213 Lin Zhou: Lin Jians Reaction (2/2)

Xiao Fang was taken aback. ”Do you think that's possible? Does she even still alive?”

Yao Ling nodded. ”There's a possibility because we find a lead. However, whether she's alive or not... we are not too sure ourselves.”

”This... this Tao Gu Gu?” Xiao Fang asked. She had heard Tao Gu Gu's story and her heart ached for the Ce Fei. She couldn't believe how cruel the Emperor was. He was actually a beast! She came in contact with him a few times and she found him as an admirable character. Who knew that he was actually a lunatic that hid behind his facade? She shuddered at the thought about how her father was loyal to that kind of man!

Yao Ling nodded. ”Yes, this Tao Gu Gu...”

Xiao Fang was surprised at first and there was also a hint of anger in her heart, after all, she felt that the had lied to them. However, she understood their thought, they didn't know whether they could trust her or not --- she was a Han woman and in a good relationship with Han Xiang. If it wasn't because they spent a few days together and helped each other, she didn't think they would tell her. Naturally, she understood that by telling her this fact, they tretaed her as one of their own. Somehow, it slightly appeased her anger.

What made her feel calmer was the clarity in their eyes. They had no malicious intent or a hint of deceiving in them. Xiao Fang could only nod, ”I understand.”

The trio was quite surprised by her calmness. Judging from her personalities, they expected her to throw a tantrum and yell at them. Lin Jian calmly asked her, ”That's it?”

Xiao Fang raised one of her eyebrows. ”What do you expect me to do?”

The trio grinned sheepishly. ”We thought that you will get angry because we are covering this up from you. However, we indeed sincerely want to help you...” Yao Ling weakly said.

Xiao Fang rolled her eyes. She wasn't that childish! What was the use of throwing a tantrum at this moment? Xiao Fang merely answered, ”I know... I can see that...”

The trio sighed in relief when they knew that Xiao Fang didn't get angry at them. ”Then... can we continue talking about this matter?” Yao Ying asked.

The other three nodded in agreement at the same time.

”So, Tao Gu Gu also doesn't know where my mother is?” Lin Jian asked.

Yao Ling answered, ”Yes, she doesn't know. But at least, you can trace it back to the medicine valley. That was the last time Tao Gu Gu saw your mother.”

Lin Jian nodded in understanding and knew what he should do next. ”Then, what about Han Xiang? Is she the real deal?” Lin Jian asked once more.

Yao Ling shook her head. The other three said at the same time, ”She's... really a fake?”

Yao Ling was dumbfounded. She merely shook her head, so what kind of reaction was this? She planned to say that she didn't know, but the others misunderstood her gesture. ”What?! That's not what I mean!” Yao Ling's eyes widened in surprise.

The trio looked at her and asked in unison, ”Then, what do you mean?”
