Chapter 29 The Sisters, the Divine Doctors' words surprised everyone present...
The goddess doctor's words surprised everyone present. Only Wu Chen, looking at the goddess doctor, suddenly understood, but then many new questions arose.
Lu Qing was completely puzzled. She looked at the goddess doctor and asked, "Aunt? Could it be that we are sisters?"
The female doctor walked up to her, smiled gently, and took her hand.
A strange sense of familiarity welled up from the bottom of Lu Qing's heart, so warm that she wanted to fall asleep instantly.
The goddess doctor smiled, but her eyes were a little moist. She reached out and stroked Lu Qing's hair. "It's so good to see you safe and sound."
Although Lu Qing was wary, the gentle demeanor of the goddess doctor made her feel an irresistible urge to throw herself into her arms. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Wu Chen, who calmly nodded at her.
Lu Qing finally let down her guard and was led into the manor by the goddess doctor.
“My name is Qi Wu. That is my husband, Luo Yuan. That is my son, Luo Sen. What is your name?” Qi Wu led Lu Qing to a pavilion in the herb garden, leaving Wu Chen to be entertained by her husband, Luo Yuan.
"My name is Lu Qing." Lu Qing accepted the cup of herbal tea that Qi Wu handed her. The tea was refreshing and fragrant, quite pleasant. But Lu Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Are you really my sister?"
Qi Wu sized her up. "You... know nothing at all?"
Lu Qing shook her head. "The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Wu Chen. He..." Lu Qing remembered the words Wu Chen had used to deceive her, and suddenly became reluctant to speak. "He has never told me what illness I have, or why I have forgotten everything about my past."
Qi Wu suddenly laughed out loud, looking at Lu Qing with a mischievous grin. "I'm afraid I didn't tell you, did I?" She blinked. "Our divine servant looks like a gentleman, but..." Qi Wu left his sentence unfinished, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Lu Qing instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, she could only weakly add, "He is still capable of admitting his mistakes and correcting them."
Qi Wu laughed again. "Alright. Considering he brought you here safely, I won't hold it against him."
"Sent here?" Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean? He just sent me back? What exactly is our relationship?"
Qi Wu smiled and reached out her hand, approaching a nearby herb that had already borne fruit. The fruit fell naturally into her palm. Then, in the blink of an eye, the shell of the fruit cracked open, and two tender green buds tremblingly emerged.
Lu Qing stared blankly, "What is this?"
"This is one of our clan's special talents. You should have been in the human world for some time now. I wonder if you've heard the legend of the Spirit Fruit?"
"I've heard of it. Isn't it the divine fruit that the priest went through so much trouble to obtain? It's said that eating it allows you to communicate with gods and ghosts. The storytellers exaggerate it to be very mysterious, but I don't really believe it."
Qi Wu's smile gradually disappeared, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "This may be a beautiful story in the human world, but for our spirit-communicating race, it is a disaster."
“Us?! The Spirit Clan?” Lu Qing’s eyes widened. “You mean, me, you, and…” Lu Qing suddenly remembered the huge crimson tree on the top of Tan Family Village, and the vibrant green Jade Pool in Sword Casting Manor. The two of them were inexplicably kind and friendly to her, and her heart sank little by little. “We are the legendary Spirit Fruit?”
Qi Wu nodded and sighed, "Yes, we are the legendary spiritual fruit that can cure all diseases, bring the dead back to life, and communicate with ghosts and gods."
If she hadn't experienced the events at Tan Family Village and Sword Casting Manor, Lu Qing might have been interested in acknowledging Qi Wu as a relative. However, thinking about those two tragedies, she felt a chill run down her spine, and she immediately lost all goodwill towards Zou Yubo and that so-called Divine Palace.
Qi Wu explained in a low voice, “Our clan is indeed formed from spiritual energy. Humans are born from the womb, and we are also born from the womb, but we are just wooden wombs growing on the spiritual wood. The so-called spiritual fruit is our form before we were born. But ever since Zou Yubo swallowed a spiritual fruit and flaunted it in the world, our clan has never had a peaceful day.”
Lu Qing felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly remembered how she felt when she first opened her eyes and saw Wu Chen. A thought suddenly popped into her mind: So, I wasn't imagining things...
She turned her head away, a bittersweet feeling rising from her chest to her nose.
Lu Qing almost burst into tears.
"Why..." She paused, struggling to suppress her emotions, "Why was it Wu Chen who brought me back?"
Qi Wu glanced at Wu Chen in the distance.
Although he was talking to Luo Yuan, his gaze remained fixed on this direction.
Qi Wu smiled slightly, "Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is human nature. Ambition and desire are universal. However, not everyone can make wise choices among advantages and desires. This divine servant is still worth looking forward to. As it turns out, I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Lu Qing was initially a little sad, but Qi Wu's words made her feel a bit better, but ultimately, her feelings were still somewhat complicated.
Qi Wu patted her head. "Although I am much older than you, we are born of the same tree and are still sisters of the same clan. This place is your home. Stay here, don't be shy, take your time."
Perhaps it was her nature, but Lu Qing could sense Qi Wu's sincerity. She nodded, "Sister."
Qi Wu gently pulled her into his arms.
Watching all this from afar, Wu Chen's heart sank slightly. The refreshing medicinal tea in his mouth seemed to lose its flavor.
