Leng Shaoting felt nervous when he heard that he was going to see Jing Yunyao, but he didn’t feel nervous at all when he went to meet Jing Jining, even though Jing Jining was his uncle.
In fact, although Jing Jining was his uncle, they were still strangers and had never met before. Since Leng Shaoting knew nothing about him, he couldn’t make Leng Shaoting feel nervous.
They didn’t meet in Jing Jining’s room, instead going to a private room in the tea house in the hotel.
They were relatives, but other people didn’t know that, so it wasn’t appropriate if they had a secret meeting in a room.
Jing Jining wasn’t nervous or anxious when he was about to see Leng Shaoting. It wasn’t the first time he had heard of and seen Leng Shaoting, but Leng Shaoting didn’t know that he had seen him before.
However, upon thinking of Leng Shaoting, Jing Jining had mixed emotions. He was amazed by Leng Shaoting’s life experience and the way he grew up. He was also worried about what Leng Shaoting was going to face after becoming a cultivator.
No matter how difficult it would be, Jing Jining made up his mind to side with Leng Shaoting, because he stopped caring about the Jing family a long time ago.
Right when Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao approached the private room, Jing Jining opened the door, because he felt them once they moved near.
“Hi, Jining,” Jing Yunyao called him, then said to Leng Shaoting. “Shaoting, this is your Uncle Jining.”
“Uncle Jining,” Leng Shaoting politely greeted Jing Jining, but without much affection, because they were still very strange to each other now.
“Come on in!” Jing Jining invited them to come inside, and they went to sit on the sofa.
After they were seated, Jing Jining asked Jing Yunyao, “Yunyao, have you remembered anything?”
“A little over the time, but it’s too little. I have only remembered what happened before I got married,” said Jing Yunyao. She was slightly disappointed, but it was better than nothing.
At least now she was sure of her identity and her relationship with Leng Shaoting, which helped her relax.
“Since you’re getting your memories back bit by bit, you’ll get all of them back sooner or later,” said Jing Jining to comfort Jing Yunyao.
“I will!” Jing Yunyao said. She knew that she could do that sooner or later, but she couldn’t wait for it. However, no matter how impatient she was right now, she had to stay calm.
“You know what exactly has happened that year, right?” Leng Shaoting asked all of a sudden. Although he asked that question, he knew the answer was positive. Jing Yunyao might forget it after losing memories, but Jing Jining wouldn’t.
Hearing that, both Jing Yunyao and Jing Jining remained silent for a while. Jing Jining gave Jing Yunyao a glance. He didn’t know whether he should talk about it.
Jing Yunyao said, “Right, we know, but we don’t know how to explain it to you right now. Can we talk about it after you reach a high level?”
Leng Shaoting would usually show respect, give in, or wouldn’t insist in some situations, but sometimes he couldn’t give in or give up, because it was related to him. He wasn’t an outsider. If it had nothing to do with him, he wouldn’t bother to be involved.
Therefore, even though Jing Yunyao didn’t want to tell him, Leng Shaoting still continued, looking at Jing Yunyao, “I went to the place where you and my father fell from the cliff. I had a dream after coming back, and you were fighting against a man in a black robe in the dream. My father was hit down the cliff, and you jumped to rescue him. Actually, as a cultivator, you should be fine even though you jumped down the cliff, but the man in a black robe attacked your back. You lost your ability to fight back and fell down the cliff along with my father. There is a big mole under the corner of the man’s right eye. Well, it’s just a dream, so I’m not sure whether it’s true or not.”
In fact, all the pictures were seen by Gu Ning, but he wanted to hear the answer from Jing Yunyao’s mouth. He had to say it aloud, but couldn’t expose Gu Ning’s secret, so he said it was his dream.
Whether they believed it or not, he didn’t have a better excuse.
Jing Yunyao and Jing Jining were completely stunned when they heard that, and Leng Shaoting was sure that it must be true from their reaction.
He wasn’t surprised, and all he wanted to know now was who the man was and why he attacked Leng Yuanhan and Jing Yunyao.
Jing Yunyao and Jing Jining didn’t doubt Leng Shaoting’s words, because they thought only the two of them knew the truth.
Besides, Jing Yunyao lost her memories. Although she knew who attacked her, she didn’t know more details.
It was impossible for Leng Shaoting to have met the man, because Leng Shaoting might not be able to survive if he really met the man and the man told him the truth.
If the man told Leng Shaoting the truth, it meant that he knew Leng Shaoting’s identity and he wouldn’t allow Leng Shaoting to survive.
Therefore, they believed Leng Shaoting’s words. Cultivators always had a strong feeling about what their relatives were doing. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, they could still feel whether their relatives were in trouble.
However, only those who really cared about each other could feel the situation they were in. If there wasn’t a real familial relationship, they couldn’t feel each other.
Jing Yunyao and Leng Yuanhan became an obsession in Leng Shaoting’s mind, so it was understandable that he often dreamed about them.
In addition, during the past years, Leng Shaoting had been through a lot of dangerous situations, and Jing Yunyao felt about them too. Unfortunately, because she lost her memories, the feeling wasn’t strong.
She thought that Jing Jining might be in trouble, but he denied it when she asked him, so she didn’t think further about it.
Since Leng Shaoting had dreamed about the truth, there was no need for Jing Yunyao to keep it secret any longer, because it was meaningless.
“Although I couldn’t remember every detail, your dream is basically the whole story. You’ll know sooner or later, so I can tell you right now.”
“The man is my father, but we’re like enemies.” Saying that, Jing Yunyao smiled and mocked herself, but she didn’t elaborate on that.
