In response to Ye Yu’s question,

the woman calmly said, “I am Fu Changhong, Dai’er’s aunt.”

"Dai'er" is the name Fu Wangdai uses in the village.

Since she was an aunt, that made her a senior.

Ye Yu didn’t think much of it and was about to bow in greeting.

But he heard Fu Changhong speak again, “I never expected that the illustrious son of the Jixia Academy, He Jieying, would be hiding away in this mountain forest.

Is it really just for a beauty?”

“Do you know who your wife is?”

As Fu Changhong’s voice fell,

Fu Wangdai returned from gathering herbs.

Upon seeing Fu Changhong in the room, her expression changed drastically!

She hurriedly said, “Aunt, what are you doing here?”

“Can we talk outside? Please?”

Fu Changhong’s face darkened as she coldly replied, “What is there to talk about?

Look at how you are now.

Dressed in coarse clothes and carrying a basket,

you’re nothing but a village woman!

Do you deserve your surname?”

Fu Wangdai lowered her head slightly, feeling very guilty.

But she still quietly said, “Aunt, can we talk outside? I’m begging you!”

Seeing Fu Wangdai like this,

Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown.

Why did it feel like this woman named Fu Changhong was not here with good intentions?

Not only did she know his identity,

but after appearing, Fu Wangdai had also become extremely reserved.

This feeling was quite unpleasant.

Just then,

Ye Yu heard Fu Changhong’s inner voice.

“Dai’er, are you also afraid?

You should be afraid!

Eight years ago, you left the Five Flower Prison without a word!

And now you’re living a small life here?

Your fate cannot be just this; you must obediently be a weapon in my hands!

I will now reveal both your identities.

Let you two love and kill each other!

When your dearest one dies by your hands, you will naturally return to me!”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Yu’s gaze gradually turned cold.

An aunt who wanted to use her niece as a weapon was certainly no good person!

Fu Changhong coldly said, “There’s no need to go outside to talk; we can talk right here!

Do you know who this man is?”

“He is…”

Before Fu Changhong could finish her sentence, Ye Yu decisively interrupted, “Fu Wangdai, I am the son of the Grand Elder Ye Qingyu and He Jieying from the Jixia Academy.

This is my true identity.”

Fu Wangdai’s face turned pale with shock.

But she didn’t dwell on Ye Yu’s background; instead, she muttered, “You know my identity?”

Previously,

Fu Wangdai had never dared to tell Ye Yu her real name.

She was afraid that once Ye Yu found out her true identity,

he would no longer want her.

But now, Ye Yu had directly spoken her real name.

What on earth was going on? When did Ye Yu find out?

Upon hearing this inner voice,

Ye Yu replied, “From the very beginning, I knew your identity.

I wanted to see what you were doing here.

Over time, I developed feelings for you.

Now, I’m willing to live an ordinary life with you.”

But I’m not happy about the way this woman speaks; she seems to harbor ill intentions!

After saying this, Ye Yu held Fu Wangdai’s hand and provocatively looked at Fu Changhong.

The latter’s expression became quite strange.

She couldn’t help but take half a step back.

Why was this kid so calm?

The Jixia Academy and the Five Flower Prison were supposed to be sworn enemies, right?

Why did he seem unfazed?

Fu Changhong’s brows furrowed tightly.

Her mind raced as she coldly said, “You’re talking nonsense!

Fu Wangdai, come here!

Righteousness and evil cannot coexist!

This kid keeps you company day and night, but he only wants to get rid of you!”

“You must not let emotions blind your eyes.”

Upon hearing these words,

Fu Wangdai’s expression dimmed instantly.

But she did not let go of Ye Yu’s hand; instead, she tightened her grip.

This small gesture was entirely caught by Fu Changhong.

She immediately sensed something was off.

It seemed that this girl had already fallen deeply in love?

No, this cannot be allowed!

Fu Changhong spoke again, “Come with me, or you will surely die at this man’s hands!”

Fu Wangdai shouted, “Stop it! Aunt, please give me some space!

Once I figure things out, I will come to find you!

But for now, please leave!”

Upon hearing this,

a flash of resentment crossed Fu Changhong’s eyes.

She slowly left the thatched cottage.

In her heart, she knew that if this continued, Fu Wangdai would not leave with her.

Rather than completely tearing apart their relationship,

it would be better to observe the situation.

If Fu Wangdai truly chose Ye Yu, she had plenty of ways to tear them apart!

After she left,

Fu Wangdai’s eyes were red as she looked up at Ye Yu.

“You already knew my identity, why didn’t you say anything?”

Ye Yu gently replied, “If I had said it, would you still be with me?”

Fu Wangdai was momentarily stunned.

Yes, if Ye Yu had revealed her identity from the start,

then forget about being together later.

Perhaps on the very night they first met,

Fu Wangdai would have struck down Ye Yu!

But…

In the next moment, Ye Yu suddenly pulled Fu Wangdai into his arms.

He whispered softly, “I’m not lying. Over the years, we have loved each other so deeply. Love is never false.

Whether you’re a mountain village girl or the leader of the demonic path, I only love you!”

Upon hearing this confession, Fu Wangdai was overwhelmed with joy and tears.

As long as Ye Yu didn’t disdain her identity and didn’t abandon her,

that was a tremendous blessing.

Besides that, nothing else mattered!

After a moment,

once Fu Wangdai’s emotions stabilized, Ye Yu asked his doubts.

“Why did the leader of the demonic path choose to live in this mountain village?

And what’s the deal with that woman, Fu Changhong?”

Then, with Fu Wangdai’s explanation, Ye Yu finally understood everything.

It turned out that the previous leader of the Five Flower Prison, Fu Changqing, was Fu Wangdai’s father.

But before Fu Wangdai could understand the situation,

her parents had already perished.

It was her aunt, Fu Changhong, who raised her.

Since childhood, Fu Wangdai’s life had revolved around two things: cultivation and revenge!

According to Fu Changhong,

Fu Wangdai’s parents had died due to someone’s conspiracy!

To avenge her family, she had to become stronger continuously!
