Chapter 400: I Was Blind to Follow You

“Husband, what’s wrong? You look unhappy.”

Inside the room, Lin Ruo looked at the frowning Sikong Jing and asked in confusion.

Wang Xing had finally survived her Life Tribulation, which was a joyous occasion, but why did her husband still look so weighed down by worries?

“Wife…”

Sikong Jing held his wife’s smooth, fair hand.

“Actually, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“Mm.”

Lin Ruo sat on Sikong Jing’s lap, her slender arms wrapping around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder.

“Actually, I also have something to tell you. How about I go first?”

“What is it?” Sikong Jing asked.

“It’s about Wang Xing.”

“About Wang Xing?”

Lin Ruo said softly, “Husband, look, doesn’t our Wang Xing like Lin Xun?

This time, even though Lin Xun suffered a great dao injury, he still helped our daughter withstand the Pill Tribulation.

That’s one debt of gratitude.

Not only that, although I don’t know what method he used, our daughter ultimately survived this tribulation with Lin Xun’s help!

That’s another debt of gratitude.”

“Wife, you mean…” Sikong Jing felt he could already vaguely guess what his wife was going to say.

Lin Ruo rubbed her forehead against her husband’s neck:

“Although the outside world’s evaluation of Lin Xun is very bad, I only believe what I see with my own eyes.

I can feel that Lin Xun definitely has some feelings for our Wang Xing.

In that case, why not let our daughter and Lin Xun be together?

This way, we might even have a grandson by next year.

As for what others think, so what?

We’re marrying off our own daughter, not theirs. Is it any of their business?

And we need to hurry.

I see that little girl Zhu Ling from Medicine King Valley also has some feelings for Lin Xun.

She’s likely our Wang Xing’s love rival.

So we need to settle this matter quickly, otherwise, what if something unexpected happens?

We can’t let Lin Xun run off with another woman.”

“…” Hearing his wife’s words, Sikong Jing fell silent, his heart feeling a bit complicated.

“Hey, husband, say something!”

Seeing her husband’s silence, Lin Ruo gave him a nudge.

“Wife…” After a while, Sikong Jing slowly spoke.

“What is it?” Lin Ruo was a bit unhappy.

“Well… actually, about this…”

“What about it? Just say it…”

Sikong Jing sighed heavily: “Actually, last night, I had the same idea as you.

Thinking that since Wang Xing likes Lin Xun and Lin Xun can protect her, then as her father, I should just let go.

I wouldn’t stop them from being together.

Then, I even had a good talk with Lin Xun about what was on my mind.”

“And then?” Lin Ruo’s eyes sparkled. “What did Lin Xun say?”

“Then… Lin Xun said…”

Sikong Jing wiped his face hard and didn’t continue.

“Say it! What exactly did Lin Xun say? Hurry up.”

Lin Ruo naturally wouldn’t let Sikong Jing off the hook just like that.

“Lin Xun said… actually, he’s already married.”

As soon as Sikong Jing’s words landed, the room became incredibly quiet, even eerily so.

Her husband’s voice kept echoing in Lin Ruo’s mind.

After half an incense stick’s time, without any warning, Lin Ruo suddenly stood up from Sikong Jing’s embrace.

After pacing around the room, Lin Ruo opened a red chest.

Inside the chest was an immortal-grade precious sword, which was Lin Ruo’s dowry when she married into Tianji City.

Drawing the longsword, Sword Qi raged within the room. Lin Ruo turned, intending to walk out.

“Wait! What are you doing!”

Sikong Jing quickly grabbed his wife.

He had to stop her.

His wife looked like she was about to go pick a fight with Lin Xun.

“What else could I be doing!”

Lin Ruo’s eyes were moist.

“I thought that Lin Xun was affectionate and loyal to my Wang Xing! Not lecherous and bloodthirsty like the rumors say.

I thought I could entrust our precious daughter to him!

But who knew this Lin Xun was actually such a beast!

He’s already married, so why did he have to provoke our Wang Xing?

What does Lin Xun mean? Does he want our Wang Xing to be a concubine?”

Lin Ruo got angrier as she spoke, nearly crying from rage.

She wanted to rush to Lin Xun’s room right now.

Either Lin Xun would stab her with a spear,

Or she would cut Lin Xun down with her sword!

“Sikong Jing! Let go of me! Why are you still stopping me? Do you really want your precious daughter to marry him as a concubine?!”

Lin Ruo kept struggling to break free.

“No, listen to me.”

“What else is there to say! Why are you defending that Lin Xun!”

“I’m not defending him…”

“Yes, you are! Sikong Jing! Is Wang Xing even your daughter!”

“Of course she is! Who told you she wasn’t! I’ll fight him to the death!”

“Then let go of me!”

“But Ruo’er, Wang Xing… Wang Xing already knew that Lin Xun was married…”

“…”

Hearing her husband’s words, Lin Ruo felt like she’d been struck by lightning.

Wang Xing already… already knew?

Wang Xing knew Lin Xun was already married… yet she still liked him?

“It’s all your fault… it’s all your fault…”

Lin Ruo dropped the immortal weapon and threw herself into her husband’s arms, her small fists repeatedly pounding on Lin Xun.

Sikong Jing: “How… how is this my fault again…”

“If you hadn’t been so passive about Wang Xing’s marriage contract back then, would she have been a step behind others?”

“I…”

“You men only think of yourselves. How did we mother and daughter both end up meeting people like you and Lin Xun…”

“What did I do now…” Sikong Jing felt like he was suffering from an undeserved calamity.

“You tell me…”

Lin Ruo cried even more sorrowfully.

“Weren’t you also in love with that Jiang Yuerou back then?

Don’t think I don’t know. Back then, you were sent flying by that Jiang Xuerou, and knowing it was impossible with her, only then did you meet me and make your move!”

“No… that’s really not…”

“Then when you met me, didn’t you like that Jiang Yuerou?”

“That… that was then…”

“Fine! Sikong Jing! I knew you were still thinking about that Jiang Yuerou back then!

Saying things like ‘I’ve already forgotten her, I only want to be with you properly!’ was all a lie!

Liar!”

“Wait, Yuerou, let me explain…”

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening!”

Jiang Yuerou pushed Sikong Jing away, covering her ears with her hands.

“Sikong Jing! You scumbag!!! I was blind to follow you!!!”

Sikong Jing: “…”
