Yang Feilong saw his parents in a bad mood and smiled slightly, saying, "Mom, let's eat. Dad, let's have another drink, just the two of us."
"You... you're alright now?" Yang Shan looked at Yang Feilong hesitantly.
"I'm fine. Knowing I wasn't abandoned by my birth parents due to poor health, I'm in a pretty good mood," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Aren't you worried about your birth mother?" Li Jingyun pursed her lips.
"If something serious had happened, it would have happened by now!" Yang Feilong shook his head. "Worrying is useless. Besides, her family wouldn't kill her, at most they'd confine her at home! And I will definitely rescue her from this suffering!"
Seeing his parents' continued worry, Yang Feilong said with a proud look on his face, "Mom and Dad, don't worry about me. I won't do anything foolish. Moreover, your son is very strong. Otherwise, would the families of those cultivators agree to let their daughters be among my women?"
Yang Qingqing seemed to understand Yang Feilong's meaning and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, don't worry too much. My brother knows what he's doing. He's also more outstanding than you imagine. Perhaps you don't know, but he's now a Divine Constable, with hundreds of formidable patrol officers under his command."
"Divine Constable?" The couple looked at Yang Feilong with surprise and joy. "Such a young Divine Constable?"
They naturally knew how powerful the Patrol Bureau was, and a Divine Constable was a top-tier existence within the bureau. Their previous worries vanished instantly.
"Then, you must investigate your mother's situation quickly. If she's imprisoned, rescue her as soon as possible," Li Jingyun urged.
"Of course. After all, she's my birth mother. If I didn't know, it would be one thing, but now that I do, how could I let her suffer?" Yang Feilong smiled.
"That's good, that's good! A Divine Constable, my son is actually a Divine Constable?" Yang Shan was overjoyed. His concerns and worries were completely gone. The atmosphere returned to a joyful one.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, I have something to do and will be leaving early tomorrow morning," Yang Feilong said.
"So soon?" The parents' hearts tightened.
"I'm a Divine Constable, and there are many matters to handle at the end of the year," Yang Feilong explained with a smile. "Besides, I also want to investigate my parents' situation."
"Is that so? Will you be home for the New Year?" Li Jingyun asked with concern.
"It's fine whether you spend it at home or with your master on the mountain," Yang Shan said with a smile. He didn't want to force his son to choose, as it was too difficult.
"Yes, it's up to you," Li Jingyun realized her words were a bit inappropriate.
"We'll see then! It's hard to say now," Yang Feilong shook his head. "If I can come back for the New Year, I'll try my best to make it!"
"Mm," Li Jingyun nodded. She wanted to say something, but Yang Shan spoke up. "We won't say too much. Feilong, you've grown up and are capable now. Think carefully about everything. Remember you have many people who care about you. Don't act impulsively."
"I understand, Dad," Yang Feilong smiled and replied. "I'm going back to my room."
"Okay," Yang Shan and Li Jingyun both responded.
Not long after Yang Feilong left, Yang Qingqing tidied up the dishes and said to her parents with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to keep my brother company."
"Go ahead!" Li Jingyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After Yang Qingqing left, Li Jingyun whispered, "Old Yang, do you think our daughter is dating our son?"
"It looks a bit like it," Yang Shan sighed. The daughter's eyes were full of affection for her son, and she didn't hide it at all. As a couple who had been through a lot, they could see it clearly, they were just too embarrassed to point it out.
"Feilong is good in every way, it's just that he has too many women," Li Jingyun said with some annoyance.
"After all, our daughter and his other girlfriends are different. Our daughter is his sister," Yang Shan said helplessly. He wanted to stop it, but they knew their daughter very well. She was stubborn. If they forcefully found her another boyfriend, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't run away from home.
"Forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own fortunes. If the two of them end up together, then so be it. Besides, Feilong won't mistreat Qingqing," Li Jingyun said with some frustration.
"Mm, that's all we can do," Yang Shan nodded.
...
In his room, Yang Feilong lay on his desk, quietly looking at the night view through the window. He had appeared full of confidence just now, but at this moment, he was far from as confident as he had seemed. His mother possessing a spiritual artifact like a jade pendant indicated her identity was not simple. Spiritual artifacts weren't common in the mortal world, though they weren't entirely absent. Powerful figures like Old Fang might possess them, but such existences were typically at the Foundation Establishment or Innate realm. His mother, if Yang Feilong's guess was correct, was likely at the Innate (or Foundation Establishment) realm, or at least close to it. Such a family was almost non-existent in the mortal world. Families like Old Fang's were essentially cultivator families with branches in the mortal world.
"My mother's family might be one of the prominent cultivator families in the spiritual realm, while my father might be from the mortal world," Yang Feilong analyzed silently. "I just don't know if my father was also a cultivator?" It was possible, or it wasn't, it was uncertain. Of course, investigating wouldn't be easy, as there were tens of millions of people named Yang in Long Country. While it was possible to eliminate a large portion, there would still be many who broadly fit the criteria.
"Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Perhaps when my cultivation breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation, I'll know!" Yang Feilong thought to himself. After all, the spiritual artifact jade pendant contained the mystery of his mother's background. Rather than spending great effort and making a big fuss to find out, it would be better to break through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation. Once the jade pendant was refined, he would naturally know.
Just then, the door opened, revealing Yang Qingqing's fair and beautiful face. "Brother, can I come in?"
"Come in!" Yang Feilong smiled and said softly.
Yang Qingqing walked in and closed the door. "Sister, thank you for bailing me out just now," Yang Feilong said to his sister with a light laugh. He was referring to the issue of girlfriends, and by bringing it up now, he was also preparing his parents. If their relationship was discovered later, they might not be as angry because they would have some psychological preparation. He didn't realize his parents had already seen signs and were somewhat accepting.
"Since I helped you so much, is there any reward for me?" Yang Qingqing asked, sitting directly on Yang Feilong's lap and hugging his neck, her face only a few centimeters away from his.
"What reward do you want?" Yang Feilong smiled at his sister.
"I want you," Yang Qingqing said directly, then kissed Yang Feilong on the lips.
"..." There was nothing else to say. Since his sister was so direct, Yang Feilong naturally couldn't disappoint her.
