Shen Chuwei looked at him with hopeful eyes, "Let’s chat, shall we?"

Jun Moqing: "Okay."

Shen Chuwei’s eyes curved into a smile.

Jun Moqing, holding a drawing board, led his daughter into the study room.

Xiao Jinyan and Jun Wuxian followed, but got stopped at the door.

"You, are not allowed in."

After saying that, Jun Moqing closed the door.

Xue Huai stood guarding the entrance.

Xiao Jinyan and Jun Wuxian exchanged glances. Since Jun Moqing had forbidden their entry, they naturally didn’t dare to barge in.

However, both guessed that the chat between little Jiuyou and Jun Moqing must have something to do with her origins.

Inside the study room

Jun Moqing and Shen Chuwei were seated at the table, which was laid out with tea and pastries.

Only the two of them were in the study room, so quiet one could hear their own nervous heartbeats.

Shen Chuwei picked up the teapot and poured a cup for the National Master, and then one for herself.

Jun Moqing lifted the tea cup to his lips and took a couple of sips, his gaze resting on his daughter, "What would you like to talk about?"

Shen Chuwei sipped her tea to ease her nervousness and, after a few sips, she slowly began, "I originally thought I was not your daughter."

Jun Moqing looked at her calmly, "Why would you think that?"

"For many reasons," Shen Chuwei took another two sips of tea, then continued, "Actually, even now, I am not sure if I am your daughter."

Jun Moqing, curious about her thoughts, said, "Let’s hear them."

Shen Chuwei shared her initial thoughts and reasons with the National Master.

After finishing, she asked, "Doesn’t it seem complicated?"

Jun Moqing shook his head, "It does not seem complicated to me. Did you think at first that you were impersonating Jiuyou?"

Shen Chuwei nodded shyly, a bit embarrassed, "At first, I didn’t intend to impersonate Feng Wuyou.

It was the Emperor who said I was Feng Wuyou and had me stay at the palace.

Later, when he said the National Master would come to the capital city, since I needed to find you, I just went along with the Emperor’s words and continued acting as Princess Jiuyou. "

Jun Moqing didn’t need to ask to know that Ye Haoting thought she was Jiuyou, not just because of her face but also because of the colored feathers, the tiger-lion creature, and Xuetuan.

"So what was your reasoning for seeking me out in the beginning?"

"Xiao Jinyan lost his memory, right? I heard the National Master is super powerful and must have a way to help him regain his memory, so I thought to find you," Shen Chuwei hadn’t forgotten to sprinkle some flattery.

"I see," Jun Moqing sipped his tea thoughtfully, then said softly, "But it’s normal for you to have such thoughts. Traveling from the modern era to ancient times, and through soul transmigration at that, naturally, you wouldn’t think you were originally from here. Plus, with your amnesia and ten years of modern knowledge and ideas, it’s not like there is a paternity test to easily prove the father-daughter relationship. "

"Exactly, so with Xiao Jinyan and the others saying I am Feng Wuyou, I couldn’t just reveal the time-traveling matter."

After explaining, Shen Chuwei leaned forward with a curious face, "Then how did you recognize me as your daughter just by looking? Even more accurate than a paternity test? And how do you know about modern knowledge?"

Jun Moqing explained, "Our Spaces are connected, so I knew when I stepped into Wuyou Palace. And your facial features... faces reflect one’s heart. You’ve been back for several years now, so it shows on your face as well."

Shen Chuwei, shocked and curious, grabbed Jun Moqing’s arm, pressing for more, "How are our Spaces connected?"

Jun Moqing: "Your Space was a gift from me; I can feel it while you cannot. It’s like the main machine and a sub-machine."

"It can be like that?" When Shen Chuwei discovered she had a Space, she thought she was born with a golden finger—awesomely powerful.

Turns out, it was because she had an awesome dad!

Too awesome.

Full of anticipation, Shen Chuwei asked, "Does that mean you could travel to the modern era?"

Jun Moqing shook his head, "No, I cannot."

Shen Chuwei, puzzled, asked, "Why not?"

"After you disappeared, I broke the rules and cast a divination for you. It showed that you were facing a mortal crisis, but the omens indicated there was a solution: to survive a desperate situation and come back to life. The moment you soul traveled was like going through life and death, breaking the lethal crisis. Had I been able to travel to the modern era, I wouldn’t have let you be there alone. "

Jun Moqing spoke slowly, as a father, how could he not search for his daughter who was suddenly missing?

However, knowing that his daughter was in another place and not being able to be there with her, thinking of how she was raised in comfort, going to a strange land, meeting unknown people... Would someone bully her?
