Chapter 810: Chapter 579: National Master Agrees to Help Him Regain His Memory, Exposing Fake Little Nine in Front of the National Master_2

Xiao Jinyan felt immense pressure under the National Master’s scrutinizing gaze.

"National Master, I indeed only remember the affairs of Nanzhao Country. According to Xiao Jiu, I can’t recall any memories after returning to Daxia, nor how I encountered her. Every word I say is true; I wouldn’t dare deceive the National Master."

Jun Moqing: "Even if I gave you the courage, you wouldn’t dare."

Shen Chuwei shuffled a couple of steps closer to Jun Moqing, her two little hands grabbing his sleeve, and affectionately called out, "Dad."

Jun Moqing’s eyes, cold as ink, glanced at the two small hands on his sleeve before raising his gaze to their owner.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Shen Chuwei: "..." Ah! The National Master is so formidable, seeing straight through her intentions.

"Do you have a way to help him recover his memory?"

Jun Moqing looked at Xiao Jiu coolly, "Why should I help him and waste my time?"

Shen Chuwei shamelessly replied: "He is your future son-in-law. Doesn’t that alone make it worth your while to help?"

Jun Moqing glanced at Xiao Jinyan, "Are you sure you want to marry him?"

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously; she was already married to Xiao Jinyan.

"Then of course, haven’t you said that it’s up to me? You’re so enlightened; surely you wouldn’t be so cruel as to split a loving couple, right?"

Jun Moqing: "I wouldn’t go that far."

Shen Chuwei tugged at the sleeve of the National Master, looking at him with anticipation, "Then will you help?"

Jun Moqing said: "I don’t waste time and energy on people who don’t matter to me. How do I know he’s sincere with you?"

Shen Chuwei replied: "I know best whether he’s sincere or not."

Jun Moqing looked at her, "Hmm?"

Shen Chuwei cleared her throat softly and leaned close to the National Master’s ear, whispering a few words.

Xiao Jinyan watched Xiao Jiu suspiciously, not knowing what she was discussing with the National Master.

After Shen Chuwei finished speaking, Jun Moqing said: "How do you know he’s not just leading you on with empty promises?"

Shen Chuwei: "..." The National Master knows about leading people on with empty promises? How progressive...

"There’s a saying, isn’t there? ’The path you choose yourself, you must walk it even if you have to crawl.’ Although I won’t crawl, I’m sure I can make it to the end. It’s just that the things I encounter and the methods I use might be different."

Jun Moqing: "..."

Shen Chuwei asked seriously, "Do you understand?"

Jun Moqing of course understood; he always thought his daughter was like her, but now it seems, she’s half and half.

"In two days."

Shen Chuwei was so delighted upon hearing this she almost jumped for joy, but seeing the National Master’s cool, impassive expression, she managed to hold herself back.

She turned to grab Xiao Jinyan’s sleeve, "You’ll be able to recover your memories in two days."

Xiao Jinyan was also overjoyed. He was eager to know what had happened after he left Nanzhao.

He bowed to Jun Moqing, "Thank you for your assistance, National Master."

"I am doing it for Xiao Jiu’s sake," Jun Moqing implied that if not for Xiao Jiu, he wouldn’t bother.

Shen Chuwei clenched her teeth and took out a pastry from her sleeve pocket. She had saved one from earlier, wrapped in oil paper, and now to show gratitude to the National Master, she had no choice but to offer it.

She unwrapped the oil paper and offered the pastry to the National Master with both hands, sweetly saying, "Dad, have a piece of pastry."

Jun Moqing looked at the pastry before him, "Unwarranted kindness..."

Shen Chuwei unabashedly interjected: "Your daughter just wants to honor you."

Jun Moqing shook his head helplessly and took the pastry from her hand, biting into it.

Seeing the National Master eat, Shen Chuwei then asked, "Dad, it’s alright for him to stay in Wuyou Palace, isn’t it?"

Jun Moqing replied: "Since you have asked, how could I refuse..."

Shen Chuwei didn’t wait for him to finish, cheerfully saying: "You’re the best."

"..." Jun Moqing: "Arrange a Guest Room for him."

"Alrighty, we’ll take our leave now." Shen Chuwei waved her hand and pulled Xiao Jinyan out with her.

Jun Moqing watched his daughter leave happily and looked down at the pastry in his hand, suddenly finding it less appetizing.

Wuyou Palace was vast, with many Guest Rooms. Shen Chuwei arranged one for Xiao Jinyan not too close, yet not too far, and had a Palace Maid tidy up the room first.

Thinking that Xiao Jinyan would recover his memory in just two days, Shen Chuwei felt a weight lift from her heart.

"This went smoother than I expected, probably because I’m impersonating Feng Wuyou. If the National Master realizes I’m a fake, I’d be done for."

Xiao Jinyan noticed she still didn’t believe he was Xiao Jiu and felt somewhat helpless: "The National Master isn’t easily fooled. If you were an imposter, he would likely see through you at a glance."
