Chapter 373: Jiang Xun
Hua Hua recalled that familiar face in her mind and said softly, "Your mother's name is Jiang Xun."
Jiang Xun?
Ye Fei frowned, trying hard to think about the name. After confirming that she had never heard of it before, she asked, "Thirteen years ago, why did Mother leave me alone in the Ye family? And why hasn't she come back to see me all these years?"
Hua Hua stared at her for a while, then she lowered her eyes and replied in a flat tone, "She has her reasons."
Ye Fei's eyes widened, and she immediately asked, "What's your predicament?"
"She was being hunted down by her enemies, and in order to protect you, she had no choice but to place you in the Ye family."
Ye Fei was slightly taken aback. Her mother had left her in the Ye family because she was being hunted down, and hadn't been able to come back to see her all these years.
Seeing the somewhat gloomy expression on her face, Hua Hua raised her emerald eyes to look at the night sky, and a smile curved her lips: "Don't worry, your mother is very powerful."
"Huahua, can you tell me what kind of person my mother is?" Ye Fei had absolutely no memory or impression of her biological mother.
"Your mother was a very gentle person." Mentioning Jiang Xun, Hua Hua's eyes softened considerably. "Because she possessed a wood spirit root, she was very close to nature and deeply loved by countless plants. Later, to save all living beings, she became an alchemist. Despite being born into wealth, she traveled to various countries, hiding her identity as a wandering doctor, treating mostly the powerless and impoverished..."
Ye Fei was deeply moved, never expecting that her mother was also an alchemist.
"It's probably because she has a very gentle personality, and coupled with her special status, her enemies are relentlessly pursuing her."
At this point, a strong killing intent rose in Hua Hua's eyes.
Ye Fei frowned: "Special identity? What other identity does my mother have?"
Hua Hua shook her head, looking at Ye Fei with a solemn expression: "Master, although you are indeed exceptionally talented among the younger generation, your current strength is insufficient to support you in understanding the deeper aspects of your mother's past."
Ye Fei pursed her lips and remained silent for a few seconds before sighing softly, "My grandfather once said something similar to me."
"Grandpa?" Upon hearing this word, Hua Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Ye Rui, the former head of the Ye family?"
Ye Fei asked in surprise, "Hua Hua, how do you know Grandpa?"
Hua Hua snorted coldly, a hint of frost rising on her delicate face: "Ye Rui is a coward, I will always remember his face."
Ye Fei: "..."
Judging from Hua Hua's expression and tone, she seemed to be very dissatisfied with the old man, or even hate him.
She was eager to know the reason behind this, but she knew very well that Hua Hua would never tell her these things until her cultivation level reached a certain point.
Perhaps she wanted to protect her best friend's only daughter?
"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Ye Fei pulled open her collar, took off the ring hanging around her neck, and handed it to Hua Hua: "This ring was given to me by my mother, and I've worn it since I was born."
Hua Hua took the ring, gently stroking it with her fingertips, the coldness on her face fading slightly: "Yes, she put this ring on your finger herself."
“I only found out later that there was a drop of blood in this ring.” Ye Fei observed Hua Hua’s expression and continued, “And this drop of blood came from the Demon Lord Li Yuan, the ruler of the Demon Realm… What is the relationship between my mother and Li Yuan?”
Hua Hua glanced at Ye Fei, then lowered her eyes, concealing the fleeting glint of surprise in them: "Your mother once saved the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm."
