For a long ti, he deliberately ignored it.
Beside him, Ju Qingng started choking up again, "Almost five years, really, I’ve been waiting for today for almost five years. I’ve always felt guilty and ashad. Sotis I even think, if I hadn’t agreed to you back then, maybe you would have found soone else, maybe you would have had a harem like other high-ranking citizens and powerful people. Soone like you, if truly because of , your bloodline ends, I would consider myself a sinner of history. I..."
Ju Qingng said a lot in one breath.
Ren Zhong just nodded and listened.
He felt both sad and acknowledged his wrongdoings.
To uphold his own beliefs, he had inadvertently burdened Ju Qingng with imnse psychological pressure, which had transford into suffering.
But for a long ti, to avoid inconveniencing him, she only tentatively asked a few tis early on. After confirming Ren Zhong’s "twisted" view of love, Ju Qingng stopped trying and quietly hid the pain in her heart until now, when Ren Zhong himself had opened a gap, she bravely spoke out.
Ren Zhong held her tightly.
He thought, when he first t Ju Qingng, she had been exiled to Starfire Town for rejecting Wang Jinsou.
Back then, Ren Zhong once thought she had the sa perspective on love as him.
But later he realized he was wrong.
Ju Qingng’s understanding of love was ultimately different from soone like him from the 21st century.
When he realized this, his first reaction wasn’t to change himself, but to try to change Ju Qingng.
After failing, he didn’t continue trying but let ti slowly pass like this.
Only now does Ren Zhong finally understand how much he had troubled Ju Qingng.
He firmly hugged Ju Qingng with his back hand.
After a long ti, he finally said slowly, "I’m sorry."
Ju Qingng shook her head again, "I told you, there’s no need to apologize for this. I’m happy now."
Ren Zhong: "I’m not apologizing for wanting to marry Ma Xiaoling. In a certain sense, I’m apologizing for the pain my selfishness caused you. As for offspring, it’s not your fault; it’s my issue. Let’s just say, everything will take its course."
Ju Qingng gradually stopped crying, just softly responded, "I understand."
"Hmm, once things stabilize in the company, why don’t you go into cryogenic sleep early? I’ll also freeze; we will ultimately need to go see the Empire."
Ju Qingng cald herself but asked again, "What about the others?"
Ren Zhong: "Those who need to go will go. As for those staying on Source Star... we’ll naturally arrange things properly."
"Hmm, that’s good."
"So, should I go find Ma Xiaoling?"
"Go ahead, change into sothing nicer?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "No need, I’ll go find her in my Red Peak Armor, thinking I might have to fight."
Ju Qingng stifled a laugh with her hand, "That’s her style; you have to beat her."
As Ren Zhong donned his Red Peak Armor piece by piece, Ju Qingng habitually assisted him with a pre-check while advising, "But she’s improved a lot in the past two days, you better be careful."
Ren Zhong nodded, smiling: "Don’t worry, even if she improves tenfold, she still wouldn’t be my match."
After saying this, he waved goodbye to Ju Qingng and leapt out of the window, heading straight out of Starfire Town.
Ten minutes later, he appeared near the abandoned mine pit site.
At this mont, Ma Xiaoling, clad in Silver Armor, was sitting on a boulder with her knees hugged, lost in thought.
Ren Zhong adjusted the stealth device of his Red Peak Armor to maximum, approaching like a gentle breeze.
Ma Xiaoling’s expression shifted rapidly, alternating between sweetness, tension, distress, and conflict.
Suddenly, she glanced at a flat area beneath the rock, gritting her teeth, "If you’re here, just co out openly, what’s the point of sneaking around? Aren’t you afraid it will tarnish your reputation as the great Ren Zhong?"
With the play of light and shadow, Ren Zhong’s figure slowly erged, praising, "Your instinctual awareness has indeed beco much stronger than before. Mr. Yu taught you many things."
Upon hearing Yu Chengde’s na, Ma Xiaoling’s face was imdiately filled with admiration, "Mr. Yu is indeed amazing, he has maximized his talents. The Yangsheng Ma family has explored on their own for so many years, and even by my generation, we haven’t reached Mr. Yu’s level. But it’s rather poignant to say, what’s been driving him forward on the path to becoming stronger is only a misunderstanding and a lie."
