Chapter 625 - He Was Very Proud (1/2)
Bai Mu stared at the transmission stone intently. Finally, an image appeared. It wasn't the man he had expected. Instead, it was the face of a beautiful woman who frowned.
”Qiu Ling, where are you? Have you found out where that fallen god is? Or do you at least know how Jing He is?”
Qiu Ling shook his head and looked at her pitifully. ”No, I have no idea, mother-in-law. I'm also missing him very much. But don't worry!” He straightened up and broke into a brilliant smile. ”I'm already working on it! You know that bastard Xin Lan?”
Bai Fen's lips twitched. ”You mean Senior Xin Lan.”
”That guy. Anyway, he's already finding out where that fallen god is. I just … need to do him a little favor in return.”
”What kind of favor?”
Qiu Ling pursed his lips. ”It's nothing much. Actually, it's really simple. I just … could use a little help. Can you get uncle-in-law for me? I need him here in the mortal realm for a while.”
Bai Fen wanted to ask what the matter was but Qiu Ling interrupted her before she could get the first word out.
”Don't worry! It's not dangerous at all. I swear he'll come back the same way he was before. Well, it could be that he'll be really happy. You know this is also a great opportunity for him. Did you know that he actually fell in love when he was on one of his trials? He actually had a child with that woman. And now I've found his son for him. He just needs to come down and meet him.”
Bai Fen sighed. This child … He would never learn, would he? ”Qiu Ling, that trial has ended thousands of years ago. That's not important anymore.”
At the other side of the table, Bai Mu frowned and clenched his hands into fists. How could this be unimportant? His mother had always hoped that his father would return one day. That was the reason why she had never tried to ascend even after he had grown up. She had still waited and hoped that her husband would descend and take her with him. She had never believed that he had died. Unfortunately, she had waited all those years for nothing. Now, she was even seen as something 'unimportant' that was from a time long past. Something that didn't need to be considered anymore.
Qiu Ling didn't understand either. ”Ah, what are you saying, mother-in-law? If this was me and Jing He, then I would definitely want to see our child even if it had been hundreds of thousands of years. Time has nothing to do with it.”
”I don't think you can compare that.”
”But —”
