The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 921: It’s Yun Yubai Who Alerted Them

At this moment, Nanli spoke up in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Yun Jianchu, I have known Yining for many years, and I understand and trust his character."

"He may seem cold on the outside, but in truth, he is a man of great feelings. I believe Crimson Nine Lands’ speculation is not wrong."

"And... I did indeed find an immortal seal within Yun Yubai. This immortal seal is quite remarkable. It can suppress the Demon Bone and Immortal Marrow for many years, allowing them to merge seamlessly without being discovered until the end."

Upon hearing this, Crimson Nine Lands immediately declared, "It must be Celestial Emperor Yining! Who else could possibly do this?"

At this moment, Yun Jianchu withdrew her hand. She was twisting her fingers, showing that her heart was still in turmoil.

Siheng, who had been silent all along, slightly moved his gaze and said, "Master Yun, would you mind if I take a look at the incomplete immortal seal?"

Yun Yubai snapped out of his daze and looked over. He saw Siheng and Nanli sitting side by side, both of them so beautiful they seemed like a painting. A feeling of bitterness rose in his heart.

But he was clear that this feeling was entirely due to the memories in the Glassy Bottle. What mattered now was to uncover the truth from that long-ago event. Even though it had been a thousand years, he still wanted to clear his mother’s name.

He nodded and walked over.

Siheng casually released a surge of spiritual power, which swiftly traveled through Yun Yubai’s body, uncovering traces of the immortal seal.

Immortal seals come in different types and designs.

After Siheng opened his eyes, he seemed to understand the situation. He said, "I’ll be right back."

With that, he stood up and disappeared.

After a while, he returned with a book and opened it to show Nanli first, "Take a look, is this it?"

Nanli took the book and glanced at it, immediately recognizing Yining’s handwriting.

The paper used for these records was no ordinary material. If not intentionally damaged, it could be preserved for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, the text remained perfectly clear.

She looked more carefully and showed a delighted expression, "Hmm? It really is the same immortal seal. Siheng, your memory is impressive!"

Hearing this praise from his wife, Siheng couldn’t help but smile slightly, "It’s not bad."

Qing Feng, always eager to flatter, jumped in and said, "Venerable Master! You’re too modest! You’ve only read this book once, and it was a thousand years ago. If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t remember."

Siheng’s smile immediately faded, and he shot Qing Feng a cold glance, "Don’t compare yourself to me."

Qing Feng immediately felt deflated but couldn’t argue, knowing Siheng was right.

"May I take a look?" Yun Yubai asked.

"Of course," Nanli handed the book to him.

As soon as the book was in his hands, Yun Yubai felt a strange, subtle sensation. This was his father’s book. These were his father’s words. And this... was the immortal seal his father created for him.

Nanli added, "However, this immortal seal requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy. Yining forged the Vajra Umbrella before, and with the immortal seal, it’s no wonder his cultivation suffered greatly afterward. That’s why I had to help seal the Demon Ruin."

Yun Yubai stood frozen in place.

Yun Jianchu suddenly stood up and stared directly at Nanli, blurting out, "But he’s from the Celestial Emperor Realm! There’s nothing that can stop him!"

For thousands of years, she had seen him as someone invincible.

Nanli sighed and his gaze became calm.

"To merge two bloodlines—immortal and demon—isn’t easy. Ordinary Demon Clan members would be fine, but you are from the Asura Clan, royal bloodline, and he is also from the Celestial Emperor Realm. The consumption of so much spiritual energy is only natural."

Ordinary strong parents might pass down their strength to their children, but when it comes to immortal and demon parents, the stronger they are, the more their bloodlines will clash.

Siheng asked again, "It was the villagers near Seven Peaks Sect who found Master Yun as an infant, right?"

Yun Yubai’s heart shook, his throat tightened, and he took a moment to react.

Crimson Glow Peak Master hurriedly nodded, "Exactly!"

Siheng continued, "Celestial Emperor Yining’s immortal residence was located near Seven Peaks Sect. It seems that after he saved Master Yun, he sealed him with the immortal seal, letting him sleep in a certain part of the immortal residence. After many years, the conflict between the two bloodlines in Master Yun’s body grew smaller, and he woke up on his own."

"I see now," Crimson Glow Peak Master said with emotion, "When the villagers found him, there was a note saying that the little disciple’s name was Yun Yubai."

Yun Jianchu was shaken, her body trembling slightly.

"So he... really was acting..." She closed her eyes, and tears began to fall.

Even though their child was rejected by the heavens, he never gave up on him.

She finally remembered. When she had fallen into the forging furnace, she couldn’t bring herself to look back. Even though he usually didn’t show any emotion, a brief look of shock flashed in his eyes, and his lips moved.

At that moment, in the silence, he said two words: "Wait for me."

As a mother, she recalled those moments, and her son’s eyes grew moist as well.

For all these years, he had never been as carefree as others had thought. In the middle of the night, he would wonder why his biological parents had abandoned him, leaving him in the forest.

Now he finally understood. He had never been abandoned. He had always been surrounded by love.

He, a half-immortal, half-demon, once thought he shouldn’t have been born into this world, but now... he wanted to live!

His father had given so much for him, and he would not disappoint his father’s intentions!

As the truth began to unfold, Crimson Nine Lands’ face grew darker. "Celestial Emperor Yining is too cunning! He really played everyone in front of the immortals!"

Yun Yubai remained calm, not responding.

Yun Jianchu, however, couldn’t hold back her temper. "Watch your words! What’s wrong with him protecting his son? Why don’t you talk about how you guys pressured us, forcing our family to ruin!"

Crimson Nine Lands sneered repeatedly, pointing at Yun Yubai. "If he were a normal person, I could accept it. But he saved a half-blood!"

Chu Yang frowned, "Don’t be so hot-headed. How Celestial Emperor Yining decides is his business. It’s not for you to interfere."

Crimson Nine Lands’ eyes turned red, a mix of pity, anger, and regret flashing across his face. "But he became an immortal, he should protect all beings! Instead, he wasted most of his spiritual power on personal matters during the crucial battle! He was foolish! He was selfish! If he had been more reliable, maybe the immortals wouldn’t have fallen, and Master... Master, you wouldn’t have had to... reincarnate and start over!"

Thus, their master-servant bond didn’t need to be broken for so many years!

Chu Yang remained indifferent. "Enough, the past is over. Stop talking about it."

Bai Hao stroked his beard, surprised. "Chu Yang, you’re quite generous. But you, kid, are always encountering good fortune. You’ll probably ascend again in the future."

"Exactly!" Chu Yang grinned. "Dwelling on the past is a waste of time. It’s better to look forward and create new glory."
