Ming Yu didn't believe that there was no one in the entire Northern Border City. After staying in the mansion for a day, she wanted to go out.
Before she could ask Ye Zhen, the white tiger's excited voice came from outside. "Young Emperor is back!"
Ye Zhen froze for a moment before realizing that the white tiger was talking about Mo Rongzhan.
"Mother, does Father remember us?" Ming Yu's face lit up, but it quickly turned into worry. What if Father forgot about them?
"Of course." Ye Zhen laughed. "How could he forget us?"
Ming Yu smiled and looked up to see Mo Rongzhan's figure appear by the door.
"Father!" Ming Yu saw Mo Rongzhan and ran forward happily. "You're back."
"Yes, I'm back." A faint smile appeared on Mo Rongzhan's face. He already knew that Ming Yu was captured in the Nine Heavens, so he was relieved to see her return safely.
Ming Yu held Mo Rongzhan's hand and looked at him seriously. She found that her father didn't seem to have changed much.
"I thought it would be a while before you came back," Ye Zhen said. She didn't expect Mo Rongzhan to come back so soon. She thought it would be a while longer.
"I heard that Ming Yu was captured, so I came back earlier." Mo Rongzhan looked at Ming Yu. He already knew who was on the small island. It was the flood dragon he met in the Xuantian Continent, and now it was in the human continent.
"Father, I'm fine," Ming Yu said happily.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and nodded. "You were fine in the capital. Why did you go out to sea?"
"I missed you," Ming Yu said softly.
Ye Zhen looked at the father and daughter talking intimately. She was still worried that Mo Rongzhan would be unhappy if he knew that Wen Tian went to save Ming Yu.
Although he didn't say it, he probably didn't want her to have too much to do with Wen Tian.
"Father, are you going to attack the Heaven Castle this time?" Ming Yu asked curiously.
She heard from the white tiger that her father used to attack the Heaven Castle with the Nine Heavens' divine weapons. If it wasn't for her mother stopping him, he and Wen Tian would have fought to the death.
"No," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. "The Grand Emperor has no plans to attack the heavenly castle."
Up until he left the nine heavens, the Grand Emperor didn't give the order to attack the celestial castle. Before he knew that Lu Wushuang had unlocked the seal on the flood dragon, he couldn't understand why the Grand Emperor would do that. Now, he understood.
Mo Rongzhan walked over to Ye Zhen, took her hand and squeezed it gently, as if to comfort her. "Lu Wushuang wants to encourage those beasts to attack the Heavenly Citadel so that Jiutian can reap the benefits."
"Too despicable!" Ye Zhen couldn't help but curse.
It was indeed despicable and shameless! Although Nine Heavens was a divine race, the way they did things did not seem very open and aboveboard.
"The Grand Emperor let you off just like that?" Although Ye Zhen didn't meet the Grand Emperor many times, she understood him. Although he didn't attack the heavenly castle, he wouldn't let Mo Rongzhan off so easily.
"No, I wanted Heaven Sealing Sect to keep me in the Nine Skies. The Queen Mother appeared in time and let me leave." Mo Rongzhan said softly. "He wanted me to kill Wen Tian but I rejected."
Ye Zhen looked at him strangely.
Mo Rongzhan laughed at her suspicious gaze. "What's wrong?"
Did she really think that he couldn't wait to kill Wen Tian?
"I thought …" Ye Zhen muttered softly, thinking that he wanted to attack the Heavenly Citadel.
"Some things were forced to do in the past, but it's no longer like it was 10,000 years ago." Mo Rongzhan said softly, "However, even if I don't attack the Heavenly Citadel, it doesn't mean that the Grand Emperor will let them off."
Ye Zhen asked, "What should we do next?"
"We don't have to do anything. Just help Mingxi find the dragon race," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. Although he didn't attack the Heavenly Citadel, it didn't mean that he would help Wen Tian.
The grudge between him and Wen Tian wasn't something that could be resolved in 10,000 years.
"Young Emperor!" Po Shi appeared outside the courtyard, sounding a little anxious.
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and asked. If nothing had happened, the god general wouldn't have come here to find him.
Po Shi said, "The flood dragon went to find Wen Tian. He's in the Heavenly Citadel now."
Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen looked at each other. "I got it."
"Young Emperor, then …" Po Shi wanted to say something but stopped. Was there really no need to find out what they were talking about?
"No matter, you may leave." Mo Rongzhan sent Po Shi away.
"Two days ago, Wen Tian went to the small island and brought Ming Yu back. He met the flood dragon, but they didn't fight. What's the meaning of the flood dragon going to the Heavenly Citadel now?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. It couldn't be to find Wen Tian for a duel, right?
"Lu Wushuang should have returned to the Nine Heavens," Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Ye Zhen said, "The Grand Emperor wants the flood dragon to deal with Wen Tian. What if the flood dragon and Wen Tian join forces?"
Mo Rongzhan tapped the tip of her nose. "The flood dragon and flying serpent can both become true dragons. Since ancient times, they have been mortal enemies. The Grand Emperor knows that they can't work together, so he released the flood dragon."
Even if they worked together for immediate benefits, they would still become enemies in the end.
"So, we don't have to worry?" Ye Zhen asked.
"No need," Mo Rongzhan said.
When Ye Zhen heard that, she put the matter aside.
She looked down at the curious Ming Yu and remembered that she could absorb spirit power. "Oh yes, Ah Zhan, there's one more thing … Ming Yu seems to be able to absorb other people's spirit power."
"What do you mean?" Mo Rongzhan was stunned. He didn't understand what Ye Zhen meant.
Ye Zhen then told him about how Ming Yu absorbed Lu Wushuang's spirit power on the small island. "… White tiger tried it too, but Ming Yu couldn't control her ability at all. She didn't know when she started absorbing other people's spirit power."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes flashed with astonishment. He walked over to hold Ming Yu's hand, but there was no movement. Ming Yu didn't absorb his spirit power.
"What's going on?" Mo Rongzhan didn't feel that Ming Yu had a sea of qi. She was no different from a mortal.
"Father, my palm isn't hot now," Ming Yu said. Actually, after hearing what white tiger said, she seriously researched why she could absorb spirit power.
She still couldn't figure it out.
She only remembered that day when she was about to be strangled to death by Lu Wushuang, her palm suddenly felt hot, as though there was a warm current flowing into it. But she didn't feel anything wrong after that.
Mo Rongzhan held her hands. "When you absorbed Lu Wushuang's spirit power, your palm was hot?"
Ming Yu nodded.
"Ah Zhan, do you know why?" Ye Zhen asked worriedly, afraid that this ability would affect Ming Yu.
It might have something to do with the Dragon Slaying Clan!
Mo Rongzhan shook his head gently. Before he got the right answer, he didn't want to tell Ye Zhen. "Perhaps, the Queen Mother will know."
Ye Zhen caressed Ming Yu's head. "I'm worried that … it might affect her."
"You don't have to worry about that. Look, isn't she fine?" Mo Rongzhan consoled Ye Zhen. He felt that this might not be a bad thing.
