Xu Zisheng, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded.

Second Miss?

Who are you calling?

It’s not him…

Jiang Liqian, who was excitedly called by the middle-aged man, just looked at him coldly and indifferently, waved her sleeves to sweep the dust on the tombstone, and turned away.

The middle-aged man didn't expect her to leave without saying a word. He was dumbfounded and immediately blocked her way again anxiously, constantly gesturing. Finally, he simply put his face in front of her: "Second Miss, I am Uncle Li, Housekeeper Li. Take a closer look at me, can you remember?"

Jiang Liqian didn't look at him, but frowned slightly in impatience.

"I don't know you, please move aside."

Uncle Li didn't believe it. Even though she was still young at that time, the model was there. She looked 80% like the lady. Moreover, the tomb here was Hua Sanniang's tomb. Who else could come here to pay tribute to her except the second lady and him, the housekeeper who was ordered by the lady?

"Second Miss, I'm Uncle Li. Think about it again. When we were little, your Aunt Zhang and I often took you out to play and bought you delicious cakes. Don't you remember? And Madam, she has always hoped that the Second Miss would come back one day. She misses her every day and night!"

Xu Zisheng saw that what he said was convincing and his expression did not seem fake. Although he did not know what was going on, he still stepped forward and whispered to Jiang Liqian: "Otherwise, let's ask about this matter clearly, so that he won't pester you and cause big trouble."

Jiang Liqian didn't even glance at him and directly refused: "No, if I say no, then it's no."

Then he walked around him and prepared to return to the world of cultivation.

Almost immediately, Xu Zisheng understood that she did know this Uncle Li, and it was very likely that she was really a Second Young Miss.

but--

Isn't her mother here? In the tomb... Where did this lady come from?

Could it be that she was actually born to a concubine of some immortal cultivation family, and her biological mother is buried here?

But something still seems wrong...

But he couldn't think so much now. Seeing Jiang Liqian was about to go away, he hurried to catch up.

Uncle Li also wants to pursue her. This time, he finally reunites with the second young lady, and he can't let her go no matter what, otherwise he doesn't know when he will see her again!

But before giving chase, he used a sound transmission talisman to tell his wife and the head of the family the good news that "the second young lady had been found".

However, just as his sound transmission talisman was lit up and he hadn't uttered a single word, a ray of purple light suddenly struck him and shattered the talisman into pieces.

He looked up in surprise and saw a pair of eyes as black as ink, looking at him very coldly, with silent threats in their silence.

For a moment, he even smelled the smell of blood in the air.

After just a moment of hesitation, the two figures disappeared.

Uncle Li came back to his senses, patted his head in annoyance, and cursed himself inwardly, as if he had been kicked by a donkey when he went out. The second young lady has been considerate and kind since she was a child, and never makes things difficult for others. Even though she is still a small girl and can hardly walk steadily, she can already understand them, the servants, and she always has a warm smile on her face no matter who she meets.

Why did he feel that the second young lady was scary at that moment?

It must be because she has suffered too much outside over the years and has not been home for too long, so she is so distant from him.

As long as the Second Young Lady returns home, she will become the Second Young Lady she used to be.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to take out two more talismans and send messages to the head of the family and his wife. He wanted to send one to the young master as well, but when he remembered the head of the family's instructions not to disturb the young master's training in the sect, he gave up.

After a while, he finished the message and wanted to leave, but his feet kicked the gold ingots and paper money that had just been scattered on the ground. After thinking about it, he bent down to pick them all up, walked back, and burned these things for Sanniang one by one in front of her grave.

He looked at the tombstone that had been eroded by time, sighed deeply, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

"Sanniang, I knew you loved the Second Young Miss the most. Ever since the Second Young Miss was born, you've been by her side, taking care of her. No matter what happens, you always take good care of her. Madam wasn't wrong about you, and the Second Young Miss wasn't wrong about you..."

"Okay, okay..." He couldn't help wiping his eyes with his sleeves. The golden ingots turned into ashes in the flames and were blown away by the wind.

"I had given up hope. I just kept thinking of your love and burning some paper for you, thinking that maybe it was the grave that the Second Miss built for you. If she were still alive, she would definitely come back to see you. Sure enough, sure enough...God will reward those who work hard!"

"Sanniang, rest in peace. The Jiang family is no longer the same as it once was. Looking across the entire cultivation world, no one dares to bully us anymore. Now that the Second Miss has returned to her roots, the catastrophe that befell our family three years ago will never happen again..."

-

Returning to Jingyuetan, Jiang Liqian stood by the pond for a long time, wanting to ask Old Man Tan Yue something, but she had a hunch that he would not tell her. The answer she wanted and the words she wanted to ask circled around her lips twice before she swallowed them.

Never mind, the answer isn't really that important.

She saw Xu Zishen coming out from the corner of her eye. For the first time, she looked at him properly from head to toe.

Xu Zisheng felt uneasy when he saw her looking at him.

"What, what's wrong with me?"

Jiang Liqian shook her head and suddenly asked him, "I'm going back to the sect. What are your plans next?"

Xu Zisheng's eyes lit up.

Was this an invitation to join him? She was indeed a disciple of some immortal sect. If that was the case, he would definitely come along.

"It doesn't matter which sect you choose to become a disciple, so why don't I come with you? Which sect are you from?"

Jiang Liqian turned around and walked towards Youlanhua Sea.

"Qiankun Sect."

Xu Zisheng nodded: "Oh, Qiankun Sect."

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes gradually widened into bells, and his mouth opened unconsciously.

"You, you, you, what did you just say? Which sect are you from?"

Qiankun Sect?

Did he hear it correctly?

That is the number one sect for cultivating immortals. All the disciples there have extraordinary talents. It is the dream sect that many people want to join. How could he just casually get into one of them?

Jiang Liqian didn't even turn her head and repeated: "Qiankun Sect."

Xu Zisheng took a breath.

But then he thought, she was so powerful, she fought against a Jindan expert alone and actually knocked him down. He didn't believe that such strength must be from the Qiankun Sect.

"Then," he chased after her without stopping, and asked cautiously, "Are you an outer disciple or an inner disciple? Can disciples of the Qiankun Sect easily leave the sect? Are all the disciples of the Qiankun Sect as powerful as you, so that you dare to roam the world of cultivation alone?"
