The person who asked this was Gu Qianying.
When they arrived, Nangong Mo had told her that this was the Blue Spirit Maiden, the guardian of the Blue Sea.
And this woman's appearance clearly indicated she was the Blue Spirit Maiden.
This woman also called her mother "sister."
So, her mother was likely also...
As soon as Gu Qianying finished speaking, the woman smiled again, "It was also when my sister and I met for the first time after many years. She said that if she had children, they would surely be intelligent. At that time, I teased her, saying, 'Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of man your sister chooses as your father.'"
"Later, after many years, I heard that my sister had given birth to a pair of twins. At that time, this Spirit Maiden was in seclusion for cultivation, and had just become the guardian of the Blue Sea. I was too busy to visit my sister."
"Since I knew you grew up, I always wondered if you were intelligent. However, it seems my sister was right back then. The children she gave birth to are indeed intelligent."
Saying this, the woman walked up to Gu Qianying and circled her.
"To say who resembles my sister the most, it is you, this girl. Her disposition, her personality, you have learned a bit. However... descending to the mortal realm, having your immortal bones extracted and becoming a mortal, perhaps to protect you both, she endured so much hardship."
The woman paused at this point.
She looked at Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng, "You are stunningly beautiful, and your brother is as well. It seems the man my sister found was also good-looking."
The woman stopped in front of Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng, "Oh... hehe, after talking for so long, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. Girls, boys, hello, I am your aunt whom you've never heard of, your mother's elder sister."
"Of course, it's not because my sister and I have a bad relationship that she didn't mention me to you. It's because... she didn't want to bring up the past, she wanted you to live a normal mortal life."
"Of course, your presence here shows that you haven't lived the ordinary lives your mother wished for you."
"Aunt?"
Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng found these two words very unfamiliar.
At this moment, the siblings did not believe what the woman was saying.
Having roamed the martial world for so long, they were not naive. They would not believe a one-sided story.
At this moment, the woman also noticed the thoughts of Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng, "It seems you don't believe me. It's fine. If you believed me based on this Spirit Maiden's word alone, then I would look down on you."
As she spoke.
The Blue Spirit Maiden flicked her sleeve in the air.
A white light suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, everyone saw a scene in the air.
In the picture, there were two women who looked alike, both dressed in white.
In a place filled with ethereal energy, the two women were playing by a river.
They sat together, singing a small tune on the riverbank.
The river surface was covered with a white mist, and immortal flowers and grasses were planted in the river. Immortal cranes accompanied the two women behind them.
The two women extended their tender, smooth jade feet into the river.
The river water spread, covering the women's feet.
The two seemed very happy.
They held hands, hummed a tune, and laughed, tilting their heads back.
"Sister, if in the future, what kind of husband would you find?"
One of the women rested her head on the other's shoulder.
Although these two looked very similar, one wore a blue flower hairpin.
Her sister, the other woman, wore a white flower hairpin.
The younger sister's voice was as pleasant as a yellow oriole's.
As for her sister, the woman with the white flower, upon hearing this, she thought for a moment and then looked at the scenery not far away, saying, "Just find someone who cherishes and loves me."
This woman's voice was very gentle.
Not as lively as the other.
"A husband who cherishes and loves you? Sister, don't you want to find a handsome husband, or someone powerful and influential, like our Heavenly Venerable?"
Upon mentioning the words "Heavenly Venerable."
It was evident that the woman referred to as "sister," the one with the white flower, her eyes flickered with a moment of daze.
Her expression also showed a moment of panic.
However, the other person did not notice these.
"How one looks is merely a skin. An interesting spirit is the most precious. Finding someone who cherishes and loves you will make you happier. If you meet someone..."
At this point, the woman with the white flower seemed a little sad. She lowered her eyes and looked at the small fish swimming back and forth in the river.
Her voice was somewhat mournful, "If you meet someone you love but who does not love you, all that is left for you is pain!"
Beside her.
The woman with the blue flower, leaning on her shoulder, did not grasp the deeper meaning of her words.
"If that's the case, then sister will definitely find a husband who loves and cherishes herself in the future."
The woman with the white flower remained silent, she did not respond to her sister's words.
Instead, she looked up at the tree not far away, where wish strips were hanging.
Only she knew the bitterness in her heart.
She had never revealed half of it to anyone.
Seeing her silence, the woman with the blue flower beside her straightened her face and turned to look at her, "Sister, why aren't you speaking? What are you thinking about?"
The woman with the white flower turned her head and smiled at her sister, "Nothing. I... I am thinking about... my children."
The woman with the blue flower beside her seemed not to have heard clearly. She asked with surprise, "What? Children? When did sister have children? How come I didn't know?"
"Did you secretly give birth outside without telling your sister? Whose are they?"
The woman with the white flower smiled. She raised her hand and tapped her sister's forehead, "You're talking nonsense."
What did her sister mean by that?
"I really like children. I often think that if I have children in the future, my children will definitely be the most sensible, obedient, and beautiful children in this world."
Listening to her words, the woman with the blue flower was stunned for a moment.
She clearly hadn't expected her sister to mention children.
And for them, these seemed like distant matters.
They hadn't met a satisfactory husband yet, nor were they married, so where would children come from?
Moreover, they would need the Heavenly Venerable's consent to have children.
In the ancient Immortal Realm, everyone was well aware of the consequences of falling in love, of abandoning cultivation, and of conceiving and bearing children.
Suddenly, the woman with the blue flower looked sharply at her sister, her eyes filled with shock, "Sister... you haven't fallen for someone, have you? And you want to have children for him? Sister... is it true?"
The woman with the white flower did not look at the woman with the blue flower. She lowered her gaze, her gentle eyes falling on her belly. She smiled very gently, "I will not like anyone, but I will like my children. I know if I am pregnant or not. However... last night I had a dream. I dreamt of two adorable babies who burrowed into my belly, and I became their mother."
As she said this, the woman with the white flower kept smiling gently.
And this sentence, for the woman with the blue flower to hear, was beyond words to express her shock.
"Sister! You have already violated heavenly rules. Who is that scoundrel?
The woman with the white flower raised her gentle eyes. She turned to look at her sister and feigned ignorance, "What scoundrel? Which scoundrel? Sister, what are you talking about?"
The woman with the blue flower withdrew her feet. She questioned sternly, "Sister, who is that dog man who made you pregnant? Who is he?"
It was clear that the woman with the blue flower was angry and upset.
This matter was not a joke.
Seeing this, the woman with the white flower smiled. She pulled the woman with the blue flower and made her sit down, comforting her, "Sister, I was joking. Why are you taking it seriously? Where would I get a man? You are with me all day, isn't there anything about me you don't know?"
"Really not?"
The woman with the blue flower did not quite believe it.
The woman with the white flower also withdrew her jade feet.
"Really not. When has sister ever lied to you? What sister just said was just a hypothetical. Sister still has to cultivate with you. How could sister abandon this cultivation? Sister, don't worry, sister will never hide anything from you, no matter what she does."
As the woman with the white flower said this, her gaze was fixed behind the woman with the blue flower.
She was not looking directly at the woman with the blue flower.
The immortal cranes behind the two women had already left at some point.
"Sister, you keep your word, otherwise sister will hate you."
The woman with the blue flower said very seriously.
The smile of the woman with the white flower froze for a moment, then she raised her hand and flicked the nose of the woman with the blue flower, "Okay, I got it, my good sister."
The scene that appeared in the sky ended at this moment.
The picture disappeared.
The Blue Spirit Maiden turned her gaze to Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng.
At this moment, Gu Qianying and Gu Yefeng were both stunned in place.
The siblings glanced at each other, then simultaneously looked at the Blue Spirit Maiden, "Impossible!"
"My brother and I are not twins born on the same day."
Gu Qianying was very sure of this.
Gu Yefeng also felt it was impossible.
"And our father is from the Gu family, we..."
His words, after suddenly thinking of a possibility, Gu Yefeng swallowed the rest of his sentence.
His eyes widened in shock, "You mean... our father is..."
Even though Gu Yefeng did not say it directly, the Blue Spirit Maiden knew very well what he was going to say.
She smiled upon hearing this and looked up at Gu Yefeng, "You are mistaken." She pointed to Gu Qianying beside her, "This little girl's father is not a mortal, while your father was originally a mortal."
"What?"
This statement stunned Gu Qianying and everyone behind her.
Among those present, only Nangong Mo showed no shock on his face.
