Chapter 571: The Ancestor's Comfort

Chu Xi glanced at the red cloth in his father's hand.

Suddenly, he understood.

His father's illness might be related to the return of his third sister.

If that was the case...

Then it wasn't an ordinary illness, and stopping wouldn't help.

After contemplating for a moment, Chu Xi said, "Let's head back to the city first."

Chu Xi's mother couldn't help but frown with worry.

Chu Xi comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much, I guess there are some other reasons. We need to find the Abbot now."

Chu Xi's mother was startled for a moment, then, meeting Chu Xi's gaze and seeing him nod toward the red cloth, she immediately understood.

That other reason...

It must have something to do with the third sister.

Chu Xi's mother did not say anything more, looking anxiously at both her husband and the red cloth.

Fortunately, although Chu Xi's father had developed a fever, he had not let go of the red cloth in his hand and held onto it tightly.
