Chapter 441 is also a way of doing something for my mother.

"That's a long story. I just don't know if you know about your mother's background. I was surprised when I saw you by chance one day, and then I had someone investigate before I dared to confirm it."
Zi Xing lowered her head with a sigh, as if she had a thousand thoughts in her heart, or as if she really was a very close person to Su Li Luo.
Su Liluo suppressed her inner sarcasm and frowned in confusion, "Does the divine doctor know my mother? To be honest, my mother died when I was born, and I was raised by the second wife."
I didn't even know my mother was dead when I was a child. It wasn't until I grew up and discovered something was wrong that I investigated and found out that I was the legitimate daughter of a general.
My mother died young, and I didn't have many friends in this capital city, so I don't know much about her. I only know that she was a female doctor and left me some things.
thing?
Su Liluo caught a clear glimpse of the fleeting excitement on Zixing's face as she listened to her mention something.
It seems that these things were indeed her goal.
"It's all my fault. If I had been able to stop your mother from coming here, perhaps none of this would have happened. But back then, I had no choice but to follow the sect's rules. I was just a disciple then and couldn't leave at will."
Zi Xing wiped away non-existent tears and sighed, pretending to be really heartbroken.
"Really? May I ask what the relationship is between the divine doctor and my mother, and where exactly is my mother from?"
Su Liluo continued to press for answers.
Zi Xing looked at the innocence in Su Liluo's eyes and thought she had taken the bait.
After all, Xinglan's existence is a secret; no one outside of their own group would know about it.
"Your Highness, to be honest, your mother and I are actually fellow disciples. I am her senior. Your mother and I grew up together, and our relationship is just like that of real sisters."
We used to live happily together in the sect. Your mother was a disciple highly valued by our master, who even wanted to pass on his unparalleled medical skills to her.
But one day, your mother suddenly fell in love with a man outside the sect. For her sake, she broke with her master and even took away the sect's treasures.
I wanted to find your mother back then, but my master stopped me. He said your mother had been deceived by a man and would regret it sooner or later. But all these years, I haven't heard a word from your mother, and I worry about her every day.
The sect that once raised your mother is also facing a crisis because of the long-lost treasure, and even our master has passed away because of it.
"To prevent more of my fellow disciples from getting hurt or dying, I mustered up the courage to leave the sect. My purpose was to find your mother and bring back the sect's treasure to save my fellow disciples."
Zi Xing slowly began to explain.
"Yeah?"
Su Lilu murmured, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
This Zi Xing is quite the storyteller. If she hadn't been her master's disciple, she might have been fooled by her.
"What is that treasure? All my mother left behind were a few medical books. Can these save the sisters in the sect?"
Su Liluo frowned, looking puzzled.
"Are there only a few medical books?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Xing stopped choking up and asked with a mixture of excitement and surprise.
"Yes, just a box of medical books. I learned all my medical skills from those books. Oh, and some other random things, but I wasn't interested in those, so I just left them aside."
Su Liluo said casually, seemingly unaware of how important her mother's things were.
Zi Xing lowered her eyes, a surging darkness flashing within them.
After reading those medical books, she acquired medical skills that ordinary people could not match. This daughter of Blue Star truly inherited her great talent!
However, judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to know anything about the spatial ring.
That spatial ring is a sect's most precious treasure. If she obtains it, she will be invincible in the world.
"Are you referring to any of those random things, like jewelry, rings, jade pieces, or bracelets?"
Zi Xing glanced tentatively at Su Liluo.
"Huh, how did you know? Could those things be some kind of treasure? But they just look like ordinary jewelry to me, and they don't seem to be very valuable."
Su Liluo looked at Zixing with feigned surprise.
Zi Xing smiled slightly and said happily, "Those things were left behind by our late master. Perhaps they are worthless in the eyes of the Crown Princess who is used to seeing rich and noble things, but they are very meaningful to us."
"Really? Then... then should I return those things to you?"
"Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Zi Xing was so shocked that she almost stammered. She never expected Su Liluo to hand over the item so easily.
She forgot to control her expression, a hint of suspicion appearing in her eyes as she sized up Su Liluo.
Is this girl up to something?
Is she really that easy to fool?
Su Liluo saw through her expression, smiled calmly, and then put on her innocent look again.
“That originally belonged to your sect, so isn’t it only right to return it to you? I think if Mother were alive, she would also want to return it to its rightful owner.”
But she left suddenly back then, and I didn't have time to do any of this. The only useful things for me were those medical books, which I memorized completely.
"How about I send these things back to my mother's sect? It would be something I do for her, but..."
"Just what?"
Seeing Su Liluo pause in her speech, Zixing anxiously pressed for more information.
It would be best if that fool hadn't discovered the spatial ring. Once I get the ring, I must find a way to activate it.
"I just hope to personally deliver these things to the sect, and I also want to see what the place where my mother grew up is like, and by the way, I want to pay my respects to her master on her behalf."
My mother had no parents, so my master must have been like a parent to her. She wasn't by her side when she passed away, and couldn't even offer incense to her. My mother must have regretted it. So let me go in her place.”
Su Liluo said dejectedly.
"That's certainly possible. Your Highness can decide when it's convenient for you to return to our sect with me."
Zi Xing suppressed her joy and said seriously.
Once she brings Su Liluo back to the sect and retrieves the treasure, she won't let her live in this world.
This woman was able to become self-taught after reading only a few medical books, which shows how terrifying her talent is. Even if the spatial ring is on her body, she will not feel at ease.
She absolutely could not allow anyone more talented than herself to live in this world, unless that person was her child.
Unfortunately, Su Liluo was born into the wrong family.
