Chapter 4943: Know
Upon hearing this, Yue’er stared blankly at her Big Brother. His subtle barbs cut far deeper than her own brother’s stern reprimands—this was making her truly regret sneaking away!
Had she not slipped out while they were gone, she could have waited for Mother to arrive at the mountain and left with her.
At this thought, she hung her head dejectedly. “I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I’ll never disobey again.”
Seeing this, Hao’er didn’t say much else. He simply reached out and patted her shoulder. “Master went out on business. We happened to run into you here. Until Master returns, we’ll stay by Mother’s side.”
“It’s crowded and noisy here. Let’s sit in the tavern up ahead!” Mi’er chimed in beside her, eyeing the little girl curiously. Who’d have thought someone so young dared to roam alone? Impressive! Truly the child of her master.
“Alright.” Feng Jiu agreed, leading the children toward the tavern ahead.
Upon reaching the second floor, they found a quieter spot to sit. Only then did Feng Jiu inquire, “Yue’er, how long have you been here? Where are you staying now?”
“Mother, I came here with Grandfather Guo. I wasn’t traveling alone. I’m staying at a friend of Grandfather Guo’s house. I was planning to come find you in a couple of days,” she hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow. “Grandfather Guo? Who is he? How did you meet him?”
“Well, when I asked the little fox to take me away, something unexpected happened. I…” She recounted the events after leaving that day, explaining how she escaped from the Xiao family’s place and why she ended up coming here with the Guo family’s Old Predecessor.
After listening, Feng Jiu nodded. “So, because you encountered danger on the road, he discovered your identity?”
“Yes,” Yue’er replied, adding, “But he promised not to reveal it, since I saved his life!”
“Where is the whip your master gave you?” Feng Jiu asked.
“Here.” Yue’er produced it and handed it to her mother, explaining, “Mother, this whip is truly remarkable. It can be used as both a whip and a sword.”
Feng Jiu took the whip, examined it, and nodded. “It is indeed a treasure. Your master has been very kind to you, entrusting you with this Ancient Divine Whip.”
With that, she smiled and handed the whip back. “Put it away. Nowadays, this whip practically represents your identity. Even those who haven’t met you will know you’re Yun Qi, the third disciple under the Azure Emperor, just by seeing it.”
After their long-awaited reunion, they chatted for a while in the tavern. Yue’er then said, “Mother, I should go back to the Yu Manor and tell Grandfather Guo and the Yu family, so they won’t worry.”
“That’s a good idea. After you’ve told them, come to the inn! We plan to leave the city tomorrow. Now that we’ve met you, you should come with us. We’ll take you back to the island to see it then.” ” Feng Jiu said with a smile.
“Master, I’ll accompany Yue’er! I’ll bring her back to the inn to find you later.” Mi’er spoke up from the side.
They had been talking the whole time, and she had been listening nearby. She knew that the Master’s three children were now disciples under the Azure Emperor, and this information was known to very few people indeed.
