Meng Tingfeng’s expression froze. Not just him, but so did Shu Qingya’s expression. Even those who were eavesdropping had the exact same expression. Only the high echelon from the Immortal Court had bitter and defeated expressions. They were long used to their grand elder’s quirks, but still, they couldn’t act as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Xia Meng released a deliberate laugh and walked up. “Forgive her, forgive her. Grand Elder Xi is wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation. It’s the reason why she reached her current height. Before her son was born, I remember her forgetting me quite a few times. I remember at least a hundred occasions.”
An ugly expression appeared on Meng Tingfeng’s face. Can the two situations compare? After all, one was an intimate moment—one which led to the birth of a new life—while the other was just an acquaintance. No matter how face blind Xi Mengfei was, she shouldn’t forget her first time with a man, right?Rêạd new chapters at .com
Or was Xi Mengfei telling him that he was so worthless and unimportant that he was unworthy of being remembered, despite him being her first and the father of her child? As a man, how could Meng Tingfeng tolerate such a slight? If he could, he would never harm a woman, but for the first time in his life, Meng Tingfeng wanted to slap a woman.
Had it not been for Shu Qingya squeezing his hand, Meng Tingfeng might have done something he could never take back.
A look of realization dawned upon Meng Tingfeng. So this was the source of it all. No wonder his son didn’t want to recognize him. With such a mother, how could his son recognize him?
Xi Mengfei didn’t see Meng Tingfeng’s twisted expression. Or rather, she didn’t care, nor could she discern his inner thoughts. She turned toward Xia Meng. “A hundred times? Wasn’t it only once?”
“See?” Xia Meng said with a helpless expression. He looked at Meng Tingfeng and inwardly sighed. He thought that Xi Mengfei had been getting better at socializing, but he was wrong. Or maybe she had some subconscious repulsion to Meng Tingfeng? It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. After all, having a father meant dividing her son’s attention.
Meng Tingfeng forced down his discontent until nothing could be seen on his face. He showed a disappointed and sad smile. “To be honest, it’s a huge blow to me. After all, when I met Sovereign Xi all those years ago, it left a lasting impression on me.”
Xia Meng blinked. To be honest, he really wanted to know what happened that year, but considering the location, it was better not to air out the details. So he could only smile apologetically. “Please don’t mind her, that’s just her personality.”
“It’s...understandable,” Meng Tingfeng finally said after a moment of deliberation. “Sovereign Xi is dedicated towards the immortal path. It’s no wonder she reached such heights. Even though we’re the same age, I’m still only a little seamless immortal.”
“Thank you,” Mengfei simply said. Since someone praised her, she would accept it.
“I wonder where Tianyi is. Can you tell me?” Meng Tingfeng asked. Looking around. He had to educate his son well and not let him be led astray by that woman any longer.
“I’m afraid Grand Elder Nine Heavens isn’t on the island at the moment,” Xia Meng said. “He sensed someone ascending from the lower realm and left to see who it is.”
“Is that so interesting?” Meng Tingfeng asked. He was someone born in a lower-rank realm, so he ascended several times. Although each ascension brought him to a stronger realm, after experiencing it so many times, he had long tired of it.
Because of his rising strength, his former companions could only stay in the lower realm. Meng Tingfeng had already switched his companions and friends many times. Even when he descended to the lower realms and visited them again, the difference in realm made it so that whatever friendship they once had would deteriorate. Rather than allow that to happen, why not just keep the memory of those friendships in his heart as beautiful mementos?
“Do you know when he will come back?” Meng Tingfeng.
“This...” Xia Meng furrowed his brows. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know. His strength has surpassed mine, and he has a transcendent status in the Immortal Court. There is only one person that can order him. At most, I can just send a message.”
“Speaking of which,” Xia Meng took out a Xiyi Talisman. “Do you know about this? It’s Grand Elder Nine Heavens’ creation. He’s quite the genius, that boy. This talisman has completely revolutionized the entire Primordial Realm.”
