Chapter 249 Misunderstanding
Taking advantage of Lan Yunyan's distraction, Ling's parents unleashed a powerful attack. A brilliant arc of spiritual energy struck Lan Yunyan like lightning, and she was unable to dodge, being struck in the right shoulder.
A sharp pain hit her, and she groaned, staggering to the right and back.
"Miss Lan, you are already powerless to save the situation. Don't struggle anymore." Father Ling said with a stern expression.
Lan Yunyan endured the pain, supported her body with her sword, and slowly stood up.
She stared at Ling Xiu Han, her eyes filled with determination: "Okay, Ling Xiu Han, you betrayed me today, from now on, we will be separated by mountains and rivers, and we will have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
After saying this, she turned around, dragged her injured body, and strode away.
Ling Xiuhan looked at Lan Yunyan's departing back, tears flowing uncontrollably.
He wanted to chase after her, but was held tightly by Ling's father and mother.
Lan Yunyan left the Holy Palace in a panic, supported by Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao. Along the way, the image of Ling Xiuhan and Su Yao standing together kept resurfacing in her mind, and the pain in her heart was like a venomous snake gnawing at her.
After returning to Qingyun Sect, Lan Yunyan locked herself in the room, refusing to eat or drink. She just sat quietly in front of the window, tightly holding the jade pendant given by Ling Xiuhan in her hand. The sweet memories of the past came flooding back like a tide, but were drowned by the pain of reality.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao tried to comfort her outside, but Lan Yunyan seemed oblivious. Her heart, shattered into a thousand pieces by the despair she felt in the Holy Palace.
In the Holy Palace, Ling Xiuhan was imprisoned in a secret room. He refused to see Su Yao and resisted all the arrangements of the Holy Palace with silence. He had only one belief in his heart: to find Lan Yunyan and explain everything clearly.
Su Yao came to the secret room and said softly, "Mr. Ling, I know you are concerned about others, but I really admire you. I am willing to wait for you to change your mind."
Ling Xiuhan responded coldly from inside the room: "Miss Su Yao, you and I are not destined to be together. There is no need to wait any longer."
Ling Xiuhan spent several days in the secret room. Apart from eating and resting, he hardly communicated with anyone. Su Yao came to visit him every day, but was always coldly turned away.
She knew that Ling Xiu Han's heart was not with her, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that one day he would change his mind.
That day, Su Yao came to the secret room again and said softly, "Mr. Ling, I know you have her in your heart, but I really hope you can give me a chance. I am willing to wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
Ling Xiu Han sat in a dim corner, his eyes empty and lifeless.
He had only one thought in his mind: to find Lan Yunyan and explain everything to her. Hearing Su Yao's words, he just responded lightly: "Miss Su Yao, you and I are not destined to be together. There is no need to wait any longer."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Su Yao's eyes, but she didn't give up. She turned and left, secretly deciding to find a chance to make Ling Xiuhan change his mind.
A few days later, Ling Xiuhan's parents returned to the secret room. Seeing their son's haggard appearance, they felt both distressed and helpless.
Ling's mother gently advised, "Xiu Han, you've been staying here for several days. It's not good for your health. Why don't you go out for a walk and get some fresh air?"
Ling Xiuhan raised his head, looked at his parents with a determined gaze, and said slowly, "Dad, Mom, if you really want me to feel better, let me go see Lan Yunyan. I just want to explain everything to her and let her know my feelings."
Father Ling frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Xiu Han, you know this is impossible. Now everyone in the Holy Palace knows about you and Su Yao. If you continue to pester Lan Yunyan, it will only make things worse. Besides, Su Yao is a good girl, and she is sincere to you."
Ling Xiu Han smiled bitterly. He knew that what his parents said made sense, but he couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart easily.
He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Okay, Dad, Mom, I am willing to marry Su Yao."
Ling's father and mother were overjoyed to hear this, but they also saw the helplessness and pain in their son's eyes.
Mother Ling held Ling Xiuhan's hand and said gently, "Xiuhan, we know you're upset, but you have to think about yourself. Su Yao is a good girl, she will treat you well."
Ling Xiuhan nodded, but he already had a plan in mind. He decided to temporarily agree to his parents' arrangement, but secretly look for an opportunity to meet Lan Yunyan.
Ling Xiuhan superficially agreed to his parents' arrangement, but deep down he was always looking for an opportunity to see Lan Yunyan. He used his daily walks to quietly observe the surroundings, looking for a possible escape route.
One night, Ling Xiuhan quietly slipped out of the secret room during a guard change. He followed a familiar path, heading towards the Qingyun Sect. The night was deep and hushed, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the stillness.
After several hours of traveling, Ling Xiuhan finally arrived near the Qingyun Sect. Carefully avoiding the patrolling disciples, he infiltrated the sect's interior. With his familiarity with the area, he quickly located Lan Yunyan's residence.
Since returning to Qingyun Sect, Lan Yunyan had locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink. She simply sat quietly by the window, tightly clutching the jade pendant Ling Xiuhan had given her. Her heart was broken, as if the entire world had lost its color.
When Ling Xiuhan pushed open the door and saw Lan Yunyan's thin figure, his heart ached like a knife. He approached gently and called softly, "Yunyan..."
Lan Yunyan raised her head and saw Ling Xiuhan standing in front of her, with a hint of surprise and complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
She didn't say anything, but just looked at him silently, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
Ling Xiuhan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yunyan, I'm here to explain everything to you. What happened in the Holy Palace that day is not what you think."
Lan Yunyan sneered and interrupted him: "Explain? What else is there to explain? I've seen the scene of you standing together. Is there anything clearer than this?"
Ling Xiuhan hurriedly explained: "That's a misunderstanding! There is nothing between Su Yao and me, everything is arranged by our parents. I only love you and it has never changed."
Lan Yunyan shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks: "It's too late, everything is too late. We can no longer go back to the past."
