If the owner of that mysterious voice really was Sixteen's mother...
Then should I ask Sixteen about her mother? Song Shuhang wondered.
But just as that thought surfaced, something else suddenly occurred to him-he hadn't seen Su Clan's Sixteen's parents at this Su Clan Annual Meeting!
Senior A-Qi hadn't introduced them to him, and Sixteen hadn't mentioned anything about her parents either.
Moreover, when something had gone wrong during Su Clan's Sixteen's Fourth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation, her parents hadn't appeared at all. Su Clan's Seven had been the one worrying about her from beginning to end.
Putting these clues together, and considering the dangers and brutality of a cultivator's life...
Could something have happened to Sixteen's parents? An unpleasant suspicion surfaced in Song Shuhang's mind.
If that really was the case, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask Sixteen directly about her mother.
Once we're out, I'll quietly check with Senior Su Clan's Seven about Sixteen's parents first, Song Shuhang thought.
After a moment's consideration, he tried calling out to the fairy with the mysterious voice in his mind again-if she was still there, they could chat some more. Perhaps he could coax her identity out of her?
This time, however, the owner of the mysterious voice had already left and gave no further reply.
Another kind senior who did good deeds without leaving her name.
Actually, Song Shuhang rather liked seniors like that, because sometimes he also liked doing good deeds anonymously.
When Song Shuhang emerged from his thoughts, he discovered that, at some point, all the seniors in the group had left the Wealth-Scattering Throne's Great Vortex. Only he, Sixteen, and Soft Feather remained.
Su Clan's Sixteen opened her eyes and slowly exhaled. It seemed she had successfully merged with these three new split bodies.
