Feng Ji!

Lin Xiaosu’s heart was pounding; his daughter’s name was Feng Ji!

This name coincidentally matched the name that had surfaced in his mind...

Du Yuexin’s voice turned melancholic: "Feng Ji had just broken through to the Enlightenment Realm and ventured into the Jianghu to find her father. I left her soul lamp behind, yet, ten years later, the soul lamp extinguished, and she passed away! It was after these experiences that I lost all attachment to the mortal world and truly entered the Empty Gate."

As her voice fell, she seemed on the verge of collapse.

"Senior, please do not despair." Lin Xiaosu said, "Your daughter might still be alive! No... I am almost certain she is alive!"

Du Yuexin trembled all over: "Why... why are you so certain?"

"Because I saw a girl with the Reincarnation Bloodline in Kun Cang, the place where Senior Gu Jian is. Her name was Feng Ji. She admitted she was once a skeleton, saved by the Master of Shenghua Valley using the wonderful Technique, and she referred to me as a fellow disciple. Upon seeing you, Senior, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as your appearance is almost identical to hers."

This was the truth.

After her appearance normalized, Feng Ji wore a mask most of the time.

The only exception was the day she intended to forcibly open the Reincarnation Gate.

With her cultivation, opening the Reincarnation Gate was a sure way to enter the cycle of reincarnation, never to return.

To allow Lin Xiaosu to find her in the next Reincarnation Road, she took off the mask she never wanted to remove and gave him a fleeting glance.

On that face, the two Reincarnation Seals had already flown away.

She was extraordinarily beautiful and flawless.

Lin Xiaosu remembered every contour of that face vividly.

Now, Du Yuexin’s face in front of him was almost a perfect match.

This was the likeness of mother and daughter in genetics, though many mothers and daughters do not resemble each other this closely. They both share the Reincarnation Bloodline, perhaps with an invisible hand in the cycle subtly correcting everything on their faces.

Du Yuexin said, "Do you... do you have her token?"

"A token... Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I have a drop of her blood, Senior, you might want to examine it!"

"A drop of blood? Quick! Let me see it!" Du Yuexin was so excited.

With a movement of Lin Xiaosu’s finger, the drop of blood from Feng Ji appeared at his fingertip.

As soon as Du Yuexin touched this drop of blood, her entire demeanor changed: "It’s her! It really is her! She... she found where her father was, but before meeting him, she was poisoned, causing the extinguishing of the soul lamp. I saw the soul lamp go out but could not see her reincarnate and be reborn..."

Lin Xiaosu was overjoyed.

Truly overjoyed.

Feng Ji had told him many times; she did not remember her origins. Now, isn’t everything clear?

In some stories, logic is necessary.

Feng Ji appeared in Kun Cang, not by coincidence. She was originally searching for her father, and indeed, she found the closest place to him but met with misfortune.

If she did not bear the Reincarnation Bloodline, her story would have ended there, but she did!

She was reborn.

After her rebirth, she lost her memory, forgetting her quest to find her father.

And her father, Gu Jian Youchen, never even considered that the single night under Sword Gate Pass would have resulted in a daughter, but he felt a small pang of guilt, sensing Feng Ji’s Reincarnation Bloodline. With the intent to repay the Reincarnation Sect, he took her and Feng Ji to the Two Realms Mountain, imparting to Feng Ji the sword move her mother was most skilled in: Other Shore Flower.

If Feng Ji had not worn a mask, with a face almost identical to her mother’s, Gu Jian Youchen surely would have realized something. However, at that time, Feng Ji, with a youthful heart, feared that the Reincarnation Seal on her face would ruin her image in this young master’s eyes, and guarded her mask more diligently than her belt, leading Gu Jian Youchen to miss recognizing his daughter right in front of him...

This is the impermanence of the world.

Suddenly, Du Yuexin’s expression shifted dramatically: "This drop of blood is her original blood... Mr. Su, you..."

Her voice carried hesitation with a hint of disbelief.

This drop of blood contained the true meaning of the Reincarnation Bloodline, and it was her daughter’s original blood.

What is original blood?

Maiden’s blood it is!

A woman’s maiden’s blood, in a man’s hands, what does this signify?

Lin Xiaosu inwardly cursed, thoughts racing, and bowed: "The son-in-law pays respects to Mother in law!"

Du Yuexin’s body trembled slightly...

What she suspected had become reality.

The man before her had indeed met her daughter and became her daughter’s husband.

This man was her son-in-law!

Originally residing in solitude behind Luohua Temple, cultivated for thousands of years, entirely alone; she thought there was no one in the world worth her concern, no memories left to hold onto.

Today, an openly hostile court official towards Luohua Temple arrives, telling her the heartless man who wronged her life never actually abandoned her.

The daughter she bore for that heartless man never truly left her either.

And this daughter found this official here to be her husband.

In the blink of an eye, a person with no relatives had gained a husband, a daughter, and a son-in-law, ending up with descendants aplenty...

"Mr... Lin’er!" Du Yuexin gently exhaled, "Where is Feng Ji now?"

"She entered this world even earlier than I did; she went back to the Reincarnation Sect!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Mother in law, she hasn’t yet formed her Primordial Spirit, so she cannot recall past life matters. She simply feels her Reincarnation Bloodline likely has some connection to the Reincarnation Sect, so she went there. She hopes to use the strength of the Reincarnation Sect to fight by my side and put an end to the great calamity of that world."
