Chapter 58 Seeing the Dawn Again

Xing Zhu returned from outside and, upon hearing the conversation between Jing Sa and the others, hesitated with his hand suspended in mid-air. After struggling for a while, he ultimately decided to go in.

"Master!" He forced a casual tone and managed a faint smile. His lips twitched as he noticed Jing Sa's gaze upon him, which made him inexplicably anxious.

That gaze seemed to reflect his inner turmoil clearly, leaving his little schemes nowhere to hide.

"What were you doing outside Feng Xiran's room a couple of days ago?"

Jing Sa's voice was stern, and Xing Zhu's face instantly turned pale. Feng Zhu also did not expect this and looked at Xing Zhu in surprise.

Seeing his reaction, Jing Sa had already made a guess: "You can go back to Yilin now. There's no need for you to follow me."

"Master! Please don't. I realized my mistake!" Xing Zhu pleaded, but Jing Sa didn't listen and simply waved him away.

Xing Zhu's face turned ashen, and he left dejectedly.

Feng Zhu wanted to plead on his behalf but stopped when he saw Jing Sa's unpleasant expression. He followed Xing Zhu out.

Jing Sa had known from the first instance of Xing Zhu defying his orders that he was no longer under control. Keeping him around was like having a dagger, always poised to strike.

As for the assassination attempt, Jing Sa had long come to terms with it. He had once wanted to return, but what was the result? His mother still died tragically.

After his mother's death, he had hated Feng Xiran, thinking of returning, but now, did it make any difference whether he went back or not?

What's the difference between Tianfeng and Yilin? If his father truly cared for him, how could he bear to send him away and not favor his mother, letting her die miserably?

He looked coldly outside, feeling a pang of desolation. Yet, for some reason, he thought of Feng Xiran. Previously, she had tried so hard to please him, but now, she radiated confidence like a sun, bringing a bit of warmth to his cold heart.

Ha, he's truly a masochist! He couldn't help but mock himself.

Feng Zhu and Xing Zhu left Jing Sa's side. Feng Zhu saw Xing Zhu's stubborn expression and couldn't help but sigh, questioning why it had to be this way. He patted Xing Zhu's shoulder and told him he would try to plead for him later, but Xing Zhu declined.

Xing Zhu didn't see his actions as wrong. He was only acting for his master's benefit. What was wrong with that? It was that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, his master would not have become distant. He couldn't help but glance towards Feng Xiran's courtyard, where he could still vaguely hear laughter.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with resentment. Why? Since his master was driving him away, he had to accomplish something big before leaving. Thinking of this, he forced a smile filled with determination.

Feng Xiran was discussing with Lan Yun.

If she returned, she hoped Lan Yun would stay here to assist Ling Xin in developing cotton cultivation techniques.

"Don't worry, Sister Lan. It shouldn't take long to cultivate the first batch of experimental cotton. By then, we can spread this technique throughout Tianfeng."

Lan Yun's heart surged upon hearing this, but she was not very skilled in these matters and was afraid of letting Feng Xiran down.

Feng Xiran encouraged her, saying she was the top scholar of Tianfeng and would certainly succeed. With a supportive person like Lan Yun, it was sure to work out. Lan Yun blushed deeply.
