The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Seeing that Chu Qianqiu was so curious about his story, Qiu Lao was very pleased and continued to ramble.

"The situation in the other three continents is like this -"

"In the Southern Tranquil Continent, the most famous are the Giant Clan. They rule almost everything in the Southern Tranquil Continent, building the Sky City, constructing the Great Wall for thousands of miles, and establishing the Supreme God's Mansion. However, the Giant Clan fears the deep sea, so they have no contact with the Sea Clan across the sea."

"For example, in the Northern Barren Continent, it is a desolate place with extreme cold and difficult terrain. The most famous are the 'Demon-Sealing Clan' and the 'Ice Cold Clan'. It is also the location of the Demon Realm's gate. Once the gate of the Demon Realm is opened, the Northern Barren Continent will become the territory of the Demon Clan. Moreover, the Demon Clan will also attempt to occupy the other three continents. Fortunately, the gate to the Demon Realm is currently closed."

"Lastly, there is the Western Niuhe Continent. Compared to the other three continents, it is the most peaceful place, inhabited by races that love peace. The leading race there is the Elf Clan. They rely on the towering divine tree and hold absolute dominance over the Western Niuhe Continent, with no one able to invade their territory."

"Qinglian's mother is actually an elf, a woman with long ears, white hair, and emerald green eyes. This child inherited some of her mother's features."

"I see... Qiu Lao, you really know a lot."

...

As these things flowed into Chu Qianqiu's ears, he couldn't help but sigh. The old man in front of him indeed knew a lot. Most of these stories were the first time he had heard them, so it could be considered broadening his horizons.

"This girl's mother is actually an elf, and she came to the Dongsheng Divine Continent ruled by humans. She even married a human and became part of the Ru family in Qingyuan City."

"So, Qiu Lao, when you told me before that Qinglian's parents were killed, does it have something to do with her mother being an elf?"

Expressing his thoughts, Qiu Lao quickly nodded, confirming that it was indeed the case.

"Yes, it's all because of her mother's special identity that brought disaster upon them."

"Her mother's name is 'Ayun'. Back then, for some reason, she came from the Western Niuhe Continent to the Dongsheng Divine Continent and eventually ended up in Qingyuan City of the Rui family, where she met Rujiangchen."

"They quickly fell in love and got married. Rujiangchen kept her secret as an elf from his wife, and the couple enjoyed a period of happy and fulfilling life."

"But good times don't last long. Rujia's alchemy genius, 'Ruguanyu', discovered Ayun's secret as an elf and reported it to the family head, causing a shock within the clan. Moreover, Ruguanyu also developed evil intentions towards Ayun, being extremely interested in her physical body. He wanted to refine an indescribable heaven-defying pill using her body."

"Because Ruguanyu was a rare alchemy genius in the Rui family in a hundred years, highly respected, everyone in the Rui family, including the family head, had to listen to him. Ayun and her husband Rujiangchen, on the other hand, were just a powerless branch of the family, and no one cared about their interests or lives."

"Afterward, Ayun was taken away by Ruguanyu, and the family head of the Rui family ordered all those who knew about it to keep it a secret."

"On that night, Rujiangchen swore to protect Ayun, but in the face of the pressure from the entire family, he was helpless. Helplessly, he didn't know how to save his beloved."

"At this moment, Ayun actually escaped from the hands of that guy Ruguanyu, and her body was being burned by a green flame."

"According to Ayun's own account at the time, she used a special secret technique of the Elf Clan, burning her own life, choosing death over submission."

"During the time she escaped, Ayun also took Rujiangchen and used a secret technique to quickly flee from the Rui family."

"The two of them fled with their newborn child, being hunted down by the Rui family like a dragnet. Rujiangchen, after all, was just an ordinary person and was seriously injured during the escape. In order to let her beloved live, Ayun had no choice but to completely burn her life, finally turning into a seed and letting her husband swallow it, allowing Rujiangchen to escape."

"After Ayun turned into a seed and died, Rujiangchen escaped with the child, all the way to Moon Phoenix City, where we met. I was young at that time and had treated this guy's illness by chance, so we became friends."

"When he arrived at my residence, his eyes were filled with tears and blood, his breath was intermittent, and he was already in a dying state, with fatal injuries all over his body. Even immortals couldn't save him."

"If it weren't for the seed inside his body, coupled with this guy's astonishing perseverance, I'm afraid he would have died on the run long ago."

"After telling me the whole story, this guy's body turned into a sturdy tree and died on the sickbed."

"I took this tree and planted it in front of my own house, watching it grow stronger year after year."

"And the child entrusted to me by that guy has now grown up and become a beautiful young lady."

...

After finishing everything, Old Qiu sighed heavily.

Chu Qianqiu could hear the twists and turns of Qinglian's life and the tragic experiences her parents had endured from this story.

"This girl is indeed quite pitiful. Old Qiu, why don't you tell her the truth?"

"Ah, even if she knows, it may not be a good thing. It's easier not to know."

"Just think about it, the Ru family in Qingyuan City has already become a super big family, suppressing the entire city. That Ru Guanyu, who used to bully her parents, is now a master alchemist, acquainted with many sect masters, and has a great network of influence. It's not good to provoke him."

"If I tell this girl these things, wouldn't it ignite the flames of revenge in her heart and ultimately lead her to a dead end?"

"Young master, you are a calm person. I hope you can protect Qinglian and prevent her from doing anything foolish."

"She is already quite happy to be with you now and not worry about the past. This is also her father's wish."

"These things, you and I know, let them be forgotten."

With that, Old Qiu should have finished explaining everything.

Chu Qianqiu respected Old Qiu's wishes and could understand his thoughts.

Now, Qinglian marrying into his family is already enough happiness. There is no need to worry about more things.

Her former Ru family is too powerful, and it's best not to provoke them.

However, Chu Qianqiu silently remembered everything, including the name Ru Guanyu. He thought that even if he couldn't help Qinglian seek revenge now, there would be opportunities in the future.

Qinglian becoming his wife and concubine makes her a member of the Chu family. How can he let her suffer such great grievances without seeking revenge?

Revenge is Chu Qianqiu's true character.

...

"Alright, I respect your wishes, Old Qiu."

"But can you show me that big tree you mentioned earlier?"
