Chapter 124 Past Events 1
But... this is not what she wanted!
No one can control her, not even the person she used to be!
The power in his hand dissipated, and Ling Yi turned and disappeared from the spot.
...
Inside the fierce volcano.
Ling Yi followed his divine sense to this place, stepped into the flowing lava, and picked up a fragment.
As destiny unfolds, fragments transform into streams of light that enter the Mountain and River Mirror, illuminating the final piece.
As the landscape mirror image fully illuminated, the mirror spirit reappeared.
Upon seeing Ling Yi again, the Mirror Spirit paused for a moment and said, "Your condition is not good."
Ling Yi replied calmly, "It's alright."
"I sense another summoning power within you." The Mirror Spirit looked at Ling Yi, then frowned, recalling the two past events. "My power was insufficient before, and my understanding of the past was limited. Would you like to take another look?"
Ling Yi looked at the Mountain and River Mirror and said, "Okay."
Shanhe Jing looked at Ling Yi: "But your physical condition isn't very good, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi lowered her eyes to look at her hands. Small cracks appeared on the back of her hands, and blood slowly seeped out. Not only her hands, but also her arms and other parts of her body were like this.
This is the price Tianyan paid for her to unlock her former strength.
I couldn't stand it even after fifteen minutes of it being turned on.
Ling looked at the Mirror Spirit: "It will stop in a little while, don't worry."
"The backlash from enduring immense power." The Mirror Spirit looked at Ling Yi: "Even if you stop, you will fall into a coma and still won't be able to finish watching."
"Then let my divine sense guide me to the past, to witness it firsthand." Ling Yi looked at the Mountain and River Mirror: "Can you do that?"
The Mirror Spirit looked at Ling Yi but did not answer immediately.
He could, but that would mean he wouldn't be able to wake up for a long time, however...
The Mirror of Mountains and Rivers is complete, and it is now up to fate. If he cannot wake up, then he cannot wake up. After all, he was also curious as to why Ling Yi had two past lives.
“Okay.” The Mirror Spirit looked at Ling Yi: “If you direct your consciousness into the past, your body will immediately fall into a coma, but you are injured, and it would be too dangerous if no one took care of you.”
"How could no one care?" Ling Yi chuckled softly upon hearing this. "Don't worry, someone will take care of it."
"Besides us, there's no one else here..." The Mirror Spirit simply couldn't believe it.
Ling Yi said, "They will come."
Mirror Spirit: "Really?"
Ling nodded: "Mm."
Seeing Ling Yi's certainty, the Mirror Spirit said no more and guided Ling Yi's consciousness into the fully illuminated Mountain and River Mirror as a ray of light.
As his consciousness left his body, Ling Yi fell backward, only to be caught by someone.
The newcomer looked at Ling Yi's blood-covered appearance, sighed softly, and disappeared with Ling Yi and Tianming.
...
Past events.
When Ling opened her eyes, what she saw was the scene of Lin Chengze's death.
She had seen this scene in her dreams, in the two past lives that the Mirror Spirit first revealed, and now this was the third time she had seen it.
Ling Yi watched calmly without speaking, but the mirror spirit that followed explained: "The last time the past was shown ended when you opened your eyes in Lin Chengze's arms, and then it ended. Now it is continuing the past that was shown last time."
"Okay," Ling Yi replied, indicating that she understood.
The Mirror Spirit remained silent, watching quietly with Ling Yi.
After Lin Chengze died, Ling Yi woke up and killed everyone who came to hunt them down: the Third Prince, Prime Minister Lin, the royal elders, and everyone except Lin Chengtian.
After killing the others, Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian.
Lin Chengtian met Ling Yi's bloodshot eyes, his own eyes filled with shock: "Ling Yi, you..."
Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian, a glint of light flickering in her red eyes: "Why did you save me?"
"If your answer satisfies me, I may spare your life."
Since it was a matter of life and death, Lin Chengtian didn't say anything nice, but simply said, "I saved you because Chengze wanted to save you."
"He wanted to save you, so I helped him."
Within the Lin family mansion, Lin Chengtian had no feelings for Prime Minister Lin and his wife, because he knew what kind of people they were.
Since his spiritual root was discovered at the age of three, he has only done one thing in the manor: cultivate.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he had to spend all his time cultivating, because his father had high hopes for him.
At first, he simply thought his father was so strict with him because he had high hopes for him, but later he realized that wasn't the case...
Unlike other children, he didn't have time to play or things he liked. He had to train all the time, but even with such strict requirements, he still had time to breathe.
But when are those respite periods?
When there are guests at home, when attending palace banquets, or in any occasion with outsiders, that is when he can catch his breath. If there are no outsiders, all that awaits him is cultivation.
Is placing high hopes on him simply a wish for his success, or is it something to show off?
Lin Chengtian had also resisted, but was met with a reprimand in return.
If the father isn't understanding, what about the mother?
His mother didn't scold him for being disobedient. She would only gently tell him, "Your father is doing this for your own good. Don't go against him. Don't you even listen to your mother anymore?"
At this time, his mother would start to cry, as if he had done something very unfilial.
After a while, he lost all expectation. When he reached a certain age, Lin Chengtian left the mansion for the academy. He would only return home on holidays and not at other times.
His feelings for his parents had long since faded; the only person he felt any pity for was Chengze.
He was seven years old when he left home to enter the academy, while Chengze was four. During the time when he himself was in dire need of protection, this child was the one who was completely ignored.
He is his father's pride and joy; his father values him highly.
Chengze lacks talent, and his father doesn't value him.
At that time, the twins were two years old. Counting the time, Chengze's mother got pregnant when he was one year old, and gave birth to the twins when he was two years old. From the time he got pregnant, Chengze was taken care of by a wet nurse.
What is a mother?
If he doesn't go looking, he won't see the person; if Chengze doesn't go looking, Chengze won't see the existence either.
Occasionally, she would have a sudden burst of kindness and remember that she had an eldest son, so she would send a message to him to come back. If she remembered that she also had a second son, she would ask the wet nurse to bring him over to see her. If either of the two children showed any displeasure, she would start crying, crying that they did not understand her difficulties and did not comprehend her.
Lin Chengtian initially received a message that he would return, but by then he had little expectation of it, so even if the return was unpleasant, he wouldn't be too upset. He could simply return during the holidays if the message didn't come back next time. But Chengze was different.
Unlike him, Chengze could not stay in the academy forever. He longed for it at home, but he could not get it.
He never returned after we received the message. He would only come back for holidays that were unavoidable, and by then the twins were even older.
As the twins grew up, more and more problems arose.
My younger sister is delicate and gentle, and she'll be scared by his cold face, so she doesn't like him.
If my younger brother doesn't reply or replies in a cold tone, it means that my father, mother, and older brother are ignoring me or scolding me.
