2323 Just a Stranger

Somehow, she felt this man looked very familiar, but he seemed very young. He should be about twenty-four.

If she was just familiar with his face, it wasn't a big deal, because they might have met before and she couldn't remember his face. However, the point was that she felt there was intimacy between them. How could that be possible?

Leng Shaoting noticed that Jing Yunyao was sizing him up. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually quite excited in his heart, because she was his mother! She had only lost her memories.

Gu Ning just told him that cultivators could live longer, especially cultivators at high levels. They could stay young forever. So because Jing Yunyao was at a high level, she seemed to be in her early thirties.

Therefore, Leng Shaoting didn't have doubts when he saw that Jing Yunyao looked much younger than he thought.

In addition, he found that she closely resembled the woman in his memories. Most importantly, he had a strange feeling that they were very close. Only mother and son could have such intimacy.

"Mrs. Jing, do you think he looks very familiar?" Gu Ning asked in an affirmative tone.

Jing Yunyao came back to her senses, but didn't reply to Gu Ning right away. She stared straight at Gu Ning, trying to figure out her purpose from her expression. However, she couldn't see any malice from Gu Ning's expressions. Gu Ning must be good at acting, or she really had no evil purpose.

Anyway, Jing Yunyao still didn't answer Gu Ning's question. Instead, she asked, "When can you tell me the truth of the accident which happened fifteen years ago?"

"I can tell you about it right now," said Gu Ning. She wasn't worried that Jing Yunyao might regret agreeing to help her deal with the fake Leng Shaoting in the cave if she told her about it now, because she had spent some time with Jing Yunyao and knew that Jing Yunyao always kept her promises. So she was willing to trust her.

"Aren't you afraid I'll leave and won't help you deal with your enemy if you tell me right now?" Jing Yunyao was surprised that Gu Ning was willing to trust her.

Since Jing Yunyao asked that question, it proved that she was an honest person.

"I know you, and I think I can trust you. If you really regret it, it only means that you don't believe me. After all, I'm just a stranger to you right now," said Gu Ning.

If Jing Yunyao wouldn't help her deal with the fake Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning wouldn't blame Jing Yunyao. She would only think that Jing Yunyao didn't believe her. After all, she was just a stranger to Jing Yunyao, and it was understandable if Jing Yunyao didn't believe her. Therefore, even if Jing Yunyao didn't help her, she wouldn't complain about it.

Hearing Gu Ning's answer, Jing Yunyao said nothing further. Although she wasn't sure whether she would get along with Gu Ning in the future, she wouldn't regret it as long as Gu Ning told the truth.

"If you don't mind, we can talk about it while we climb up the mountain. The person I'm going to deal with is in the cave up the mountain," said Gu Ning.

"No problem," said Jing Yunyao.

After that, three of them climbed up the mountain and Gu Ning said to Jing Yunyao, "Because you didn't want to stay in the cultivation world, you left and met a man called Leng Yuanhan."

Gu Ning told Jing Yunyao how she met Leng Yuanhan and fell in love with him and they got married afterwards. Because Gu Ning didn't know many details, she only told her a brief story.

Jing Yunyao was shocked to know that she actually had a husband and a son. Unfortunately, her husband died fifteen years ago.

"Where is my son now?" Jing Yunyao asked in a hurry.

"This is your son. His name is Leng Shaoting," said Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Jing Yunyao was struck dumb. She immediately turned to look at Leng Shaoting. He was her son? In an instant, she had mixed emotions. No wonder she felt there was intimacy between them. Unexpectedly, he was her son.

At this moment, Leng Shaoting lost control of his excitement. Because he usually stayed cold, he didn't have an emotional reaction. "You're indeed exactly the same as my mother. You only look younger. Gu Ning told me that you're a cultivator at a high level, so you can stay young for a long time."

Because Jing Yunyao had no memory of her marriage and son, she had stayed alone for the past years. Now her son suddenly showed up, and she didn't know what to say or do all of a sudden. Anyway, she had no intention of pushing Leng Shaoting away. Instead, she felt quite comforted. They were related by blood after all!

"I'm sorry, I can't remember anything now, so…" Jing Yunyao apologized.

His biological mother was right in front of him now, but she couldn't remember him. It was painful, so Jing Yunyao apologized to Leng Shaoting.

She felt bad about it, because she couldn't remember her son even if her son was right in front of her.

"Never mind." Leng Shaoting understood that it wasn't easy for Jing Yunyao to digest the shocking news within a short time, so he didn't urge her. He only felt a little sad, because it was such a twist of fate!

After composing herself, Jing Yunyao asked, "Why did Leng Yuanhan and I die?"

She always wanted to know why she was injured, but Jing Jining only told her that she would be killed if she dared to enter the cultivation world again.

She believed that she must have messed with someone, and the person who wanted her dead must be at a higher level than her. She was no match for that person, so she stayed out of the cultivation world.

Although she was a member of the Jing family, the Jing family had a very important and stable position in the cultivation world. She was only an unimportant daughter in the Jing family, so her father wouldn't stand out for her against anyone. However, it seemed more complicated than she thought.

"You fell in love with a mortal, which was against the rules in the cultivation world, so your father got mad and ordered to kill you two," said Gu Ning.

"What?"

Hearing that, Jing Yunyao was shocked. It turned out to be her father!

She was surprised, but didn't think it was impossible, because her father was very cruel.

Leng Shaoting, on the other hand, was astonished. He couldn't believe that it was his so-called maternal grandfather who ordered the killing of his father and mother.

"I'm not lying, because your cousin is aware of the truth. If you want to make sure of it, you can ask him," said Gu Ning.

After knowing the truth, both Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao were in a bad mood.

Only after a long while, did they finally feel better.
