Chapter 968: Chapter 633: The Same Taste as Childhood, The Reason for Feng Qingyan’s Sudden Disappearance Back Then_3

"We’re finally here."

Jun Moqing followed her off the horse carriage and came to her side, looking at the mountains before them, he asked, "Is it convenient living in the mountains?"

Feng Qingyan hooked her lips into a smile, "Then you don’t know. Although the Wula Clan is up in the mountains, it doesn’t mean we’re poor. Some of our food is homegrown, and some we buy from the Market. There are several paths to the Market, so we never worry about food and drink."

Jun Moqing had thought they lived in a poor, remote area—

"I see."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see my mother-in-law," Feng Qingyan led Jun Moqing up the mountain.

Jun Moqing followed at a leisurely pace; he realized he knew too little about her before.

After walking for about two li, they saw a bamboo house that clearly had been there for many years.

Feng Qingyan pushed open the fence door and walked in, catching sight of a figure in the courtyard, squatting and picking vegetables. She called out, "Mother-in-law, I’m back."

The elderly lady known as the mother-in-law paused in her actions and looked back. Seeing Feng Qingyan, she appeared surprised.

"Why have you returned so early? Didn’t you say you were going to enjoy a few more days out?"

No sooner had the mother-in-law finished speaking, she saw the man behind Feng Qingyan. Her expression changed, "Why have you brought a strange man back? Have you forgotten the clan’s rules?"

Feng Qingyan glanced at Jun Moqing, then stepped forward, taking her mother-in-law’s arm, "Mother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you."

The mother-in-law glanced coldly at the man and asked, "What is it?"

Feng Qingyan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Mother-in-law, I went out once before, correct? And the mark of virginity was already gone, was it you who put it back on afterwards?"

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law’s face immediately hardened as she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Qingyan continued, "Mother-in-law, I’m no longer a Saintess. I’ve been diligent and responsible for so many years, would you still keep it from me?"

The mother-in-law still wore a cold expression, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. You go out once and come back talking nonsense, bringing a man with you. I think you’ve been deceived by a man."

Jun Moqing stepped forward two paces, lowered his gaze to the white-haired mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, Fengfeng is my wife, and we have a daughter, who is twenty years old this year. It should have been you who took Fengfeng away twenty years ago, correct?"

The mother-in-law scoffed, "What nonsense are you spouting? How old are you to be deceiving Ayang?"

Jun Moqing replied at a measured pace, "I am forty-two this year; I was twenty-one when I met Fengfeng."

The mother-in-law revealed an incredulous look, turning to Feng Qingyan as if seeking confirmation, "Ayang, is he really forty-two?"

Feng Qingyan nodded, "Mother-in-law, he truly is forty-two, with a twenty-year-old daughter. I saw it with my own eyes."

The mother-in-law scrutinized Jun Moqing, "Then who are you?"

Jun Moqing said, "I am the Master of the Dark Sect."

The title of Dark Sect Master was another identity of Jun Moqing, almost unknown alongside his identity as the National Master.

In the eyes of the world, the Dark Sect Master and National Master were two different people, both very formidable and mysterious.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyan was stunned. In all the days she had been with Jun Moqing, she hadn’t asked about his identity, knowing only that he was a very formidable person.

Could it be that he was actually the Dark Sect Master?

A figure from the legends, and now she was meeting him in person?

The mother-in-law, too, was shocked for quite some time, "So the Dark Sect Master is this young?"

Jun Moqing responded, "You flatter me, mother-in-law."

Feng Qingyan: "..."

Mother-in-law: "..."

At the table, the mother-in-law brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them.

The teacups were made of bamboo, their surfaces smoothed and polished to a shine.

Clasping her teacup, Feng Qingyan continued her inquiry, "Mother-in-law, did I truly give birth to a child? Is the mark of virginity on my arm fake?"

The mother-in-law sighed, a secret buried deep in her heart for so many years, never expecting Feng Qingyan would find out.

She also did not anticipate that Feng Qingyan would encounter the man from her past after just one trip outside.

Actually, the mother-in-law had never seen that man before.

When Feng Qingyan was chosen as the successor to the Saintess at fifteen, she suddenly disappeared at the age of sixteen, just when the Grand Ceremony for the Saintess’s succession was imminent. There was no room for delay.

When they found Feng Qingyan, she had already given birth to a child.

A successor to the Saintess having a child was a serious matter; it meant being locked away in Snake Mountain to be fed to the snakes.

Plus, the Saintess was selected a year in advance after careful selection; there was no time to choose another.

Even if they didn’t bring Feng Qingyan back, if other members of the clan found her, she would likely still meet the same fate of the snakes.

At that time, without regard for Feng Qingyan’s wishes, the mother-in-law forcibly took her back to Changyan Mountain.

To keep the clan elders from discovering that Feng Qingyan had a child, they had no choice but to reapply the mark of virginity on her.
