Chapter 366: Reunion
Chapter 366: Reunion
After the Majestic King finished speaking, he stepped aside.
Meng Qianqian first saw a young man in a blue cloak.
The young man was tall and slender, with a clear brow and handsome features. His face was like jade, with a vermillion mole between his brows and a clear gaze that exuded wisdom and spirit.
Perhaps due to being new to the situation, he appeared slightly wary.
Meng Qianqian stared at him in a daze, as if seeing her second uncle, and her eyes instantly grew moist.
Behind the young man stood a girl in a pink cloak, peeking out shyly and anxiously, observing everything before her.
Meng Qianqian also got a clear look at her face.
Her oval face, fair skin, and rosy cheeks were accentuated by brows like distant mountain ridges. Her large, round eyes had dark, shiny pupils that seemed to reflect starlight like obsidian.
As Meng Qianqian observed her, the girl also looked at Meng Qianqian.
Their eyes met, and she immediately retracted her head.
The young man protectively shielded her with his hand.
Meng Qianqian's eyes grew even more moist.
Her second aunt had married into the Shangjia family many years ago and had always been so adorable and innocent. Her second uncle had protected her extremely well...
But whenever Meng Qianqian thought of her second aunt's pure and sincere nature, enduring humiliation and carrying the burden of revenge as she infiltrated the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion, her heart ached as if pierced by needles.
The Majestic King looked at the siblings, then at Meng Qianqian, sensing the increasingly awkward atmosphere. He scratched his head and said, "Alright, alright! It's a joyous occasion, so don't be so tense! Quickly, let's have a reunion!"
He walked up to Meng Qianqian, "Granddaughter-in-law, don't cry. I brought these people back, not to make you cry. If they upset you, I'll send them back to the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, the young man and the girl both widened their eyes in shock.
Meng Qianqian smiled through her tears, "Grandfather, I'm not crying. I'm happy."
The Majestic King covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Granddaughter-in-law, I feel like our journey back was too smooth. The assassins sent by the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion seemed incompetent. Could there be a trick?"
At this point, the Dragon and Phoenix Twins' jaws nearly dropped in surprise.
Meng Qianqian looked at the siblings, then at the Majestic King, "Could it be that your martial arts are too high, making those assassins seem weak? If it were someone else, they might have died seven or eight times by now?"
The Majestic King stroked his chin, deep in thought.
With appearances so similar to her second uncle and aunt, it was impossible for them not to be of the Shangjia bloodline.
Moreover, it was not just their looks but also the sense of bond and destiny that seemed ingrained in their bones that confirmed to Meng Qianqian that they were the family she had been searching for.
Meng Qianqian hadn't been this excited even when she killed Chancellor Xun. But upon seeing the children of her second uncle and aunt, she found it hard to maintain her usual composure.
She took a deep breath and quickly walked up to them, "I'm your sister."
Shang Jiu, your close cousin.
Meng Qianqian wanted to reach out and hold their hands but hesitated and held back, asking softly, "Do you know your background?"
The Majestic King replied, "On the way back to the capital, I told them."
Meng Qianqian was taken aback, "What do you mean? Could it be that during these years in the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion, you were kept in the dark about your identities?"
The Majestic King sighed, "Yes, the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion deceived them, claiming they were the children of the pavilion master. Celestial Dragon took them away, and this kid almost stabbed Celestial Dragon with a knife."
Meng Qianqian thought of something and hurriedly asked, "The blood on the bundle..."
The Majestic King pointed to the young man, "His own."
He didn't stab Celestial Dragon but himself.
Celestial Dragon wouldn't tolerate him.
No one else would either.
Embarrassed by the mention of his blunder, the young man's eyes flashed with a hint of awkwardness.
"Is your wound healed?"
Meng Qianqian asked.
"It healed long ago."
The young man replied indifferently.
Seeing his awkward and frustrated expression, Meng Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, "Just like my second uncle! I'm Xiaojiu. What are your names?"
"Speak."
The Majestic King said in a bandit-like tone.
The young man, recalling his unfortunate 'education' by the Majestic King during the journey, turned away, reluctantly answering, "Wuyou, and my sister is Changle."
