As if he had recalled something, Lin Feng’s expression was cold and heartless. It was as if Huo Jinqi was not his good friend but an enemy.
“She is indeed my biological sister. We found her not too long ago.”
“So?” Lin Feng sat down and leaned on the sofa. He raised his head slightly. The current Lin Feng was completely different from the humorous man that Huo Jinqi normally saw.
“Huo Jinqi, what are you trying to tell me?
“You want Jiuan to acknowledge her roots?
“You want her to be your sister?
“She’s my little junior sister. Her name is Xing Jiuan, and she is also called Xing Se. She’s not Huo Jinyan.”
Lin Feng suddenly stood up. His voice was filled with anger. He grabbed Huo Jinqi’s collar as if he would punch him at any moment.
“She’s a child my master picked up from outside. We watched her grow up. When did the Xing Jiuan we raised become your biological sister?”
Huo Jinqi looked at him. “We waited sixteen years for her to come home.
“We respect Jiuan’s decision, but she’s also my biological sister.
“No matter how you deny it, this is an unchangeable answer.”
“You already have a sister.”
“She’s just a fake.”
“Isn’t your family living well?” Lin Feng sneered. “The third daughter of the Huo family, Huo Chulan, is a true daughter of a wealthy family. Since the fake has become real, why should the real daughter return?
“Jiuan isn’t short of any family members.
“We’re enough for her.
“She hates you. Stay away from her from now on.”
“Lin Feng…”
“Also, I heard from my little junior sister and I can tell she doesn’t really like you. Let’s not be in too much contact in the future.”
Lin Feng let out a deep breath, his eyes turning red.
In his extreme rage, his expression was terrifying.
He was already twenty-nine years old now. He was a few years older than Mu Qing and ten years older than Xing Jiuan. He clearly remembered the situation when Xing Jiuan first came to the sect.
The little girl was wrapped in her master’s coat and had many small wounds on her body.
She was such a young child when she was brought back to the sect. It seemed like it was only right for her to be sad and afraid. Everyone was already discussing how to coax the little girl when she cried.
He didn’t know if it was because she had cried enough or what, but the little girl seemed to be very strong.
When she took medicine, she would not cry. When they applied medicine on her, she would not cry either. She would even call them “brother” and “sister” in a childish voice. Later on, she would call them “senior brother” and “senior sister.”
When they asked her for her name, she shook her head and said nothing. When they asked how old she was, she did not say a word.
Master knew some divination arts and calculated that her birthday was December 21st. Coincidentally, she was Master’s 21st disciple.
She used her master’s surname, “Xing,” and was given the name “Se.”
Therefore, she was called Xing Se.
“I originally thought… I only thought that you liked Jiuan. I didn’t expect it to be like this.
“Jiuan doesn’t need any blood-related family. When you all abandoned her, you should have known that there would be no chance for you all to feel regret after doing such things.
“I will guard her well and protect her. I will not let you near her.
“She doesn’t… she’s cut off all ties from her past sixteen years ago.
“What kind of family does that make you?”
Huo Jinqi accurately grasped a keyword.
“Abandoned? What do you mean by that?”
His expression seemed colder than Lin Feng’s, but his voice had a strange astonishment lacing it.
