While eating, Long Qian arrived.
As the biological mother of Long Chan, Long Qian was young and beautiful, maintaining her appearance for years.
Gu Lili revered her, never quite knowing what to call her.
"Mother..." Long Yubei spoke up, "Why have you co at this hour?"
"I ca to tell you that the Three Divine Mothers’ clan will definitely not let things rest. Although Lin Yueer is inexcusable for controlling Ninth with the Half Moon Enchantnt, your father did not order her execution at the ti, which led the Three Divine Mothers to believe that it is you and Lili who caused her daughter’s death now. I suspect they will surely take new actions."
"Did father tell you this?"
"No, ever since your father explained to her, I have been extra cautious about her. Knowing the Three Divine Mothers as I do, she wouldn’t swallow this grievance. Sure enough, last night, I specifically went near her residence and overheard her clan mbers talking about taking revenge for Lin Yueer. I believe that must also be the will of the Three Divine Mothers. They haven’t acted these days, just waiting for an opportunity or planning sothing."
Long Yubei felt his mother’s words made sense, "But they won’t do this overtly, after all, they don’t want to start a war between the two clans."
"You’re right. They’ll probably act in secret, especially since it’s tough to deal with you directly. I guess they might target Lili and the two children, who are your weak spots. I thought about it all night. Zen, mother has decided to bring the children closer to take care of them. Just focus on taking good care of Lili. Find the Huiling Sword as soon as possible. If both swords are in your hands, I won’t be so worried."
Gu Lili, though reluctant, clearly understood that the children’s grandmother truly cared for her and Long Yubei’s wellbeing. Without waiting for Long Yubei to speak, she agreed, "Then I’ll leave the children in your caring hands."
Long Qian laughed, "Why ntion ’caring’? Although these are Zen’s children in the mortal world, they are still my own grandchildren. I am idle all day with nothing pressing, so it’s no bother. Lili, even though you haven’t remarried Zen, I still regard you as my daughter-in-law. If you also consider as family, then from now on, you can call mother along with him."
Gu Lili was pleasantly surprised. She exchanged glances with Long Yubei and responded, "Yes, Mother."
Long Qian nodded in satisfaction, "Then I will take the children away."
After she left, Gu Lili couldn’t help asking, "I feel your mother is very generous. Technically, although I didn’t remarry you, you’re still with now. If it were your mother in the mortal world, if not for the pressure from grandpa and grandma, she would definitely look down on and mock . But your mother never did."
"Different status, different personality, and different outlook on life," Long Yubei stretched out his hand and patted her head, "My mother likes you, I can see that."
"With your mother taking care of the two children, I feel relieved. Now all I want is to find the Huiling Sword quickly. Damn Lin Yueer, where exactly did she hide the sword!"
"That’s really hard to say. She could have just dug a hole and buried it underground and it wouldn’t be found." Long Yubei narrowed his eyes, "She is dead, but the person who hid the sword is still alive. If that person dies, they would surely report to the underworld. I’ve already arranged with the Underworld officials to question every soul that cos to reincarnate. Obviously, there has been no trace of it, indicating that Lin Yueer didn’t silence that person."
