Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor-Chapter 4661: Speaking up
Chapter 4661: Speaking up
Clutching the dagger tightly, Boqing wiped away the last of his tears and nodded earnestly. “Yes, I understand. I will take very good care of myself. You all take care too, and don’t get lost again!”
“Alright, it’s getting late, we should be going!” Du Fan stepped forward and gave Boqing a reassuring pat on the shoulder. He then turned to Feng Jiu and said, “Master, I will escort him to the sect first and return after settling things there.”
“Alright, go ahead!” Feng Jiu nodded in acknowledgment, watching as Du Fan retrieved his flying artifact and departed with Seventeen and Boqing. Only then did she turn her attention to her three children.
“Let’s head back to the Palace now! Let’s spend some time with your Grandfather,” Feng Jiu said gently, patting each of them on the head.
The three children followed her inside. Yue’er, her small brow furrowed with concern, asked, “Mother, will we ever see Boqing again?”
Feng Jiu held her daughter’s hand as they walked, her gaze fixed on the path ahead. “Nothing in this world lasts forever, my dear. When fate allows, things will come together, and when it doesn’t, they won’t. We must simply let things unfold naturally and not try to force what isn’t meant to be.”
The three children listened quietly, absorbing her words. After a thoughtful pause, they nodded in unison and said, “Yes, Mother, we understand.”
“Mother, where is Father?” Muchen asked, looking up at her with earnest eyes. “You haven’t told us where Father has gone. Mother, has something happened to him?”
Feng Jiu’s steps faltered momentarily, and a fleeting shadow crossed her face. She lowered her gaze, looked at her son beside her, and offered him a gentle smile. Reaching out, she softly ruffled his hair. Noticing that Hao’er and Yue’er were also looking at her expectantly, as if waiting for her answer, she directed her gaze towards a palace fence not far in the distance and said, “Let’s go over there! I will tell you everything.”
The three children followed her to the railing. As she sat down, they mirrored her action and settled beside her. All three pairs of eyes were fixed on her, waiting patiently for her to speak.
“Some time ago, the blood curse that afflicted you was weakened, and it was indeed connected to your father. Something unexpected occurred while he was undergoing an advancement in his cultivation, and at present, we do not know his exact whereabouts. However, please do not worry too much; he will be alright. Perhaps he is simply resting and recuperating in a secluded place. Once he has recovered, he will undoubtedly return to find us.”
Feng Jiu offered them only a broad explanation, carefully omitting the perilous nature of the situation. She alone understood the true extent of the danger, but she did not want her children to dwell on it or become excessively worried. Therefore, she provided them with only a general overview.
“Even Mother doesn’t know where Father is?” Yue’er asked, her brow furrowed with worry as she looked up at her mother.
Feng Jiu smiled reassuringly, gently stroking her daughter’s head. “Your father is incredibly powerful, so there is no need to fret too much about him. However, Mother has something else important to tell the three of you.” freewebnoveℓ.com
“Mother, what is it?” Hao’er inquired.
“In the near future, Mother will be sending you to different places to seek out skilled masters to train with. Therefore, during this time, you must remember everything that Mother teaches you. It is possible that you will need this knowledge in the future.”
“Mother is sending us away?” Yue’er asked hurriedly, her small hands clutching tightly at her mother’s sleeves. “Where are you sending us? We don’t want to find other masters; we only want to cultivate with Mother.”
“Mother, I don’t want to leave you either,” Muchen added, his voice reflecting his reluctance. “I want to stay here with you.”
“Mother, I also want to stay with you,” Hao’er echoed, looking up at her with pleading eyes. “I don’t want to leave you.”
