Chapter 2: Repaying Favors



The tone was not polite.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, and timidly said something inappropriate:

"W-why…"

She didn't know the other person. She only had a vague impression of the musician's appearance, but couldn't remember his name.

Why are you willing to share your life-sustaining food with her?

Even the once extremely noble Lady of Liang was nothing more than a death row prisoner in this cell, being humiliated at will. How could a stranger be willing to cut off her flesh and feed it to the eagle?

Could it be that there is another purpose...

Thinking of the offense of those soldiers just now, Mrs. Liang bit her lower lip and reached out to pinch her collar.

Chen Kuang knew very well what she was wondering about.

Emperor Liang considered himself elegant and indulged in sensual pleasures all year round. He loved watching music and dance. There were 120 people in the dance and music troupe in the palace alone. It would be strange if she could remember them all.

But...it's better not to know him.

Chen Kuang smiled silently and spoke:

"Madam, you forgot that three years ago, I made a mistake and was whipped by Luo Lezheng. Madam happened to pass by and saved my life."

"I remember it very clearly. I heard someone say that day that the lady was wearing a green dress... I imagined she was as beautiful as a fairy."

His tone softened again now.

Mrs. Liang Guo sensed a hint of passion and charm in the young man's tone in the dim cell. She was startled and quickly lowered her head.

Fortunately, he seemed to realize his mistake and whispered sincerely:

"I kept it in my heart then, but I never thought I would be able to repay it today."

Upon hearing this, Lady Liang was stunned.

She originally had no impression of this, but the other party spoke in a dignified manner and provided sufficient details, so she felt as if this was indeed the case.

Green dresses were not her favorite color, but she wore them quite often. She was kind and gentle by nature, and if she saw a palace maid being punished, she would speak out to stop it.

If he really saved a young musician because of this, it would be reasonable, but if he thinks carefully, he can't remember exactly when or which time it was.

In fact...

Of course not.

It is true that Chen Kuang was framed and made a mistake, and received severe punishment, but firstly, his life was not in danger, and secondly, there was no incident of Lady Liang from the beginning to the end.

However, all the other musicians who were familiar with Chen Kuang, including Luo Lezheng, have died in Jinghe Hall.

A lie that no one can expose is the truth.

In order to make his motive more credible, Chen Kuang also appropriately expressed his admiration.

——For a woman whose life is hanging by a thread, a man’s love may give her a greater sense of security than any life-saving grace.

Mrs. Liang lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and picked up the steamed bun.

"Thank you, may I know your name..."

"Chen Kuang."

The young man opposite reached out and wrote his name crookedly in the dust on the ground.

Such ugly words...

Mrs. Liang murmured at first, then was suddenly startled.

Although the two characters "Chen Kuang" were ugly, they looked neat and straight in her eyes, without a single stroke wrong. The two of them were sitting opposite each other at the moment - the other was writing his name backwards!

No one would often practice how to write their name backwards, so Chen Kuang must have been improvising.

This skill is no less than drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand.

What's more, he's a blind man...

Mrs. Liang had seen many extraordinary people, but she was still surprised by this one.

The young man shrouded in darkness, apart from his kindness and offense, was also a bit mysterious.

The woman was filled with gratitude and whispered, "If you are lucky enough to survive, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Need not."

The young man opposite seemed to smile. "I'm just repaying a favor. How can I expect you to repay me in return? I've only heard of revenge, but never of repaying kindness."

As long as you... or the person behind you comes to rescue you, remember the favor of this meal and take me away, that will be enough.

Emperor Liang had only one daughter.

In other words, the mother and daughter next door... are the last royal bloodline of Liang State.

The prison guards spoke disrespectfully to them, but they did not dare to touch them directly. At most, they just threatened them.

Chen Kuang speculated that General Feifeng of the Great Zhou might want to use them to lure out the remaining forces of the Liang State.

This world, countries, and sects are interdependent.

Naturally, there were also cultivators loyal to the royal family in Liang State.

Chen Kuang didn't know how powerful this force was, but at least it was definitely much stronger than him, a rookie who was no different from an ordinary person at this stage.

Madam Liang took a sip of her steamed bun and smiled softly, her eyes brightening a little. "Then... I am done with Mr. Chen."

Actually...it's okay if you can't take it with you.

When his body was running a high fever, his soul had already squeezed in and heard a lot of gossip among the jailers.

The Great Zhou army did not intend to massacre the city. Among the more than 2,000 prisoners, except for some important figures who had to be killed, the rest would be made slaves on the spot after the matter was over and incorporated into the 50,000 Zhou army to help with work.

I just don’t know what this so-called “thing” is.

Chen Kuang touched his eye sockets and seemed to still feel the high temperature of his eyeballs that seemed to melt when the high fever did not subside.

An elixir of immortality that came from nowhere...an eye disease that was cured...

I feel a little uneasy for some reason.

Now, his only sense of security is probably that the "fetal breathing method" is passively running at all times, bringing spiritual cleansing to his body, slowly forming a thin tide, and impacting the closed eighth acupoint again and again.
