The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 84

Ch 84: This Method is Good

“No, that’s not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand.” Tuoba Yan was a little flustered. “I was just a little surprised. You haven’t been back for so many years. My master and the others thought you were already…”

Speaking of this, Tuoba Yan’s brow furrowed again, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. “Are you really Gu Qingyin?”

Gu Qingyin knew what he was doubting. She sighed and explained the reason for the matter again, almost numbly.

Tuoba Yan listened in a daze. After reacting, he actually showed a bit of guilt. “I’m sorry, wasting twenty years of your time…”

Gu Qingyin was also stunned. Why was this person a little different from what she thought? Suddenly being so polite, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

“It’s okay, who could have expected this, right…”

“Actually, before you left, my master performed a divination. He calculated that there would be twists and turns in this trip, but the divination showed that there was no danger to life, so…” Tuoba Yan said with shame, “I didn’t tell you.”

Gu Qingyin was silent.

Huo Xingchen frowned as he listened from the side. His original firm idea began to waver. Could it be that Gu Qingyin is really his biological mother? And was forced to leave home for so long because of this damn mission?

Thinking of this, Huo Xingchen’s gaze towards Tuoba Yan had a hint of gloom.

Gu Qingyin was actually a little dazed. When she heard about the divination, she couldn’t help but think, if she had known earlier, would she have changed her mind and refused to accept this mission?

The conclusion was, she wouldn’t.

She would still go. It was just a divination with some twists and turns. With her trust in her own abilities, she wouldn’t have taken it to heart at all. The final result would most likely still be her chasing the Candle Dragon into another dimension, missing twenty years of the mortal world.

Would she regret it?

There was some regret, for Huo Yunjing, for their three children.

But it wasn’t regret.

Her feelings for Huo Yunjing weren’t deep, far from being unforgettable. The three children had also grown up healthy. Although they each had their own problems, it wasn’t too late to educate them now.

Gu Qingyin always took things lightly. To put it bluntly, she was broad-minded, able to accept all kinds of sudden changes very well, and it was difficult to arouse strong emotions.

Sometimes, she admired herself. She was like she had a shield against bad things. She just solved the problem and never felt sorry for herself.

Perhaps she had been silent for too long, Tuoba Yan panicked even more. “That… I can compensate you on behalf of the association.”

Huh? Gu Qingyin came back to her senses and was very surprised in her heart.

As far as she knew, the old men of the Mystical Arts Association were all misers, never giving anything away. Not only was this President Tuoba generous to her, but he was also generous to others? Could those old guys agree?

Thinking about it, Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but raise her head, closing her eyes from the impact of the colors. She quickly looked up again, met Tuoba Yan’s eyes, and asked, “What do you want to compensate me with?”

“A magical artifact?” Tuoba Yan asked tentatively.

Gu Qingyin scoffed. She wanted to refuse, but suddenly something appeared in her mind. She changed her tone and said, “I want the Soul Mirror.”

Tuoba Yan’s eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became heavy. “Impossible!”

The nearby Liu Ergou looked at Gu Qingyin with admiration. You really dare to ask!

The Soul Mirror is one of the three great artifacts of the Mystical Arts Association. It is usually kept in the warehouse for worship. If an ordinary Taoist Master wants to use it, they have to apply half a month in advance, and there are Association Elders supervising the process.

It was impossible to send it out as compensation!

Gu Qingyin shrugged indifferently. “I knew you weren’t sincere.”

Tuoba Yan’s expression changed, and he said with difficulty, “I can’t make the decision on this matter myself. It has to be voted on by the Council of Elders.”

Gu Qingyin felt incredible in her heart, and even felt that Tuoba Yan was mentally unstable because he had been in this light-polluted environment for too long.

But she didn’t show it at all on her face, and nodded very matter-of-factly. “As soon as possible, don’t make me wait too long.”

Tuoba Yan: “…Okay.”

Liu Ergou looked dazed, thinking he was dreaming.

Huo Xingchen didn’t understand, but it was idiotic to not take advantage of a good deal. He wasn’t an idiot, so he also urged, “The latest should be no more than half a month.”

Tuoba Yan glanced at him. He didn’t want to pay attention to him, but he inexplicably looked at Gu Qingyin again, and nodded hesitantly. “I’ll try my best.”

Gu Qingyin didn’t expect things to turn out this way. She blinked and asked tentatively, “Then… we’ll leave first?”

“Yeah.” Tuoba Yan glanced at the Mao Mao, who was rolling around with Little White, not knowing when. He added, “I’ll have Little White send over its pet license tomorrow.”

Gu Qingyin nodded and said politely, “Thank you for your trouble.” Then she turned to call Mao Mao to leave.

At this time, Mao Mao was standing on Little White’s body, inspecting the territory in the house like a mountain king. When he learned that they were leaving, Mao Mao reluctantly touched Little White’s head.

Little White meowed and turned to lick its fur.

It was amazing. In just a short while, the two little animals had actually developed feelings for each other.

The three people and one monkey left. Tuoba Yan quickly took out his phone, opened the Council of Elders chat group, and edited the news of Gu Qingyin’s return and her request into a long message and sent it out, then @ everyone.

After a brief silence, the phone vibrated one after another.

Elder Zhang: How dare she ask!

Elder Wang: Although it was our misjudgment at the beginning, her master has already made a scene once. What else does she want?!

Elder Miao: But if we don’t agree, will her master come to our door again?

Elder Zhang: There are so many of us, are we afraid of him!

Elder Miao: That’s what we thought at the beginning.

As soon as this was said, the group fell silent again.

After a while, there was new news again.

Elder Dongfang: Agree to her first. Divine artifacts are not so easy to recognize their master.

Elder Zhao: That makes sense! We agreed, but if she doesn’t have the ability to take the divine artifact away, then she can’t blame us.

Elder Wang: This method is good.

Elder Zhang: Wonderful!

Several elders agreed.

Tuoba Yan, who was lurking, breathed a sigh of relief and replied: Then when is it more appropriate to let her come to recognize the master?

Elder Wang: Let’s drag it on first. There’s no hurry.

On the other side, the three of Gu Qingyin were unusually silent on the way back.

Until they came out of the small space and reappeared in the City God Temple, Gu Qingyin gasped and asked in surprise, “Has Tuoba Yan’s brain been seriously injured?”

Liu Ergou was also confused. “This night was like a dream. Is he really going to give you the Soul Mirror?”

Gu Qingyin chuckled and gritted her teeth. “He wouldn’t dare to go back on his word.”

Huo Xingchen looked at Gu Qingyin with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping, stopping but wanting to say something.

Gu Qingyin became impatient. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. You’re not acting like a man at all!”

Huo Xingchen’s face darkened, and the words he had been thinking about for a long time blurted out, “Are you really my biological mother?”

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes. “I don’t have a son as chuuni and stupid as you.”
