The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor
chapter-1292

As the days went by. Little Treasure seems to have understood something when Ji Mo Ya avoided the topic each time and slowly stopped asking.

There was no news about his mother for a long time. His father was also severely injured and needed to soak in the medicinal bath for half a day daily to heal. Moreover, Ji Mo Ya only remained in his estate ever since they arrived in the Ji Mo Clan. While Lord Sage Cai, who adores Little Treasure the most, had not come to see them. Plus those rumours from before. Everything was silently noted by Little Treasure.

The child became silent. He used to be fearless and has an energetic character. Now, whenever Ji Mo Ya needed to soak in the medicinal bath, Little Treasure would silently sit outside to wait for him.

Only after seeing Ji Mo Ya come out, did his young face reveal a smile.

The Ink Guards that were hiding around looked at the scene with pain in their hearts.

However, they could only remain as observers due to the Young Master’s orders and they did not dare to utter any sound.

Ji Mo Ya had naturally noticed Little Treasure’s changes, but he had his considerations. Moreover, he was severely injured; resulting in his cultivation dropping sharply. If not for his past fame and accumulated merits that allowed him to hold the fort, he might not have been able to protect Little Treasure.

If Little Treasure wishes to remain amongst humans, everything will be something he has to learn and endure.

As the father, the only thing he could do for Little Treasure was to quickly heal and regain his previous strength, so that Little Treasure can rely on him for support when needed.

That was why Ji Mo Ya acted indifferent on the surface, but his heart was filled with indescribable discomfort.

Every time he came out of the bath, he would carry Little Treasure and try to play with him as much as possible.

Little Treasure was mature for his age and also knew how to observe people’s expression. Still, he could never endure the yearning for his mother.

In the end, Little Treasure still could not endure it any longer and timidly pulled Ji Mo Ya’s sleeves, “Father, where is Mother secluded at? Are her injuries better? Can we go look for her? She surely misses us, right?”

Even a person with a firm heart like Ji Mo Ya was unable to withstand Little Treasure’s bright, sincere eyes. A sourness welled up in his heart along with heaven shaking hatred towards Huan Qing Yan. Ji Mo Ya could only smile and console, “Little Treasure. Your mother is recuperating in Holy Court. Let us not disturb her, or your mother’s healing will be slowed down! Be good, Little Treasure. Wait obediently with father until your mother comes out, okay?”

Little Treasure hesitated for a moment but did not relent, “Father, I miss Mother dearly. If you can seclude at home, why can’t we bring Mother back with us as well? Mother helped Father heal faster by making Spirit Food.”

Just as Ji Mo Ya was about to speak, a heart-piercing, bone-shattering pain came from his heart, as though something was dug out from his heart.

The pain caused him to be unable to speak. The body that had healed slightly was unable to endure such pain, causing his face to turn frighteningly pale instantly.

Ji Mo Ya managed to endure enough to gently lower the Little Treasure and caressed the latter’s head, “Father is fine. No need to be afraid!”

Tears welled up in Little Treasure’s eyes. He dared not speak or cry as he silently looked at Ji Mo Ya.

Ji Mo Ya felt as though he had lost the most important thing in his life. He could no longer contemplate the past as he quickly checked with his divine sense.

He saw a crack in his heart, the Heart Union Knot that wrapped around his heart was broken.

Ji Mo Ya’s mind turned blank for a moment before realising something has happened.

Something must have happened to Huan Qing Yan, or the Heart Union Knot would not have been broken! What happened!?

At that moment, Ji Mo Ya felt a buzz in his head as his entire body swayed shakily. It took him a long time before he finally regained his senses.
