Chapter 435: Chapter 434 All That Is Past, No Longer Concerns Her

Heritage!

Chu Qianli’s heart jolted.

Wasn’t this statement contradictory?

Wasn’t she simply the daughter of Long Xiyue? What other unusual origin could there be?

Suddenly, Chu Qianli grew anxious and stared at Long Feifan, her agitation evident.

"Uncle, you... you’re not suddenly telling me that I’m not... that I’m not my mother’s daughter..."

But after a moment, she realized that something wasn’t right!

Indeed, concern leads to chaos!

She had never been this foolish before!

"My father isn’t Chu Hongtao!"

This statement was not a question, but an affirmation.

Long Feifan looked at her, and after a long moment, he nodded: "Indeed, he is not."

"What exactly is going on?" This meant she truly wasn’t the seventh young lady of the Duke Residence!

Grandpa wasn’t really her grandpa... The realization was somewhat disheartening.

Yet, there arose an inexplicable glimmer of hope.

"Who is my father?"

She had always felt that the Grand Tutor couldn’t possibly be her real father—what kind of father would bring such harm to his own daughter?

However, the Grand Tutor probably didn’t know she wasn’t his daughter either. If he did, how could he tolerate her creating chaos in the Duke Residence?

What exactly was going on?

"Her Highness Xiyue and Murong Yu came from the same sect. What Murong Yu understands, your mother also knew."

"I understand now. So, my mother also knew the Soul Captivating Technique, right?"

With this thought, many things became clear!

No wonder!

It was unbelievable!

How could a woman like her mother willingly be with a man like the Grand Tutor?

Moreover, the Grand Tutor didn’t have just Long Qianyue; his women were too numerous to count!

So, Long Qianyue marrying the Grand Tutor was just a means to conceal her own heritage.

In fact, did she use the Soul Captivating Technique to make the Grand Tutor believe they were really husband and wife?

"The Grand Tutor is not my father, he truly isn’t my father!"

"You don’t seem upset at all?" Long Feifan frowned.

Shouldn’t one be heartbroken upon learning that their father isn’t their biological father?

"What’s there to be upset about? I have no affection for that ’father,’ and he doesn’t have me in his heart as a daughter."

Although she wasn’t sad, she was incredibly curious and extremely nervous at that moment: "Who exactly is my father?"

Long Feifan looked down at the small hand clutching his sleeve.

Even though she said nothing, he saw the yearning in her eyes.

He felt a complex emotion, knowing that giving her the answer might lead to her disappointment.

"Her Highness Xiyue never revealed it, neither I nor my father know."

Chu Qianli’s fingers tightened, as the smile on her lips slowly stiffened.

So many years had passed; if even he and her grandfather were clueless, then who in the world could possibly know?

Just as she learned of another man being her father, just as she began to hope she might find her dad, she was suddenly told that this father might be someone she could never find in her lifetime.

The desolation in Chu Qianli’s heart was so intense that even Long Feifan could clearly feel it.

"However, Little Lili, you don’t need to despair, maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Not more hope, only to be followed by despair.

Her emotions were being startled and shaken, and it was really quite distressing.

"I know that Her Highness Xiyue keeps a man in her heart."

"Who?" Chu Qianli tightened her grip on Long Feifan’s sleeve again, anxious to death! "Uncle, can you not speak in bits and pieces? Can’t you just say it all at once?"

"But I’m only guessing; I’m not sure myself, so I’m very hesitant."

Otherwise, I would have told her already! He genuinely didn’t know!

"That man, named Nan Chu, I suspect, is His Highness’s second senior brother."

"Where is he now?" As long as she found that man named Nan Chu, she would have a way to know whether she was his daughter or not.

Her method was far more reliable than blood recognition!

"Haven’t I told you already? None of the senior and junior sect siblings know each other’s identities. Maybe His Highness knows, but he has never spoken of it. Perhaps even His Highness doesn’t know."

"So, even if you know my mother has a second senior brother, you have no idea who this second senior brother is or where he comes from?"

Chu Qianli released his sleeve and paced back and forth in the room.

"Does that mean, even Consort Yu might not know?"

But after thinking about it, she couldn’t help but shake her head: "No, Consort Yu knows my mother is Long Xiyue, she might also know the real identity of Nan Chu."

"Maybe, Consort Yu really does know..."

"Little Lili!" Long Feifan suddenly pulled her back, "Where are you going?"

"Me?" Chu Qianli looked up at him, her voice somewhat dull: "I’m not planning to go anywhere, I..."

"You’re already at the door!" Long Feifan knew he shouldn’t have brought this matter up at such a time.

It made her so restless!

Tomorrow they would set off for Longteng Country, and they were about to part ways; if something happened to her in Longteng Country, he wouldn’t be able to protect her!

If he had known, he would have kept quiet!

Chu Qianli lowered her head and realized she had indeed walked to the door and was about to leave.

"Don’t go looking for Consort Yu!" Long Feifan was somewhat frantic!

"Have you forgotten my words? You’re no match for Consort Yu; seeking her out will only bring danger."

"I... I understand, Uncle, don’t worry."

However, her words were somewhat insincere.

Just now, did she really want to seek out Consort Yu?

It seemed that she really did want to confront Consort Yu to clarify who Nan Chu really was and where he was now.

However, having been yanked back by Long Feifan, Chu Qianli genuinely calmed down.

"Sorry, Uncle, I was not in a good state just now."

Chu Qianli heaved a sigh and looked at him, this time seriously: "Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly!"

"I hope you can stick to your word, otherwise it could be very dangerous." Long Feifan was still critiquing himself, thinking he shouldn’t have shared this while things were still uncertain.

"I understand, I truly will take care of myself, Uncle, trust me."

Chu Qianli raised her fingers, rubbing the frown lines on his forehead.

"Uncle, I’m not an impulsive or foolish person; if I were, wouldn’t I have tried countless times already?"

Long Feifan glanced at her but didn’t refute.

Looking out the window, he pondered the hour and finally said: "It’s getting late, I should leave, Little Lili..."

"I promise to take good care of myself!" Chu Qianli declared as if taking an oath.

Only then did Long Feifan allow himself a laugh: "You sly spirit, just remember to protect yourself well, and once the Jade Seal is found, I will come back to Longteng Country to find you immediately."

"Be careful here too, Uncle, and don’t expose your identity at all costs."

"I know."

Long Feifan finally left.

Chu Qianli saw him off at the back door and, watching him depart into the drifting night, felt a pang of melancholy in her heart.

She wasn’t the young lady of the Duke Residence...

Everything in the past seemed completely unrelated to her now.

Should she, on the brink of leaving, take one last look?

Her mind teemed with thoughts, yet she couldn’t resist and slipped into the night, making her way to the Duke Residence.

But unexpectedly, before she saw the Duke, she encountered someone she hadn’t anticipated at all.
