Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?
Chapter 73: Not surnamed Duanmu
Madam Duanmu looked up at Jiang Huan and shook her head. "You're only half right."
"Huh?" Jiang Huan was taken aback.
“My mother’s name is Yue Xiyin, Yue as in moon, Xi as in west, and Yin as in music. My mother said that she and her sister share the same surname, Yin…” Old Madam Duanmu said, her lowered eyes concealing her longing.
Jiang Huan opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Yue Xiyin... Yue, isn't that Master's surname?
Master is Yue Xiyin's junior sister, so isn't that her younger sister?
So, the nun has been alive all along? She lived until this century before getting married and having a daughter, and then passing on the pendant and ancient book to Old Madam Duanmu?
Yue Wuyang's eyes welled up with tears. "It really is Senior Sister! Huanhuan, ask her if her mother... is still alive?"
Logically speaking, someone this age should be deceased.
Jiang Huan asked the question as Yue Wuyang had suggested.
Upon hearing this, Madam Duanmu shook her head. "My mother disappeared after I married into the Duanmu family. I've searched for her for decades but haven't found her... She must have been reincarnated long ago!"
“Impossible!” Yue Wuyang shook her head. “Senior Sister’s cultivation is above mine. If I hadn’t… well, anyway, if Senior Sister hadn’t died back then, she definitely wouldn’t be dead now, and she would still have a long lifespan!”
Seeing her master so agitated, Jiang Huan was also moved. "Madam, your mother disappeared after you got married. So she has been missing for decades. Has she not contacted you at all during this time?"
"No." Old Madam Duanmu covered her eyes, letting tears slip through her fingers.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story," Jiang Huan said apologetically.
"It's alright." Old Madam Duanmu shook her head and wiped away her tears. "Since my mother instructed that we should hand over this pendant and ancient book to the destined person when they appear, you may take them both!"
After she finished speaking, Old Madam Duanmu's eyes were filled with longing, but even more so with a sense of relief.
Because finally, I can finally unload this responsibility that I've carried for most of my life.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Huan took the pendant and the ancient book and said, "Madam, if the Duanmu family needs me in the future, you can send someone to find me. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help the Duanmu family."
After all, this was something Master wanted in order to find Master's whereabouts.
As her disciple, she naturally had to repay the favors her master owed!
"Mm." Madam Duanmu nodded. "I'm a little tired, so I won't see you off."
"Goodbye, Madam!" Jiang Huan stood up and bowed respectfully to the old lady. "Please keep my recovery a secret, Madam, considering that Master Duanmu and my grandfather knew each other."
Madam Duanmu nodded again, "I'm already quite old, and I want to accumulate more good karma for myself, so naturally I won't say anything."
"Thank you, Madam!"
After saying that, Jiang Huan put the ancient book and pendant in her pocket and left the room with Ling Siye.
Yue Wuyang took a good look at Old Madam Duanmu's back before leaving.
Just after Jiang Huan and the others left, Old Madam Duanmu went over to the bedside, opened the bedside table, and took out a photo frame from inside.
Inside the frame is a photograph, a picture of her and her mother, Yue Xiyin.
If an outsider were to see them, they would probably think they were sisters, because they are both young, look alike, and are both so dignified and elegant.
"Mother, I know you are no ordinary person, and I have done what you asked of me back then. I have given the things to those who were destined to receive them... But Mother, when will you be able to come back? I want to see you one last time before I leave this world..."
As she spoke, Old Madam Duanmu hugged the photo frame and sobbed.
In fact, she had known for a long time that her biological mother was different from others.
Whether she was just old enough to understand things or when she got married, her mother still looked the same.
Many people say that her mother had undergone expensive cosmetic procedures.
In fact, only she, her closest relative, knew that her mother never had any cosmetic procedures. Her mother was just like that, never aging, and never suffering from illness or pain... She was no ordinary person!
……
Jiang Huan's side.
She didn't want Duanmu Lin's money; she only said she wanted to go home quickly and then stopped talking to him.
Duanmu Lin wanted to ask his mother what they had talked about in the room, but his mother was too busy grieving to pay any attention to him.
With no other option, he had to continue going to the company to handle his business.
However, he didn't know that Yue Wuyang was standing in the front yard of the Duanmu family's house, counting on her fingers.
Finally, she used magic to change the feng shui of the Duanmu family and also changed Duanmu Lin's fate.
Originally, Duanmu Lin was destined to have no wife and no children.
This change cost Yue Wuyang a lot of effort, but it also led to Duanmu Lin finding a good match soon after, getting married and having children, thus ensuring the continuation of the Duanmu family bloodline.
This is her way of thanking her senior for taking care of her back then.
After doing all this, she did not return to the Jiang family, but went to Jinpeng Mountain alone.
She had just helped someone defy fate, which severely disrupted her inner energy. She now needed to recover as soon as possible.
……
After a while.
When Jiang Huan returned home, she was a little flustered to find that her master was not with her.
She was worried that her master was still at the Duanmu family's place and that he might not know the way back.
"What's wrong?" Ling Siye noticed the anxiety on her face and asked in confusion.
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Huan shook her head, "No, it's nothing..."
Even if she told him, Ling Siyue would still find it hard to believe.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
After saying that, she went straight upstairs, locked the door, and then took out the ancient books and pendants and put them on the table to study.
Although she didn't know where her master had gone, if she could figure out what secrets the pendant held, her master wouldn't have to rack his brains when he returned!
Jiang Huan picked up the pendant and examined it under the light for a long time. She discovered that the pendant was made of mutton fat jade and contained spiritual energy.
No, it should be said that there is a magic array formed by the convergence of spiritual energy inside.
No wonder Madam Duanmu said that the pendant was given to her by her aunt to protect her. It turns out that it has a protective magic array that can withstand a single fatal danger.
The fact that the magic array is still intact indicates that the old lady has not encountered anything serious.
She needed to figure out another use for the pendant as soon as possible, and then return it to the old lady quickly...
Since she couldn't figure out the pendant using ordinary methods, she simply channeled her inner energy into it.
I never expected it to actually work!
The pendant emitted light.
After a flash of white light, Jiang Huan saw a phantom appear in front of him.
The illusory figure seemed to be able to see Jiang Huan.
"The person destined to meet you is actually a little girl, how interesting..."
The illusory figure in front of her, like Jiang Huan's master, was dressed in antique-style clothes and had a beautiful appearance.
"You...you can talk to me?" Jiang Huan narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively.
