Immediately after, Mu’s gaze fixated on the three large characters chiseled onto the memorial tablet: Long Chuyun.
It really was Long Chuyun.
Qiao Mu felt her nose tingle as her eyes were filled with an indescribable sorrow.
Yet she continued to stare quietly at that memorial tablet, not making any movements for a long while.
She finally understood why her first glimpse of that skeleton in fiery-red robes in the secret inheritance realm had filled her chest with such a peculiar and suffocating sorrow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that that was their first meeting…
It had been fifteen years.
They had met but did not know each other!
She was the teacher that passed down the pill inheritance to her, and she was also her birth mother!
“Miss had told me that her internal injuries were originally too serious for her to give birth to you.” Wei Ziqin choked, “She used a very extreme method to give birth to you. That’s why her body had become even weaker than before.”
“Yet at this time, her enemies had found her. In her helplessness, she could only entrust you to me. At that time, your dad and I had not yet gotten married.” Wei Ziqin recalled this vividly in her mind, but even if things were unchanged, the people were already gone.
“We met by chance in town, and your dad did not disdain us even though I was a single parent.”
Wei Ziqin chuckled bitterly. “Afterwards, your dad brought us back to Qiaotou Village. Your grandmother had a thorn in her heart, feeling that Mom had cheated on your father and had you.”
“Qiaoqiao. Your birth mother had called you this back then.”
So that’s why from the start, Dad and Mom had always called her Qiaoqiao.
At the beginning, she had thought that because she was the eldest child, Dad and Mom had just gotten used to calling her “Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao.”
She only realized now that it was because her dad and mom had known from beginning to end that her name was Mu Qiao.
Her childhood name was indeed Qiaoqiao.
Qiao Mu knelt there without budging in the slightest.
Wei Ziqin felt her heart wrench when she saw this.
She stuffed the half of a jade pendant attached to a red string into her daughter’s hands before crying with her arms around the latter, “Why don’t you hold on to this, okay. Qiaoqiao, this was what your birth mother left behind. You can resent anyone, but not her.”
“Mom had recognized the ring on your finger when I saw it.” Wei Ziqin bent back slightly to remark to the expressionless Qiao Mu, “It truly is the divine fate between mother and daughter. No matter how far apart, no matter how long apart, you just reunited like this out of the blue.”
“That’s why you were so ecstatic when you heard that I knew how to refine pills that you went to open up the ancestral hall to pay respects to the ancestors for looking after me.”
“In reality, you had gone to tell her that I had also become a pill alchemist! That I would become a great pill alchemist like her in the future!”
Wei Ziqin kept nodding tearfully.
“Mom, do you know who her enemies are? Who is it that wanted her life?”
Wei Ziqin shook her head. “Mom isn’t lying. Mom indeed does not know. I had swore to Miss that I would not mention her name to you in this lifetime. She hoped that you could live untroubled as a normal person. Yet how could someone with her bloodline be normal from birth.”
“She did not hope for you to go down a dead end and fixate on revenge.” While hugging her, Wei Ziqin tucked a loose strand of hair on the girl’s cheek behind her ears.
“Mom only knows that when Miss gave birth to you, she had told me that she had not long left to live.”
“But Mom truly did not know that she would actually set up a secret inheritance realm and die all alone inside,” Wei Ziqin choked.
