Chapter 2635: Rebellion
Zu An’s journey to the spacetime fragment and the ancient Celestial Court world hadn't felt long to him, but he'd come back to find that three years had passed in this world. Many things were bound to have changed within three years.
His infant daughter would have already grown up.
He took a deep breath and entered the city gate. He didn’t fly in, as the capital was the stronghold of the human race; it was protected by many formations and experts. He would cause too huge of a commotion by flying in. He wouldn’t be able to quietly do what he wanted once someone recognized him.
But as he passed by the city gates, he couldn’t help but notice that the soldiers’ inspections were much stricter than usual. That brought a frown to his face. Has Linglong not eradicated the monster remnants yet?
However, the capital was as bustling as usual. The populace didn’t seem fazed, so he didn’t think too much about it.
He made his way to the Sang manor. It looked the same as ever. Bi Linglong had intended to bestow Sang Hong with a larger manor, but the latter had rejected it. The Sang clan had few family members, so a larger manor would have only felt cold. It wouldn’t be as warm as their current manor.
Zu An headed straight to the backyard instead of entering via the main entrance—he wanted to give them a surprise. To his surprise, however, there was no one in Zheng Dan and Sang Qien’s rooms.
“Did they go out for a walk?” Zu An was disappointed.
Suddenly, he spotted a fair-skinned girl sitting on the steps, eating something that resembled a black lump. The fragrance of a sweet potato wafted in the air. He walked over and saw the girl wiping her mouth every now and then while munching the sweet potato. This resulted in her chubby cheeks being smeared black like a spotted kitten.
The girl leaped in shock when she realized that someone else was here, and she instinctively hid the sweet potato behind her. But when she saw it was Zu An, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I thought it was mother.” She took out the sweet potato and continued munching on it.
“Who’s your mother?” Seeing the girl’s familiar big eyes, Zu An could already fathom a guess about her identity.
“Mother is mother,” the girl mumbled through her full mouth. She thought that this uncle had asked a weird question.
