However, Yu Linfeng coldly replied, "There's nothing for me to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Lan Borong's expression froze, and his face became even more awkward and stiff.
"Junchen..."
"I'm called Yu Linfeng. Elder Lan, perhaps you've mistaken me for someone else?" Yu Linfeng's expression turned indifferent.
Baili Hongzhuang and the others hesitated for a moment before looking at Lan Yundiao. Lan Yundiao nodded at them, gesturing for everyone to leave together.
Seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang and the others didn't hesitate any longer and walked out of the house, leaving the space to Lan Borong.
After leaving the house, Nangong Wu frowned and said, "What's the relationship between Linfeng and your Elder Lan? It seems like there are many things I don't know."
"You don't know either?" Lan Yundiao was surprised, and a hint of lament appeared in his eyes, becoming even more intense.
It seemed that Linfeng's emotional entanglement was deeper than he had imagined.
"I only know that the Lan family suspected Linfeng's lineage, and everyone ostracized him, claiming that he wasn't a member of the Lan family. That's why he left. Isn't that the case?" Nangong Wu's expression showed a hint of worry. That was the answer Linfeng had given her when she asked him about it in the past.
Could it be... Yu Linfeng hadn't told her the truth?
Upon hearing this, Lan Yundiao nodded. "You're right; that's how things are. However, it's even more complicated than that."
Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen exchanged a glance, finally understanding why Yu Linfeng held such resentment towards the Lan family.
To suspect one's lineage was to suspect one's identity and even question one's parents.
For anyone, it would be difficult to accept.
"Yundiao, please tell me everything about this matter. I don't want Linfeng to keep carrying this burden in his heart. At least, after knowing the truth, I can help him relieve some of it," Nangong Wu requested. Over the years, Linfeng had remained silent about this matter.
Because she didn't have enough understanding of this matter, she couldn't offer any consolation.
In fact, she had always known that Linfeng didn't want to hide it from her but because it was too difficult to say out loud.
Since they had come to the Lan family now, it was impossible to continue concealing this matter. It would be better to understand it sooner, and she wanted to help Linfeng resolve his emotional entanglement.
For so long, Linfeng hadn't truly been happy because of this matter. She hoped he could truly find happiness, and opening up about this heart knot was the only way.
Hearing Nangong Wu's words, a hint of hesitation flickered across Lan Yundiao's face. He had never revealed this matter because he didn't want to divulge Linfeng's privacy.
After all, it was Linfeng's personal matter, and it wouldn't be appropriate for it to come from his mouth.
"But since Linfeng himself doesn't want to talk about it, it's probably because he doesn't want others to know. If it makes him unhappy, it might not be worth it," Nangong Wu continued.
"If we go by his temperament, he probably won't speak about it in his entire lifetime. But he can't truly let go like this, and his recent cultivation stagnation is also related to this heart knot. I believe he wants to open up about it himself, and this visit to the Lan family is the best proof," Nangong Wu said slowly.
"We need to help him break free from it. It hasn't been a good thing for him to be trapped in it for so many years."
