Jing Jia, who was originally lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were clear, indicating she had awakened long ago.
Bai Zhi’er hurried over and sat by the bedside.
Jing Jia sat up, her absolutely beautiful face showed appreciation.
"Our Zhi’er is truly remarkable, really memorized everything mother taught."
Actually, the last time Bai Zhi’er saw Jing Jia weeping, Jing Jia had already awakened.
However, Jing Jia wanted to seize this chance to thoroughly catch the person causing harm in the Heavenly Court.
Thus, she had to pretend to be asleep so that Bai Zhi’er could deal with Star Lord Yuan Qing under the seemingly desolate circumstances.
Because Jing Jia had calculated that Star Lord Yuan Qing would definitely act before Bai Zhi’er proposed inheriting the Heavenly Dao position.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi’er remembered all of her instructions.
"Mother, although Star Lord Yuan Qing is dead, you said the real mastermind was Lord Ju Chixing, but I just saw him surprisingly composed, not worried at all."
Jing Jia sneered slightly: "Of course he’s not afraid, he is indeed the real three-legged toad, the deceased Star Lord Yuan Qing was merely his loyal servant that he cultivated."
"Ju Chi is very cautious. If he hadn’t slipped up last time and I noticed, I would never have thought it was him."
"Star Lord Yuan Qing was just a facade he put forth."
Bai Zhi’er was surprised: "How did mother detect it?"
Jing Jia came to her senses, smiled, somewhat helpless.
"Early in my tenure as Heavenly Dao, for greater fairness, I severed my emotional threads and sealed them in the Haohan Pavilion."
"But after meeting your father, my emotional threads stirred, which left me quite perplexed, so I went to check the Haohan Pavilion."
"Who would have thought, my emotional threads had indeed been stolen, likely sent back to me when I was unnoticing, but it wasn’t difficult to trace who entered the Haohan Pavilion."
Bai Zhi’er realized something: "So mother traced it to Ju Chi?"
"What was his purpose for designing mother’s sentimental stirrings?"
Jing Jia smiled: "Perhaps thinking that with family comes entanglement."
She hugged her daughter: "Fact proved his tactic was indeed accurate, mother found fulfillment with you and your father."
"But matters in the Heavenly Court still need proper settling."
Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Rest assured mother, it’s getting late, I must head out, or staying too long might raise suspicions from others!"
Jing Jia nodded: "Alright, I’ll keep lying down then."
Having said that, she lay back down, not forgetting to remind Bai Zhi’er: "Sweetie, you need to eat more, mother hugging you feels less chubby than when young."
"Surely your father hasn’t raised you well, someday, mother’s going to give him a piece of my mind!"
Bai Zhi’er giggled, whispering: "Got it."
She then headed out the door.
As soon as she closed the door, she saw A ruo’s room door across the way half-open.
A little bear was peeking out.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi’er, it hastily ran over.
"Princess, have you seen A ruo? She hasn’t returned for so long, I’m really worried something happened to her!"
Bai Zhi’er giggled: "Lu Wang brother? How did you become so small!"
He was not even up to her knee!
Lu Wang raised a small bear paw, rubbing his rounded head.
He sighed: "To avoid the pursuit of the Heavenly Soldiers, it’s a long story... By the way, I haven’t been able to contact Lord Demon."
"Princess, is Lord Demon only concerned with being with you all day!"
Bai Zhi’er jumped straight up: "No way! Don’t talk nonsense!"
What is Lu Wang talking about! Her mother is still in the room!
Surely she heard it!
