are you truly not angry with him?” Qi Yi pressed urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine—I have Father Su Yan raising me, and he’s wonderful to me,” Su Jin said. Su Yan was who she meant; honestly, Su Jin always thought Su Yan made a better father than Su Zhang. Su Yan had an excellent temper and was incredibly careful with children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi nearly suffered a heart attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: if Father Su Zhang knew Su Jin’s thoughts, he’d be heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, she was the daughter of Su Zhang’s beloved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before marrying Su Zhang, her mother already had three children: her two older brothers and herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their father had died early in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother, carrying three children, was cast out of the Qi family gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To support her three children, her mother worked with her frail body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A widow with three children had an impossible life. Constantly bullied and mistreated, her mother soon fell into depression and took her own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent herself from witnessing her mother’s suicide again, she lured Su Zhang—made him see his own wife’s wretched state. Su Zhang, as she’d hoped, returned home and divorced his pregnant wife to marry her mother, taking on the responsibility of raising all three siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qi Yi’s eyes, Su Zhang was a trustworthy, admirable husband and father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He treated their mother and the four of them better than anyone could ask for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he never forgot his own children; she often saw him secretly visiting Su Jin and Su Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just watching—never showing himself before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Su Zhang is still your real father. Haven’t you ever wanted to visit him? See how he’s doing now?” Qi Yi argued stubbornly for her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I visit him? I heard he’s doing great—happy marriage, filial children, five kids already. When he grows old, he’ll have five children to care for him. What’s the point of me visiting?” Su Jin eyed Qi Yi suspiciously. “How do you know so much about Su Zhang? Are you his neighbor, or his new wife’s child?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the child of his new wife. My name is Qi Yi,” Qi Yi formally introduced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ohhh, then treat him well from now on. He got expelled from the clan just to marry his new wife,” Su Jin said with glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry. I’m going to heat my meal. If you only came to talk about Su Zhang, don’t bring him up again. It’s pointless,” Su Jin said, smiling as she picked up her small basket and went to heat her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi watched Su Jin walk away, feeling utterly depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in her past life, Su Zhang had never forgotten Su Jin. Even when Su Shen committed so many wrongs, he forgave her again and again—all because of Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always said: if Su Jin were still here, she’d have forgiven Su Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t just her father who remembered Su Jin’s goodness and favored Su Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the clan and sect, Su Jin’s legacy was immense; every time Su Shen fell into despair, someone always stepped in to help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin was Su Shen’s greatest advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Su Shen fell to demonic cultivation, the sect’s elders still retrieved her, spent vast resources to purge her demonic powers, and restored her to the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, it stunned countless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Shen was unprecedented—the first in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the sect’s first disciple ever to fall to demonic cultivation yet not be hunted or expelled. She was also the first ever to have multiple sect elders unite to cleanse her demonic powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi had never understood: why was Su Jin so favored by the sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she leave behind so much legacy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had Su Jin actually done to be so deeply remembered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she learned Su Jin was also studying at the Su clan school, she defied her mother’s objections and insisted on enrolling there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was obvious: among nearby clan schools, the Su clan school was the best and produced the most talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had no idea of the turmoil in Qi Yi’s mind. After lunch, she returned to the Second Hall, packed her belongings, and, under the intense stares of everyone, walked into the neighboring Third Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had finally escaped this increasingly spirit-poor hall—and Su Lan’s secret glares!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Cheng watched Su Jin leave and couldn’t help calling out, “Wait for me! I’ll join you tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin didn’t even turn around—just waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunhu: So now I’m the only one left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lan watched Su Jin depart, her heart seething with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Linyuan and Yang Guan: We need to eat more spirit fruits. Training speed must increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Third Hall, Su Jin carried her belongings and stepped inside—Su Wuji rushed to the door to greet her at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my, you’ve finally arrived! I’ve been alone here—it’s unbearable. No one to talk to, I was about to run back to you all,” Su Wuji laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you dare run back! You don’t know—two more classmates broke through to Qi Refining Level One these past two days. With everyone training together using Spirit Gathering Arrays, spiritual energy’s already running low,” Su Jin couldn’t help complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a69841d410f025824028b9c5238a7703d828ba9afb10bfbac930a1b866938e82","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-37","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-35",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
