Even though this drifting life could create an eternal legend, making Chu King of Hell a figure of great influence, in a son’s heart, he still hopes to have the care of his parents since childhood. In the hearts of parents, how could they not prefer to give up such a legend just to see their child grow up safe and sound?
Yang Ruolan's eyes brimmed with tears, her heart aching as if shattered!
"I still remember when Chu Yang said that, his expression was very strange..." Wu Qianqian recalled with great effort, "It was a mixture of inferiority, resentment, hatred, self-pity, and a kind of despair. At that moment, I almost cried." Yang Ruolan was also on the verge of tears. Poor child!
"At that time, I said that although your background is pitiful, your parents didn’t expect you to become such a figure of great influence when they abandoned you. If they had known, I don't know how much they would regret it..." Wu Qianqian's gaze was somewhat sorrowful, "At that time, Chu Yang gritted his teeth and said: 'When I find them, if they truly regret it and try to curry favor, I'll take my knife and end them!'"
This sentence, Wu Qianqian unconsciously mimicked Chu Yang's tone, the resentment in her voice seemingly dripping with blood!
Yang Ruolan shivered, feeling a chill rise from her soles, spreading throughout her body, surging towards her Heavenly Spirit!
In the later conversation, Yang Ruolan hardly remembered anything.
It wasn't until they were about to leave that Yang Ruolan finally regained some clarity and asked, "Qianqian, did you ever notice if he had an amethyst jade pendant when you grew up together?"
Wu Qianqian immediately replied without even thinking, "No! At least, I haven't seen one!" Then she suddenly realized something, her eyes wide in astonishment, "Senior, are you suspecting that Chu Yang is the child you lost back then? This..."
Yang Ruolan left in despair, her steps uneven, like she was sleepwalking.
When she asked about the amethyst jade pendant, Wu Qianqian’s immediate response of “no” struck her like a heavy blow! No one knew Chu Yang better than Wu Qianqian.
But Wu Qianqian said no.
Could it not be? Could it truly not be?
Yang Ruolan stepped outside, facing the night wind, her heart in turmoil. Suddenly, she felt this matter was filled with fog. After a long time, she began to sort through her thoughts.
The Chu King of Hell I had seen was clearly not the same as the one described.
The Chu King of Hell looked just like his son, and Tie Butian had said that the Chu King of Hell looked like her husband...
Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind as she recalled something Chu Feiling had said: "My sworn brother actually looks very much like me!"
Yang Ruolan trembled all over, suddenly standing still. She remembered that she had once doubted, asking, "How can someone who has only known you for two days give you so many precious gifts? Could it be a conspiracy? Or do they have some ulterior motive?"
Now recalling that conversation between the couple, Yang Ruolan suddenly burst into tears!
Could it be him?
Could it be that he understood his background back then, which is why he gave so many gifts to her husband? And even gifted a sword to herself?
After all, even the closest sworn brothers wouldn’t be so generous in just two days of acquaintance, right? Those items were far more precious than rare and precious treasures! Each one could change a person's destiny!
But if it was truly him, why not acknowledge it? Since he had given so many gifts, it indicated he no longer bore hatred. Why not recognize it?
Yang Ruolan found herself in extreme pain and conflicting emotions, suddenly squatting down, covering her face with her hands, and crying out loud...
When dawn broke, Yang Ruolan finally returned home and immediately called Chu Feiling, who was snoring. Without saying a word, she threw a wet, cold towel over his face.
Chu Feiling jolted awake, his eyes wide with energy, "What’s going on?"
"Hurry!" Yang Ruolan's expression was very strange, a mix of fear and anxiety, "Do you... do you still remember the sworn brother you told me about?"
