Chapter 555: Little Jing Zi Loses Her Temper
She wasn’t someone who couldn’t handle grievances, Han Jing had been through so much that when she had to endure some grievances, it was no big deal to her.
She came to find Lian Xichen because she indeed needed his help, so even if he made things difficult for her due to her lack of ability or other reasons, she didn’t mind. But what was this? Just because of her face, he gave her the cold shoulder?
Fine, she could tolerate that, but what did he mean by saying that? He said he would go back with them, but wouldn’t follow her arrangements. Then why would she want him to go back with them at all?
Not to mention that the person trapped now was his master who had taught him for years, and the injured amnesiac was his senior brother, his contribution should be expected. Of course, even if he didn’t want to go back, she had no right to blame him. But saying it like that, did he think he could handle everything by himself?
Their current opponent was Xia Ji, even Su Yu wasn’t a match for Xia Ji. They were now up against Xia Ji, Lingyou Hall, and might even have to face Beihan Palace, nearly contending with half the Spirit Cultivation Realm’s forces. Could he do it alone?
If they just wanted someone to go back and show off, what was the point of her effort? If she cultivated a few more years, she could go and scold Xia Ji too, but would it be of any use?
If Lian Xichen was so uncooperative, taking him back was pointless. What they needed to do couldn’t be accomplished by one person alone.
Lan Ling bragged to her about how capable and loyal Lian Xichen was, ha, such a conceited person judging by appearance, she wouldn’t dare use him even if invited back!
Han Jing suddenly stood up from the chair, first glanced at Qin Shutong, and spoke bluntly: "Mr. Qin, we’ve met, and I’m not one to beat around the bush. I know you are the Emperor of Dong Qin Country, and you all think I resemble the former Consort Li, the previous Palace Master Han Litong of Beihan Palace in the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Since there’s not much to it, I’m not afraid of losing face, and I have nothing unspeakable."
Qin Shutong froze for a moment, then chuckled: "I was abrupt, concealing my identity had no other purpose, just hoping everyone could be at ease. Feel free to speak your mind, Miss Han. I’m honored you’re willing to be frank with me."
Han Jing nodded, by comparison, Qin Shutong hadn’t once used the word "I" in imperial terms from start to finish, nor did he put on airs with them, so Han Jing appreciated him more. As an emperor, achieving this was no easy feat. Though it might be hard to become close friends, his character was one worth associating with. Having shown interest in them all along, she knew he wanted to know her relationship with Han Litong.
Although it wasn’t clear why he was so eager to know, there seemed to be no conflict of interest between them, so Han Jing didn’t mind letting him know.
So, Han Jing said directly: "I don’t know if Han Litong is truly my birth mother, I only know that twenty-two years ago, which was when you said it snowed heavily in early summer in Yanjing City, my mother found me in the forest just outside Yanjing City and took me back."
