2512 Why Do You Ask Me About It?

Upon thinking that Jing Yunyao had rescued him and Zhan Zhiyin that day, he was full of gratitude.

After they left that day, Zhan Zhiyin told him that the two people were very aggressive and strong. If Jing Yunyao hadn't stood out for them, they could have been hurt badly.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoming believed that Jing Yunyao had done them a big favor, and he felt very grateful to her.

Even though they were in trouble because of Zhan Zhiyin, Leng Shaoming didn't blame her. After all, it wasn't Zhan Zhiyin's fault.

Besides, he took Zhan Zhiyin to have a walk in the park. If he had sent her back to the hotel that day, they might have saved themselves the trouble.

As a result, Leng Shaoming felt a little guilty.

In fact, Zhan Zhiyin felt even guiltier after it happened. She drew people who wanted to hurt her, not because there was a grudge between them, but because they thought she was a monster.

In the afternoon yesterday, Zhan Zhiyin went back to City H, because she didn't want to stay there any longer. She wasn't afraid that she might encounter more cultivators, but she didn't want to take more of Leng Shaoming's time.

If she stayed in the capital, Leng Shaoming had to keep her company, since he didn't want her to feel unhappy, but his vacation was nearly over. He had to go back to work soon, so he also should spend some time with his family.

When Zhan Zhiyin left, Leng Shaoming said that he would visit City H one day if he had time and she could be his guide. In other words, he would go to see her.

Hearing that, Zhan Zhiyin was very happy, because it meant that she was getting closer to Leng Shaoming.

Alright, back to the main story.

Both Leng Shaoming and Gu Ning could see Leng Shaoming's difference, but they didn't think much about it. They thought that he changed his attitude towards them because he learned that he would take over the Leng family in the future.

…

As soon as Jing Jining got back to the cultivation world, he returned to the Jing family's house.

Before Jing Yaorong found out that Jing Jining was back home, the housekeeper at the front yard told Jing Jining that the patriarch wanted to see him and directly took him to Jing Yaorong's study.

It was Jing Yaorong's order that the housekeeper should take Jing Jining to see him right after Jing Jining was back.

Therefore, Jing Yanhua didn't know that Jing Jining was back until a domestic servant saw him taken away by the housekeeper.

None of the domestic servants was aware that Jing Yunyao was still alive, except for the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was serving Jing Yaorong, but he also disagreed with Jing Yaorong's behavior of killing Jing Yunyao. However, he was just a domestic servant, and didn't dare to say much about it.

Therefore, since Jing Yunyao survived, he hoped that she could live a good life.

However, he didn't want Jing Yunyao to get revenge on the Jing family or Jing Yaorong back either.

Even though he disagreed with some of Jing Yaorong's behavior, Jing Yaorong was his master. Jing Yaorong hadn't saved his life, but he treated him very well.

"Housekeeper, why does the patriarch want to see me?" Jing Jining asked.

"I don't know," said the housekeeper, not giving Jing Jining any hints.

Hearing that, Jing Jining stopped asking about it.

At this moment, Jing Yaorong was in the study. He was actually going to have a meal, but then the housekeeper brought Jing Jining over.

When Jing Yaorong saw Jing Jining, he was extremely displeased. After hearing the news that Jing Yunyao was still alive, Jing Yaorong hated Jing Jining to death.

Jing Jining frowned a little when he saw Jing Yaorong's expression. He didn't know what had happened.

Anyway, he never got along with Jing Yaorong, so he couldn't care less about Jing Yaorong's feelings.

"What happened, Patriarch?" said Jing Jining in a flat voice.

Jing Yunyao stared straight at Jing Jining, because he didn't want to miss any of his reactions. "Tell me, is Jing Yunyao still alive?"

It was an unexpected question, so Jing Jining was startled.

How did he know that Jing Yunyao was still alive? Did he see her?

No way! Jing Yunyao said that she had only run into Liu and Jing Bingjie, but they didn't know Jing Yunyao.

Seeing Jing Jining's reaction, Jing Yaorong was sure that the woman was Jing Yunyao.

"I can be sure of it after seeing your reaction. It's meaningless for you to deny it now. Why didn't you tell me that Jing Yunyao isn't dead?" Jing Yaorong questioned angrily.

Actually, he clearly knew why Jing Jining kept it a secret from him, but he still needed to hear the answer from Jing Jining's mouth.

"Well, none of us have seen her body. Why did you always believe that she's dead?" Jing Yunyao argued calmly. "Did you kill her in person?"

"Shut up!" Jing Yaorong snapped at him. "Do you have any evidence to prove that I killed her?"

He wouldn't admit it, at least not to other people other than Jing Yanhua.

"If you didn't kill Yunyao, why are you so sure that Yunyao is dead?" Jing Jining suddenly sneered.

"It's none of your business! I only need you to tell me why you keep it a secret from me?" Jing Yaorong was furious. He dodged the topic of the reason why he killed Jing Yunyao.

"Since it's not my business, why do you ask me about it?" Jing Jining continued.

"Jing Jining, stop playing dumb with me. I know!" Jing Yaorong lost patience.

"Since you're already aware of it, why do you bother to question me?" Jing Jining said. He was teasing Jing Yaorong.

"You…" Jing Yaorong understood that Jing Jining was making fun of him, so he shouted loudly, "Why didn't you tell me she's still alive?"

"So?" Jing Jining sneered. Since Jing Yaorong was already aware of it and Jing Yunyao no longer wanted to keep it a secret, Jing Jining felt that he could make it public now.

"Yes, Yunyao isn't dead. So what?" Jing Jining continued and turned mad. "Why should I tell you? Why do you think you should know about it? So that you can kill her again?"

In the end, he directly questioned Jing Yaorong.

Everyone was afraid of Jing Yaorong in the Jing family, but he was an exception. During these years, he never had any conflicts against Jing Yaorong because he had to wait till Jing Yunyao had the ability to take revenge.

However, now that Jing Yaorong found out that Jing Yunyao wasn't dead, there was no need for him to stand it any longer.

Although over a dozen years had passed, his hatred towards Jing Yaorong had never gone away.
