Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: A Win-Win Solution

But at this moment, they had already decided to deal with Ningxi Island, so they still had a real tough battle to fight. As such, their stay in the Futu Realm became uncertain.

At this time, if Brother Qiao and Xiaoqi went back to Ningxi Island, firstly, they could avoid many dangers that might arise afterward. Secondly, Phoenix Island was certainly a great place for cultivation. With Xiaoqi around, Brother Qiao could quickly strengthen his skills, providing more assurance when they might need to fight side by side in the future.

So as soon as Xiaoqi spoke up, she knew what she wanted to say. Although she had her own little thoughts, Han Jing was very supportive of these thoughts.

Furthermore, she was sure that after Brother Qiao had discussed it with them last night, he had already decided to go to Phoenix Island with Xiaoqi.

Han Jing looked at Xiaoqi’s bright and cheerful face, feeling some anticipation in her heart. This was truly a win-win situation.

By the time the two of them wandered to the Island Master Mansion, the sky had darkened, and the mansion had already started serving dinner. However, Feng Peining had no appetite at all, and after standing at the door several times, eventually instructed people to remove the dishes.

While sitting in the hall to rest, she was startled to see Xiaoqi and Han Jing slipping out from some corner, and it took her a long moment to react: "Xiaoqi?"

"Auntie, what are you daydreaming about? I’ve been standing in front of you for ages before you noticed!" Xiaoqi pouted. She used to spend a lot of time with Feng Peining when she was young, and they had a good aunt-niece bond. Later, Xiaoqi also visited Shuiqi Island, and Feng Peining had returned to Phoenix Island, so they were relatively informal with each other.

Feng Peining looked at Xiaoqi in surprise: "Isn’t it true that after a few years of not seeing you, you’ve grown into a young lady, and I almost didn’t recognize you?"

Xiaoqi happily replied: "Well, I’ve grown up!"

Feng Peining, seeing that she still retained her old self, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xiaoqi pulled Han Jing over to introduce her to Feng Peining: "Auntie, this is Sister Jing, Han Jing."

Feng Peining smiled at Han Jing but was a bit puzzled: "Why haven’t I seen you before?"

Xiaoqi didn’t know for a moment how to explain Han Jing’s identity to Feng Peining, so she pulled Feng Peining and said: "Auntie, Sister Jing is my friend, so don’t ask further questions. We’re here to discuss serious business with you!"

Feng Peining easily saw Han Jing’s strength, so she wasn’t worried about Xiaoqi suffering any losses and didn’t investigate Han Jing’s background further. She followed Xiaoqi’s lead and asked: "What serious business, my little ancestor!"

Xiaoqi pouted: "Auntie, you’re teasing me again!"

Feng Peining laughed: "Truly, you are the joy of our Phoenix Island. Seeing you makes all my troubles vanish! So, tell me, what’s your reason for coming?"

Xiaoqi hesitated about whether to speak, observing Feng Peining’s thoughts while they talked. She was still worried about where Shui Jingmo had gone and why he hadn’t returned yet, showing her genuine love and concern for Shui Jingmo.

"Auntie, is Uncle not at home? When Sister Jing and I came in, we heard the servants talking. Where did Uncle go?" Xiaoqi asked.

Upon hearing Shui Jingmo’s name, Feng Peining couldn’t help but sigh. The worries she had just suppressed unconsciously crept back onto her forehead: "I remember us clearly playing chess in the pavilion, but it was like in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Now, there’s still no sign of him."
