Chapter 3055: Chapter 3056: More Moving Than Love Words

"Wait!" Bai Ruozhu shouted, but it was too late; he was already gone, and she didn’t know what method he used.

The Astrologer narrowed his eyes and said to Bai Ruozhu, "He prepared a Magic Array elsewhere and transferred himself there."

"Can you track him?" Bai Ruozhu still had many questions unanswered, and she was unwilling to let Ning Ran escape like this.

The Astrologer shook his head, "He could be anywhere, and even if we find him, he will have already moved again."

"Forget it, let’s find a place to hide for now." Bai Ruozhu sighed.

The group found a hidden cave, planning to make do for the night.

Everyone sat down, drank some water, and ate a bit of dried food. The three children were exhausted and fell asleep, allowing Ao Song to recount the events.

"I’ve never mentioned it before, but I’m pretty much a useless member in the Zhong Family. Don’t be misled by the grand display when I go out; that’s just my parents trying to scare people off," Ao Song said with a bitter smile. "Outsiders don’t know, they think I am favored in the Zhong Family. Even I told you I’m from the direct lineage; that’s just my vanity acting up."

Bai Ruozhu squeezed her hand to comfort her. Ruozhu understood that even if Ao Song was vain, she hadn’t harmed anyone; she just wanted to prove her existence, which wasn’t really wrong.

"Most members of the Zhong Family gain special abilities, while a small portion doesn’t and are considered useless. My ability is strange with no real function, but it can devour other family members’ special abilities, which is forbidden in the family, so I’m no different from the useless members."

She smiled somewhat sadly, "My parents always felt sorry for me, but the Clan Elders never gave me any resources; they even preferred I not have too strong an ability. I know they are wary of me. They would rather I go out and have fun, just as long as I don’t threaten them."

So Ao Song had such experiences; she must have had an unhappy childhood being guarded and shunned by family members, with few friends of her age.

Her ability is similar to Taisui’s, which is devouring, specialized in countering the Zhong family members’ devouring abilities.

"Later, they changed their minds and wanted me to become Patriarch, to become their Puppet. I wasn’t happy about it, but I also didn’t want to make it difficult for my parents." Ao Song’s eyes reddened, "Today my father, as Patriarch, exiled me from the family, telling me to escape with you, he completely lost hope in them."

Bai Ruozhu’s heart tightened, "Is it because of the thing I asked you to say?"

Ao Song shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "No, it’s because they forced me to coax your words and wanted me to make a poison oath, it’s too outrageous!"

"I should have accompanied you," the Astrologer said, feeling heartbroken.

"After this incident, I’m thoroughly disappointed and don’t want to drag you into being used by them anymore," Ao Song looked at the Astrologer as she spoke.

"We are husband and wife; I’m with you wherever you are, and I’ll accompany you as you leave." The Astrologer said seriously.

The Astrologer’s words were not sweet, and he was somewhat cold and serious, but these words were more moving than any sweet talk, and everyone looked on approvingly.

"So what’s the plan next? Did your parents mention anything?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"It was chaotic at the time. My father was in the Assembly Hall, and my mother sent me out, telling me to flee far away. They said they would also seek a chance to leave the Zhong Family, but the three of us leaving at once is too conspicuous." Ao Song explained.
