Jiang Heng felt a chill run down his spine.
So this is how it is!
"You just said the Rashomon Sect Leader stole three children from the Huo Family, besides Song Chi and that illegitimate child, isn’t there one more?" Jiang Heng was a bit tense as he asked Zheng Qin, "Whose child is the third one?"
"That child." Zheng Qin curled her lips disdainfully, saying, "That child is actually the offspring of the Rashomon Sect Leader forcibly making Her Highness the Princess’s maid give birth!"
"The Rashomon Sect Leader landed on the island back then just to take that child away. But come to think of it, he probably died in that clearing operation long ago."
After speaking, Zheng Qin glanced at Jiang Heng gleefully.
Noticing Jiang Heng’s face had turned pale, Zheng Qin deliberately added, "It’s better that he’s dead; if he’s still alive, he’d best stay far away. Otherwise, once discovered by the noble families, they’ll definitely tear him to pieces!"
Hearing this, Jiang Heng’s legs felt weak.
He turned and walked toward the bar, his silhouette looking like he’d lost his soul.
Zheng Qin exchanged a glance with Song Chi, asking him, "How was it? I didn’t get my lines wrong, did I?" This was all a script given to him by the future Lady Captain; he’d memorized it several times.
Song Chi nodded, praising him, "Not a word off."
Only then did Zheng Qin feel at ease.
He frowned as he looked at Jiang Heng’s shaking back, asking, "Is Jiang Heng really the son of the Rashomon Sect Leader?"
Song Chi remained silent.
Zheng Qin continued, "Brother Chi, why would Miss Xu reveal his lineage to him? Wouldn’t it be better for that fool Jiang Heng to storm into the Moon Palace to acknowledge his relatives, only to have the Old Helmsman and Lady Belial personally reveal the truth, exposing his ugly lineage, and letting his enemies hunt him down?"
Zheng Qin didn’t quite agree with Xu Xingguang’s approach.
He thought Xu Xingguang was still too merciful.
Song Chi pondered for a moment, a barely noticeable smile appeared, and he said, "Jiang Heng is conceited; after the revelation that he isn’t Jiang Mantian’s biological son, he resolutely left the Jiang Family, aiming at Divine Concealment Island to start anew, all to humiliate the Jiang Family, cementing his position as the Family Head with his own strength, isn’t it?"
"He calculated meticulously, suddenly discovering that his biological father was a killing demon despised by the noble families; wouldn’t he feel disappointed? Wouldn’t he be scared?"
"This is a blood feud; no matter how capable he is, he’ll never gain forgiveness from the noble families’ main gates. He is a ruthless man, fully aware that once his true lineage is exposed, he’ll face revenge from the noble families."
"Under such circumstances, he can barely hide; how can he start anew?"
"For his entire life, he’ll have to live in hiding, with no peace." Song Chi chuckled lightly, saying, "Isn’t living like that more satisfying than him just dying?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Zheng Qin listened to Song Chi’s analysis and sincerely gave him a thumbs up. "Brother Chi’s analysis is excellent." A dull knife kills more painfully than a sharp sword; the Young Madam wants Jiang Heng to be a lifelong outcast.
Yet thinking that only a bad person can understand another’s mind, Zheng Qin thought Song Chi wasn’t as harmless as he seemed.
Indeed, like master, like follower.
Luckily, their Pilot is a handsome and kind-hearted person, which is why they can gather a group of young people who are good, upright, and exemplary like themselves.
.
Song Chi had analyzed Jiang Heng’s psychology with great precision; at that moment, Jiang Heng was deeply conflicted, caught in a self-doubt of how he could possibly be the son of the Rashomon Sect Leader.
Just before meeting Song Chi, Jiang Heng was still fantasizing about being the son of Huo Canghai.
He was blissfully thinking when he helped Song Chi secure the helm, he’d be the Young Helmsman’s little uncle. From then on, both the Huo Family on Divine Concealment Island and the Jiang Family on West Continent would have to bow to him.
But in just ten minutes, that dream was shattered.
He wasn’t Huo Canghai’s illegitimate child; he was the son of the Rashomon Sect Leader!
The very killing demon that every noble family loathed to their bones, yearning to drink his blood!
How could he be the son of the Rashomon Sect Leader?
Jiang Heng didn’t want to believe it was true; he suspected Zheng Qin of deliberately deceiving him.
No, he must verify its truth! freewēbnoveℓ.com
Leaving the clubhouse, standing by the coastal highway, Jiang Heng leaned against the roadside barrier, taking out a cigarette to light.
