I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 99 Illegitimate Daughter

Only three qualified candidates remained after the stone steps trial. As if resigned to his fate, Sect Leader Lin honestly stepped forward to ask if they wanted to continue the trial.

Bian Yuan ignored Sect Leader Lin and walked towards the three children with his sword. The cold and powerful aura he exuded instantly frightened the three children into immobility.

"I am Bian Yuan, the lord of Tianshan. Now that you have been chosen to come to Tianshan, you must be prepared. Although it is forbidden for companions to kill each other during the trial, your lives may be in danger if you are not careful in the trials to come. I am now giving you a chance. If you withdraw now, Tianshan will send you home and ensure your wealth and safety. If you are not afraid of death, then take a step forward."

As soon as Bian Yuan finished speaking, the little boy, braving the terrifying aura, tried to take a step forward, and the other two children followed suit.

As people from both Heaven and Earth, they grew up listening to stories of the Lord of Heaven.

Every five years, a group of children from the Heaven and Earth Kingdoms are selected and taken to the Heavenly Mountain by the Eight Great Families for trials.

Often the trials end in vain, but every few decades an extremely lucky child is chosen to become the next Lord of Tianshan.

Once he becomes the master of Tianshan, he will be the master of the entire Tianshan Mountains.

The eight powerful families in the two kingdoms of Heaven and Earth, who could get whatever they wanted—were nothing more than servants of the loyal ministers of the Lord of Tianshan.

Now that they have the opportunity to come to Tianshan, none of them want to easily withdraw from this trial that could change their destiny.

"Alright! Since no one is willing to withdraw, you will follow me."

Bian Yuan remained expressionless, nodding as if acknowledging the three children's courage. He was preparing to lead the three children to the forbidden area of ​​Beitian Peak.

"Master, wait! My sister..." The little boy didn't know how to address the Lord of Tianshan in front of him. In his anxiety, he followed the group of elders and called him master.

Upon hearing this, the stern-faced old man, whose expression inspired fear, stepped forward from the left.

"Although your sister was bumped into and fell off the cliff unconscious, which is why she couldn't finish climbing the stone steps, luck is also a kind of strength. Only you passed the trial; your sister didn't pass and cannot participate in the later trials."

"Grandpa, I know. I just wanted to ask this beautiful lady to take care of my sister for me temporarily. I will definitely come back to pick her up after I finish the trial."

After bowing to the elder, the little boy turned and looked at Fei Xi with longing eyes.

After the younger sister was rescued by her 'master', only this older sister did not mind that her sister was dirty. She covered her sister with such a gorgeous cloak and held her sister gently the whole time.

He was just being harassed by bad people, and only this woman spoke up for him... Although she didn't speak in a very proper way, he could tell that she was a good person.

"You believe me?" Fei Xi was a little surprised. After the incident at her sect, she hadn't felt the trust of someone with such innocent eyes for a long time.

“My sister is a good person,” the little boy answered confidently.

"My sister might not be a good person, but don't worry, when you come back, I'll definitely give you back a lively and energetic little sister." Fei Xi subconsciously glanced at the senior at the head of the table, whose lips seemed to twitch slightly.

Earlier in the carriage, after she said she didn't want to be a gentleman, Senior Bian ignored her with a cold face, but that made her feel relieved.

Fei Xi didn't know what was wrong with her. She really wanted Senior Bian to talk to her, but she was also afraid of him being nice to her. She found herself reacting too much to his every move, as if she couldn't control her emotions at all.

This feeling was so unfamiliar to Fei Xi that it filled her with fear. If she continued to interact with Senior Bian, she suspected that she would become completely unlike herself.

Senior Bian led his men out of the hall, and Sect Leader Lin and the others followed him. Only Elder Miao, Elder Li, and a kind-looking elder remained in the hall.

As they approached Beitian Peak, Fei Xi asked Elder Miao and learned that Senior Bian had come to Beitian Peak on urgent business.

It seems that Elder Miao was worried that she would be bored staying alone on Shuohan Peak, so he brought her out to relax.

Fei Xi picked up the little girl, just about to ask Old Miao where to find medicinal herbs.

The kind-looking elder walked towards them, smiling warmly as he said:

"Elder Miao, Elder Li, it's been a long time. This must be Miss Fei, right? Seeing you in person is truly an honor; you are a beautiful and intelligent young lady."

The kind and amiable old man made a good impression at first glance, and Fei Xi greeted him with a smile.

Then, at the signal from Elder Miao and Elder Li, he picked up the little girl and followed Elder Chunyu, who called himself Chunyu Yuan, out of the hall.

As soon as I stepped out of the hall, two handsome young men walked towards me.

The two called out "Master" to Elder Chunyu. The shorter man looked at Fei Xi with undisguised curiosity, while the taller man looked at her more subtly.

Fei Xi remained calm and allowed the two men to observe her. They followed Elder Chunyu to Qiankun Hall.

On the way, Elder Chunyu kindly introduced himself and his disciples to her.

Elder Chunyu comes from the Chunyu family, one of the eight great families, and is the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Chunyu family. He is usually responsible for managing the internal affairs of the Taixu Sect and the disciples going down the mountain to defend the righteous path. The two disciples who have come now are, the shorter one is his nephew Chunyu You, and the taller one is Su Xuan from the Su family, one of the eight great families.

“Miss Fei, just ask for whatever you want. As the host’s honored guest, you are also an honored guest of the Chunyu family. Please feel free to ask for anything you need.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Chunyu. I shouldn't be bothering you, but I came out in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything. I just promised that child that I would help him heal his sister. So I would like to ask Elder Chunyu to prepare some medicinal herbs for me."

Elder Chunyu readily agreed with a smile. Hearing Elder Miao mention Luoxia Slope, he suggested that Fei Xi and her group stay with him after lunch. He would then guide them to enjoy the scenery at sunset.

Fei Xi readily agreed, and Elder Chunyu nodded and left to make arrangements, leaving only two disciples to lead Fei Xi and her group to their guest rooms.

Through the cloak, Fei Xi placed the dirty little girl on the bed in the guest room. She planned to fetch some water to give the little girl a simple wash first, and then give her acupuncture after she was clean.

Just as she turned around to check the water temperature in the guest room kettle, a rude foot stepped on the table, blocking her way.

"Hey, what's your relationship with the master? You're not the master's illegitimate daughter who was raised outside, are you?"

As soon as his master left, Chunyu You no longer concealed his temper. However, as soon as he uttered his rude words, he was slapped out the door by a sleeve.

After hitting the man, Old Li looked at the other young man, who was staring in astonishment, his eyes seeming to ask, "Do you want me to do it, or do you want to get lost yourself?"

"Senior Li, please calm down. My junior brother is a bit outspoken, but he meant no harm."

Su Xuan quickly apologized, while secretly glancing at the woman who watched indifferently as her junior brother was sent flying.

This woman has such a cold personality.

"Besides the members of our eight great families, no other women have ever appeared by the master's side, nor has he ever brought anyone else back to Tianshan. My junior brother was curious about this, which is why he asked this question. If he has offended you, I hope you will not take offense."

"Oh, I'd be offended if I did."

Seeing that the person's expression changed because of her words, Fei Xi continued with a displeased look:

"I have no obligation to satisfy your curiosity. If you two young masters cannot learn how to treat guests, please leave the room. I need to rest."

If they say she's Senior Bian's daughter, why don't they suspect she's Senior Bian's lover?

After chasing the person away and closing the door, Fei Xi tilted her head, somewhat puzzled as to why she felt it was better to be mistaken for a lover than a daughter.

She shook her head and decided to stop thinking about these messy things; she never troubled herself with things she couldn't understand.

Fei Xi asked Elder Miao and Elder Li to leave for a moment, and carefully placed the fish basin filled with hot water on the bedside table.

The important thing is to get down to business first.
