Qin Lang didn't hear Jiu'er speak for a long time. He subconsciously glanced over and discovered that Jiu'er was actually crying.

"Jiu'er, what happened to you? Don't cry. If you have anything to say to me and Senior Xiong, just say it!"

Qin Lang quickly turned his head and tried to persuade Jiu'er, but only then did Xiong Zi notice that Jiu'er was crying.

"Right, little girl, what's the matter? Tell me and Qin Boy, if he bullies you, I'll beat him until he won't even recognize his own mother."

Xiong Zi opened up his big hands and tried to make some gestures. Perhaps in his tens of thousands of years of life, he had never tried to persuade a crying little girl before, so he didn't know what to do.

No, no, Qin Lang didn't bully me. Senior Xiong, I just don't understand, even if my parents are from the Li Clan, then there's no need to leave me. I'm still so young, but they left me without a trace.

The more she spoke, the more wronged she became. Previously, she didn't know that her own background was good, but now that she knew something about her parents, she was ruthlessly abandoned by them.

"Little girl, the truth might not be as you think, maybe something happened and they have to leave you, the Li Clan does not allow marriage to another clan, I think your parents came to this place to avoid being hunted down!"

Xiong Zizai rubbed Jiu'er's head as he spoke, and at the same time, he revealed the fact that the three great hidden clans did not allow their own clans to marry into another clan. This was also one of the reasons why their race was so small.

"Senior, why do I feel like something's wrong?"

Qin Lang seemed to have discovered something amiss when he heard this.

"What's wrong?"

Xiong Zizai's eyes opened wide as he asked loudly. Jiu'er's tears had not dried yet, so she turned her head over as well.

"Senior Xiong, Little Nine's skeletal age is fourteen years old, right?"

"That's right!"

"Alright, if that's the case, then if Jiu Er's parents are the last batch of people to come here like you, then that means they have lived for tens of thousands of years just like you. Then how was Jiu Er born? If they had just given birth to nine children, according to what you have said, the connection between the Heavenly Star Continent and the Moon Flower Continent would have been severed.

Qin Lang spoke out his thoughts. Moreover, he had his reasons for doing so. For a time, Xiong Zhichu and Jiu'er both fell silent.

You're right, it's said that the Li Clan's descendants have been bearing children much longer than the other clans, and they can even control the time they have to give birth to their own children. However, they shouldn't be able to wait tens of thousands of years, and if we were to say why they abandoned Jiu'er, then there's another possibility. Xiong Zichu gave the two of them a stern look, and continued: "That is the connection between the Moonlight Continent and the road of exile has been established, or another world has appeared on the way of exile, and the influx of spiritual energy from the outside world caused the mutation of the demon beasts to speed up. I believe that you guys have also felt it, haven't your cultivation speed increased a lot recently?"

Jiu'er and Qin Lang looked at each other and nodded once more.

"When we old people woke up, it was also an accident, a few thousand years earlier than the last time. We felt that the spiritual energy in the road of exile was becoming more and more abundant, so I guessed that Jiu Er's parents probably didn't want to cause her any trouble because of their identities, so they entered some sort of space channel."

Although he was also in the Heavenly Star Continent, he did not have any feelings for this place, and things had long changed. When he saw Jiu'er, he thought of the Bright Moon Continent, and his memories of the past became much clearer.

"Senior Xiong, you said that my parents didn't abandon me, but were afraid of bringing trouble to me?"

Jiu'er's eyes lit up. Her voice was filled with joy as she looked at Senior Xiong with anticipation.

"That's right, just like that. Which parent would abandon their own child?"

Xiong Zizai laughed, his hand still stroking Jiu'er's head.

"This is great! Senior, where do you live? Let's go quickly!"

Jiu'er laughed, happily running to the front and loudly asking Old Man Xiong.

"Front. Just walk straight!"

"Alright."

Jiu'er happily ran in front, but Qin Lang looked at Xiong Zichu who was smiling at her, and had many questions in his heart.
