“What does that mean?” Li Tianming didn’t understand that last sentence.

“He said… the only way was through passing it down his bloodline.
I thought it was a joke, so I agreed.
And that was that.
I thought I was dreaming….” Wei Jing seemed confused herself at this point.

“Bloodline? Does that mean me?” Li Tianming was stupefied.
“That’s it?”

“Yes.
He sent me away and said he would lure those people away.”

“Then?”

“I never saw him again.” Wei Jing looked slightly pained.

“You sure you didn’t meet a scammer and fall for his honeyed words? This might be some playboy you met,” Li Tianming said, stunned.
That was exactly how it seemed.

Fabricating some bold, imaginative stories and making himself look profound and humorous.
Then, to top it off, he landed a finishing blow on the young girl with an act of heroism and care.

“Nonsense.
I know that’s not what happened.
You never met him, so you don’t know how special he was.
Also, he did like me,” Wei Jing said with certainty.

“She’s beyond hope,” Li Tianming said with some pain.

“Otherwise, where do you think the ten eggs in your lifebound space come from?” Wei Jing asked.

The ten Primordial Chaos Beasts!

Li Tianming was startled to hear about the thing that had changed his destiny.
It meant Wei Jing might be right.
The terrifying Primordial Chaos Beasts were an indication of how mysterious the man’s background was.

Who were the ones chasing him down?

Li Tianming was no longer laughing.
He finally had confirmation that his identity was linked to the Primordial Chaos Beasts.

“He said he’d come find me in a month’s time, if he was still alive.” Wei Jing lowered her head.
She had returned to Wei Manor and waited.

One month.

Two months.

Three months.
Still, no one had shown up, and she discovered she was pregnant.

“So he died?”

“Perhaps.
Or, he cheated me as you said.”

“Why would someone like him trick a lady from the countryside like you?” Li Tianming smiled.

“Who knows?” Wei Jing shrugged helplessly.
“At the time, I was panicking, sure that he was dead.
Brother Yang treated me well then.
However, we grew up together, so I found him too overly familiar.
With you added to the mix, things felt even harder.”

“I probed your grandfather and determined he wouldn’t accept me giving birth in Wei Manor.
I wanted to give birth to you, but I didn’t want to let Brother Yang help me, as that would hurt him… but as my belly got bigger, it would become unconcealable.
So, my plan was to leave first, and vanish for a time.
It just so happened that Li Yanfeng was wooing me then, and somehow, he found out I was pregnant.
I was afraid he ’d spread it around and humiliate your grandfather when others found out.”

“Li Yanfeng proposed that I marry him, and he would be your father.
I knew he wanted the authority of the Wei Manor.
It would’ve been a mutually beneficial arrangement, since I wanted to give birth to you in Ignispolis as well.
I admit, I did accept it partially out of panic.
However, your grandfather was even more furious after seeing Li Yanfeng, and ended up chasing us out of the city.

“So Li Yanfeng lost his dream of joining Wei Manor.
Then, I got Lifesbane after giving birth to you, and he gained nothing in the end.
He’d already announced you were his son, so he couldn’t change his mind and become a laughingstock.
That’s how you ended up growing up in Flamehaven, and how I ended up spending twenty hard years there.”

Li Tianming finally understood the messy circumstances of his birth.

“Your real father hasn’t appeared for twenty years.
As I grew older, I even began to feel like it was all a dream.
Or perhaps, like you said, he was just some heartless person who tricked me.
So, I wanted to spend the rest of my life in Flamehaven.
I also slowly started to understand Li Yanfeng.
We were publicly husband and wife after all.

“However, you know he got more and more upset because of these matters.
In the end, he chased us away when Lightning Manor extended an olive branch to him.
So, it’s complicated for me to talk about Li Yanfeng.
Still, he did give us a place to live for twenty years.”

Li Yanfeng had become an accomplice to villains, helping Lightning Manor cripple Wei Zikun and crush Wei Tianxiong, before finally being crippled himself by Sage Chen.
Wei Zikun was Wei Jing’s younger brother, which made the situation all the more complicated.

Li Tianming finally knew why she had hidden it from him for twenty years.
Even she had some parts she was doubtful of.

“I understand.
Although the past twenty years were hard, the past is past,” Li Tianming said.

“Yes.” Despite the downpour outside, the room remained peaceful.

“Do you still hold out hope that he’ll come back?” Li Tianming asked.

“Who?”

“My real father.”

“Not anymore.
Hmph, he’s left me hanging for twenty years now!” Wei Jing said angrily.

Li Tianming smiled.
Now, everything had been cleared up.
Up next was for the final dash toward tomorrow’s battle.

When he stood up, Wei Jing suddenly said, “If you see him one day, you’ll immediately recognize him.”

“How?”

“He has a black arm, exactly the same as you.
It has hexagonal scales, and an eye on the palm.
You also don’t need to change your surname, because he’s also surnamed Li,” Wei Jing said seriously.

“What’s his name?”

“Li Muyang,” Wei Jing said uncomfortably.

“Don’t overthink it.
It’s just a coincidence, he has nothing to do with your Uncle Yang.”

One was Mu Yang, and one was Li Muyang.
What a… coincidence.
