As she murmured, Xuanyuan Mo Ze followed her gaze. When his deep gaze fell on the little girl, his expression also carried a hint of trance.
It's been more than a year, and the two children will soon be four years old.
He gathered his thoughts and, embracing Feng Jiu beside him, said, "We've looked for quite a few regions and towns over the past year and four months. Perhaps the children aren't far from us."
"Well, the two younger ones are almost four years old, and Hao'er is almost ten. I just don't know what they've beco like these days. How much have they grown? Have they improved in cultivation? Have they thought of us?" Feng Jiu said softly, feeling an indescribable sense of loss.
"Let's find an inn and rest for a while! I'll go around the city and ask around to see if there's any news of them here," said Xuanyuan Mo Ze, taking her hand and walking together to the inn in front of them.
When they arrived at the inn and a room was booked for two people, they were about to go upstairs when a surprised voice suddenly ca.
"Feng Jiu?"
Hearing the voice, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu both stopped and looked back. At this glance, the two of them couldn't help but blink slightly.
"Murong Yixuan? Why are you here?"
Feng Jiu asked, looking at the man sitting at the corner table drinking. That man was precisely her forr fiancé, Murong Yixuan, whom she had not seen for a long ti, and had even almost forgotten about in her mories.
Murong Yixuan was wearing a green robe, his hair loose and half covering his outstanding face. He had a beard at the chin, which made him look less ethereal and more casual and carefree.
Compared to a few years ago, he has changed a lot. If he hadn't called out to Feng Jiu, they probably wouldn't have noticed him in the corner.
Murong Yixuan walked over, his gaze sweeping over Xuanyuan Mo Ze and landing on Feng Jiu. Looking at the still unchanged face, his eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "I didn't expect to et you here. Why don't we sit down and have a drink?"
Feng Jiu looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who nodded, and they went to sit together at the table in the corner.
After watching the two sit down, Murong Yixuan sat down as well, poured them each a glass of wine, and said, "I travelled around before arriving here. After all, people like have no fixed abode, and it's good to wander around and see the local customs."
He smiled, took a sip of wine, looked at the two n, and asked, "What about you? Why did you co to a place like this?"
Xuanyuan Mo Ze lifted his wine glass and drank without saying a word.
Feng Jiu, on the other hand, paused for a mont and said, "We ca out to look for our children."
"Looking for your children?" Murong Yixuan, who was drinking, was slightly startled and looked at her, asking, "What do you an?"
"Our children are missing, so we're out looking for them," Feng Jiu said slowly, and before he could ask, she continued, "They were sent away by the Devil Lord using an ancient blood curse during a fight with him. We don't know where they are, so we're out looking for them."
Murong Yixuan paused for a mont and said, "I have been wandering outside for too long, and I haven't gone back for a long ti. I don't know anything about what happened over there. Why don't you tell about it? What happened to the Devil Lord? Has the ancient black lotus been destroyed?"
There was nothing to be afraid of, so Feng Jiu told him everything.
After learning the whole story, Murong Yixuan understood and could only reply wryly, "I see."
