A life of clearness

Chapter 542 I have you in my heart
Ji Hui saw Yuan Cheng's reaction and was on guard against Ying She who was following her and was trying to sneak attack Rong Qing.

But she really didn't mean any harm.

"I didn't expect that His Highness Yuan Cheng, who has never been interested in women, would also be moved." Ji Hui sighed with a smile. She really just wanted to talk to Rong Qing as she said before.

Ji Hui had been imprisoned in the Prince of Jin's palace for a long time. When he finally got out, he didn't dare to get too close to anyone.

She said Rong Qing looked kind, and that was true.

However, this sentence, which Ji Hui thought would bring them closer together, made Rong Qing shake her head.

"I'm afraid Madam has misunderstood." Rong Qing said seriously: "My relationship with His Highness Yuan Cheng is not what Madam thinks."

Rong Qing spoke with such confidence, without any attempt to hide the truth, that Ji Hui even wondered if he had really seen it wrong.

She had no choice but to say, "It seems that I was thinking wrong."

He then said, "I see that the lady does not seem to be from the Zun Realm. May I ask if she is from the Qinghang Realm?"

"That's right." Rong Qing thought about it and understood: "Madam, did you recognize him from the Taoist robe?"

Ji Hui nodded with a smile: "I am very interested in the skill of making clothes. It's just a pity that due to my limited talent, I haven't made much progress in this field. But I am familiar with the patterns of various sects and families."

The seasonal emblem is a hobby. Many monks memorize the emblems to avoid offending someone they shouldn't offend, or to please someone who deserves to be pleased.

Rong Qing was in high spirits and wore the Taoist robes of Juntian Dao Sect. Li Mei and others thought she was a female cultivator from the spiritual world who was just lucky enough to meet His Highness Yuan Cheng. If Rong Qing wore the robes listed in the Tianyi Pu, Li Mei might not dare to approach her out of fear.

If it was a female monarch who was equally powerful as Yuan Cheng and made the other party dislike her, she, Li Mei, might die inexplicably at some point in the future.

Li Mei herself is such a petty person, no wonder she would make such assumptions about others.

"It seems that there are many people like Madam who have accidentally misunderstood me." Rong Qing understood. "But they don't dare to provoke me openly."

Ji Hui thought: His Highness Yuan Cheng is so worried about you, who would dare to show any badness to you? It's a pity that you don't understand at all.

A slightly bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face. If the King of Jin could do one ten-thousandth of what His Royal Highness Yuan Cheng did for Rong Qing, why would she be so sad?

Both are women of His Highness Zunjie, but one has you in her heart and the other doesn't, so the treatment is very different. Ji Hui's heart was almost broken when he thought of the powerful female cultivator who was able to enter the Jin Palace with dignity.

It's not jealousy, but disappointment.

She was a furnace concubine given to King Jin by his father, originally intended to help him practice. But King Jin was not interested in women, so there was only one woman, Ji Hui, and he was not stingy with elixirs, forcing her to the state of incarnation, increasing her lifespan so that she could be by his side.

Although she was only a concubine, Ji Hui was always happy to be with the King of Jin. Even though she knew very well that even if they had been together for a thousand years, the King of Jin probably had no affection for her.

The King of Jin had never been very interested in love. He wanted to have an heir, so he had a son with Ji Hui. He was not satisfied with this mediocre son, so he considered having another woman to have one.

It didn't matter what Ji Hui thought. After all, she was just a concubine who depended on him for survival. Ji Hui herself knew that her disappointment in King Jin was ridiculous.

You have never been in my heart, so why deceive yourself?
"Of course they dare not provoke the Queen." Ji Hui said: "His Highness Yuan Cheng came in person to escort the Queen."

Rong Qing seemed to be thinking about something. Of course, she could see the bitter smile on Ji Hui's face, so she secretly wondered what this sentence meant.

She remembered what Yuan Cheng had said before, so she asked, "Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Jin also ask his blood-bound beast to personally escort Madam here and protect her safety?"

Ji Hui shook his head. Which one is it? His Highness Yuan Cheng had sacrificed his own time for cultivation by accompanying Rong Qing here. And if the King of Jin sent the Blood Contract Beast to follow her, it would not hinder the King of Jin's cultivation, and there would be no loss. After all, the Blood Contract Beast would not escape. What's more, this inheritance quota was more like a compensation...

Rong Qing looked at Ji Hui, who was still worried, and didn't know what to do. She didn't know the inside story, so she couldn't understand why Ji Hui had such a pretentious idea.

Being able to directly obtain the inheritance quota is already a great advantage. Didn't you see that a lot of five-decayed strongmen nearby could only fight for it at the risk of falling? Even Rong Qing, by herself, couldn't even get the qualification to enter.

Giving Ji Hui the inheritance quota is a direct representation of favor.

Is it so important whether the Prince of Jin comes personally to deliver it?

"I have lived in the palace for many years, and I am not used to it at the moment. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, my lady." Ji Hui explained reluctantly.

"...In addition to receiving the inheritance, Madam can also go to other places more often. There are many spiritual realms in the North Sky. Although it is not as prosperous and stable as the Venerable Realm."

Ji Hui felt a pang in his heart and could not help but lower his head and purse his lips, trying hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.

There is no future. She doesn’t even know where her future lies.

She raised her head and smiled, "That's great. I will definitely come to Qinghang Realm. I also want to see what kind of spiritual world can cultivate a genius like you."

"If you come, I will definitely take my wife to see the scenery of Qinghang Realm." Rong Qing promised.

Suddenly thinking of her own trial field that few people came to, Rong Qing hurriedly asked: "Has Madam ever been to the trial field?"

"Trial field?" Ji Hui blushed: "I have no talent for fighting."

"No. It's just that if Madam wants to see me in the future, you can come to the trial field often to find me. I have a trial field under my name, and it will be lively soon. Madam can also try to get to know some Taoist friends from all walks of life there."

"Exciting? You mean martial arts?"

"It has nothing to do with martial arts competitions. It's just a place for fun. If Madam doesn't want to socialize, it's fine if she just wants to have fun by herself."

Ji Hui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."

She looked at His Highness Yuan Cheng who was standing beside her. The young man was waiting quietly, without any sign of impatience.

"It's almost time, I won't disturb the lady and His Highness." Ji Hui said goodbye first.

Rong Qing nodded: "Okay." Without saying much, she felt that she was comforting a woman who was feeling sad due to idleness.

Ji Hui turned and left, and before leaving, he glanced at Yuan Cheng again. The other party's eyes fell on Rong Qing, his eyes were light, but his heart was heavy.

It can't be wrong, she thought.

After all, Ji Hui was a thoughtful person, and she was obsessed with love. She had been thinking about whether she liked it or not for most of her life.

She could clearly see Yuan Cheng's feelings for Rong Qing——

Because he likes someone, he can't hide his feelings in his eyes.
