The faint sadness on Bei Mingye's face dissipated, but he still rejected Mu Qingli: "I know you are just trying to make me happy, but I am not someone who ignores the overall situation. Let me take you on the rest of the way."

Bei Mingye gently tugged at Mu Qingli's arm and pulled her into his arms. He passed by like a gust of wind and disappeared into Mu Qingli's dormitory.

Bei Mingye brought Mu Qingli to Gongsun Cheng's courtyard in the blink of an eye. Mu Qingli blinked her eyes. She thought she was going to climb over the wall.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the corner of the wall, and a head popped out from the other side of the wall.

It’s Mu Qingchen.

Only when one reaches the spiritual sect can one fly with a sword, so Mu Qingchen had to climb over the wall to get in. This was also the reason why he was somewhat opposed to Mu Qingli coming here before.

My sister is a delicate girl, how could she climb over the wall?

Mu Qingli waved towards Mu Qingchen and whispered, "Brother! You are finally here."

Mu Qingchen thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect his sister to have arrived earlier. He nimbly climbed down from the wall and came to his sister.

The night was very dark and he did not notice that his sister was holding hands with the man next to her.

"Who is this?"

Mu Qingchen glanced at Bei Mingye, and after confirming that he had never seen the person in front of him, he asked a question.

"Brother, his name is Bei Ming Ye, and he saved me once."

Mu Qingli told a white lie. If she hadn't said that, her brother would not have let down his guard.

Mu Qingchen was relieved when he heard this. He clasped his fists towards Mu Qingchen and said, "Thank you for saving my sister. If you need me in the future, I, Mu Qingchen, will definitely not refuse!"

Bei Mingye nodded slightly, looking very calm, but his hand, which was shaking with Mu Qingli's, was sweating from nervousness.

"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a small favor. Li'er and I have known each other for a long time and we have a good relationship."

Mu Qingchen didn't think much about it, and looked at Mu Qingli and asked, "Li'er, has he taken the pill?"

Mu Qingchen knew that his sister had brought someone here, which meant that the person was trustworthy, and he was not shy about saying anything in front of this person.

Mu Qingli nodded: "Brother, it was Bei Mingye who helped me this time. I definitely couldn't do it alone."

Mu Qingli tried hard to gain Bei Mingye's favor in front of her brother, and Mu Qingchen was indeed very satisfied.

"Thanks, brother!"

Mu Qingchen patted Bei Mingye's shoulder, and Bei Mingye was so scared that he immediately let go of Mu Qingli's hand.

Mu Qingli looked at Bei Mingye with some amusement, but Bei Mingye seemed very serious at this time, trying very hard to maintain his image.

"Come on, let's go in quickly before the medicine wears off."

Mu Qingli urged the two to push the door open quickly. In order to protect Mu Qingli's eyes, Bei Mingye and Mu Qingchen walked in first. Only when they saw that Gongsun Cheng's clothes were intact did they let Mu Qingli in.

Mu Qingli asked without saying anything.

"Gongsun Cheng, you visited Mu Qingli today and said you knew something about her mother. What was that news?"

Gongsun Cheng, who was originally unconscious, started moving his mouth after hearing the sound.

"Her mother is not from here. She once gave my father a pill. That pill was of extremely high quality and could never be made by the alchemists here."

Mu Qingli and Mu Qingchen exchanged a glance, and Mu Qingchen immediately spoke up, "Why would she give your father the elixir? Can you conclude she's not from here just based on a single elixir?"

The unconscious Gongsun Cheng seemed to be recalling something, and only answered after a few seconds.

“Because she didn’t have any healing pills, and my father had some, she used other pills to exchange for them.

I originally thought the pills were just a coincidence, but I overheard her and her husband chatting and accidentally revealed that she wasn't from here."

Mu Qingli frowned. His parents had been missing for a long time. Where did he hear this conversation?

Mu Qingli thought about it and asked.

"Your parents came to my country on behalf of Tianlin Country at the Four-Nation Exchange Conference. I was having fun at the time and overheard it."

The questioning probably ended here. Mu Qingli knew that he couldn't get anything out of it, so he stopped paying attention to Gongsun Cheng.

Mu Qingchen did the same, and the two decided to go back first.

This time, the three of them walked out of the main gate and went directly to Mu Qingchen's dormitory.

Mu Qingchen sat down, feeling that he hadn't heard any useful information today: "Li'er, what do you think?"

Mu Qingli knew what her brother was asking and expressed her guess: "Mother might have come from the other side of the sea."

Mu Qingchen nodded, he thought so too.

Mu Qingli didn't have much contact with her mother and didn't even know her mother's name, so she asked her brother for information.

Mu Qingchen fell into memories, and said softly, "Mother is very, very beautiful. Like Li'er, she also has a very gentle voice. Every time she goes out with father, she always says goodbye to us gently.

I only remember my mother's name was Tang Xirou, and I can't remember anything more."

Bei Mingye, who was pretending to be a statue, had a look of surprise on his face when he heard Tang Xirou's name.

Mu Qingli didn't miss it and immediately asked, "Have you heard of this name?"

Bei Mingye nodded: "I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's the same person. The one I know is named Tangxi. I don't know how to write those three characters for your mother."

Mu Qingli looked at Mu Qingchen, but saw that he slowly shook his head.

A look of disappointment flashed across Mu Qingchen's face. He didn't even know what the three characters of his mother's name were.

"I've only heard of my mother's name, but I don't know what the three characters are."

Mu Qingli didn't say much, but she felt that having a clue was much better than knowing nothing before.

"Can you tell me about the one you know?"

Mu Qingli didn't want to miss any information, just in case his mother really was the one.

Bei Mingye thought about it, but he didn’t know much information, so he only told what he knew.

Tang Xirou is the eldest daughter of Tangxi Palace, one of the four major forces, no, now it should be said that she is one of the five major forces. It is said that she disappeared twenty years ago and there has been no news of her since then.

Bei Mingye felt that he had not helped Mu Qingli, so he wanted his subordinates to investigate.

But Mu Qingli stopped him: "Don't bother them. I'll find out more about it when I get there."

Bei Ming Ye did not continue to interfere. He saw that Mu Qingchen seemed to have something to say to Mu Qingli, so he left tactfully.

As soon as Bei Mingye left, Mu Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "Li'er, who is he? He's not from here, right? Why was he able to enter the academy?"
