962 Little Chi Tong 1 (2/2)

”Duanmu.” Chi Tong cut in suddenly. He raised his handsome, yet pale and weary face. Leaning back against his chair, he looked up beyond the roof of the main hall. ”These past years have been hard on you.”

Duanmu Hongru was slightly taken aback. His eyes turned red and he took a deep breath to suppress his rising emotions.

”Boss Chi, what are you saying! If not for you, we would have long been dead. And if you had not been looking out for us, you… you would not have…” Duanmu Hongru clenched his fists, unable to complete his sentence.

Chi Tong waved it off.

”What happened that year had nothing to do with you all. It is between me and the Kingdom of Sa Er. Even without you guys, the outcome would have been the same.”

Duanmu Hongru's expression remained grim.

But Chi Tong did not wish to continue speaking about this.

”All these years, you have been exploring the Forest of Freedom and endured much hardship. It's about time. Ji Fengyan is Yan Luo Dian's benefactor, and if she really wants the Forest of Freedom, so be it.” Chi Tong leaned his cheek against one hand and closed his eyes wearily. Even his voice had faded.

Duanmu Hongru's heart ached to see Chi Tong in this manner. But he was unable to say a word.
