Chapter 67: The Pearl Curtain Rolls Up and the Jade Tower Is Empty
"Bai Wuchang slaughtered your entire family, yet you still work for him. Could it be..."
"That's right," Xinyi stood up and walked over to Lingxiang and sat down, "My mother is in his hands."
Lingxiang pinched her chin and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure your mother is still alive?"
"What do you mean?" Xinyi's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard that.
"Nothing special. From what I know, the son of the demon clan was able to seize the throne thanks to the tricks of Bai Wuchang. He has a nickname, the White-Faced Shura, and never does anything superfluous. He spared your life back then, and I think he had planned for this day. That's why I'm curious..." Lingxiang hesitated, "How long has it been since you last saw your mother?"
When Xinyi heard Lingxiang's question, he was shocked: Yes, he has been working for Bai Wuchang since he was a child, but he has not seen his mother for a long time.
Seeing him lost in thought, Lingxiang hurriedly said, "I'm not saying your mother is no longer alive, but if she falls into his hands, I'm sure..."
Xinyi immediately stood up and looked at Lingxiang.
"Impossible! My mother and I were captured together, and we were only separated later!"
"Don't panic," Lingxiang soothed her. "Now you can only do whatever he tells you to do. But you have to be careful about everything."
Hearing her say this, Xinyi couldn't help but ask, "Nothing I'm doing right now will benefit you or the Yuanqing Sect. Are you so fearless?"
"Afraid?" Lingxiang laughed, "Of course I'd be afraid, but now that it's happening, there's no point in being afraid. Who made Maidong..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Come to think of it, you seem to recognize Maidong."
"She..." Xinyi said hesitantly, "She should be the daughter of my mother's younger sister. We have been engaged since we were young..."
"What?" Lingxiang asked in surprise, "How could it be?"
"There's a wheat ear tattoo on her right arm. It was originally a burn..."
Lingxiang recalled that when she was a child, she took a bath with Maidong and there seemed to be a pattern on her right arm.
"I originally thought that she was also killed that year. My uncle worked for my father at the time, and my aunt often lived in my house. Later, I read the official notice and saw the number of victims, so I thought so..." Xinyi explained.
"You mean she was at your house?" Lingxiang thought for a moment. "That's not right. I remember Senior Brother Fuyin found her in Lincheng, which is more than a mile and a half away from Youlu. How could that be possible?"
The two were puzzled by this matter when the door suddenly opened.
I saw Long Qi standing outside the door with red eyes, staring at Lingxiang for a long time.
Lingxiang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You... heard everything?"
Long Qi then hurried forward, pulling Lingxiang with him and walking out. He didn't let go of her hand until they were out of the courtyard, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Lingxiang couldn't figure out what he was thinking at this moment. Just as she was thinking about how to speak, she heard Long Qi ask in a muffled voice:
"Are you the daughter of Fairy Tumi?"
Lingxiang thought that since he asked this, he must have heard everything, so there was no need to hide it.
"Yes, Fairy Tumi is my mother."
After hearing this, Long Qi seemed to tremble, and spoke after a long time:
"I was very confused. You were at the third level of foundation building, and I only knew a little bit of martial arts at that time. How could you let me live in Youran Residence so easily? It turns out you already knew who I was."
"Of course not. The reason I let you live in Youranju is because my house is full of good things, and it's inconvenient to kick you out. Besides, I really don't know how to fight. As for who you are..."
Lingxiang hesitated whether to tell Long Qi, but Long Qi tensed up after hearing this.
"Although I knew you followed me for a purpose, I didn't know it at first. It was only when I saw the ancient jade on you that I realized it."
After hearing this, Long Qi relaxed - it turned out that she didn't mean to keep him.
"Later, I used some tricks to find out about this past event. I thought, after all, it was caused by the Life-Extending Pill and involved my mother, so I should make some amends..."
Lingxiang was speaking when Long Qi suddenly turned around and hugged her.
How can she say she wants to make amends? It turns out that she has always wanted to make amends for herself, but the family annihilation was not her fault, so how can she make amends? She can't think like this!
Lingxiang was shocked by Long Qi's action and was unable to recover for a while. After she turned around, she tried to push him away with all her strength, but she couldn't move him away.
"What are you doing!" Lingxiang said sternly, "I am your master!"
Long Qi let go of Lingxiang, but grabbed her shoulders with both hands, bent over and looked at Lingxiang with red eyes.
"I don't want you to be my master!"
Lingxiang was stunned by Long Qi's low roar. She had never seen him like this before. After a while, she blushed and said:
"Your habit is not good, isn't it... At my age, I can't be your mother..."
"Me!" Long Qi was choked by her words and didn't know how to start for a while, so he simply lowered his head and was about to kiss Lingxiang.
However, at this moment, there was a "puff" sound, and Lingxiang suddenly disappeared without a trace, and where Lingxiang was standing, there stood a little wooden man.
…
As soon as the eternal lamp went out, Lingxiang woke up. When Maidong saw her stand up, he hurried forward to ask Xinyi what to say, but she seemed to have not yet come back to her soul.
She couldn't understand why a healthy person insisted on recognizing someone as her mother. Although she was concerned about her as a mother, she couldn't be so reckless!
Even if you are a teacher for a day and a mother for life, you can't really think of yourself as a mother. She has never been a mother before, so how can she have any experience?
"I'm asking you a question! How come you become a fool?" Maidong said as he touched Lingxiang's forehead.
Lingxiang then slapped Maidong's hand away.
"I'm fine." Then, remembering what Xinyi had said, he hurriedly asked, "Sixth Senior Brother picked you up in Lincheng, right?"
Maidong was puzzled when he heard this: Could it be that Xinyi asked about this?
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember where we were before?" Lingxiang pushed Maidong away and asked.
"I've always been in Lincheng. I can't remember exactly."
"Then can you still remember what happened before your master picked you up?"
Maidong thought about it and shook his head. He didn't remember anything except that he stole someone's penis and was chased and beaten.
This is strange. Lingxiang pinched her chin and thought: How did she get to Lincheng?
But as he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of what Long Qi said, so he asked Mai Dong:
"Tell me, if someone wants to recognize you as their mother, will you agree or not?"
Maidong was shocked when he heard this!
What? Could it be that Xinyi wants to acknowledge her as her mother?!
"No! Absolutely not!"
What a joke! With her beauty and youthful appearance, she's already going to be a mother without even having a husband?!
What on earth did this damn girl do during her trip that made Xinyi want to acknowledge her as her mother?!
