Chapter 1096: Madam Qiu’s Identity

Mrs. Qiu was not feeling well. She held her daughter who was crying and comforted her softly for a while, and soon her body became unstable, beginning to tremble slightly.

"Sis, mom’s not well, let’s go inside first."

As soon as Qiu Qianghai spoke, Qiu Qingyun left their mother’s embrace.

Together with her brother, she supported their mother and brought her to sit on the sofa in the hall.

No one noticed the surprise and shock on the faces of Mu Family Head, Wanqi Family Head, and Wanqi Immortal when they saw Mrs. Qiu.

Their gaze was as if they had seen an old acquaintance.

When they saw Mrs. Qiu, they unconsciously showed a respectful attitude.

Yu Qingli approached the sofa, showing disapproval to Mrs. Qiu’s arrival: "Mom, you’re not well. If there’s anything you can just call us, making this trip is too taxing on your body."

In recent years, Mrs. Qiu’s health has been deteriorating, requiring frequent visits to the hospital.

Last month, she even fainted at home, and if not for the caregiver, she might have just lain cold at home.

"It’s okay, it’s okay..."

Mrs. Qiu waved her hand dismissively, looking indifferent.

Her eyes scanned the room for the figure of her grandson.

Soon, her keen eyes locked onto Yu Shuo standing disoriented, filled with despair and sorrow in the hall.

She beckoned to Yu Shuo: "Child, come here."

Overwhelmed by grief, Yu Shuo, pale-faced, came forward when he heard his grandmother calling him.

Mrs. Qiu held her grandson’s hand, her wise eyes scanned the hall, and finally fixed her gaze on Gu Jin.

She looked at Gu Jin calmly, unsure, saying: "Little Ninth Lord?"

The old lady rarely went out; she only knew her grandson had apprenticed under a master but had never met him.

According to the family’s descriptions, in the large hall, only Gu Jin, whether in external conditions or internal aura, matched her grandson’s master.

Gu Jin nodded gently to the old lady: "Hello."

Mrs. Qiu smiled: "I don’t travel much these years, today is our first meeting. I came in a hurry and didn’t bring a gift, next time I will personally visit with a present."

Even though Gu Jin was young, in the old lady’s eyes he was still a child, yet she greatly admired someone so capable.

Gu Jin remained calm and composed, stepping forward to the old lady’s side, bending slightly: "You’re too kind. By generations, I should be the one visiting you."

Mrs. Qiu smiled without saying anything, her eyes gauging Gu Jin standing before her, growing increasingly satisfied.

All these years, she was detached from worldly matters, never expecting such an outstanding female cultivator to emerge.

"Grand Princess!"

"Major Princess!"

"Yongyi!"

Mu Family Head, Wanqi Family Head, and Wanqi Immortal couldn’t help but speak.

Mrs. Qiu turned her gaze to the three old acquaintances upon hearing them.

Wanqi Immortal rushed over to Mrs. Qiu.

Or rather, to the Grand Princess, Han Yongyi, the elder sister of the current master of Chen Palace.

Wanqi Immortal knelt on one knee before Mrs. Qiu, her eyes teary, her gaze kind and gentle.

"You... Yongyi, since you’re alive, why haven’t you returned all these years? How have you been all these years?"

No matter her words, Wanqi Immortal only questioned her whereabouts over the years.

Anyone could see something was amiss with this sudden change.

Before, Mu Family Head, Wanqi Family Head’s call hinted at something everyone speculated.

Gu Jin’s eyes glanced over Mrs. Qiu, Wanqi Immortal, Mu Family Head, and Wanqi Family Head, then silently moved back to An Mingji’s side.
