Chapter 1437

Inside the room, Gu Chen pulled his hand away from Feng Yaya's skull.

"Fellow Kong, she should wake up soon. Once she wakes up, we will begin the treatment," he said calmly.

Kong Sheng nodded with a smile. "Sorry to trouble you, Frined Gu."

Not long after, Feng Yaya's eyelashes fluttered, and she woke up. She opened her eyes with a pained expression.

"Miss Feng, you will only be awake for a short period of time. We need to hurry up and treat your injuries. Please do as I say."

Gu Chen said politely.

Feng Yaya had turned from a young girl to a white-haired woman, her face wrinkled like a tangerine peel.

If she were to experience the passage of time a few more times, it could cause irreparable damage to her.

"Sorry to trouble you, Master Gu." Feng Yaya nodded with difficulty.

Following that, Gu Chen spent a full six hours using his own space-time source to expel the power of time that was eroding Feng Yaya's body.

Because Feng Yaya had untangled the knot in her heart, she used her own power of origin to help expel the power. With the internal and external cooperation, the treatment process was very smooth.

"Alright, Miss Feng should be fine now. Remember to let her rest for a while."

When the treatment was complete, Gu Chen looked a little tired as he said to Kong Sheng.

As for Feng Yaya, after the power of time disappeared from her body, she returned to her original appearance. However, her complexion was still very pale, and her body was severely depleted.

"Thank you so much for today, Brother Gu." Kong Sheng grasped Gu Chen's hand and said gratefully.

"Just a small favor. You don't have to take it to heart, Brother Kong. I will need your help in many areas in the future as well." Gu Chen smiled in response.

"Not at all. If Brother Gu has any requests in the future, just let me know. No need to stand on ceremony," Kong Sheng said confidently.

"Then I will leave first. I will not disturb Miss Feng's rest." Gu Chen looked at Feng Yaya.

"Take care, Master Gu." Feng Yaya said softly.

Kong Sheng personally saw Gu Chen out of the research center, and then immediately returned to Feng Yaya's room.

"All of you, get out."

After sending off Gu Chen, Kong Sheng's warm smile became very cold, and he casually ordered a few maids in the room.

The maids quickly left, leaving Kong Sheng and Feng Yaya alone.

"Yaya, how do you feel now?" Kong Sheng stood by the bed, his eyes twinkling. No one knew what he was thinking.

Feng Ya Ya Xiu subconsciously clenched her fists, feeling a little panicked in her heart.

Having known Kong Sheng for so long, she had long understood his temper.

Usually, no matter how big the matter was, he was always smiling and had a frivolous look.

Judging from his current expression, it was clear that this matter had angered him.

Once he put on a serious face, the things he did afterwards were often terrifying.

"Sorry."

Thinking of the plan she had discussed with Gu Chen, Feng Yaya forced herself to calm down and spoke before Kong Sheng could say anything.

"What are you sorry for?" Kong Sheng's attitude was neither cold nor warm.

Feng Yaya clenched her teeth, mustered up her courage, and said, "I did not follow your instructions to cultivate properly. This time, I took the elixir, and it was the same in the past!"

Kong Sheng's eyes narrowed, and his voice was cold. "Why did you do this? I'm doing this for your own good."

"Because I'm not sure," Feng Yaya said softly.

"Not sure about what?" Kong Sheng frowned.

Feng Yaya took a deep breath and organized the words she had prepared in her mind. She murmured softly.

"When I was 65, you saved my hometown and helped me save Aunt Feng. I have always been grateful to you, and from then on, I followed you to Xing Jie."

"At first, I only felt gratitude towards you and wanted to repay your kindness. But as time passed, how could my feelings not change?"

"But other than giving me pointers in cultivation, you were always busy in the laboratory of the Ministry of Works. I'm not sure if you have the same feelings for me."

Feng Yaya pursed her lips as she said this. She seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

"When I was 60, you announced to the public that I was your fiancée. I thought you cared about me too. You didn't say it, but I was actually very happy."

Kong Sheng's eyes flashed. He did not seem to believe Feng Yaya's confession. He said, "If that's the case, why don't you listen to me and focus on cultivation?"

"Cultivation, cultivation. You're always like this!"

Feng Yaya's voice suddenly turned urgent. She was angry, and her face was flushed. "All these years, other than letting me cultivate, how much have you cared about me?"

"You've thought of all sorts of ways to get me to the Dao Querying Realm, but you don't care about me like before. I don't know if I'm really that important to you!"

Feng Yaya bit her lip until it bled, revealing her true feelings.

Kong Sheng looked at her tearful expression and was a little shocked. This was the first time he had heard Feng Yaya speak her heart to him like this.

"You're saying that because of this, you don't want to focus on cultivation?" he asked.

"Kong Sheng, you want me to be your fiancée. Do you really like me?" Feng Yaya did not answer him directly, but looked at him with disappointment.

Kong Sheng was speechless for a moment.

"Yaya, I understand what you mean. Rest well first. We'll talk about this later."

After a while, Kong Sheng sighed and left the room. He did not ask any more questions.

Feng Yaya saw Kong Sheng leave so quickly, and the grievance on her face quickly disappeared. A strange light shone in her eyes.

In her mind, she thought back to what Gu Chen had said to her when they were discussing the plan.

"Now that you've gone berserk, Kong Sheng must have sensed that you're purposely not wanting to break through. Under such circumstances, he might very well get to the bottom of it, and even resort to more drastic measures.

"If he starts to suspect you, and becomes wary, it will be even more difficult for us to find a chance to kill him.

"Therefore, after your injuries are healed, the first thing to do is to think about how to dispel his suspicions."

"Then how should I explain? Kong Sheng is a very suspicious person. Normal explanations won't fool him."

"There's no need to explain. Just keep pestering me!"

"What? Pestering me? "

"That's right. You won't be able to convince Kong Sheng no matter what excuse you come up with. Why don't you start from your feelings? No matter what, you're engaged in name, and there's bound to be feelings. And for a girl your age, don't you care about your own feelings the most? "

As Gu Chen said this, Feng Yaya roughly understood what he was trying to say.

It was nothing more than pushing her distrust of Kong Sheng onto her feelings. Such an excuse seemed ridiculous, but as a young girl, how many of them would not be emotional?

Feng Yaya was an extremely intelligent person. She understood what Gu Chen was trying to do, and so she shifted the issue to her feelings. In the end, Kong Sheng had nothing to say, and the matter was over.

"Uncle Gu is really amazing to be able to think of such a move."
