Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Ye Ge’s Past_1

Ye Ge nodded, "Indeed, I’m not my adoptive father’s natural son, and I’m not sure where I actually came from. I was adopted by him at a very young age and sent to the camp for rigorous training. At that time, I was probably... three or four years old. I don’t remember much about my early life. But my adoptive father, as well as my godmother, were very loving, and that home was warm."

Ye Ge continued, "My adoptive father treated me like his own. He taught me to read, to recognize characters, to practice the sword. He wanted to mold me into a person as strong as him. From a young age, I admired him the most. The most significant memory I have is of a time when a hundred thousand soldiers were dispatched for a northern expedition. My adoptive father, mounted on his horse, wielding his cyan-feathered blade, with a powerful swing, led the hundred thousand soldiers to let out a mighty roar. At that moment, I thought my adoptive father was like a god, and I aspired to become a person like him."

"Ah," responded Nan Feng, no one understood this situation better than her, as she too grew up watching heroes and documentaries.

"What about Nini?" Nan Feng asked.

"Nini was born after my adoptive father adopted me. My godmother and adoptive father had been married for many years without having any children. Then, someone suggested that my father adopt a boy because he was seen as tainted due to the bloodshed he constantly witnessed. Strangely enough, not long after I was adopted, Nini was born. At that time, I had not yet entered the camp, and sometimes, my godmother would ask me to look after her. I found this little sister of mine so adorable, and so I showed her a little more love."

Especially later when I was in the camp. Although XX Camp was akin to a hellish training experience, I was close enough to regularly visit. Nini and I could be considered childhood friends, growing up together, playing together. Our sibling bond was very strong."

Nan Feng nodded again.

However, she felt somewhat worried. The two weren’t biological siblings, Ye Ge regarded Nini as a real sister, but what about Nini?

Did Nini have pure feelings towards Ye Ge?

She abruptly remembered that painting. The artist obviously had a delicate mind, each stroke full of emotions.

But then Ye Ge said, "When my adoptive family was slaughtered, I felt as if the sky was collapsing. Had it not been for my adoptive father sending someone to inform me to escape, I would probably... be gone. At that time, my adoptive father sent me to the south. After that, I simply headed south and with the help of friends, got Master Dao to give me a fake skin."

Nan Feng nodded again, then held Ye Ge’s shoulder, as one would comfort a child.

"I longed for revenge and thought of assassinating Qin Kun. With my ability, it would have been easy, but I felt it was the wrong thing to do. Even if Qin Kun died, my adoptive father’s reputation would not be restored. Then I pursued further, learning of Qin Kun’s hometown of Fu County. But I was also pursued by Qin Kun’s men. That’s how I ended up escaping to Ping County and settling in Da Ping Village, where I met you. I then learned about the situation in Wan Jin County, and you already know what happened after that."

"Mmhm," said Nan Feng, still patting Ye Ge’s back, and then calmly asked, "And how about after meeting me?"

"After meeting you, I felt that maybe God isn’t entirely unfair. I felt like I could live a different life, unlike the one I had before. At the very least, I could provide for you."

Nan Feng rested in Ye Ge’s arms, her nose feeling a bit sour, a lump forming in her throat.
