Chapter 378 Is it my cousin?
At night, in a room of the inn, a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, about five or six years old, sat awkwardly on chairs, their four eyes looking at each other nervously and anxiously.
Opposite them sat two women and one man. The young woman in the middle, with a cool and beautiful face, was making tea slowly and elegantly.
After the tea was brewed, Su Qingning thoughtfully poured five cups of tea, one for each person.
"Try it." Su Qingning raised her chin and said to the twin boy and girl opposite.
Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen looked at each other, then picked up the teacup obediently and nodded to Su Qingning, "Thank you, sister."
"Ah."
Su Qingning responded calmly. She took a sip of tea and then asked calmly, "Xiaohan, Xiaochen, where is your home?"
Yun Xiaohan held the teacup and replied softly, "Fengling City."
It is Fengling City!
Su Qingning's heart moved, and she asked tentatively, "Your surname is Yun, could it be the young master and young lady of the Yun family in Fengling City?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen remained silent. Since they were young, their family had told them not to reveal their identities to strangers casually, and the siblings had always kept this in mind.
However, since they met Su Qingning, they seemed to have forgotten their family's warnings. They first told each other their names and then told each other where their homes were, so that the other party could directly guess that they were from the Yun family of Fengling City.
Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen were a little annoyed, but they did not regret it, simply because Su Qingning seemed to have some kind of magic that made them want to get close to her.
Moreover, they had a hunch that this beautiful sister in front of them would not hurt them, so the brother and sister nodded in unison, "Yes."
Su Qingning raised her eyebrows. They were actually the young lady and young master of the Yun family in Fengling City. It seemed that they were most likely her cousins!
At this moment, Su Qingning was very glad that they took the Qingfeng Mountain route, otherwise, the twin boy and girl in front of her, who were suspected to be her cousins, would probably have died on Qingfeng Mountain.
"Since you are the young ladies and young masters of the Yun family in Fengling City, how did you get captured in Qingfeng Mountain? Don't you have any guards to protect you?" Su Qingning was puzzled. "Besides, Fengling City is dozens of kilometers away from Qingfeng Mountain. There's no way that person went to Fengling City to capture you!"
The rescued children were all from several nearby cities, which meant that the man in white robes only moved around in several cities close to Qingfeng Mountain and should not have been to Fengling City.
So, how were these twin boys and girls caught?
Su Qingning looked at Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen suspiciously, and couldn't help but start to have conspiracy theories in her mind. Could it be that they were also framed by others like her mother?
The next moment, a soft, slightly guilty and embarrassed voice slowly sounded.
"We sneaked out on our own."
As Yun Xiaohan spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Su Qingning, then quickly lowered his head, seeming a little embarrassed and nervous, as if he was worried about being scolded.
Su Qingning really wanted to curse, but seeing how cautious and nervous the brother and sister were, she bit back the curse that was on the tip of her tongue.
"The world outside is very dangerous. Next time you go out, remember to bring bodyguards with you," said Su Qingning.
Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen were stunned for a moment when they didn't get scolded. Then they both breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, "Yeah, we got it."
Seeing that the twins were quite obedient, Su Qingning's anger subsided a lot.
"Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed early. We'll take you home tomorrow."
After saying that, Su Qingning and the other two went out.
In the room, Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen obediently climbed onto the bed and prepared to go to sleep.
However, before falling asleep, Yun Xiaohan couldn't help but be curious. She bent her elbow and nudged her brother beside her, whispering, "Xiaochen, do you think Sister Su looks kind?"
"Yes." Yun Xiaochen nodded and said, "She looks very similar to the portrait of my aunt hanging in Grandpa's study."
Yun Xiaohan frowned and speculated, "Do you think Sister Su is my aunt's daughter?"
"Think about it, my aunt has been missing for eighteen years. It's very likely that she got married and had children."
Yun Xiaochen carefully thought about the possibility in Yun Xiaohan's words and felt that this possibility was relatively high.
"You have a point." Yun Xiaochen nodded and said, "Although people are similar, Sister Su and Aunt do look too much alike. I don't believe they are not related by blood."
Yun Xiaohan was delighted to hear her brother agree with her. "So, Sister Su is very likely our cousin!"
Yun Xiaochen continued to nod, "That's possible."
"That's great." Yun Xiaohan cheered, "I like Sister Su. If she really is our cousin, that would be perfect."
Yun Xiaochen remained silent. To be honest, he also liked Su Qingning and hoped that she was his sister.
"Xiaochen, even though we didn't find Auntie, if we bring her daughter back, Grandpa will probably be happy, right?" Yun Xiaohan whispered, a hint of trepidation in her voice. "If Grandpa is happy, will he not mind us sneaking out of the Yun family? Will he not punish us?"
That’s right, Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen sneaked out of the Yun family just to find their aunt Yun Ruopiao.
Some time ago, the two heard the conversation between grandfather and eldest brother outside the study. They knew that they had never given up looking for aunt all these years, and they also knew that every time grandmother was sad, it was because she missed her aunt.
So, in order to remember their grandmother who had loved them since childhood, the brother and sister discussed it and decided to go out and look for their aunt.
But the brother and sister who had never left Fengling City underestimated the dangers of this world. Not long after they left Fengling City, they encountered bad guys. After escaping with great difficulty, they fell into the hands of the devil again. It was so miserable that the word "miserable" was not enough to describe it.
"I advise you not to take chances," Yun Xiaochen said softly, "Grandpa has always been fair and impartial. No matter who makes a mistake, there will be punishment. Even if we are young, if we do something wrong, we will be punished."
Hearing this, Yun Xiaohan's joyful mood instantly turned to depression, and his mouth drooped. "Okay! I understand."
Yun Xiaochen knew his sister was unhappy, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only change the subject and said, "Okay, let's stop talking. It's late. Go to bed early!"
"Oh~"
Yun Xiaohan responded gloomily, then closed her eyes and began to fall asleep. Originally, she thought she would have insomnia, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep in a minute.
Seeing that his sister fell asleep, Yun Xiaochen also closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
……
The next morning, after Su Qingning and the others checked out of the hotel, they went straight to the square, ready to take the teleportation array to Fengling City.
However, while queuing, Su Qingning and the others were attracted by the discussions around them.
"Hey, have you heard? The people from Sin City have escaped."
"What?! Is this true? Is this news reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable." The man patted his chest and assured, "This is the news I heard from Tongtian Tower, how could it be false?"
Tongtian Pavilion is the largest intelligence organization in Shenzhou Continent. It collects information from all over the continent. All the news coming out of Tongtian Pavilion is true.
So, when they heard that the news came from Tsutenkaku, everyone around believed it.
"Oh my god!" someone exclaimed. "How could someone from the City of Sin escape? Doesn't the Temple care?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a sarcastic sneer sounded beside him, "Ha! The temple wants to intervene, but it has to have the ability to do so!"
"what?"
Everyone was bewildered. Someone asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Could it be that the Temple can't defeat the man from the City of Sin?"
"Who told you that only one person escaped from Sin City?" The man sneered and said a terrifying news, "Everyone in Sin City has escaped."
"all?!"
Everyone exclaimed, their eyes widening in horror.
"How is this possible? How could the Temple allow such a thing to happen?" Someone was incredulous. "That's the City of Sin! Those exiled there are all the most vicious and evil people on the continent!"
"Evil? Ha!" The man laughed sarcastically again, "Who is a good person? Who is an evil person? Isn't it all just a matter of a word from the temple?"
"Hush! Are you crazy? You dare to say anything. Do you think you can judge the temple at will?"
"What am I afraid to say?" The man was not afraid at all. "Isn't what I said the truth? Do you dare to say that everyone in Sin City is a heinous villain?"
Everyone was silent. They naturally didn't dare to do that, because as far as they knew, there was a man in the City of Sin who had once saved everyone in the city. He was a hero.
But such a hero, because he avenged his relatives and killed his enemy's family, was exiled to the City of Sin by the Temple on the grounds that his sins were too serious.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about the temple anymore. Let's talk about those who came out of the City of Sin!" Someone changed the subject and asked, "What did the people from the City of Sin do after they came out?"
As soon as this question was asked, the man who had spoken earlier revealed a secretive expression. A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth and he said, "You've hit the nail on the head. After those people from Sin City came out, they did something big."
At this point, the man paused again. The others were so curious that they couldn't help but urge him, "Hey! Stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what big thing you did!"
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was piqued, the man slowly spoke: "Xuanjian Sect, you know! It has been occupied by the City of Sin."
what? !
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. The Xuanjian Sect was a sword sect that specialized in cultivating Dou Qi. While not as powerful as the Divine Temple, it was still a second-rate force. How could they be taken over like this?!
"There are so many forces on the continent, why did the City of Sin choose to occupy the Xuanjian Sect?" someone asked in confusion.
"Why else? Of course there's a grudge!" the man said mysteriously, "I heard there's a city lord in the City of Sin. He wasn't exiled to the City of Sin, but was hunted by the Xuanjian Sect and had to hide in the City of Sin. Now that he's out of the City of Sin, he naturally wants to seek revenge!"
"I see."
Everyone nodded in understanding, somewhat understanding the city lord's actions. If it were them, they would also choose revenge.
What is the City of Sin? It is a place of exile that is extremely cruel and evil. There is no good person in it. Once you enter the City of Sin, you are like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Without some ability, you will not be able to survive.
But the man who was forced into the City of Sin by the Xuanjian Sect not only survived, but also became the lord of the City of Sin!
This guy is really amazing! Everyone admired in their hearts.
In the crowd, Su Qingning and others heard their conversation clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the lord of the city of sin.
"The City of Sin? It seems quite interesting. The city lord's character of seeking revenge is quite good. If there is a chance, I would like to meet him in person."
Su Qingning's tone was full of interest. Mo Lintian thought that if they didn't have important business to attend to in Fengling City, she would probably have changed her route and gone directly to Xuanjian Sect.
Mo Lintian shook his head in amusement. He held Su Qingning's hand and said soothingly, "Maybe there will be a chance in the future."
Su Qingning nodded. She thought so too. Moreover, for some reason, she had a strong intuition that perhaps soon she would meet the lord of the City of Sin.
Before long, Su Qingning and her companions were in the team. After paying the spirit stones, they boarded the teleportation array to Fengling City.
A quarter of an hour later, the teleportation array in Fengling City Square lit up with a blue light, and five figures walked out of the teleportation array.
"Great, we are finally back." Yun Xiaohan cheered happily.
Su Qingning raised her eyes and looked around the bustling Fengling City, a hint of unknown emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Let's go! I'll take you home."
As Su Qingning spoke, she and Mo Lintian each held one of their hands and walked forward with the twin brother and sister.
Bai Zhi, who was walking behind, looked at the warm scene in front and felt that they looked like a family of four.
With Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen leading the way, they soon found the Yun family.
Looking at the tall courtyard not far ahead, Su Qingning stopped and did not move forward.
Seeing this, the others also stopped. Yun Xiaohan raised her head and looked at Su Qingning in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Su Qingning raised her hand and gently rubbed Yun Xiaohan's head, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaohan, Xiaochen, we will send you here, you can go back by yourselves!"
Hearing this, Yun Xiaohan became anxious. She grabbed Su Qingning's hand and asked anxiously, "Sister, aren't you going back with us? You saved us. Grandpa, Dad, and Brother will be grateful to you."
Su Qingning smiled and shook her head, comforting her: "Xiaohan, be good. Sister still has important things to do. When I'm done, I'll go to the Yun family to see you."
As she spoke, Su Qingning looked up at the tall courtyard not far away, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
She must join the Yun family, but not now.
