Chapter 4848: Friendliness

"Big Brother, this is little aunt's personal disciple."

Murong Yan, realizing belatedly, glanced at the young girl with a sudden understanding. "Ah, yes, is it the one from the Sacred Water Sect on Sikong Star?"

No wonder his sister immediately said the young girl looked familiar; she really was one of their own.

His little aunt's personal disciple was no different from a direct disciple of the Murong family.

Murong Yan quickly said with a smile, "Please forgive me for not recognizing you sooner, young lady."

The little stoic still wore an expressionless face, but her eyes sparkled as she looked at Murong Yan, pretending to be unconcerned. "No need to mind."

Before she could finish her sentence, Murong Yan took out a small box from his inner realm and handed it to Qiao Mu. "Little Junior Sister, I hope you don't mind me calling you that? Please accept this small token. Consider it a welcoming gift from your Senior Brother. They are just insignificant little things, a few array diagrams I made myself, always ready for use."

The belatedly aware Murong Zhao and Murong Fei also hurriedly took out their own gifts, piling them into the little stoic's hands. "Little Junior Sister, from now on, we are family. Don't be afraid. Even if our little aunt is gone, our Wangchuan Murong family will be your strong backing."

Murong Fei paused, then asked with some confusion, "By the way, where have you been all these years?"

After the destruction of the Sacred Water Sect, the Wangchuan Murong family actually sent a group of people to guard outside the Sacred Water Sect on Sikong Star for several months. However, they didn't find a single Sacred Water Sect disciple, which was extremely frustrating.

They only withdrew everyone half a year later.

At that time, the returning clansmen reported that there were no survivors in the Sacred Water Sect.

The elders and senior relatives in the family were all very indignant and had been investigating this matter for many years.

However, at that time, they were also hindered by the heavenly dao, and their reach didn't dare to extend too far. They had always been investigating secretly, and progress was very slow.

Qiao Mu's eyes lit up. She quietly accepted the gifts from her little senior brothers and sisters, saying, "It's a long story."

The three: ...

Strange, why did it suddenly feel awkward?

"It's a long story," the little stoic said with a conflicted expression. "I'll tell you later when I have time."

Of course, it was highly unlikely she would tell them herself. It would be better to take them to the current Sacred Water Sect and have a talkative senior sister explain the situation.

Murong Fei smiled gleefully. "That's good too."

The little stoic's mouth moved. She had intended to tell them that Murong Xun might still be saved.

But then she reconsidered. To avoid greater disappointment from dashed hopes, it was better not to say anything for now. Perhaps one day, she could awaken her master, and then let the family members reunite. Wouldn't that be an even more wonderful surprise?

"Sirs, is your reunion over?" First Young Master Qin ambled over with a smile, glancing at the young girl's unruffled face.

Pfft, this little girl still wants to trick him?

She was clearly very happy and excited inside. If it weren't for their presence, the little stoic would probably have already pulled that Miss Murong aside for a warm "chat."

"Qiao Qiao, can you share a tent with Miss Murong tonight?"

Qiao Mu nodded without objection, but Murong Fei seemed delighted. "You've been staying on this turtle island for two days now, right?"

Without waiting for Qiao Mu to show disdain, First Young Master Qin nodded and chuckled, "Yes, everything is ready; we were just waiting for your key."

Murong Yan reached into his robes.
