CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: YOU SEEK HELP TODAY, OTHERS WILL SEEK YOURS TOMORROW

Clang—

The bowl on the table responded to its cue, falling to the ground and shattering into several pieces.

Silence filled the room.

Bai You’s face was ashen.

"Little Lin, you must not act recklessly."

The matter regarding Chu Tianyi was indeed outrageous, enough to anger both gods and men. But who would believe it?

Grand Doctor Chu was a simpleton; a fool’s words would only be deemed senseless babble.

If it weren’t for Little Lin coming to Purple Cloud City to claim her familial heritage, Grand Doctor Chu’s death would have gone unnoticed.

Shi Guiren was fraught with worry, looking towards Xin Lin.

"Noble, are you afraid I will act rashly? Rest assured, I am here to claim my heritage, not to cause trouble."

Xin Lin smiled, but there wasn’t a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Despite her bone-deep hatred for Chu Tianyi, Xin Lin was very clear that the time was not right.

Over the past five years, Chu Tianyi had plenty of opportunities to kill Silly Chu, yet he never made a move.

Chu Tianyi was waiting for the right moment, but what he didn’t expect was that he would end up waiting for her, Xin Lin.

"But given Grand Doctor Chu’s current state, how will you claim your heritage?"

Shi Guiren’s brows furrowed with concern.

Grand Doctor Chu couldn’t even remember his own name, let alone recognize Little Lin.

"It’s precisely because he’s become like this that I must claim my heritage."

Xin Lin blinked confidently, her face filled with determination.

She waved at Silly Chu, who obediently, like a well-behaved child, moved to Xin Lin’s side.

Xin Lin wiped his mouth and hands for him, her large, luminescent eyes blinking.

"Silly Chu, do you know who I am?"

Silly Chu smiled foolishly.

"Fifteen years ago, a woman from the Xin Family of Qian Village saved your life. Do you remember?"

Silly Chu continued to smile foolishly.

Shi Guiren grew even more worried.

"It’s okay if you don’t remember. All you need to know is that from now on, I, Xin Lin, am your daughter, Chu Beiqing. No matter who asks, you must insist that I am your daughter and you are my father!"

Xin Lin said with heartfelt earnestness.

Silly Chu was momentarily baffled, then nodded decisively.

"Daughter... daughter... you... daughter... me... father..."

Silly Chu grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Little Lin, what do you plan to do?"

Shi Guiren didn’t understand Xin Lin’s intentions.

"From now on, I will be Grand Doctor Chu’s only daughter. All that he has lost, all his honor and achievements, I will take it all back as his daughter."

Xin Lin smiled faintly.

Silly Chu might seem foolish, but he was stubborn.

Once he fixated on a fact, no one could sway him.

Chu Tianyi thought that Silly Chu posed no threat at all, but that wasn’t the case.

After all, there was at least one person Silly Chu could still influence—Emperor Longteng!

After Xin Lin and Silly Chu had their stories straight, she then informed Shi Guiren of General Zuo’s message from yesterday.

Having heard the news, Shi Guiren’s face turned pale.

General Zuo was Shi Guiren’s last lifeline. Now, even her most loyal General Zuo was unwilling to help, who else could she count on?

Shi Guiren felt utterly isolated, as if there was no one in the vast Purple Cloud City who could assist her and her son.

"Prince, it is mother’s incompetence that has put us in this predicament. If only I had been stronger, we wouldn’t have come to this."

Shi Guiren shed silent tears.

"Mother, this isn’t your fault. It’s the fault of those people. If it comes to it, I simply won’t be a prince."

Little Xinzhuo couldn’t bear to see Lady Chu distressed.

"Ah Zhuo, you’re wrong to say that. You must become the prince, for today you ask favors of others, but tomorrow others will ask favors of you. We will make General Zuo regret his decision and come back begging to support you and Shi Guiren."

Xin Lin said with a smile.
