After the words fell, the surroundings fell into silence.
This incident was so shocking that even Jingchuan didn't speak for a long time.
He quickly digested Mo Xiu's words.
——These three detailed and precious maps are from the hands of Xi'er's mother.
How...possible?
He had just stared at the map for a long time, and he was sure that if he did not know the Tianlan Kingdom very well, he would never be able to draw such a map.
Especially over the Warcraft Mountains, the complex and tortuous terrain is clearly marked on it.
The person who drew the picture must have gone deep into the Warcraft Mountains, and... definitely not only once or twice!
How much strength does that require?
Jingchuan didn't hear Ye Xiyue mention her mother.
Probably because that person left early, Ye Xiyue didn't have much impression of him.
Jingchuan had always thought that she was just an ordinary woman, but he didn't expect——
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked closely at Mo Xiu.
"You seem to be quite familiar with Xi'er's mother?"
When he and Ye Xiyue came here for the first time, Mo Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Xiyue's face, and said that she looked very much like her mother.
How could this be said by an unrelated stranger?
Mo Xiu obviously knew more about Ye Xiyue's mother.
Mo Xiu closed his eyes.
"An old friend."
His body relaxed, as if he could finally bear the weight on his shoulders, and he slowly let out a breath.
Jingchuan's mind is so sharp. As the dean of Nanshan College, Mo Xiu has a noble status and powerful strength. Even a member of the family in the imperial capital must be respectful when meeting him.
The person he can regard as an "old friend" is naturally unusual.
——Of course, this can be seen from the amazing map.
Jingchuan quickly thought about it in his mind and still felt that something was wrong with this matter.
If Xi'er's mother really has a close friendship with Mo Xiu, why has he never cared for Xi'er in the slightest for so many years?
Or... is it because he has been in seclusion here for many years and has never come out?
But Mo Xiu should have a certain understanding of the outside situation. After all, he is still the dean of the entire Nanshan College, so it is impossible to completely block outside information.
Put it this way——
"I didn't know her situation before."
As if he had guessed what Jingchuan was thinking, Mo Xiu smiled helplessly.
Seeing that he didn't look fake, Jingchuan didn't dwell on the issue.
And it seemed that Mo Xiu had no intention of saying more.
Jingchuan thought briefly:
"What you mean by these words is that you hope Xi'er will take that map back?"
"That's what her mother left behind. It belongs to her."
Two of the original three copies were given away, leaving only the last one at Ye's house.
Since Ye Xiyue has completely broken up with the Ye family, there is no reason to continue to leave these things to the Ye family.
Jingchuan vaguely felt that there was something else involved after this map, but from Mo Xiu, he probably couldn't find out anything.
He made his choice quickly.
"What you said makes sense. I will definitely tell you the truth when I go back."
Mo Xiu stared at him for a while before finally saying:
"That child was born into a hard life and has suffered a lot over the years. I still hope that you can take more care of her in the future."
If he had protected her, Ye Xiyue's life would have been much easier.
The corners of Jingchuan's lips were slightly raised.
