As soon as the words left his mouth, Quan Jinghuai regretted it, realizing he had asked an unnecessary question.
If she said she was going to Jiaozhou, then there must be a reason why she absolutely had to go.
It should be related to the information obtained from Duobaoge.
But since I've already asked, it wouldn't be appropriate to tell her again if it's inconvenient, wouldn't that put her in a difficult position?
“I’ve found some clues about Tianxuan, but I can’t be sure if they’re true. Anyway, I still want to go and see for myself and find out.” Hong Xiaoduo said, while watching the other person’s reaction.
Sure enough, Quan Jinghuai was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "Then we must go."
"Well, about this matter..." Hong Xiaoduo wanted to give some instructions.
Before she could finish speaking, Quan Jinghuai interrupted her: "Don't worry, I know that, I won't let it slip."
This concerns Tianxuan's background, which is a good thing, but without personally verifying it, it's impossible to tell the child now. Telling Tianxuan first gave him hope and expectation, but when the verification revealed otherwise, he was disappointed.
Although Quan Jinghuai knew that even if Tianxuan found a home, he would still be reluctant to leave Hong Xiaoduo and everyone else, since he had a home and family, he naturally wanted to stay with them.
“Then let’s set off first thing tomorrow morning,” Hong Xiaoduo said.
Quan Jinghuai nodded upon hearing this. Regardless of the final outcome, at least this time she didn't say she was going to Jiaozhou to investigate on her own, but rather that everyone would go together.
Quan Jinghuai's feelings were complicated at this moment. Although he was reluctant to part with his second disciple, he also hoped that this trip to Jiaozhou would have a good outcome.
Tianxuan has a home and family, which is something to be happy about.
As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." Even if they can no longer learn martial arts from him, as long as they are willing and do not do anything bad in the future, they will always be Quan Jinghuai's disciples.
It was at this moment that Quan Jinghuai realized why Hong Xiaoduo had lingered a little longer beside Tianxuan when she checked on the children practicing calligraphy after returning from outside.
However, it seems she spent quite a bit of time with that kid Tianquan back then!
That day, Shu led his younger siblings through half an hour of math problems. After the afternoon study session, he saw Hong Xiaoduo holding a map and looking at it intently on the table, knowing that she was thinking about the route they would take next.
"Mother, have we changed direction?" Yuheng asked blurtly when he saw the spot Hong Xiaoduo was pointing to.
After hearing Yuheng's words, the other children also looked down.
“Yes, let’s go here first,” Hong Xiaoduo said, looking up and smiling at them.
Tianji leaned closer and took a closer look: "Jiaozhou."
"Where is Jiaozhou? Is it a big place? What's good to eat there?" Yao Guang chattered as she squeezed next to Hong Xiaoduo, craning her neck to look at the map.
Tianji teased, "You little glutton, all you ever do is eat."
Yao Guang retorted, hands on her hips, "Yeah, I'm such a glutton, and you're all not gluttonous at all. But when has Mother ever bought any more delicious food than me?"
"You?" Tianji wanted to refute, but couldn't speak, because it was indeed the case.
The children from Tian Shu were all laughing and watching the commotion. Hong Xiaoduo reached out and picked up Yao Guang, just about to join in and tease her, when she suddenly noticed A Ping standing at the back with an unusual expression...
