Chapter 138 - Ah Zi's biological parents

"Wait for you to finish? "How long have you been waiting for me? A pot of hot tea was boiling cold, do you even care about how I feel?" Ruan Xingzhu looked at Duan Zhengchun who had a fake smile on his face, and unrestrainedly berated.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face immediately became ugly. No matter what, he was a prince of the Dali royal family, how could he let a woman impolitely teach him a lesson?

"Enough, stop messing around, there are still customers here! Can you wait until This King returns? " Duan Zhengchun was very angry, but in front of Ling Xiao and the others, especially in front of Ah Zi, he definitely could not ruin his image.

Sensing that Duan Zhengchun was not joking, Ruan Xingzhu did not poke anymore, and turned to look at Ling Xiao and Ah Zi.

When she looked at Ah Zi, Ruan Xingzhu was stunned, as if she had seen her younger self.

At this time, Ling Xiao also compared Ah Zi and Ruan Xingzhu, and realised that the two of them did indeed have some similarities.

In that short period of time, Ruan Xingzhu was actually lost in thought, but she kept staring at Ah Zi, which made him feel uncomfortable, and she subconsciously shrunk her head, wanting to hide behind Ling Xiao.

In fact, the one who was most nervous in pavilion was Duan Zhengchun, upon seeing this scene, he immediately coughed twice, wanting to pull Ruan Xingzhu out of her thoughts.

But it was effective, Ruan Xingzhu's body trembled, she recovered from her shock and awkwardly smiled at Ah Zi, then quickly turned back to Ling Xiao.

This time, it also caused Ruan Xingzhu to be stunned for a good while, but in the end, she still asked in a probing tone, "Sect Master Ling?"

Hearing that, Ling Xiao politely smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, that's me. I never thought that Madam Ruan would be able to recognize me."

Hearing that, Ruan Xingzhu was even more surprised. She looked at Ling Xiao and said in shock: "Who doesn't know my great name, but I never thought that Sect Master Ling would know me."

"Although I am young, I know quite a bit. Not only will I pay attention to the movements in the Jianghu, I will also be curious about some old matters." Ling Xiao smiled, and then looked at Duan Zhengchun with a profound look.

When the latter looked into Ling Xiao's eyes, she felt goosebumps all over her body, as if all of her secrets were clearly seen by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao did not answer openly, so Ruan Xingzhu was also feeling very awkward, because she did not understand what Ling Xiao wanted to express.

Thus, Ruan Xingzhu could only shift her gaze away from Ling Xiao. She knew that Duan Zhengchun had definitely not come to find her to bring her to see Ling Xiao.

The most important thing should be that little girl that looked like herself. Thinking this, Ruan Xingzhu mustered up the courage to look at Ah Zi again.

Ruan Xingzhu was filled with emotions, but Ah Zi was at a loss. She did not notice that her appearance was somewhat similar to Ruan Xingzhu's.

"Young lady, may I know your name?" Ruan Xingzhu didn't care what kind of expression Duan Zhengchun had on his face, she only wanted to clear up her curiosity.

Therefore, he was preparing to pull Ruan Xingzhu away, but just as he was about to get up, he saw Ling Xiao's cold and detached expression while staring at him. This glance did not seem to matter, but scared him so much that he sat back down.

Perhaps it was because they were both women, but Ah Zi didn't show too much resistance towards Ruan Xingzhu, especially when facing her gentle tone, Ah Zi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"My name is Ah Zi." Ah Zi said timidly.

Seeing that Ah Zi was willing to answer the question, Ling Xiao knew that he should be able to chat with Ah Zi properly.

"Prince Duan, Miss Ah Zi seems to have a good impression of Madam Ruan. How about we two men come out and let them have a good chat?" Ling Xiao looked at Duan Zhengchun and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun felt helpless, this way he could only choose to leave, otherwise, staying here would be extremely awkward.

"Alright, then I'll give them some space." Duan Zhengchun was still a prince after all, so he did not have such a small stomach. After sighing, he got up and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao turned and nodded to Ah Zi, and said softly: "I am outside, you do not need to be afraid."

"Alright!" Hearing that, Ah Zi nodded her head vigorously.

After exiting the pavilion, Ling Xiao turned around to look at the two people who were talking. Because the distance was not far, they could hear whatever was said outside of the pavilion.

"Prince Duan, you don't seem to want to leave." Ling Xiao said softly, he did not want to disturb the people inside because of his loud voice.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Ling Xiao with some hidden bitterness, gritted his teeth and said, "He is this king's daughter after all, of course I want to talk to her!"

"As expected, I have already guessed it. No wonder you came here in secret and sent people to capture Ah Zi." Ling Xiao was not surprised at all when he heard her.

"Sect Master Ling, this king has no enmity with you, why must you keep stopping this king?" Duan Zhengchun was extremely confused.

"Prince Duan, your idea is good, but it will always hurt your heart. As such, why don't you let Ah Zi's mother explain it to her." Ling Xiao looked at Duan Zhengchun and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun said somewhat angrily: "Sect Master Ling, she is this king's daughter after all, and is also this king's family matter. I don't think it's your place to point fingers, right?"

After Ling Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then the Prince Duan can ask and see, if it wasn't for me, Ah Zi would have been able to live until now without a hitch. Furthermore, do you care about your other daughter? "

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face tensed up, and immediately asked: What? Sect Master Ling knows where this duke's other daughter is? "

"The two of them suffered so much that they almost lost their lives. If I didn't act in time, I'm afraid that Ah Zi would have already passed on. I really don't know how Prince Duan would have the face to recognize them as his daughters. Ling Xiao said coldly.

After hearing what Ling Xiao said, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but lower his head. It was obvious that he was embarrassed from being said, as he did not look like a father at all.

"Sect Master Ling, this king has misunderstood you. Now I finally understand why Ah Zi trusted you so much, so I should thank you properly. It was this king's mistake in the past, so I must make it up to them properly this time." Duan Zhengchun's eyes were firm and his expression was stern.

After Ling Xiao heard this, he could not help but shake his head and say: "These words should not be said to me, but should be said personally to the two sisters along with their mother, in order to show your sincerity."
