Li Qingluo quickly explained, "Grandmother, this Master Jingchuan saved Luo'er and Miss Pan today."
"However, due to his health, he was unable to return to the dungeon with the others."
"Luo'er has received this young master's kindness and promised to come and rescue him personally, so I was so anxious all the way here just now."
"Fortunately, Master Jingchuan is fine."
Master Jingchuan: "Miss, you are too polite. When I saved you, you also saved me. This favor has been repaid twice. Please don't worry about such a trivial matter anymore."
Mrs. Pei was very grateful to Master Jingchuan.
"Where does this young master live? Why don't you let us take you back to the city? Only then can I rest in peace."
Master Jingchuan: "Old Madam and Miss, please do not worry about me. My servants should be anxiously looking for me right now. They will find me here soon."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Pei didn't force him.
He just said, "In that case, we'll take our leave."
Madam Pei took Li Qingluo away. Li Qingluo looked back at Master Jingchuan and nodded with a smile.
Then the grandparents and grandchildren left the Pei family cemetery with a group of maids.
After they were completely far away, a rustling sound came from the bushes by the river, and then several figures crawled out and ran towards them.
"Young Master—"
"Subordinates, please come and see the young master."
"Young Master, please hold the hot water bottle quickly. Drink some of the hot soup first. We will be back soon!"
"Yes, young master, you've suffered greatly today. Sitting in that cold tunnel for so long, I hope you don't develop any underlying illness!"
"It's all our fault. We were useless and it was too late to rescue the young master from the hidden river. That's why we were delayed for so long."
Master Jingchuan: "I don't blame you. I was afraid that someone would not leave with you. And I was determined to wait for someone to come back."
"Cough, cough cough..."
A group of people gathered around to serve him in an instant, bringing him hot soup, heating the stove, and wrapping Master Jingchuan up even more tightly.
Master Jingchuan also let them toss and turn until he saw another figure coming up ahead, then he called out, "Mother."
All the subordinates turned around and knelt down again: "Greetings, Master Xiu!"
The person who came was Zheng Wanxiu, one of the incense masters of the Lotus Sect and the boss of dozens of ironware shops in the world.
Zheng Wanxiu waved her hand, and all her subordinates retreated again.
She walked over to Master Jingchuan and sighed when she saw his expression: "Xiaochuan, I heard that you saw her?"
Jingchuan smiled and nodded slowly: "Yes, mother. Son, I also met my grandmother."
"I didn't expect that my grandmother was as heroic as the rumors said. She is indeed the only female general in Daliang's history."
Zheng Wanxiu: "You! Xiaochuan, do you really want to return to the Li family and recognize your ancestral roots?"
"A few months ago, you knew she was a member of the Li family, but you still tried to avoid her. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"What do you mean by paying attention to her all the time?"
"Do you really care so much about this sister who you clearly have no feelings for and don't even know?"
"Don't forget, you are just her half-brother!"
"Also, if it hadn't been her biological mother, my mother and I wouldn't have suffered so much, and your twin sister, who was born to the same mother, wouldn't have been killed by that vicious woman at the age of five!"
"Xiaochuan, what I lost...is not just your sister's child..."
"If your wet nurse hadn't been alert, you would have been drowned in the lake at the General's Mansion."
"It was the dead of winter. By the time we pulled you out, your face was already blue and you were dead."
"If it weren't for God's mercy, mother wouldn't have waited until you could breathe again and come back to life. To protect you, mother sent you out of the house and raised you in seclusion."
"Unfortunately, this also left you with a chronic illness. You've been soaking in medicinal soup since childhood."
"Even so, your body is very different from that of an average person. Autumn and winter are even more difficult to endure. You can only stay in the room with the heating on, not daring to leave. If you catch a cold, you will almost die many times."
"Year after year, do you know how my mother got through this?"
Jingchuan stepped forward and hugged his mother.
"Mother, I know you're suffering. I also know you hate the Li family, the Naqu family, and even more so, your father."
"Six years ago, you were finally able to escape from the Li family while being sent to Zhuangzi. After reuniting with your uncle and son, you have been wandering the world of martial arts ever since, becoming a woman of the martial arts world."
"You've been out in the world, fighting your way into a new world, brandishing swords and guns all day long with a group of men, even joining the Lotus Sect, all because you wanted to one day avenge your maternal grandfather's family with your uncle."
"The Lotus Cult wants to overthrow the Daliang Dynasty."
"You will follow suit and cause disaster, murder, chaos and strife."
"If the Lotus Cult wants to kill any official, you can assassinate him in the blink of an eye and take his head."
"The Lotus Sect chants the slogan 'Don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't lie, don't drink alcohol,' but is the Lotus Sect today still the same Lotus Sect that my mother believed in?"
"Murder, arson, burning, looting, lying, deceiving, what have you not done?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Zheng Wanxiu's face.
She pushed her son away.
"Why are you saying all this?! If you want to accomplish great things, how can you do it without shedding blood and speaking nonsense?"
“All the sacrifices and means today are for the brightness of tomorrow.”
"A Niang has never regretted joining the Lotus Sect!"
"Otherwise, your uncle and I wouldn't be here today, let alone avenging our Zheng family in the future!"
"Mother was telling you about Li Qingluo, but you're here talking to me about this. What do you mean?"
"Xiaochuan, do you also want to leave A Niang and your uncle?"
"Everything we do is for you!"
Master Jingchuan laughed bitterly.
"Mother, is that so?"
"So, you investigated Luo'er's background and secretly wrote to Madam Pei to let her know the truth before sending people to the mountains to bring Luo'er back, right?"
