Chapter 265: You can’t say it, I’ll say it for you.
"Ah? What did I say?"
It seems that he doesn't remember.
Master Hua Cen lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Dongyue became more and more flustered.
"Mother, why don't you remind me? I was in a coma at the time, and I really don't remember what I said." Did she let something slip while she was in a coma? It should be... impossible.
But she still remembered that nightmare.
She dreamed of the words her father said when he was about to die. She had often dreamed of them over the years, but she didn't have the habit of talking in her sleep, so nothing had happened.
But the nightmare seemed to intensify her emotions, making her feel at that moment that she had really returned to that time.
"You said, Mom, I miss you."
Master Hua Cen raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Dongyue.
Zhao Dongyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard these words.
She smiled and explained sheepishly: "Yes, I was thinking about my mother."
"You said, Dad, I miss you so much."
The smile on Zhao Dongyue's face suddenly froze.
"I..." She was flustered for a moment, then explained: "I don't know why I called my father. My memory of him has long been very vague. I can't remember it clearly at all."
She bit her lip and explained weakly: "Mom, I really don't know why I said that."
If it were any other time, Master Hua Cen would have softened his heart long ago.
Nor would he ask Zhao Dongyue again.
But now, there was still no expression on her face.
"You also said, Dad, don't worry, she treats me very well, you and mom can rest assured, I will take good care of myself and treat her like I treat mom..."
Master Hua Cen repeated it expressionlessly.
The string called reason in my heart is still there, but it has begun to become taut and I don’t know when it will break.
This time Zhao Dongyue was really panicked.
If the previous words can be explained as unconscious words, then what about these words? These words sound like what Zhao Dongyue is saying to her biological parents.
Zhao Dongyue forced herself to calm down.
After a while, she spoke slowly: "My mother treated me very well, and I have long treated her as my own mother. But sometimes I do think of my childhood and think that my parents might be worried about me, so I said that, just to let my parents in the afterlife rest in peace. After all, my mother treated me like her own daughter."
After she said that, she looked at Master Hua Cen cautiously.
"Mother, are you unhappy because I missed my parents?"
Mother...
In the past, when Master Hua Cen heard Zhao Dongyue call her like this, she was always very happy, because in this way, she seemed to be closer to Lu Wuwei, as if she was really Zhao Dongyue’s mother, and Lu Wuwei was Zhao Dongyue’s father.
So every time Zhao Dongyue called her like this, she would treat Zhao Dongyue as her real daughter.
But now it sounds so harsh.
Because she found that Zhao Dongyue called her biological mother "mother" and called her "mother".
She couldn't tell which one was closer to her, but she always felt uncomfortable calling him or her differently.
"No." Master Hua Cen shook his head.
Before Zhao Dongyue could finish her breath, she heard Master Hua Cen say, "I just want to know what you mean by these words. Of course, you don't have to explain the previous words, but I hope you can explain the next sentence."
She said, standing up from the futon.
Looking down at Zhao Dongyue.
Zhao Dongyue calmed down her uneasy emotions and smiled.
"Okay, then you say, mother."
"You said in your coma, 'I know Dad loves Mom very much. I won't misunderstand you. Don't worry, Mom. I know Dad is doing this for my better life.'"
As he spoke, Master Hua Cen stared at Zhao Dongyue, not missing any of her expressions.
Her pressure was inadvertently leaked out, leaving Zhao Dongyue, who was in the Qi Refining Stage, without any power to resist. She also dared not to play any tricks. With every word she uttered, Zhao Dongyue's face turned paler.
In the end, Zhao Dongyue's body began to tremble.
"Why? Can't you explain it?"
“No, no…”
"What is that? Are you afraid that if you really explain it, I will no longer pamper you and protect you?"
Master Hua Cen mercilessly said what Zhao Dongyue feared most.
Yes, she is afraid.
She was afraid that Master Hua Cen would know the truth and no longer love and protect her. Her spiritual roots were not good. If she didn't have Master Hua Cen and the resources to support her, how could she survive and cultivate? She had always known it.
So ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been very careful in everything I do, strictly following my parents' instructions before they died.
She never slacked off in her daily practice, but her spiritual roots were not good, and no matter how much she practiced, she did not make much progress. Later, when Master Hua Cen found out, he gave her many elixirs and magic weapons to improve her cultivation, and told her not to worry, saying that even if he used elixirs and magic weapons to attack her, he would be able to help her reach the golden elixir stage.
Although Zhao Dongyue had always remained calm, believing that sooner or later Master Hua Cen would no longer favor her, she had actually become accustomed to Master Hua Cen's kindness to her over the years.
But now she is only able to practice Qi, and without Master Huacen and Qingyu Sect, she will not be able to survive.
Of course she was scared.
But she could only shake her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"No, that's not the case. Mother, please listen to my explanation..."
Master Hua Cen had a cold expression.
Zhao Dongyue had never seen Master Hua Cen treat her like this before. She was terrified to the extreme. She was like a person falling off a cliff, and only Master Hua Cen's rope could pull her up.
At this time, Master Hua Cen just stood on the edge of the cliff looking at her, deciding whether to pull her up.
She was extremely flustered.
"You talk, I'm listening." She didn't feel relaxed at all when she heard what Master Hua Cen said.
Because she couldn't explain it.
Under the other party's pressure, she couldn't tell a lie.
Even if she said it out loud, the other party would notice it. In the past, when Master Hua Cen saw her, he always restrained all his aura. Now, if he didn't restrain himself, she found that the difference between Jindan and Qi Refining was like heaven and earth, and she was completely under the other party's control.
"I……"
She couldn't explain it.
Finally, she knelt on the ground as if all the life had been sucked out of her. She gasped for breath, cold sweat pouring out of her forehead, and a person's face flashed through her mind.
"Ayan..." She murmured, a faint hope rising in her heart.
There was no fluctuation in Master Hua Cen's eyes.
That's just the way she is.
Those who love you want you to live; those who hate you want you to die.
"You can't say it, I'll say it for you."
"Before they died, Lu Wuwei and Danqing were worried that you would have no one to take care of you after they died, so they informed me and wanted me to take care of you, is that right or not?"
Zhao Dongyue was silent for a moment, then said in a trembling voice: "Yes."
"But they also know that I already have Xu Qiuqian, so it's impossible for me to treat you as my own daughter. So after discussing it, Lu Wuwei decided to use his passionate confession before his death in exchange for your bright future. Is that right or not?"
