296 You care so much for her! (1/2)

Zhou Donghuang felt indifferent and impassive at Meng Yuping's passionate disposition.

After traveling across the infinite universe for thousands of years in his past life, he had met too many scheming people with ulterior motives, and many were just like Meng Yuping.

Why exactly was Meng Yuping so persistent on keeping Luo Qinghan by her side?

Why was Meng Yuping so courteous and gracious towards Luo Wuchen and Li Yu?

As for the answers to these questions, Zhou Donghuang was aware of it all.

”In that case, I'll take my leave first, Sir Luo and Madam Li Yu.”

Before leaving, Meng Yuping first bid farewell to Luo Wuchen and Li Yu. She then bid farewell to Zhou Donghuang and He Jin, who were standing at the side, before leaving for the nearest galaxy teleporter available.

As she intended to directly teleport herself back to where the Jihan Sect was located, she did not travel with Zhou Donghuang and He Jin.

”Sir Luo, Madam Li Yu, I will take my leave as well.”

After Meng Yuping had left, Zhou Donghuang suitably bid farewell to the two Luo family members as well before leaving with He Jin under the watchful gaze of the former duo.

Seeing Zhou Donghuang's back slowly disappear, Luo Wuchen sighed. ”I prefer it when he calls me 'father-in-law.'”

”Hmph! I wish you had taught Luo Qinghan better. He's such a good candidate for her to marry, and yet she is resisting him so much! In the future, if he is to marry some other lady, she will definitely regret it upon seeing such a sight!” Li Yu scoffed aloud and glared sternly at Luo Wuchen.

Luo Wuchen was rather speechless at this.

Luo Qinghan had actually grown up alongside her grandmother, who was Luo Wuchen's mother-in-law. As a result, she was more likely to have followed the teachings of Li Yu.

How could Li Yu blame Luo Qinghan's character on him now?

Of course, Luo Wuchen could only complain to himself in his heart as he did not dare to utter these words.

In any case, even without comparing status in the family, he was also no match for Li Yu in terms of ability.

Although he had already entered the ultimate Dharma stage, his mother-in-law, Li Yu, had already entered the Primordial Soul stage some time ago and had become the first Primordial Soul adept on the Tianxian planet in the last thousand years.

Of course, only Luo Wuchen was aware of this at the moment.

”Valley Head.”

After leaving the Luo family home for the nearest galaxy teleporter and going on their way, Zhou Donghuang could not help but speak up. ”Valley Head, tell me... How do you know when you like a woman, and how do you know you've fallen in love with a woman?”

To him, since He Jin had such a close daughter, He Mengxi, even though his wife had already passed away, he would definitely have good advice to share on this topic.

”You would like to know how to differentiate between liking and being in love with a woman?”

After hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, He Jin's eyes became tiny slits as he smiled. ”Liking a woman and being in love with a woman are two completely different concepts... There are many different levels of liking a woman. You could purely like her innocently. You could also have the intention of making her yours or even have the desire to convert this like into love.

”As for love... this concept is rather hard to express in words.

”When two people are in love, it could be said that they are ready to live the rest of their lives together,” He Jin said.

”In that case, how about you and third senior sister's mother?”

”Mengxi's mother...”

In an instant, He Jin's eyes widened, and a wistful look appeared in his eyes. ”Her mother was rather average in terms of skills. In terms of how we met, it was a complete coincidence.

”When Mengxi was ten, that year, our family was hunted down by enemies, and we only had a slim chance of survival... At that point, we were a family of three, but with my abilities, I was only able to leave with Mengxi. Of course, I did not leave her behind willingly, but at a critical point, she chose to sacrifice herself!”

As he spoke to this point, He Jin's eyes flashed with unmistakable sadness and pain. ”I can still visualize that scene clearly in my head to this day... If not for the fact that I wanted to take revenge on her behalf in the future, I would have chosen to die with her!”

”Valley Head...”

At this point, Zhou Donghuang suddenly remembered that in his past life, his third senior sister, He Mengxi, had also mentioned her biological mother to her. This included the fact that her biological mother had sacrificed herself to save her and her father.

It was just that Zhou Donghuang had forgotten about this as it had been a distant memory.

If not, he would not have brought up the topic of love to He Jin as he knew it would definitely pain him.

”It's fine.”

Before Zhou Donghuang could offer an apology, He Jin had already cut him short. ”Even if you do not bring up this matter, I think about it every now and then when I am dreaming as well... Although this happened more than 20 years ago, every time I think about it, it takes me back to when it happened.

”Do you think my relationship with Mengxi's mother was one of love?” He Jin glanced at Zhou Donghuang and asked.

”Of course.”

Zhou Donghuang nodded his head. Although he was still clueless towards the topic of romantic relationships, the fact that He Jin's wife had actually chosen to sacrifice her own life and the fact that He Jin often felt pained when he thought about his wife were all definitely stellar examples of love.

”Zhou Donghuang, are you asking me these questions because of Luo Qinghan?” He Jin asked.

Zhou Donghuang froze. Had he been that obvious?
