Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197: Encounter Danger?

But watching her furrowing her brows every day, he couldn’t help wanting to reach out and smooth them for her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang gritted her teeth.

"I do have something on my mind, it’s just..."

As she raised her hand, her index finger lightly touched the tip of her nose, hesitantly looking at Ya Molian.

"Shall we talk about it when we get back?"

"Alright."

Seeing her say this, Ya Molian also nodded.

...

Inside a bamboo cottage in the forest.

The two of them sat down in the courtyard, Lin Caisang looking up at Ya Molian.

"That is, Brother Molian, I..."

Opening her mouth, Lin Caisang really didn’t know where to start, feeling that no matter where she began, it wasn’t quite right.

"Heh."

Ya Molian chuckled, raising his hand and lightly tapping the tip of her nose with his index finger.

"If you don’t wish to speak, then don’t."

He didn’t want to force her to say what she didn’t want to, and besides, he had never seen the little girl so tangled up; even his own heart felt troubled for her.

"It’s not that."

Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang knew he had misunderstood her.

"It’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s that I don’t know how to. That is... Brother Molian, do you still have any memory of my mother?"

She asked.

"Your mother?"

Hearing her question, Ya Molian was also taken aback.

He hadn’t expected that Sang’er would bring up the matter of her birth mother; it’s no wonder the little girl seemed hesitant.

Back when Lin Baizhong’s wife left, he had only been in Ya Village for a couple of years. Sang’er probably thought he wouldn’t remember her mother, which is why she hadn’t spoken to him about it.

"Brother Molian, you know, after my mother left, my father and Grandpa and Grandma never mentioned her in front of my brother and me. I truly didn’t know whom else to ask."

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Ya Molian spoke to her, but what he found strange was why, after all these years, Sang’er, who had never cared about the mother she had no memories of, would suddenly bring her up now?

"It’s like this, recently I met someone. I’d never told her my name before, yet she could call me ’Sangsang’ right off the bat, so I was very puzzled."

Lin Caisang explained as she noticed his confusion.

"Moreover, this person actually risked her life to block a fatal attack for me—someone she’d known for only a short while, which made me even more puzzled."

"You encountered danger?"

Hearing her words, Ya Molian’s eyes sharpened.

When did this happen, since she had never mentioned it to him after his return?

"When did this happen, and where were you endangered?" he immediately inquired.

"Uh."

Lin Caisang was choked up by his urgent questions, and suddenly, she felt overwhelmed.

Preoccupied with thoughts of the Elder Princess, she had indeed forgotten that her previous encounter with the Elder Princess was a dangerous one indeed.

"This... it happened in Jianan City, at the Princess’ Mansion. I hadn’t told you, but after receiving news from Jianan City about people from Illusion Continent appearing outside the Princess’ Mansion, I took on Wan County’s mission to go and have a look there.

Little did I know, as soon as I arrived at the Princess’ Mansion, those people were already waiting for me there. It turned out their target was both the Elder Princess and me.

If I hadn’t had the Sky-descending Python with me, it would have been very difficult to escape. Even if I had managed to escape, I would have had to stay in the Golden Pearl Space for a long time. Those people, they really stopped at nothing."
