Wanbao Lady

In the Yuxia Waterway.

Qin Lingshan huddled to one side like a quail, her ears red.

It's not shameful, but painful.

She secretly rubbed her ears with a grin, and looked carefully at her mother and the female guard.

In the dead silence, the boat swayed to Luoxia Town.

Seeing that the boat was about to go upstream to Luohua Town, Qin Lingshan suddenly said, "Boatman, please wait a moment!"

Madam Qin immediately gave him a deathly look.

"What else do you want to do?"

Qin Lingshan smiled awkwardly, "I have a friend in Luoxia Town. I made an appointment with him. I will go find him when I get down the mountain and tell him about what happened after I went up the mountain."

She clasped her hands together pitifully, "Please, I'll go back with you after this."

Mrs. Qin looked at her steadily and asked, "Where does your friend live?"

"The land temple is right inside the land temple!"

Mrs. Qin was startled.

Land temple?

She suddenly remembered that a year ago when she was going to take her daughter away from Luoxia Town, she also said that she was going to the land temple to say goodbye to her friends.

She followed him.

But my daughter just kept talking to herself in the air.

He looked reluctant to leave.

She knew that her daughter had a pair of eyes that were different from those of ordinary people and could see things that ordinary people could not see.

Ever since she met the ghost woman, she has become even more convinced of such things.

I think the friend my daughter was talking about should be the fox ghost she mentioned before!

"Since this is an appointment with a friend, I can't stop you, lest you break your promise. But remember, if you do anything weird again, when you go back... hehe!"

Qin Lingshan quickly shook her head.

"No more, no more."

So, when passing Luoxia Town, the three of them got off the boat and went to the land temple.

In a corner of the land temple.

After telling Hu Ling about her experience, especially when Empress Wanbao said that as long as she got her mother's consent, she could let her enter the sect, Hu Ling was very happy for her.

"That's great, Lingshan, congratulations! You will become a top disciple of the immortal sect in the future!"

Hu Ling wagged his tail.

"Hahaha, no, no, I'm just a nominal disciple. I guess I'll have to pass an assessment before I can officially become the Empress's disciple!"

Outside the gate, Mrs. Qin secretly wiped the cold sweat off her forehead as she watched her daughter talking and laughing to the air.

By the time the three of them returned to the embroidery shop in Luohua Town, it was already night.

-

In Mrs. Qin's bedroom.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

There were only mother and daughter in the bedroom, and almost everyone else had gone to rest.

Qin Lingshan said mysteriously: "Don't get too excited about what I'm going to say later."

Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at her.

"What haven't I experienced? Tell me now!"

Qin Lingshan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Do you know about Lady Wanbao on Yudu Mountain? She has agreed to accept me as a registered disciple!"

silence.

Deathly silence.

After a while, Mrs. Qin touched Qin Lingshan's head with a serious face, "Are you sick?"

Qin Lingshan:......

"I'm not sick! What I said is true! But there is one condition. The Queen said I have to ask for your consent!"

Then she narrated everything that happened after she went up the mountain.

The more Mrs. Qin listened, the more surprised she looked, and then all the surprise turned into solemnity.

"It's bad! He's seriously ill!"

Qin Lingshan fell backwards.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth! Why don't you believe me?"

Seeing her daughter's angry look, Madam Qin said calmly, "I believe you when you say there are ghosts in the world, but I don't believe you when you say the Immortal Lady wants to take you as her apprentice."

During this period of time, she had also heard of the name of Queen Wanbao.

I know that she is a goddess with great magical powers and a kind heart.

Many families now worship his statue.

It’s just that as embroiderers, they have always been worshipping the needlework lady.

"Why?" Qin Lingshan was puzzled.

"Don't I know what you look like? If you don't get beaten up for three days, how can the queen be interested in you?"

Are you sure this is your biological mother?

Qin Lingshan hugged her head in pain.

"Are you sure that with my level of ability, I can make up such a story to deceive you?"

Listening to Qin Lingshan's wailing, Mrs. Qin thought for a while and shook her head.

"Indeed, with your level, you really don't have the brains to make up such a story. And I don't think you have the guts to tease me with such a thing!"

Qin Lingshan:......

"So, this is true?" Mrs. Qin was suspicious.

"What else?" Looking at her daughter's resentful eyes, Mrs. Qin finally believed it.

Then she covered her mouth in surprise.

"The Immortal Lady said she wants to take you as her disciple?"

"Yes! But let me correct you. He is only a nominal disciple."

Looking at her daughter's smug expression, Mrs. Qin almost jumped up without caring about her image.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! May our ancestors bless you!"

She clasped her hands together and bowed towards the four directions, looking even happier than Qin Lingshan.

Qin Lingshan was stunned for a moment.

No, why do you look happier than me?

Then she asked cautiously: "You, don't object?"

But I heard my mother say, "Why should I object?"

Qin Lingshan hesitated, "Because you... haven't always..."

"You want to say that I have always been against you learning martial arts, and have been forcing you to embroider so that you can inherit the embroidery shop in the future?"

Qin Lingshan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Haha, silly child," Madam Qin nodded her head, "When you learned martial arts before, you always wanted to become a female general. But this road is not easy to walk!"

As she said this she sighed.

"Mom is an experienced person, she knows how difficult it is for women in this world."

Mrs. Qin had a nostalgic look on her face.

"When your grandfather passed away, I was heartbroken and fell ill due to excessive grief. Your father used sweet words to ask me to hand over the business to him. I thought that we had been in love for so many years and he always agreed with me. He was also quite capable, so I agreed."

Then her expression suddenly changed, and she said sternly: "Who knew that those were just his disguises!"

She gnashed her teeth and said, "How dare he secretly hide it from me, team up with outsiders, and take over the business! He also divorced me on the grounds that I have no children!"

Tears gradually appeared in Mrs. Qin's eyes.

"It turns out that he felt it was shameful for him to be a live-in son-in-law and he never loved me! He obeyed me in everything just to make me let down my guard so that he could take over the family business from me!"

Madam Qin wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said angrily:

"Fortunately, I still have a private vault that I haven't told him about, so my mother and I won't have to starve. I also bought this place and opened an embroidery shop."

She squatted in front of Qin Lingshan and touched her head gently.

"In order to run this embroidery shop, I have been exposed to the public, suffered so much, and endured so much pain! I am just a small female businessman, and this is how difficult it is for you to choose the path of a warrior and become a female general! You may even lose your life!"

"So I thought, why don't you just inherit my legacy? You can live a peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing."

Looking at her daughter's red eyes, Mrs. Qin wiped her tears.

"Besides, mother has come to terms with it. If you meet a sincere person in the future, that's fine. If not, you can just stay by my side and be an old girl. This embroidery shop can support you for the rest of your life."

"But things are different now," Mrs. Qin smiled with tears in her eyes, her tone full of pride, "My son can become a disciple of an immortal, and he will surely soar to the sky in the future! How could I stop you?"
