Chen Kaiyang calmly said, "You have suffered humiliation from the Chu family until today, enduring countless hardships."

"As the foremost true disciple of the sect, and my disciple, how could you be bullied by the Chu family?"

"I know you still want to know the whereabouts of your parents, so I brought you back to the Chu family. Seek revenge for wrongs, uncover the truth, and resolve your thoughts."

"You can act boldly, with your master here, the Chu family won't dare touch you!"

Chu Nan's heart trembled, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.

From as long as he can remember, he has rarely received any care, and within the Chu family, he doesn't even know how much suffering he endured.

Though he seldom mentioned it after leaving the Chu family, he always held revenge as his belief.

Coupled with the mystery of his parents' unknown fates, the weight of these emotions almost turned into inner demons.

But the Chu family's strength was formidable, not something he could shake alone, so he could only suppress his grudges, waiting for the opportunity to act.

"Master, I will not let you down!" A passionate light flickered in Chu Nan's eyes as he silently clenched his fist.

Chu family, the enmity between us will finally have a resolution!

Then Chen Kaiyang left, and Chu Nan returned to his place to begin cultivation, diligently adjusting his condition to strive for the best.

He even felt a surge of impulse to immediately break through the Yang Wheel Realm.

Since being expelled by the Chu family, day and night, he spared no effort to become stronger, all for this very moment, wasn't it?

To wash away the past humiliation, to avenge the sea of blood, and to uncover the truth of his parents' disappearance.

Now that the truth was about to be revealed, his heart could no longer remain calm.

"Chu Nan, calm down, your cultivation is becoming chaotic," Kui Guang reminded within Chu Nan's mind, frowning.

Despite this, Chu Nan turned a deaf ear and instead asked, "Sword Venerable Master, do you think I can break through to the Yang Wheel Realm now?"

He hoped for an affirmative response, so he would have no more worries.

However, Kui Guang said, "Chu Nan, you have already fallen into a demonic obstacle, calm down quickly, or you might fall into madness."

Residing within Chu Nan's soul, Kui Guang was most aware of his condition.

At this moment, Chu Nan's soul was turbulent, his breath violent and unable to calm, signs of going mad, which if not controlled, could cause irreparable damage.

"Sword Venerable Master, past events are vivid before my eyes, how can I be calm?" Chu Nan silently clenched his fists, his eyes full of hate and excitement.

It was a full sixteen years; he was parentless, suffering humiliation in the Chu family, enduring endless hardships.

Family, lover, and friends were all unattainable presences.

Fortunately joining the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, what welcomed him was an even more terrible hell.

A year of blood-drawing life made him wish to be dead, as if he were livestock.

The various encounters with the Chu family were something Chu Nan often did not wish to recall, a memory almost impossible to release.

Vindication was right before his eyes, he was so excited he trembled all over, eager to rush to the Chu family now and cut off Chu Han's dog head!

Kui Guang remained silent, unable to fully grasp Chu Nan's feelings, as he had never experienced these himself.

To prevent Chu Nan from truly falling into madness, Kui Guang decided to use some special means to forcibly calm him down, even though it might impact his soul, it was better than losing his mind.

Just as Kui Guang was about to take action, a gentle knock on the door suddenly resounded.

"Who is it!" A fierce light flashed in Chu Nan's eyes, no longer retaining his previous composure.

Outside, there was a moment of silence before a voice came, "It's me, Gu Nianxue."

Chu Nan's frantic expression regained a trace of calm, he slowly got up to open the door, seeing Gu Nianxue outside, he asked, "Do you have any unresolved issues with the cultivation technique?"

He thought Gu Nianxue coming over so late must be because of the cultivation technique.

But Gu Nianxue shook her head, looking into Chu Nan's eyes, she inexplicably said, "Chu Nan, I find myself unable to calm down. When I close my eyes, I think of the past events in the Imperial Capital. Can you listen to me?"

Perhaps due to Gu Nianxue's physique, the Cold Frost Battle Body slightly soothed Chu Nan's restless heart, coupled with her pitifully earnest gaze, Chu Nan found it hard to refuse, so he said, "If that's the case, come in then."

A faint joy flashed across Gu Nianxue's face, she then quickly walked in, looking around Chu Nan's room.

Only to find that apart from items related to cultivation, not even a bed was there.

Gu Nianxue said with astonishment, "Chu Nan, do you not have anything to do besides cultivation?"

Chu Nan replied with an even more surprised tone, "As a martial artist, what else is there to do besides cultivation?"

"..." Gu Nianxue was speechless for a while, then said, "You're not wrong, let's talk about my affairs first."

With that, the two sat cross-legged on the ground facing each other, the scene was inexplicably a bit awkward.

But Gu Nianxue didn't mind, as if reminiscing, she slowly began to recount her past to Chu Nan.

"My father was once a famous genius in the Imperial Capital, but due to his poor background, he ended up marrying into my mother's Ma family, becoming a son-in-law."

Hearing this, Chu Nan was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect Elder Gu to have such a history.

"Due to my father's outstanding talent, he had some status in the Ma family, and his relationship with my mother grew deeper, especially after I was conceived; the Ma family believed a genius could surely be born who surpassed my father."

"But on the day I was born, during a scorching summer, snow fell—a rare phenomenon unseen in a thousand years. The Ma family regarded it as a bad omen, but with my father and mother's protection, my first five childhood years were somewhat happy."

Chu Nan's gaze dimmed a little, Gu Nianxue had her parents by her side since birth, but he had nothing.

"Until after I turned five and began cultivation, never-seen cold poison erupted in my body. I nearly died that time!"

"The Ma family's doctors said I wouldn't live past eighteen, pronouncing me an unworthy waste for cultivation."

Chu Nan was silent; when in the Chu family, Chu Han didn't allow him to cultivate, the whole clan also deemed him a waste.

Gu Nianxue's eyes gradually sank into sadness: "In the Imperial Capital, only martial artists could hold status, those unable to cultivate couldn't even qualify as tools for marriage alliances."

"After that, the Ma family completely abandoned me, even my mother regarded me as her shame, ignoring when same-blooded peers bullied me, leaving me locked in a dark room to fend for myself, as if I was never born."

Sharing a similarly tragic childhood, Chu Nan's heart was moved, he could empathize with Gu Nianxue's feelings, after all, their encounters, in a certain sense, were quite similar.

As Gu Nianxue recounted her story, tears welled up in her eyes: "I thought I was doomed, but my father refused to give up. He rescued me from the dark room, disregarding breaking with my mother, damaging his own foundation to escape the Ma family with me."

"After leaving the Ma family, we wandered around, he took me through many places in the Celestial Crossing Realm, taught me cultivation methods, earnestly seeking treasures to extend my life."

"During that time, I don't know how many times we encountered Ma family pursuits, the more than ten years after leaving, my father and I almost always spent being hunted."

"I can say without my father, I would already be a pile of bones in some obscure grave."

Hearing this, Chu Nan clenched his fist and said, "The Ma family treated you like this, so you should strive to cultivate, one day storm into the Ma family, even if it costs your life, eliminate past humiliations!"
