Chapter 83: Let Go
Seventh Young Master guessed half right—the lady did indeed cry.
He sighed in his heart as he looked at Seventh Young Master, whose eyes were dim in the distance, and whispered to the lady, "Why must you do this?"
These two, their awkwardness even made Zheng Fa feel entangled.
One entered the Qingmu Sect, ranting and raving against everything, but what truly delighted him was the phrase, ’I made my mother proud’, and what he anticipated the most was a few words of praise from her.
The other, unbeknownst to her son, had cried for who knows how long, her eyes still red, resulting in the son hesitating to face her when finally in front of her.
Indeed, they were blood-related.
The lady, startled, smiled awkwardly and also whispered softly, "...It’s so embarrassing for a mother to cry in front of her son."
Perhaps because Zheng Fa’s status had changed after entering the Jiushan Sect, or maybe because she knew he had seen through her, the lady was somewhat more candid: "I had held back my tears, but upon seeing that silly boy, I felt like crying again."
No matter how well Zheng Fa performs in the Immortal Item event, it wouldn’t make the lady rush to please him at this time.
It was just this awkward mother-son relationship; the lady found an excuse to hide the inadvertent true emotions she could not restrain.
"But I do want to curry favor with you, that’s true." After having spoken the most embarrassing thing, the lady seemed much more liberated: "Even Master Zhang said you have the greatest natural talent for talismanic magic in ten thousand years, and once you enter the Hundred Immortals Alliance, this silly boy might have to rely on your influence."
