The young woman nodded slightly, her voice pleasant yet commanding:
“Thank you for your efforts, Court Leader Shangguan.”
Court Leader Shangguan let out a sigh of relief.
Standing to the side, Aunt Xue bowed and said respectfully, “Madam.”
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also showed looks of affectionate longing and called out together, “Mother…”
This woman was indeed the mother of Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.
She was also the Feather Transformation Realm True Woman of the Bai Family—Bai Qiancheng.
At the sound of “Mother,” Bai Qiancheng’s heart trembled slightly, but she still managed to maintain her composure and nodded indifferently.
Court Leader Shangguan was also taken aback.
These two children actually had a mother in the Feather Transformation Realm.
No wonder they were imbued with the special Eternal Life Rune…
“Now that the young masters and miss are safe and sound, I am relieved and will not disturb you further,” said Court Leader Shangguan with tact.
Bai Qiancheng nodded slightly.
Court Leader Shangguan then took his leave.
The room was left with only Bai Qiancheng, Bai Zisheng, Bai Zixi, and Aunt Xue.
Bai Qiancheng waved her hand gracefully, dispelling the veil covering her face, revealing a beauty that could overturn states and cities.
Similar to Bai Zixi, with skin like ice and bones like jade, a flawless appearance, and a beauty that was heart-stoppingly stunning. She only lacked a bit of Bai Zixi’s youthful naivety and had more mature, poised beauty to her, along with the dignity of the Feather Transformation Realm.
Aunt Xue’s face showed a look of shame. “Madam, I am incompetent, the Eternal Life Rune…”
Bai Qiancheng shook her head. “This is not your fault…”
A dozen or so Golden Core Demon Cultivators.
The Demon Path Saint Heir.
And… the calculations of Gui Tao’s people…
In such a situation, no one could have protected those two Eternal Life Runes.
Bai Qiancheng looked again at her twin children, her icy gaze softening slightly, and asked, “Are you all right?”
“Yes.”
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded, but they both seemed a bit restrained.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zisheng began, “Mother…”
Bai Qiancheng’s expression remained calm. “What is it?”
Bai Zisheng was somewhat hesitant. He had always been somewhat afraid of his cold mother and didn’t know how to start…
However, Bai Zixi spoke up. “Mother, please save Mo Hua.”
Bai Qiancheng’s brows furrowed. “Mo Hua?”
Aunt Xue then said, “Yes… the junior disciple taken in by Mr. Zhuang, and also the juniors’ Big Junior Brother…”
A flash of astonishment passed across Bai Qiancheng’s stunning face.
A junior disciple?
My Senior Brother actually took on a disciple?
Impossible…
How could he possibly take on another disciple?
Bai Qiancheng’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was shocked and quickly lowered her head, saying, “Mr. Zhuang, he didn’t want me to tell you…”
Bai Qiancheng paused, then her expression cleared slightly.
Her Senior Brother indeed always disliked others prying into his affairs.
Whether he took on a disciple or not, he naturally wouldn’t want her to know…
Bai Qiancheng felt somewhat conflicted. After a moment, she asked, “What happened to him?”
Bai Zixi answered, “He was… captured by Gui Tao’s people…”
Bai Zisheng nodded on the side. “He was taken because of me and Zixi. The ones they really wanted to capture were the two of us…”
Having said that, Bai Zisheng hung his head in guilt.
It seemed that he felt some self-reproach for not being able to protect his junior disciple well.
Bai Qiancheng’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Gui Tao’s people!
