BXBX NOVEL Chapter 577 The old woman's surprise
“Ahh!” The little guy exclaimed softly in surprise that the black dog had been stopped. He looked at the woman in front of him and shouted cheerfully, “Grandma!”
“Ling’er, you are being naughty again, you could hurt yourself. Are you not afraid that if your father found out, he will beat you again.” Mu Qing spoke as she moved forward to hold the little guy in her hand.
Seeing that the woman was coming to him, the Little guy cheerfully opened his arms and he went into the embrace of the woman. The little guy chuckled and said with joy, “Hehe, the father is cultivating behind the closed door! And I know that grandma won’t let father bully me either.”
“Hehe, you are right who can bully my sweet grandson in my presence?” Mu Qing held the little guy in her arm and pinched her cute cheek with her other hand.
‘Hmm…’ At this time, the old woman was looking at the Xianling with a stunned expression. Just now, she just casually checked the body of the little guy curiously. It turned out this little guy has a very strong physique. This little guy was a genius!
Mu Qing remembered that the old woman was still standing beside her. She couldn’t help but get anxious slightly, she apologized to the old woman on behalf of the little guy, “Senior Hua, please don’t mind Ling’er’s misbehave.”
The old woman smiled faintly and said, “Matriarch doesn’t have to be anxious, It’s just a little child play around.”
“By the way, Matriarch Qing, whose son is this boy?” The old woman curiously asked.
Mu Qing smiled in response and said, “This is my grandson.” “Little Ling, greet the elder!” Mu Qing dotingly said to the little guy. Although the little guy was naughty, he still learned how to respect the elders and old people.
“Xianling greets the elder!” The little guy said politely.
“Hahaha, this little guy is so cute and well-mannered.” The old woman nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Matriarch Qing, if you don’t mind can I check this little guy’s pulse? I can feel this guy is very talented.” The old woman said faintly.
Mu Qing hesitated for a second and nodded, “
The old woman reached out and took hold of the little guy’s hand then send a wisp of her spirit qi inside his body to inspect.
‘This..’
A moment later, the old woman’s expression changed. She didn’t guess wrong, this little guy’s physique was truly outstanding. She wanted to explore further but her qi blocked another strong force inside the little guy’s body. Although she was curious, she didn’t try to prove it further. She was well knowledgeable and knew that this force should be placed as a strong cultivator to protect the little guy in case of emergency.
It was not very rare in the world, many strong cultivators used this method to protect their descendants. But who is it, she was sure that the Mu Clan has such a strong cultivator in their clan otherwise.
Mu Qing guessed the old woman’s thoughts and answered. “Xianling’s maternal grandfather is a strong cultivator.”
“Ohh!” The old woman nodded in realization.
“Mother, is Ling’er being naughty again?” At this time, a young woman walked in front of the duo. It was Tang Yue.
“Yue’er, you are here!” Mu Qing looked at her daughter-in-law and said with a smile.
“Tang Yue greets the elder!” Tang Yue greeted the old woman politely. The news of the old woman’s arrived already to her ear, she guessed that this old woman should be a guest of the empire.
“Mmm!” The old woman nodded faintly, her mind that just calmed down was storm up again after meeting Tang Yue.
The old woman was surprised once again when saw the young woman. Not only her appearance was extraordinary, her aura was also very unique. With one look, one could guess that this young woman should be a member of a great family. But what surprised her most was the cultivation level of the young woman.
This young woman looked twenty years old but was already a Mid-Heaven Profound Realm cultivator. If she were to place in the black tortoise empire, she would regard as a top genius.
First, it was Mu Tian, Mu Wenqian, then the little guy now this young woman appeared. All of them were top talent. She couldn’t help but become a little curious about the Mu Clan, how could such a small clan give produce too many geniuses? Isn’t this clan’s luck too good?
“Yue’er, here take Ling’er. I need to show elder Hua the guest house.” Mu Qing handed the little guy to Tang Yue. Tang Yue took the little guy in her arms and then bowed toward Mu Qing and the old woman slowly before departing.
“Elder Hua, please!” Mu Qing gestured for the old woman to walk forward.
“By the way, Matriarch Qing, I haven’t seen your son.” The old woman suddenly asked as she became a little curious about Feng Yun who was the father and husband of Xianling and Tang Yue.
“Sorry to disappoint you elder Hua, but Yun is cultivating in seclusion.” Mu Qing said.
“Ohh, that’s okay. Let him practice then.” The old woman replied slowly. She was a just guest of the Mu Clan, it was good to meddle in their matter more than necessary.
Then she led her to the guest house of the Mu Clan and arranged a few maids to take care of every need of the old woman.
After the old woman settled down, Mu Qing went back to handle the affairs of the clan. She also sent a few more spying to spy on the Cao Clan, she needed to determine the identity of the backer of the Cao Clan as soon as possible.
On the other side, Li Dongmei and Mu Wenqian were chatting non-stop, mostly it was Mu Wenqian who was speaking and Li Dongmei was listening to her daughter’s stories with interest.
“Mother, I have brought many good things from the empire.” Mu Wenqian said as she started taking things from her storage ring, there were various types of things, some were common while some were treasures.
Li Dongmei looked at her daughter dotingly as she accepted the things.
With this, another day passed. With the presence of Mu Wenqian and elder Hua, the Mu Clan’s atmosphere became a little lighter as well.
On another side, the Cao Clan has obtained the news of the old woman coming to the Mu Clan. Surprisingly, they didn’t show any abnormalities. Many thoughts that with the backing of the empire, the Cao Clan will retreat and will seek peace with the Mu Clan, but it didn’t happen.
This also confirmed Mu Qing’s guess that the Cao Clan also found a strong backer as well.
Feng Yun wasn’t aware of any of this, he was still cultivating in seclusion with the help of spirit gathering array.
On the second day, Mu Wenqian found out that Mu Qing’s son was also present in the clan.
“What? Mother, You mean Aunt Qing has a son. Why didn’t I know about this?” Mu Wenqian exclaimed in shock. It was the first time, she was hearing this. She never knew that Mu Qing also has a son outside. His parents never told her about this.
“Calm down, Qian’er! There is a reason why I didn’t tell you about it.” Li Dongmei said as she tried to calm down Mu Wenqian, then she started telling her entire story of Mu Qing’s past life.
“You were naive at that time, I feared you will resent your father for his action that’s why I never told you about this. Please don’t resent your father.” Li Dongmei sighed and said with a guilty expression.
“This is wrong!” Mu Wenqian muttered slowly. She couldn’t help but think, what will she do if something like this happened to her family? She never expected that her gentle Aunt Qing has such a sad past. No wonder Aunt Qing didn’t like to talk much in the past, always stayed hidden in the house, and only came on special occasions.
No wonder why Aunt Qing and her father used to argue so much in the past.
Seeing the sad expression of Mu Wenqian, Li Dongmei tried to comfort her daughter. “Qian’er, it’s all past. Now your aunt has already reunited with her son.”
“Qian’er, let’s go. I will take you to meet your cousin and your sister-in-law.” Li Dongmei said.
“Mother, doesn’t cousin hate us for what father did to his family?” Mu Wenqian asked in a low tone.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mu Qing shook her head slowly and said with a faint smile, “Your cousin is a good-hearted person. After knowing him, I can say for sure that he doesn’t hate us. Yes, he hates your father very much, but I am sure it hasn’t reached a state where it can’t be resolved.
