Liu Yunfeng didn't care that Liu Yunyan saw through his thoughts. Instead, he gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Yan'er, don't worry about me. As long as you are by my side, I will be very happy."

However, when Liu Yunyan looked at Liu Yunfeng in front of her, her heart was filled with endless sadness.

After a fierce struggle in her heart, she finally made up her mind: "Sister, the sun is shining brightly today, the weather is really good! Yan'er wants to go to Hanguang Temple for a walk. I have encountered many troubles recently. I hope to pay homage to the gods and pray for the Buddha's blessing to get rid of the bad luck on my body. Is that okay?"

Hearing the words "Hanguang Temple", Liu Yunfeng's hands froze slightly, and she was silent for a long time before responding: "Okay, since Yan'er wants to go, then sister will go with you." After that, she gently pinched Liu Yunyan's small nose, "Let's go, we'll set off now."

It was autumn, and the air was slightly cool. Liu Yunfeng hugged Liu Yunyan tightly, and the two of them rode in a carriage, swaying towards Hanguang Temple.

For Liu Yunyan, this was her first visit here.

Entering the temple, Liu Yunyan knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, closed her eyes and prayed silently. Liu Yunfeng stood aside and watched quietly, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

After finishing the prayer, Liu Yunyan slowly stood up, turned to look at Liu Yunfeng, and smiled: "Sister, let's go out for a walk."

Liu Yunfeng nodded, and the two walked out of the temple side by side, strolling along the mountain path. The autumn wind blew their hair, bringing bursts of coolness.

"Yan'er, if you have anything on your mind, you might as well tell your sister." Liu Yunfeng broke the silence.

Liu Yunyan hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said softly: "Sister, if I hide something from you, will you be angry?"

Liu Yunfeng's heart was shocked, "What does Yan'er mean by this?"

Liu Yunyan turned her head, avoiding Liu Yunfeng's gaze, and looked into the distance thoughtfully.

"Sister, let's go take a look ahead." The two of them were already far away from the main hall, and ahead was the back mountain of Hanguang Temple.

Unconsciously, the two came to a tombstone without words. Liu Yunfeng stared at the barren, overgrown cemetery in front of him, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart.

She slowly squatted down and asked in confusion: "It's really strange. There are so many graves here, but why is there no word on this tombstone?"

Liu Yunyan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her inner turmoil. She said softly, "Sister, do you want to know who is buried in this tomb?"

Hearing this, Liu Yunfeng turned his head and looked at Liu Yunyan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. She responded: "Oh? Could it be that Yan'er knows the owner of this tomb without a tombstone?"

Liu Yunyan nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, decided to tell a story.

"Twenty-six years ago, a pregnant woman came to this temple to pray devoutly. She sincerely hoped that her baby would be born safely, and she also prayed that her husband would have a smooth life. Unfortunately, at this moment, a group of bandits suddenly besieged the mountain. The frightened pregnant woman gave birth prematurely to a baby girl, but she closed her eyes forever. It is said that the mother held the little girl tightly in her arms until her death, fearing that she would suffer the slightest harm..." At this point, Liu Yunyan's voice began to tremble, tears welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer continue.

Liu Yunfeng suddenly fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength. How could she not know who Liu Yunyan was talking about? She asked with a trembling voice, "Yan'er... who do you think is buried here?"

"That's your biological mother - Chen Ge," Liu Yunyan's voice trembled slightly.

Liu Yunfeng stared at the grave in front of him with his eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief, "But my mother has clearly been staying in the Liu Mansion all this time?"

"The one in the Liu Mansion was just an impersonator of your mother's identity. The real Chen Ge had long since turned into a pile of bones. She tried her best to give birth to you, but in the end she didn't even have the energy to see you..." Liu Yunyan said as she stared at Liu Yunfeng who was lying on the ground, then slowly squatted down.

"If she were still alive, you would definitely be her most doted and cherished child. You would have been raised by your parents since childhood, growing up happily under their careful protection, without worries..." Liu Yunyan looked at Liu Yunfeng, whose face was covered with tears, and felt so distressed that she could not help but hug him gently and called softly, "Sister..."

Liu Yunfeng raised his head, looked at Liu Yunyan, and said with a sob: "Yan'er, I don't know why, I suddenly feel so sad."

Liu Yunyan wiped away her tears and said firmly: "Sister, those bandits were driven away. They attacked the mountain in broad daylight and separated you and your daughter. We can't let them get away with it. We must find them all."

Liu Yunfeng clenched her fists tightly, with a firm and resolute light in her eyes. She stood up suddenly and made a vow in her heart: No matter what, she must find those hateful bandits and make them receive the due punishment for their crimes!

Liu Yunfeng never expected that things would develop to this extent. Since she was a child, she had always resented other children for having their mothers' care and pampering, while she mostly received endless reproaches and scoldings from her mother.

However, the moment she knew the truth, Liu Yunfeng felt as if the whole world had collapsed. She opened her eyes wide, her face full of astonishment, unable to accept the cruel reality before her.

"Yan'er, please, can you tell me everything that happened back then again in detail? I really want to understand what happened..." Liu Yunfeng whispered softly while carefully clearing the weeds around Chen Ge's grave.

Liu Yunyan stared at her sister quietly, witnessing her doing all this silently, but found herself powerless and unable to help at all.

"Okay..." Liu Yunyan took a deep breath and finally slowly agreed.

. . .

After Liu Yunyan told Liu Yunfeng the whole story, Liu Yunfeng also cleared the last weed in front of the grave. As if all her strength had been exhausted, Liu Yunfeng sat weakly in front of her mother's grave.

"well,"

Liu Yunyan was unable to persuade her, nor could she persuade herself. She could only sit there with Liu Yunfeng and wait for her to slowly come to her senses. She understood Liu Yunfeng and knew better than anyone how much Liu Yunfeng longed for maternal love.

The collapse of her sense of belief is likely to cause her to break down all of a sudden.

Liu Yunfeng sat in front of the grave with empty eyes, as if his whole body had been drained away.

Liu Yunyan looked at her distressedly and tried to comfort her: "Sister, if you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in your heart."

Liu Yunfeng's eyes were already blurred by tears. She murmured in a low voice, "I don't understand why fate wants to play such a trick on our family?"

The wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness.

Liu Yunfeng seemed to see her mother's figure in the wind. She was gently stroking her face and expressing her longing for her daughter.

Liu Yunfeng stretched out his hand, trying to catch the illusory figure, but his hand was empty.

She cried helplessly, venting her inner pain.

Liu Yunyan patted Liu Yunfeng's back gently, giving her silent support.

After a long time, Liu Yunfeng's crying gradually stopped. She looked up at the sky with a firmness in her eyes.

"Yan'er, I have to be strong. If my mother is still alive, she definitely wouldn't want to see me so depressed. I'm going to find those bandits and avenge my mother!"

"Okay, I'll help you destroy them all."

"But how do we find those bandits?" Liu Yunyan asked worriedly.

Liu Yunfeng pondered for a moment and said, "We can start with the clues from that year and investigate the origin and whereabouts of those bandits."

Liu Yunyan nodded, "Well, that's a good idea. Also, maybe we can go find some people in the martial arts world for help. They are well-informed and may know something."

Liu Yunfeng stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back to the Liu Mansion first, sort out our thoughts, and then make a long-term plan."

The two of them supported each other and slowly left Hanguang Temple.

Their backs appeared extremely determined in the afterglow of the setting sun.
