Outside the city, she might be able to find some traces of Yu Er…
Wenren Wan silently made up her mind.
If she couldn’t find him in a month, she would search for a month.
If not in a year, then for a year.
If a year wasn’t enough, she would search for ten years, a hundred years, until her lifespan was exhausted.
“I must find Yu Er, alive and well…”
The last four words she dared not even consider, she was afraid of seeing Yu Er’s cold, lifeless little face, afraid to know that the child she cherished was no more…
This was even more unbearable than suffering death herself as a mother.
Wenren Wan only felt a piercing pain in her chest.
The carriage left the Gu Family, passed through the main streets, went by the market town, and after two hours, it neared the city gate.
Wenren Wan was so intent on heading out of the city that she didn’t notice, by the city gate, at a noodle stall, two little Cultivators were slurping noodles with gusto.
And Mo Hua and Yu Er, who had waited for several days, hungry and tired, busy eating their noodles, also didn’t notice that a low-key yet luxurious carriage was silently making its way towards the city gate…
Noise at the city gate was ceaseless, with an endless stream of carriages and horses.
As they crossed paths and each went their separate ways, Wenren Wan suddenly felt a jolt.
For an instant, as if connected by mother and child, she felt that her son was near, even very close to her…
But she knew that Yu Er was no longer by her side…
Her sensible, well-behaved son, now in the hands of who knew whom, his fate between life and death unknown, and it was uncertain whether he suffered mistreatment and torment.
Wenren Wan’s heart ached even more.
The carriage continued towards the outskirts of the city.
But as the carriage moved further away, Wenren Wan’s heart grew increasingly uneasy, and at times, she had a premonition.
It was as if with every passing moment she was getting further away from Yu Er, and once she passed through this city gate…
She would be eternally separated from her son.
She might never see him again in this lifetime!
A Cultivator’s premonitions do not arise without reason.
Wenren Wan’s heart was seized with panic.
She immediately said, “Stop the carriage!”
The carriage halted, and she quickly got out, looking around in confusion. After a long while, her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a noodle stall in the distance…
Wenren Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
At the noodle stall, there were two little Cultivators.
One was a bit older, with eyebrows like paintings, his demeanor pure and gentle.
The other was very young, about four or five years old, bearing a strong resemblance to her own Yu Er…
Wenren Wan’s heart trembled, and she almost couldn’t catch her breath.
She wanted to speak, but she was so overwhelmed with emotion that she could not find her voice…
Mo Hua, who was eating noodles, suddenly felt a shift in his Divine Sense and realized he was being watched. He looked up and saw a beautiful and elegant woman in the distance, her face streaked with tears, looking at him incredulously.
This woman was both strange and somehow familiar to him.
Mo Hua had never met her but had some vague impressions in the recesses of karma.
Mo Hua had a sudden realization, then patted Yu Er, who sat beside him.
Yu Er, mimicking Mo Hua, was burying his head in noodles when Mo Hua’s gesture caught his attention. Looking into the distance, his little face froze, and his chopsticks clattered to the ground.
Yu Er’s eyes also filled with tears in an instant.
“Mother…”
The surroundings were noisy, but that call of “Mother” was clearly heard by Wenren Wan.
The immense joy of regaining what was lost made it hard for her to breathe.
Her tears blurred her vision, preventing her from seeing Yu Er clearly, but she still ran towards Yu Er without a second thought.
She seemed to forget she was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, that she possessed cultivation. She only remembered that she was the mother of a child.
Yu Er, with tears streaming down his face, moved his short legs towards her…
The two embraced each other.
Even though her eyes were filled with tears and she couldn’t see Yu Er’s face clearly, Wenren Wan still held Yu Er tightly in her arms without reservation.
She was afraid to let go.
She feared that once she let go, her child would vanish again.
Even in a dream, she wished it could last longer so that her child could stay in her embrace a little more…
…
Yu Er and his mother embraced each other, both crying.
Mo Hua nodded contentedly.
Although it was a combination of luck and calculated guesses, it seems his “calculations” were quite accurate.
Now that Yu Er had found his mother, he should be safe.
Mo Hua felt at ease.
Next, he could head to the Qian Learning State Boundary to pay his respects at the Qian Taoist Sect!
