Sun Zhe smiled and asked, "Do you think I'd joke about something like this with you?"
Hearing this, Chen Ruolong quieted down.
Thinking carefully, judging from Xia Shiqing's attitude toward Sun Zhe, it really did seem like an elder dealing with a younger generation.
In that train of thought, his gaze suddenly trembled; he whipped his head to look at Sun Zhe, his lips shaking uncontrollably.
Because he suddenly realized something terrifying.
Seeing his reaction, Sun Zhe frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Ruolong took a deep breath, steadying himself with effort, then asked gingerly, "Since the Empress is your aunt, then the Empress's older sister, meaning the Qingcheng Immortal… is your mom?"
Sun Zhe nodded.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing Sun Zhe nod, Chen Ruolong nearly jumped out of his chair in excitement. He rushed to say, "So when you said you came to Kyoto looking for your mom, you meant looking for the Qingcheng Immortal?"
"That's right."
