So many years had passed.
Luo Qiu and the Divine Sect had always coexisted in peace.
She had also been quite polite to Mo Yan.
However, once the topic of that woman from the past came up, Luo Qiu would become extremely agitated.
Hearing this, Mo Yan could only say "I'm sorry".
"But if you don't tell me, we won't be able to work together on this matter."
Luo Qiu sneered, "Even if I tell you, do you think you can find her?"
Mo Yan was rendered speechless by Luo Qiu's words.
Yes, if he could find her, he wouldn't have waited for five hundred years.
As usual, Luo Qiu mocked Mo Yan and then left the Divine Sect.
When she was about to leave the Ghost Domain, she met Mo Bai.
Mo Bai was leaning against a withered tree by the lake, looking nonchalant.
But Luo Qiu could tell at a glance that Mo Bai was waiting for her there.
"Are you leaving, senior?"
Luo Qiu gave a soft response.
Mo Bai walked up to Luo Qiu and said respectfully, "Actually, I've always had a question I'd like to ask you, senior."
"Speak."
"Are you my mother?"
Luo Qiu looked at Mo Bai.
Her expression was one of shock.
However, it was precisely this expression that made Mo Bai realize that his previous assumptions were unfounded.
"Okay, I know the answer."
Still, Luo Qiu said, "I have nothing to do with your father."
"I thought so."
Mo Bai lowered his head and forced a smile.
"Why?"
She rarely showed up. Luo Qiu didn't understand why Mo Bai would have such a misunderstanding about her, and why he could accept her denial so quickly.
"If you were my mother, I don't believe you would be so heartless. I've never seen you once during all these years of my growth."
"Yes, I have nothing to do with you, a junior."
Mo Bai smiled.
"However, senior, is there any connection between my mother and you? Or have you ever seen my mother? What did she look like? And what was her personality like?"
Luo Qiu didn't want to answer such questions.
Mo Bai naturally noticed this.
He almost pleaded, "If you know, senior, please tell me. I've never seen my mother, and I don't know what she looks like. None of the disciples in the Divine Sect know about my mother either. I just want to know. If she's still alive, who is she? If she's gone, where is her tomb? As her child, I can't do much for her, but at least I should offer a stick of incense on Tomb - Sweeping Festival."
Luo Qiu replied indifferently, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me."
"So, senior, does it mean you know about this matter?"
Luo Qiu didn't answer and was about to leave.
But Mo Bai had no intention of letting her go at this moment.
He pushed off the ground with his toes and quickly darted forward, blocking Luo Qiu's way.
"Since you're the one who knows, senior, it won't hurt to tell me."
Luo Qiu stopped in mid - air.
Through her black veil, she looked at the man in front of her and said softly, "Do you want to stop me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"You can't stop me either, Mo Bai. You're a rising star with extraordinary talent, but with your attainments over the past few decades, trying to stop me is just a pipe dream."
"I don't want to make things difficult for you, senior. I just want to know the truth. Please don't force me to take action."
A ripple appeared in Luo Qiu's calm eyes.
"You're just as ungrateful as your father."
The copper token in Mo Bai's hand back then was a sacred object that she had split in two and given to him personally.
Even if she couldn't be said to have done a great favor to Mo Bai, there should at least be no enmity between them.
A gentle breeze blew.
The veil fluttered.
Seeing that Luo Qiu had no intention of telling him and was about to leave again, Mo Bai couldn't help but attack her.
All of a sudden, the sky in the ancient wilderness darkened abruptly.
The stones and sand around them slowly gathered.
Both of them were emitting light.
Mo Bai launched an attack and summoned his primordial spirit monster.
Luo Qiu gave a soft laugh.
"An ant trying to shake a tree."
She simply closed and then opened her hands. As she waved her hands in front of her, a huge lotus shield appeared beside her.
And this shield easily blocked Mo Bai's attack.
Mo Bai's eyes widened in horror.
The woman in front of him had unfathomable skills. Even he, at his current level, couldn't even make a dent in her.
No wonder over the years, every time his father saw her, he would always act humbly and address her as "senior".
She truly deserved this title.
Luo Qiu simply blocked Mo Bai's attack.
But Mo Bai also felt a sense of familiarity from her move.
The feeling she gave him was somewhat similar to that of Ning Ning.
For example, their shields were both in the shape of lotuses.
Luo Qiu withdrew her spiritual power and said coldly, "Overestimating your own strength."
After saying that, she was about to leave.
Mo Bai quickly said, "Senior, who taught you that spiritual power shield? Where did you learn it from?"
Luo Qiu stopped.
Mo Bai continued, "Senior, this technique of yours is very similar to that of a friend of mine. Could you please tell me about it?"
Luo Qiu turned around.
Her eyes became sharp.
She said, "You've seen such a technique?"
"Basically similar."
How could that be?
This technique was copied from a book left to her by her elder sister.
"What's the name of the person you saw?"
"Are you very concerned about this person, senior?"
"Just tell me. Don't talk about other things."
"In that case, why don't we exchange the information we want to know, senior?"
Luo Qiu's eyes became dangerous.
She squinted slightly.
She said coldly, "Are you bargaining with me?"
"You need chips to have the capital to bargain. If you're not willing, then this matter can just end like this."
Judging from the excited look on the woman's face when he mentioned this technique, Mo Bai was almost certain that she would exchange the information with him.
"Your mother was originally an adopted daughter your father took in in Loulan. She was pretty and amiable. She came to the Ghost Domain with your father. She hanged herself not long after giving birth to you."
Mo Bai's heart skipped a beat.
"What was my mother's name?"
"Wanwan."
Wanwan was a very gentle name.
"I want to know where my mother's tomb is."
Luo Qiu shook her head.
"There's no tomb."
"Why?"
"Ask your father."
Mo Bai stopped. His pupils dilated as if he understood something.
He lowered his head and murmured, "I see."
"What about the information I want?"
"Her name is Ning Ning. You should know her."
"Zhao Shuning?"
"Yes."
There was a look of confusion in Luo Qiu's eyes.
She couldn't be her elder sister, but she should have some connection with her elder sister. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen the red lotus between her eyebrows thirty years ago.
