Chapter 1841: Chapter 1839: Lifting a Rock Only to Crush One’s Own Foot

The courtyard of Elder Sima is a three-tiered structure. Because of the grand formation and barriers, even though no one has lived here for many years, it remains clean and tidy, spotless.

However, now it seems no different from an empty city. It used to be bustling, but the remaining clan members indeed need a long time to adapt.

Chu Chengfeng stood at the door, hesitated for a while, mustered his courage to knock, but the door opened from the inside, and Sima Xiaowen stood in the yard.

Their eyes involuntarily met, tangled in the air for a moment, and after a nearly greedy glance at Xiaowen, Chu Chengfeng seemed to regain his calm demeanor.

Today, he wore a coffee-colored trench coat, a white shirt, and black trousers, appearing tall and extraordinarily handsome.

Sima Xiaowen stared blankly at Chu Chengfeng, an identical figure flashed through her mind, but that person wore a cyan robe, hair tied up; although it was the same person, the expression was different.

The two stood silently opposite each other, neither spoke for a moment.

Just then, a man’s clear voice sounded from behind, "Hey, what are you two doing, one inside the door and one outside?"

The speaker was Xino, who came to find Sima Xiaowen to take a walk around.

After all, he had never been here before, felt it was quite novel these past few days, but sensed there were formations here, couldn’t rashly enter. The elders in the clan had no time for him, he had to find Xiaowen, unexpectedly seeing the clan leader and Xiaowen silently gazing at each other outside the Sima family’s door.

They couldn’t help but look at Xino, Sima Xiaowen frowned slightly, looked towards Chu Chengfeng, "Clan Leader, my dad is not home."

The title "Clan Leader" forcibly stretched the distance between them, Chu Chengfeng did not want to be called that by Sima Xiaowen, yet he was powerless, he softly said, "I know, I have something to discuss with you."

Xino naturally was perceptive, he hadn’t interacted with Sima Xiaowen for long but had some unusual thoughts towards her, yet these thoughts were not enough to drive him to pursue her recklessly.

But after so many years, it was rare to meet someone who caught his eye, he hoped to experience the beauty of love with Sima Xiaowen.

He simply sat on a stone bench nearby, didn’t speak, just waited there.

Clearly, he wasn’t planning to leave.

Chu Chengfeng turned around with a frown, his deep eyes fixed on Xino, but Xino smiled faintly at him, Chu Chengfeng expressionlessly looked away, then heard Sima Xiaowen say impatiently, "Whatever is between us, find my dad for clan matters, there’s nothing else to say."

Chu Chengfeng was used to it, mentally prepared, "Xiaowen, I don’t know how much you remember, but I remember everything. I also don’t know if you want to hear about our past..."

"I don’t want to hear!" Sima Xiaowen rejected without hesitation.

Having been hurt once, the person who hurt her had the audacity to come here, wanting to revisit the beautiful past — what a joke, does he take her for a child?

At this moment, Sima Xiaowen’s face turned sour, her eyes seemed to burn with flames, yet seeing this Sima Xiaowen, Chu Chengfeng smiled. No matter how angry, it’s better than the lifeless Sima Xiaowen she was earlier, he felt relieved.

"I think you have the right to know. Let me take you somewhere."

"Not going!" Sima Xiaowen again rejected without hesitation; she knew Chu Chengfeng was definitely going to revisit old places, recalling times they spent together, but alas, she remembered none of it.

Suddenly, Sima Xiaowen laughed, perhaps this is karma, a retribution.

When Chu Chengfeng regained his memory, didn’t he say he completely forgot everything about her, then broke up without hesitation, wouldn’t listen to any explanation or advice.

At that time, how decisive he was, his eyes and heart had only Liu Ling in his world, now coming to talk about these things, does he feel no shame?

Sima Xiaowen’s expression turned cold, word by word she spoke, "Chu Chengfeng, I tell you again, what you said, I don’t remember any of it, so the forgotten past has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to go see whatever place you’re talking about. You’re now the clan leader, busy with clan affairs, don’t waste time here, just leave."

At this moment, Chu Chengfeng finally understood what it meant to hoist a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot, and what it meant to eat one’s own bitter fruit.

But perhaps this is good, the pain Sima Xiaowen felt before, now returns to him, letting him feel the pain, otherwise he couldn’t get past this hurdle in his heart.

Chu Chengfeng pondered briefly, then did not continue to entangle.

He knew Sima Xiaowen couldn’t possibly accept his apology immediately, wouldn’t even want to hear him speak.

He stepped back, still smiling gently, "Xiaowen, actually I have many things to give you, but you’re angry now, maybe tomorrow. Oh yes..." He added, "Those things you once loved, I keep them in my storage space."

He was speaking truthfully, indeed many of Xiaowen’s things were in his storage space.

After all, in the whole Phoenix Clan, only Chu Chengfeng possessed such storage space; not everyone can cultivate such abilities.

Chu Chengfeng managed to open the storage space by merging Mo Li and Chu Chengfeng’s divine sense and cultivation, most importantly the spiritual fire.

Sima Xiaowen glanced at Chu Chengfeng intentionally keeping his distance, emotion flashed in her eyes, seeing the man mixed with anxiety and a hint of appeasement, her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

After all, he was the person she truly loved.

Saying she forgot, how can it be forgotten so cleanly, originally her heart was dead due to his behavior, who would have thought fate turns unexpectedly, he personally dealt with Liu Ling, didn’t bat an eye, completely relentless.

Liu Ling deserved it, but his nature, his method made Sima Xiaowen feel some actions were intended for her to vent her anger.

But even so, what does it matter?

She will not forgive him!

"Chu Chengfeng, I have no impression of those things, I don’t want them, keep them if you wish, discard them if not."

Then Sima Xiaowen simply stepped forward, out of the yard, shut the door firmly, didn’t look at Chu Chengfeng, instead walked straight towards Xino,
