Chapter 1340 - A Sudden Change II (2/2)

***

The crowd in the a.s.sembly hall was silent as they watched this scene.

Jiu Luo, the master of Deities Gate, was once a great warrior of this generation. But now, he was being oppressed until he had no power left to resist it.

And all of this was because of a little girl.

All the people present were a little woozy. Their stance changed as they seemed to be more respectful toward Feng Ruqing.

Jiu Luo collapsed and lay in a pool of blood. His breath grew a little heavier as his old face turned paler. He stared hard at the people in front of him with a resentful gaze.

Those people… They had only watched the fight and did not help him.

Even his son whom he was desperately trying to protect was merely hiding behind the crowd, not daring to stand up for him.

Jiu Ming slowly walked toward Jiu Luo. He squatted down and smiled evilly. “I’ve always been curious about one thing…”

Jiu Luo clenched his fist tightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred. He looked at Jiu Ming, wanting to curse out in anger, but it was as if there was no way to properly curse anymore.

“Why… No matter what happens, you are always on Jiu Yue’s side. Forget about my mother and me, even Jiu Yuan… He’s your son. When he died, you didn’t even look at him, but when Jiu Yue’s life was in danger, you fought almost to the death to protect him.”

Both were his son, but he treated them differently… Why?

Jiu Luo stiffened and slowly closed his eyes.

Things that had happened back then felt like it was happening in slow motion as they floated through his mind. He then smiled mockingly.

“Because… Yuan’er’s mother was my servant. She tried to sleep with me using all the tactics she could. Initially, I had only wanted to spend one night with her, but I’ve never thought that she would get pregnant. How can a servant’s child be compared to Yue’er? That woman died early, so I had given Yuan’er to my wife for adoption. I didn’t want a child like him to be born. He was also my flesh and blood, but he still carried the bloodline from a woman of lower rank after all.”
