Chapter 2294: Warm Embrace



Yun Wushuang was surprised to hear this. She had been locked up inside the Thousand Snows Peak all these years and was oblivious to the outside situation. If it weren't for Yun Mengxue, she wouldn't have known many things that had happened over the years.

"He is an ascender, right?" Ji Xiaoman asked.

"Yes. He told me people here don't like ascenders from the lower realms," Yun Lintian responded.

"He's not wrong. There are many fools here who are stupidly prideful. They think they are superior because they were fortunate enough to be born into a good family," Ji Xiaoman said with a smile, but there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

She paused for a moment and continued, "These people he talked about should be from the Heavenly Mandate Bureau, a group of people who regard themselves as holy ones."

"The Heavenly Mandate Bureau?" Yun Lintian didn't expect there would be such a group.

"They are nothing but a bunch of trash. You don't have to worry about them much," Ji Xiaoman said with contempt. "This Qing Shui must have stepped on their tails to make them hunt him down."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly and refrained from talking about the conspiracy Qing Shui had told him.

"Speaking of this, they will certainly look for you," Ji Xiaoman said further. "Their dog noses are very good, after all. They can't miss such a precious treasure, especially the divine beast bloodlines in your body."

Yun Lintian wasn't afraid of them, but he certainly tried to avoid them as much as possible. He wanted to stay low-profile during this period.

"You mentioned earlier how the divine beasts died?" Yun Lintian asked curiously. He always thought the Primordial Azure Dragon God and the others were alive.

Ji Xiaoman shook her head. "I have no idea either. From what I heard, they perished in the early state of the Primal Chaos. Some say they went into hiding."

She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and continued. "Most people believed in the latter. Your appearance has basically confirmed it. The divine beasts must have been hiding somewhere all this time."

Her eyes filled with guilt as she spoke. "I'm so sorry, Tian'er. I'm so sorry for leaving both of you."

Yun Lintian gently wiped away her tears, his touch a silent reassurance. "It's not your fault, Mom," he said. "You did what you had to do. You protected me and dad."

Yun Wushuang shook her head, her tears flowing freely. "I should have been there for you," she said, her voice filled with anguish. "I should have raised you, loved you, guided you." Yun Lintian cupped her face in his hands, his gaze meeting hers. "You are here now, Mom," he said, his voice firm and unwavering. "And that's all that matters."

Yun Wushuang's lips trembled, her heart overflowing with a love that had been suppressed for far too long. She leaned forward, her forehead resting against his.

"Tian'er," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I will never leave you again."

Yun Lintian closed his eyes and silently embraced his mother. He had always been curious about how it would feel to have a mother by his side. Now, he fully understood. It was indeed the best feeling ever.

A moment later, Yun Wushuang pulled back slightly, her gaze searching his face. "Tell me about your life, Tian'er," she said, her voice gentle and encouraging. "Tell me everything."

"Sure," Yun Lintian smiled and began to recount his situation.

In the sky above the inn, Ji Xiaoman coldly stared at a slender man in white. Her eyes brimmed with murderous intent.

"Your eyes are still the same... They are mesmerizing," the slender man said with a gentle smile. He gave off a warm and gentle vibe like a kindhearted man.

Ji Xiaoman sneered. "You are also as ugly as usual, Wang Hanyi. I was about to look for you,

and here you are. This saves me trouble."

"You're wrong, Xiaoman," the man, Wang Hanyi, said softly. "I'm here for him."
