Once she made a breakthrough, she would attract countless people to compete! If she was not careful, the enemy might take her away.
Then, the white phoenix would be blamed.

In the backyard.
No one was allowed to step foot in the backyard because of Feng Ruqing’s command.
In this noisy General Manor, the backyard was the only quiet place.
Xiao Ya hurriedly ran over, and she immediately saw the young girl standing in front of Feng Ruqing. Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.
Tang Yin seemed to have sensed something and turned around. She frowned as her gaze fell upon Xiao Ya.
“Xiao Ya, the Duan family no longer exists. There’s no need for you and Xiao Yin to hide it.” Feng Ruqing stood up. Her red dress moved in the wind like a fire engulfing her.
Tang Yin’s eyes turned to Feng Ruqing as she looked at her blankly. “Xiao Qing, what do you mean by that? The Duan family? What you mean there’s no need to hide?”
“Xiao Yin…” Feng Ruqing smiled faintly and raised her hand to hold Tang Yin’s hand.
The young girl’s hand was cold at the moment.
“Xiao Yin…” Feng Ruqing continued, “Since you’ve come today, there are things you must face, and you have the right to know!”
“Xiao Qing, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Tang Yin was about to cry from the burning anger, her eyes tearful and pitiful as she looked at Feng Ruqing.
“Xiao Yin, do you remember the second master of the Tang family? Your father?” Feng Ruqing asked in a deep voice.
Tang Yin’s heart grew heavy whenever someone brought up the Tang family. “Well, I remember. He was the one who treated me well in the Tang family. Oh, the elder was also nice to me.”
Feng Ruqing raised her eyes to stare intently at Tang Yin and continued, “Then, have you ever wondered why you only have your father and no mother?”
Tang Yin was stunned; her mind was blank. “Father said that my mother died while giving birth to me, and that is why I only have him and no mother.”
Feng Ruqing sighed. “Xiao Yin, actually… The second master of the Tang family was never married. He brought you home and said that he had married a wife outside to avoid any bad rumors. You are not his biological daughter.”
This sentence, like a thunderbolt, struck Tang Yin’s mind. She trembled, and she looked at Feng Ruqing incredulously.
“Xiao Qing, what are you talking about? I’m not my father’s daughter…”
‘Impossible!’
She was the Tang family’s young lady, the daughter of the second master! She was brought home from the outside!
Tang Yin bit her lip hard. Her beautiful face turned pale; she shook her head vigorously and took a few steps back.
“Xiao Qing, you are lying to me, aren’t you? If I was picked up from somewhere… Then, who are my real parents? Why did they abandon me? Am I not cute enough for them?” Tears flowed from Tang Yin’s eyes, and her voice was tinged with despair and grief.
Xiao Ya felt a stinging pain in her heart. She wanted to go up to the young girl and tell her that she would never abandon her.
But…
She was afraid…
She was afraid that Tang Yin might not accept her because of her condition right now, and she did not know how to face her daughter…
