Chapter 136 - Separation Back Then

Some of his memories in that place had been slowly buried with the passage of time. For more than ten years, even he had forgotten to ask why he was not allowed to see the little girl.

And then he had attained some information and found Xing Jiuan at that racing competition.

“Grandpa, why?”

Lu Zhichen was no longer like how he had been when he was talking to the Old Master earlier. He was determined to wait for an answer.

“Back then, when we left…” Old Master Lu seemed to recall something and couldn’t help but sigh.

After all, Lu Zhichen was already a young adult back then. He had always been rational and calm. Even if he was going to leave the young girl, he did not show much emotion and only left with his grandfather.

He knew they would meet again.

However, the five-year-old girl did not understand.

She only felt that if he left, she would never see him again.

When Lu Zhichen and Old Master Lu left, Xing Jiuan had been taken somewhere else. Otherwise, she would have cried.

However, no one expected the little girl to secretly escape from where she was taken to find Lu Zhichen.

The roads on the mountain were difficult to walk on, and she was so anxious that she did not look at where she was going and accidentally fell and rolled down a cliff.

If she had not been found early, she would have lost her life back then.

“Later on, I heard from Elder Xing that the girl had been in a coma for a few days and had a recurring fever. When she finally woke up, she had forgotten about you.

“Elder Xing said not to ever let you go over again as it wouldn’t have been easy if the two of you met. The little girl values her feelings too much and it would not have been good for her.

“Besides, because of that, the little girl’s senior brothers and sisters hate you very much.

“Even if it’s not your fault, it had happened because of you.

“Zhichen, I actually wondered if I should have let you get so close to that little girl.

“If anything had happened to her, I would have blamed myself for the rest of my life.

“But, she is also your benefactor. Eight out of the nine tribulations in your life have all been resolved by her.

“So, I was still selfish in the end.

“However, now that I think about the engagement discussion again, it should have been expected that we would be rejected.”

Lu Zhichen was speechless.

He had not expected there to be such a past.

He knew that the little girl was very bold.

The little girl said that she used to have a little playmate. It was a big wolf and it looked especially impressive. She liked her little playmate very much.

The little girl also said that if Lu Zhichen had arrived earlier, he could have met it.

However, the mountain was not completely safe. Xing Jiuan was bold when she was young, but she was very afraid of bugs. Furthermore, there were many bugs and snakes on the mountain. If the little girl went out by herself, she would have been afraid.

In order to find him, she fell off a cliff and almost lost her life.

However, over the past decade, he had known nothing about this.

He had not even been allowed to call Xing Jiuan.

Xing Jiuan was young back then and didn’t have a cell phone. She didn’t even know her family’s cell phone numbers.

Lu Zhichen had wanted to count on the Old Master, but the Old Master refused to tell him.

He knew that the little girl had clearly liked him a lot. She would not have forgotten him for no reason.

So… this was what had happened.

There seemed to be a reason now for the hostility from Mu Qing and the rest.

If he was Jiuan’s master…

No, that was not possible for them.

There was only one possibility for them in this life.

Xing Jiuan was going to be his wife.
