Chapter Fifty-Four: Mother and Son Reunite

  "Happiness is a feeling from the heart, not because of whether or not one has gained glory, or obtained a life of luxury and comfort. Some people are high above others, with millions below them, yet they still don't feel happy. Do you know why?"

  Feilu's sentence is sarcastic towards Xiaoleng.

  Xiao Lian smiled faintly and said, "Some people are poor all their lives, worrying every day whether they can eat a hot meal tomorrow. Others, although seemingly noble swordsmen, have inferior talents that prevent them from achieving greatness in life. They worry daily about being surpassed by stronger people, living in fear of being humiliated. Can such a life be considered happy?"

  "Haha." Feilu smiled and bowed to Xiaoleng, saying: "Xiaoleng's insight is high, but if a person has feelings, no matter what kind of difficult situation they are in, their heart will feel warmth. If a person has no feelings, no matter how superior the environment they are in, their heart will feel empty and lacking, isn't that so?"

  As soon as these words came out, Xiaoleng's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, and past events appeared before her eyes. This also made her have to pay more attention to the young lord of Shachen City in front of her. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he could understand so much about the truth of life.

  "The castle owner is indeed a profound and reclusive person, serving as an undercover investigator for the demon capital for over ten years. No one had ever detected that you were actually the castle owner. I thought you were just a young and inexperienced puppet ruler, but after meeting you today, I found you to be so profound and difficult to understand."

  Xiao Lian rarely spoke such words of admiration, Fei Lu speculated about her temperament and thought that this speech was also sincere. With a humble expression, he said: "Maybe you think I'm too profound, but in fact, everyone has a simple side, who doesn't want to live a tiring life, right?"

  "Hehe." I didn't expect Little Lian to have such a cute laugh.

  Yao Qin, who was watching Ji Guang dance with the sword, felt surprised and walked up to Fei Lou's side, pretending to be calm and asked: "City Master, what are you talking about?"

  Feilu raised her eyes and stared at Yaoqin, smiling slyly: "We were just saying that you married a very steady and good husband, and we're all envying you."

  Yao Qin heard this, her face turned red with shyness, she stomped her feet, and her coquettish demeanor became even more apparent.

  "Castle owner, are you teasing me? You're such a good person, soon someone who cares about you will appear."

  Successfully diverting the topic to Feilu, Feilu couldn't help but sigh and say: "You little girl, your words are getting more and more like an adult's. It wasn't in vain that you've been lurking in Magic City for so many years."

  Feilu's words were like pearls, on the surface they described Yaoqin's growth, but in reality they hinted at Xiaoleng. Yaoqin was a secret agent of Shacheng and often found herself in dangerous situations.

  As expected, Xiaoleng stared at Feilu with a surprised face.

  "What did you just say, Qiner is a spy in Shacheng?"

  "What's wrong? What can't be done?" Fei Lu pretended to look surprised.

  Xiaolinger's expression was also extremely difficult to decipher, unpredictable and hard to read.

  "No, I'm just shocked. I didn't think such a difficult task could be completed so flawlessly by Qiner at such a young age."

  Fei Lu heard this and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

  "The clothes of heaven have no seams, are they really seamless?"

  "All these years, the Demon Capital has repeatedly caught Shacheng's spies, but never found Qiner's whereabouts. Isn't this already flawless?" said Xiaoleng.

  "No matter how flawless one's disguise is, it can't compare to some people who have done evil deeds in certain places and yet managed to make others completely unaware of their cunning." Yao Qin said with a cold sneer.

  Ling'er's face turned cold once again.

  "Whatever it was, we each had our own masters then, and at the time I was just"

  Abnormal Dream Forum

  I've done what I should have done. For more and faster chapters, please go to... Xiaoleng seemed to have decided not to make any more excuses.

  "Very well, I like the way you talk to me. Since we've already made a mistake, why bother making excuses? It's better to honestly admit one's own mistakes, this is the demeanor an elder should have." Yao Qin stood with her hands behind her back, lecturing Xiao Lian like an adult.

  But Xiaoleng saw a glimmer of hope.

  "Growing up, in your heart, did you really treat me as an elder?"

  "After all, you are my birth mother. No matter how much I hate you, this relationship can never be changed, and no one can change it." Yao Qin said expressionlessly.

  But a face without expression is also an expression, at least this expression has no distinction between joy and anger, or good and evil.

  "Of course, it can't be changed." Xiao Lian's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as she spoke affirmatively, her entire body excited to the point of almost standing up and embracing Yao Qin once again, feeling Yao Qin's familiar warmth.

  "So, I hope you can stay in Shacheng and be with your daughter." Yao Qin said expressionlessly.

  Xiao Lian only then realized something, seeing Fei Lu's expectant gaze on herself, that kind of eagerness far surpassed Yao Qin himself, and suddenly enlightened.

  "I see, okay, I promise you." As she said this, Xiaoleng didn't even glance at Yaoqin, but instead stared intently at Feilu's profound and inscrutable eyes.

  Feilu immediately smiled and accompanied, refilling a bowl of wine for Xiaoying. He raised the wine bowl and said with great fanfare: "Come on, let's finish this bowl, from now on we're one family."

  Xiao Lian gazed deeply at Fei Lu, slowly picked up her wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

  A family.

  Haha.

  "What a family."

  Xiao Lian seemed to be muttering to herself, a bowl of wine as if drunk, swaying back and forth, got up and walked to the front of Yao Qin, once again took out the soul-cultivating manual, handed it to Yao Qin's hand, but did not say half a word more to Yao Qin, swaying back and forth, walked out of the square.

  Yao Qin stared blankly at the manual in her hand, and to her surprise, her eyes became moist and blurry.

  "Alright, don't be sad anymore. After all, she is your mother. Now that you've recognized each other again, let's get along harmoniously from now on and not be so willful." Fei Lu stood up and patted Yao Qin's shoulder, comforting her.

  Yao Qin could no longer control her emotions, and involuntarily threw herself into Fei Lu's arms, tightly embracing his slender waist, and burst out crying loudly.

  The loud crying was drowned out by the applause of those in the square who were cheering on Ji Guang's sword dance.

  No one noticed Yaoqin's crying, except Feilu, who was shocked by the cry, and his heart suddenly ached, as if he remembered that person again, Shen Dou in Jiuyou City.

  How is he now?

  The more he wanted to understand, the more his heart ached.

  It's an emotion she herself can't quite grasp.

  It was just six years of being with Shendu, but she could clearly remember that slender and tall figure, those determined eyes, and that faint warmth, which no other man could provide.

  As she thought of this, her mouth involuntarily curled up into a 30-degree smile, and she patted Yao Qin's small shoulder, saying softly: "Okay okay, today is your big happy day, how can you cry?"

  Yao Qin seemed to listen most to Fei Lu's words, and soon she gathered her emotions, the cheers from the square once again entered her ears, and with a warm smile, she gazed lovingly at Ji Guang who was seriously dancing with his sword in the square.

  Seeing such a smile, Fei Lu couldn't help but laugh along with it...
