Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 970: Chapter 967: Searching for Family

Si Youyou said, ”You mother and son are having a reunion, so we won’t go with you!”

”Please, please, can you come with me?” Xu Wendong looked anxious.

Xu Fan couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s the matter with you? Logically, going to find your relatives should be a happy occasion, why are you so nervous?”

”I don’t know either.” Xu Wendong gave a bitter smile. He didn’t know why, but he simply felt an inexplicable tension and anxiety within.

Because.

He had no idea if his mother was still alive.

Yes, even though he was now the master of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, he had never spied on the Luo Family of Nanyang City, Yanzhou.

He was afraid of the disappointment that would come if he couldn’t find his mother.

Thus, he wanted to personally search for his mother’s whereabouts.

Si Youyou had a faint bitter smile on her lips.

Who would have thought that as the ruler of this land, Xu Wendong would display such anxiety?

”In that case, my daughter and I will accompany you on your search!” Si Youyou finally agreed to Xu Wendong’s request.

She wanted to provide Xu Wendong with emotional support.

”Thank you, Master Mother, I... do I need to... take a bath and maybe... change into new clothes?”

Xu Wendong had never been as nervous as he was at this moment.

Nervous to the point of being somewhat at a loss.

Because.

He was finally going to meet his mother.

As a child, every time he was bullied, he envied others who could go home to complain, who could return to their mother’s arms to share their grievances.

But.

He didn’t know where his mother was.

However.

This did not diminish the sacred status of the word ”mother” in his heart.

Because even without having met her, he knew that years ago, his mother had risked her life to carry him away from the Xu Family of the Capital.

”Wendong, you don’t need to be so nervous!” Si Youyou’s heart softened: ”You’re already very handsome in this outfit, and even if you were destitute, your mother wouldn’t despise you.”

”Because, you are a piece of her flesh!”

Xu Wendong nodded solemnly, ”In that case, let’s head to Nanyang City in Yanzhou!”

”Alright, I’ll take you there.” Si Youyou knew that Xu Wendong’s emotions were very unstable, and enveloping Xu Wendong and Xu Fan with her Nascent Soul Force, she flew directly toward Nanyang City.

Nanyang City was over a thousand kilometers from the Sword Pavilion, and though the journey was not short, Si Youyou’s flying speed was very fast.

Even without using teleportation, the speed exceeded 500 km/h, unmatched by any worldly means of transportation.

By noon.

The three arrived outside Nanyang City.

Nanyang City was not large, with a population of only about 500,000.

Yet the city was exceptionally prosperous.

It was situated on a vast expanse, surrounded by mountains, with an advantageous geographical position and convenient transportation.

The walls of Flourishing Prefecture were tall and majestic, built of sturdy granite, having withstood the elements for millennia, yet still standing firm.

The crenellations on the city walls were neat, and the battlements connected, resembling a giant dragon coiling upon the land. A moat surrounded the city walls, its waters deep and wide, forming a natural barrier against foreign invasion.

The main gate of the city was imposing, made of intricately carved blue stone.

Carved atop the gatehouse were exquisite patterns of dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing the majesty and authority of the royal family.

On either side of the city gate stood two tall stone lions, with a fierce demeanor, guarding the ancient city.

Inside Flourishing Prefecture, it was bustling and lively, with wide and clean streets flanked by rows of shops, their wares attracting merchants from all over.

The constant calls of vendors filled the air, leaving Xu Fan dazzled, for she had been unconscious since entering the Kunlun Mountains Minor World and had never seen this world.

Xu Fan smiled and looked at Xu Wendong, ”Say, if they shot a period drama here, wouldn’t they save a lot on expenses?”

Xu Wendong was taken aback for a moment and then gave a bitter smile, ”Sis, the production costs of period dramas aren’t that high to begin with!”

”However, if they were shooting a fantasy Xianxia drama, it indeed could save a lot on post-production special effects.”

Xu Fan chuckled, ”I plan on giving it a try.”

”Huh?” Xu Wendong looked bewildered.

Xu Fan shrugged her fragrant shoulders, casually saying, ”I have a dream of creating our country’s own superhero!”

”To guard against Western cultural invasion.”

”Especially Ultraman from Wa Country, I despise it the most.”

”It’s clear that our country has a long cultural history, yet we can’t resist the invasion of Western culture?”

”Actually, be it Ultraman or Barbie Princess, or Marvel characters, they first gained a large fanbase through films and TV.”

”Although our country has numerous Xianxia novel-based films and TV, the plot, costumes, and post-production effects are less than ideal.”

”Most revolve around the emotions between the male and female leads as the main storyline.”

”But.”

”The true Cultivation Realm is not as portrayed in the films.”

”Here, there is no love.”

”No.”

”To be precise, compared to survival, love is insignificant.”

”Yes, our country needs its own superheroes!”

Xu Wendong murmured affirmatively, feeling that Xu Fan’s words made a lot of sense, then said, ”Your dad and their deeds could definitely be made into a film. To be honest, they are actually the superheroes in my heart!”

Xu Fan beamed, ”When I get back, I’ll delve into it and strive to produce a film based on my father and their experiences.”

Xu Wendong didn’t say much more, seeing Xu Fan finally had something she wanted to do, he decided to support her wishes entirely.

After all.

He had promised Xu Canghai to protect Xu Fan and let her live a carefree life.

Suddenly.

Xu Wendong stopped in his tracks, looking around bewilderedly, ”Why isn’t Little Aunt here?”

No sooner had he spoken than Si Youyou appeared beside him like a specter, saying, ”Come with me, I’ve tracked down the Luo Clan’s domain.”

At these words.

Xu Wendong’s previously relaxed mood tightened instantly, even finding it difficult to breathe.

Xu Fan instinctively grabbed Xu Wendong’s hand, whispering, ”Don’t be nervous, you still have us.”

Xu Wendong forced a smile.

He didn’t want to be nervous, but he simply couldn’t control his emotions.

Despite this.

He still followed Si Youyou onto a quieter street.

Si Youyou spoke as she walked, ”I’ve done some probing; the Luo Clan is one of the four major families of Nanyang City, their main industries being pawnshops, dyehouses, and inns.”

”Their family revenue ranks first among the four major families, and within the clan sits a master at the Foundation Establishment Peak.”

The Foundation Establishment Peak is among the lowest in the Cultivation Realm, but in the secular world, it can govern a family.

During their conversation.

The three arrived in front of a grand and imposing ancient residence, its plaque clearly displaying the words ”Luo Residence.”

Upon seeing the Luo Family plaque, Xu Wendong clearly felt waves of indescribable sensibility emanating from within the Luo Family Mansion.

This brought tears to his eyes.

Because he knew, it was their shared blood invoking this call!
