The Inner Qi refined by Taiping Duke's method could encompass all distinct forms of power.
Thus, the originally expansive and tranquil Inner Qi then gained strands and wisps of vitality. Murong Qiushui felt a familiar sensation flowing into her meridians. She paused slightly, and the spread of vitality within her meridians felt both familiar and strange.
Could it be...
She looked at Li Guanyi, the Jiangnan breeze sweeping past the youth's temples. A beauty mark next to his eye diffused any ominous aura. Murong Qiushui felt dazed, as if she saw a gentle woman with a beauty mark by her eye, sitting there reading a book, holding her wrist, tending to a scrape caused by mischief.
In a trance, the image vanished.
She had now reached the age she was back then, and her son was just like her younger self.
Murong Qiushui stared blankly, softly saying, "Green Bird..."
"You..."
Li Guanyi looked at her and replied, "I remember now."
"My mother's story."
