Chapter 20

She closed the box and prepared to return to the city, when Lin Ze appeared in front of her before taking two steps.

She quickly hid the small box in her sleeve.

Lin Ze reached out and grabbed her shoulders, looking at her with obvious anger, "Where have you been?"

Yuanchu Rong raised her face and glared at him, "I haven't asked you yet, where have you been."

Didn't he say he was coming to pick her up? No one was seen all morning.

The man's eyes were gloomy. After a long while, he let go of her, his face softened, and he held her palm with one hand instead. His palm was warm, warming her palm soaked in cold sweat.

"Go back with me."

He took her to wield a sword, but the destination was not in the direction of Jichuan City.

"Where are we going? I haven't said goodbye to Sister Yinyin yet."

He immediately lowered his face and said solemnly, "No need."

There was silence after that. He ignored her and she didn't want to talk to him. He took her back to Liluoju.

This time, there was another man and a woman who appeared together with Jingyun.

The man has clear features and a clean face, and looks very handsome. The woman has a bright face, wearing a pink dress, and her raised eyebrows make her whole person bright and majestic.

When she saw Lin Ze, the woman looked happy and said, "Your Majesty is back."

But seeing that he was still holding an extremely delicate and beautiful girl in his arms, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty is injured, I'd better take Miss Rong back to your room."

As he said that, he was about to take over Yuan Churong.

Lin Ze avoided her, took Yuan Churong's waist and went straight into Liluoju, and said coldly, "No, just keep it safe."

Jiang Xinyao watched them leave, her slender nails digging into her palms unconsciously.

Jingyun passed by her, squinting his eyes and saying calmly, "Yaoyao, do your own thing well and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

Jiang Xinyao has always been Lin Ze's loyal subordinate. Like them, she came out of the Cave of Resentful Spirits.

Before meeting the Lord, he was lingering in the Resentful Spirit Cave, where the strong ghost energy invaded his mind and tortured him to the point of being half human and half ghost.

Later, most of the ghost energy in the Resentful Spirit Cave was absorbed by Your Majesty. After his strength increased, he did not abandon them. It was Your Majesty who saved them.

He and the others were invaded by ghost energy and turned into ghost cultivators, but Jiang Xinyao was not.

She came to the Wraith Cave voluntarily.

But these years, she has always been by your side and done her job conscientiously, so he didn't dig into it.

Yuesu glanced at Jiang Xinyao, and after thinking for a while, he comforted her, "I don't think your Majesty has that kind of affection for Miss Rong. There is an indelible hatred between them. Maybe your Majesty is just playing with her."

Yuesu had always known that Jiang Xinyao had other feelings for His Majesty, but they all worked for His Majesty and listened to His Majesty's orders.

Now is not the time to be jealous.

Jiang Xinyao pursed her lips, turned and left with a cold face.

But here, Lin Ze held her in his arms and led her into the hut. She frowned. Just now the woman said that he was injured. Could it be that this was why he had been missing all morning?
What did he do and he got hurt?

She gritted her teeth, but she couldn't resist the worry in her heart. She asked him in a low voice, "Lin Ze, where are your injuries? Can you let me see where you are?"

She broke away from his big hand and looked up and down to see where his wound was.

Lin Ze said nothing and looked at her quietly.

Yuan Churong was a little anxious and took his arm to check carefully.

He raised his hand to cover her fingers on his forearm, holding them gently, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Are you worried about me?"

The girl pursed her lips, and her long eyelashes trembled immediately. She raised her eyes to look at him for a while, without any retreat in her eyes, "Yes." So, let me see, don't let me worry.

Satisfied with her answer, Lin Ze raised the corners of his lips and was in a good mood, "I have nothing to do. Do you still blame me for being late today?"

She shook her head obediently, and he smiled, his originally cold face softening a lot.

He also gave her Lingxiao Flower to help her absorb the spiritual power in the flower.

Yuan Churong could finally feel the abundant spiritual energy filling his body.

From now on, he can protect himself even when he is no longer by his side.

She was a little happy. When she opened her eyes again, it was almost night.

Lin Ze was no longer in her room, and she was not sleepy. She thought that he might be tired and went to rest, so she wanted to make him something to eat.

I found Li Luoju's kitchen and cooked him a bowl of lotus paste soup, but found that he was not in the room.

Where are you going?
She looked around and saw no one, not even Jingyun and the others.

Liluoju was surrounded by a formation. After thinking about it, she used the tracking technique Lin Ze taught her to connect to his approximate location.

Just follow the route, and in the night, the shadows of the dancing trees shine on the corners of the wall.

After walking around the fence and deep in the bamboo forest, I really saw him.

He changed into a cold white robe, his figure was tall and straight, and he turned sideways. The half of his face that he could see was covered with a hazy jade color by the moonlight. Give out light.

The whole person was silent and blended into the night.

A stone tablet was erected in front of Lin Ze. His eyes fell on the tablet with deep eyes.

When he found her coming, his eyes fell on her, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Come here."

Yuan Churong approached and found that there were only two words engraved on the stone tablet: Lin Xiao.

"This is my father's tomb." He explained to her, but his eyes were calm, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him.

In the original book, his father is from the ghost world, and it is said that he has a good relationship with his mother, Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin was originally the youngest daughter of a family in the fairy world, innocent and pretty.

He met Lin Xiao when the ghost world was not closed, and the two fell in love with each other while traveling together and made a lifelong promise.

Later, Mrs. Qin became pregnant and followed Lin Xiao back to the ghost world despite her family's objections. Later, due to the war between the two realms, Lin Xiao died in the battle and Mrs. Qin disappeared.

In the book, the male protagonist searches for his mother but is later told that her mother is dead, which makes him disheartened. The inner demons take the opportunity to invade his mind and almost lose his mind.

But that day, Mrs. Qin grabbed her like crazy and kept cursing, wasn't it Lin Ze's father?
Since the two were so deeply in love, why did they let Lin Ze live such a miserable life in Luoxian Mountain, and why did they call Lin Xiao a devil or a beast?
Therefore, what happened between Mrs. Qin and Lin Ze's father to make Mrs. Qin hate her so deeply.

Not even his own son came to see him.

In her sleeve, there was Mrs. Qin's wooden box.

She secretly stroked the carvings on the surface with her fingers, lost in thought.

"When I was a child, I always wondered where my parents were and why they gave birth to me but did not raise me. Later, someone told me that my father was from the ghost world and was born cruel and cold. My mother could not be with him. It’s because he’s lost his mind and it won’t end well.”

"They all said he was dead, so I built a monument for him."

Lin Ze's eyes were a little confused, "As for my mother, I want to find her and ask her personally why she hasn't come to see me for so many years. Am I really not worthy of love?"

She opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she had met his mother, Mrs. Qin, but when she opened her mouth, the blood in her body began to boil, like boiling water, and she was still unable to tell the truth.

It was the blood curse controlling her.

Yuan Churong felt a little uncomfortable and had a sore nose. She could only hold his sleeve and said seriously, "Maybe she just doesn't know where you are. If she knew, she would definitely come to find you."

Lin Ze lowered his eyes and looked at her slender white fingers, "Really?"

 thanks for reading.
