Chapter 696: The Mystery of Origins


Lin Fei never expected that his senior sister would actually use the Parnie Heart Sutra cultivation technique to save herself.

This indicates that her injuries that night were so severe that she had no choice but to use the Parnie Heart Sutra; otherwise, her life would be in constant danger.

However, the success and failure rates of using the Parnie Heart Sutra for self-rescue are each fifty percent. If she failed, Lin Fei couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose his senior sister forever.

"Elder Chen, did my senior sister leave any words before activating the Parnie Heart Sutra?" Lin Fei asked Chen Wuyue.

Chen Wuyue replied, "Your senior sister asked me to keep it a secret, not to let you and your grandfather worry. She wanted me to tell you that she is safe, but had urgent matters to attend to, returning to the East Asian Country, and will return to Huaxia in six months."

Looking at his senior sister lying on the bed, eyes shut and in a deep sleep, Lin Fei felt inexplicably pained.

At such a life-and-death moment, he couldn't believe his senior sister had Elder Chen conceal the truth to keep him and his grandfather from worrying.

"Besides asking me to hide her condition, she left a letter for me to give to you in Huadu if she hasn't awakened in six months." Elder Chen continued.

Lin Fei quickly asked, "Elder Chen, where is the letter my senior sister left?"

He wanted to know what his senior sister had written to him in that letter.

Glancing at Qian Songyixue on the bed, Elder Chen said to Lin Fei, "The letter is under your senior sister's pillow, take it yourself."

Lin Fei immediately slipped his hand under Qian Songyixue's pillow, found the envelope, and took it out.

The envelope was sealed, unopened.

Lin Fei tore open the envelope and drew out a letter. Upon opening it, he saw graceful and elegant writing on the clean letter paper.

A faint fragrance emanated from the letter paper, a unique scent of his senior sister.

Lin Fei began reading the letter, and the more he read, the more grave his expression became.

After finishing the letter, Lin Fei refolded it, placed it back in the envelope, and then put the envelope in his pocket.

Elder Chen and Chen Lin, out of respect, did not ask Lin Fei about the contents of the letter.

However, Elder Chen still asked with concern, "Lin Fei, are you alright?"

From Lin Fei's solemn expression, Elder Chen faintly sensed that the letter Qian Songyixue left for Lin Fei contained something extremely important.

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Elder Chen. My senior sister will stay in the base for the next six months; I'm afraid I'll need to trouble you greatly."

Chen Wuyue quickly replied, "Lin Fei, why so polite? Your grandfather once saved my life."

Of course, Chen Wuyue had another unspoken thought: Lin Fei and Chen Xinyi are engaged, making him his future grandson-in-law.

Whether it was Lin Zheng's life-saving grace to him or Lin Fei being his future grandson-in-law, he would do his utmost to protect Qian Songyixue.

Then, Lin Fei, Chen Wuyue, and Chen Lin left the extremely secretive room.

Before leaving, Lin Fei took one last deep look at his senior sister on the bed, silently vowing: Senior sister, I will not let anything happen to you!

Had it not been for his senior sister already using the Parnie Heart Sutra and entering a self-repair state that could not be interrupted, he would have exerted all his strength to heal her.

For now, he could only wait, and if his senior sister still hadn't awakened in six months, he planned to rescue her.

Lin Fei followed Chen Wuyue through layer after layer of security. After exiting the steel doors, Chen Wuyue instructed the soldiers guarding the sides, "Make sure you guard this chamber well."

"Yes, sir," the two soldiers promptly responded.

Afterward, Chen Wuyue, along with Lin Fei and Chen Lin, continued taking the elevator back to the building's ground level.

After leaving the base building, Lin Fei returned to his apartment.

An entire hour passed, with Lin Fei sitting in a daze on the sofa, his expression indescribably complex.

On the table, the letter his senior sister left sat untouched.

Though Lin Fei had calmly read through the letter left by his senior sister in that secret chamber,

Inside, he was anything but calm.

Because the letter from his senior sister revealed a secret he never knew: a secret concerning the mystery of his own lineage.

He repeatedly recalled fragments from his senior sister's letter: "Lin Fei, when you read this letter, I might have already left you forever, but don't be sad. Even if I'm not by your side, there will be others who love you accompanying you..."

...

"The only thing that doesn't ease my mind is you facing all difficulties in this world alone, and I can no longer help you, leaving you to face it all by yourself..."

...

"When you were eight, you asked me where your parents were. At that time, I told you they had gone very, very far away. As you grew up, you asked me many times where your parents were?"

"My answer was always the same: your parents had gone very far away. You didn't believe it and asked your grandfather, who said the same, and even encouraged you to leave Kunlun Mountain when grown to find your parents."

"Actually, my grandfather and I were afraid of you being sad and didn't tell you the truth: your parents are already dead..."

...

"My father, Qiansong Hechuan, was your grandfather's first disciple (which means I should call your grandfather my grand-master, not master, but he allowed me to call him master and grandfather). My father and your parents were senior brother and sister; your father was named Lin Yunxiao and your mother was named Duan Mengyu, the daughter of the Patriarch of the Duan family, one of the Six Great Families in the Capital City."

"Over a decade ago, your parents were mysteriously murdered, and to this day the murderer remains unknown. Their bodies have not been found. After years of my father's secret investigation, it appears their deaths are linked to one of the largest organizations in Huaxia, Hidden Kill, and also related to the current Patriarch of the Duan family, your mother's brother, Duan Tianlong."

...

"With your current strength, you are no match for Hidden Kill or Duan Tianlong. Senior sister hopes you can endure for now until you're strong enough to avenge them."

...

Lin Fei recalled as a child seeing other kids with parents while he had none.

He asked his senior sister why he didn't have parents.

She told him they had gone to a very far place.

As he grew up, he asked his senior sister and grandfather where his parents were.

Yet they always gave him vague answers, never telling him where they went.

Eventually, Lin Fei stopped asking them, suspecting his parents might no longer be alive.

Not asking left a sliver of hope. But asking for the truth might destroy the final spark of hope.

Hence, since he understood this, he stopped asking his senior sister and grandfather about his parents, not because he didn't want to know, but because he feared the pain of learning the truth.

Now, from his senior sister's letter, Lin Fei finally understood the truth.

Just as he feared, his parents were no more, murdered, and not only was the killer unknown, but their bodies were never found.

In Lin Fei's eyes flickered pain, his hands clenched into fists as if trying to grip all the pain and hatred.
