Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1131 - 1056: Guilt

For a moment, Li Ruolin’s face turned red. She had simply been too self-indulgent just now.

The little nurse Li Ruolin was still too shy. If it were Yun Xi in her place, she certainly wouldn’t feel embarrassed; she’d just curse Ye Qingfeng for being clueless, saying he was dispassionate!

Watching Ye Qingfeng leave with Bu Fan, Li Ruolin was still puzzled about how he managed to find her friend.

Unless he knew beforehand, which would mean he deliberately came to ask her, suggest making conversation.

Li Ruolin felt truly perplexed. She bit her lip gently and decided to follow, wanting to find out if this guy was actually pursuing her.

His behavior was just too odd!

Ye Qingfeng’s Divine Sense naturally detected Li Ruolin following behind, but Ye Qingfeng had no mind to pay attention to her as he needed to go find Zhao Zhiruo.

He had already sensed that Zhao Zhiruo was indeed injured; he needed to hurry over.

In a ward on the third floor of the inpatient building lay a girl on the hospital bed, her complexion pale.

"Zhiruo, let’s transfer to an Advanced ward, where there’ll be dedicated care and your injuries might heal more quickly." Sitting beside the bed, Su Qiong advised.

"No need, the doctor already said my internal organs are severely shaken and need slow recuperation; it’ll be the same in any ward. The Advanced ward doesn’t offer any advantage and costs a lot more. I am not that delicate."

Zhao Zhiruo shook her head with a pale face; she heard the price for the Advanced ward and stubbornly refused to switch.

Even though Su Qiong would pay.

Su Qiong didn’t press further, knowing her friend’s temperament; she might appear gentle, but inside she’s really stubborn.

Moreover, she’s a resilient girl; even if Su Qiong was paying, she wouldn’t agree to stay in the Advanced ward. Otherwise, Su Qiong would have funded Zhao Zhiruo’s family long ago.

After all, for Su Qiong, just a bit of spending would greatly lighten the burden on Zhao Zhiruo’s family. Yet, she hasn’t done that.

Doing so would ruin their friendship; normally they would disregard spending matters when together, usually Su Qiong adapting to Zhao Zhiruo’s way of life.

"Zhiruo, you’re making me feel very guilty. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be in this condition—it’s all my fault." Su Qiong said with great guilt.

Zhao Zhiruo smiled faintly, resignedly saying, "Alright, you’ve said this is the ninth time today, I’m tired of hearing it. It’s not your fault, it’s all because Liu Feng and his monstrous senior brother."

"No, it’s my fault. If not for my poor judgment liking such scum, you wouldn’t be in this state," Su Qiong quickly said, tears almost flowing.

Zhao Zhiruo said nothing; if the conversation continued, Su Qiong would start crying again, feeling guilty all for another half day.

She truly didn’t blame Su Qiong; she knew that Su Qiong actually didn’t quite like Liu Feng, it was mere admiration.

Because Su Qiong was a spoiled young lady from birth, surrounded by clan-backed arrogant young men whom she always despised.

Therefore, Su Qiong never mingled with those clan boys, instead became Zhao Zhiruo’s good friend.

That’s precisely why she admired the ambitious Liu Feng from a collateral branch of the family.

Young girls are often swept up in such admiration before knowing Liu Feng’s character, leading to this outcome.

Thus, Zhao Zhiruo didn’t blame Su Qiong; she just felt a bit upset about the necklace—a gift from Ye Qingfeng—her first.

If Ye Qingfeng returned and saw the necklace he gave was missing, would he be angry?

"Zhiruo, I’m grateful to you for saving me. Without you, I might have—" Su Qiong said without restraint.

She panicked thinking about the consequences had Zhao Zhiruo’s necklace not been there. Liu Feng was truly ruthless—despite Su Qiong’s admiration for him, he tried to offer Su Qiong to other men for his ambitions.

Such a deranged person made Su Qiong feel she was blind for ever liking Liu Feng.

Even that conceited Ye Qingfeng was a million times better than Liu Feng.

"It’s alright, aren’t we best friends? Under such circumstances, you’d have saved me too," Zhao Zhiruo shook her head saying.

"But I caused your Jade Pendant Necklace to be taken. Seeing how excited they were, that pendant must be a treasure worth a fortune. Liu Feng gifted me a necklace earlier, worth over a million, but when I threw it out, they didn’t even care, didn’t pick it up when leaving, which means this necklace is far more valuable than that million-dollar diamond necklace."

As she spoke, Su Qiong couldn’t hold back any longer, her eyes reddened, "It’s all my fault, costing you such a precious necklace!"

Speaking of which, even Su Qiong felt strange. Just what kind of precious necklace did Ye Qingfeng gift Zhao Zhiruo that made Liu Feng and his senior brother so ecstatic?

Su Qiong felt truly happy for Zhao Zhiruo being able to find such a generous man, indicating Ye Qingfeng’s love for her.

Although this man was a bit self-centered, he seemed good in other respects.

Listening about the necklace, Zhao Zhiruo’s heart also felt slightly heavy; she wasn’t worried about the necklace’s value, knowing it was precious long ago.

Previously, Guan Yuntang showed desire for it, moreover, the necklace had saved her multiple times, enough to prove its value beyond monetary measure.

She cherished the necklace because it was Ye Qingfeng’s first gift to her; worthless as it might be, she liked it immensely.

She didn’t want Ye Qingfeng to see it gone; he’d be disappointed.

Though saddened inside, Zhao Zhiruo pretended smiling gently, speaking very calmly, "It’s alright, just a necklace. No matter what, it’s not more important than your purity. Besides, this necklace was a gift from Ye Qingfeng; once he’s back, he’ll surely retrieve the necklace."

"Retrieve? How would he do that? Zhiruo, you absolutely cannot think like that. Even if Ye Qingfeng returned, you can’t allow him to act recklessly over this; Liu Feng is not someone Ye Qingfeng could mess with now,"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhiruo’s words, Su Qiong hurriedly said.

"Didn’t we hear them say that once they obtain your Jade Pendant Necklace, Liu Feng can become an Inner Sect disciple of the Mountain River Sect? His status within the Liu Family would rise substantially. The Liu Family is one of the top-tier families in all of Huaxia, definitely untouchable."
