Chapter 755: Did You Think You Were Mutated?
"He went back to look for you but couldn’t find you, and then Han Litong committed suicide. It was probably at that time that he truly felt indebted to her. If he had explained things clearly to her, maybe he wouldn’t have harmed you, and maybe Han Litong wouldn’t have resorted to suicide. But there are no ifs. He didn’t explain because he knew Han Litong didn’t love him. He couldn’t bear to let Emperor Qin ruin her, but perhaps, in Han Litong’s heart, he wasn’t the person she hoped for either."
"He exchanged his life for Han Litong’s, partly to repay a debt, but mostly out of guilt towards you." Su Yu looked at Han Jing: "Jing’er, if Little Junior Uncle were still alive, he would surely like you very much."
Han Jing remained silent. She couldn’t help but wonder, if Fengxi hadn’t died back then, would he have tried his best to find her and treat her well? But there are no ifs.
"Master is much older than Little Junior Uncle and watched him grow up. In Master’s heart, Little Junior Uncle, me, and Xichen are all like his children. So he couldn’t just watch Little Junior Uncle die like that. He used the Divine Power within the Beiming Pearl to seal Little Junior Uncle’s soul, keeping it from dispersing, hoping that one day he could find a way to bring him back to life. But unexpectedly..."
Han Jing said dully, "But unexpectedly, the Beiming Pearl was stolen, so it was because of the matter of Fengxi’s soul being sealed within the Beiming Pearl that he fell for Xia Ji’s trap, was led into the Illusion Sea, and got trapped in the Delusion Void Array! In that case, Fengxi’s soul should also be trapped in the Delusion Void Array with it."
"That damned Han Qingjue, she’s downright sick!" Han Jing cursed. She’s really done a lot of harm!
Su Yu nodded: "So, whether Master and Little Junior Uncle have a chance to survive will depend on the day we can enter the Delusion Void Array. This is also one of the reasons I want to go to the Xia Clan."
Han Jing suddenly understood: "Since the Beiming Pearl can store Divine Power, then the Xia Clan must also possess treasures containing Divine Power. If we can get help from the Xia Clan, perhaps we’ll be able to find a way into the Delusion Void Array?"
"Yes." Su Yu clinked glasses with Han Jing and drank the wine in their cups.
Han Jing muttered, "So according to what you said, the reason I have special abilities is because I have a very powerful biological father?"
Su Yu chuckled softly, "Otherwise, do you think you mutated just relying on Han Litong’s bloodline?"
Han Jing rolled her eyes, "I’m a natural prodigy!"
Su Yu smiled and poured another glass of wine. As they drank, they had a bit too much. Although wine made from grapes isn’t very intoxicating, it was mixed with other liquors, so after three rounds, they both couldn’t help but feel a bit dizzy.
Neither Su Yu nor Han Jing are people who drink often. Han Jing really hasn’t had alcohol for a long time, so her tolerance is low.
Then she heard Su Yu ask, "Jing’er, actually, I’ve been wondering about something. You... you seemed to have changed a lot later on. Did something happen? I remember seeing you when you were a child, you were very different from... from later."
He had been puzzled by this for a long time, but it was merely a passing question because no matter what, she was always his Jing’er; that much would never change, so he never asked.
