Seeing this, Rong Zi said to Cai Niu above, "Can you come down now?"
Cai Niu then hesitantly flew down from the tree.
The moment it flew down, it burrowed straight into Rong Zi's arms.
As if she had suffered some great injustice.
When Xu Chi saw it come down, he fixed his gaze on it again, and a lively expression seemed to appear on his usually calm face.
Rong Zi gripped Jun Moyao's shoulder and skillfully placed his body on her head, then placed Cai Niu on his shoulder.
After doing all this, she waved to the little girl and Xu Chi.
"You two come over here first, I have a question I want to ask you."
The two exchanged a glance and obediently followed behind Rong Zi.
Everyone sat around a table.
Cai Niu lay on Rong Zi's shoulder, her two front paws tightly wrapped around her neck, her whole head tucked into her shell, not daring to look at Xu Chi sitting opposite her.
Rong Zi was speechless at its cowardly behavior.
She took two plates of dried meat and two cups of honey tea and pushed them in front of the two children, then turned to the little girl and asked, "What's your name?"
The two children glanced at the fragrant jerky in front of them and swallowed hard in unison.
But they didn't reach out to take it.
Ning Lingling looked away from the jerky and asked a question.
"My name is Ning Lingling."
Ning Lingling.
The name sounds quite nice.
Rong Zi glanced at Xu Chi again.
Ning Lingling continued, "His name is Xu Chi."
Rong Zi nodded knowingly, then asked, "How old are you two?"
She had never seen either Xu Chi or Ning Lingling in the original novel.
It's clear that in the original story, they weren't even considered cannon fodder.
It's unknown how talented the two are.
Ning Lingling replied again, "I'm twelve years old this year, and Xu Chi is eleven."
Xu Chi didn't say anything, he just nodded.
And the movements were incredibly slow...
Rong Zi glanced at him again.
Does this kid have some kind of problem with his reflexes?
Rong Zi pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell me about your identities within the Xu family."
Both children were stunned for a moment when she asked that question.
But Ning Lingling reacted quickly, summarizing their identities in a single sentence with a relaxed tone.
"Xu Chi is Xu Liuhan's illegitimate son, while I am just an orphan who was rescued by Xu Chi's mother a few years ago."
“An illegitimate child…” Rong Zi was surprised.
Goodness.
Is this Xu Chi's status in the Xu family?
Xu Chi lowered his head and didn't speak, so Ning Lingling continued to act as his mouth mouth.
"He's not exactly an illegitimate child. The Xu family all know about Xu Chi's existence and his identity, but no one ever treats him like a human being."
Rong Zi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tell me more details."
After all, Xu Chi and the Xu family are related by blood.
She needs to find out the specifics.
Especially Xu Chi's views on the Xu family.
That way, she can decide how to treat the Xu family in the future.
Rong Zi was worried that asking too many questions might upset the two children, but Ning Lingling slammed her hand on the table, put her hands on her hips, and started scolding the Xu family.
"Speaking of those inhuman scumbags from the Xu family, I'm so angry I could grind my teeth. This time, their conspiracy was exposed, and they deserved to end up like this! Especially Xu Liuhan and Xu Xingzhi, that father and son, they deserve to die a thousand times over..."
Under Ning Lingling's indignant rant and accusations, Rong Zi gained a general understanding of her and Xu Chi's situation in the Xu family.
It turns out that Xu Xingzhi's mother passed away early.
Although Xu Liuhan did not remarry, she was quite the womanizer in private.
Xu Chi's mother was originally just an outsider in the Xu family, but somehow she caught the eye of that despicable Xu Liuhan.
Not only did he abuse her, but he also caused her to get pregnant.
Xu Chi's mother was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to give birth to an innocent little life, so she eventually gave birth to Xu Chi.
But how could Xu Xingzhi possibly tolerate Xu Chi's existence?
Xu Liuhan only had eyes for her precious son, so naturally she didn't treat Xu Chi well. The mother and son were casually sent to a dilapidated courtyard of the Xu family.
Moreover, on one occasion, Xu Xingzhi bullied Xu Chi and almost drowned him.
Xu Chi's mother couldn't stand it and attacked Xu Xingzhi, but Xu Liuhan crippled her cultivation in a fit of anger.
The mother and son's lives took an even further turn for the worse.
Anyone in the Xu family who sees them can bully them.
Ning Lingling was rescued from outside by Xu Chi's mother at that time.
At that time, Xu Chi's mother secretly escaped from the Xu family with Xu Chi, wanting to take Xu Chi away from this cannibalistic place, but they encountered Ning Lingling, who was on the verge of death, on the way.
At that time, Ning Lingling was only wearing a tattered shirt with her name sewn on it.
Xu Chi's mother gave her their last food and water, saving her life.
However, the mother and son did not get far before they were caught and brought back by the Xu family.
In Xu Liuhan's words, he didn't care whether Xu Chi's mother lived or died, but Xu Chi had his blood in his veins, so even if he died, he would die in the Xu family.
Ning Lingling was also brought back.
