Standing at the door, I slipped through the crack. There was no knocking, no sound at all.

They came quietly and left quietly, without anyone noticing.

Having finished her business, Jiang Anxia headed up the mountain.

In the darkness of the night, Jiang Anxia walked slowly, step by step.

She usually arrives quickly, but now it took her twice as long.

Reaching the entrance of a hidden cave, Jiang Anxia pushed aside the vegetation and went inside.

She discovered this cave by chance when she went up the mountain earlier.

Coming here now is just right.

After entering, Jiang Anxia immediately restored the entrance to its original state and then entered the space.

Next, she needs to think about it carefully.

...

"Mom?" Jiang Nanqiu tentatively called out to her mother, wanting to see how she was doing.

"Third son, why... didn't you tell me?" Jiang's mother raised her head, her red eyes staring straight at Jiang Nanqiu.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it," Jiang Nanqiu explained softly. This was why he didn't want his mother to know.

Besides, who's inside Xiaxia's body? That's no longer important now.

"Can't accept it? So, when did you find out?" Jiang's mother sneered.

Jiang Nanqiu, judging from their conversation just now, they must have known for a long time! They just kept it from her and didn't say anything.

"Very early," Jiang Nanqiu replied softly.

"Fine, fine, fine, you really are my good son. Is this how you treat me? Are you afraid I can't accept it? But that's no excuse for hiding it from me. That's my daughter. What happened to her is something I, as her mother, shouldn't know?" Mother Jiang said sternly, her eyes dark.

"I know I was wrong. Mom, could you... please not tell anyone what I found out today?" Jiang Nanqiu stared intently into her mother's eyes.
