Chapter 329 - 277: Thousand of Forest, Flower Raccoon! (Double - )
Just as he was pondering with the Spirit Crystal in hand, Su Qingqing’s knock came from outside the room.
"Young Master, have you rested?"
Song Changming put down the Spirit Crystal and said slowly, "Come in."
Su Qingqing stepped inside, her face showing some hesitation.
"Have a seat." Song Changming pointed to the chair by the table, having anticipated that Su Qingqing would seek him out tonight.
Ever since hearing about the Changsheng Su Family during the day, Su Qingqing had been unusually silent, distracted, even barely touching the meal at the inn’s table.
It was clear she had something on her mind, or perhaps she had realized something.
"I apologize for disturbing your rest, Young Master, but I have a matter..." After sitting down, Su Qingqing hesitated for a moment before stating her intention.
"I want to go to the Cui Bai Main City!"
Song Changming understood and said, "It’s because of the Changsheng Su Family."
"Yes..." Su Qingqing nodded.
According to Meng Jianli, the Changsheng Su Family was located in Yun Province, rooted in Cui Bai Main City.
"So, are you sure you belong to that Su Family?" Song Changming couldn’t help but ask.
"When I was young, I occasionally heard the words ’Changsheng’ from my mother’s mouth. Coupled with my surname, it should not be wrong; I only need to go and see to be sure..." Su Qingqing said softly, lowering her head.
Song Changming nodded, observing Su Qingqing’s expression.
Although she said it shouldn’t be wrong, her heart was still uneasy, filled with apprehension and nervousness, her emotions complex.
Song Changming understood that Su Qingqing’s worry was not whether this Su Family was or was not hers, but rather something else.
Years ago, when her parents disappeared, the family sent her to the Other Shore of the Abyss to fend for herself.
This matter had led her to imagine many possibilities in her heart, keenly wanting to know the reason, and even more so wanting to know if her parents were now safe.
"If that’s the case, then go take a look. It’s best to figure it out, to know the outcome." Song Changming agreed.
"Young Master..." Su Qingqing’s eyes brightened as she looked at Song Changming.
"However, you must be mentally prepared. Whatever the reason back then, that Su Family abandoned you. This is an undeniable fact. This time going back, they may not accept you.
As for your parents..."
Song Changming didn’t continue.
What he said was straightforward enough, not pouring cold water, but ice water.
"Just like the Young Master said, it’s best to figure it out." Su Qingqing nodded, her expression much more determined compared to when she first entered, as if she had convinced herself, dispelling her hesitant thoughts.
"Alright, we’ll set off in a couple of days." Song Changming nodded.
"Young Master, have an early rest."
Only after receiving the desired answer did Su Qingqing rise and leave.
For the next two days, Song Changming and his party rested well, continuing to stay in Feng City, learning about the local customs and culture.
They all gained more understanding of the place.
Overall, Da Lai and the Ancient Abyss share the same origin. Many inherited customs and habits have traces to follow and are generally the same, differing only in details.
Thus, the four quickly adapted to the place.
That night, the four gathered at Fengling Pavilion.
This place is a refined, upper-class location in Feng City.
Li Jinyu heard of the famous Immortal Brew here and came to try it.
In a secluded room on the second floor.
"The cost here is indeed quite high." Song Ping’an murmured, downing the cup of bright red wine, feeling warmth in his stomach, a sense of euphoria sweeping over him.
"But this wine is indeed an Immortal Brew, true to its name!"
"Haha, not bad, not bad. This wine for ten Spirit Coins is better than the fine wine sold in the market yesterday!" Li Jinyu laughed heartily after tasting the wine, clapping his hands and looking at Song Changming.
"Changming, you asked why I insisted on coming to the Ancient Abyss? This is it."
Seeing Li Jinyu pointing at the Yuhuxian wine, Song Changming couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
Perhaps due to seeing through too much of the world, Li Jinyu had always been carefree and spontaneous, genuinely caring about different things than most.
Today it’s about this wine, tomorrow it might be about some trivial matter.
"I plan to take Qingqing to the main city on Cui Bai Dao tomorrow. What are your plans, Brother Jin Yu?" Song Changming suddenly asked.
Initially, the agreement with Li Jinyu was only to bring him to the Ancient Abyss Country.
Now that they were in Feng City, this agreement had been fulfilled. He had things he needed to do, and if Li Jinyu had other plans, they would part ways next.
He didn’t believe Li Jinyu came to the Ancient Abyss Country just for this wine.
"Leaving so soon? I thought we’d stay a few more days." Li Jinyu shook his head.
"As such, I’m reluctant to part with you..."
Song Changming raised his eyebrows. Li Jinyu’s words clearly indicated he too had his business to attend to and planned to separate from him.
Among the four of them, perhaps only Song Ping’an followed Song Changming purely, while the remaining three came to the Ancient Abyss Country each with their own purpose.
"This wine has indeed become our farewell wine." Song Changming chuckled softly, lifting his glass to clink with Li Jinyu’s.
"Heh heh." Li Jinyu chuckled, not revealing the true purpose of his trip to the Ancient Abyss Country.
Everyone has their secrets, and Song Changming did not pry further, simply ordering more wine.
"But the roads in the Ancient Abyss Country are perilous. Are you confident to travel alone, Brother Jin Yu?" Song Changming continued to ask.
"Don’t worry, I have my ways. After I finish my business, I will surely meet Brother Changming again." Li Jinyu seemed not worried at all about himself, responding in this manner.
"Alright." Hearing this, Song Changming was not overly concerned.
Although Li Jinyu didn’t have profound cultivation in the Martial Tao, Song Changming had confidence in his self-preservation skills.
As they spoke, the door to the room opened.
A captivating scent wafted in, as three alluring and graceful women, lightly veiled, entered gracefully carrying wine.
