After An Luo Qi disappeared from her sight, An Ling Yue directly met Physician Yao in her room.
"Grandmother, tomorrow I'll take part in a hunting competition." Said An Ling Yue softly.
Physician Yao was not surprised by An Ling Yue's decision. Her Yue'er had now grown up, she could not continuously pressure her to always be by her side. Even so, Physician Yao was still worried about An Ling Yue's safety.
"Yue'er, have you decided yet? Your father would have been there by then. What if he sees you?" Grandma Yao was anxious.
"It's okay Grandma, since Grandma said that the Emperor wanted to kill me when I was born, from then on I don't have a father!" An Ling Yue narrowed her eyes.
All this time An Ling Yue had always complied with Physician Yao's request not to come to the big event of the empire. Because Physician Yao was so scared that An Ling Yue met the Emperor. If An Ling Yue was killed by the emperor, I don't know what Physician Yao would do next.
But this time An Ling Yue will attend the big event of the empire, which is a hunting competition between princes and imperial princesses. And if the Emperor wanted to kill him, he, An Ling Yue, would fight to the end.
"I am the son of Mother Feng Ling, the most domineering woman in the Jianyu continent. Why should I be afraid of the Emperor?"
Physician Yao sighed helplessly. This was one of the advantages of An Ling Yue, she was extremely stubborn. Whatever decision he had made, he would never back down to do so.
An Ling Yue only said about entering the hunting competition, but did not say about the bet that she and An Luo Qi agreed on. He did not want Physician Yao to be even more anxious if he found out about the bet.
"Alright if that's what Yue'er wants to do. From this moment on, Grandma would always support whatever Yue'er's decision was. Now follow Grandma! Grandma's gonna show you something."
An Ling Yue followed Physician Yao who walked towards a closet. When Physician Yao shifted the closet, there was a secret door behind her.
An Ling Yue calmly watched Physician Yao open the secret door.
"Yue'er, come on in!"
The moment An Ling Yue entered the room, the door automatically closed. And the originally dark room became bright with torch light around the room.
The room was not very spacious, other than a few burning torches, there was a stone table right in the middle of the room. They approached the stone table.
"Yue'er, this time you'll be out of Huang Dong's imperial territory for the first time. And at your 15-year-old age, Grandma will tell you a secret. This secret has been Grandma's damper for over 15 years." The words Physician Yao made An Ling Yue's heart tremble slightly. He calmly listened to Physician Yao continue.
"Yue'er, you're not Emperor An Li Huang's son." Physician Yao noticed An Ling Yue's reaction. However there was no surprised expression on the girl's face.
"Yue'er, aren't you surprised?"
"Grandmother Yao, I actually already know!"
"Do you know?" Now Physician Yao who was made was shocked by An Ling Yue.
"Of course I know, how can a shameless bastard like Emperor An Li Huang be my father?" Said An Ling Yue casually, she rubbed her chin with an evil smile on the corner of her lips.
"Uhuk uhuk ..." Physician Yao choked on her own saliva when she heard An Ling Yue's reply. Then he shook his head with a smile, feeling funny with the rude attitude of his favorite grandson.
"Who is my father?" An Ling Yue was very curious about her father.
"Grandma doesn't know either."
"Grandma doesn't know?" An Ling Yue was surprised.
"We'll know when you drip your blood on this stone table."
Without asking any more, An Ling Yue immediately did as Physician Yao ordered. This stone table was deliberately designed by Feng Ling using her blood so that only An Ling Yue could open it. The reason for that was because An Ling Yue was the flesh blood of Feng Ling.
Immediately, the stone table began to shake. The tremors were getting stronger as if they were going to be destroyed at any moment. After a few minutes, the stone table seemed to be split into pieces. The part of the split section forms a rectangular hole.
When the tremors on the stone table really stopped, An Ling Yue looked into the square hole curiously.
Inside the hole was a wooden box. An Ling Yue heartily took out the box.
Slowly the land An Ling Yue opened the lid of the box. In the box there is a book that began to turn yellow due to age eating. Not only that, a pair of red crescent moon earrings lay on top of the book.
"Grandma!" An Ling Yue looked at Physician Yao.
"At that time your mother just told me that behind this stone table was something I had to give her son. When I asked him what it was, he simply replied that the thing inside would be used by his daughter in the future. When I asked what if the one she gave birth to was a son, Ling'er replied with certainty that she would give birth to a daughter. And it turns out that what she said was the truth, she gave birth to you."
Physician Yao continued, "Your mother asked me to tell you when you were 15. I was planning to tell you tomorrow, but since you're already here, so I don't have to put it off anymore."
An Ling Yue was speechless hearing the explanation from her grandmother. Then he sat down on the stone table and began to turn the pages of the book.
On the first page of the book was a picture of a pair of red crescent moon earrings exactly the same as the pair of crescent moon earrings in An Ling Yue's hand.
While reading that sentence, An Ling Yue immediately looked at Physician Yao. Physician Yao who saw that An Ling Yue was looking at him with a strange look, became curious. He sat down beside An Ling Yue and went along to read the book.
He was also very surprised after reading it. "At that time the name 'An Ling Yue' just flashed through my mind. Your mother didn't even tell me that she wanted to name you by this name. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Yet An Ling Yue felt that this was not just a coincidence. There must be a secret behind it.
Then An Ling Yue opened the next page.
'Yue'er, right now you must be 15 years old. Forgive me for not being able to raise you like any other mother, for I know that, after giving birth to you, I will not be able to survive. It's not your fault, but I've been destined not to live with you.'
'Yue'er, there are a lot of secrets I want to tell you. But for now, there are only a few things you need to know. Yue'er, Emperor An Li Huang is not your father. We never even had physical contact. As for why everything can go up to this point, I always make her fall asleep before it manages to touch me. I made her dream like we were in a relationship, even though it disgusted me so much. I have no other way. The reason for that was because I was hiding in the Huang Dong empire. And because of that too I pretended to love that man!'
'Yue'er, the biggest secret is that you don't have a father. Next you have to find out for yourself. But before you know much, you need to increase your strength. That way you can protect yourself and those around you.'
'You must be wondering why you were born without spiritual roots, Yue'er, once again you have to find out for yourself. I can only tell you that you can cultivate by using these earrings. How to cultivate, you'll find out after you use it.'
"Huh, mother, why are you so mysterious?" An Ling Yue let out a long sigh. He had a huge headache with the new information he was getting. What made him even more headache was the secret he had to solve.
"Well, for now I'll just know what I need to know. As for the others I'll look for the answer once I get the power."
Physician Yao who had been reading the book in An Ling Yue's hands, was very surprised by the information she had obtained. Although he knew that An Li Huang was not An Ling Yue's father, he thought that An Ling Yue must be someone else's son. However what he did not expect was that An Ling Yue actually did not have a father. Then who exactly was An Ling Yue? If An Ling Yue did not have a father, how could Feng Ling get pregnant and give birth to a daughter?
In his contemplation, Physician Yao immediately woke up hearing An Ling Yue continuously calling out to him.
"Grandma, what's wrong? You're so surprised to know that I don't have a father? Are you afraid that I'm not human?"
"Hey, what did Yue'er say? How can you not be human? You were obviously born from Ling'er's womb, so it's certain that Grandma's favorite granddaughter is human. As for Yue'er having a Father or not, Yue'er was still Grandma Yao's favorite granddaughter."
Hearing the words of Physician Yao, An Ling Yue felt a warm current flowing in her heart. This was his grandmother, the only relative he had.
An Ling Yue hugged Physician Yao tightly. There was a resolve in his eyes, he had to immediately gain the strength to protect the person he loved the most.
...***...
The Nalan family home.
An Luo Qi knocked on the door of Nalan Huo's room.
"Lake in!"
After hearing a voice from within, An Luo Qi entered the room.
Inside the room, Nalan Huo was recording something on a piece of paper. After seeing that the one who entered was his favorite grandson, Nalan Huo immediately put down the brush that was in his hand.
"Qi'er, what's wrong?"
"Grandfather, you have to help me!"
"What can you do for your grandfather's favorite grandson?"
"Grandfather, Qi'er wants to kill An Ling Yue, that trash." Said An Luo Qi with a gloomy face.
"Qi'er, why bother with that trash? She's just a vain girl, it'll just dirty your hands by killing her."
"But Grandpa, I hate him so much. He's very ruining my view. Especially that face, I really wanted to destroy it." After saying that, An Luo Qi looked at his grandfather, "Grandfather, you should help me get rid of that idiot."
Looking at his beloved granddaughter who kept urging him, Nalan Huo sighed and agreed to the girl's request. "Alright, Grandfather will help Qi'er get rid of that trash. Now tell Grandpa, what should Grandpa do?"
Hearing his grandfather's words, An Luo Qi was overjoyed. "Grandfather, you must kill An Ling Yue while in the Feilong forest."
After telling all the plans to her grandfather, An Luo Qi left Nalan Huo's room and walked towards the palace.
Seeing that An Luo Qi had left, Nalan Huo immediately called out to someone.
After a while, a person in all-black clothes appeared from the void.
Nalan Huo took out a blank paper and started writing something on it. After that he gave the paper to the black figure in front of him.
"Give this to Lan'er."
After nodding his head, the figure immediately disappeared in the air just as he had appeared before.
