Chapter 2292: Debt of Gratitude
Ji Xiaoman lowered her stance, and the crimson blade in her hand disappeared.
She turned to look at Yun Lintian and said with a charming smile, "Fortunately, I happened to pass by. Otherwise, you would have been in trouble, little brother."
"Thank you, Senior," Yun Lintian said sincerely.
"Still calling me Senior?" Ji Xiaoman pouted with dissatisfaction. "Call me Sister Xiaoman or Sister Manman."
Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly. "Sister Xiaoman," he reluctantly spoke.
"That's more like it." Ji Xiaoman smiled brightly.
Yun Lintian swept his gaze over the avenue and discovered Huo Yanzeng had disappeared without a trace. He had no idea when he had left.
Ji Xiaoman glanced at Yun Wushuang, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes. "Is she your mother?" she asked.
Yun Lintian didn't notice Ji Xiaoman's strange expression as he responded, "Yes."
Ji Xiaoman raised her brow slightly and glanced at Yun Xue as if she wanted to ask her for confirmation.
However, Yun Xue remained silent. Her expression was calm and composed.
"Really?" Ji Xiaoman smiled charmingly and said to Yun Wushuang, "Nice to meet you."
Yun Wushuang was startled by Ji Xiaoman's approachable demeanor. She quickly responded, "Thank you for helping Tian'er, Senior."
"It's just a small matter," Ji Xiaoman shook her head and asked, "I've never seen you before. I wonder which family you come from?"
"I'm an orphan. I was picked up by Master," Yun Wushuang replied truthfully.
"An orphan?" Ji Xiaoman took a deep look at Yun Wushuang. "Your aptitude is very high. No wonder you became the saintess."
"It's already the past," Yun Wushuang said with a faint smile.
On the side, Yun Lintian seemed to notice something strange in Ji Xiaoman's behavior. It was as if she doubted Yun Wushuang's identity. However, Yun Lintian was certain that Yun Wushuang was his biological mother, as the blood connection was undeniable.
"You should leave," Yun Xue suddenly spoke.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said, "Please accept this."
He raised his hand, and a thick green vine shot out, rushing toward Yun Xue.
Fu Jingzi was surprised slightly and turned to look at the Chu Clan.
Chu Liuxiang happened to look at him as well. The two of them seemed to exchange words in silence.
Chu Liuxiang turned to his son and said, "Forget about her."
Chu Che was unwilling, but he knew it was impossible to pursue Fu Mingyao further. Even though the relationship between Fu Mingyao and Yun Lintian might be shallow, anything
could happen.
He took a deep breath and said unwillingly, "Understood."
"Let's leave." Chu Liuxiang flickered his sleeve and walked away, followed by Chu Che and the clan members.
Fu Mingyao looked at her father in doubt when she saw this scene.
"You don't have to worry about it anymore," Fu Jingzi patted his daughter's shoulder. "Let's
go back."
Fu Mingyao was delighted upon hearing this. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Yun Lintian and expressed her gratitude for him in her heart.
***
Yun Lintian was oblivious to what happened to Fu Mingyao. At this moment, he had arrived in the Floating Cloud City.
After finding an inn to settle down, Yun Lintian looked at his mother and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Great Wilderness Realm right away, Mother?"
"Yes," Yun Wushuang replied, her eyes filled with myriad emotions. She had finally reunited with her son, but there seemed to be an invisible wall between them.
Yun Lintian didn't know how to act at the moment. He had imagined countless scenarios in his mind before meeting his mother, but the reality was entirely different. He wished he could hug her, but he was too embarrassed to do so.
Yun Wushuang was no exception. She wanted to hold her son dearly but was afraid he would reject her. The current situation between them was simple yet complicated at the same time.
On the side, Ji Xiaoman laughed and said, "What are you two doing? Shouldn't you be happy
to see each other again?"
Yun Wushuang smiled and said nothing.
Yun Lintian looked at Ji Xiaoman and asked, "What are you going to do next, Sister
Xiaoman?"
