"It was Grandma who brought us out."
Xian Xiaoying clearly no longer harbored the same deep hostility toward her mother, Jun Simian, as she once had, and she took the initiative to explain.
Grandma?
Jun Simian's expression shifted slightly.
She pulled Xian Xiaoying's head back into her embrace, yet cast Qin Shaofeng a grateful look.
So she really had deliberately sent us to the Ruthless Dynasty!
Qin Shaofeng's heart sank.
He felt that he was finding Aunt Jun increasingly difficult to understand.
First, there was the strangeness of her cultivation.
With his cultivation and knowledge, he had actually been unable to see through Jun Simian's concealment. If not for the peculiar sensing ability he possessed as a Half Pattern King toward Jun Simian, who had cultivated divine patterns, he would never have known her true condition.
Presumably, no one else—not even existences with the cultivation of Eternal Luohu or Eternal Burial Heaven—would be able to discern her difference.
And despite knowing full well about the problems within the Ruthless Dynasty, she had still sent her own biological daughter into it.
That alone was already far too not right.
If she truly had no protective measures in place, then it could only mean that she would stop at nothing to achieve her goal.
Qin Shaofeng did not want to believe such a possibility existed.
Jun Simian had clearly noticed the complexity in his expression.
"Qin Shaofeng, Aunt Jun had her own difficulties in doing that. Besides, I trust you even more. You wouldn't let Xiaoying come to harm. Look, Aunt Jun wasn't wrong, was she?" Jun Simian's voice transmission entered his ears.
Qin Shaofeng parted his lips slightly.
He knew that he could not hide his identity from Jun Simian.
Yet he simply could not imagine how she could trust him
