Chapter 1212: Chapter 1211 Mom has always been there

Lan Qing was feeling somewhat restless tonight.

When Chu Qianli arrived, he was eating.

"You eat these all day long; where do you get your nourishment from?" No wonder he was so thin!

Lan Qing looked up, unsurprised, to see Chu Qianli sitting on a tree swinging her legs.

This was Lan Qing’s private place, a small grove with various flowers and plants.

Not far away, there was a warm spring pool, where he bathed and changed clothes.

"I thought the guards outside the door could stop you for a while."

Lan Qing looked at the petals in his hand and suddenly lost his appetite.

"Do you really think they can stop me? What about the promise you made to me?" Chu Qianli hummed, jumping down from the tree.

Her acupoints were now unsealed; naturally, those guards couldn’t stop her.

As long as she didn’t cause too much commotion, coming in and out of here once or twice was no trouble at all.

Lan Qing looked at the girl standing before him, moved his lips, and finally just smiled lightly: "The thing I promised to do for you, I will naturally do it."

"But I can’t guarantee whether it can be done."

Hearing this, Chu Qianli’s heart lit up, barely able to suppress her excitement.

Whether it would work or not was a matter for later, but at least, she had a chance to try.

"Follow me," said Lan Qing, turning around and leaving.

Chu Qianli followed behind him, winding through several corridors of the garden, and finally arrived at a cold pond.

The water in the pond was bone-chillingly cold with cold air overflowing. Just approaching it slightly made Chu Qianli shiver all over.

It was as if she was restrained by some sort of magic, no longer daring to move forward.

She took a half step back: "This cold pond..."

"It’s called the Ice Pond, its waters drawn from the sacred land of the Lan Family. Only people of the Lan Family can approach it without harm; others, if they force themselves close, will damage their cultivation."

Lan Qing’s hand rested on his chest, lightly covering it, and he coughed twice.

"Are you... not feeling well?" Chu Qianli quickly noticed this.

But, because Lan Qing’s face was paler than most, it was hard for her to tell if he was pale due to illness or naturally so pale.

Lan Qing glanced at her, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he simply said: "It’s nothing."

Chu Qianli wanted to ask more, but he had already walked up to the edge of the Ice Pond and closed his eyes.

"National Advisor..."

"The promise I made to you, I will surely fulfill it, no need to ask further."

He brought his palms together and sat down on the ground.

The cold from the Ice Pond instantly seeped into his body, inflicting a pain like thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

His delicate brows slightly furrowed together.

"National Advisor..." Chu Qianli immediately noticed something was wrong with him.

But she didn’t understand: was this because of casting the spell, or was he truly unwell?

"Look at the Ice Pond, focus your mind, think of the matter you wish to resolve, the person you wish to see; I will help you discard distraction."

Chu Qianli dared not say more and immediately fixed her gaze on the Ice Pond.

Lan Qing was saying something unintelligible, and Chu Qianli seemed to follow along, mumbling a few words, but she quickly forgot what spell she was actually reciting.

She just followed the sound of his voice; her thoughts gradually became locked onto the Ice Pond.

There were indeed images in the Ice Pond!

Mother!

This must be her mother! Her mom, Long Xiyue!

"Lili." Long Xiyue was calling her!

"Mom..." Chu Qianli’s heart suddenly ached, "Mom..."

"Lili, mom is here, mom has always been here."

The figure of Long Xiyue, bit by bit, became clear.

When she finally saw it clearly, Chu Qianli’s eyes widened, her face in utter disbelief!

How could this be?
