Chapter 341 - 283: Half Fox Demon Blood, Half Changsheng Blood! (Double-Length - )
Song Changming also wasn’t surprised that Jiang River could anticipate this, he sighed lightly and said, "I hope that you, elder, can keep this matter confidential. I worry about the Su Family..."
Jiang River understood and said, "After today, I will leave Cui Bai Dao and won’t say anything to anyone, including Feng Ye."
"Changming, rest assured." Beside him, Liu Xiangnan also nodded solemnly at Song Changming.
"Mm." Song Changming didn’t say much, and looked towards Su Qingqing.
"Young Master."
"Take it off."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing removed her veil, revealing her true face.
For a moment, Jiang River gazed at her somewhat lost.
Beside him, Zhao Dongming was puzzled; this elder had always acted calmly, never losing composure like this.
"You look very much like your mother." Jiang River murmured.
Su Qingqing bit her lip with her pearly teeth, then suddenly said sullenly.
"Where is my mother? Why does my father not go to find her?"
"Your father was greatly affected back then, and his spirits were low for a long time. If he were to find Yan Xue, it would mean forcing his parents to their deaths. He had no choice." Jiang River explained.
Putting oneself in his shoes, if he were Su Fengye back then, he too could not abandon everything to find his wife.
All he could say was that being part of the Changsheng Family, this union was doomed from the start, unlikely to have a happy outcome.
Back then, he too was enchanted by Xi Yanxue, but he had concerns and thus buried the emotion deep in his heart, never expressing it.
Therefore, he couldn’t comment much on this matter.
"As for Yan Xue, she should be in Yuan Province." Jiang River said.
Su Qingqing, upon learning of her mother’s whereabouts, felt slightly relieved.
At least, knowing that both her parents were still alive was much better than the previous silence, where they were uncertain whether alive or dead.
Jiang River looked at Su Qingqing with a bit of pity, no matter what, she was the child of his two closest friends.
Back then, this child was merely seven or eight years old, also a victim of that incident.
Indeed today, her being able to rely on herself to return here alive seemed like a miracle to him.
"Now that you know about the past, what do you plan to do next?" Jiang River asked softly.
"Your father, though incompetent, would certainly seek you out if he knew you were alive, and would do his utmost to protect you. With his current status and power in the Su Family, although he cannot bring back Yan Xue, he can still make the Su Family accept you again.
For you, it means no longer having to wander outside."
Su Qingqing’s face showed no sign of emotion, "I don’t trust this Su Family, and even less him!"
By him, she naturally referred to her father Su Fengye.
It was evident that she was quite disappointed with her father’s inactivity over these years.
"I want to find my mother!"
"Even if your mother is a demon, you still want to find her?" Jiang River stared at Su Qingqing and asked further.
"Whether human or demon, she is my mother. If she is a demon, then I am a demon too!" Su Qingqing said firmly without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang River nodded, his expression relaxed a bit more, seemingly satisfied with Su Qingqing’s response.
Earlier, he was worried that Su Qingqing might not accept her mother being part of the Demon Race and might refuse to acknowledge her mother.
If that were the case, he definitely wouldn’t tell Xi Yanxue that Su Qingqing was still alive, to avoid causing her more pain.
"If you are determined, I know where your mother is, I can take you there, but you must consider carefully. Yuan Province is full of demons, fraught with danger, and at where your mother is, I can only take you alone, I can’t bring more people." Jiang River said frankly; this was something he could assist with.
In fact, over the years, he had secretly helped Xi Yanxue several times, always keeping an eye on her situation.
Su Qingqing’s arrival might help this former beauty to step out of the shadows of the past, which he was happy to see.
Song Changming, upon hearing this, contemplated in his mind.
"Young Master..." At this moment, Su Qingqing also looked at him, within just the span of a meal, the girl seemed to have grown up a lot, her eyes lacked the past lively spirit.
Song Changming immediately understood Su Qingqing’s thoughts, shook his head and said, "If you want to go, then go, this is something for you to decide."
"Thank you, Young Master!" Su Qingqing said seriously.
"It will be exhausting for you, elder." Song Changming said to Jiang River.
"No problem, for me, it’s just going to see an old friend. I believe she would also be very happy to see her daughter still alive." Jiang River smiled lightly.
"If I may be so bold to ask, which demon race is Qingqing’s mother from?" Song Changming asked in the end.
Beside him, Liu Xiangnan and others were also quite curious.
"Fox Demon Clan!" Jiang River replied with just this sentence, without going into detail, seeming as if there were other secrets that couldn’t be shared with outsiders.
"Fox Demon, this means I also have half Fox Demon Blood in me?" Su Qingqing looked at Jiang River.
"Yes, half Fox Demon Blood, half Changsheng Blood; this has never happened before..." Jiang River nodded.
Thinking carefully, Su Qingqing’s situation was indeed unique; if she could grow, the future looked unpredictable even to him.
Song Changming thought of Su Qingqing’s unique pupil technique, which should be the demon talent granted by her Fox Demon blood.
As for the so-called Charm Demon Eye Technique mentioned before, it was merely nonsense spouted by those people from the Corpse Refining Sect.
...
At night.
"Young Master, when I find my mother, I will come back to see you." Su Qingqing, reluctant to leave Song Changming, said softly.
Song Changming smiled and said, "After finally reuniting, naturally we should spend more time together, as for my place, you are always welcome back."
"Okay!"
"I will definitely tell my mother how lucky I am to have met the best Young Master in the world, who gave me food, drink, clothes, shelter, taught me martial arts, supported me, and brought me back here..."
