After hearing Little Fengfeng's concern, Mother Lan was a little startled and imdiately shifted her attention from the strange woman infront of her said to Fengfeng,
"Yes. I'm okay. It's all thanks to this fellow daoist who helped us. Otherwise our lives would have been in danger. Thank her, Fengfeng."
After hearing her mother's words, Fengfeng was imdiately relieved as she turned her attention to the woman before her. This strange woman seed extrely young, with flowing dark black hair and pair of deep dark eyes. Her face didn't have a single wrinkle on them but strangely, she gave off a very mature charm giving people an illusion that she was young but not at the sa ti. Her Aura made people feel from the bottom of their hearts that she definitely is an elder, much older than them but her appearance said otherwise.
Fengfeng stared at the woman before her who was a head taller than her mother as her mother introduced herself to the woman,
"This is my youngest daughter, Mo Feng. There's also my eldest daughter, Mo Yuxin but she has gone on an adventure to train and hasn't yet been back."
The mont mother Lan intruced her as her daughter, The woman whose eyes were indifferent before suddenly had a subtle change in them as she looked at the small girl who resembled her mother with an incredible tenderness in her eyes. At this Mother Lan was a little stunned after seeing her expression but the woman again hid her emotions and Mother Lan couldn't say anything. But strangely, Mother Lan suddenly had an extrely absurd idea as she looked at the woman's face and her little daughter's and seed to find an incredible similarity!!
The mont this thought ca into Mother Lan's mind, she imdiately rejected it by thinking that it was too absurd. She thought that maybe because the woman gives her a very subtle and strange feeling and that's why her thoughts.were influenced. After all, how could her daughter's face be similar to a person she has just t now.
After introducing her daughters, Mother Lan waited for Fengfeng to thank the woman but saw her staring at the woman without saying anything. She imdiately tapped her arm slightly and Fengfeng imdiately ca back to her senses and cupped her fist towards the woman and said in a very respectful tone,
"I thank Fellow Daoist for saving the lives of and my mother. We will never forget this life saving debt."
Her words were standard and respectful, The woman na Shen Mingyue nodded slightly after hearing them but her eyes continued to stay on Fengfeng and muttered in a very low voice,
"Mm.. my child."
"Did you say sothing?" Mother Lan asked because she felt that the woman said sothing but Shen Mingyue imdiately denied and Mother Lan didn't think much and said to her again,
"Then, Miss Mingyue. Shall we go to our ho?"
Shen Mingyue imdiately nodded and started following Mother Lan as the three of them walked towards the Mo Family Courtyard in a leisurely pace.
On the other hand, the crowd had already dispersed but the gossips and rumours didn't stop there and the facts about Lan family and their internal history in very accurate details started circulating in the whole Azure Dragon City.
In the beggar sect branch, Shan Ke was sitting on a desk as his subordinates reported their works one after another,
"Boss! We were on standby to help Miss Lan at all tis. But before we could even take action, a strange woman ca and saved them."
"Yes boss. She seed extrely powerful and the Lan family were defeated just by her aura. We cannot fathom just how powerful she is."
"And even though we couldn't help much. We still spread so detailed internal information of the Lan Family throughout the whole Azure Dragon City. At this point, they will never be able to do anything to miss Lan anymore. And they would also not be able to ever lift their faces infront of the world anymore."
Shan Ke heard the reports from his subordinates and said ,
"Good job. Miss Mo Yuxin had entrusted her family's safety to us before she left in her journey. We would not break her trust. Keep an eye on the Lan Family more and do not let them hurt Miss Mo Yuxin's family at all cost. Branch leader has also said before to put Miss Mo Yuxin as our top priority."
"Yess boss!!" All the subordinates shouted in unison and one of them asked,
"But boss. Should we investigate the strange woman?"
Shan Ke was a little silent for a mont as if he was thinking of sothing before he said,
"No need. She must an acquaintance of Miss Mo Yuxin. After all, her powers are unfathomable and only Miss Mo Yuxin could have soone like her to ensure her family's safety. "
"Yes boss." The subordinates nodded and they also felt that Mo Yuxin was truly such a huge existence at such a young age! She even had such powerful helpers! Earning favor from her would definitely not be their loss.
At this ti, Mother Lan and the three of them had already co infront of their ho and Mother Lan stopped infront of the Mo Family Courtyard's door and turned around to Shen Mingyue and showed her,
"This is our humble abode. Please co in."
After she said that, she opened the door and invited the guest in and closed the door after all of them entered.
Right after entering the door is the courtyard space with the large plum blossom tree standing on the side.
Shen Mingyue entered the door and couldn't help but feel that the world seems to have beco strangely silent and peaceful the mont she stepped foot into the house.
She looked at the plum blossom tree and seed to feel the mories of the two people who spends their daily life here. Even though Mother Lan and her daughters have been staying here for only a few months but the mories they have created in this ho is much more precious than in any of their hos before. After all, before they didn't have their own hos and it was only this courtyard house that symbolises the incredible change in their life.
Mother Lan invited Shen Mingyue to sit on a cushion mat and placed a very nice looking low table before it.
She asked Fengfeng to bring the most exquisite tea cups and tea leaves that she bought a few days ago and a also went to boil a pot of hot water in another exquisite kettle.
Shen Mingyue waited for them as the mother and Daughter both ca back with the things and both sat on two cushion mats placed side by side.
Mother Lan has always been an excellent tea maker and she imdiately started brewing tea in a very sophisticated and elegant manner.
The tea leaves were poured in which brought about an extrely pleasing sll to their noses and after brewing the tea ticulously for a few minutes, she placed three cups of tea infront of them which were oozing hot steam from the top. The cups were exquisite and beautiful and the tea exuded a very subtle sweet and refreshing aroma making them feel refreshed as the negative feelings from today's ordeal also faded away.
"Please take a sip. If you don't like it, please tell , I will change to sothing else."
All the three people were taking sips from their cups in elegant manners and Shen Mingyue raised her head as she took another sip and stared at Mother Lan before saying,
"No. It's... Very refreshing." What Shen Mingyue said was not lie. A person of her status who stands at the very pinnacle of power in the entire world has tasted even the most expensive and the rarest teas in the world. She even has an entire garden of the World's most rarest tea called the 'Fujian Longjian tea'. This tea has been extinct from the world for a million years because of its rarity but she found a single seed from the most ancient spiritual realm only thanks to a stroke of luck and brought it back and planted it in her garden to cultivate more of it. It's been 999 years since then and another year it would take for the whole garden full of 'Fujian Longjian tea leaves' to finally mature and be ready to be brewed. She herself has only tasted it only once because one tea leaf matured faster thanks to a miracle of converging of heaven auras in a single place. Even though she has only tasted it once and she could say before with certainty that no other tea in the world is better than that but now she doesn't think so anymore.
This simple yet most common of tea when it is made by the person you love becos the most exquisite delicacy in the world.
"Thank you for the tea, Xuxu."
Shen Mingyue suddenly said after taking another sip which startled Mother Lan so much that she almost sprayed the whole tea from her mouth.
