Staring at the portrait, a deep longing filled my heart along with bursts of bitterness, and I was speechless.
For a moment, the room was filled with silence.
Like, so similar.
That face seemed to be printed from the same mold as that of the first person to fall.
Could it be that they are... mother and daughter?
A guess flashed through his mind, and Lan Tian's heart suddenly tightened. A feeling as if something was moving away from him suddenly came to his mind from the bottom of his heart.
"Little girl, Duanmu Yu and you are... relatives?" She covered up the slight fluctuations in her eyes, but swallowed the words "mother and daughter" that were about to come out.
Mother and daughter are connected, how can they not kiss?
"Grandpa, I'm not going to hide it from you," he suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes filled with water: "I am her biological daughter. I take my mother's surname, and my name is Duanmu Qianxue; my mother's name was Mu Yu, so I am also called Duanmu Qianxue.
Much love."
Mother and daughter, they are really mother and daughter.
In the future, when mother and daughter get to know each other, he will be alone again.
A sudden feeling of loss arose, and Lan Tian's arms couldn't help but tighten.
Sensing some invisible change, my heart trembled, Xiangsi shrank into Lan Tian's arms, and leaned tightly on his broad and warm chest.
Mother... mother and daughter?
"You are actually mother and daughter?" He mechanically picked up the wine and drank it down. Lai Ruyi's eyes were full of confusion: "Since Duan Muyu was born six years ago, even Lingcheng has been unable to find out his origins.
Which territory do you guys come from?"
What is supposed to come will always come, so let's make it clear once and for all.
"We do not belong to the Land of Perdition." He raised his head, glanced at the two of them quickly, and sighed faintly: "My mother and I came from a small island in the Xuanwu Continent, so no one can find out our identity.
Origin, unless someone also comes from beyond destruction.”
"You actually entered this place of sinking from the barrier on Xuanwu Continent?" Lan Tian was suddenly shocked: "Did you know that once you enter sinking, you will never be able to return for the rest of your life?"
For hundreds of millions of years, people from the outside world have entered the mainland. Unfortunately, whether they are outsiders or locals, they will all stay on this land forever.
No matter how many geniuses and wizards have been destroyed, it seems to be cursed. After reaching the divine level, the strength will be stuck there forever. Until the end of the life span, there has never been any breakthrough that layer of barrier, thus tearing off the heavy seals.
Return to Xuanwu.
Regretful, the blue sky suddenly gave birth to regret.
"My mother was abandoned by my mother's nominally ungrateful husband and fell into the realm of sinking. I came here specifically to find her. Whether I can go back or not is not very important." A kind of heartache, and again
Slowly creeping into my heart, I felt an unforgettable hatred for the Sima family.
If she had not been destined to return to the Xuanwu Continent due to her identity, she would not regret it even if she entered the land of sinking and could never return.
She does not recognize that the Sima family is her paternal clan, so Xiangsi is unwilling to even mention the word "father".
"It is difficult for you to have such filial piety, but it is not in vain for your mother's heart." Lan Tian showed a happy smile.
"It's important to find your mother, and it's equally important to pursue the supreme cultivation. Why do you have to come and perish?" Lai Ruyi sighed with infinite regret: "The Xuanwu Continent is vast, and with your talent, you will definitely be able to show your ambitions.
What a glorious life it will be to enter the temple and stand proudly among the heroes in the future; but now in this small place of sinking, a generation of genius has been wasted."
Why come?
Just for that family love as thick as water, just for that partner who is destined to be with you all the way.
Therefore, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, she will come.
"Those are my relatives, I have to come," Xiangsi smiled; "Thousands of glory, in my eyes, are not as important as my relatives; in my ears, the fame of the world is not as important as a call of family affection."
The smile was light and faint, the two pear dimples appeared, but it was like a thousand-year-old wine, intoxicated by the spring breeze, intoxicating people's hearts; the voice was so calm, but like a drum and a bell, making people's eardrums ring.
Family love weighs thousands of pounds, and family love is worth more than false reputation.
In an instant, Ruyi was shocked by the blue sky, as if struck by lightning, and was stunned and speechless.
At the same moment, Xue Hao, together with Zi Ji, Yintong and others who had been hiding in the invisible house, their eyes suddenly brightened, and their eyes were filled with brilliance.
They are also her relatives.
A contract, souls depend on each other, and they are destined to be close friends for eternity.
Her heart was filled with joy and full-hearted satisfaction, her eyes were deep, and only a slight curve at the corner of her mouth showed her good mood.
The little girl calls him grandpa, he is also the little guy’s relative.
"Little girl, would you like to tell grandpa about your mother and you?" The original regret disappeared in an instant, and Lan Tian's heart was filled with joy.
"I want to hear it too." Lai Ruyi also got rid of the thoughts of regret for her in an instant.
"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa slowly." He moved his body, found a better position to sit, and began to slowly narrate.
This narrative is extremely detailed, covering Duanmu Yu's departure from the island, his marriage to the Sima family, Sima Xiangsi's birth, then the false image created by the Sima family, and the demise of the Sima family.
Every bit of it, no matter how big or small, was revealed without reservation. The only thing was that Xiangsi didn't say that she was a soul that had traveled through time.
When I talked about the sad part, tears oozed from the corners of my eyes. When I talked about the touching part, my heart was filled with excitement. It took me half an hour to express this.
"Little girl, you are so good. The Sima family deserves to be killed!" The final sound of the last word faded away, and Lai Ruyi hit the armrest of the chair, greatly agreeing.
At such a young age, he suffered so much.
How much courage does it take to kill your father and your relatives?
"Girl, I'm sorry for you." Lan Tian caressed the little face, his eyes full of pity.
Maybe she is suffering, but God treats her well.
She has no father's love in this life, but she has the love of her maternal family, which is enough. What's more, she also has the sincere love of others like Chang Qing and Wu Lao.
"Thank you, grandpa, for not disapproving that I am a cruel person." He closed his eyes quietly and let the hand caress him gently. Then he opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with warmth: "As soon as I came out of the barrier, Uncle Han hugged me.
, and when I arrived at Medicine King City, I got another grandpa, and I was very lucky."
"Girl, maybe it's fate. Brother Lan has never held a child in his arms for tens of thousands of years, but he is the only one who likes you." Lai Ruyi's eyes sparkled: "Actually, Brother Lan, I have wanted to snatch it from you for a long time.
Now, this little girl’s methods are very similar to those of you and me back then, and she’s very appealing to me. Now, I want to snatch her even more.”
"Go away, the little girl is mine." Lan Tian rolled his eyes: "You go and pick up your grandson. It's not easy for me to have a good grandson. Don't get in trouble with me."
"Now, I just won't grab it for now." Lai Rushu glared in interest.
The relationship is so good.
A yearning smile.
"Little girl, the boys from the Shui family have arrived at King Qi City. Tomorrow you go see your Uncle Han. He has been looking for you." Lan Tian lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms very seriously: "Although Mr. Han
, the two of you in Junlin are not your biological fathers, but both of them are qualified to be your new fathers. You should think about it and see who you like. Maybe you can suggest that your mother accept them as husband attendants."
Uncle Han is here?
Ah? All...all accepted?
She, she heard it right?
"Grandpa, you said, have you accepted it all?" Xiangsi, who had just been pleasantly surprised, was immediately dumbfounded by Lan Tian's advanced and new trendy thinking.
"Little girl, it's not a strange thing for a woman to marry her husband and then go to ruin. Besides, it's nothing new in Xuanwu Continent. What's not to do? The master of the Rose Mansion has hired dozens of servants to wait for you.
In the future, when your cultivation reaches its peak, you can earn hundreds of thousands and give your grandpa a bunch of great-grandchildren to play with." Lan Tian patted Xiang Si on the head, with the intention of brainwashing her.
Hundreds and thousands?
"Grandpa, I don't have to, I just want one." His whole body was trembling, Xiangsi was so frightened that his hair stood on end, his voice was weak, for fear that Lan Tian would slap him away with his palm.
"We'll talk about this later. You pack up and go to Xiaoyue Castle to see your mother immediately after the Qiwang City Conference." A big palm 'touched' Xiang Si's head, and Lan Tian straightened his face again: "Xiaoyue Castle passed down the news last year.
Send the message that your mother will receive the treasure presenters from mainland China in July this year. Go and check for your mother and choose some good fathers for yourself."
July?
The ten-year deadline has not yet arrived, why has it been brought forward?
"I understand, I will leave immediately after the meeting." Xiangsi was suddenly startled.
"It's time to eat. We'll talk about the details tomorrow." Lai Ruyi hurriedly smoothed things over: "There will be an auction the day after tomorrow. After we've eaten, we'll discuss preparing the things for the little girl."
"Indeed, little girl, try this." Lan Tian immediately brought the delicious food in front of him and stuffed the plate into Xiang Si's hands.
The boat will go straight to the bridge. We can wait until after the meeting to discuss everything.
Acacia bowed her head and began to taste the food.
After dinner, Lan Tian came to Ruyi, just as he said before, he really had a big discussion about the auction. From guessing what kind of treasures would appear to how much money might be needed, he made a budget one by one.
, however, basically they put someone aside and took over everything else. The three of them did not rest until the end of the year.
The spring night is short, it begins at about nine o'clock, and the sky is already bright.
But when the morning sun has just risen, the ancient Qiwang City has already begun a new day of prosperity. The flow of people on the street begins to move, and the shop doors on both sides are open.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I got up after a good night's sleep. After drinking morning tea, and following the repeated instructions of the two city lords, I returned to wearing a mask, wearing a flying blue skirt, and wearing Xue Hao's clothes.
, hugging Xiaobai, and rushed outside the city lord's mansion.
Crossing the numerous courtyards, he drifted away under the watchful eyes of the guard at the gate.
After crossing the open square in front of the city lord's palace and walking to a corner where no one was paying attention, Xiangsi put Xiaobai up in the air and hid in the moving castle, leaving Xuehao and Xiaobai waiting outside.
.
"Little master, you are back." A group of beasts who had been waiting outside the house immediately surrounded him.
"You're back. Now go to the auction house and let people evaluate the few treasures in your hands, and then go find something to eat." Xiangsi looked at her partners one by one, pulled Yinyin over, and walked out: "You guys are at home.
wait for me."
"Where are you taking me?" Yin Yin pulled her away very cooperatively, but with a curious look on her face.
In just a flash, the two of them stepped out of the house and stood under the sky of Qiwang City.
Did you forget the purpose of sneaking out so quickly?
"You left Binghai just to come to Qiwang City to play. Now you can go. You can go wherever you want." Xiangsi rolled her eyes, speechless because of her bad memory.
Grandfather said, we must stick to it till the end.
How could he leave alone?
"I'll just stay with you. Wherever you go, I'll go. It's just fun." Yin Yin blinked her silver eyes, tugged on Xiangsi's sleeve like a daughter-in-law, and opened her mouth
Pout: "You don't want me anymore, you want to drive me away?"
