85 Ordinary Flowers And Plants Ii (1/2)
”I see.”
Feng Ruqing's eyes narrowed. She should be able to guess that Fu Chen was behind all of this.
Fu Chen could influence the world outside, even in this medium. How strong was he before?
This son was adopted for good.
”That youth…” Fu Chen was silent for a while and said, ”He is special. But, you won't understand what I say now. You just train him nicely, and one day, he will become your strong combat companion.”
Feng Ruqing raised her eyes and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked up at the clear blue sky.
It seemed that she could see through the blue sky and right at the youth's smile.
”I really don't care whether he's a genius or a disabled. I'll protect him for the rest of his life. I will help him and let him stay. It's not because of his specialty. It's because he looks so much like Che'er.”
She would not care even if he was disabled. She could still protect him and take care of him in this life.
The reason that she saved him was never because of his specialty, and it never was for the sake of training him to become her combat companion.
It was because Chen'er and Che'er looked so much alike.
Fu Chen was stunned. He looked at Feng Ruqing blankly without a word.
This demon… There were also times when she would not ask for anything in return.
Why did she treat them differently?
”Fu Chen, Qing Han.” Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes, stroked their heads, and said, ”That Grade-3 spirit herb belongs to my grandpa. I cannot give that to you. But you must trust me. You'll not be hungry for long.”
Feng Ruqing would work hard to improve her strength even if it was for Fu Chen and Qing Han's sake. She could only grow Grade-3 spirit herbs when she had had enough strength.
”I trust you.” Qing Han smiled rather shyly. ”I never get in touch with human beings. But, I do know that humans' guardians won't lie to their sons. You are our guardian. You won't lie to us.”
Feng Ruqing was surprised. She solemnly squeezed Qing Han's shoulders with her hands. ”Qing Han, you must remember that you're a girl. You're not a son. You're a daughter.”
