Chapter 628: 630, resembles Chu Jin! (First update)

"When the time is ripe, you will naturally know my name. Time is almost up, I should be going. Take good care of yourself and do not let me down!" After finishing her words, the woman in blue turned and left.

"Benefactor! Wait." Zhao Yiling followed the footsteps of the woman in blue.

"What is it?" The woman in blue stopped walking, her tone already somewhat impatient.

Zhao Yiling hesitantly spoke, "Benefactor, I am now homeless. May I ask, can you provide me with shelter...?"

Whether it was before or now, Zhao Yiling has always been a very intelligent person. She knows what situations are to her advantage and understands the ways of survival. The reason for her previous failure was her pride.

She was too proud, so proud that in the end, all that was left was arrogance.

So, she died.

This time, she would not make the same mistakes!

She would clearly recognize her own situation! When it’s time to bow, she would bow. When it’s time to yield, she would yield. Doing so would not harm her.

Besides, this woman in blue was unfathomable, and could be someone who could help her.

If it had been before, she would never have spoken such words.

But times have changed.

She is no longer the proud, graceful number one beauty of Superpower World.

Now, she is just Zhao Yiling.

The woman in blue glanced at her before saying, "Just wait, your father will naturally come here to pick you up in ten minutes." With that, the woman in blue vanished into thin air.

"Benefactor!" Zhao Yiling looked urgently around.

However, there was no longer any trace of the woman in blue in the vicinity. If it weren’t for the secret tome in Zhao Yiling’s hand, she would have almost thought that everything that had just occurred was an illusion.

After ten minutes, indeed, a figure in a long robe appeared in the forest. Because of the distance, his facial features were not clear, but his silhouette was very familiar.

Zhao Yiling squinted her eyes, filled with doubt at her core.

The man approaching her was not Zhao Shendong, the original Zhao Yiling’s father.

Yet the woman in blue had said her father would come to pick her up.

In the past, she was Zheng Chuyi.

As Zheng Chuyi, her parents had passed away long ago; she had no father, so who was this person?

The figure was getting increasingly closer to her.

Only then did Zhao Yiling see clearly that this man was none other than the Elder of Superpower World, Li Chi!

Why had the Elder come?

Zhao Yiling frowned slightly, somewhat unclear about the current situation.

On the night of the extreme yin, she had made an enemy of the Mo family. Could it be that the Elder was here to cause trouble for her?

The Elder had always hoped that Mo Zhixuan would return to Superpower World. Now that she had completely offended the Mo family, it was not impossible for the Elder to come to trouble her in an attempt to curry favor with the Mo family.

Thinking this, Zhao Yiling wanted to find somewhere to hide.

She was no match for the Elder as she was now!

Just as Zhao Yiling turned to leave, she suddenly remembered that she was no longer Zheng Chuyi. She then stopped in her tracks and continued walking forward.

However, the Elder suddenly picked up speed behind her, ran in front of Zhao Yiling, and reached out to block her way.

"Chuyi!" The Elder was very excited upon seeing her, his eyes filled with tears as he nearly choked up speaking.

"Chuyi! My daughter! Your father has finally seen you!" The Elder hugged Zheng Chuyi tightly, overcome with emotion and weeping.

Zhao Yiling was stunned!

What did the Elder call her?

Daughter?!

How did she suddenly become the Elder’s daughter?

What in the world is going on?

And how did the Elder know she was Zheng Chuyi?

"Elder, please have some respect!" Zhao Yiling directly pushed the Elder away, her complexion sour.

The Elder looked at her, tears streaming down, and said, "Chuyi! I’m your father!"

The scene was extremely moving.

"My father’s name is Zheng Tianzun!" Zhao Yiling frowned slightly, "Elder, have you been traumatized or something?"

"Chuyi, I really am your father!"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Chuyi turned and walked away, fuming with anger.

The Elder once again appeared in front of Zhao Yiling, "Chuyi, even if you don’t want to admit it, you truly are my daughter!"

She was a descendent of the Zheng family! She carried the Bloodline of Fire Bathing in her veins!

For a moment, Zhao Yiling found it hard to accept the reality that she was not a descendent of the Zheng family.

How could the Elder possibly be her father?

Her father was a hero in the Superpower World! Her brother was also a hero of the Superpower World! She was the progeny of heroes.

Thinking this, Zhao Yiling took several steps back, maintaining a safe distance from the Elder.

The Elder sighed deeply, "It’s all my fault, all my fault, you have every reason not to recognize me, but child, everything I did was for your sake, I truly am your biological father, back in the day..."

While weeping, the Elder recounted the events of the past.

It went like this: that year, Zheng Tianzun’s wife gave birth to a lovely daughter, and coincidentally at that time, the Elder’s lover also had a daughter. In the Superpower World back then, having a child out of wedlock was illegal and, if discovered, the Elder would lose his position.

So, the Elder prepared to secretly dispose of his newborn daughter. Just when he put the child in a basket and was about to throw her away, he passed by the Zheng family’s residence and faintly heard the cries of a baby from inside.

As luck would have it, Zheng Tianzun and his wife were not at home, so the Elder used a disguise technique and stealthily entered the Zheng residence to switch the babies of the two families.

Newborn babies all look quite similar, so Zheng Tianzun and his wife never imagined that their child had already been switched.

Therefore, Zheng Chuyi was not the flesh and blood of the Zheng family at all; the real Zheng family heiress had long been secretly discarded by the Elder!

"Child! I’m sorry! It’s all my fault!" the Elder said as he knelt in front of Zhao Yiling.

"No! What you’re saying is a lie! A lie!" Zhao Yiling’s emotions started to crumble as she swung away the Elder’s hand. She found it hard to accept this fact; how could she not be a descendent of the Zheng family?

This was the only pride she had left!

Because she was a descendent of the Zheng family, with all those heroes’ haloes around her, she had lived so comfortably for all these years. She had received so many envious glances!

Zhao Yiling held her head with both hands, crying in agony.

Now, Heaven was actually taking away the last bit of pride she had!

"Chuyi, calm down. Dad will bring you back to the Superpower World; Dad will acknowledge you openly and rightly! Not only that, Dad will also take revenge for you! Dad will personally kill Mo Zhixuan and Jun Huang!"

If Zheng Chuyi were still Zheng Chuyi, the Elder wouldn’t have the guts to openly acknowledge her because of what happened on the night of extreme yin. Her name had already been removed from the Superpower World; she was now the shame of the Superpower World!

But now, Zheng Chuyi had become Zhao Yiling, and no matter how clever the people in the Superpower World were, they would never think that these two were the same person!

Hearing this, Zhao Yiling gradually calmed down.

In fact, wasn’t this a good thing for her?

She had a new identity, a new backer, and could even return to the Superpower World to become the Elder’s legitimate eldest daughter! More importantly, Zhao Yiling’s current face was extremely beautiful; with a little use of Rejuvenation Pills, she might even be able to reclaim the title of the Superpower World’s number one beauty.

Plus, the Elder’s influence in the Superpower World was so vast. With his help, she would surely accomplish much more with half the effort!

After all, the identity of Zheng Chuyi couldn’t be cleared now!

Whether I am Zheng Chuyi is no longer important!

As Zhao Yiling was aware, the title of Superpower World’s number one beauty had already changed hands!

Now, Mu Xianxian is regarded as the first beauty of the Superpower World.

"Dad!" Zhao Yiling slowly lifted her eyes to look at the Elder, then said, "I am willing to return with you."

"Good, good, good!" The Elder wept with joy. After so many years, he had finally waited for this day! Finally, he heard his daughter call him "dad." Upon hearing the word "dad," the Elder felt that no matter how much he sacrificed, it was all worth it.

"Good, good, good!" The Elder quickly nodded, "My dear daughter, Dad will take you home now."

"Mhm." Zhao Yiling nodded gently and affectionately took the Elder’s arm, saying warmly, "Dad, let’s go."

That one word "dad" was said so naturally, it made the Elder very happy.

In a corner where the Elder couldn’t see, the corners of Zhao Yiling’s lips were raised in a sneer of triumph.

In the absence of Mo Zhixuan these days, the Elder’s influence in the Superpower World grew stronger. Before Mo Zhixuan returned, all matters big and small within the Superpower World were dictated solely by him.

Before meeting Zhao Yiling, the Elder had arranged everything, so the process of recognizing his daughter went smoothly.

That day, all the citizens of the Superpower World learned that the Elder recognized a beautiful daughter from the secular world, named Zhao Yiling.

Consequently, Zhao Yiling’s life underwent an earth-shattering change.

The luxurious life she once led in the Superpower World suddenly returned. Once, she thought she could never return to the Superpower World in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, in the end, she did!

In the end, the winner is still me, Zheng Chuyi!

No! Now I should be called Zhao Yiling!

"Miss, Miss Mu Xianxian is here to visit you. May I ask if you will see her or not?" The servant approached and broke Zhao Yiling’s train of thought.

"See her. Let her come in," Zhao Yiling nodded and smiled.

Being the former number one beauty, she was of course going to meet Mu Xianxian, the current number one beauty.

In the past, Zheng Chuyi looked down from a high place and had never taken a trivial person like Mu Xianxian seriously. Yet, in just a few months, Mu Xianxian had become the enviable first beauty everyone admired.

She was curious to see what abilities Mu Xianxian actually had!

"Yes, Miss." The servant went to do as told.

"Wait," Zhao Yiling said, her tone gentle and her gaze filled with kindliness.

"Do you have any other instructions, Miss?" The servant turned to look at her.

"Xiaoyi, do you think this outfit is suitable for meeting the first beauty?" Zhao Yiling stood up and asked tentatively.

Today, Zhao Yiling was dressed in a plain, button-front, long dress adorned with occasional orchid embroidery. This made her appear endearing, like the girl next door.

Now, Zhao Yiling no longer favored the glaringly bright red but preferred simpler and cleaner apparel and makeup.

Indeed, she had a different kind of charm about her.

The servant was very fond of Zhao Yiling, the lady recognized en route, because she had no airs about her. She was also very kind and beautiful.

Such a person was very popular wherever she went.

"It’s beautiful," Xiaoyi nodded eagerly and flattered, "Whatever you wear looks good on you, Miss. I think you are even prettier than Miss Mu. If only you had returned a few days earlier, the title of the first beauty would undoubtedly have belonged to you instead of Mu Xianxian!"

These words struck right at Zhao Yiling’s heart. Even though they were very pleasing to hear, she still pretended to be unaffected and said with feigned worry, "Silly Xiaoyi, you may say that in front of me, but don’t go talking nonsense outside. Now go greet Miss Mu."

"Yes, Miss."

As Xiaoyi turned away, a smug smile spread across Zhao Yiling’s face.

Shortly afterward, Mu Xianxian entered the room from outside, accompanied by two other ladies from prominent families of the Superpower World.

Those former minions of Zheng Chuyi now all looked up to Mu Xianxian as their leader.

A cold light flashed imperceptibly in Zhao Yiling’s beautiful eyes.

How the tables have turned!

Previously, Zhao Yiling wouldn’t even bother giving a second glance to someone like Mu Xianxian, but now, it was such a person who had usurped her position as the number one beauty, and Zhao Yiling couldn’t help feeling somewhat disgruntled.

This Mu Xianxian, with mediocre talent, couldn’t even compare to a little finger of hers. Zhao Yiling wondered how the people of the Superpower World could have possibly chosen such a person as the number one beauty! Ridiculous!

Although that’s what she thought, Zhao Yiling’s lips still curled into a kind smile towards Mu Xianxian.

"So this is Sister Ling," Mu Xianxian said with a beaming smile as she stepped forward and took Zhao Yiling’s hand, very affectionately.

Two ladies with the aura of Lotus standing together was a sure sign that a drama was about to unfold!

Dressed in glittering finery and with their chins held high, Mu Xianxian and the other ladies from prominent families behind her carried themselves with pride. Despite addressing Zhao Yiling as ’little sister,’ in their hearts, they didn’t take her seriously at all!

A lower-class person from the secular realm... What right did she have to be their sister?

These people, led by Mu Xianxian, had come today specifically to pick a fight.

Or rather, to watch Zhao Yiling make a fool of herself.

After all, Zhao Yiling was still publicly known as the Elder’s daughter, so they couldn’t just attack her physically. They had to overwhelm her with their presence, to teach her the difference between mud and the bright moon—incapable of comparison!

These ladies, having grown up in the Superpower World, were excessively proud and haughty. They believed people from the secular world were only fit to be their servants. Suddenly, a wild card from the secular realm was trying to stand on equal footing with them, which they found unbearable!

A person from the secular realm was bound to be utterly disgraceful in front of them!

All they had to do was sit back and enjoy the show.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sister Xianxian, and the other two sisters as well. I am Zhao Yiling," Zhao Yiling greeted them with impeccable manners.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xianxian and the other ladies were slightly taken aback.

Wasn’t Zhao Yiling from the secular world?

Why then, upon meeting them, did she show no signs of feeling inferior?

And what surprised Mu Xianxian and the other two even more was that Zhao Yiling, supposedly born in the secular world, was surrounded with an aura of special abilities—and very profound abilities at that!

Even Mu Xianxian might not necessarily be a match for Zhao Yiling!

What was going on?

How could a superpowered individual possibly emerge from the secular world, where Spiritual Energy was so sparse?

Mu Xianxian frowned discreetly.

She had a feeling that Zhao Yiling was not as simple as she had thought.

And most importantly, the first impression Zhao Yiling gave her was uncannily familiar!

Just like—

Chu Jin!

Yes! It was her!

Whether it was her dress or her makeup, Zhao Yiling seemed to be imitating Chu Jin.

Chu Jin was no pushover; an ordinary commoner who had managed to climb up the ranks by attaching herself to Mo Zhixuan. Could there be a connection between Zhao Yiling and Chu Jin?

While Mu Xianxian was taking in Zhao Yiling, Zhao Yiling was also sizing her up.

Moreover, Zhao Yiling was very calm, and Mu Xianxian couldn’t shake off the intuition that there was a layer of disdain in Zhao Yiling’s eyes as she looked at her!

Mu Xianxian was astounded by her audacity; how dare this mere commoner look at her with such disdain!

The corners of Mu Xianxian’s mouth curled up in a smile, her tone gentle, "Won’t Sister Ling invite us in to sit for a while?"

"This way, sisters," Zhao Yiling said as she stepped aside to let the others into the house first, then directed a servant, "Xiaoyi, bring the best tea and pastries from our house to entertain the sisters."

"Certainly, miss." The servants had to admit, Zhao Yiling’s performance was quite beyond their expectations.
