Chapter 26 (Twenty-six) Jade
Rong Yu replied, "She has deep internal skills, and has indeed practiced martial arts that circulate qi and protect the body. She is very talented." Rong Yu answered Shi Yepeng, but never mentioned Gu Yue Gong, nor did she want him to ask what kind of martial arts it was. Even if he asked, she would not tell him.
Shi Yepeng wanted to ask, but he felt that it would be meaningless to know at this point, and he thought of something more important, so he said, "Go save our daughter... Cangji, promise me that you will never let her know about me! Although... although I really want to see what she looks like before I die, I can't let her know that she has such an unforgivable father, and I can't let others know. If others knew that she was my daughter, she... she would be looked down upon."
Listening to Shi Yepeng's words, Rong Yu couldn't help but think: He had committed heinous crimes, but when he was dying, he actually thought about his daughter. His words could be regarded as the dying words of a father.
"I promise you." Rong Yu said.
"Cangji, twenty years have passed in a flash. We are all old now, but I still remember how you looked back then... I think our daughter must be very similar to you back then... It's just... I hope... she... can meet someone who is good to her, and... live happily... with him..." Shi Yepeng was already out of breath, and his speech was intermittent. As he spoke, tears were streaming down his face. He thought that his daughter had never seen her father since she was born, and that he was committing a sin. He even thought about why people should have children? It was enough for him to suffer in this world, why create another life to experience pain and death in this world? He himself had never thought about having children, but since he knew he had a daughter, he suddenly felt more worried. Thinking that his daughter would die sooner or later, he couldn't help but feel sad - if he hadn't given birth to her, she would never die.
It was the first time that Rong Yu discovered that this person could also cry. Her emotions were in turmoil, her lips moved slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Shi Yepeng was worried about Yin Ruchen's life, and said, "Hurry... go and detoxify Ruchen. If you have anything to say, give her the antidote and then... talk. I'm here... waiting for you!" Rong Yu also hoped that Yin Ruchen could take the antidote as soon as possible, so he quickly returned to Jiulan Gate.
Seeing Rong Yu walk into the room, Yan Moying hurriedly asked: "Master, have you found the Nirvana Primrose?"
"No need to look for it, this is Lulindan." Rong Yu said as he gave it to Yin Ruchen and immediately walked out.
"Lu Lindan! How did you find it?" Gao Cai asked curiously.
"Look after her for a while!" Rong Yu walked out without even having time to answer Gao Cai's question.
She ran anxiously in the passage and soon reached the stone slabs on the cliff. Just when she reached the first layer of stone slabs, she found Shi Yepeng lying on the cliff with half of his body sticking out of the edge.
"Wangnian!" she shouted as she jumped onto the cliff.
Just as her feet landed on the cliff, Shi Yepeng used his last bit of strength to push off and fell off the cliff.
Rong Yu stood there in a daze.
After a long while, she lowered her head and saw the traces left on the snow by him crawling to the edge of the cliff. On the traces, there was a flat round jade. Picking it up, she saw three characters engraved on one side of the jade - "You Wangnian". Turning it over to the other side, there were also three characters engraved - "Yin Cangji".
