Chapter 140 - Ah Zi's Choice

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's attitude, if not for Ling Xiao being present, he probably would have immediately attacked.

Ruan Xingzhu had obviously been muddled by Duan Zhengchun's shout, or perhaps she had been stunned, she did not think that at this juncture, Duan Zhengchun would actually come to shirk responsibility.

"Good, good, good. You are an irresponsible man. Back then, I was really blind to fall for you!" Ruan Xingzhu never thought that Duan Zhengchun would treat him in such a way. After that, she angrily smiled, and for Ah Zi's safety's sake, she finally chose to compromise.

Thus, Ruan Xingzhu jumped down with a "Putong" sound.

Looking at this scene behind him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Looks like having a duke like this in the Dali was also a very sad thing. At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of Duan Yu and realized that he had actually met him.

After Ruan Xingzhu went into the water, Duan Zhengchun actually calmed down, as if someone had entered the water, so he was not worried.

"Prince Duan, Miss Ah Zi, please let her go." Ling Xiao said indifferently as he walked to Duan Zhengchun's side and looked at the surface of the lake which was constantly rippling.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face immediately became ugly, it could be seen that he was in a very bad mood.

"Sect Master Ling, this king advises you to watch from the side. If it wasn't for the fact that Sect Master Ling is worthy of this king, you wouldn't even be qualified to watch from here." Duan Zhengchun clenched his teeth and said.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao's face couldn't help but turn cold, and an extremely strong imposing aura burst out from his body, causing the entire pavilion to tremble slightly.

"Prince Duan? What do you mean? This Seat did not quite understand. " Ling Xiao seemed to be speaking casually on the outside, but he had concealed a huge amount of killing intent, shocking the surrounding fishes and birds so much that they scattered in all directions.

In just an instant, Duan Zhengchun's entire body was drenched with fear from Ling Xiao's killing intent.

Although Ling Xiao did not say it explicitly, the killing intent that he released had proven everything. No matter how great of a power Duan Zhengchun had, in this kind of wilderness, there was no use at all. His only personal bodyguard was still very far away, so as long as Ling Xiao wanted to make a move, Duan Zhengchun would definitely not be able to live past one breath of time.

"Sect Master Ling, this king only hopes to give us some space to communicate." Duan Zhengchun struggled to carry Ling Xiao's killing intent, and said while smiling apologetically.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao retracted his killing intent. He only wanted to give Duan Zhengchun a show of might, since the two of them had never fought face to face. Duan Zhengchun had heard of Ling Xiao's strength before, and had never personally experienced it before.

This time, Duan Zhengchun finally understood how terrifying Ling Xiao was.

The rumors on the Jianghu were not mere rumors.

"I still have to say that, because I promised Miss Ah Zi that I would not let her suffer anymore, it's only because you are her biological parents that I brought her here. Otherwise, with me here, as long as Miss Ah Zi is not willing, you won't be able to come, let alone cause her to feel threatened in the slightest." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun nodded his head and said: "Sect Master Ling is right."

After he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun grabbed his own sleeve and miserably wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

At this time, movement came from the side of the pavilion. Ling Xiao and Duan Zhengchun walked forward and looked, it was Ruan Xingzhu who had scooped Ah Zi out.

When Ling Xiao saw Ah Zi's pale face, he knew that she had water in her lungs. If he did not quickly discharge it, she would suffocate to death.

Therefore, Ling Xiao hurried to help Ah Zi up, and then, he channeled his inner energy and struck Ah Zi's back with her palm.

Ling Xiao knew what to do with this palm, it looked very fierce, but in reality, it was used to slap his lungs and bring the water out of it.

"Pfft!" With a sound, Ah Zi suddenly woke up, and at the same time, spat out a bit of water.

The moment he opened his eyes, the first thing Ah Zi saw was Ling Xiao, and he immediately grabbed Ling Xiao's arm tightly. It was clear that to the current Ah Zi, this was the only way Ling Xiao could give him a sufficient sense of security.

Seeing that, Duan Zhengchun silently sighed, so it turned out that what Ling Xiao said was true.

However, he had already reached this step. If he still could not recognize his father and daughter, then that would be too much of a failure.

Therefore, Duan Zhengchun walked in front of Ah Zi once again and said, "Miss Ah Zi, if you don't believe what we have to say, then prove it with the facts."

Hearing that, Ah Zi asked in confusion: "What's the truth?"

With Ling Xiao by his side, Ah Zi became much calmer.

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Ruan Xingzhu, and signaled with his eyes.

Ruan Xingzhu's heart had long ago become completely cold, and towards Duan Zhengchun's suggestion, she could only reply with an ice-cold expression.

However, Ruan Xingzhu still walked in front of Ah Zi and said softly: "There's a piercing word on your body, and you have a golden badge on your neck. I helped you get these back then."

Hearing that, Ah Zi could not help but be startled, and then said stiffly: "So it turns out, you really are my parents!"

Seeing this scene, Duan Zhengchun and Ruan Xingzhu both laughed happily.

But very quickly, Ah Zi's words caused their expressions to turn cold.

"However, in my heart, my parents have already died. Even if you are the real ones, I do not want to admit it." With that, Ah Zi turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Duan Zhengchun wanted to rush forward to grab hold of Ah Zi and say something, but with Ling Xiao at the side, he resisted in the end.

"Ah Zi, since we have met again, it's fate. Can you let this king compensate you?" Duan Zhengchun asked.

Ah Zi didn't even turn his head around, as he replied while leaning in Ling Xiao's embrace, "I don't need those things."

"You still have a sister, don't you? You can discuss this with your sister. " Duan Zhengchun didn't give up and still wanted to try to persuade her.

However, Ah Zi did not give any face at all, she still shook her head and said: "I am very clear on my big sister's temperament. In this area, she must be the same as me, so there is no need to ask, the answer for both of us is the same."

After hearing this, Duan Zhengchun was in complete despair, and could only sigh heavily.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao looked up at Duan Zhengchun and said: Prince Duan, since Miss Ah Zi is not willing, then you should give up, the forced fruit is not sweet, and if Madam knows about this, you will not be able to handle it.

"Hmph, he wouldn't have the guts to reveal it to the public. So what if he is compensated? Isn't he going to live under the shadow for the rest of his life?" Ruan Xingzhu said coldly.
