Chapter 727: Conditions
“Ma Ji!” I stopped two meters away from the iron railing.
Someone immediately brought a chair for me.
I sat down, and Su Shen stood behind me with her arms crossed.
Ma Ji slowly opened her eyes and looked at me calmly.
“I can’t hurt you anymore, so there’s no need for you to stay so far away from me.” There was a hint of mockery in her tone.
I said nonchalantly, “Just to be on the safe side, I’d better stay away from you. After all, I’ve suffered too much at your hands. I’m not good at other things, but I still have a good memory.”
Ma Ji didn’t care about my criticism.
“I didn’t expect you to really come. I thought they wouldn’t let you see me again.” Her tone was still cold.
I shrugged. “They wouldn’t let me see you, but I was curious, so I came to see you without telling them.”
Ma Ji nodded. This time, her expression softened.
“Nanxing, I want to beg you for something,” she said clearly.
Huh??I was stunned.
“Beg me?” I couldn’t help but question.
Ma Ji looked at me with a calm gaze. “I want to beg you to help me take care of Tong Yan, erase her memory, and find a place for her to be an ordinary person.”
I was completely stunned.
Ma Ji continued, “If you’re willing to help me, I can give you a special gift in return.”
“Wait. Hold on. Tell me what’s going on with Tong Yan first. Why do you want me to take care of Tong Yan?”
A strange smile appeared on Ma Ji’s face. She knew that I wouldn’t be able to help her if she didn’t explain. She gritted her teeth. “Tong Yan is my daughter with Tong Hui. She is the only family I have in this world. My path has reached its end, but I don’t want her to follow in my footsteps. My tribe has already been destroyed. She hasn’t received any education from the tribe. If she doesn’t have anyone to protect her, she will definitely die.”
“Wait, wait...” I stopped her.
“Tong Yan is your daughter?! Your daughter with Tong Hui? But when I first met her, she told me she was Yan Yu’s daughter. She also said that she had many siblings. You two hated each other. You tortured her, and she hated you to the bone. How could she be your daughter?”
I was already stunned.
Ma Ji’s expression was calm. “Whether she is my daughter or not, you can get someone to investigate easily.”
I was even more surprised.
“In order to obtain the Phoenix Blood, Tong Hui wanted to use witchcraft. So, he found a few women who were similar to your mother. He had sex with them and told me to use my voodoo to charm them. Unfortunately, he never succeeded. As for me, I’ve admired him for so many years. I suggested to him that I could carry a child for him as well. Perhaps if the child is in my body, it would be more convenient for me to cast the spell.” Ma Ji raised her head slightly. “Tong Hui said yes but with a condition. I couldn’t raise the child on my own. Once the child is born, it will be sent away. When the child is ten years old, and its blood can be used in experiments, it will be sent back to me. However, I can’t ever admit to her my real identity.”
How cruel was that?
I looked at Ma Ji in shock.
Ma Ji sighed softly. “I don’t know how she grew up. When she was ten years old, a row of children came over to me for me to give them a physical examination. I immediately recognized the unremarkable child in the crowd as my daughter!”
