Chapter 378: Chapter 378: What if I said I have a way to find your daughter?
He Kejun’s disappearance was related to an apprentice she once planned to take in.
That person had been exceptionally kind to her in every possible way, attending to her every need with absolute devotion.
She had nearly softened her heart enough to accept her, but then Kejun went missing after being left in her care for just an afternoon.
Despite fervent pleas afterward, Liu Suqing still found the loss unbearable, suffering from endless nights of insomnia, rapidly withering away.
Afterward, she embarked on the search for her daughter.
She traveled to more than fifty locations, spending nearly half of her savings, yet not a single piece of news about Kejun surfaced.
Then, she divorced her husband and moved here to live on her own, healing while continuing to seek information about her daughter.
Twenty years had passed, and her heart had long since turned to ash.
Yet, at the moment Jiang Li reopened her wounds, she unexpectedly felt a faint glimmer of hope.
Hope that she might see her beloved daughter one more time before her life came to an end.
This was also why she chose to help Lin Manru.
As a mother herself, she deeply understood her sacrifice for her daughter, and she did not want to leave her with any regrets.
With this thought, Liu Suqing smiled bitterly and sighed.
"So many years have passed. Even if I am fixated, it’s time to let go. It’s nice to just plant flowers and tend to the grass on this mountain. I don’t ask for anything more."
"What if I told you I have a way to find your daughter?"
"What, what?"
Liu Suqing could hardly believe what she had heard.
Fearing she was hallucinating, she quickly grasped Jiang Li’s hand, "What did you just say?"
Jiang Li smiled and patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "I said I have a way to find your daughter."
Liu Suqing’s lips parted, and she froze on the spot.
Jiang Li explained, "I have calculated that your Children Palace is not yet exhausted. There is still an unsevered fate between you and your daughter. As for how to find her..."
She cleared her throat and continued, "Were you not previously puzzled by how I found you? In fact, I derived your general location using a special Mystical Skill of Xuan Sect, based on your Four Pillars of Destiny and facial features. If I had the detailed Four Pillars of Destiny of your daughter, it shouldn’t be hard to calculate her location."
Liu Suqing stood up excitedly, "Really, really?"
She paced around, excitement barely contained, yet fearing this expectation might be dashed just like countless times before, she tried desperately to suppress the palpitations in her heart.
"Alright, I will tell you her Four Pillars of Destiny... it’s fine even if you can’t figure it out. I just want to know she’s safe."
Jiang Li pinched her fingertips and said, "Master, rest assured, the divination indicates your daughter is healthy and living well."
"Really, really?!"
"Really."
Despite her best efforts to control herself, Liu Suqing couldn’t help but cover her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes.
"That’s wonderful, so wonderful..."
She had waited twenty long years for news of her daughter.
Even just knowing her daughter was healthy fulfilled her completely.
Jiang Li slowly exhaled, "The specific location might require some calculations at home. It’s not a simple task, so please, Master, be patient."
"I’m not in a rush, take your time," Liu Suqing hastily gestured.
Though her words were calm, she seemed anything but patient.
Understandably so, after searching for twenty years, ready to depart from this life with regrets, anyone told there’s a chance of meeting that person would be unspeakably excited.
Jiang Li comforted Liu Suqing a few more words, realizing that her emotions could not be settled in a moment, and then simply said,
"Wait for me at the foot of the mountain tomorrow afternoon. Make sure to rest well tonight."
"Alright."
Liu Suqing agreed briskly, yet she spent the whole night tossing and turning.
She woke up early the next morning and arranged her hair over and over again, becoming both annoyed and worried at the sight of her partially grey hair.
If she really found Kejun, with her appearance now, would Kejun still recognize her?
It would be normal if she didn’t recognize her, after all, Kejun was only four years old when she went missing.
Would Kejun despise her appearance?
Was Kejun living well? Had she been bullied?
Or perhaps she was already married with children?
Thus, Liu Suqing paced back and forth all morning, and before noon even arrived, she hastily had her meal and descended the mountain.
Jiang Li knew Liu Suqing would definitely be restless, so she arrived at the foot of the mountain early the next day.
But still, she arrived slightly later than Liu Suqing.
Observing her completely refreshed look and the suitcase in her hand, Jiang Li couldn’t help but suppress a smile.
"Master, why are you bringing a suitcase?"
Now it was Liu Suqing’s turn to be baffled, "Aren’t we going to find Kejun? Of course, I have to pack properly."
She had already prepared to traverse the entirety of Hua Country, of course, going abroad was also an option, and her passport was already tucked into the suitcase.
Jiang Li just smiled without saying a word, welcomed her into the car, and said, "You definitely won’t be disappointed."
The car started slowly, making its way towards the city center.
When the sedan stopped smoothly in front of a shopping mall, Liu Suqing was even more bewildered.
"Girl, why have you brought me here?"
Jiang Li opened the car door for her, and spoke with a hint of mystery, "Just follow me."
Liu Suqing had a vague idea of what was going on, and her heart started to race uncontrollably once more.
She steadied herself with Jiang Li’s hand before managing to stand firm.
Jiang Li led her into the mall and up to the fifth floor.
Liu Suqing felt a sense of familiarity with this place.
That’s because at the end of the corridor was the Huaxiu shop she had previously collaborated with.
Seeing the familiar sign, Liu Suqing was even more perplexed.
"Here...."
Jiang Li gestured for her to go in.
The shop employee greeted the two warmly upon seeing them.
"What would our esteemed guests like to look at?"
She was a newly transferred waitress who didn’t recognize Jiang Li and Liu Suqing at first glance, but seeing their distinguished attire, she treated them like VIP customers.
Jiang Li nodded, "We’re just browsing."
At these words, the employee realized their chance of buying clothes was not high, and felt a twinge of disappointment, but still managed a forced smile and welcomed them in.
Although Liu Suqing didn’t understand Jiang Li’s intentions, she trusted Jiang Li’s character, and thus followed silently into the shop.
The employee patiently showed them the store’s new collection, and Jiang Li nodded perfunctorily before turning to Liu Suqing.
Liu Suqing always wore her heart on her sleeve, and upon seeing the mediocre garments, she couldn’t hide her look of disdain.
"Has Huaxiu recently changed to a new designer? The design flair has declined terribly, this is a brand that once collaborated with the Golden Brocade Pavilion, how come the quality control is so lax now? Look at these stitches, where have they gone to?"
At that moment, the shop employee Song Man couldn’t maintain her composure any longer.
Who is this old lady, daring to criticize their Huaxiu clothes so freely?
