Chapter 2425: Divine Son of the Jun Clan in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm Reveals the Truth, Li Xianyao's Complex Emotions

~7 min read 1,280 words

On the way, Li Xianyao remained silent, as quiet as a jade carving. Jun Xiaoyao also said nothing.

Sensing this slightly strange atmosphere, Su Qian also stayed silent. In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, they returned to the Other Shore Dao Palace. And not long after returning to the Other Shore Dao Palace,

Li Xianyao found Jun Xiaoyao.

"I still need to return to the Li tribe to handle some matters, so I'll take my leave for now."

When Li Xianyao said this, her gaze still did not meet Jun Xiaoyao's. And just as she was about to turn and leave,

Jun Xiaoyao directly grabbed her crystal-clear slender arm.

"Xianyao, you should still have something to say to me, right?" Jun Xiaoyao said. Li Xianyao's face, half-hidden by her veil, bore a hint of restraint.

Jun Xiaoyao said nothing, pulling her into his resting chamber.

Then he lifted her veil, revealing that face so beautiful it took one's breath away.

But at this moment, Li Xianyao's fair and delicate cheeks were already marked with streaks of crystal tears.

"Xiaoyao, why, why must I say it out?" Li Xianyao did not want to say more.

She only wanted to forget the previous illusion, pretending nothing had happened.

After a period of time, as long as she completely forgot it.

Then she would still be herself, and Jun Xiaoyao would still be Jun Xiaoyao. "Say it out, and your heart will feel better."

Jun Xiaoyao said seriously.

Although he had already guessed what Li Xianyao knew, she still had to say it herself.

"Do you know... a woman named Shengyi?" Li Xianyao's eyes fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.

Hearing this name, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm; he had long anticipated it. "I know." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Jiang Shengyi, she is my..." Jun Xiaoyao paused slightly.

Thinking of Jiang Shengyi and their engagement, he then said: "She is my wife."

Hearing this, Li Xianyao's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but retreat two steps. She continued to look at Jun Xiaoyao and said: "Then I... who am I?"

"You..." Jun Xiaoyao was at a loss for words.

"Why, in that illusion, when I saw the woman named Jiang Shengyi, did I feel a very familiar aura?"

Li Xianyao, her heart seemingly already forming some guess, but she dared not confirm it.

Because she was afraid, fearful.

Afraid that she was merely someone's shadow, or a substitute.

"Ah..." Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

Although such a day was bound to come sooner or later.

However, for Li Xianyao, it was indeed somewhat cruel.

But he still spoke plainly: "You are her soul's reincarnation, or rather, one-fourth of her soul's reincarnation."

As the words fell, the room fell into silence.

Li Xianyao's mind went blank, not knowing what expression to show. "Well then, you certainly have the right to know these things."

Jun Xiaoyao also told Li Xianyao everything about Jiang Shengyi.

Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, dark turmoil, Jiang Shengyi sacrificed her heart, the Four Souls Flower reincarnated. What needed to be said, Jun Xiaoyao said it all.

Even his own true origin was not concealed. He is the Divine Son of the Jun clan of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, reborn in the Realm Sea. All secrets, Jun Xiaoyao laid bare without reservation. After learning these things,

Li Xianyao remained speechless for a long while.

Because for her, this fact was too extraordinary, even seeming somewhat absurd.

But when she thought of Jun Xiaoyao, that ever-present hint of mysterious aura about him.

And his peerless terrifying talent and strength. Thinking this, it seemed only natural.

The Jun clan—even Li Xianyao had glimpsed this family's legend in some historical records.

That is an eternally prosperous clan spanning epochs and ancient history. Its origins are beyond imagination.

Even the Cloud Sacred Emperor Palace is not his greatest reliance... "So, am I a part of Jiang Shengyi's soul?"

Li Xianyao finally spoke, her voice carrying a touching tremor and fragility.

"Exactly." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Then your previous attitude toward me was all because..." Li Xianyao's jade lips trembled slightly.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed in his heart, saying: "If I say I did it for you, you probably wouldn't believe me now."

Li Xianyao remained silent.

"Xianyao, you can get angry, you can be furious, you can even hate me." Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Li Xianyao clenched her jade hand.

Making her hate Jun Xiaoyao—how could she possibly do that? She couldn't forget how Jun Xiaoyao blocked that sword for her. She couldn't forget the shoulder Jun Xiaoyao gave her to lean on.

Even if all this was merely because she is Jiang Shengyi's soul reincarnation.

But that warmth and care were genuine. Li Xianyao suddenly felt a hint of envy in her heart.

She envied the woman named Jiang Shengyi.

"I truly envy Jiang Shengyi—you actually managed to pursue her to the Realm Sea world."

Li Xianyao's lips curled into a smile. But this smile was bitter.

"You are her—does that make a difference?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

In his view, Li Xianyao is Li Xianyao, but also Jiang Shengyi. There is no difference between the two.

Li Xianyao slightly shook her head and said.

"My mind is in chaos now—can you give me some time to think?" First, because of the Li Sheng matter, Li Xianyao's heart was tangled, a mix of emotions. Now this has come up again.

This makes Li Xianyao's feelings even more complex and hard to resolve.

She is just a woman, yet she has to bear so much. "It's fine, you also need to rest." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Then I'll return to the Li tribe first." Li Xianyao turned and left.

Jun Xiaoyao did not try to stop her this time, only watching her leave. Whoever it was, their heart would be in turmoil at this moment.

Jun Xiaoyao rarely feels guilt. But at this moment, he does have a trace of guilt. Li Xianyao is too sensible.

Jun Xiaoyao even feels that, even if she argued, even if she caused a scene, even if she was angry, even if she hated, that would be completely normal.

If it were someone else, facing such reality, they would also be unable to control their emotions.

But Li Xianyao did not; she simply left quietly and silently, bearing it alone.

Being sensible makes people feel heartbroken.

But Jun Xiaoyao now cannot go disturb her. That would only make her more confused.

Jun Xiaoyao plans to wait for a period of time, until Li Xianyao completely calms down, then communicate again.

Li Xianyao left the Other Shore Dao Palace and returned to the Li tribe. However, not long after she returned to the Li tribe.

She then learned that Li Sheng had also returned to the Li tribe. Li Sheng was not previously in the Li tribe. Soon, Li Xianyao had an audience with Li Sheng.

Li Sheng sat on the high seat, his figure towering, his face blurred, as if shrouded in mist.

His aura was deep and heavy, his power immeasurable. Not only is he one of the masters of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Even within the Li tribe, Li Sheng's status is extraordinary, able to stand on equal footing with the Li tribe's numerous ancestors.

"Xianyao, how are you adapting in the tribe?" Li Sheng said in a light tone.

"Father, Xianyao is doing alright staying in the Li tribe." Li Xianyao said. She at this moment restrained her emotions, not letting Li Sheng see any clue.

"However, I heard from Chengtian that you seem to be quite close with that Yunxiao?" Li Sheng's deep gaze fell upon Li Xianyao.
