1514 Country Bumpkins Don’t Abandon Other Country Bumpkins
Jing Jiaren looked at Jing Ruge in disappointment. Then, she smiled bitterly and said guiltily, “Daddy, you and I only have eyes for the Jing family, but only my aunt has eyes for the magnificent mountains and rivers. I’ve dreamed of becoming a prophet like my aunt since I was young, so this time, I want to be a glamorous person like her.”
Upon hearing Jing Jiaren’s heartfelt words, Jing Ruge was speechless.
Zhang Zhanyi frowned and looked at Jing Jiaren. For the first time, he realized that he didn’t know his biological daughter that well. “Jiaren, have you thought about it? Since you took the initiative to withdraw from the competition this time, you gave up the chance to become the Saintess. You are the most powerful prophet nurtured by the Jing family with the strength of the entire clan. If you withdraw from the competition, the title of the Saintess and holy child will fall to other families. Your actions are tantamount to betrayal and a slap to the face for the Jing family. Have you thought about it? When you walk out of Hall 2, you will lose your position as the successor and your grandmother’s trust in you.”
How couldn’t Jing Jiaren know?
From the moment she angered her grandmother, like an arrow that had been shot, there was no turning back.
“I know.” Jing Jiaren clenched her arms and looked at Yu Huang, who was standing beside her.
Yu Huang was clearly a few years younger than her, but her eyes were always filled with determination and clarity. She always understood what she had to do, what she could do, and what she had to do.
Jing Jiaren also wanted to become like Yu Huang.
Jing Jiaren didn’t want to be the Jing family’s Jing Jiaren anymore. She wanted to be the Jing Jiaren she wanted to be.
“I know I’ll lose my identity as the heir, but from today onwards, I can finally be myself.” Jing Jiaren hugged Zhang Zhanyi gently and whispered into her ear, “I’m sorry, Mom. I want to be as outstanding as my aunt. Please don’t force me to be someone like my grandmother.”
Zhang Zhanyi’s lips quivered for a few seconds before she patted Jing Jiaren’s shoulder gently and lamented, “Do whatever you want. Even if you can’t be the successor of the Jing family, you will always be our child.”
Jing Ruge said to Yu Huang, “I’m the deputy director of the Space Administration’s Divination Continent branch. You can tell me about the calamity of the unicorn race in detail. I’ll return to the Space Administration as soon as possible and convey this matter to the branches on various continents.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright.”
Yu Huang handed the unicorn hair to Jing Ruge and said to him, “Mr. Jing, you are a powerful prophet who can accurately foresee the calamity of the unicorn race through this hair. The unicorn clan needs urgent help. There is no time to lose.”
With that, Yu Huang was about to leave.
Jing Ruge suddenly asked her, “Where are you going?”
Yu Huang said, “I have to return to Cang Lang Continent first.”
“Why are you returning to the Cang Lang Continent?”
Xiao Shu’s face flashed across Yu Huang’s mind. She pursed her lips and chuckled as she said, “I want to save my friend.” Even if the three thousand worlds had abandoned the unicorn clan, she couldn’t abandon Xiao Shu.
They were good friends. They were the little monsters of the Monster Sect. They were country bumpkins from the same world.
How could a country bumpkin abandon another country bumpkin?
Jing Ruge realized that Yu Huang was going to charge into the desolate place alone to save the unicorn clan, so he said, “The desolate place is extremely dangerous. Perhaps you will be destroyed by the violent energy in the desolate place before you can find the independent space of the unicorn clan. Yu Huang, calm down. After we gather our strength, we will go to the unicorn clan to support the unicorn clan.”
How could Yu Huang not understand that Jing Ruge was right?
Except…
When the scene of Xiao Shu lying in the sky sea and asking her why she had abandoned him flashed across her mind, her heart ached.
“But what my friend needs the most now is our company.” With that, Yu Huang walked towards the elevator lobby without any reluctance.
Just as she left the Starlight Building and got into the car heading to the aeroplane’s hangar, Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s figure suddenly appeared in the car. When Yu Huang looked at Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, who had appeared out of nowhere, she was filled with guilt. “Mentor, I think I’m being too impulsive.”
“I thought that after living for more than two hundred years, I should be more mature and calm, but why am I getting more and more reckless?” She knew that she might not be able to save the unicorn clan even if she barged into the desolate place alone, but she still decided to give it a try.
It was foolish and reckless, but she had to do it.
Prime Emperor Divine Miracle smiled. Then, he patted the back of Yu Huang’s hand lovingly as he lamented, “In the past, you had no attachments, so you were able to remain calm. This is the real you.”
“Mentor, do you blame me?”
Prime Emperor Divine Miracle shook his head as he said, “No, I’m very proud of you.”
Yu Huang nodded vigorously.
When they arrived at the aeroplane, they took the first flight to the aeroplane station. Sitting in the aeroplane, Yu Huang suddenly asked Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, “Mentor, Jing Jiaren said earlier that my mother lost the power of divination and is no longer a prophet. What happened?”
Yu Huang had never heard of this before.
When she found out about this from Jing Jiaren, she was extremely shocked.
Professor Song frowned and lamented, “Speaking of which, it involves you.”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, “What has it got to do with me?”
“When I found your mother, told her about your existence, and asked her to give birth to you, in order to save the future of the three thousand worlds, she only hesitated for half a day before agreeing to cooperate with my plan. Not long after Jing Rujiu successfully got pregnant with you, the plan was discovered by your grandmother, Old Madam Jing. Old Madam Jing was enraged and asked Jing Rujiu to abort the child and cut ties with Yin Mingjue in order to marry the young master of the Song family. Otherwise, she would sever all ties with Jing Rujiu and drain all the divination power in her body.”
“But in order to protect your secret, your mother rejected your grandmother’s suggestion. Your grandmother… really extracted the power of divination from your mother’s body.”
“After that, your mother’s body became very weak. She relied on the tonic your father and I gave her to successfully give birth to you. However, since she lost the power of divination back then, her vitality wasgreatly damaged. That was why she bled profusely on the day she gave birth to you and almost lost her life.”
When Professor Song talked about this past, he frowned and his expression was filled with disgust.
It was obvious that Professor Song didn’t like Old Madam Jing.
This was also the reason why Professor Song retorted Old Madam Jing to her face when she condemned Yu Huang today.
After knowing the circumstances, Yu Huang’s heart ached.
For a powerful prophet, losing the power of divination was like being kicked into hell. Her future life would be gloomy and hopeless.
Yu Huang didn’t understand Old Madam Jing’s actions. She asked, “Even though my father came from a small world, he improved at lightning speed in the inner academy. His name was even successfully engraved on the inner academy’s wall of reputation. Even Ye Qingchen took the initiative to extend an olive branch to my father and asked him to be a guest of the War God Clan. Why did Old Madam Jing look down on my father so much?”
Her father had a humble beginning, but he also had strong potential.
Old Madam Jing had no reason to look down on Yin Mingjue.
