Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

During the holidays, Hao Ling Jiuyao had heard countless neighbors say that Boss Xuan doted on his sister Anian. Of course, she felt indignant and sad at first, thinking that her position was being replaced by someone else, even though she had been mentally prepared in advance.

But the later it got, the more she wanted to know what had happened between her parents. She vaguely remembered that it was her mother Xiling Heng who took the initiative to divorce her father and took her back to Chaoyang Peak.

As for her mother who later died on the battlefield and never came back, she was not sent back to Haoling Kingdom, but was sent to Queen Mother of Jade Mountain instead. At that time, she could receive various things from Haoling Kingdom every year. Just when she thought that as long as she practiced well, she could go back to see her father, she suddenly heard about her mother Xiling Heng's romantic scandal.

So she couldn't even stay in Yushan. At that time, she only wanted to go back to Haoling to ask her father whether those rumors were true. However, she underestimated her own cultivation level, and she didn't think about how a child could survive in the wilderness. So after she got lost, although she tried to go back many times, she was always interrupted and persecuted by people with ulterior motives.

Until she met the vixen who had imprisoned her for a long time, she no longer had the desire to go back on her own initiative. Fortunately, she ended up in Qingshui Town and settled down there.

As soon as the holiday was over, Hao Ling Jiuyao went straight to Jiang Xinxin and asked her to restore her appearance. She wanted to start facing her past.

Jiang Xinxin certainly knew what happened to Hao Ling Jiuyao in Qingshui Town, and she had nothing but admiration for her courage to finally face the past. However, she was worried that Hao Ling Jiuyao would be hurt, so she confirmed again: "Have you really thought about it? Xiaoyao, are you sure you have the courage to face everything?"

Although Hao Ling Jiu Yao's eyes were still gleaming with tears, her expression was serious and earnest, "Master, I have thought about it. Everyone is moving forward. I can't just grow older without growing wiser. If I do that, one day in the future, I will probably hate myself to death."

Since Hao Ling Jiuyao has made up her mind, Jiang Xinxin will certainly not continue to hesitate.

The greatest function of the anti-aging flower in Hao Ling Jiuyao's body is that it can change a person's appearance and image at will. Just like now, Hao Ling Jiuyao has the image of a sloppy middle-aged person. Except for occasional feminine movements, her appearance and even her voice have nothing to do with women. This is the magic of the anti-aging flower.

But because Hao Ling Jiuyao had been hiding from place to place during those years, and because she could not control her consciousness and thoughts, her appearance and image could even change several times in just a few breaths. Gradually, she could not even remember what she looked like, so she could not change herself back to her original appearance over the years.

Jiang Xinxin's method of restoring Hao Ling Jiuyao's appearance was also very simple. She only needed to take out the anti-aging flower sealed between her eyebrows, wait for Hao Ling Jiuyao to reveal her true appearance, and then return the anti-aging flower to her and let her refine it completely.

At the beginning, it was Bai Di and Xiling Heng who worked together to cast a spell to seal the Rejuvenation Flower in Hao Ling Jiuyao's body. Originally, if someone wanted to take it out, only the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain had such power. But Jiang Xinxin was different. Even if most of her cultivation was sealed, she was still comparable to the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain. So after she told Hao Ling Jiuyao not to resist, she took out the Rejuvenation Flower easily.

At this point, Hao Ling Jiuyao slowly revealed her true appearance. She looked more like her father Chi Chen, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Thanks to Xiling Heng's help, Hao Ling Jiuyao looked gorgeous but not charming. Her bright eyes and white teeth made her look very dignified.

Jiang Xinxin felt delighted when she saw such a beauty, and gave her a set of robes that she particularly liked. Hao Ling Jiuyao looked at her pink clothes which were similar in style to Jiang Xinxin's, and felt very happy. Then she saw her own appearance in the water mirror summoned by Jiang Xinxin, even though she had never seen Chi Chen. When she recalled the appearance of her parents, her heart sank gradually, and even the smile on her face gradually turned into bitterness.

"I……"

Jiang Xinxin gently pulled Hao Ling Jiuyao to sit down and soothed her softly, "Every life cannot choose its own birth, but you were born in the love and expectation of your parents. Even the White Emperor had high hopes for you. Moreover, in my opinion, your parents cannot choose their own origin and position. Except for failing you, they have no regrets and are worthy of the people who expected them."

Hao Ling Jiuyao still couldn't accept that she was not the daughter of the White Emperor, and choked up: "Then..."

Jiang Xinxin continued, "Your father Chichen was originally the beast king of the southwest. He was born and raised with all kinds of beasts as companions, and he was very direct in his conduct and actions. Later, he was adopted as an adopted son by King Chenrong, and gradually built up military merits, becoming the great General Chichen who made the enemy tremble with fear."

"As for the rumors you heard about him killing people, it depends on who is evaluating him like that."

"And he and your mother Xiling Heng knew each other first and fell in love first, but at that time Chen Rong and Xi Yan were not stable enough, and both sides were willing to go to war, so they could not be together anyway."

"As for the marriage between Xiling Heng and Bai Di, it was a purely political marriage from the beginning. Bai Di needed your mother's identity to escort him to the throne, and your mother wanted to ensure that Xi Yan would not be attacked from all sides when he went to war with Chen Rong."

Hao Ling Jiuyao had no political accomplishments, and at this moment she actually asked: "Then there is no emotion at all? I clearly remember that my father... His Majesty the White Emperor loved my mother very much..."

Jiang Xinxin sighed softly, "From the beginning, your mother made an agreement with Baidi. She used her identity to win over various forces for Baidi to use, and Baidi needed to provide you, who was already in his belly, with a legitimate identity to cover up the fact that your father was Chichen."

“Love is not scarce. Although I don’t understand why love has become a rare thing that everyone pursues and a regret that most people cannot get, you have to understand that eight out of ten things are not as you wish. Love occupies a very small place. If you still cannot get it after pursuing it with all your strength, you should let go in time and work towards a new direction.”

Hao Ling Jiuyao understood what was said, but she could not accept that the loving parents in her memory was actually a false illusion created for her. For a moment, her self-loathing became even worse.

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but sigh again and explained, "Bai Di treats you well, not only for your mother's sake, but mostly for his good friend, your uncle, Prince Qingyang."

"When Baidi was still a prince, although he was the only legitimate prince of Haoling Kingdom, in fact, the most favored concubine in the harem of the former King Haoling was a concubine from the Xihe tribe. Baidi suffered a lot at the hands of that concubine and was even on the verge of death many times. Later, he met your uncle Qingyang and, with Qingyang's help, he was able to initially establish his own power."

"But unfortunately, at that time, there was also a Tongyu clan in the harem of Xiyan Kingdom who was similar to the concubine of Xihe tribe. Your grandfather took advantage of the rise of Tongyu clan in the harem to attack the power of your grandmother Xiling Lei, so your uncles all lost their lives because of this. In fact, if it weren't for the mother of Xuan, the head of the Ruoshui clan, who killed Tongyu clan's son in front of the spirit, your uncles' blood debt would never be recovered."

These bloody truths made Hao Ling Jiuyao extremely painful. She couldn't even believe that the suffering she had endured over the years might have been her own fault, so she became completely withdrawn and even put the matter of writing a book on hold.
