When we returned to our residence, Wanwan was staring at the pieces of paper in her hands. This kind of scene was not easy to encounter. Miss Wanwan, who has always been a quirky, was also in a dilemma. When she saw us, she hid the pieces of paper in her sleeves and looked as if nothing had happened.

"Da Ming Zun Sect?" After listening to my narration, Wanwan said in surprise, "What did he ask you for? Don't he know that you are from our Yingui Sect?"

"Hmm?" I wondered.

"We have a cooperative relationship with the Daming Zun Sect. Shangguan Long, who used to be in charge of the Luoyang Gang, was a member of the Daming Zun Sect. He just worked under our banner in the Central Plains, and we just used each other." Wanwan explained.

"Shangguan Long?" I said in surprise, "I thought he was an elder of the Yingui Sect."

"He is also the extra-staff elder of the Yingui Sect, just like you, but he just has a name and does not contact the things within the Sect. His purpose in Luoyang is to make good friends with all forces and attempt to spread the Ming Jue Sect into the Central Plains." Wanwan introduced, "It's just that after the Luoyang Gang was destroyed, there were very few contacts."

"Oh, that Wang Shichong is an atom of the previous generation of the Ming Dynasty Sect. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty Sect has the ambition to encroach on the Central Plains?" I asked.

"These things are complicated, and they naturally have the ambition to preach in the Central Plains. However, the power of the Central Plains sect has been established. It is difficult for these extraterritorial sects to gain a foothold, let alone develop and grow. Even the Holy Sect was suppressed, let alone a Uighur Sect." Wanwan said disdainfully, "I also heard from Master Zhu. The cooperation with Master Zhu was negotiated with Master Zhu. It is said that this Uighur Sect originated from the Persian capital Taixi, after the Concubine of the Persian capital, and there is a book called "Sobu**", which advocates the "Two Sects and Three Interactions Theory". The two Sects are light and darkness, and the Three Interactions are the past, present and future. The Ming God has the Shanmu, atoms, Five Mingzi and Five Types of Demons, etc., and the organization is mysterious and powerful. Master Zhu has a relationship with his Shanmu Shafang. According to Master Zhu, Mr. Zhu said that Shanmu's martial arts are not inferior to her, and he is good at using poison, and he is an extremely difficult person to deal with."

"Then let's wait until Yin comes back!" I happened to have an excuse not to go to the appointment, and Liexia gave me a little danger.

"Forget it, since you agree, go and have a look. I also want to know what the Ming Zun Sect is going to do." Wanwan chuckled, "This sect has strong strength on the grassland. As long as the conditions are right, we can cooperate. The forces here are mixed, which is a good place for the Hezong and Lianheng."

"What preparation do we need to do?" I asked.

"In view of Master Zhu, they will not do anything randomly, it is just a temptation. This Lie Xia is very interesting. I think the Daming Zun Sect is not a solid piece." Wanwan smiled sly, "Let's go and see if it is profitable. The key is their source of information. In Tongwan City, there are people paying attention to our every move."

"Can it be Zhao Deyan's person?" I doubted.

"It doesn't look like it. This is not Jie Li's territory. Zhao Deyan dares not be so blatant. He gives me the feeling that he is from the Central Plains, and he is from the Holy Sect." Wanwan emphasized.

I guess there was no result, so we put it down for the time being. This is the home of a herdsman. There is no bed in the room, but a thick blanket is spread on the ground. Wanwan was a little weird tonight, just lying quietly to rest, and there was no torture to me in the past, which made me a little uneasy.

At midnight, I woke up and saw Wanwan lying on the ground, the moonlight shining in from the window like water, and falling on Wanwan's beautiful face. She stared at the piece of paper blankly, with tears flashing at the corners of her eyes. At this time, Wanwan actually gave me a weak and pitiful feeling, like a wounded white rabbit licking the wound under the moonlight.

I walked over and sat down side by side, covering our blankets. The night on the grassland was particularly cold, and Wanwan didn't move and let me mercy.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly.

"It's just getting news from a relative." Wanwan whispered.

I took advantage of the moonlight to look at the words on the paper. Traditional Chinese characters were difficult to justify, and I guessed it roughly understood the meaning of this news.

"In the winter of the 20th year of Kaihuang, three palace maids died suddenly in the Prince's Courtyard of Yangzhou City. Among them, the palace maid surnamed Lin was dying, and the body was abandoned and disappeared. The baby born was suspected to have been killed."

This news brought me to the cold winter night eighteen years ago. In Yang Guang's courtyard, Axue came back from outside with a wrinkled baby. We tried our best to make the baby live. When the baby coincided with the woman in front of me, I came to my senses.

It seems that Wanwan has never given up looking for news about her mother, and we have not paid attention to the funeral of a dead palace maid. Everything seems so urgent and panicked.

"All these are gone, everything will be fine!" I comforted Wanwan's shoulders.

"I'm just sad about her experience." Wanwan leaned against my shoulder and said softly, "When I was a child, Master Zhu loved me the most. At that time, I thought how good it would be if Master Zhu was my mother, so I always performed the best, compared those senior sisters and let me occupy Master Zhu alone, but Master Zhu was never my mother. She had her own daughter. I often saw Master Zhu talking about the name of Senior Sister Meixian when I saw Master Zhu alone. At that time, I knew that I could only be Master Zhu's disciple, not my daughter."

"The queen of Yin is very nice to you. Even if you treat her as your mother, she won't object to it."

"I used to never understand why Master Zhu is so nice to me, but now I finally understand that it is because you gave me to her. When she looked at me, she would think of you and Sister Meixian. I am just a substitute for Sister Meixian!" Wanwan said sadly.

"She treats you well because you are smart and cute. She teaches you her lifelong martial arts. You are her most proud disciple." I flattered.

I was a little worried that Wanwan would be difficult to open once a knot formed. If she had turned from love to hate to Zhu Yuyan, the consequences would be unimaginable. The so-called good, evil, and hatred were all in one thought. I was very afraid that Wanwan would go to the extreme.

"Are you worried about Miss Li?" Wanwan glanced at me sideways, "I heard the wind that Dongming Gong was mainly in charge of the Yingui Sect, so Master Zhu naturally believed in her granddaughter. You are afraid that I will be detrimental to her."

"This, I actually don't agree with Wan Jing taking over the Yin Gui Sect..." I defended, "I don't want her to get involved in the world. I hope she can live an ordinary life in an ordinary family. What's the point of this kind of life of fighting and killing? I don't know when I will die on the streets."

"Then you gave me to Master Zhu at the beginning, and if you don't give it to the countryside women, you can let me live some ordinary life." Wanwan asked resolutely.

"That's because..." I said seriously, "because there is only one girl named Wanwan in this world. She is unique and irreplaceable. If you give you to a rural village woman, the world will become vague. If the Wanwan in front of me no longer exists, then what's the meaning of this life?"
