1215 This Woman Is Really Bold (2)

Yu Huang’s expression changed when she heard this, and she looked at Jing Jiaren.

Jing Jiaren’s expression was cold as she said disapprovingly, “Is that so? My clansmen never approved of Aunt and Uncle’s marriage. In the clan, Uncle Yin Mingjue’s name is a taboo. No one can mention it.”

Yu Huang couldn’t help but interrupt and ask, “Why? Mr. Mingjue was a very good person. Why has he become a taboo in the Jing family?”

Hearing Yu Huang’s protectiveness of Yin Mingjue, Jing Jiaren looked at her meaningfully and narrowed her eyes as she asked thoughtfully, “You know my uncle?”

Yu Huang also realized that she had been too worked up just now.

She nodded and explained, “Mr. Mingjue died to save the people of the Holy Spirit Continent. After he died, he was respectfully refered to as Prime Master Yin Mingjue. Every year, during the Sacrifice Festival, thousands of families on the continent will pay their respects to him. In my hometown, Prime Master Yin Mingjue is a hero.”

Yu Huang looked straight at Jing Jiaren fearlessly and asked again, “Why did his name become a taboo in the Jing family?”

“My uncle died?” Jing Jiaren’s focus was on this matter.

Si Cheng and Yu Huang nodded at the same time.

The expression Jing Jiaren’s beautiful face suddenly became sad.

She muttered, “My father probably doesn’t know this news yet.” If he had known, he wouldn’t be so resentful every time he mentioned her uncle.

Si Cheng told Yu Huang, “Jiaren’s aunt, Jing Rujiu, was the woman with the strongest divination power in the Jing family in thousands of years and was the Saintess of the Jing family. The Saintess of the Jing family had a n.o.ble status and pure divination power, so her husband had to be an expert who was also good at divination. However, in the end, she voluntarily gave up her ident.i.ty as a Saintess for a man from a small world and was even kicked out of the Jing family’s genealogy. From then on, the name Yin Mingjue became a taboo in the Jing family.”

“No one is allowed to mention him. Whoever mentions him will be scolded.”

Nodding her head, Jing Jiaren said, “He s.n.a.t.c.hed the Saintess of the Jing family and made the genius bloodline of the Jing family with the strongest divination power wander outside. This is a serious crime. The fact that the elders didn’t kill him is already considered merciful.”

Jing Jiaren looked up at Si Cheng and suddenly said, “Second Uncle, I heard that the daughter of my aunt and uncle is a sickly girl with a fragmented soul. An elder of my clan divined for her and found that the child’s lifeline is only 18 years. Do you know the child’s current whereabouts?”

Si Cheng glanced at Yu Huang from the corner of his eye and said, “Ever since your uncle returned to his hometown, I’ve never received any messages from him. I thought that he forgot to contact me because he was in seclusion. It was only when I met Yu Huang and the others that I found out that your uncle had already…”

Jing Jiaren turned around and asked Yu Huang and the others, “Is my uncle’s daughter still alive?” Yu Huang and the others should know if the hero’s daughter was dead or alive.

“She’s dead,” Sheng Xiao said.

Yu Huang nodded as well. She said, “Yes, after Prime Master Yin Mingjue pa.s.sed away, Miss Yin was persecuted by her uncle and was sent out of the Yin Clan at a young age. She was unable to awaken her beast form for a long time. When she was 18 years old, she was even killed by a fire.”

Hearing this, Jing Jiaren felt a little regretful, but she only felt pity for a second or two before returning to her cold and aloof appearance as she said, “No one can escape the trajectory of destiny.” As she said this, Jing Jiaren glanced at the other side of the tree.

After Ye Qingyang sat on a thick tree branch, he closed his eyes to sleep while hugging his bone sword.

Back then, when Ye Qingyang went to the Jing family to seek protection, Jing Jiaren’s father had divined for Ye Qingyang. He discovered that Ye Qingyang’s lifeline had suddenly changed and he only had 17 years to live.

As her father and the facilitator of this marriage, the Jing family’s head didn’t force Jing Jiaren to cancel her engagement with Ye Qingyang.

However, as the most talented woman in the Jing family after Jing Rujiu, Jing Jiaren was the Saintess nurtured by the entire Jing family, so she always placed the interests and future of the Jing family above all else.

Jing Jiaren had been mature since she was young and knew how to weigh the pros and cons. When she found out that Ye Qingyang’s lifeline was only 17 years, Jing Jiaren understood that Ye Qingyang, whose family was wiped out and whose lifespan was short, was no longer worthy of her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jing Jiaren made a cruel decision.

She wanted to take the initiative to cancel her engagement with Ye Qingyang and cut off ties with Ye Qingyang.

Thus, after Ye Qingyang knelt in front of the Jing family for three days and three nights, instead of getting the Jing family’s rescue, Jing Jiaren mercilessly chased him away.

As the number one divination family on the Divination Continent, the Jing family had always been very confident in their divination skills. However, Ye Qingyang had become the Jing family’s only inaccurate divination in the past hundred years.

Ye Qingyang, whose lifeline had been divined to be for only 17 years, finally became a ghostly cultivator and successfully returned to the human world.

But how many people could defy the heavens and change their fate like Ye Qingyang?

Wasn’t that little girl surnamed Yin unable to live past the age of 18?

Jing Jiaren admired her aunt’s capability very much, but she disdained her aunt for being hopeless romantic. A woman who could abandon her family and family for love was really a shame!

She would never become a hopeless romantic like her aunt.

As for men, having one was like icing on the cake, but even without them, life would go on as usual.

“Professor Cheng is here. It’s time to set off.” Si Cheng patted Jing Jiaren and Yu Huang’s shoulders at the same time as he said, “I hope that your names will appear on the inner academy’s wall of honor after you guys graduate.” After saying that, he even specifically squeezed Yu Huang’s shoulder to cheer her on.

Yu Huang nodded and followed everyone into Cang Lang Academy’s camp.
