"What exactly made you come for me?""I"ve already heard about what happened in Liu Yun Kingdom." Jiu Ming smiled. "I guess you"ve already known that you have a brother who"s still alive in this world."
Feng Ruqing"s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes were fixed on Jiu Ming"s eyes.
"How do you know?"
There was a smile on Jiu Ming"s lips. Along with the breeze, he caught a falling leaf with his slender fingers.
"Little girl, if I want to look for something, I"m definitely better in investigating than you guys, even than Fengyun Manor.
Feng Ruqing squinted and said, "You"ve already known that my mother is a member of Fengyun Manor since the beginning?"
Jiu Ming laughed. "I just knew it not long ago. However, Empress Nalan has offended an extreme power. Back then, the Divine Herbs Sect would lay their hand on you guys if they knew Fengyun Manor were related to Liu Yun Kingdom. Therefore, I"ve concealed it until now."
After he left, he accidentally found out that a bunch of elite disciples from the Divine Herbs Sect had discovered an ancient grave. He had gone forward to rob the grave before those disciples could get to those treasures. However, unexpectedly, when he was not around, too many things had happened…
Fortunately, Empress Nalan had returned.
"Oh." There seemed to be a sneer on the corners of Feng Ruqing"s lips. She took two steps closer to Jiu Ming and said, "It seems like you"ve known my mother since the very beginning."
Jiu Ming"s face was covered with a mask, so it was not easy to tell his expressions. However, his evil eyes were flooded with a sense of helplessness.
"I didn"t know that… Empress Nalan was in that Tang family either."
Feng Ruqing stopped her moving and said. "Tell me everything about my brother."
"Little girl, I can only tell you that I know only some things about him. There are still some things, I"ll still have to investigate." Jiu Ming looked serious now, his expressions were not as flippant as he was before. "The only thing I can tell you is, he has something to do with Tian Shen Manor!"
Tian Shen Manor…
Feng Ruqing"s slightly frowned.
Why would her brother be connected to Tian Shen Manor?
Tian Shen Manor and the Divine Herbs Sect were regarded as the supreme beings within the mainland. However, the Divine Herbs Sect"s power was holistic, whereas Tian Shen Manor had different smaller powers in it, just like a country with many states.
Feng Ruqing had heard all of this from Nalan Yan.
However, this Tian Shen Manor had never made any contact with the outside world. Without Tian Shen Manor"s authorization, even the equally strong Divine Herbs Sect could not get inside easily either.
She wanted to find out just anything about her brother in Tian Shen Manor. That seemed to be... very difficult.
"I know now." The corners of Feng Ruqing"s lips lifted into a smile. "No matter what, I will look for a way to find him."
The young girl seemed resolute. Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning, just like a cloud of bright stars.
Jiu Ming took two steps closer to Feng Ruqing. His smile was dazzling.
"Little girl, what do you think about my Paramount?"
Paramount. It was a repayment he had built for Empress Nalan. For so many years, he did not address himself as the owner but only a young master because he was waiting for someone.
Now, she has finally grown up and he could give Paramount to her as a gift without worry.
Feng Ruqing pursed her lips. "So so. You said that Paramount can get the greatest information while it couldn"t even locate where my mother was. I think your Paramount, it"s not worthy of its name…"
Jiu Ming stomped his feet before he stopped walking.
"Why doesn"t this little girl play by the rules?"
"However, there"s something I"m curious about." Feng Ruqing squinted as some dangerous thoughts flashed through her eyes. "Why do I always feel that you"re up to something from the beginning? We are neither kith nor kin, why are you helping me in every way you can without expecting any favor in return?"
