The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Upon seeing Wang Yuyan's appearance, coupled with her own speculations, Li Qiushui's heart trembled violently, and she also became somewhat excited.

If her guess was correct, she would see her daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years.

However, Ling Feng had been fighting with Li Qiushui all along, so her changes naturally did not escape his notice.

Ling Feng noticed that she kept staring at the door, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it.

He thought Li Qiushui was excited because she saw a chance to escape.

In fact, Ling Feng really hoped that she could escape as soon as possible.

After all, this person can neither be killed nor left alive, because that would be a big problem.

Therefore, he not only intended to let her leave, but also to create opportunities for her to leave.

After exchanging more than ten blows, Ling Feng subtly revealed a weakness, and was knocked back several steps by Li Qiushui's attack.

Of course, in order to prevent Li Qiushui from taking the opportunity to make trouble for Tong Lao, Ling Feng deliberately chose to retreat in the direction of Tong Lao, so as to prevent Li Qiushui from taking advantage of the situation.

As expected, Li Qiushui did not miss this rare opportunity.

Seeing Ling Feng retreat towards Tong Lao, she secretly thought to herself that things were not going well. She knew that she would have no chance to make a move against Tong Lao today, so she could only temporarily suppress her thoughts of revenge.

However, her gaze never left the girl who looked remarkably like herself.

She was filled with doubts. Who was this girl? And what was her relationship with her daughter, whom she hadn't seen in a long time?

Taking advantage of Ling Feng's unsteady footing, she leaped backward and ran towards the door.

As she passed by Wang Yuyan and her two companions, she grabbed Wang Yuyan without hesitation and flew out of the main hall with her.

Wang Yuyan and the other two girls were watching this good show with great interest, completely unaware that they would become part of this farce.

Their eyes widened in astonishment, and they were completely at a loss.

Ling Feng discovered that Wang Yuyan had been kidnapped. He was extremely anxious and immediately flew after her, shouting as he did so:

"You all protect Granny Tong! I'm going to rescue people first!"

After saying that, he vanished outside the door in a flash.

The others inside the room came to their senses upon hearing Ling Feng's shouts.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, they immediately took action and surrounded the old woman.

Ling Feng chased after her outside, only to find that Li Qiushui's figure had already disappeared into the distance.

He looked in the direction Li Qiushui had left, and his heart tightened.

That is the only way to Lingjiu Palace—the cliffside cableway.

He chased after her without hesitation, because Wang Yuyan was still in her hands, and he certainly couldn't let her escape.

However, when Ling Feng caught up with Li Qiushui to the cliffside cableway, he found that she had already disappeared.

He looked around, his brow furrowed.

Li Qiushui, after all, also knew the Lingbo Weibu, a top-tier light-foot skill, and was extremely fast.

Moreover, she was more familiar with the environment, which enabled her to shake off Ling Feng.

Ling Feng stood beside the cliffside cable car, at a loss for what to do, unsure of which direction to pursue.

But at this moment, he was no longer as anxious as before.

As he chased after them, he gradually calmed down.

At the same time, he was also certain that Wang Yuyan would not encounter any danger.

If it were anyone else, Ling Feng wouldn't dare to be so certain, but he was confident in Wang Yuyan.

Given Wang Yuyan's relationship with Li Qiushui, she probably wouldn't hurt her.

Moreover, it's hard to say whether this was a stroke of luck for Wang Yuyan.

After all, their relationship was anything but ordinary.

Now that they had lost all trace, Ling Feng could only return first and then make further plans.

Although he was still somewhat worried, he knew he couldn't panic at this moment.

Only by calming down can we come up with a better way to find Wang Yuyan.

When Ling Feng returned, everyone saw that he had come back alone. Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Brother Feng, where's Yu Yan? Why didn't you save her?"

Both of them wore anxious expressions, their hearts filled with worry for Wang Yuyan's safety.

"Sigh, by the time I chased after them, they had already run far away. By the time I reached the cliffside cable car, I had completely lost track of them."

Ling Feng sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Oh no, what should we do? Yu Yan has fallen into the hands of that bad guy, she's in danger!"

Zhong Ling said anxiously, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"It's alright, Yu Yan should be safe for the time being."

Ling Feng comforted her, saying he believed Li Qiushui wouldn't harm Wang Yuyan; after all, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub.

Just then, Granny Tong emerged from the crowd. She approached Ling Feng, looked at him sharply, and asked:

"Ling boy, judging from your expression, does that girl have some kind of relationship with that bitch?"

Her voice carried a hint of doubt and certainty.

Ling Feng didn't hide anything from her, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, as you've probably noticed, Yu Yan and she look about six or seven points alike. In fact, she is Yu Yan's maternal grandmother."

"What! How is this possible?"

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, both Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing looked surprised and exclaimed in unison, clearly astonished by the news.

They stared wide-eyed at Ling Feng in disbelief, as if waiting for him to offer further explanation.

However, the old woman did not show much surprise; instead, she appeared quite calm.

Perhaps because she had already guessed it beforehand, she didn't find Ling Feng's words too abrupt.

After all, Wang Yuyan and Li Qiushui have too many similarities in appearance, making it hard not to draw parallels.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Ling Feng nodded again, his tone resolute:

"Yes, that is an absolute fact. She is indeed Yu Yan's maternal grandmother, there is no doubt about that."

Hearing Ling Feng's confident answer, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing exchanged a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Their previously tense nerves finally relaxed.

Although they were shocked by the sudden news, they felt a sense of relief knowing that Wang Yuyan's grandmother would not harm her.

Then, the Child Granny waved her hand, signaling everyone from the Nine Heavens and Ten Departments to leave.

These people immediately obeyed and left, leaving the space to Tong Lao, Ling Feng, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing.

After they had all left, Granny Tong looked at Ling Feng seriously and asked:

"Young Ling, could you tell me more about that girl's mother?"

The old woman's sudden inquiry about Li Qingluo's situation caught Ling Feng somewhat off guard.

However, he quickly realized that he couldn't avoid it after all!

But he hesitated only for a moment before nodding and saying:

"There's no point in hiding it, actually my godmother..."

Ling Feng then told her in detail about Li Qingluo's experiences.

Some of the information was what Li Qingluo had told Ling Feng, while others were things he had guessed from the original story. Ling Feng told him everything, down to the smallest detail.

It wasn't that he lacked vigilance, but rather that he believed the Old Woman wouldn't cause trouble for Li Qingluo.

Furthermore, even if she doesn't say anything, if the Old Woman wants to investigate, she can easily find out.

The reason we didn't investigate before was simply because we didn't know where the person was. Now that I'm here, I can find out with just a little inquiry.

So instead of waiting for the old woman to investigate herself, it's better to take the initiative and tell her.
