Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Yun Canglang showed a troubled expression and then glanced at Yun Sheng, noticing the girl deep in thought, unaware of what she might be pondering.

"Sheng'er, we have you to thank again for this time. Are you still thinking about what your third sister said earlier? Don't take it to heart; she has been jealous of your elder brother since she was young and never liked your mother much. You don't need to dwell on her words," Yun Canglang consoled.

"Uncle, have you ever met my mother? Why exactly is she so disfavored by the Old General?" Yun Sheng had never met Hu Jiusheng, but when she received the Beast Language Ring, she had seen a fragment of memory left in the ring by Hu Jiusheng.

The Hu Jiusheng in the memory fragment had an incomparable beauty and a gentle voice. She was a peerless woman, so how could she incur such dislike from General Yun.

Could it be that Mother had done something unforgivable or was her identity particularly special?

Yun Sheng had stayed with Yun Bahe for a while and, though she didn't like the Old General's quick-tempered nature, which could flare up at a moment's notice, she knew that her grandfather was not a bad person.

On the contrary, Yun Bahe detested evil and was extremely proud, with a fiery temper. If Hu Jiusheng had caused his displeasure, she must have violated some of his taboos.

"Sheng'er, your uncle has never met your mother. When your father was busy traveling year-round and brought your mother to the Yun Residence for New Year's, it happened to be during unrest on the frontier, and I was still stationed in the south. As for your third sister, she probably spent some time with your mother," Yun Canglang pondered for a moment. "Right, you could also ask Uncle Yun; he's always serving at Father's side and might know something."

Yun Sheng nodded.

"Sheng'er, earlier you inquired about the whereabouts of the red-robed man; are you planning to...?" Yun Canglang didn't want Yun Sheng to take any risks.

"Uncle, you might not know, but those so-called Blood Hand Ditch red-robed men, the mastermind behind them, is very likely to be from Dihong City. Don't you want to take this opportunity to settle any grievances and seek revenge?" Yun Sheng revealed a sly smile.

Yun Bahe was meditating and practicing breathing exercises in the training room.

After circulating his fighting spirit for one cycle, he discovered that the fighting spirit accumulated in his body had become much scarcer than before.

What the little girl said turned out to be true; given a few more days, I might truly be no match for Tian Quezi in a contest.

Cangxue, she actually dared to poison me.

With his breathing unsteady, Yun Bahe decided not to continue meditating.

"Master, the people have been settled," Uncle Yun quietly entered. "The Young Master has been brought back, and we have the Young Miss to thank for this time."

"Humph, that clever girl, to think she could uproot the entire Blood Hand Ditch in just a few days. Is that useless Tang Yu alright?" Yun Bahe seemed somewhat unconvinced.

He never expected that within his own territory in the northwest, even someone like Tang Yu couldn't be properly looked after.

This had given the Blood Hand Ditch and people from Hou Qin the opportunity to take advantage.

"He's alright, just a little dispirited. I've found a civilian residence outside the city to settle them," Uncle Yun knew Yun Bahe was genuinely aggravated this time, especially since Yun Cangxue nearly exposed the Young Miss's origins in the end.

"That girl has a temper that could smash a pot, Cangxue's words surely have made her suspicious. If she comes asking you these days, you mustn't tell her about the past events. It would not have come to this if Cangxue hadn't accidentally overheard my conversation with Canghai back then," Yun Bahe looked quite distressed.

"But Master, the Young Miss is as clear-hearted as a mirror. Her current status is also not simple, and there are already several forces by her side that can protect her. Sooner or later, she will learn the truth about what happened," Uncle Yun said. During the escort of Yun Cangxue and her daughter, he also asked Tang Yu a few questions, wanting to know who was behind their rescue.

But the normally unrestrained young master, this time, clenched his teeth tight and remained utterly silent, even when questioned by the third miss.

Looking at him, the person in question seemed to be quite formidable.

"It's precisely because she has gradually established her own power, and her character is so strong-willed, that I'm worried. If one day she finds out that her mother isn't actually dead, and the poison inside Canghai's body was because... What do you think, with her temperament, will she just let it go?" Yun Bahe is the Great Zhou Martial Saint, who fears neither heaven nor earth.

But every time he spoke of the power that forced his eldest son to abandon their family, a power so great that he had no choice but to ruthlessly cast out the couple, his face would involuntarily change color.

The darkness on this continent is only the tip of the iceberg.

Yun Sheng, despite her extraordinary talent, was not yet powerful enough to defy the heavens.

He could not let his granddaughter take any risks.

"Yun Song, don't forget that Empress Li was secretly imprisoned and met a tragic end because of that affair. Leaving aside that terrifying power, we must also consider the pressure from the Royal Family," Yun Bahe was also concerned about this.

"Master, I understand. I will not tell the young miss about these matters," Uncle Yun sighed. The master was right, the strength of the Eldest Young Master back in the day was strong enough.

The Eldest Young Master Yun Canghai had exceptional talent, and much of the young miss's gift could be traced back to him.

Yun Canghai was only in his twenties when he became a Sky Mage, yet he fell to his current plight faced with that dreadful power.

The young miss is indeed talented, but she still falls short of the Eldest Young Master's cultivation as a Sky Mage.

Both Yun Bahe and Uncle Yun had made up their minds in their hearts; even if Yun Sheng was unwilling to acknowledge her ancestry, they would protect her well.

In Yujing, they couldn't allow anyone to harm the young miss.

Just as Yun Bahe predicted, it wasn't long before Yun Sheng indeed sought out Uncle Yun.

However, with Yun Bahe's earlier admonition, no matter how she inquired, Uncle Yun firmly denied knowing anything about the origins of Yun Sheng's mother.

Feeling helpless, Yun Sheng had no choice but to give up on the idea of prying information from Uncle Yun.

She thought again and remembered that her mother's surname was Hu, which is quite rare on the continent; perhaps she could find some clues based on the surname.

Yun Sheng simply issued a task through the local Hunter Soldier Union in Yujing, looking for information related to families or individuals with the surname "Hu."

As long as someone had some clues, they could contact her through the Hunter Soldier Union.

After coming up empty in her inquiries, Yun Sheng returned to the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, slightly dejected.

To her surprise, she encountered Ye Beiming.
