Chapter 1340 The Returnee's Notes 414
"If the established outcome cannot be changed, do we still need to intervene?"
Upon hearing Xie Ning's question, Sect Master Fang simply closed his eyes and said, "You're a child who follows your heart, aren't you?"
Even if she can't change it, Xie Ning will still try, even if the result is the same, what about the process?
Xie Ning chuckled and pushed Sect Leader Fang forward. "From what we can see, the thing behind this doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us. It seems to just want us to see what happened in the past, but the story is truly quite bitter."
"By the way, what reason did Auntie give to persuade the prefect to come to the Song residence?" If it weren't for the prefect's presence, Lord Song wouldn't have given in so quickly.
"This place is by the river, and we worship the river god. I only say that there is a celestial child reincarnated in the Song family. If we teach that celestial child well, we can ensure that this place has good weather and abundant harvests."
This was a great temptation, and with her subtle use of magic, the other party quickly believed her.
"So that's how it is."
Time indeed flew by. When the two returned to the Song residence, the baby who had been in swaddling clothes was already crawling. Upon seeing the two return, the baby staggered over to them.
"Master~"
The child ran to the sect leader's feet and was about to climb up when Xie Ning picked him up. "Why did you come out, Third Miss?"
She knew the story: because the first two children had died, this child was directly the third in line and didn't have a name. Everyone called her Third Sister or Third Daughter.
"Aunt Qingmiao." The child was very clingy, hugging Xie Ning's neck and rubbing against her, seemingly very fond of Xie Ning's scent.
Xie Ning and Sect Leader Fang exchanged a glance. "Why don't you give the Third Miss a name, Immortal?"
Master Fang nodded and then approached Madam Song to discuss the matter.
"It would be wonderful if an immortal could name my son. I wonder what name the immortal would like to give him?"
"A thousand layers of snow bloom in the clear pond at night, and the lotus heart receives ten thousand points of light. Let us call it Lotus."
Xie Ning pursed her lips and smiled. The third girl in the book didn't have a name, or rather, many of the women in the book didn't have names.
"Lotus, lotus, my lotus, my mother's lotus..."
Madam Song held the child, and her eyes suddenly reddened. Perhaps she was calling for more than just Lianhua.
She hasn't gotten pregnant in the past few years. It's not that she can't, but that she doesn't want to. She's seen through her husband, and she doesn't want to... she can't bear to think about having another daughter and experiencing loss again... she'd go crazy. She's human, she has emotions and desires, and she'd feel pain.
My body aches, and my heart aches.
The Song family still met that fate, with a male heir being adopted from the clan.
Because of this incident, the couple could no longer even maintain a respectful relationship.
Madam Song did not feel uncomfortable; in fact, she felt relieved and then focused more of her energy on her three remaining daughters.
She asks for nothing more than that her three children can live out their lives peacefully and smoothly.
She was extremely grateful to the immortal and Qingmiao, because they were her and her child's benefactors.
Xie Ning secretly observed Madam Song, and she felt that this was true.
After that, things returned to normal. After Sect Master Fang said that the flow of time inside wouldn't affect the outside world, Xie Ning felt at ease and stayed there. He even studied with the boy under Sect Master Fang's guidance.
She already possessed considerable skill, and under Master Fang's tutelage, she reached an even higher level.
"If your master saw you like this, he would be very happy." Sect Master Fang was quite surprised by Xie Ning's progress; his talent was truly remarkable.
Xie Ning sat on the steps to the side, watching the little girl practice her sword below.
"I hope my master can praise me to my face."
Yes, it will.
