Chapter 1747: Chapter 1746: Born of Heaven and Earth

Sometimes, Sima Xiaowen would come to the Divine Land of the Phoenix Clan to play. However, with the imposing presence of the Clan Leader, she behaved herself in the Divine Land. There was one incident, though, when she accidentally entered the sacred ground of the clan and somehow ended up fighting with Liu Ling, resulting in the two becoming enemies.

Several years later, as he was preparing for Nirvana, he didn’t expect Sima Xiaowen to bring with her a wicked person who had been coveting the Phoenix Clan’s divine artifacts to the Divine Land. That person’s skills were profound and mysterious, leading the Phoenix Clan to turn on each other.

Later, the Huang Clan got involved as well.

When he awoke, he learned that Liu Ling had died, and the Phoenix Clan had split and collapsed, forming two clans. The Feng Clan had almost no members left, and the Huang Clan was equally devastated.

In order to survive, the Huang Clan accepted Gu Junbai as their leader. At that time, he had just undergone Nirvana Rebirth, losing everything, including his abilities. He didn’t even have time to deal with Sima Xiaowen’s matters, reluctantly sealing himself again until awakening now.

Yet fate plays cruel jokes. Sima Xiaowen had become his lover, even reaching the point of discussing marriage, declaring a love of life and death, with no one else but her.

But now he is back.

Such a thing will never be.

He didn’t kill her, taking into account that she had retrieved the Phoenix Clan’s divine artifact and Elder Sima’s reputation; otherwise, he would have shown no mercy.

Furthermore, only a few knew the truth about what happened back then. It seemed Elder Sima was also unaware.

Also, Sima Xiaowen seemed to have been deceived, but even so, she couldn’t escape responsibility.

He began to organize his belongings. The Jade Pendant around his neck belonged to Sima Xiaowen, and the one Sima Xiaowen wore was his.

The two had exchanged tokens of love.

Then he saw that there were clothes in the wardrobe that Sima Xiaowen had bought for him, while he too had bought many things for Xiaowen.

Chu Chengfeng sorted out all these things and had the attendant throw them away.

He didn’t have time to notice the strange expression on the attendant’s face. Opening the drawer, he found many photos of him and Sima Xiaowen.

It seemed they had visited many places together.

From the eyes of Chu Chengfeng in the photos, he saw the love for Sima Xiaowen and her free-spirited smile, just as before.

He found it irritating, so he gathered all the photos. With a flick of his finger, a golden light fell upon them, turning them into flames, burning all the photos to nothing in the blink of an eye.

As the photos disappeared, standing before the desk, he suddenly lost his balance and sat down on the sofa, his right hand unconsciously clutching at his chest. Deep in an unknowable corner of his heart, it felt as if a knife was twisting there, the pain making him frown.

Perhaps this is what they mean by heart-wrenching pain.

Maybe that’s a trace of consciousness left by the former Chu Chengfeng in this body, but he is Chu Chengfeng, and Chu Chengfeng is him!

This body wasn’t born of human flesh but was a product of Nirvana Rebirth, picked up by Father Chu from the cave, so Mother Chu was neither warm nor cold to him, yet never neglected him.

It’s just that she never gave that motherly affection for her son.

But he didn’t care for it; he was born of nature and had no desire for it.

Sima Xiaowen seemed to have been dealt with by now. He believed that if she had any self-awareness, she wouldn’t appear in front of him, and his priority now was to find Liu Ling.

But first, he needed to sort out his own memories, because he realized that during the chaotic days within the Phoenix Clan, he seemed to have lost some memories.

If it were anything else, it wouldn’t matter, but this was very important to him.

He was determined to unravel what happened back then.

After all, those were the most critical days for the survival of the Phoenix Clan, certainly important memories, and he didn’t know why he lost them. So he had to work hard to retrieve them now.

For now, nothing would change; everything would be as it was in the past. He was Chu Chengfeng, the adopted son of the Chu Family and the eldest son, with enterprises under his command, currently preparing the opening of the third beef noodle restaurant.

But first, he needed to return to the cave where Father Chu found him, to search for clues, possibly leading him to Liu Ling.

Thinking of Liu Ling, his eyes softened but also carried a trace of sadness. Liu Ling was his best companion, and he would stop at nothing to bring Liu Ling back to this world.

Chu Chengfeng had nearly cleared out all items related to Sima Xiaowen in this courtyard.

He touched the Jade Pendant on his neck, initially intending to take it off and place it in the office drawer, but then he gave up.

The thing Sima Xiaowen gave him was the most precious.

It was a Jade Pendant formed from the essence of the Nirvana Stones passed down through the Huang Clan generations.

Not quite priceless, but nearly so, too risky to leave it here while he gave Sima Xiaowen the finest Imperial Green available on the market. No comparison, but the unknowing wouldn’t understand, just like the former Chu Chengfeng, who always thought he gave the best, unaware that the Jade Pendant he gifted didn’t compare to the Nirvana Stone around his neck.

However, that Jade Pendant would be taken back sooner or later, but the Nirvana Stone...

Thinking of this, Chu Chengfeng frowned; he wouldn’t give the Nirvana Stone to Sima Xiaowen.

This woman’s actions were truly displeasing.

Something so important, casually given away, even to a lover, shouldn’t be treated so lightly.

He would directly hand over the Nirvana Stone to Elder Sima.

Speaking of which, he still needed to contact those seeking elders.

Due to the chaos in the Phoenix Clan at that time, the Divine Land had disappeared. He needed to reopen the Divine Land, after all, it held the most ancient heritage and countless rare treasures of the Phoenix Clan.

With this thought, Chu Chengfeng hesitated no more, dressed, and pushed open the door, stepping out, and skillfully started the car, speeding off towards the outskirts of Imperial Capital City.

At this moment, Xiaowen had already sorted through everything, although only the current matters. As for what Chu Chengfeng had said about the past, she couldn’t remember.

Sima Xiaowen stood in front of the telephone, gritting her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed the phone.

As the phone rang, her heart pounded along with it.

Her feelings were indescribable, but she deeply hoped the person answering would be Chu Chengfeng, speaking to her in the usual tone, saying, "Wenwen, I was wrong, it’s all my fault, it was just a joke, I’ll come pick you up immediately, we can go shopping, you can do whatever you like, just please, don’t ignore me..."

But no one ever answered the phone, and eventually, it ended...
