Chapter 1718: Visiting the witchcraft religion (1)
In the next second, he discarded the insignificant emotions and the information that Wei Yuan had given him flashed through his mind.
Her birth mother was Ji baiqing, the hidden Dragon City master’s sister. She was a dual cultivator, a level eight Qi cultivating stage and a level Seven Qi devouring stage. Twenty-one years ago, after returning to the hidden Dragon City from the capital, she had been imprisoned and had not left her place.
He took a deep breath, stepped into the yard, and knocked on the tightly shut door.
The room was silent for a moment before a gentle female voice that was suppressing her excitement and mixed with a little nervousness could be heard.
“Come, come in …”
For so many days, no one had come to visit. She could guess who it was.
Xu Qi ‘an pushed the door open and entered. The first thing he saw was a wall with an ink painting hanging on it. There were high stands on both sides of the painting, and on the stand were two pots of evergreen potted plants.
On the left was a four-fold screen, and behind the screen was a bath bucket.
A bead curtain hung down on the right side, and behind the curtain was a round table and a bed. A woman in a plain dress sat at the Round Table, and the sandalwood fragrance rose in spirals.
Her face was round and had an egg-shaped face that was both happy and sad. Her eyebrows were very delicate, but there was a faint sorrow condensed in them. Her lips were full, and her hair was tied up high.
She wasn’t young, but her beauty didn’t diminish in the slightest. It could be seen that she was a rare high-quality beauty when she was young.
If I were to inherit her looks, I wouldn’t need the evolution Pearl to improve my genes … When Xu Qi ‘an looked at her through the bead curtain, the woman behind the curtain was also looking at him. Her eyes were full of tears, and she said softly, ”
“Ningyan?”
This call of “Ning Yan” was so natural and smooth, as if he had practiced it countless times in private.
………. Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a while, but he still couldn’t say the word ” mother, ” so he replied with an emotionless ” mm.
Ji baiqing was a little disappointed, but she immediately said with hope, ”
“Come to the table and talk.”
“Alright!” Xu Qi ‘an lifted the curtain and sat down at the table.
During this process, the woman kept looking at him, from his face to his chest, from his chest to his legs, up and down, as if she was trying to make up for all the attention she had missed in the past 21 years.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she read, she could never make up for the missing 21 years.
The atmosphere was inevitably a little stiff when the two people who should have been the closest but also the most unfamiliar were sitting together.
The mother and son sat for a moment before Ji baiqing sighed and broke the silence, ”
when I gave birth to you, you were still an infant. In the blink of an eye, twenty-one years have passed, and you’ve already grown so big.
There was both joy and regret in her eyes. In this era where the eldest son was valued, the feelings that normal parents placed on their first child could not be compared to the feelings that the later children had.
Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and said, ”
“Since you fled to the capital, why did you return to the hidden Dragon City?”
Ji baiqing’s eyes dimmed and she said in a low voice, ”
“Xu Pingfeng has stolen half of Da Feng’s National fate. You only need to kill you to return the National fate to Da Feng. I was afraid that the supervisor would find out my identity, so I didn’t dare to stay any longer.
furthermore, I ruined Xu Pingfeng and his family’s plan. They need someone to vent their anger on. If I don’t go back, they might be forced to take a risk. By then, not only will you be in danger, but second brother and sister-in-law might also be in trouble.
