After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 54 - Regret

54: Chapter 54 Regret

54 -54 Regret

In a modest courtyard, several ancient trees swayed gently in the wind, their fallen leaves rustling, where a woman stood silently.

She was dressed in simple, plain clothes; her hair like a cascading waterfall, lightly draped.

She stood there as though she melded with the courtyard, acquiring a hint of withering quietude.

It wasn’t until Guoguo’s voice came from the room once again that she took steps to go inside.

In the room.

Guoguo had already gotten up and began to dress herself, speaking as she did:

“Mom, it’s time for breakfast, we’ll be heading to the woods soon.”

Ren Shan, looking at her sensible and obedient daughter, felt her eyes moisten.

She had done many unforgivable things and taken advantage of many people.

She had also harmed not a few.

But she had never let her daughter know of these things, nor had she ever tainted her daughter’s innocence.

She had tried hard to protect her daughter, but because of her own cleverness, she could no longer protect her personally.

This place could no longer accommodate her.

Soon, she put on a smile, came beside Guoguo, and helped her dress.

“There’s no rush today, we don’t have to go to the woods.”

Upon hearing this, Guoguo looked surprised: “Why aren’t we going today?”

“Because I want to spend today with Guoguo,” Ren Shan said with a tender smile.

She then began to tidy up the room and pack up Guoguo’s clothes.

As she folded the clothes, she said:

“Do you remember that uncle?”

“I do, he bullied you,” Guoguo pouted as she spoke.

“Not at all,” Ren Shan said adoringly as she looked at her daughter:

“It was mom who did a bad thing, which put uncle in danger, which is why he angrily came over to get justice.”

“Is mom a bad person?” Guoguo asked with wide eyes.

“Mom is not a bad person; mom is the person who loves Guoguo the most.

It’s just that mom misunderstood uncle, and that’s what led to the consequences.

In the future, Guoguo must make sure to understand both sides and not make mistakes,” Ren Shan said softly as she caressed her daughter’s face.

Guoguo didn’t understand, but she still nodded.

“If Guoguo encounters that uncle in the future, remember not to blame him; he might still be someone you can rely on,” Ren Shan said.

“Guoguo will only go to see the fish; I don’t want to see the uncle,” Guoguo turned her head and said.

Ren Shan watched and said nothing.

After packing up the clothes, Ren Shan took out a bracelet, put the clothes away, and put it on Guoguo’s wrist:

“If mom isn’t around in the future, remember to take good care of yourself.

When it’s cold, remember to wear clothes, and don’t think that wearing thick clothes isn’t good-looking.

Also, make sure to eat well, especially breakfast, as it will make you smarter.

If you practice cultivation, you must work hard.

But don’t be wilful, or people will dislike you.

If you make friends, be sure to look closely and understand them well.”

As she spoke, Ren Shan’s eyes moistened, and large teardrops that she couldn’t hold back began to fall.

She wanted to wipe them away, but found that the tears flowed like a spring, the more she wiped, the more they came.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Guoguo saw her mother crying, and she also cried, still climbing up to wipe away her mother’s tears.

“Mom, don’t cry, Guoguo is with you.

Guoguo has grown up and can help you with the housework and cooking.”

Ren Shan looked at her daughter and hugged her tightly: “Guoguo, don’t forget your mom; you must never forget.”

“Guoguo won’t leave Mom,” Guoguo said earnestly in her mother’s arms.

After a moment, Guoguo added: “Mom also shouldn’t leave Guoguo.”

Upon hearing this, Ren Shan’s tears fell once again.

If there could be a choice…

The her without secrets no longer had the possibility of choice, the secret had been discovered, and once the news spread, she was left with no possibility.

The following day, Ren Shan spent the whole day out with Guoguo, visiting both East Side Market and South Market; they went everywhere.

Guoguo was very happy, showing a smile all day long.

At dusk, they walked outside the Sect.

“Mom, when will we come to play again?

When dad returns, we must bring dad to play,” Guoguo said with a smile.

Ren Shan simply nodded with a smile.

As they approached the gate of the Sect, she finally spoke up: “Guoguo must be obedient in the future, never throw tantrums like a child, make people like you, and live well.”

“With mom here, Guoguo will definitely be obedient,” Guoguo said earnestly.

At this moment, they walked out of the Sect.

But they had just left the Sect not long before suddenly three masked people appeared.

Seeing them in an instant, Ren Shan’s instinct was to flee.

However, the moment she grabbed Guoguo, a dark figure arrived instantly.

With a bang, she was kicked flying away.

He then grabbed Guoguo and intended to leave.

Guoguo, seeing her mother kicked away, became terrified and loudly cried out for her mother.

Trying even harder to struggle free from the robed figure’s grip.

Ren Shan gazed at her kidnapped daughter, her heart wrenching like it was being sliced by knives.

Especially the sight of her daughter struggling and weeping tore her heart to shreds.

Struggling to her feet, she quickly gave chase.

Power began to gather.

She…

Regretted it.

She shouldn’t have been weak, shouldn’t have placed her hopes in someone else.

What if, what if they intended to harm Guoguo?

“Give me back my daughter!”

She shouted loudly as she attacked.

But the moment she drew near, the other party struck with a palm.

Bang!

Ren Shan was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Mother!”

Guoguo, seeing her mother spit blood, cried out in horror.

But no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from that person’s grasp.

Ren Shan quickly got to her feet and charged again.

The masked person frowned: “Seeking death.”

This time she didn’t hold back.

She severely wounded Ren Shan and left her lying on the ground.

At this point, Ren Shan lay on the ground, struggling to lift her head, reaching out for her daughter being taken away.

But in the end, she caught nothing.

She could only watch helplessly as her daughter was taken away.

Tears welled up in her eyes; she had regrets.

But her powerless self could not change the outcome.

…

When Gu An returned from the logging area, he did not see Ren Shan.

He sat by the pond, watching the fish inside.

They seemed to be sleeping, belly-up.

“Can you talk?” Gu An asked.

But the other party completely ignored him.

Having no other choice, he continued to throw peanuts enhanced with Gang Qi into the pond.

Bang!

Big Eye Fish rolled a few times but soon became excited, swallowing the peanut in one gulp.

Then it stared at Gu An, expectant.

“Can you talk?” Gu An asked again.

Big Eye Fish shook its head.

“Do you understand human speech?”

Big Eye Fish shook its head again.

With that, Gu An paid it no further attention and turned to go back to his room to rest.

The next morning.

When Gu An went to the logging area, he found Ren Shan had returned to her abode.

The woman who had visited before appeared once more.

He heard Ren Shan plead desperately: “Senior Sister, Guoguo has been kidnapped, please help me find her, I beg you.”

Gu An was just passing by, not staying, and he overheard this.

But he remembered the woman.

Most likely, she was the Qing Chenxi mentioned by Ren Shan.

However, Ren Shan’s panic and unease did not seem feigned.

Gu An could only lament that beautiful women were too good at acting; it was easy to be deceived by their slightest carelessness.

However, he felt uneasy about her not leaving the Sect.

He only hoped things would speed up.

At the same time.

Qing Chenxi, upon seeing Gu An in Ren Shan’s yard, furrowed her brow.

She remembered this man should have been out on a mission, why was he still in the Sect?

And she had sent people to contact him, yet there had been no news so far.
