Chapter 118 The Legend of Sword and Fairy Qing'er 16

Mo Yixi felt an inexplicable chill on his back. He believed that if he did not agree to Baiyue's conditions, he would really hurt Xin'er.

After struggling for a long time, Mo Yixi chose to compromise and agreed to Baiyue's conditions.

After he made a vow to the Heavenly Dao that he would never set foot in Nanzhao and would never appear in front of Qing'er during his lifetime, worshiping the moon made people feel relieved.

Having settled his worry, Baiyue turned around and left.

When Mo Yixi saw that the people from the Moon Worship Sect had left the inn with Baiyue, he was afraid that Baiyue would use Xin'er to threaten him again, so he planned to take Xin'er back to Central Plains.

Xin'er agreed to go home with Mo Yixi on the surface, but she left a letter on the way and secretly returned to southern Xinjiang.

Mo Yixi chased to the outskirts of Nanzhao, but was anxious because of his previous oath and could not set foot there.

Xin'er returned to Nanzhao and waited outside the orphanage for a few days, and finally waited for Qing'er.

She staged a self-torture trick on Qing'er's way home, pretending to be a girl who was separated from her family.

Sure enough, Qing'er felt compassion when she saw Xin'er crying alone and helpless. When she learned that she was accidentally separated from her father, she promised to help her find her relatives.

Qing'er asked the guards around her to help Xin'er find her father, and she took Xin'er to the inn to wait.

While waiting, Qing'er asked Xin'er, "I see you are dressed like someone from the Central Plains, why did you come to Nanzhao?"

Xin'er looked at Qing'er with complicated eyes.

Just as Qing'er felt that this look seemed familiar, Xin'er lowered her eyes and said, "My mother is from Nanzhao. When my father and mother returned to Nanzhao to visit relatives, they had an accident and my mother was seriously injured and died. My father has not dared to set foot in Nanzhao for many years. This year, I had to persuade my father to bring me here to worship my mother, but...but..."

When Xin'er said this, tears flowed down her fair cheeks.

Seeing Xin'er crying, Qing'er felt a little sad. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Xin'er, comforting her: "Don't be sad, the past is gone, and the living should live well with this longing. Don't just indulge in sadness."

Seeing that she had misunderstood her meaning, Xin'er wiped away her tears and shook her head.

"I'm not crying because of this. It's because I saw my mother in Nanzhao who should have died many years ago. She has remarried and has completely forgotten about me and my father."

"Ah?" Qing'er raised her hand to cover her lips in surprise. She didn't expect that the little girl in front of her would have such a tragic experience.

Seeing Xin'er's sad look, Qing'er hesitated and made an excuse for her mother.

"Or... maybe she has her own reasons?"

Xin'er glanced at her, sniffed, and continued, "Yes! She had an accident in the past and lost all her memories. Madam, do you think I should talk to her and clarify things?"

After Qing'er heard what she said, her heart skipped a beat. Why was what she said so similar to her own experience?

I thought of the complicated look in the eyes of the person who broke in that day when he left, and the implicit meaning of the girl's words.

Qing'er's mind went blank. "You..."

She was about to ask further questions, but the appearance of the guards made her take back the words in time.

"Ma'am, we didn't find anyone."

"If you can't find any, keep looking. I'll take this girl home first."

Qing'er pulled Xin'er and wanted to take her back to Baiyue Sect as soon as possible to have a face-to-face discussion with Baiyue.

But Ke Xin'er pried her hands apart, took a step back, and looked determined.

"Ma'am, I'm not going anywhere. If you want to find me, just come here!"

Qing'er left the inn feeling somewhat confused.

She knew she had lost her previous memories, and she had been curious about it before, but Baiyue said that both her parents had died and she was an orphan, and no one had come to look for her.

Qing'er thought about it and it made sense. If there were other people at home, why wouldn't they come to see her?

Since then, she no longer had any doubts about what happened in the past.

Now two people suddenly appeared, claiming to be her husband and child.

Qing'er thought that one of Baiyue and Xin'er who suddenly appeared must have lied.

As for Xin'er who suddenly appeared, Qing'er still trusted Baiyue more, but Xin'er's words still left a mark in her heart.

Qing'er returned home in a daze, and went to bed early at night to avoid being noticed by the moon worshippers.

The next day, Qing'er got up, washed quickly and rushed to the inn.

Xin'er got up early in the morning and waited at the inn. When she saw Qing'er, she couldn't help but smile.

"Xin'er, I want to ask if the mother you are looking for is me?"

Qing'er came to the inn, asked everyone in the inn to leave, and then asked the doubts in her mind directly.

Xin'er nodded, "Yes, you are my mother. Daddy went to look for you that day, but you didn't recognize him."

"What evidence do you have?"

Qing'er did not believe everything she said, but asked her to produce concrete evidence to prove her identity.

Xin'er thought about it, then pulled out a human face pendant from her waist and placed it on the table.

"This human face pendant comes in a pair. You should have one too."

Qing'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't have this thing.

When Baiyue brought her back, even her clothes were tattered, not to mention any extra ornaments.

Xin'er couldn't help but frown, "How could it be gone? This is a token of your love with daddy!"

Qing'er shook her head firmly. She really didn't have this thing.

"Is there any other evidence?"

Xin'er pursed her lips and said nothing. Apart from this, she really couldn't think of anything else that could prove Qing'er's identity.

Qing'er sighed and felt that she had lost her mind for believing what a stranger said.

She stood up and prepared to leave.

Xin'er quickly grabbed Qing'er's sleeve and said anxiously, "I know you were seriously injured. I can heal your wound. As long as your wound is fully recovered, you will remember it! Then it will prove that I am not lying. You are really my mother!"

It would have been fine if Xin'er didn't say this, but once she did, Qing'er felt that she was making fun of herself.

You have to know that even Baiyue, who has great magical powers, cannot completely solve the problems in her body. She can only use her magical powers from time to time to maintain her current health.

Xin'er, who was still very young, dared to boast that he could cure her injury, but Qing'er didn't believe it at all.

She gently pried open Xin'er's hand that was pulling at her sleeve and said, "Forget it, you don't have to say anything more. You must have recognized the wrong person."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Xin'er wanted to chase after him, but she was afraid of revealing her whereabouts and being found by Baiyue, so she stopped at the inn.

After returning home, Qing'er felt guilty for her distrust of Baiyue. In the evening, she specially ordered people to prepare a lot of Baiyue's favorite meals as compensation.

Baiyue was a little surprised to see the overly sumptuous meal on the table, "Is today a festival? Why are there so many dishes?"
