3278 Making Inquiries
Si Que and Mu Xin left. Before leaving, Si Que instructed the Shao family members to help and keep an eye on the situation here. The Shao family members did not dare to ignore the direct order of the Shao family’s predecessor. They agreed repeatedly.
After they had left, Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze walked around the manor to inspect the damage done during that night’s battle. With the help of the Shao family, the huge crack in the ground was paved over and filled. Some of the garden’s flowers and plants have been replanted, and the crumbling walls have been repaired. Although everything was already restored to its former condition, traces remained.
“You said back then that Hao’er came from an extraordinary background. However, I can never imagine that he would draw in such a Strong Exponent. His true identity must be remarkable!” Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu paused to watch Little Hao’er as she played in the garden.
“Indeed! I didn’t anticipate him being so remarkable. Although I’m still unclear on the nature of this identity. What do you think?” She turned to Xuanyuan Mo Ze and posed the question.
“Perhaps he is the son of the ruler of this continent,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, looking up at the sky. To attract such a Strong Exponent, the little boy’s identity was almost certainly not the blood of a common hidden family, but rather the blood of the continent’s ruler.
Feng Jiu was astonished. “This continent’s ruler?”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze didn’t elaborate more. “Si Que and Mu Xin are already on the way to investigate it. I think it won’t be long before we find out, but right now that’s just a guess.”
Feng Jiu nodded. “Yes, by the time their investigation is finished, we should know what kind of people we’re dealing with, or when Elder Mei wakes up, let him tell us everything.”
“When is Elder Mei going to wake up?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked.
Feng Jiu shook her head. “It’s difficult to say. Not only his vital organs were damaged, but he also took a serious blow to the head when he hit the ground. Even after I treated him with the blue lotus’ life force, a head injury is not easy to understand.”
“Father, Mother!”
The little boy saw the two of them over there, yelled happily, ran over with his short legs, and jumped right at Feng Jiu with his arms open as if he wasn’t afraid of falling.
When Feng Jiu saw the little boy approaching, she couldn’t help but smile, squat down, catch him and hug him in her arms: “Is Hao’er tired of playing? Have you eaten?”
“Mother, Hao’er is not tired.” He spoke clearly and crisply, tilted his head and thought, and said, “Aunt Shuang said to eat later.”
Feng Jiu rubbed his head and then told Leng Shuang. “Tell the kitchen to prepare some food and send them over to the garden! We’ll eat here. Also, tell the kitchen to make some ginseng porridge for Leng Hua and others.”
“Yes.” Leng Shuang replied. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Making some ginseng porridge to replenish vitality? Could it be that they’d recovered from their injuries? She quickly bowed, withdrew, and went to the kitchen.
Feng Jiu hugged the child with one hand while holding Xuanyuan Mo Ze with the other. They went to the garden pavilion to sit. She remembered her sister Wanyan Qianhua’s story and told it to Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
“I thought I’d go visit her after returning, but I wasn’t expecting this.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze paused briefly after hearing this and then said, “I don’t think you can help their relationship even if you go there. It’s best to let them figure it out on their own.”
