Bab 105: With His Mother
Hearing his call, Zhao Jing immediately stood up and turned to her son, and her soul visibly trembled as tears flowed down from her eyes, especially since she had not seen him for eighteen years. Even though the current Tang Xiao has already grown up, she already knew everything from Mu Yan's memories because their souls are connected to each other. "Xiao'er."
Tang Xiao immediately moved in front of her mother, but Zhao Jing actually took a step back and shook her head as he was about to hug her, and he could see the regret and guilt in her eyes. However, he stretched out his arms and hugged Zhao Jing so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go, and he cried loudly like a little boy.
Tang Xiao's crying made his mother look so sad, so Zhao Jing hugged her son back while crying together, which made the Mu mother and daughter feel sad and happy about their reunion.
Mu Yan also hugged her mother while crying as Zhao Jing's feelings affected hers. Mu Qingge was naturally aware of it, but she couldn't do anything and hugged her daughter while comforting her with gentle caresses.
"Mom, big sis and I have missed you so much over the years." As he sobbed, Tang Xiao hugged Zhao Jing even more tightly. "I'm glad that I can still see you again."
"Please forgive me, Xiao'er." Zhao Jing also tightened her arms around his son. "I was so foolish and selfish to leave you and Yin'er, and you two had to suffer for years because of it."
"No, you don't need to blame yourself, Mom." Tang Xiao then released Zhao Jing from his embrace before cupping her face, and he shook his head while wiping her tears. "Even though we were desperate because of your death, we completely understood your feelings, so we never blamed you for your decision back then. Instead, we always prayed that you could be reunited with our father again, but here you are now, and we could reunite today."
Despite Tang Xiao's words, Zhao Jing still harbored guilt towards him and Tang Yin. However, she was also happy for their reunion, and she toched his face. "If I hadn't forbidden your grandfather from teaching you and Yin'er to become cultivators, the two of you would not have experienced such suffering, and you would be able to protect yourselves from those people."
"All right, you don't need to bring up that matter again, okay?" Tang Xiao said this as he looked at Zhao Jing with a smile. "Since you were able to learn everything from Yan'er's memories, you must already know that our lives have become much better now, and we also have many things that we can use to take revenge on those people, so you don't need to regret the past anymore."
Zhao Qing nodded with a smile and said to him. "Even though I feel strange after learning about your relationship with Yin'er, I clearly remember that you have always loved each other. Moreover, Xiao Ai can help you both get through everything, so I won't say anything about it. As for Xing'er, she is also a good girl, and her parents are our old friends, so I am grateful that she has become your second wife now, and I will always pray that the three of you will be happy forever."
"Thank you, Mom." Tang Xiao felt relieved after hearing her mother's words, as he was previously afraid that his mother would be disappointed about his relationship, but Zhao Jing then looked at the Mu mother and daughter. "You must know Qingge, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Jing directly told him. "Back then, we often went to visit Mu House, especially during Uncle Lin's birthday, so we often met Qingge. Moreover, she was your father's childhood friend, so our relationship was very good. However, I didn't expect that she would be willing to be your future wife, and she did it for Yan'er, who was indirectly affected by my feelings."
Mu Qingge felt embarrassed listening to Zhao Jing's words, but she pulled her daughter with her and walked over to them. "Long time no see, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in my daughter's soul space. Anyway, do you know how you got into this place?"
"Long time no see." Zhao Jing sighed softly as she spoke. "I don't know how I got here myself, as my consciousness was completely blank after I died, and I entered deep slumber for quite a long time. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in this place, and I met Yan'er's soul, which was still very small at the time, especially since she was just born. For several years, I kept wondering about this place, but I found the answer after she started cultivating, and I started learning many things about cultivators as she grew up."
They nodded in understanding after hearing that, but Tang Xiao asked Zhao Jing again. "So you don't remember anything that happened after you died and before you woke up, Mom?"
"I don't remember anything." Zhao Jing then turned to face Mu Yan, who was staring at her with a curious expression, and rubbed her head. "I want to apologize to you, Yan'er. Your cultivation became slow because my soul kept absorbing the qi you absorbed from the air, or else you would have been stronger than now."
"You don't need to apologize to me, Auntie." Mu Yan replied while shaking her head. "Even though I feel strange about your existence in my soul space, I'm happy to be able to help you, and I'm also happy because I can meet Big Brother Xiao and Big Sister Yin. Moreover, Xiao Ai has already said that she can separate our souls, and she can also transfer your soul to someone else's body, so you can accompany them again in the future. Unfortunately, you still have to wait for me to become stronger first, and it will probably take a very long time, but I will cultivate more diligently to make that happen as soon as possible."
Zhao Jing certainly already knew about it from Mu Yan's memories, but she didn't want to comment on it, especially since her guilt was still weighing heavily on her heart.
Suddenly, their souls flashed and slowly disappeared, and Mu Qingge said to Zhao Jing. "Our time is up, so we have to leave this place, but you two can still meet again in the future."
Hearing that, Zhao Jing then hugged Tang Xiao again. "Take good care of yourself and Yin'er, and both of you must act very cautiously in fighting them."
"I know." Tang Xiao replied while hugging his mother back, and he felt reluctant to let go of her, but he had no other choice. "Mom, I have to go now, but I will visit you again, and I will tell Big Sis Yin about you so she can come in here to see you."
"All right." Soon, the three of them disappeared from her sight, and Zhao Jing sighed softly while muttering. "Husband, our children are all grown up, and they are cultivators now. Besides, they have managed to kill some of those people, and they will kill others too, so I hope you can have peace in the afterlife. Honestly, I want to accompany you there, but someone or something deliberately placed my soul in this place, so I hope you can forgive me."

After they returned to their bodies, Mu Yan immediately jumped out of the capsule and flew away in a hurry, as she wanted to help Tang Xiao reunite with his mother, and she could only do that if she had become stronger.
Mu Qingge sighed softly because she was familiar with her daughter's character, and she then turned to Tang Xiao. "Did something happen between you two before you came here? Otherwise, you two wouldn't feel awkward with me."
"H ha." Tang Xiao laughed awkwardly after hearing her question, but he decided to tell her about the true incident between him and Mu Yan in the hot spring. "Qingge, I-"
"You don't need to explain anything to me." Mu Qingge interrupted Tang Xiao as she shook her head. "I had thought about this matter after you told me that Zhao Jing's soul was in Yan'er's body, and I had expected that she would influence her character, but I didn't expect that her influence had reached such a degree. Although it happened because of your mother's influence, I'm sure it also came from her own feelings, so I don't mind if she fell for you."
Tang Xiao himself also liked Mu Yan, but he had never thought about having such a relationship with her, and his feelings for her were like those of a big brother to a little sister, so he felt at a loss to reply to Mu Qingge's words.
Seeing him like that, Mu Qingge asked Tang Xiao. "Why do you have to think about that so complicatedly? Your relationship with Yin'er is much weirder, remember? Yan'er will definitely be sad if you reject her, so I hope you can think about her feelings. However, I won't ask you to accept her right away, and you can decide after you think about it well."
Tang Xiao released a soft sigh before nodding to Mu Qingge. "For now, I don't have such feelings for Yan'er, but your words are true, so I will think about everything first."
"Thank you."
"No need." Tang Xiao immediately moved to Mu Qingge's side and took her hand. "I already like Yan'er personally, and I don't want to see her sad because of me, so you don't need to thank me."
Suddenly, Xiao Ai informed Tang Xiao. "Master, I have foiled Hao Lin's plan to destroy Tianmei online shop, and I have also counterattacked her, so she is now being hunted by the police. As for Bai Huang and Pei Yan, they are on their way to the company, but Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng keep following them, so you shouldn't go there."
"Hmm?" Tang Xiao frowned upon hearing that, and he really couldn't wait to get rid of those two men, but he also didn't want to deal with Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng for now.
"I'll go there now, and I'll stop them." Tang Xiao immediately looked at Mu Qingge. "Regardless of my decision to accept you, you two are the children of my old friends, and our families have long been on good terms, so I will help you to deal with those two men."
"All right."
After Mu Qingge disappeared from their sight, Xiao Ai told Tang Xiao again. "Master, those two men previously went to Zhao Teng for help, but he rejected them. Even so, he still ordered Zhao Zheng to investigate all the previous events, but he had no intention of carrying out his orders."
"Oh?" Tang Xiao turned to Xiao Ai in surprise. "Why did Zhao Zheng defy that old bastard's orders?"
"Hehe." Xiao Ai chuckled at his question. "After I found out that the two men had gone to see Zhao Teng, I immediately investigated Zhao Zheng and Wang Yuelin. From there, I found out that Wang Xiaogang, through his daughter, warned him not to interfere in those matters, and he would rather follow his father-in-law's words than your grandfather."
Tang Xiao nodded in understanding after hearing that. "What else do you know about them?"
"Wang Xiaogang suspects that the mastermind behind all those incidents is a member of your family, but he doesn't dare to confirm anything." Tang Xiao was once again surprised by Xiao Ai's answer. "However, I also discovered that Wang Dong was unwilling to listen to his father, and he insisted on investigating the matter together with several other families. That's why I also investigated them, and I have saved all the information about them in my database, so you can read everything yourself."
"You really work so concisely and quickly, but I like your actions." Tang Xiao then walked away as he spoke again. "I will go back to my room to read information about them."
Xiao Ai just smiled while watching him leave. "Master, I'm used to working with the future you, and he always works quickly and effectively. The current you still can't compare to him, but I'm sure that you will become no different from him in the future."
