He was heartbroken that she wasn't thinking about saving her mother at a time like this, but instead trying to get information out of him. "Qi girl, you..."
Jiang Ziqi said coldly, "Uncle Meng, did you ask my mother if she was willing?"
"Your 'divine elixir' and 'divine pill' seem to have been obtained at the cost of countless lives. Even if she could be resurrected, she would have no face to face the world."
Meng Luo: "No! I won't let her know. Once she's resurrected, we'll leave this place!"
Jiang Ziqi seized on the implication in his words, "Leave here? You mean leave Picheng? Or Luoluo Interstellar Space?"
"Leave the Lolo Interstellar Space! Let's go somewhere where nobody knows us. Qi, you come with us too, wouldn't that be great?"
Jiang Ziqi frowned, she was suspicious, "Uncle Meng, I never knew you and my mother knew each other."
Meng Luo paused, "Your mother and I have known each other since we were little."
"From childhood?"
"My real name is Ji Luo..."
Yan Qingnuo, standing to the side, was shocked. Ji Luo? The son of Grandma Ji who had been missing for many years, the elder from the village that Aunt Yu had mentioned...
Jiang Ziqi truly had no idea that Meng Luo had such a deep relationship with her mother; it all started sixteen years ago—
Ji Luo and Jiang Yu were born in a hunter's village. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Sixteen years ago, Ji Luo was fifteen years old. According to the village's rules, boys had to go out and train alone at the age of fifteen, and could only return home after a year of training. Ji Luo carried a bow and arrows and went into the forest. However, when he returned a year later, there was a man by Jiang Yu's side. The man said his name was Bai Xingfu. He had no parents and was a wandering knight. But he wandered into the village and into Jiang Yu's heart.
That day, Ji Luo returned and saw the two of them snuggling together. Jealousy almost destroyed him. During the few days he observed them, he watched them kiss, watched the man remove Jiang Yu's clothes...
Ji Luo left. He didn't want to stay and watch Jiang Yu be affectionate and sweet with another man. He would have stayed if Jiang Yu had even the slightest unwillingness. But Jiang Yu... she was willing. She said she loved that man, so he would grant her wish.
Ji Luo never returned home. He was worried that the man would treat Jiang Yu badly, so he would secretly come back to see them every few days. Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yu's belly grew bigger, and she became pregnant with that man's child. From then on, Ji Luo never went back.
But I never imagined that goodbye would be a permanent separation.
When I returned, the village was deserted; all the familiar faces were gone.
By then, he had already changed his identity to Meng Luo. The Mercenary Alliance had just been established, and he was invited to the City Lord's Mansion. When he saw Fu Xingbai, who looked exactly like Bai Xingfu, he became suspicious.
So when I went back five years later, there was nothing left.
It took a long time of investigation to gradually learn that Bai Xingfu had betrayed Jiang Yu when she was pregnant, abandoning his wife and daughter, and taking Jiang Yu's daughter away with him.
Five years ago, Fu Xingbai told Zheng Ruofen and the Zheng family a huge lie. He said he was single. What a lie! He said he would take Jiang Ziqi back after five years because Zheng Ruofen was infertile. Otherwise, he would have thought of his wife and daughter in the remote village.
Ji Luo's feelings towards Jiang Ziqi were initially complicated. She looked too much like Fu Xingbai, but Jiang Yu's eyes were enough for him to recognize that she was Jiang Yu's daughter. It was precisely because of this that Ji Luo was willing to treat Jiang Ziqi with all his heart.
After hearing all this, Jiang Ziqi finally understood why Meng Luo was so good to her, and what kind of belief he had in resurrecting his mother. However, understanding is one thing, and comprehending is another.
