Chapter: 1021 (1/2)

AST 1021 – Mother And Daughter Reunited, Emotional Entanglement of 36 Years

Qing Shui rode on the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and hurried towards Fair Wind City.

He was thinking about the Old Man’s words from earlier. If the Buddha Sect caught wind of Huoyun Liu-Li’s existence, they would definitely not allow Liu-Li to stay alive in this world. Qing Shui felt his rage burning at the thought of it. If the Buddha Sect really dared to make any move on Liu-Li, he wouldn’t go easy on them.

Qing Shui planned to reveal about Huoyun Liu-Li when he goes to the Buddha Sect. But the Old Man words made him a little hesitant. However, Qing Shui decided to go to the Buddha Sect and meet Huoyun Peng at a later time. He wanted to see if it there was anything the Huoyun Clan could do.

“Qing Shui!”

Just when Qing Shui was deep in his thoughts, Mo Hongluo called out to him softly.

Qing Shui was startled. “What is it, Aunt?”

It didn’t take him too long to figure out the situation when he saw Mo Hongluo who appeared to be slightly nervous. Even so, he still asked the question with a smile. She must be either excited or nervous because she was going to meet Liu-Li soon.

“Does Liu-Li know about us?” Mo Hongluo asked nervously. If Liu-Li didn’t know about her, would it be better if she stayed clueless forever? It wasn’t too bad for things to stay as it is. She was actually content just by knowing that Huoyun Liu-Li had been living well.

“Aunt, Liu-Li knew of your existence ever since she was young. Her foster parents had already told her when she was little. Her name remains as Huoyun Liu-Li too. It was thanks to them that I was able to know about your existence this quickly too.” Qing Shui explained with a smile.

“Oh. Does she loathe me then?” Mo Hongluo was extremely tense when she asked this question.

“Not really. Because her foster parents have told her that both of you had done this out of desperation. Liu-Li has only known about both of you recently.”

“Qing Shui, can you tell me some more things about Liu-Li? I really wish to know more.” Mo Hongluo requested Qing Shui earnestly.

“Liu-Li is a kind girl…”

Qing Shui recounted his first meeting with Liu-Li until now to her. While he was slowly speaking, Mo Hongluo listened quietly at one side with a faint smile on her face.

They had arrived at Fair Wind City before they could even realize it. Qing Shui smiled as he looked towards Mo Hongluo who was acting a little overly cautious. “Aunt, don’t be nervous. Liu-Li wants to meet you very much. I’m sure she will be very happy to see you.”

“Qing Shui, can we land somewhere further away and go there in a carriage?”

“Sure!”

Qing Shui knew how Mo Hongluo felt. She must have felt that she had fallen short of her daughter’s expectation. Most of her thoughts had come to a standstill long ago. They dwelled on the day when Liu-Li was sent to the Huoyun Blacksmith Store.

Children that had been abandoned usually thought a lot about their parents. But of course mostly with resentment, unless their reason for doing so was because they had no alternatives.

Mo Hongluo was very excited. She was going to meet her own flesh and blood very soon, that fair skinned and jade-like baby from back then. The child that she had reluctantly given away to someone else back then. The grief and agony she felt back then remained fresh in her memory, it still felt painful even now.

They got into a beast carriage and continued on their journey to the Qing Residence in Fair Wind City. They arrived at the entrance of the Qing Residence very soon and the beast carriage left. Mo Hongluo stood at the entrance as she stared at the manor, feeling very emotional in her heart.

“Aunt, let us go in!” Qing Shui told Mo Hongluo with a smile.

“Qing Shui, is this your home?”

“Yes, I have just purchased this place. It will also be my home from now on.”

Qing Shui made his way inside the Qing Residence with Mo Hongluo while they talked. This Qing Residence had no guards. Perhaps they would have some here in the future, but for now he had no plans in doing so.

The moment they entered, they saw a few children fooling around in a distance. Both Huoyun Liu-Li and Luan Luan were around.

“Daddy!”

Right at that moment, Qing Yu ran towards Qing Shui at lightning speed as soon as she saw him and hugged him. Huoyun Liu-Li also turned around to look in his direction. But she was visibly startled as soon as she laid her eyes on the beautiful woman by Qing Shui’s side. She felt kind of strange.

“Lass, have you been naughty?” Qing Shui asked while smiling at her.

“Yu’er has been most obedient. Why would I be naughty?” Qing Yu giggled and blinked her big round eyes.

Mo Hongluo stared at Huoyun Liu-Li without blinking. She could tell that this girl was her own daughter at just a single glance because Liu-Li resembled her very much, especially those eyes of hers.

Huoyun Liu-Li felt the same too. All of a sudden, she seemed as if she had realized something, before she turned towards Qing Shui with a questioning look.

Qing Shui smiled at her without saying anything. Mo Hongluo slowly walked towards her. “You are Liu-Li……”

She was stuttering a little and she looked very emotional. Her eyes reddened within an instant. At the same moment, Huoyun Liu-Li was also staring at this woman blankly. By now, she had already realized this woman’s identity. She just didn’t expect Qing Shui to be able to bring her here this soon.

“I am Huoyun Liu-Li. Who are you?” Although Huoyun Liu-Li already knew who she was, she still asked the question.

“Daughter, you are really my daughter!” Mo Hongluo’s tears immediately trickled down her face, as she stepped forward to embrace Huoyun Liu-Li tightly.
