Chapter 1400: Chapter 1399

On the way, Luo Yirui and Jing Changle didn’t say a word, taking an electric car ride back to the villa. The two entered a room.

"Where is the problem?" Jing Changle said in a deep voice.

Only a limited number of people knew his identity. On the Pengge Sect side, only the Gong Family siblings and Jing Yuansi knew, and none of these three would expose this secret. As for the small courtyard side, it’s even less likely.

Here, only Aunt Bei, Luo Yirui, and Great Grandfather Desan knew.

Luo Yirui leaned against the desk by the window, turning her head to look outside, "Don’t rush, wait until my mom comes back to talk about it."

Jing Changle remained silent.

Luo Yirui turned back, "You need to mentally prepare yourself. This matter is likely to be exposed, even two insignificant people know about it, which shows that someone must be deliberately spreading the news."

Jing Changle frowned, "Who else might know about it? Could it be my sister, or the Gong Family siblings inadvertently revealing a clue?"

Luo Yirui said nothing. That possibility wasn’t absent, but after so many years, for a clue to surface precisely at this moment seemed a bit coincidental.

"Fortunately, after preparing for so many years, even if it really gets exposed, you aren’t completely unprepared," Luo Yirui said.

But in that case, Jing Changle would have to leave the small courtyard and truly embark on his journey.

Jing Changle was also aware of this fact—in these years at the small courtyard, he experienced the most serene and fulfilling times, and he didn’t want to leave.

Luo Yirui gently patted his shoulder, "If someone is deliberately behind this, we can’t guard against it. Now, we can only try our best to find the person spreading rumors and understand their purpose and why they chose this time."

Jing Changle sighed, "Ultimately, it still implicates Qingyu."

If this matter were to be exposed, it would have a significant impact on Qingyu. If someone leads the narrative, it would be easier to guide others to push Qingyu into an unfavorable position.

Luo Yirui lightly punched his shoulder, "What are you saying? If my mom feared being implicated, she wouldn’t have kept you in the small courtyard for so many years."

Jing Changle was filled with emotion, about to say something, when he heard the servant mention that Beisitian and the others had returned.

The two immediately went downstairs, where Beisitian had already dismissed the servants, leaving just the two of them and Wei Zhongxun in the living room.

"I’ve received news that there are rumors from the Pengge Sect side that the once-lost Peng Pavilion Pride has been found," Beisitian said, slightly frowning.

Wei Zhongxun didn’t understand what was going on, feeling confused. This should be a matter concerning the Peng Pavilion; why are they closing the door for a private meeting?

"Sit down," Beisitian indicated for the three to sit.

Jing Changle felt a bit uneasy.

Beisitian said to Wei Zhongxun, "Changle’s original identity is the Peng Pavilion Pride—the child anticipated to be born over ten years ago."

Wei Zhongxun’s eyes widened suddenly, turning sharply to look at Jing Changle.

This seemed almost fantastical; their Qingyu unexpectedly harbored such a significant figure!

"I’ll tell you the ins and outs of the matter later. I hadn’t told you and Tian Zhi before because there was no way around it. The fewer people know about Changle, the better," Beisitian said.

Wei Zhongxun understood this point.

At the same time, Jing Changle’s heart felt increasingly heavy.

Aunt Bei revealing this matter now indicated that it was already widely known, clearly impossible to control.

His gaze was somber; why would it spread so widely in such a short time?
