541. Chapter 541: Taking Her as an Adopted Daughter

Shi Lin nodded, unable to say such words.

Even though they looked fine.

Yao Lingyu was still scared.

Xiao Shitou saw her worry and said, "Among them, one person's martial skill looks decent; if they really intend to do something to us, we won't be able to escape."

Qiao Sheng felt even more uneasy.

She said softly, "Don't worry, we're not bad people; we truly are your parents."

Qiao Sheng and Shi Lin took them back to the town.

As soon as they arrived in town.

Qiao Sheng bought them new clothes and shoes, found an inn, and got water for them to wash up.

What about Shi Lin?

He summoned the Sea‑East Blue and sent a message to An Yi and the others.

An Yi and the others were still looking for Xiao Shitou; now that they had found him, they naturally needed to inform them.

After Xiao Shitou and the others finished washing up.

Qiao Sheng led them to the table, and Shi Lin sat with them to eat.

The table was full of delicious food.

Many of the dishes were ones Yao Lingyu had never seen.

She couldn't help feeling a bit reserved.

Xiao Shitou was better off; he tasted several dishes to make sure they were fine and served her a portion of each.

That's how he was.

Qiao Sheng didn't even bother serving them any more.

Yao Lingyu felt warm inside; after eating hot rice and dishes and sipping hot soup, her unease gradually eased.

Qiao Sheng hadn't been eating properly these days, but she ate a lot in one sitting.

Shi Lin watched with pleasure and said, "You finally ate more. You've been eating so little these past days, and you keep going with me everywhere looking for Xiao Shitou; I was afraid you couldn't handle it."

"My body isn't as weak as you think."

Qiao Sheng replied.

Xiao Shitou and the others listened to the conversation in silence.

Shi Jin returned, and upon seeing Xiao Shitou he cried and hugged him, "It's good you're okay; I was really afraid you'd die."

Xiao Shitou froze in place, seeing Shi Jin's tears made him truly sad; he lifted his hand and patted his back.

"Don't cry, I'm fine now."

Shi Ren noticed Xiao Shitou's oddity and asked, "Third Aunt, what's happened to Xiao Shitou?"

Qiao Sheng sighed, "He's lost his memory."

Shi Jin let out a wail and began crying again.

Bu Yun said from beside them, "Don't cry; isn't Xiao Shitou okay now? Sister Qiao Sheng, who is the little girl standing behind Xiao Shitou?"

Shi Ren and the others turned to look upon hearing that.

Although their gazes weren't as tense as those of the men before, they still made Yao Lingyu a little frightened.

"Don't stare at her like that."

Qiao Sheng invited them to sit and briefly explained what had happened earlier.

Shi Jin listened and understood.

He wiped away his tears and said, "Xiao Shitou ended up like this because of me; I'll take care of you from now on. You can come to me for anything."

He thought that Yao Lingyu still didn't know what her own name was.

Shi Jin introduced himself, and also introduced Shi Ren and the others.

In a short while.

Yao Lingyu learned each of their names and how they were related to Xiao Shitou.

"We can't blame Xiao Shitou entirely; I was at fault too. If I hadn't said those words, they wouldn't have targeted us, suspecting us…"

Who's right or wrong, what does it matter?

It's too late to say anything now.

Qiao Sheng rubbed her head and said, "Don't overthink it. From now on, just stay with us, treat our family as your own, and you'll be my adopted daughter."

As she spoke, she had Yao Lingyu serve her tea in respect.

She formally accepted her.

Shi Yun's condition was still not very good, and Qiao Sheng's group didn't tell him about this when they left.

When they went out and returned, they brought Xiao Shitou and the others back, and also a little girl. He couldn't help but wonder, "Aunt Qiao, what's going on with you? Who is this little girl?"
