Chapter 1287: Chapter 1282: Trying to Deceive Me?
Chu Xi felt devastated, tears streaming down her rosy cheeks, “Mommy…”
Her little hand wanted to grasp Rong Sheng’s, stretching out only to timidly retract and rest at the side of the bed, afraid to make contact.
“From now on, you shall be your daddy’s daughter. Remember, you must never mention to anyone that you have a mother.”
Rong Sheng tucked her hand back under the blanket, watching as Chu Xi bit her lip and nodded through her tears.
She turned and left to the sound of Chu Xi’s soft sobs.
From that moment on, she had no further ties to the father and daughter.
When she came out, Ah Hong was waiting outside, blocking Rong Sheng’s way.
It wasn’t to make things difficult, but to directly ask Rong Sheng, “The medicine you administered this time, will it impede the master’s activities in the coming days? If it will, I must ask you to stay, as the master has ordered that he cannot be without the Miss’s company.”
Rong Sheng had to heal him before she could leave.
Rong Sheng glanced at him indifferently, “He will be fine by tomorrow morning and will not delay accompanying Chu Xi.”
Ah Hong was skeptical.
He planned to wait until Chu Yifeng awoke and have someone from Silver Moon Pavilion check his pulse before letting Rong Sheng go.
In Rong Sheng’s indifferent eyes, “After he wakes up, he will no longer remember me, provided no one brings it up.”
“You mean…” Ah Hong’s eyes widened in surprise.
Years of serving by Chu Yifeng’s side had made him the most unflappable of all.
Yet even so, he was taken aback by Rong Sheng’s words.
He let Rong Sheng go because she never lied.
She disdained it.
But the ruthlessness of Rong Sheng still shocked him.
Ah Hong had witnessed the mutual torment between her and Chu Yifeng for years; after Rong Sheng left, he stood guard outside Chu Yifeng’s door and somehow felt, “This is for the best.”
Why torture each other to death?
Even if it was until old age, the pain was embedded in the soul.
Better to part ways.
Once Rong Sheng left the residence, she lost her protection.
Because she had informed Su Yingxue beforehand, no one stopped her.
But when Su Yingxue found out, she ultimately sighed for a good while.
It wasn’t long after her departure that she was invited to a place.
Chen Ruobai had no intention of kidnapping Rong Sheng; he simply gave her a white box and took her to the Xiao family’s underground Stone Chamber.
Because she had been practicing gu increasingly frequently, the scent of blood was strong.
Apart from Xiao Muyan, who could tolerate it, no one else dared or could remain undisturbed enough to step in here.
Only she, Rong Sheng, in her white dress, floating like an immortal, with a face as beautiful as the Banished Immortal, could not be said to be undisturbed—it was more like she had no expression at all.
More indifferent than indifference itself.
Chen Ruobai took one look at her cool elegance and greatly admired it, even held her in reverence.
Her own suffering was far greater than Rong Sheng’s, but she couldn’t always maintain a detached calm; Rong Sheng could.
Thus, she treated Rong Sheng more courteously than she treated Xiao Muyan.
She smiled and said, “Doctor Rong, please have a seat.”
Rong Sheng frowned almost imperceptibly, “You’ve also traveled through time?”
This tone was familiar and made her very guarded.
Seeing Rong Sheng take the bait, Chen Ruobai didn’t answer directly, the smile on her lips deepening, “Hearing you say that, I feel an even stronger sense of familiarity. It seems I made no mistake in seeking you out.”
Rong Sheng placed the white box in front of her, asking only, “Three years ago, you traveled through time, but Ji Yun Country’s rise began almost seven years ago. You’re lying to deceive me.”
Chen Ruobai raised an eyebrow—this woman was indeed sharp and clear-headed!
