Chapter 232 Yuan Qing's Excitement
Ever since Lin Shushu appeared, Yuan Qing has been paying attention to her, partly because of her name and partly because of the sense of familiarity she brings him.
As Lin Shushu battled with Xuancang Daoist, Yuan Qing's heart clenched with each passing moment. Her hands clenched involuntarily, her nails digging deep into her palms, leaving deep indentations, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
This was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator's self-destruction! Could this young woman successfully stop it? Yuan Qing dared not imagine the consequences. The thought of this young woman losing her life here because of Xuan Cang Daoist's self-destruction caused her heart to ache inexplicably.
Just as Lin Shushu was fully activating the Star Mirror to fight against the self-destruction power of Xuan Cang Daoist, a strange light suddenly flashed on her neck. Then, a clear orchid mark gradually appeared.
Others might not have noticed, or even if they did, they wouldn't have felt anything special, but Yuan Qing was different.
The moment she saw the orchid mark, she was struck dumb, frozen in place. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, her mouth involuntarily opening as if to say something, but she was too stunned to speak by this sudden scene.
That mark... could there be an exact match in the world? No, it must be my daughter!
Yuan Qing wanted to rush up and ask for clarification, but she remained rational and knew she couldn't act rashly, otherwise she would only cause trouble.
Over the years, she has missed her daughter every moment. She often sees her daughter's smiling face in her dreams, but when she wakes up, all she has left are endless tears and longing.
At this moment, looking at the orchid mark on Lin Shushu's neck, Yuan Qing felt an indescribable surge of excitement and joy. She covered her mouth with her hands, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.
She finally understood why she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she first met Lin Shushu, as if there was an inseparable connection between them.
As she wept with joy, the battle in the arena reached its climax. Xuan Cang Daoist's self-destruction was in its final stage, and the terrifying power seemed to be about to destroy the entire world. The girl was already struggling to cope with it.
No, she absolutely couldn't let him succeed. In Yuan Qing's heart, that girl was like her own daughter; how could she just stand by and watch something happen to her?
In that instant, she thought of the power of the temple. She didn't know why she could mobilize that power, but if there was any power that could counter Xuan Cang Daoist's self-destruction, it was none other than it.
So she mobilized all the power of the temple, guiding it into the magical artifact that had been poured into the girl. She had seen that artifact before and knew that it originally belonged to this ruin, so she was certain that it could successfully integrate with the temple's power.
As expected, she guessed correctly. With the blessing of the temple's power, the girl's use of magical artifacts became even more powerful. Not only was the shattered space repaired, but the energy from Xuan Cang Daoist's self-destruction was also restrained and successfully sealed.
All of this further convinced Yuan Qing that the girl before him was his daughter; otherwise, why wouldn't the temple's power reject her? Although the magical artifact played a part, didn't this just prove that she had a close relationship with him? Otherwise, why would she receive such preferential treatment from the ruins?
As Yuan Qing watched Lin Shushu slowly approach, the face she had depicted countless times in her dreams gradually solidified on her face. At this moment, the image of her daughter became tangible, no longer an intangible phantom.
Yuan Qing could no longer contain her excitement, and she rushed towards Lin Shushu without hesitation. At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to hold her daughter tightly and never let go again.
"Shushu, my daughter!" Yuan Qing's voice trembled, filled with endless longing and deep affection. Her tears flowed like a burst dam, blurring her vision, but she didn't care at all.
Lin Shushu caught Yuan Qing who rushed towards her, letting her hug her. She was somewhat surprised that Yuan Qing recognized her. Was this the bond of blood? Come to think of it, Lin Cheng'an was in a similar situation back then.
She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Those who had been watching her closely heard Yuan Qing's call and were deeply moved.
"This...this is unbelievable!"
"Yes, I never expected they were mother and daughter!"
The crowd began to discuss it, their voices filled with emotion and surprise.
Now, they had no choice but to re-examine this descendant of the Yuan family. They had already sworn to help her find the murderer who wiped out the entire Yuan family, and now that the person who saved them was actually her daughter, what more could they say?
Previously, I only agreed to do it because of a vow, but now I do it out of gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
Lin Shushu was held in Yuan Qing's arms, and a warm current surged in her heart—a warmth and peace she had never felt before. Feeling Yuan Qing's embrace and listening to her cries, the joy in her heart slowly grew. This trip to the cultivation world had finally been worthwhile.
Although she had accepted Yuan Qing in her heart, she couldn't bring herself to call him by that name for the time being, and some things were not suitable to be discussed here.
She gently patted Yuan Qing on the back, reminding her that there were still some things to take care of.
Feeling her daughter's movement, Yuan Qing finally snapped out of her excitement. She released Lin Shushu, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Don't you doubt my identity?"
If it were her, and someone suddenly appeared claiming to be her mother, a mother she hadn't seen for over twenty years, her first reaction would be disbelief, followed by rejection.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qing's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Lin Shushu uneasily, afraid of seeing disgust and hatred on her face.
Thankfully, neither of those apply, but she still cautiously asked, "How did you get here?"
"We can talk about these things later. Let's deal with the immediate issues first." Lin Shushu had already noticed that the people present clearly had something to discuss with Yuan Qing, but they didn't want to bother her because of her presence.
Yuan Qing then calmed down and looked at the people present. Seeing their expectant gazes, she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to release the younger generation of these people before Xuan Cang Daoist arrived. This delay might have caused them any harm during the recent events.
To be honest, she hadn't expected these people to defend her in front of Daoist Xuancang. Regardless of their motives, the fact remained that they had saved her. With that in mind, she quickly activated the formation, teleporting the people in the plaza into the main hall.
When those people appeared in the main hall, none of them were awake. However, the situation wasn't any worse than before.
Fortunately, Lin Shushu had just repaired the space here; otherwise, there really wouldn't have been enough room for so many people in such a mess.
Those present quickly located their sect's disciples and brought them to a revive. As for the Yuan family's enemies, they ignored them and left everything to Yuan Qing to handle.
