...was quite shocked.

Lin Qi's mind was in a complete mess right now, and her emotions were indescribable.

She felt that she understood every word Lin Jue said, but she couldn't quite grasp his meaning.

She pondered for a moment, then asked slowly, "Do you mean that my mother still has six other children in the Upper Realm, none of whom are yours?"

"After you recovered your memories of the upper realm, you still chose to stay in the lower realm. Was it to help me ascend as soon as possible so I could fight with your siblings in the upper realm?"

Lin Jue nodded reservedly.

Lin Qi was even more puzzled. “Why should I fight with them? What am I fighting for?”

If I had kung fu, I'd rather focus on cultivation.

As expected, Lin Qi saw disdain in her biological father's eyes.

"You still don't know your mother's identity. When you reach the Upper Realm in the future, you will naturally understand everything."

Then he said another thing that all parents say, "Everything I do is for your own good."

Lin Qi: "...."

"Father? … Could you tell me specifically what happened between you and Mother? I'm really confused."

In the end, what Lin Qi said was heartfelt.

To save herself from her tragic fate, Lin Qi put in a lot of effort, but in the end, she got stuck on the identity of her biological parents.

Lin Jue's expression calmed somewhat, and he told Lin Qi about his story of going to the lower realm.

I have long admired your mother, but her cold temperament and long-term residence in the Imperial Palace...

Lin Ju said only two words, then the clouds above her head gathered, forming a dark canopy. Inky black thunderbolts crisscrossed through the clouds, and a heavy sense of oppression hung over them.

It seemed like if he said just one more word, the thunderclouds above would strike him down without hesitation.

Such a heavy pressure from the thunder, Lin Qi only took a glance and felt awe.

Even the thunderous fury she unleashed before this pales in comparison, being nothing more than a drizzle.

It seems that Heaven still showed mercy to her.

Lin Jue closed her mouth, skipping over that name.

In short, your mother holds no significance to me. I heard that she is about to be reborn and endure trials, so I followed her steps all the way to the Cangwu Realm.

"My intention was to have a lifetime romance with her. In my reincarnation, I purposely fell into the Lin family, where our destined connection lay."

Lin Qi's face was expressionless, but inside, she was practically going crazy.

Her father is a suck-up, hearing that her mother was going to reincarnate and endure tribulation, he specially followed her down, just for a lifetime of love?

Absolutely outrageous!

Lin Jue is still talking.

When he talked about Gong Shaojun, his eyes were full of tenderness. Lin Qi looked at him and felt a shiver run down her spine.

When it came to mentioning Lin Yun and her mother's accident, Lin Jue's face instantly darkened.

"Unexpectedly, your mother's existence was discovered by the Heavenly Dao of the Cangwu Realm. After you were born, her cultivation increased day by day and she was ostracized by the Heavenly Dao of the Cangwu Realm. She could no longer remain in this realm, but she didn't feel at ease leaving you behind, so she decided to pave the way for your future life before ascending."

"And you? There seems to have been a little accident with the reincarnation here?" Lin Qi asked cautiously.

She dare not mention Lin Yun's name now, for fear that her biological father would be angered.

Lin Jue did indeed show signs of anger, her eyes filled with rage. "Your mother set her sights on the position of head of the Lin family to pave the way for you,"

Lin Qi: "..."

At that time, the head of the Lin family was still Lin Jue. He wouldn't easily change unless there was a major event.

According to a cultivator's lifespan, Lin Jie could at least serve as the head of the Lin family for another five hundred years.

If Gong Shaojun wants to elevate Lin Qi, then he'll have to... bring Lin Jian down.

She stared straight at Lin Jian, feeling a mix of disbelief and understanding. After all, this decisive and ruthless scheming felt entirely in line with her mother's character.

Lin Jue simultaneously raised her eyes, and her gaze met Lin Qi's. Her eyes held a hint of resentment.

He confirmed Lin Qi's guess, "Yes, your mother paved the way for you, set a trap for me, wanting to take my position as head of the family and give it to you."

She brought me, this legendary childhood sweetheart of hers, to the desolate city and on several occasions kindly advised me to take concubines. She declared her heart was devoted to the path of righteousness and she had no desire for romance anymore. If not for you, she could have abdicated in favor of another.

Lin Qi coughed lightly and earnestly reminded, "No matter how your mother schemes, the fact that Lin Yun and her daughter entered the household was your own suggestion. Including raising Lin Yun's mother as a concubine and giving birth to Lin Yun, should have all been your own doing. My mother couldn't have forced you, could she?"

Lin Jule was completely silent and turned black in the face.

That's exactly why he was angry.

He wants to pursue the goddess and have a lifetime romance with her.

Alas, after reincarnation, all memories are erased, becoming an ordinary cultivator.

He lost all of God's advantages and gained all of man's weaknesses.

Gong Shaojun was unaware of the truth, his heart only focused on his daughter. To scheme against him for Lin Qi, he acted foolishly and obediently, falling into her trap.

When Lord Gong returned from his successful military campaign, he was left in shambles!

When Lin Ju recovered consciousness, the goddess was gone. Before leaving, she took his position as head of the family, tarnished his reputation, and even framed him with a illegitimate daughter and mistress.

That was when he was confined by his maternal great-aunt and missed his aunt Lin Yun's illness. He didn't have to face this concubine, either.

Once he regained consciousness, he saw his young daughter, who had been forced to leave home. He also looked at his other daughter, the illegitimate one who was favored by Heaven's purple qi and filled with resentment.

He just wanted to slap the old Lin Jie hard.

Lin Jue did foolish things, but the pot was put on his back?!

He adamantly denied being Lin Jiu.

That's why I said that the Lin Juan of yesterday is not the Lin Juan of today.

Lin Jue gazed at Lin Qi with a hint of resentment, "After a reincarnation journey, the only gain I have is you. If not for you, I would have returned to the upper realm to explain things to your mother long ago."

Lin Qi: What a big bowl of dog blood.

She really didn't know what to say.

Then Lin Ju added something else that shocked her worldview.

"You must cultivate diligently and ascend to the upper realm as soon as possible. Strive to gain your mother's favor, for the rest of my life depends on you."

"Your six older siblings and their father are all formidable opponents. Your father can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you forever."

Lin Qi's face was a little numb. "You really think highly of me?"

Even if she ascended, the cultivation she possessed wouldn't be more than what those from the upper realms were born with.

If a real fight were to break out, how could she possibly win?

If this father were truly her own, wouldn't he be urging her to escape and lay low right now?

Lin Ju looked through her thoughts and said with a profound air, "No, you are different from them. You have an advantage that they can't possess."

"What advantages?" Lin Qi was quite curious. Could it be that she was missing a soul?

Or is she more clever and fearless?

Lin Ju glanced at her with disdain, but still continued, "Your mother has four daughters and three sons. You are the only one she personally raised. Among all her children, she only has a few feelings for you, which is an advantage that others do not have."

Lin Qi raised her head and looked at the sky.

The script she crossed over into wasn't about cultivating immortals, but a palace intrigue version specializing in sex, right?

(The End)
