Chapter 853: Fengling Snow Mountain (Part 7)
Han Jing held onto her, then said to everyone, "I’m going with Su Yu, Lianwu, and Xiao Xue down to the barrier. Big brother, you, Ting Luo, Lan Ling, and my father search elsewhere. Regardless of whether you find anything, we are to meet on the cliff my father mentioned in seven days. If we haven’t come out by then, wait there. If we have come out, we’ll follow the clues you leave behind to find you. Make sure to leave clues along the way."
Lian Xichen nodded, "Alright."
He then looked at everyone and said, "If there are no other questions, let’s settle it like this. I’ll go arrange matters with the Prayer Pavilion, and tomorrow morning, we set off."
This arrangement had no issues, so naturally, no one had any objections. Rather, since everything was arranged, they felt more at ease and less anxious.
Han Jing was worried about Yao Zhen and wanted to stay here with her. She had been tense and worried these past days and hadn’t had the time to share what happened within the Xia Clan with them. Perhaps chatting would ease their minds. Therefore, Han Jing let Su Yu return to the Spirit Flame Sect while she stayed at the Prayer Pavilion.
Han Jing talked with Yao Zhen all afternoon. When the topic turned to Han Qingjue, Yao Zhen couldn’t help but sigh and said to Han Jing, "Leaving her in the Xia Clan like that, is it really alright? Regardless, she’s Han Litong’s biological daughter. Now she’s seriously injured and missing; Han Litong, having gone through so much, should have understood things better and would certainly be worried. Since the past is over, she probably won’t remain stubborn."
Yao Zhen, due to these days of constant worry about Han Jing and An Chuxue’s safety, couldn’t help but soften her heart, thinking that all mothers in the world ultimately care for their children. No matter what Han Litong did wrong in the past, Han Qingjue was raised by her own hand. Surely, she wouldn’t abandon her, as they are the dearest relatives in this world.
Han Jing shook her head, "Mother, don’t overthink it. I’ve already told Xia Qingcheng, if Han Qingjue wants to return when she wakes up, send her back. If she doesn’t want to come back, that’s beyond my control. I think that place, with its beautiful mountains and waters, is perfect for recuperation."
Of course, she didn’t like it at all.
So she hoped her family, especially Su Yu, could soon break through to the Divine Level and change whatever outdated clan rules there were; and as for who wanted to be the Clan Leader, let them be. They didn’t want to get involved.
She recalled what Su Yu had told her about the island on the South Sea; that was the place she truly wanted to go.
"Well, you’re right. There’s no need for us to decide for others. Once Han Qingjue wakes up, she’ll make her own decision." Yao Zhen took Han Jing’s hand and placed it on her lap, patting it, "Mother just hopes Xue’er can stay safe. With Xia Ji dead, you can finally have some peace. I can’t rest easy until I see you all well."
Han Jing shook her head with a smile, "Mother, had I known bringing you over would make you worry all day, I should have left you in Hanjing City."
