“Is the child father picked up Ye Xun?” Ye Qingtang asked carefully.
However, Ye Ling shook his head and replied, “Ye Xun was picked up at the door after I became the family master of the Ye family. The child that I picked up halfway back is not Ye Xun, but you…”
Ye Qingtang was taken aback instantly.
Ye Ling cast a bitter smile to Ye Qingtang. “Tang Tang, I originally wanted to tell you about this once you got married. However, after going through all this, I thought of telling you in advance.”
“On that day, my wife and I had just lost a child and were heartbroken. Yet, we found you. I cannot describe that feeling. Perhaps, this was a child whom G.o.d made up to us with. We brought you back to the Ye residence and took care of you like you were our biological daughter. I have never told anyone about this. The only people who know about it are you, your mother, and I.”
He took out the jade pendant from the box as he spoke.
“This jade pendant was found on you when we picked you up initially. Perhaps, it was left by your biological parents. I had people check the origin of this item before but couldn’t get many clues. I only know that this item may be related to the royal family of the Nine Nights Dynasty. From the moment your green spirit root appeared, I thought that perhaps your biological parents’ background was not simple.”
Green spirit roots were very precious. For a family clan like the Ye’s, how many children with green spirit roots appeared before?
Nine Nights Dynasty?
Ye Qingtang was stunned.
The place they were in now belongs to the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. The Formidable Heavens Dynasty was made up of many countries, and the royal families of all countries were called the Formidable Heavens Royals. The Nine Nights Dynasty was a rival of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty.
“In this period of time, I am very gratified by your growth. It’s time I pa.s.s this to you. If you have the luck to enter Xuanling Sect in the future, you’ll no longer be the same as ordinary people. If you have the chance, you can find out who your biological parents are.” Ye Qingtang pa.s.sed the jade pendant into Ye Qingtang’s hands. He was blessed that G.o.d gave him such a daughter.
Looking at the jade pendant in her hands, Ye Qingtang felt mixed emotions. Ye Ling died early in her previous life, and, thus, she did not know anything about her parentage.
Yet, unexpectedly…
In this life, she actually found out such a secret.
Ye Qingtang held onto the jade pendant tightly and looked up towards Ye Ling.
“Father, you’ll always be my father.”
Ye Ling smiled. With that one sentence from her, he was already extremely satisfied.
“It’s not early. Go get some rest first. It’s time you prepare for your admission to Xuanling Sect.”
“Noted.” Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and stood up to leave.
“There is one more thing,” Ye Ling said suddenly.
Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks.
“After getting rid of the Great Elder, your second uncle and I removed a group of disloyal people from the residence. We wanted to get rid of Ye Xun as well initially but could not find her on the residence. I’ve found that the Great Elder secretly sent Ye Xun out halfway during the celebration, but I don’t know where she went,” Ye Ling said with a frown.
He adopted two daughters and raised them up with similar attentiveness. The only difference was that many people in the city saw him picking Ye Xun up, so he could not raise her with the name of his biological daughter. However, honestly speaking, Ye Ling had always treated the both of them fairly; Whatever Ye Qingtang had, Ye Xun would also have a share of it.
Yet, these two daughters’ characters were such polar opposites.
He personally raised Ye Xun, a heartless and ungrateful person.
“I know now. I’ll be careful.” Ye Qingtang nodded. The Great Elder was already dead, so they could not ask him where exactly was Ye Xun sent to. Nonetheless, she would be more careful in the future.
“That’s good. Go get some rest.” Ye Ling nodded.
