She had some extremely strong intuition - her mother was most likely not dead!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Ye Heng stayed in seclusion for many years just for this breakthrough.
As he said, Ye Xiyue was his only daughter, and he loved her dearly. In order to save her from certain dangers, he even went so far as to personally destroy her spiritual roots.
How could such a person abandon his young daughter and practice alone in seclusion if he didn't have the last resort?
Then, the reason for this difficulty is most likely her mother!
Ye Heng looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Xi'er, what do you know?"
Ye Xiyue breathed out gently and shook her head.
"I don't know anything, dad, please tell me."
Ye Heng was silent for a long time.
Xi'er is smart and can't help but guess this.
Moreover, there are some things that it is really time to tell her now.
Finally, Ye Heng slowly spoke:
"Xi'er, you guessed right: your mother is indeed still alive if you kiss her."
Ye Xiyue's heart tightened.
Although she had guessed this before, when she heard Ye Heng say it himself, her mood still fluctuated uncontrollably.
Ye Heng was sorting through those old things in his mind, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start.
Ye Xiyue couldn't help but ask:
"Then, where is she now?"
She was still alive, so why was she separated from them?
And for so many years, he has been claiming to be dead?
Where is she now and what kind of life is she living?
Why has it never come back, and not even the slightest news has been sent back?
There were so many questions in Ye Xiyue's mind that she couldn't let go.
She vaguely felt that there seemed to be an invisible net, trapping them all in it, unable to break free.
After a long time, Ye Heng finally smiled bitterly:
"Dad doesn't know either."
Ye Xiyue's heart sank.
Ye Heng continued:
"Over the years, I have tried to find her whereabouts countless times, but it has always been in vain. Moreover, even if I know, with our current strength, we cannot bring her back."
He said "we".
Now he is already a strong man in the Ling Sect. Looking at the entire Tianlan, there are probably not many people who can be his opponent.
And Ye Xiyue, although not as good as Ye Heng, is extremely powerful in combat, especially now that she is accompanied by Wujin Sheron.
Ye Heng is clear about this.
But he still said this.
Ye Xiyue suddenly understood something.
"No wonder..."
No wonder the black-robed man was so powerful, no wonder she still mocked Ye Heng when she saw him breaking through the Ling Sect, no wonder he dared to break into Nanshan College...
Everything is because the other party is so terrifyingly powerful!
Not only the man in black robe, but the power behind him is probably even more amazing!
"Xi'er, do you still remember that your mother left a box for you and said she wouldn't open it until you were an adult?"
Ye Heng suddenly asked.
Ye Xiyue came back to her senses and nodded gently.
"Remember."
At first, she studied the box for a long time, but was never able to open it. Later, she simply gave up and planned to wait until her birthday to see it again.
There is obviously a reason for Ye Heng to mention it at this time.
Ye Xiyue asked:
"Daddy knows what's in there?"
Ye Heng thought for a moment, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"I don't know. Your mother left it specially for you. You have to open it yourself after all."
