Chapter 674

How could Bai Lu have taken it from Qing Ni's waist?

It seems her desk had been rummaged through by Qing Ni.

Thinking that her desk wasn't locked, Lord Yu Kong rubbed her brow: "I understand."

"Qing Ni... I'm sorry, I cannot support your wish, because I have already made a vow to someone else."

"I don't expect your forgiveness, but I only hope you can listen to my defense."

Since Qing Ni already knew, she had no way to hide it anymore.

Now that what she had been hiding was known to Qing Ni, she only hoped this child wouldn't resent her.

Before that, she would state her thoughts.

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, Qing Ni hurriedly said: "Mom, what are you saying? We are mother and daughter, how can there be talk of forgiveness and defense? No matter what you say, I am willing to listen."

Hearing Qing Ni's words, Lord Yu Kong, who had a calm expression, suddenly had a smile on her face.

It seemed to be because of the "Mom" Qing Ni called her, the words between mother and daughter.

Lord Yu Kong turned around, carrying her hands behind her back, gazing at the skiffs in the sky above, and said softly: "Qing Ni, I was once like you, harboring a longing for the sky. I know what that feels like."

"Sailing in the universe, all around is vast emptiness, and in the distance are wonders you can hardly imagine."

"Between the sea of stars, it's like drifting in a small boat; some people call it loneliness."

"But we prefer to call it freedom."

"Cai Yi was also such a person. We grew up together, driving skiffs everywhere to stir up trouble, until we were caught and brought before General Jing Yuan."

"Lady Lord Yu Kong is much younger than General Jing Yuan."

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, Su Shang subconsciously widened her eyes and covered her mouth.

No way, she had thought Lady Lord Yu Kong was very old.

As it turns out, Lady Lord Yu Kong said she was caught and brought before General Jing Yuan when she was a child...

Doesn't that mean General Jing Yuan watched Lord Yu Kong grow up?!

Thinking of this, Su Shang gasped.

Not only was Su Shang surprised, but Bai Lu also widened her eyes and looked at Lord Yu Kong.

Lin Mo, however, was not surprised at all.

Lord Yu Kong was interrupted by Su Shang's sudden words, paused, and then shook her head with a laugh: "Yes."

There was nothing to hide about this.

As long as they were older Xianzhou natives, they all knew about this.

The next second, Lord Yu Kong continued slowly: "After that, Cai Yi and I joined the Sky-Faring Commission and became the most elite fighter-ship pilots of the Sky-Faring Commission."

"That life couldn't be called easy, nor could it be called cruel."

"Because you never know when the friends beside you will resist, or when they will return."

"Of course, that includes whether you yourself will return."

"For me, those are the most beautiful memories of my life."

"Spilling hot blood, battling in the vast sky, cleansing evil, and upholding justice—a Foxian's life is so short, shouldn't it burn for such a glorious cause?"

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, Lin Mo nodded gently.

On the Xianzhou, Foxians indeed have short lives.

When most of the people living around you can live for seven or eight hundred, or even a thousand years, only being able to live for three hundred does seem very short.

"If I remember correctly."

Lin Mo looked at Lord Yu Kong and smiled lightly: "You Foxian people really like adventure and external communication."

"Yes."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Lord Yu Kong nodded gently: "I didn't expect Guest Lin Mo to be so understanding of our Foxian people."

Ordinary Xianzhou people wouldn't know that their Foxian people like adventure and external communication.

Yet this Guest Lin Mo knew.

"The brain is a strange organ."

Lord Yu Kong said softly: "Having lived for over two hundred years, I have long forgotten many idle chats."

"But no matter how much I forget, I will never forget that boring idle chat. I clearly remember the words I said to Cai Yi, every single word."

"Because that was the last idle chat I had with Cai Yi."

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words and seeing Lord Yu Kong lost in memories, Bai Lu and Su Shang fell silent.

This was the first time they had seen Lord Yu Kong look so sad. ===== CHAPTER 675 =====
