Chapter 1758: A white lie
However, she later sent people to look for them, but there was no news. Then, it was very likely that they were eaten by those ferocious beasts. There was also a very small possibility that they were saved by some strong exponents. Otherwise, itâs impossible to have no news about them.
However, she also knew that such a possibility was one in a million, a very slim chance. But at this moment, she could only tell them this white lie.
âSaved by a Taoist priest?â Su Xi looked at Feng Jiu with astonishment. âThen, then what happened after that?â
Feng Jiu looked up at her. âAt that time, we just arrived there. However, the Taoist priest said that the two children were predestined with him and wanted to take them away as disciples. I didnât agree. However, the Taoist priest said that if he didnât help them, the two children would have died, so he had to take them away. He only said that when the two children made achievements in their studies, they would come home.â
At this moment, Feng Jiu felt that her fabricated story was flawless. If she hadnât known in her heart what was going on, she might have believed it!
At this moment, she never thought that the white lies she had woven for them were so close to the truth that even she thought it was incredible when she saw the two children again in the futureâŠ
âSo, thatâs what happenedâŠâ Su Xi murmured, showing a relieved smile. âAs long as they are alright, as long as they are still alive⊠â
After experiencing extreme mood swings as well as spending many days in anxiety, she lost consciousness immediately after her stress loosened up.
âSu Xi, Su Xi!â Feng Sanyuan called out anxiously.
âGrandfather, donât worry. Grandmother just canât bear the fatigue. Let her have a good rest and she will recover.â Feng Jiu told him gently. She called out, âLeng Shuang, take grandfather and grandmother to have a rest.â
âYes.â Leng Shuang replied and came in quickly to help Su Xi up.
Feng Sanyuan looked at Feng Jiu and sighed softly. âI have something to ask you later.â
Feng Jiuâs eyes flashed. She nodded. âAlright.â
As soon as they left, Feng Jiu sat down. She could only let out a sigh. Her joy and excitement of seeing Grandfatherâs safe return were diminished when she thought of Little Feng Ye and Sunny. She felt both anguish and helplessness.
âYouâre the one who saved my grandfather and grandmother?â Feng Jiu asked Murong Yixuan.
Hearing this, Murong Yixuan, who was drinking tea, smiled and looked up at her. âHow did you know?â Just now, Old Patriarch Feng hadnât had the time to tell her. Moreover, judging from their manner, they shouldnât have received the message he sent some time ago.
âThe palace burnt by that big fire was where you previously resided. Now that you reappear here together with my grandfather and grandmotherâs safe return, who else saved them other than you?â
âI only did it by chance.â Murong Yixuan looked at the red-dressed, ravishingly beautiful Feng Jiu. âAt that time I just thought to go back to have a look, not expecting to encounter this accident. However, my ability is limited, so I can only save them secretly.â
Feng Jiu stood up and walked up to him. âIn any case, I want to thank you for saving them.â She bowed and saluted him. âThank you. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I wonât refuse as long as itâs within my power.â
A glimmer flashed in Xuanyuan Mo Zeâs eyes as he heard this promise and looked at Murong Yixuan.
