Chapter 726: I’m Your Mother

Seeing that it was Xuanyuan Ce, Shen Yijia stopped in her tracks and maintained her outstretched hands. MO Yuan rushed over.
Xuanyuan Ce hugged the person in his arms and retreated. He shouted, “Stop her.”
A Demon Guard suddenly appeared in front of MO Yuan.
MO Yuan’s eyes turned cold. She flipped her wrist and a silver needle flew out of her fingertip.
With a clang, the Demon Guards swung their swords to block it. Without giving MO Yuan a chance to take out any more silver needles, they pounced on her and grabbed her wrist.
“Let go.”
Two voices sounded at the same time. One came from Shen Yijia, and the other…
Ji Luo retreated from Xuanyuan Ce’s arms and staggered.
MO Yuan quickly ran over to support her.
Ji Luo looked at Xuanyuan Ce, who was also looking at her. However, unlike Ji Luo’s coldness, Xuanyuan Ce’s eyes were filled with shock and regret.
MO Yuan could recognize her at a glance, but so could Xuanyuan Ce.
His heart tightened. He reached out, his fingertips trembling. His throat tightened. “Your face…’
Ji Luo turned her head away to avoid his hand.
Xuanyuan Ce paused and slowly closed his fingers. He retracted his hand and twisted his fingers. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent.
He stood there, his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of frost, like a cold sword.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let off anyone who hurt you,” Xuanyuan Ce said.
Ji Luo’s eyelashes fluttered and she said coldly, “My business has nothing to do with you.”
At this moment, she was a little grateful for the scars on her face, preventing her from making any unnecessary expressions.
Xuanyuan Ce clenched his fists and stared at her for a long time. He turned around and took two steps before stopping. “Back then, I let you down, but I’ve never forgotten my promise to you.”
He looked at Shen Yijia. “Girl, help me take care of her for a few days.”
With that, he glanced at the Demon Guards again and left in large strides.
Shen Yijia was a little stunned. Thinking of Xuanyuan Ce’s love history from You Yi, she vaguely guessed something.
However.
Did she agree to his request? No.
Thus, even if she took care of the lady, she wasn’t helping him.
“Hmph!” she thought.
There was one more thing.
She knew that the hidden Demon Guard hadn’t left at all. He was guarding them from behind a nearby tree and fighting for a spot with You Yi.
MO Yuan frowned and said, “Master.”
Ji Luo ignored Xuanyuan Ce and reached out to stroke her head. She sighed. “MO Yuan has grown up.”
MO Yuan’s eyes turned a little red. “I came late and caused Master to suffer so much. ”
“It’s not too late.” Ji Luo looked at Shen Yijia. “You did very well.”
Shen Yijia’s heart tightened under his gaze. She pinched her fingers and was about to say something when Lin Miaomiao ran over.
“Sister-in-law, Sister MO Yuan, bad news. Many people are about to die.
Brother Song hasn’t returned yet.”
Only then did Shen Yijia remember why she had pulled MO Yuan out. Moreover, Ji Luo had said that it was fine. Could it be that she knew that she had spiritual liquid?
That’s right. When she was in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, the spiritual exchange Ji Yunxi mentioned should be related to her spiritual liquid. Could it be that the spiritual liquid was not a secret in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Ji Luo said softly, “Saving people is more important.”
Even though Ji Luo had many things to tell her and wanted to know if she had been doing well all these years, she knew that there was no hurry.
With Shen Yijia’s spiritual liquid and the acupuncture technique that Ji Luo had taught MO Yuan, the poison in the soldiers’ bodies was finally controlled after a few hours of work.
Seeing the fatigue in Ji Luo’s eyes, Shen Yijia was considerate of her, and took care of her.
“Let me help you back to rest,” she said.
Ji Luo did not refuse. “Alright.”
Together with MO Yuan, they helped her back to the tent. Coincidentally, a
soldier brought lunch over.
Because they did not know that Shen Yijia was also here, the soldier only gave Ji Luo’s share.
Coincidentally, Shen Yijia also wanted to wait for Song Jingchen to return before eating together.
Just as she was about to leave, she met Ji Luo’s gaze and was stunned.
She felt that it was rude to call her by her name. She was not married, so she should call her Big Sister, right? It seemed appropriate for her age, since she was the one who raised MO Yuan.
This stumped Shen Yijia. She thought for a moment and said, “Then, you should eat. I won’t disturb you.”
“Jiajia,” Ji Luo called out to her.
“I heard MO Yuan mention your name. I can call you that, right?”
Shen Yijia nodded in a daze. It was just a name. It was nothing.
Ji Luo’s gaze landed gently on her face. “I have something to tell you. Can I take up some of your time?”
She had grown up in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets and was used to being decisive. She was not a shy person who liked to drag things out. Otherwise, she would not have left the Xuanyuan Kingdom so decisively back then.
Now that she saw Shen Yijia, she had never thought of using other identities to care for her and protect her.
In Ji Luo’s opinion, that was unfair to Shen Yijia. She had the right to know everything.
As for whether Shen Yijia would acknowledge her as her mother or hate her, she deserved it.
Shen Yijia thought that she was going to talk about the spiritual liquid and said, “You haven’t recovered yet. We’ll talk about the spiritual liquid later. Rest well first.”
Ji Luo shook his head. “That’s not what I wanted to say.”
Shen Yijia looked at her suspiciously.
MO Yuan had already retreated.
Ji Luo approached her and carefully held her hand. There was no expression on her scarred face, but Shen Yijia could clearly feel that her hand was trembling, as if she was afraid of something.
“Jiajia, actually, I’m your mother,” she said in a trembling voice.
Shen Yijia’s pupils constricted and she suddenly retracted her hand. Her first reaction was that this person was joking with her. Her mother was clearly Madam Wang.
She opened her mouth to retort when she suddenly noticed the tears in her eyes.
“You…”
Ji Luo’s hand was still frozen in midair. She closed her eyes and a tear flowed out of the corner of her eye, sliding down the hideous scars on her face. “Yes, I sent you to the alternate world..”
