Mu Lingbing called out the word "Mother" naturally, as she had repeated it countless times in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, she had always regarded her master as her mother. However, she had never dared to say it out loud. Now, she finally said it confidently, "Mother... is it really you?"
A hoarse and dry voice echoed, indicating that the other person hadn't spoken in a long time. The voice carried an indescribable dryness, but it was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "It's me! I've come back!" Mu Lingbing nodded frantically, even though Mu Jinse couldn't see her at all.
"Great, you've come back," Mu Jinse said, with a hint of movement heard from the inner chamber, as Bai Li Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing realized that Gu Jinghe's words were indeed true. Mu Jinse had truly become unable to walk.
Just as Mu Lingbing and Bai Li Hongzhuang felt that Mu Jinse was getting closer to the door of the inner chamber, Mu Jinse suddenly stopped. "Lingbing, who did you come with?" Mu Jinse had been too overwhelmed by Mu Lingbing's appearance at first and hadn't noticed the others. However, during their approach, she sensed that there was someone else beside Mu Lingbing.
"Grandmother, it's Yixuan, I'm here too," Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes shimmered with tears. Although she had never seen Mu Jinse before, she was filled with longing and admiration.
For all these years, Mu Jinse had endured so much suffering, and they had only come to know of it now.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinse in the inner chamber was visibly stunned for a moment, and then incredulously said, "Yixuan? Is it really Yixuan? You're still alive?" Mu Jinse found it hard to believe. Blue Yixuan's dantian had been forcibly destroyed, and the Rainbow Divine Bead extracted. No one had been able to heal her. How could someone like Blue Yixuan still be alive?
"Grandmother, I am fortunate to have good luck and escaped the persecution. I'm afraid... Yue Jingtian and the others never thought I would still be alive," Bai Li Hongzhuang's pitch-black eyes gleamed with a cold light. Before her appearance, everyone must have thought that Blue Yixuan was already dead. But things weren't that simple. The law of cause and effect, everything would come back around.
"Mother, this time, Yunxiao and I were able to break free from Yue Siqing's control because Hongzhuang rescued us," Mu Lingbing hurriedly said.
"What... what did you call me?" Mu Jinse didn't have time to ask before, but now she couldn't help but tremble as she heard Mu Lingbing's words.
"Mother, I know everything now. It turns out that my master who raised me since childhood is my biological mother. I'm sorry I didn't know before. It must have broken your heart," Mu Lingbing spoke while tears flowed uncontrollably. When she first learned about this from Yue Siqing, she felt the same way.
Silence filled the inner chamber as Mu Jinse seemed unsure how to face everything. She just stared blankly. In fact, everyone inside the chamber was already in tears. Mu Jinse thought she would keep this secret for her entire life. Even if she couldn't acknowledge Mu Lingbing as her daughter, being her closest master was already enough. But now, upon hearing Mu Lingbing's address, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
