Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 408 Lin Qingzhu's Disclosure

"Where's your mother, Zhiyi? Why didn't she join us?" Lin Qingzhu asked her niece after she couldn't find Ximen Yuqing in the mansion.

"My mother is going to our old house to talk to my father." Lin Qingzhu raised an eyebrow upon hearing that, and Chen Zhiyi spoke to her again. "I know my father has done an unforgivable mistake to all of you, but I don't want him to die at the hands of my cousin, so I asked her to meet him and persuade him to leave this country immediately."

"Your father is truly a fool!" They immediately turned to Chen Wei'er. "I warned him to leave the country a few days ago, but he was too arrogant and overconfident with himself. Unfortunately, it's too late now because Li'er will be back soon, and his first target is definitely your father, so he no longer has the chance to avoid his death."

"Aunt Wei'er! Are you really going to allow my cousin to kill my father?" Chen Zhiyi asked her with a very serious look. "After all, my father is your own little brother; do you really have the heart to watch him die?"

"Why should I care if he dies?" Chen Wei'er asked her back with a frown. "Big brother Zhen is our big brother, and he was very kind to your family, but your father was obsessed by wealth and plotted with those bastards to get rid of him."

Upon hearing that, Chen Zhiyi couldn't say anything to reply to her paternal aunt's words, and she herself was truly disappointed with her father because of that. Even so, Chen Hu was still her father, and she certainly didn't want him to die, let alone die at the hands of her cousin.

Lin Qingzhu could only sigh while listening to their conversation, but she felt at a loss as to what to do to prevent that from happening, especially since Chen Li's determination to kill Chen Hu was unwavering. 'Sigh! It seems I have to discuss that matter with Li'er and Meiyi, and I hope he will be willing to drop his plan to kill him.'

Dongfang Wenxin and the other women also did not know what to say about the matter between Chen Li and Chen Hu, and they were also aware that they would not be able to stop him from killing his uncle.

Chen Wei'er then spoke to her niece again. "Anyway, you should call your mother and ask her to come back immediately; I'm afraid something bad will happen to her."

"What do you mean by that, Wei'er? What will happen to Yuqing?" It was Dongfang Wenxin who asked her, and the other women also looked at her in confusion.

Chen Wei'er sighed heavily before telling them her conjecture. "Chen Hu is my brother, so I know quite well about his arrogant and rude character. Since Yuqing decided to divorce him, I'm sure that he won't possibly accept her decision so easily, and he will most likely do bad things to her."

"Are you sure about that, Aunt Wei'er?" Chen Zhiyi asked with a panicked look.

Chen Wei'er immediately turned to her. "You're already this big; can you really not understand your father's character? Have you never seen them fight before?"

"I-" Chen Zhiyi didn't continue her words and ran to her room to call her mother, and Tian Qiu followed her directly to calm her down.

Xiao Xianglin spoke to her best friend. "In that case, we should go to their old house to save Yuqing, or Chen Hu will harm her."

"Xianglin is right; I'm worried about Yuqing, so you two should go over there and save her." Chen Wei'er nodded in agreement to her sister-in-law, and she immediately left together with Xiao Xianglin. "Wenxin, I have to talk to Li'er and Meiyi, so you can meet Yun Zhi at the Chen House first, and I'll catch up with you guys later."

"All right, I will go to the Chen house right now." Dongfang Wenxin then asked the four mature women. "Are you guys going with me to prepare everything?"

"All right, our husband will marry Xian'er tomorrow, so we will help you guys." The Yu sisters, Bei Lian'er and Yang Li, then left the mansion along with Dongfang Wenxin.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu entered the Tianyi Realm, and she asked her children to meet her.

Chen Meiyi was the first to arrive at the bamboo house area and asked her mother directly. "What do you want to talk to me about, Mom?"

"Let's wait for Li'er first, and I'll tell you two something important later."

"Hmm?" Chen Meiyi raised her eyebrows after hearing that. "What important thing do you want to tell us? It's really unusual for you to be secretive like this, and it makes me really curious about it."

"I-"

"What happened, Mom?" Chen Li suddenly asked as he approached them, and he left Bei Yudie in the pagoda to rest.

"Is Yudie asleep now?"

"Yes. Yudie was exhausted, so I let her rest." Chen Li then sat beside her mother and embraced her. "Did something happen outside?"

"Not really." Lin Qingzhu replied by shaking her head. "I want to tell you two about something, and it is very important to the three of us."

"Hmm?" Their mother's unusual behavior perplexed Chen Li and Chen Meiyi.

Lin Qingzhu took a deep breath and prepared herself to face the worst, and she then grabbed her children's hands. "I've kept this matter to myself for over twenty years, but you two are adults now, so I decided to tell you guys the truth."

"The truth? What kind of truth do you want to tell us?"

"The late Brother Zhen was not the biological father of the two of you."

Chen Li and Chen Meiyi were stunned after they heard that, but they were not surprised by that because they had long known the truth. However, they were shocked because Lin Qingzhu had known about it for so long, and she had hidden the matter for so long.

Chen Meiyi then asked her. "How did you know about that, Mom?"

"Aren't you two shocked by this?" Lin Qingzhu asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry, mom." Chen Li said it with a soft sigh. "I've met our father's soul imprint before, so we knew that the late Chen Zhen wasn't our biological father."

"Soul imprint? What is that?"

Chen Meiyi explained it to her. "Mom, it's a thread of soul that cultivators deliberately leave behind in the soul of a person or object, so they can meet and monitor other people or objects that have their soul imprints."

Lin Qingzhu was stunned for some time after she heard that, but her expression was clearly one of shock, and her eyes continued to look at them tremblingly. "You... you mean that the father of both of you is a cultivator like us?"

"Our father is indeed a cultivator, and he is much stronger than all of us." Chen Meiyi replied as she nodded.

"How... how is that possible?" Lin Qingzhu asked as she trembled. "Does... does that mean your father is still alive now?"

"Our father is still alive, and he lives in a faraway realm." After he answered his mother's question, Chen Li then called Sun Xing'er to meet them, and she arrived before them instantly, but she felt confused by Lin Qingzhu's expression.

"What happened, brother? Why did you call me here?"

Chen Li didn't answer her question and told her mother the truth. "Mom, our father is Sun Taiyang, the ruler of a realm called the Three Realm, and Xing'er is his daughter with his wife named Yue Huang."

Sun Xing'er stiffened as she looked at Lin Qingzhu with feelings of worry and guilt, especially since her father was her husband's killer, and he even disguised himself as Chen Zhen and impregnated her twice.

Lin Qingzhu herself didn't say anything, but Chen Li could feel that her body was shaking strongly, and he then told her about his meeting and conversation with Sun Taiyang back then. "Even though he is our biological father, I cannot forgive him for everything he did to you in the past, and I will settle accounts with him after I become strong in the future."

"You don't need to do that, Li'er." Lin Qingzhu replied as she shook her head. "Honestly, I already knew that Brother Chen, who was by my side at that time, was not my real husband after Meiyi was born."

"But how did you know they were different people, Mom?" Chen Meiyi asked as she raised an eyebrow.

Lin Qingzhu looked up at her. "Since you are a healer, you certainly understand modern medical science, right? Before we got married, Brother Zhen and I had a blood test as a marriage requirement, and our blood type is O, so our children should have blood type O as well, but your blood type is A. Therefore, I knew that they were different people, but I was too afraid of the truth, so I kept everything to myself for so many years."

"I see." They nodded in understanding after hearing their mother's explanation.

Chen Meiyi then spoke again. "I didn't expect Little Taiyang to be so stupid, but I also couldn't blame him, especially since he didn't know modern blood tests, so he would never have expected that you would know the truth. However, I didn't expect that you would keep quiet about this matter, and you even gave birth to Li'er."
