Chapter 677 – Ru Xin as Forgiveness, Chu Tian’s New Face (1/2)

Hua Ci organised his words. “‘Ru Xin’ was not her original name.”

“Really? Then her original name is…” Li Qingshan’s interest was piqued. He had always found this name rather special. He had never heard of someone with the surname “Ru” before.

“Her original name is not important. I’ll be honest with you. I gave her the name ‘Ru Xin’. Together, they read as forgiveness.”

TL: Author is being quite tricky here. Ru Xin in Chinese is 如心 (rú xīn), while forgiveness in Chinese is 恕 (shù). If you can’t tell, 恕 (shù) is just a 如 (rú) on top of a 心 (xīn). This is where her name comes from.

“Forgiveness! Forgive who?”

“Forgive herself. I originally thought she could already let go. I originally thought she could already let go and serve as a doctor in the Green province, but ever since the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures…”

Hua Ci lamented, his face filled with worry.

“Why have you suddenly told me this, senior?”

“If she decides to go to the Mist province one day, you must stop her!”

Hua Ci’s eyes shone, which gave Li Qingshan the feeling of an old man passing on his will so that someone could take care of his child. Li Qingshan thought, He isn’t as cold as he seems on the surface either.

“If something happens to her, I obviously won’t just sit by. But, why forgive? Since she can’t find relief, I’ll just help her kill who she wants to kill!”

Li Qingshan’s flat words were filled with confidence and resolve that resisted change.

Hua Ci reevaluated Li Qingshan, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Li Qingshan wanted to ask about Ru Xin’s past, but Hua Ci refused to tell him. “You better get her to tell you herself!”

Chu Tian woke up. He opened his eyes, only to discover he was in the same, pitch-black, underground room. He sat up on the jade bed and touched his face, which was wrapped in white bandages.

“Did it work?”

“It failed. Congratulations, your face has now been destroyed. You better not remove these bandages in the future, just in case you cause displeasure to anyone that sees you.” Ru Xin sat to the side.

“You’re joking again, fellow.” Chu Tian could sense the changes on his face. The skin had completely merged together.

Li Qingshan said curiously, “Take it off and show us how you look.”

During the time Chu Tian spent unconscious, Hua Ci carried out the follow-up treatment, so the injuries on his face had already recovered. Removing the bandages, he revealed a pretty face. His eyes twinkled like stars, his nose stood tall, and his eyebrows were long and slender. Apart from being slightly pale, he was a standard handsome man.
