Chapter Thirty-Five

A full minute had passed.... She still wasn't sitting....

'It's impossible for her to have seen through my lie already, right?' Rong You could feel her analyzing gaze on him making him break out into a cold sweat.

However, how could something like this shake someone as shameless as him?

Letting out a humph, he crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow in a cocky manner. "Are you doubting this master after I was being nice enough to help you? This master's time is precious, hurry and sit before you miss your chance."

Noticing how confident Rong You looked about the matter, Meng began to sway.

People like the emperor, who acted like her parents from her previous life, were easy to read because she understood their actions.

No matter what shape, form, or color they come in, they always held the same ambitious hearts and cruel means.

But, someone like Rong You, who had a 95% percent chance of just being completely insane, was difficult for her to predict

It wasn't like they had any Enmity between them, he shouldn't have any reason to lie to her....

"Do you really know about children?"  She finally asked curiously.

Without her knowing a spark of happiness had started to grow in her eyes. Even though she preferred the read books over anything, there wasn't time to waste, at this time It was much better to get the information from someone.

Rong You felt guilt-ridden after seeing how hopeful Meng's eyes were at the moment. For the first time, she didn't have her normal disconnected from the world expression and looked excited. 'Who exactly is able to make someone like her care so much?'

He couldn't come up with an answer to this question, as he searched through his knowledge of all other great masters alive during this time.

Meng said earlier that she was raising someone, but for a child to have enough charisma to manipulate someone like her...utterly unfeasible.

Thinking like this, Rong You was able to dismiss the guilt plaguing his heart. After all, from his knowledge there weren't any great masters in the Sun kingdom at his time, therefore there was only possibility: The person she was trying to raise was imaginary.

"Are you calling this master a liar! How outrageous! This master has no reason to lie to you!"

Meng no longer held back as her face lit up and she sat on the opposite side of Rong You. With a way to raise Feng Qi right clear in slight how could she let it go!?

"Forgive this ignorant disciple for showing any disrespect!" She tilted her head slightly in a bow before looking up with bright eyes. 

"Master You please guide this disciple."

Rong You was frozen in shock after seeing that this fickle disciple of his was able to summon up so much honesty. He felt extremely happy that he made the right choice and decided to answer her question.

From how much it seemed this question mattered to her after, answering it wouldn't his position raise by leaps and bounds in her heart?

"As this master is magnanimous, I won't hold it against you.  Now tell me what the issue is." He did a magnificent wave of dismissal with his hand making it seem like whatever happened before didn't matter at all.
