“You child.” Mu Qingya slapped his hand in displeasure. “Mom has always been telling you. Your birth mother must have had her own difficulties when she abandoned you! Anyone can resent her but you.
“That is your birth mother. Child, you cannot cut these ties of blood.
“You might not remember anymore, but Mom can definitively tell you that your birth mother loved and treasured you back when she hadn’t left the Mu Clan yet. Her love for you was certainly not one bit less than Mother’s love for you.”
“Mother.” Mu Xingchen interrupted her coldly, his brows chilly.
“Fine, fine, fine. Mother won’t say any more.” Mu Qingya gave a long sigh and looked at him broodingly. “You have your own ideas and plans now that you have grown up, but Mother wants to tell you that no matter how old you are, you will always be Mother’s child. You may not like to hear some things, but Mother still hopes that you will listen.”
“I know, Mother.” Mu Xingchen nodded impassively.
Mu Qingya asked again, “Good child, why did you ask about her pregnancy just now?”
“Mother, two days ago, I… met a girl around Rouyi’s age in the Eight Barren Mountains.” Mu Xingchen quickly said, “The moment I saw her, the blood in my body started resonating uncontrollably!”
“What?” Mu Qingya widened her eyes in surprise, and joy showed on her face. “You mean that? That?”
“Mhm.” Mu Xingchen nodded affirmatively. “I suspect that she is my birth sister. The child that woman brought away from the Mu Clan.”
Mu Qingya bolted up from the bench and exclaimed agitatedly, “I, this matter, this matter is too important. I, I will go tell your father right now.”
“Wait, Mother.” Mu Xingchen also stood up and grabbed Mu Qingya’s sleeve. “There’s no rush.”
“How is there no rush?” Mu Qingya rebutted anxiously, “Do you know that even your grandpa has always been sending your seventh uncle everywhere to search for this child? I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect for her to come running over herself.”

“You truly saw your younger sister in person?” Mu Qingya looked at Mu Xingchen with bright eyes. All the gloominess had instantly vanished from her eyes.
“Mhm.” Mu Xingchen could sense his mother’s joy, and his mouth couldn’t help but curl up in a smile. “She is very beautiful. I have never seen such an exquisite and lovely girl.”
“She, is also very strong.” Mu Xingchen looked at Mu Qingya. “Mom, how about we bring her back?”
“Okay, okay, okay! Okay, okay, okay!” Mu Qingya nodded repeatedly as tears brimmed from her eyes. “You grandpa will definitely be ecstatic when he hears of this. Let’s go tell your father first. We can tell your grandpa this good news after he comes out from closed-door cultivation.”
The radiance in Mu Xingchen’s eyes dimmed. “Mother, what if she hates us?”
“How could that be?” Mu Qingya was taken aback. She quickly turned to her son. “Son, did something happen?”
A faint hatred churned in Mu Xingchen’s eyes. “It must be that woman, it’s her! She taught Younger Sister to hate us! It must be her.”
“No, it can’t be.” Mu Qingya hastily shook her hands in denial. “It must be your misunderstanding.”
