Chapter 1350: Chapter 1345: Memories Gradually Surfacing

The father-daughter bond was profound.

Indeed, being with her was different.

A faint satisfaction brimmed in Rong Sheng’s eyes.

Chu Yifeng observed her closely; her every glance and expression couldn’t escape his eyes. He sneered coldly, “This is my daughter. With the way you’re acting, I might think that you bore this child for me.”

“You’re dreaming!”

Rong Sheng retorted subconsciously.

Chu Yifeng’s gaze turned icy, “Wishful thinking.”

The wife Chu Yifeng wanted to marry would never be someone like Rong Sheng, with her tough and unpleasant temperament, attractive only for her face.

No, even her face wasn’t attractive, merely a shell of beauty.

Chu Yifeng secured the painting of Chu Xi, tucked it into his chest, and was about to leave.

“Wait…” Rong Sheng did not forget her main purpose, “Tomorrow Xin Yi will battle Lin Sisi. Chen Ruobai intends to persuade her to surrender. Following the emperor’s orders, I have advised Chen Ruobai, and he might personally meet with Lin Sisi.”

When Chen Ruobai personally meets Lin Sisi, the perfect opportunity for battle will arise.

At that time, they could annihilate her in one fell swoop, take control of Qiongzhou City, eliminate future troubles, and be rid of them once and for all.

“I understand.”

Chu Yifeng, with the news, left the city and hurried back to Ruo Shui Pass. Originally his martial arts were excellent and he had disguised himself as a corpse, so no one would notice him. However, from the shadows, a pair of eyes watching Rong Sheng recognized his silhouette.

Beneath the black hood, the scar-covered jawline curved sharply, and his voice was hoarse as if he had been tortured, “Chu Yifeng, huh…”

Returning to Chu Yihan’s military tent, Chu Yifeng relayed the message from Rong Sheng. It aligned with Chu Yihan’s speculation – after a few more battles, Lin Sisi would naturally engage in talks with Chen Ruobai.

And the terms Chen Ruobai offered would surely appeal to Lin Sisi.

“To fight across the lands and become the Great Cheng Dynasty’s foremost female general.”

Chu Yihan looked at Lin Sisi and shared his conjecture.

For a moment, Lin Sisi’s eyes sparkled; the desire was there, even her blood boiled with anticipation.

This was what she wanted!

To become the foremost female general.

Yet, she looked at Chu Yihan again and calmly told him, “Your Majesty, if Chen Ruobai says that, I will surely be tempted.”

This had been her wish since childhood.

“Yes.” Chu Yihan appeared profoundly introspective, accurate and predictive in everything.

But he hadn’t revealed his thoughts to Lin Sisi, only instructing her to engage in battles as usual without worrying too much, lest it affect her performance.

Lin Sisi went for her drills, leaving only Chu Yifeng and Su Yingxue in the military tent.

Su Yingxue had wanted to ask Chu Yifeng privately for a while, “You… didn’t do anything to Rong Sheng, right?”

She was both worried that Chu Yifeng might snap into madness again, and afraid that he wouldn’t lose his temper, treating Rong Sheng with cold indifference and tormenting her even more.

He was unpredictable and capricious, making it uncomfortable to be around him.

She couldn’t fathom how Rong Sheng had endured so many years before.

Chu Yifeng hadn’t done anything to Rong Sheng, but he was such a wicked person, smirking as he said, “It wasn’t much, just slept with her, just for fun.”

“Chu Yifeng!” Su Yingxue was immediately triggered and was about to shoot a silver needle at Chu Yifeng.

“Chu Yifeng.”

Chu Yihan coldly reminded him.

Chu Yifeng snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Chu Yihan walked over to Su Yingxue, took her hand, “He’s talking nonsense. He’s already forgotten Rong Sheng, so he wouldn’t touch her.”

“This person…” Su Yingxue scratched her ear, “Why is he so despicable?”

“No one in Ghost Market is normal.”

Seeing her distressed, Chu Yihan joked to console her.

Su Yingxue laughed, “True, anyone coming from that place can hardly be normal!”

“I have something to ask you.” Chu Yihan pulled Su Yingxue to sit down, holding her in his embrace, and inquired about Chu Yifeng’s situation.

Although the two of them often clashed fiercely, nowadays, Su Yingxue was looking after Chu Yifeng’s health. Su Yingxue said, “He himself is unharmed. The medicine that Sister Rong Sheng gave him to forget his feelings won’t harm his body, as long as he doesn’t do anything foolish himself.”

Su Yingxue had been monitoring Chu Yifeng’s health these past days, only to realize something. The medicine Rong Sheng used on Chu Yifeng wasn’t something developed overnight. To make him forget without harming his body, even though she had the best medical skills and was proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, developing such a medicine was still extremely taxing. Over these three years, she dedicated herself to its creation without a moment’s rest.

She had even given birth to Rong Xi, raising her, and now for their sake, she was acting as a mole inside that Gu corpse den. What kind of inner strength must a person have to achieve all this?

“Rong Sheng is a person of contradictions.”

Chu Yihan said indifferently, “Growing up beside Wu Dao, she and Chu Yifeng are very different. Together, they truly hurt themselves as well as others.”

In times of emotional entanglements, feeling almost driven to kill the other or torment them for pleasure.

It’s better now, as things are relatively peaceful between them.

Having seen too much of others’ loves and hates, Su Yingxue felt that she could not get involved, merely observing from the sidelines. Now, she found herself missing her children more.

She wrapped her arms around Chu Yihan’s neck, leaning against his chest, and softly said, “Do you miss Heng’er? Will Heng’er cry at night, missing his mother and father?”

Chu Yihan’s heart immediately softened, “He won’t cry.”

Fearing that Su Yingxue might be distracted, he hadn’t told her that he had sent Mo Qi back a few days ago to take care of Chu Heng. Now, the letters from Mo Qi all said that Chu Heng was doing well, with Chu Jinling’s guidance and Chu Xi’s company, playing happily in the palace every day.

Su Yingxue nodded. Things indeed seemed peaceful all the way in Jiang Du City, except that whenever Mo Qi was on guard duty at the palace, he couldn’t focus, the face of that woman in his mind becoming increasingly clear.

He even remembered that woman’s name.

Hong Lian.

“Seventh brother, seventh brother?” Leng Muling popped up behind him, thinking she could surprise Mo Qi.

But unexpectedly, he was just standing there, lost in thought like a wooden statue.

Mo Qi was momentarily distracted and hugged Leng Muling, exclaiming, “Hong Lian!”

Caught off guard, Leng Muling’s eyes widened. “Hong Lian… who is Hong Lian?”

She struggled out of Mo Qi’s embrace and saw the unspeakable emotion in his eyes, a deep affection she had never seen before bursting forth.

Her heart suddenly sank, “Seventh brother, who is Hong Lian? Is it a woman’s name, do… do you know her?”

She suddenly became worried. Could it be that Mo Qi still had another woman in his heart?

Mo Qi snapped back to reality, seeing the charming and cute face of Leng Muling before him, and he immediately shook his head, “No, I don’t know her, it’s just… I often think of a strange face, and today, for some reason, this name just came to mind.”
