The person in the portrait, Chu Feng recognised.
Back in the Reincarnation Upper Realm, Chu Feng needed large amounts of spiritual spring water to enhance his spirit formation technique.
So he headed to the Elephant Valley in the Reincarnation Upper Realm.
There, Chu Feng encountered a mysterious old lady.
That old lady was dressed neatly, with an extraordinary temperament, but her face was covered in scars.
Her appearance had been ruined.
At that time, the old lady wanted to wash her face with poisonous water.
Chu Feng intervened to stop her. Through brief contact, Chu Feng realised that the old lady’s mind seemed deranged. At least, she was not normal.
But her cultivation was unfathomably deep.
And now, the person on the scroll that Xian Miaomiao had taken out was precisely the old lady Chu Feng had seen back then.
“It’s really her?”
“What is her relationship with my grandfather?”
“Could she be my grandmother?”
At that moment, Chu Feng’s emotions nearly spiralled out of control.
Chu Feng still remembered that when he saw the old grandmother, he felt an inexplicable closeness.
Now it seemed explainable. It was the intimacy from blood ties.
But if that person truly was his grandmother, had Chu Feng not brushed past her without recognising her?
Moreover, why had the old grandmother become mentally unstable? Who had disfigured her face? What exactly had she gone through?
Originally, Chu Feng had only been curious back then. But now, the old grandmother’s miserable state felt like sharp blades stabbing into his heart one after another.
For unrelated people experiencing tragedy, one might feel sympathy at most.
But for a close relative enduring such calamity, it was heart-wrenching pain.
“Chu Feng, what is wrong?”
“Could it be that you recognise this senior?”
Xian Miaomiao was already clever and quick-witted. Coupled with Chu Feng’s near-loss of control.
This made Xian Miaomiao realise that Chu Feng very likely knew the person in the portrait.
“Miaomiao, given our relationship, there is nothing I cannot tell you.”
Chu Feng said this through secret voice transmission.
“You really know her?”
Xian Miaomiao also asked through secret voice transmission.
“Chu Hanxian is my grandfather.”
“I have seen this old grandmother before. If I am not mistaken, she is very likely my grandmother.”
Chu Feng said.
“She is actually your grandmother?”
Upon hearing this, Xian Miaomiao’s little face no longer remained calm.
Although she had not seen that senior in person, she had heard how terrifying her power was.
…
Afterwards, Chu Feng recounted the general events to Xian Miaomiao.
And after hearing Chu Feng’s account, although Xian Miaomiao was extremely surprised, she harboured not a shred of doubt.
She would unconditionally believe Chu Feng.
“Chu Feng, my clan is now fully searching for this senior.”
“How about this? Give me an address where you currently reside often. If we find that senior, I will notify you immediately.”
“Do not worry. If this senior really is your grandmother, then at least it is good news. It means she is still alive.”
“Although she may have suffered some trauma now and is not entirely rational, there is no illness in the world that cannot be cured.”
“As long as we heal her, we might be able to find your grandfather’s whereabouts.”
Xian Miaomiao comforted Chu Feng.
By now, Chu Feng’s emotions had somewhat eased.
Chu Feng was not an impulsive person, but matters concerning his family often made him lose reason.
In truth, Chu Feng understood the principles Xian Miaomiao mentioned.
Although it was saddening, it was ultimately good news.
If that old grandmother truly was Chu Feng’s grandmother, at least she was still alive.
Afterwards, Chu Feng began chatting with Xian Miaomiao.
The two had not seen each other for many years. Chu Feng was not only curious about Xian Miaomiao’s experiences, but Xian Miaomiao was even more curious about Chu Feng’s.
However, Chu Feng had gone through too much over these years. To recount in detail would take ten days and nights without end, so he could only give a brief summary.
Because Chu Feng also wanted to know about the whereabouts of the one who was very likely his grandmother, he needed to stay in contact with Xian Miaomiao.
After all, searching with the power of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan would certainly be much easier than Chu Feng searching alone.
But Chu Feng currently had no fixed abode and could not leave Xian Miaomiao a location to find him.
In the end, they decided that after handling some matters, he would go to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan to find Xian Miaomiao.
Upon hearing that Chu Feng would come to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan to find her, Xian Miaomiao was thrilled and gave Chu Feng a token for entering the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
Originally, Chu Feng wanted to chat more with Xian Miaomiao.
But the two Grand Elders outside began urging them. They seemed to have urgent matters and needed to take Xian Miaomiao back.
Although Xian Miaomiao held a noble status, she apparently could not defy the will of those two Grand Elders.
Thus, Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao, these two friends who had finally reunited after many years apart, bid farewell again after a brief meeting.
Rumble—
The majestic war chariot, pulled by countless massive heavenly horses, galloped swiftly through the air.
Inside a palace hall, Xian Miaomiao and the two Grand Elders were all present.
“Miaomiao, I never imagined you had such a friend.”
“It seems your relationship is quite extraordinary. He actually helped you regain your memories.”
“In any case, no matter how it happened, regaining your memories is truly wonderful.”
The two Grand Elders looked at Xian Miaomiao with faces full of joy.
But Xian Miaomiao’s face showed not a trace of a smile.
“Do not think I am unaware that it was you who deliberately caused my amnesia.”
Xian Miaomiao said coldly.
“Miaomiao, what are you saying? How could we possibly do such a thing?”
The two Grand Elders replied with aggrieved expressions.
“It was not you, but my mother.”
“I hope you can convey to my mother that when I return this time, do not even think of erasing my memories again.”
“If she does this again, I will sever our mother-daughter relationship.”
“Also, absolutely do not harm my friend.”
“If anyone dares to harm him, I will never let them off lightly.”
When Xian Miaomiao said this, her beautiful eyes were filled with ferocity.
