After seeing that the Holy Spirit Fruit had been distributed, Rolnis smiled with satisfaction.
He turned his gaze to Gu Qingze who was standing beside him.
"Is Hong Jing okay now?"
Gu Qingze didn't react for a moment, and only remembered after a moment that this was his father's name.
"My father is doing well, but he's busy with business, so we don't see each other very often."
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He had only seen him once since he entered the book. Oh, no, that time should not be considered a meeting.
After all, he listened at the door and didn't even enter the house. Everything he knew about his father now came from the original owner's memory.
Rolness sighed, as if the previous words brought back some memories.
"He still can't let go..."
Gu Qingze became interested and asked indirectly.
"Is there anything that my father is worried about?"
"The only person in this world that he cares about is your mother."
Could it be that there is another hidden story behind the original owner's mother's death?
Gu Qingze actually likes listening to stories, especially true stories, which make him feel more involved.
"Uncle Rolnis, do you know anything about my mother? I haven't seen her since I can remember, and I know nothing about her life. No one else in the tribe has ever mentioned her either."
Looking at Gu Qingze's inquiring eyes, Rolnis sighed again.
"I only know a little about your mother."
"It's okay, Uncle Rolness, just tell me everything you know. I want to know more about my mother. After all, she gave birth to me. It would be too much if I knew nothing about her."
Gu Qingze looked at Rolnis pitifully, waiting for him to speak.
While Rolness was organizing his words, Gu Qingze pulled Chu Lingxiao over from a distance.
"Is this okay? This is about your mother after all."
Chu Lingxiao was right next to Gu Qingze, but when he heard him talking about family matters with Rolness, he politely avoided him.
The others also went about their own business, leaving them space. Listening to other people's private affairs was not a good idea, and it was also about his late mother...
At first, Lao Shi wanted to stay with Rolnis so that he could take care of him, but he was sent away by Rolnis.
"It's okay. Maybe I'll need your shoulder when I'm sad later."
Gu Qingze teased.
How could he be alone when listening to a story?
He was an orphan and had never experienced the love of his parents. He could not empathize with this kind of thing, so he could only listen to it as a story.
But he was still curious, is parental love really so magical, great and selfless?
By the time he and Chu Lingxiao sat down, Rolnis seemed to have organized his words.
"I first saw them in a tavern in a town near the Mooring Cross Fields. They were dressed in fancy clothes and looked like wealthy people, so I had some bad thoughts."
"Did you steal from them?"
Rolness shook his head helplessly.
"I tried to steal it, but I didn't succeed. To be honest, you and your father are quite similar in this respect. Both are very powerful. It's just that your father was able to suppress me purely by relying on his cultivation, while you... almost did."
Gu Qingze was somewhat speechless. Back then, Rolness was probably only at the Qi training stage. How could he be the same as now? He didn't even look at how old he was and how old he was.
However, he did not interrupt, but calmed down and continued to listen.
"Your father kicked me to the ground and stepped on my back. I struggled desperately, but was powerless. I was about to let them do whatever they wanted. But then I heard the girl next to me pleading for me. I looked up and took a good look at her face for the first time."
"Haven't you looked carefully at the restaurant before?"
Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but ask. He didn't understand. Isn't the first thing people look at when they see someone?
"At that time, I was only focused on looking at the valuables on them. Who would have cared enough to look at their faces?"
"What does my mother look like?"
Gu Qingze didn't care about what they had just discussed. He had never seen the original owner's mother, and the original owner didn't have any memory of her. What was even more puzzling was that there was not even a portrait or photo stone of her in the house, so he was quite curious about what the original owner's mother looked like.
"She was very pretty. She had a ponytail on her head, big eyes, and a bright blue pupil. Most importantly, her voice was very pleasant when she pleaded for me."
Gu Qingze was speechless. It was just that he hadn't looked at it carefully at all, but it was good to give a general idea.
"Your father released me after hearing the girl's plea. After a brief discussion, they nominated me as their guide. They weren't familiar with the area, but they were looking for something, and I was a local, so I fit the bill. As long as I completed the mission, they would release me."
Rolness paused for a moment and then continued.
"It was only then that I learned their names. Your father's name is Gu Hongjing, and your mother's name is Lin Qingyue. They came here looking for the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul Fruit. They heard there was one in this wilderness, so they came to try it."
"What is this thing? Why are they looking for it?"
Gu Qingze thought about it for a while. He didn’t seem to have seen this thing in the book before. It seemed to be very precious.
"Ice Soul Fruit is a very precious spiritual medicine, and even rarer than ten thousand years old. Once found, it must be picked using a special method; you can't just touch it with your bare hands. Furthermore, once picked, the fruit will secrete a fragrance that will attract nearby spiritual beasts to fight for it, so it's also very dangerous."
