970 A Hidden Secret 2 (2/2)

But…

Duanmu Hongru remained reluctant.

He was unwilling to see Chi Tong grow weaker day by day.

”I am tired. You head back first.” Little Chi Tong was already exhausted. He had been struck by a vicious curse that time at the Kingdom of Xi. This curse was siphoning off his life day and night. All these years, he seldom left Yan Luo Dian not because he wanted to keep a low profile, but because he was unable to leave…

This body might disintegrate anytime. Hiding inside Yan Luo Dian and relying on medicines to sustain his life was just delaying the inevitable cruel fate that awaited him.

Duanmu Hongru couldn't bear to tax Chi Tong anymore and had no choice but to slowly retreat from the room.

The two heavily-burdened men didn't realize that their entire conversation had been overheard by an unseen primordial spirit.

After Duanmu Hongru's departure, Ji Fengyan immediately drew her spirit back into her own body. She opened her eyes, astonishment written all over her face.

”That little punk was actually Chi Tong?” Ji Fengyan would not have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. That toddler which she had saved earlier was actually Yan Luo Dian's City Lord, Chi Tong!

Earlier, when she had held that child in her arms, she did not detect anything different between his physique and that of a normal kid. It was not any type of special hallucination. But the conversation between Duanmu Hongru and Chi Tong had utterly debunked Ji Fengyan's theory.
