Forsaken Immortals Chapter 125 - I Am Not Going Back

Chapter 125 - "I Am Not Going Back" A cold gleam flashed in Bai Rouyun’s eyes as she looked at her father’s reflection in the water surface.
She had always wanted to know who her parents were in her past life, but it was not only because she was starving for affection; it was just as much to confront them, and try to understand why she had been abandoned.
Now that she had her answers, she, strangely enough, did not feel a need to connect with these strangers anymore, nor did she want to recognize her ancestors.
Instead, she had a longing to see Li Moyun. To talk with him, and tell him everything that was on her mind.
He was the one who had given her warmth.
He was her home.
Feeling a little impatient and eager to rush back to Little Chu, and ask about her husband’s affairs, she became restless.

The sound of her clothes rustling caused her father to look towards the source of the sound, and what he saw made his eyes widen in surprise. Was this his daughter?
He, who had seen every famous beauty in the Wushi Continent, was stumped for words when he saw the attractive young girl in front of him.
There were no passionate thoughts, only the pure appreciation of beauty when he saw her, and then a sigh of regret. If she had not already been married, she would be able to bring many benefits to their family when he married her away.
Bai Rouyun was not dumb. She recognized the regret in his eyes right away, and her heart chilled. What kind of person was this?
"You must be my daughter?" he asked gently. He kept looking at her intently, but he did not see any excitement or happiness. Instead, he saw the unimaginable coldness in her eyes.
"I am Bai Rouyun," she answered casually, and looked at him before she frowned. This man did not give her a sense of security.
"Little Yun, you have to work hard," the father said softly as he tried to coax her. "You have to reach the Ascended Realm before you can leave the prison continent and reunite with your family."
"My family is already here," she said, her voice emotionless. While you could not hear any coldness, there was absolutely no happiness either.

Her father almost staggered when he heard her words. Was her family there? What did she mean?
"Are you referring to your husband?" he asked, looking rather displeased, but Bai Rouyun just nodded her head.
"Well, you can bring him too, and make him a live-in husband," the father said rather unwillingly. He truly felt that it was a waste of his daughter’s good look to be married to a cultivator from the prison continent.
The more he spoke, the colder the gleam in Bai Rouyun’s eyes became. So they wanted to insult Li Moyun? If he really became a live-in husband, he would never be able to lift his head, and she was not willing to see that.
She loved his arrogance. His pride was not for anyone to trample upon, not even her so-called father.
"I have no interest in returning to the Bai family," Bai Rouyun said, after considering for some time.
Her words shocked both Bai Mulan and her father; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Do you not wish to cultivate?" the father asked, feeling puzzled, but he noticed her cold eyes when he looked at the girl again. It seemed he had angered her somehow?

Father Bai was used to being in charge of everything. Common emotions did not mean much to him, and even the love between him and his wife was not the passionate and fiery type.
He had married his wife due to her background, and while he had never disliked her, it was not before a long time had passed that he had developed feelings for her.
It was also mainly for her sake that he had been looking for Bai Rouyun. He felt guilty about her, but he knew that his wife’s heart was broken whenever she thought about her lost daughter.
"I wish to cultivate, but the Bai family has not raised me for a day of my life," Bai Rouyun answered. "Where I am now is all due to my own perseverance and stubbornness. The one who truly cares about me is Li Moyun, but you wish to insult him. What kind of person would I be if I approved of your plan?"
Father Bai was shocked. He had never expected that this Bai Rouyun would take the side of an outsider over her biological parents.
Frowning, he looked at her as if to see whether she was truly serious, but what he saw was her stubborn eyes that showed no signs of joking.
Sighing, he could not help but think that she was likely blaming them for losing her as a child, and he did blame himself for this as well.
As such, he decided to take a step back. It would not help him to pressure her now. She was also very far from the Ascended Realm; many years would pass by before she would be capable of leaving the continent.
There was no need to rush.
"I will respect your decision," Father Bai said with a bit of sadness in his voice. "I will, however, ask Bai Mulan to stay by your side and protect you while you are at the prison continent."
"I do not need him." Bai Rouyun ruthlessly rejected the offer. "I am going to grow stronger on my own, and having a cultivator above the Ascended Realm will remove all pressure on me. I am not willing to become a vase."
As she spoke, she glanced at her father, showing her determination on the issue.
