Absolute Resonance Chapter 1404: Secrets Of That Year

Chapter 1404: Secrets Of That Year

Tan Tailan's words caused Jiang Qing'e's and Li Luo's expressions to change. Li Luo was reminded of Tan Tailan's words to be nicer to Jiang Qing'e. After all, she had said that they owed her.

"Mother, what exactly happened in those ruins all those years ago?" he couldn't help but ask.

The entire situation was shrouded in mystery and no one knew anything about it, except for the two who had been directly involved.

Looking at their curious gazes, Tan Tailan helplessly explained, "We were fortunate enough to stumble upon the Absolute Resonance Seed in the ruins. That object was full of its own spirituality and sentience and could even attract good luck and avoid disasters. It was impossible to capture it by force, even if one was a King. We originally didn't hold any expectations towards it, but it actually approached me on its own initiative. When I stretched my hand out and touched it, it merged with my body. But before I could rejoice, the Absolute Resonance Seed resonated with you and then fused with you instead. This was a heaven-shaking development. However, the Absolute Resonance Seed was a peerless treasure nurtured by the entire Sacred Void Resonance Sect and its ancestors, and its fusion with you wasn't something we could bear."

At this point, Tan Tailan revealed an expression of fear. Just thinking of what had happened was still frightening.

"At that moment, I was almost turned into a pool of blood by the mighty spiritual light emitted by the Absolute Resonance Seed," she explained with a low voice.

Cold sweat beaded on Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's foreheads.

"Fortunately, we never gave up hope." Tan Tailan sighed. "While my blood was being scattered by the seed, I accidentally touched the sealed Little Jiang'e. The aura of the Genesis Seed immediately radiated from her, and its energy resisted the spiritual light of the Absolute Resonance Seed. In the end, your father and I narrowly escaped death."

Her warm gaze then fell upon Jiang Qing'e. "Thus, Little Jiang'e is our family's benefactor. If not for her, Li Luo and I would have died in the ruins of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect."

Li Luo finally understood Tan Tailan's words from back then and why both Li Taixuan and her had favored and doted on Jiang Qing'e more throughout their childhood.

Jiang Qing'e herself let out a slight breath of relief. She didn't have any recollection of what had happened, but if she had managed to save Li Luo and Tan Tailan, then that was a heartening revelation.

"Little Jiang'e saved you and I, but she also harmed her own potential. Otherwise, her first resonance wouldn't have just been a lower ninth-grade." Tan Tailan looked at her apologetically. "Furthermore the seal that protected Little Jiang'e weakened because of this. It was only then that we noticed life coming from Little Jiang'e's body. Originally, Taixuan and I didn't dare to lightly come into contact with anything in the ruins. We felt that the entire place was terrifying and we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences of taking any items from it. However, because of this development, we changed our minds. In the end, we also took Little Jiang'e out of the ruins with us. After we left, we encountered many situations and were forced to leave the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent for the outer divine continent. The seal on Little Jiang'e was dissipating very quickly, so we hid her in a spatial rift far from the Xia Kingdom for the sake of her safety. Taixuan and I took turns observing her. The seal completely dissipated when you were three, and Little Jiang'e was a young girl who was beginning to regain her mind. It was then that we brought her back to House Luolan."

All of the secrets were slowly being unveiled to the two of them.

Li Luo now understood why Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan would often leave for a period of time. It also explained why they had once returned with that little girl with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.

It turned out it was because Jiang Qing'e had been unsealed.

Tan Tailan then turned towards the two. "These are all things that happened a long time ago. The two of you have grown up, and I would naturally not hide any of this from you. Also..."

As she looked at Jiang Qing'e, doting fondness could be seen in her eyes as she attentively said, "Qing'e, I hope that you won't think that the only reason why we treat you well is because of what happened in the ruins. I won't deny that I originally took care of you because of how appreciative I was to you for saving our lives, but ever since you came to House Luolan, I’ve always seen you as my actual daughter."

Jiang Qing'e's eyes turned slightly red. How could she not have felt Tan Tailan and Li Taixuan's feelings towards her all these years? In her heart, they were truly her family.

She had accidentally saved them all those years ago, and perhaps this was simply their destiny.

If not for that, Tan Tailan and Li Taixuan might not have dared to take her out of the ruins and she would have been left sleeping endlessly for all of time. Perhaps her story would have been completely different.

However, would that story have Li Luo, Tan Tailan, or Li Taixuan within it?

"Mother, I'm very thankful for what you did all those years ago, bringing me out of the ruins and giving me a home in House Luolan." Jiang Qing'e's eyes were slightly moist.

"I really love this family, and I will do my best to protect it."

Tan Tailan's eyes also began to tear up, and she couldn't help but hug Jiang Qing'e emotionally. "What a good daughter you are. Our family would break down sooner or later without the two of us."

Li Luo was left speechless. How was he getting attacked even when he wasn't even related to the conversation? He had given a lot for this family too y'know!

"If you loved her so much, why did the two of you sneak away that year, leaving the two of us behind to fend off those vicious wolves in the Xia Kingdom?" Li Luo complained in a low voice.

"Do you know just how bad House Luolan's situation was after the two of you left? I was just a young lord with a blank palace, the b.u.t.t of everyone's jokes. If not for Sister Qing'e stepping up and doing her best to stabilize House Luolan's situation, this young lord would have been chased out."

"We had made some arrangements before we left. At the very least, Old Ox was there. Even if House Luolan was destroyed, your lives would still be safe. Furthermore, wasn't that good training for you?" Tan Tailan smiled. ??Ｎȫ?Ëꞩ

Li Luo rolled his eyes. "What I wanted to ask is what was so urgent that you had to leave so quickly? We can help you if need be as well."

Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly in agreement.

Tan Tailan lightly sighed. The questions had led to this point in the end. These two brats weren't so easy to deal with after so many years. She fell silent before softly answering, "How could any parent be willing to leave their children if they don't have to? We left because of you."

Tan Tailan's heavy gaze was focused on Li Luo.

"If we didn't, you would have died."
