Chapter 571: Yu Jing’s Past (Two)
Yu Jing slowly fell into his memories, holding the teacup and continuing to narrate.
“After I recovered from my injuries, Leng Yu Jun also left. At that time, I was seven, and she was thirteen.
“Ten years later, I met her by chance again, then we gradually became familiar with each other. Later, we went to train together, and travelled around the continent together. That time was very beautiful.
“The memory she left me when I was seven was very warm. She also showed that she liked me, so we naturally got together.
“But later, many clues made me realise that Leng Yu Jun had done a lot of things behind my back. At that time, I just wanted to keep that warmth and didn’t investigate further.
“Not long after, I was hunted down by the elites of the Leng Clan. Shao Qing found a lot of evidence, and unveiled her mask in public. I parted ways with her.
“But a month later, I received news that she was pregnant and trapped at an altar, and was to be executed by the Bu Clan. My heart still softened.
“So I rushed to the altar to rescue her, but I didn’t expect that it was another scheme. The Bu Clan wanted something on me, so they lured me. I slaughtered, then used that precise thing to enter the Land of Imprisonment.
“When I returned to Da Yan Kingdom, what awaited me was a dying baby and a heartless letter. Only then did I realise that I had been completely deceived and used.
“Then I went to investigate many things of the past. It turned out that the encounter at the age of seven was designed by the Bu Clan and Leng Yu Jun. The so-called warmth was just an illusion. In addition, she took your blood essence, causing you to almost die before the age of one, and I don’t know why I suddenly let go, letting go of all my feelings for her and the fake warmth in my heart.”
Yu Jing spoke very simply, and after listening to it, Yu Qing Qian also roughly knew what happened between the two of them.
“Daddy, you actually don’t love her right.” Yu Qing Qian thought for a while and said: “When you were the loneliest and most helpless, you were just confused by the warmth she deliberately created. You actually always knew that she might have another side to her, but you didn’t want to expose it too early.”
Yu Jing suddenly realised: “Maybe. At least we were very happy during the time we travelled together. It doesn’t matter whether we love each other or not anymore.”
For him right now, his daughter was the most important existence. He didn’t regret having such a relationship with Leng Yu Jun. To him, it really was just a past.
Yu Qing Qian couldn’t resist sighing that Leng Yu Jun really played out the trick of ‘white moonlight and cinnabar mole’—an indelible memory of an idealised, perfect person in one’s heart, unable to be forgotten by the other in regret. It was just a pity that when the truth was revealed, the ‘white moonlight’ became ‘sticky rice’, and the ‘cinnabar mole’ became ‘mosquito blood’. So what did she have left?
“Then Daddy, do you still remember your true background?” Yu Qing Qian asked curiously.
Yu Jing nodded: “I do. I have a deep memory of before I was sent to this continent, and through some secret means over the years, I’ve finally contacted that continent. As long as the two continents are connected again, I can take you home.”
“Is that Lou Shao Qing Daddy’s subordinate?” Yu Qing Qian recalled Lou Shao Qing’s deep gaze towards Beauty Daddy. Although the other party concealed it well, she still noticed some hints.
Speaking of Lou Shao Qing, Yu Jing’s eyes also softened a little, “He was sent to the continent with me. After I was in trouble and returned to Da Yan Kingdom when I was seven, the people arranged by the clan to protect me on this continent sent him to my side. We have actually been good friends the entire time, but to the outside, we are only a superior and subordinate.”
“You have a great relationship!” Yu Qing Qian joked with a smile.
