Xianxian looked at the masked Blue Skirt Girl, who was trembling and walking towards the Purple Bamboo Forest with tears streaming down her face, and softly asked, “Tan Ge, who is she?”
“She’s called Little Qing, my sworn sister,” Tan Yun said sadly. “This is her home.”
“Tan Ge, she seems very sad!” Xianxian transmitted a message to Tan Yun.
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded. Then, he and the other women followed Fang Zhiqing toward the Purple Bamboo Forest.
“Dad, Mom, your unworthy daughter has returned. Come out and see your daughter!” Fang Zhiqing cried out, “I am your daughter, Fang Zhiqing... Wuwu...”
“Fang Zhi, Zhiqing!” Xianxian’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, thinking to herself, “It can’t be. Fang Zhiqing was once the nine heavens immortal emperor. I’ve heard she has been dead for many thousands of years. It must not be her.”
At that moment, a frail and old voice echoed from within the Purple Bamboo Forest, filled with displeasure, “Who is making a racket here!”
Hearing this familiar old voice, Fang Zhiqing, who was crying, trembled violently!
Soon, a white-haired, extremely old man floated out from the Purple Bamboo Forest.
The old man had empty sleeves, clearly having lost both arms.
Looking at the small, hunchbacked old man, Fang Zhiqing was initially taken aback, then ecstatically shouted, “Uncle Ye, is that you?”
The old man, radiating the aura of the twelfth level of the emperor sovereign realm, was none other than the former old steward of the Nine Heavens Immortal Manor, Ye Liang!
When the words “Uncle Ye” reached Ye Liang’s ears, he felt a wave of warmth.
This was a term of endearment that only the deceased nine heavens immortal emperor had ever used to call him.
“Little girl, you are...” Ye Liang frowned.
“Uncle Ye, it’s me! I am Fang Zhiqing!” Tears streamed down Fang Zhiqing’s face. “After I died back then, I reincarnated.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Liang’s frail body began to tremble violently. He stared at the masked Blue Skirt Girl and asked, “You are... the immortal emperor sir?”
“Mm, yes, it’s me,” Fang Zhiqing choked out.
“Thud!” Ye Liang suddenly knelt in front of Fang Zhiqing, tears streaming down his face. “Immortal emperor sir, I knew your talent was extraordinary, and you would definitely reincarnate.”
“I have finally waited for you... Wuwu...”
Seeing the scene of the master and servant recognizing each other, Tan Yun and Shen Subing were deeply moved and felt a sense of relief for Fang Zhiqing.
Xianxian, who stood beside Tan Yun, was completely stunned!
She was so shocked that she couldn’t utter a word!
Although she wasn’t born yet when Fang Zhiqing died, she had heard countless legends about her.
In those legends, Fang Zhiqing was guided by the primeval supreme and revealed astonishing talent, becoming one of the top ten powerhouses in the nine heavens immortal realm.
Moreover, she single-handedly challenged the nine ancient figures of the nine heavens immortal realm, and despite being heavily injured, defeated all nine powerful figures!
“This is a secret; don’t forget your vow.” Just as Xianxian was in shock, Tan Yun’s voice echoed in her mind.
“I-I... I understand.” Xianxian was clearly frightened by Fang Zhiqing’s identity, her voice trembling as she spoke.
At this time, after supporting Ye Liang, Fang Zhiqing looked at him with anticipation and asked, “Uncle Ye, before I died, I asked you to save my parents. Where are they now?”
However, Ye Liang’s subsequent words struck Fang Zhiqing like a bolt of lightning, leaving her frozen in place!
“Immortal emperor sir, I’m sorry, I’m useless!” Ye Liang, with murky tears streaming down, recounted, “Immortal emperor sir, back then, I followed your orders to rescue your parents, but although I was at the sixth stage of the great emperor realm, I was no match for the life-snatching divine hound.”
“The life-snatching divine hound crippled my arms and then killed your parents.”
