801 ‘Honest’ Nonsense (1/2)

Ping Yang gazed at Lin Mubai calmly, only to reveal a hint of desolation in her eagerness.

Everyone was envious of her ever since she was born into the royal family. She lived a luxurious life without ever worrying about food or shelter, and she was even the most beloved child of the emperor of Great Xia Dynasty.

Despite all that, she had always suffered from the pain of losing her loved one.

She had never enjoyed the company and love of her mother ever since she was young. Worse still, she had never seen or talked to her mother before.

However, now that she knew about her mother's whereabouts and had a chance to see her, she suddenly discovered that she was the cause to her mother's disappearance.

Death?

Ping Yang wasn't afraid of dying!

The problem was that she couldn't even see her mother once even if she died. Her pain and suffering were only known to those who had been in the same situation before.

”Ping Yang, don't be worried. It is impossible to seal someone with another person's life. Don't… Don't be deceived by Cang Yue…” Lin Mubai understood Ping Yang's thoughts from her expression.

”It's not your life, it's your bloodline! Although I was too lowly to witness the process of sealing my master, I am certain about it! You are the only person capable of sealing my master!” Cang Yue interrupted Lin Mubai.

”Bloodline?” Ping Yang turned towards Cang Yue.

”That's right, only a related bloodline could be used to establish the seal, and the seal could only be broken by severing the connection between the bloodlines. Since you know the truth now, what do you plan to do?” Cang Yue replied coldly.

”What… What do I plan to do…” Ping Yang seemed depressed and confused.

What was she going to do under such circumstances? Was there anyone who could tell her what to do? How was she supposed to decide between life or death!

Ping Yang was at a loss for words.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower also chose to remain silent. Although they hated Ping Yang, they could sympathize with her pain, that she couldn't see her mother even if she died.

Qian Ye didn't say a word either. She seemed to be waiting for something to happen, and so did Fang Zhengzhi.

However, they were waiting for different reasons.

”If you didn't become a Sage, master could still be released after you become 100 years old. But….Why did you become a Sage? Why could you become a Sage even though you are talentless?!” Cang Yue sounded like she was in pain.

”You're right… Why… Why did I become a Sage?” Ping Yang looked up at the sky in a daze.

At this moment, she finally realized why Cang Yue appeared when she was on the verge on death six months ago, but her mother didn't.

Similarly, she also understood why Cang Yue wanted her dead so badly, and why she kept forcing her to change her name again and again.

As her mother's servant, Cang Yue hated Ping Yang. However, she could never kill Ping Yang personally. No matter how strong her hatred was, she had to do her job as a servant.

The only thing that Ping Yang couldn't understand was how fate could be so cruel?!

She entered Ling Yun Tower and waited for a whopping six months, only to find out that she had to kill herself to save her mother.

”Can't I see my mother even if I died? Even… Even if I died?!” Ping Yang clenched her fists tightly as her tears started flowing out. She was unwilling to accept her fate, because it felt like a knife stabbing her heart. The pain was so immense that she was trembling and unable to hold herself together.

At this moment, she felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand moved up her tender face and wiped her tears away.

Even though it seemed frivolous, Ping Yang didn't react at all. That was because she couldn't sense any disrespectfulness in his eyes. All she felt was his love.

”Everyone thought that I would die half a year ago, but aren't I still alive?” Fang Zhengzhi said seriously.

”But…”

”I know that this isn't the same thing. However, couldn't we treat both of them similarly, given how slim the chances are in both cases?”

”Shameless, I…”

”Do you trust me?”

”I… I trust you!” Ping Yang hesitated, but she eventually nodded her head.

”Alright, do you trust me if I tell you that there is another person in the world, apart from you, who shares the same bloodline as your mother?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled at Qian Ye as he said that.

”Another person?” Ping Yang trembled.

”How could there be another person? Ping Yang is my master's only child!” Cang Yue scoffed at Fang Zhengzhi.

However, Qian Ye trembled when Fang Zhengzhi said that and even her hands moved.

Although it wasn't obvious, Fang Zhengzhi noticed it, and he was delighted to see that.

If Fang Zhengzhi wasn't certain about it previously, he was now at least 50% sure that he guessed it correctly.

”You aren't wrong to say that Yu Er only has one child, but she still has a servant, doesn't she?” Fang Zhengzhi held his sword tighter and left a minor cut on Cang Yue's throat.

”What do you mean?” Said Cang Yue with her eyes wide open.

”How do you sign a master-servant contract?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

”Obviously with mine and my master's blood… Are you saying that I am related to my master's bloodline as well?” Cang Yue's expression changed.
