To be replaced later.

A biting chill from within the room surged towards Lin Qi, instantly freezing her in place.

Lin Qi casually raised her hand, breaking the ice layer. She charged straight through, plunging into Gong Shaojun's arms.

She cried out in confusion and fear: "Mother, Mother! You can't leave! You can't abandon me!"

Gong Shaojun frowned slightly, but didn't answer.

She reached out and pulled Lin Qi from her arms.

"Stand at attention!"

A dignified and aloof voice conveyed a chill, yet the gentle movements of his hand hinted at a touch of tenderness.

Lin Qi involuntarily stood up straight, her nose twitching involuntarily.

Gong Shaojun took a handkerchief and wiped the dirt and tears from her face. His movements faltered when they touched the two bumps on her forehead.

This is not the first time.

Lin Qi was born missing a soul and a spirit, specifically the earth spirit and the spirit of intelligence. He had symptoms similar to that of an idiot.

When playing outside, I always get bullied. Every time I come back, I'm covered in wounds.

When asked who had hurt her, she didn't even know she was injured.

She can protect her for a while, but she cannot protect her forever.

Gong Shaojun sighed, "You're here just in time. Let's take a look together!"

She waved her hand, and everything that happened in the ancestral hall was projected before her.

Lin Qi saw his father being pressed onto a long bench and beaten. The iron board landed on his father's body, every blow causing him to cry out in pain.

Grandaunt and her mother sat in the front seats, their faces calm and indifferent.

Grandaunt asked her mother, "Mother-in-law, this fool has wronged you and done something that shames our family. He deserves to die. But he is the head of the Lin family after all... As long as we spare his life, how you deal with him afterwards is up to you!"

"Mother calmly sipped two cups of tea, casually revealing a big piece of news. "

Last night, I luckily broke through to the Yuanying stage.

Lin Qi saw her great-grandmother stand up in shock.

Then, furious, he ordered the servant, "Beat him! Beat him severely! If you kill him, throw his body out!"

The servant, frightened, increased his strength.

The father's screams grew louder and louder, each one punctuated by a mouthful of blood.

“When the time was right, Mother spoke up softly: ‘Grandaunt, don’t get angry. Lin Jie’s personality is weak, and he’s not suited to be the head of the family anyway. Why don’t we use this opportunity to have him step down as head and replace him with someone else... how about that?’”

Lin Qi looked at her great-grandmother's face turning purple.

She both loathed her father's incompetence and seethed at her mother's relentless pressure.

In this remote corner, a Yuan Ying cultivator could ensure the Lin family's peace for a thousand years.

If Gong Shaojun were to divorce in a fit of anger and remarry, even Grandmother wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

The Lin family mustn't anger this Nascent Soul cultivator.

Grandaunt tried tentatively, her voice lacking its usual authority: "If Lin Jia doesn't become the head of the family, who do you think would be suitable?"

“My dear,” her mother said gently, “Little Qi is all grown up now. It’s time for her to take her father’s place.”

When four-year-old Lin Qi takes over as the head of the Lin family after her father?!

While Granny was surprised, she also let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the head of the Lin family still bears the surname Lin, she will not have disappointed her ancestors.

She immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I'll have someone start arranging it right away!"

Lying on the ground, half-dead, Lin Jue suddenly raised his head, his red eyes pointing at "Mother:" "Young Master, you plotted against me!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, two figures rushed towards Shen Jue, sobbing.

One little girl glared angrily at the elder seated on the throne and Gong Shaojun, a hint of hatred brewing in her eyes.

Lin Qi opened her big eyes, looking at that unfamiliar yet familiar face.

The girl's face was still young, but it resembled the face of the celestial being named Lin Yun whom she had seen in her dream.

Strange memories came crashing down upon Lin Qi, like a tidal wave assaulting his brain. ap.

She couldn't bear it for a moment, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Xiao Qi!"

Palace Shaojun's usually calm and composed voice carried a hint of worry.

Lin Qi's seemed to have dreamt, yet also felt as if many unfamiliar memories had been forcibly implanted into her.

She realized that the dream she had before was actually her past life.

She actually lives in a cultivation novel.

This storybook tells the tale of her younger half-sister, Lin Yun, and her journey to success.

When Lin Yun was just three years old, his father was incompetent and his mother was killed. He could only survive by relying on the Lin family.

As the illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, she was despised by everyone in the desolate city.

The elder sister is stupid and tyrannical, often bringing people to bully her. Even the servants in the Lin family can arbitrarily oppress and abuse her.

Lin Yun's life before the age of five was simply miserable beyond description.

Until the Tianyi Sect held a grand disciple recruitment event, Lin Yun was tested to have a Fire-Wood spiritual root and entered under the tutelage of Danfeng Peak. From then on, he began his journey of defying fate and rewriting his destiny.

She climbed her way, stumbling and falling, to the late stage of Greater Perfection, becoming the first cultivator in the Cangwu realm to break through the void.

As a vicious supporting character in a storybook, Lin Qi's fate naturally wouldn't be good.

As the only legitimate heir of the Lin family, a prominent cultivation family in the desolate city, she became the head of the Lin family at the age of four. With the protection of her great-aunt and her Yuan Ying mother as her backing, even if she were an idiot, she could live a carefree life in the desolate city without any setbacks.

Surprisingly, her younger sister, Lin Yun, became the biggest surprise in her life.

She was instigated and led astray by servants, bullying her younger sister and offending the most promising cultivator in the Lin family.

As Lin Yun's fame grew within Tianyi Sect, so did the tales of her abuse at the hands of her own family. The deeper and more widely spread these stories became, the worse things went for the Lin family.

Because he lacked a soul and spirit, he could not cultivate and was ridiculed and bullied by many.

When he was young, he didn't know how to resist. When he grew up, he learned to use the Lin family's influence to suppress others, which resulted in offending a large number of cultivators and earning him the titles of "The First Prodigal" and "The First Fool" of Arah City.

The Yuan Ying's mother, heartbroken by her husband's keeping a mistress, chose to shut herself away in seclusion.

After entering the secluded cave, he did not appear until the day when the Lin family was exterminated by cultivators provoked by Lin Yun, but then he disappeared from the Cangwu realm.

From then on, the esteemed young master of the Lin family embarked on a path of struggle and survival.

The lack of a soul and spirit left her living worse than even a beggar.

One day, Jinwu Daochang met her and learned that she was the only surviving blood relative of the Lin family in the abandoned city, and the older sister of Lin Yun. Without a word, he abducted her and imprisoned her in a dark, subterranean cave where he tormented her.

Every time Lin Yun breaks through a level, the Golden Crow Immortal will bring people to torment Lin Qi for a period of time in the cave.

During this period, he accidentally discovered that Lin Qi was actually carrying the bloodline of the ancient ice phoenix, and he began to think about refining her into a medicinal pill.

When news spread across the five continents that Lin Yun was about to attain enlightenment and shatter the void, Daoist Jin Wu, unable to bear it any longer, decided to cut out Lin Qi's Golden Core and vent his rage.

Lin Yun shattered the void, Lin Qi offered blood to the sea of fire, this was the final destination for the two of them.

"Home?" Gong Shaojun sneered, "Bullshit!"

"Heaven wants to use my daughter as a stepping stone for its chosen one, but I won't let that happen!"

Gong Shaojun's usually cold voice now held a hint of anger.
