Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Liu Qingxia’s Intentions

"Naive girl, there are some things you can’t merely see with your eyes, but must feel with your heart and learn to understand. Perhaps Young Master Lin Chen also has his own compelling difficulties."

Elder Qing, seeing Yu Weilian’s saddened appearance, reached out and gently stroked her head, trying to console her.

Yu Weilian understood that Elder Qing was comforting her, but she also knew that feelings could not be forced; if there was no affection, then there was none.

"Master, your disciple still has some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Yu Weilian bowed to Elder Qing and turned to leave.

She knew that Elder Qing had raised her and cared for her more than the other disciples, and thus she didn’t want Elder Qing to see her looking so aggrieved.

"Alas!"

Elder Qing watched Yu Weilian’s departing figure, sighed, and her gaze returned to the infant girl, her heart filled with confusion.

At the same time, just as Yu Weilian had stepped out of Elder Qing’s courtyard, she ran into Liu Qingxia.

Seeing Yu Weilian’s dispirited state, Liu Qingxia, even as the leader of a sect, felt a complex mix of emotions.

As a woman, Liu Qingxia naturally understood how Yu Weilian must be feeling at that moment.

After all, in Lin Chen’s heart, Yu Weilian was the person he had known before meeting Lin Chen, yet now the woman involved with Lin Chen was herself.

This was also the urgent reason that Liu Qingxia had come: she had always overlooked a problem.

It was the unusual relationship between Elder Qing’s disciple Yu Weilian and Lin Chen.

The origin of a child could be explained in many ways, but looks do not lie; should Yu Weilian see the infant girl, she could easily guess something from the resemblance to Lin Chen and herself.

However, Liu Qingxia was a step too late; she had heard everything that had happened in the courtyard just now.

Anyone would feel unsatisfied and upset if someone else took away the person they had known first.

"Weilian, you came to find your master?"

Liu Qingxia looked at Yu Weilian and spoke calmly.

Yu Weilian’s attitude towards Liu Qingxia had changed; she once regarded Liu Qingxia as an idol, but now she felt disgruntled.

"I pay my respects to the Sect Master!"

The previously disheartened Yu Weilian quickly greeted Liu Qingxia upon seeing her.

Liu Qingxia, seeing Yu Weilian’s dispirited state, also felt uncomfortable as her relationship with Lin Chen was unfair to Yu Weilian.

Seeing Yu Weilian’s despondent demeanor and her interaction with herself, Liu Qingxia knew that Yu Weilian must be aware of that incident.

Liu Qingxia originally wanted to explain the situation at the time, but could not bring herself to put aside her status as a Sect Master to explain to such a disciple.

Moreover, the undeniable fact was that Liu Qingxia had taken Lin Chen away from Yu Weilian; no matter how much she explained, it was meaningless now.

And that particular incident was also a once-in-a-lifetime pain for Lin Chen as a man.

Lin Chen certainly would not want others to know about it, and Liu Qingxia naturally wouldn’t reveal it either.

So, Liu Qingxia did not explain but simply nodded and entered Elder Qing’s courtyard.

"Weilian already knows about this matter?"

Liu Qingxia asked somewhat helplessly.

"Yes, the baby looks too much like Lin Chen, and with her intelligence, coupled with your seclusion these past two years, it isn’t hard for her to guess."

Elder Qing looked at Liu Qingxia, gave a helpless wry smile, and sighed.

Hearing this, Liu Qingxia took a deep breath and then her gaze fell onto her own daughter.

She knew that Yu Weilian would not spread the matter.

But indeed, this oversight could be exploited if others were to find out, being detrimental to the Divine Flame Sect, the daughter, and Lin Chen.

"Sister, I don’t wish for anyone else to know about this."

Liu Qingxia looked at Elder Qing, spoke lightly, a chill flashing in her eyes.

Elder Qing understood Liu Qingxia’s concerns; as the leader of a sect, she naturally had her methods.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will ensure Weilian keeps this matter to herself, and I absolutely won’t let anyone else learn of the Young Sect Master’s existence."

Elder Qing replied respectfully.

Elder Qing also knew the significance of this daughter in Liu Qingxia’s heart, and she sensed the powerful Bloodline Power contained within the infant, representing the future hope of the Divine Flame Sect.

"How has he been recently?"

Liu Qingxia suddenly asked about Lin Chen.

Elder Qing knew Liu Qingxia was asking about Lin Chen and proceeded to tell her about his recent status.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia showed a hint of a smile; Lin Chen’s valor pleased her.

For the past two years, while Liu Qingxia had not seen Lin Chen, Elder Qing and others often had interactions with the Lin family army.

"Has he mentioned me?"

Liu Qingxia inquired whether Lin Chen had spoken of her.

Elder Qing hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully: "No."
