PFC Chapter 258 The truth of the matter
Chapter 258 The truth of the matter
Su Yuchen didn't understand why Yun Yao always thought of herself as an unforgivable demon. In his eyes, she deserved the best of everything in the world, like the bright moon in the azure sky.
Yun Yao had no idea what Su Yuchen was thinking; at this moment, she was completely absorbed in her own world.
"Su Yuchen, there are so many people in the world, do you know why I came to you?" Yun Yao asked in a low voice.
Su Yuchen did not respond, his eyes fixed on the woman beside the chair, a look of worry on his face.
“Thousands of years ago, I discovered that I have an unbreakable bond with one person’s soul. When he is born, I am awake; when he dies, I fall into an endless slumber until his soul awakens in the next life.”
"The common saying about reincarnation is true."
"During this time, I don't know how many lifetimes I went through and how many people I searched for."
"I tried to find out from them what kind of connection exists between me and that soul, but I always failed." Yun Yao's voice was low and tinged with pain.
"I once thought I would continue searching aimlessly, but in this life, I met you."
"From the moment you were able to absorb my magic power, I knew that this life was going to come to an end."
"But when that day actually came, I was afraid."
"I fear that the result of my long search will be a tragedy, and I fear even more that you and I will repeat the same mistakes." Yun Yao's voice echoed in the empty hall, sounding particularly desolate.
Even though he was prepared to hear her confess everything, Su Yuchen still felt like his heart was being torn apart.
"Wanwan, do you know something?"
Yun Yao paused slightly, looking at Su Yuchen with a worried expression, and changed the subject if she was afraid he would continue to ask questions.
"I haven't figured out the entanglement between us yet, but I saw something else in that safe that was about you."
Yun Yao gently raised her hand, and a stack of documents fell into Su Yuchen's hands.
"Su Yuchen, you had a serious illness when you were young. Didn't you feel anything was wrong at the time?"
Su Yuchen opened the documents in his hand and read them carefully, but soon he looked up.
“Su Weiwen was not elected as the head of the family not because he couldn’t get over your mother’s death, but because he did things that were harmful to the Su family,” Yun Yao said slowly.
Su Yuchen gave a bitter smile, placed the documents in his hand on the table next to him, and his eyes darkened slightly.
“Wanwan, my sudden illness that time was indeed because of him,” Su Yuchen said, his hands clenching tightly at his sides.
The documents Yun Yao gave to Su Yuchen were none other than written documents detailing Su Weiwen's punishment by the Elders' Hall for plotting against members of the Su family.
In other words, Su Weiwen wanted to kill his own son.
When Yun Yao first saw it, she also found it hard to understand and even thought Su Weiwen was heartless and crazy. But if she put herself in his shoes, she would probably feel the same way.
“Although Su Weiwen is from a wealthy family, he has a sincere love. He gave everything he had to your mother, Xiao Yun. He loves Xiao Yun more than he loves himself.” Yun Yao handed another letter of repentance to Su Yuchen.
What is written above is precisely Su Weiwen's original intention in doing this.
He said that the most regrettable thing in his life was letting Xiao Yun leave the Su family alone. If he had had the courage to disobey the old lady at that time, would Xiao Yun have left in a huff? If he had chased after her at that time, would his beloved have been safe? Therefore, he hates everyone in the Su family.
But he knew that Xiao Yun was most worried about Su Yuchen after she left, and that she probably wouldn't be at peace even in the afterlife. In that case, their family could reunite in the underworld.
His first task was to send Su Yuchen to Xiao Yun's side, but he didn't expect the child to be so lucky and survive. It must have been Xiao Yun who didn't want to see him like this.
……
This confession was several pages long. The first half was filled with regret, while the second half was about how to make amends to Su Yuchen in accordance with Xiao Yun's wishes.
After reading it, Su Yuchen's expression remained unchanged.
"Su Yuchen, you already knew."
Su Yuchen did not respond, which meant he acquiesced.
He sighed and folded the papers.
"That's why I didn't break off relations with him; his feelings for my mother truly moved me."
Yun Yao sat down on the bench, crossed her long legs, and looked languid.
"So, you already knew that Su Weiwen was behind this poisoning?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone questioning.
Yun Yao was afraid that the person who poisoned Su Yuchen was after her, so she first ruthlessly severed their relationship, then used swift and decisive measures to expel the Su family from the capital, and even went so far as to expose her identity to unite the four great families into one!
In the end, it turns out he already knew that Su Weiwen was the mastermind behind all this?
Seeing Yun Yao pressing him for answers, Su Yuchen strode with his long legs toward the person sitting in the high seat.
"Hey!" Yun Yao realized his intention and became a little anxious.
There is a protective barrier under her chair; if anyone breaks in, those who are not strong enough will have their souls scattered!
By the time Yun Yao teleported in front of Su Yuchen, he already had one foot inside the restriction circle.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Yun Yao looked down from the top of his head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was unharmed.
Wait, how come he's alright?
Su Yuchen is currently just a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
To ensure his safety, Yun Yao looked Su Yuchen up and down.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Su Yuchen pulled her back, somewhat puzzled.
"That shouldn't be the case. I placed a protective barrier under this chair. Ordinary people can't break in. How come you're completely unharmed?"
Hearing her say that, Su Yuchen also felt strange. He knew Yun Yao's strength. Since she was so nervous, the restrictions here must be very powerful.
However, he did not experience any physical discomfort.
"Alright, Wanwan, maybe this restriction has come to life and recognizes me as one of yours?"
Yun Yao glanced at him. Could it really be like that?
"Aren't you angry anymore?" Su Yuchen gently took her hand.
Yun Yao: "..." I forgot about that. Is it too late to be angry now?
"When did you find out?"
"Not much earlier than you, probably... a few days ago."
"Then why didn't you tell me that Su Weiwen was the mastermind behind it all?"
"I'm not sure yet."
Yun Yao: "..." Fine, fine!
Yun Yao waved her hand helplessly, clearly too lazy to pursue the matter further.
"Then why didn't you do anything? He's tried to kill you three times already."
“Just as you said, last time he wanted me to go and keep my mother company, but what’s the reason this time? I want to find out,” Su Yuchen said sternly.
From the moment Su Yuchen gained his own power, he discovered that Su Weiwen was the culprit who caused his childhood illness. Upon receiving the results, he severed all ties with the Su family.
The only things he cared about were Su Lan and Yun Zichen.
Seeing this, Yun Yao did not stop her any further.
If it were her, she would definitely rush back to the Su family when she finds out the outcome and question him about why he treated her this way.
But Su Yuchen... all these years, he has lived with this hatred on his shoulders. How lonely and painful he must have been.
