"Impersonation?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in their eyes, and Lu Chen, without mincing words, asked directly, "Why are you impersonating your daughter? What's in it for you?"
Miaoyuan Zhenren quickly regained her composure. Seeing that the two were willing to talk to her, a trace of her superior demeanor returned to her face. This expression, however, made Lu Chen feel extremely disgusted and repulsed.
Her pretentious attitude makes you want to beat her up again.
However, Lu Chen held back.
"If you are really Qingqing, you should also know that your mother, as a princess of the royal family, although I am not a top genius in cultivation, I know a lot of the many cultivation manuals that the Cangyun Empire once collected. Even learning just one or two of them would benefit me for life."
"Those people impersonated Qingqing and came to recognize me. Their purpose was to obtain some powerful martial arts techniques, secrets held by the royal family, and status from me."
Master Miaoji sighed deeply, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before looking up at the sky. He said helplessly, "I hid in this White Cloud Temple just to find some peace and quiet and not want to be disturbed by the world. But I never expected that those people would stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
Master Miaoyuan turned to look at Nie Qing and said, "In the end, it's all my fault. My daughter and I haven't seen each other for too many years, which gave them the opportunity to impersonate me. Over the years, I have been deeply remorseful. I once thought about leaving here and going to Qinglong City to find you, but I didn't want to see that person again."
These words greatly puzzled Lu Chen. He felt something was wrong. They had clearly introduced themselves before, but Master Miaoyuan had attacked without any questioning.
Even though she and Nie Qing were imposters, she didn't question them at all. Instead, she attacked Nie Qing directly, which was completely unlike what a mother should do.
"No, he's lying." Lu Chen knew perfectly well that this Master Miaoyuan was suspicious.
However, Nie Qing didn't think that way. When she heard her mother finally acknowledge her, tears streamed down her face.
Regardless of what others thought, Nie Qing was willing to believe that what Master Miaoyuan said was true.
She couldn't believe that her own mother would harm her. She thought her mother must have either failed to recognize her or misunderstood her as an imposter.
However, none of that matters now.
"My daughter, we can finally be together again. No matter what happens, I will never let you leave my side again." Miaoyuan Zhenren was deeply moved, her eyes welling up with tears. She tremblingly reached out her hand, wanting to stroke Nie Qing's face, but hesitated, seemingly feeling very guilty, and a look of remorse appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Nie Qing stepped forward, took Miaoyuan Zhenren's hand, pressed it against his face, and then the two embraced deeply, weeping bitterly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was utterly impressed by the acting skills of this Master Miaoyuan.
Just a moment ago they were fighting and killing, and now they can stage such a wonderful scene of mother and daughter reuniting. The speed at which they changed their tune is just too fast.
"You wouldn't actually believe that, would you?" Lu Chen felt a headache coming on because Nie Qing was too naive.
Lu Chen himself had no feelings for this Master Miaoyuan, and even found him quite ridiculous, but Nie Qing was different.
Nie Qing was sent to Qinglong City at a young age and only had time to spend with her mother during her childhood, but those memories have long since faded away.
In Qinglong City, Nie Qing was not valued and was not allowed to leave the city. Over the years, the person she missed the most was her mother.
But we only met once when I was eighteen.
After leaving Qinglong City and arriving in the capital, Nie Qing had no intention of returning. Her original wish was to stay in the capital with her mother.
What I didn't expect was that our first meeting was very unpleasant.
At this moment, Nie Qing thought to herself, "Thank goodness it was just a misunderstanding."
Master Miaoyuan and Nie Qing and her daughter poured out their hearts to each other, becoming very affectionate. In the end, the two of them stopped crying and started laughing, seemingly having completely dissolved the barrier between them.
The two were so close, it was as if they had never been apart, and they were even closer than before.
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but want to remind Nie Qing that this girl should be more careful.
However, when Lu Chen saw the expression on Nie Qing's face, he swallowed his words.
At this point, saying anything is pointless.
Lu Chen knew that there must be something wrong with Master Miaoyuan's change in attitude, but he didn't know exactly what the problem was.
"Qingqing, you'll stay here with your mother from now on. I really don't want you to be all alone and miserable anymore after you've been away for so long." Master Miaoyuan's words were so touching that she almost shed tears herself.
Nie Qing hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
Nie Qing readily agreed to the request, as she had come here specifically to be with her mother.
After saying that, Master Miaoyuan took Nie Qing's hand, turned around and walked towards the gate of Baiyun Temple. From beginning to end, she did not look at Lu Chen again.
But how could Ye Qing forget Lu Chen, who had always been by her side and had gone through all of this with her?
She quickly turned around and asked, "What about Lu Chen? What will happen to him?"
Miao Yuan Zhenren smiled, but it was a very forced smile. Facing Lu Chen, she couldn't even put on a good act. After all, she had just been severely humiliated by this kid. The fact that she didn't continue to attack on the spot was already a great act of restraint.
