Let me explain, it's not what you think.

Alchemy Peak.

"I called you all here today because I have something to tell you!"

At the dinner table, Lu Chen, Lin Tian, ​​Zhang Fan, Yu Ning, Zhuang Jingbai and others sat together, looking at Wang Feng, the man at the head of the table.

He is the chief disciple of the Alchemy Peak.

"What's going on, Senior Brother Wang? You've called us all over here. What a big fuss!" Zhang Fan asked, taking a sip of spiritual wine.

"I... am divorced."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked, thinking they had misheard.

"Are you kidding us, Senior Brother? You and Senior Sister Huaiyu have such a good relationship, you're so happy together, you're like a match made in heaven, how could you possibly get divorced?"

"It's true, it's my fault... Ugh, it's all that damn black market's fault, it's all that damned Hehuan Sect's fault!!"

Wang Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

"What exactly happened? Senior Sister Huaiyu couldn't possibly have betrayed you!"

"Sigh, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me for saying this!"

Wang Feng sighed.

"My natural quality is very poor, and the probability of me having children is very small. So, I found a folk remedy on the black market that said to extract both my and Jiang Huaiyu's sperm for external use."

"Isn't this normal? Could something have happened later?"

"Yes, everything seemed normal at first, but who knew..."

At this point, Wang Feng looked pained.

"Who knew that the people in the black market would secretly replace mine with that person's!!"

The room immediately fell silent upon hearing this.

Because they didn't expect things to develop this way, and most importantly, their senior sister Jiang Huaiyu didn't do anything wrong; she was also a victim.

"Senior brother, what you're doing..."

Zhang Fan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He subconsciously looked at Yu Ning beside him, who also looked shocked and her face was somewhat pale.

My hands are shaking!

Lin Tian frowned and put down the spirit wine in his hand: "Senior Brother Wang, does Senior Sister Huaiyu know about this?"

"She knows." Wang Feng smiled wryly.

"She knew even earlier than I did. When Ling'er was three years old, she noticed something was wrong and secretly went to get it checked, and found that it was indeed not true! But she didn't dare to tell me and carried it all by herself for three years."

"Three years?" Zhuang Jingbai withdrew her gaze from Lu Chen.

"She carried it all alone for three years?"

Wang Feng nodded, his eyes slightly red.

"She was afraid I couldn't handle it, and she kept trying to tell me, but every time she got to the point, she swallowed her words. It wasn't until these past few days, when the demoness from the demonic sect exposed this matter, that my daughter and I had to undergo a test, and we discovered that our bloodline powers didn't match..."

He couldn't continue, so he raised his hand to cover his face.

Everyone fell silent.

Yu Ning hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wang, I know this is hard for anyone to accept. But... Senior Sister Huaiyu didn't know anything at first, she's a victim too."

"Yes, senior brother," Zhang Fan quickly replied.

"Senior sister has no idea what happened in the black market, how can you blame her? We've all seen her feelings for you and her love for Ling'er over the years, it can't be fake!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhuang Jingbai looked at him and said calmly, "Senior Brother Wang, I am also a woman, and I understand Senior Sister Huaiyu's suffering."

How much pain must she have felt when she discovered the truth? She didn't betray you; she was framed. And your current decision to divorce her is punishing a victim.

"I know, I know everything..." Wang Feng raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed.

"But I just can't get over this! Every time I see Ling'er, I'm reminded that she's not... It's like there's a thorn stuck in my heart that I can't pull out!"

"Then let's have another one!" Lin Tian slammed his hand on the table.

"Senior brother, you and senior sister are still young, you can totally have another one of your own! Senior sister loves you so much, she'll definitely be willing..."

"My family doesn't agree."

Wang Feng interrupted him, his voice hoarse.

Everyone was taken aback.

"My Wang family also knows about this. As you know, my Wang family is irreconcilably opposed to the demonic path! Especially for someone like me, a core disciple..." Wang Feng lowered his head.

"And my parents... They've always doted on that child like their own granddaughter, but now that they know the truth, their attitude has completely changed. A few days ago, when they came to my cave and saw the child, they wouldn't even hold her."

Wang Feng raised his head, his eyes filled with deep weariness.

"They said that it must be a descendant of the Wang family. They couldn't let outsiders take over the family property. This saddened Huaiyu greatly, because no matter what, this was Huaiyu's own daughter."

"this……"

Zhang Fan didn't know what to say, because his elders were even more radical.

In their eyes, raising someone else's child is a great disgrace.

Unless it is by some twist of fate that one finds a child, or adopts the orphan of a friend, brother, or benefactor, these are permitted, because neither of these two types of children will be allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

But to have a wife and yet give birth to another man's child is an utter disgrace!

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Feng spoke again.

"Yesterday, the clan elder came to me personally and gave me an ultimatum: either get a divorce or be expelled from the clan."

Lin Tian panicked: "How could they do this? Senior Sister did nothing wrong!"

"I know she did nothing wrong." Wang Feng closed his eyes. "But what can I do? Can I break ties with my parents for her? Turn against my entire family?"

Everyone fell silent.

Yu Ning pursed her lips, her eyes reddening as if she were experiencing the same thing.

"Then... how is Senior Sister doing now?"

"She went back to her parents' home."

"Before she left, she said she didn't blame me, that she understood me. She said... she was also free."

These words left everyone present feeling uneasy.

"Sigh! Senior brother, you're being foolish! You're just acting on impulse right now. Once you calm down, you'll definitely regret your decision!"

I suggest you hurry up and try to win back Senior Sister Huaiyu; it's not too late!

After a long silence, Lu Chen finally spoke.

But after hearing this, Wang Feng simply lowered his head and stared at the wine glass in front of him.

"Xiao Lu, I'm very clear-headed, and I know what I'm doing, but I have a thorn in my side! So... that's what I was thinking too, and that's why I'm giving Huaiyu a lot of compensation!"

Lu Chen remained silent.

The person who escaped from the Hehuan Sect...

That mysterious person who left behind countless descendants...

He took a deep breath, picked up his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhuang Jingbai noticed his unusual expression and patted him on the shoulder: "Junior brother, why do you look so pale?"

Yu Ning also turned her gaze over.

"N-nothing," Lu Chen forced a smile. "It's just that...this whole thing is ridiculous."

"Who says otherwise?" Lin Tian sighed, then looked at Wang Feng, "Senior brother, what are you planning to do now?"

Wang Feng remained silent for a long time.

"I have no idea."

"I really don't know."

He stood up.

"I called you all here today because I wanted to get this off my chest and feel better. You've given me all the advice you could, and I understand your reasoning, but... I just can't accept it."

He turned and walked out, but suddenly stopped at the door.

"We're all fellow disciples, please tell Huaiyu for me..." He said, his voice choked with emotion, his back to the crowd.

"Tell her I'm sorry."

The door closed.

The room was deathly silent.
