"Are you going to stay?"
Mo Wen looked at Qin Xiaoyou in surprise. After staying at home for half a month, it was almost time for him to go back. There were still many things outside that he had yet to settle. For him, the path of Immortal Cultivation was the most important thing. It concerned everyone's fate, so he couldn't possibly stay at home all the time.
What he did not expect was that Qin Xiaoyou was actually prepared to stay.
Qin Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. "Mother is alone at home. It's so cold and cheerless. If I don't stay to accompany her, who will?"
During this period of time, Qin Xiaoyou had changed the way she addressed her mother. Mo Wen's mother had obviously accepted her as her daughter-in-law.
Upon hearing that, an indescribable emotion welled up in Mo Wen's heart. He looked deeply at Qin Xiaoyou and said softly, "Xiaoyou, it's been hard on you."
In the past few days, Mo Wen had seen Xiaoyou's performance.
"It's our family's business. What's there to worry about? Alright, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll stay here to accompany my mother for a while. I've already finished the curriculum for the second half of the year. I'll apply for a long leave from the school later. You should come home more often when you're free. I feel that if you can accompany my mother, she'll definitely be happier. "
She had also decided to stay behind at the last minute because she realized that if they all left, Mo Wen's mother would be the only one left in the house. The huge yard would be empty, and her mother's character was one that did not like to get too close to the neighbors. She would definitely feel very lonely at home by herself. Mo Wen smiled.
"Yes, I will come back often."
Mo Wen nodded his head. His eyes suddenly felt a little sore, but he had to leave. A comfortable environment would not allow him to grow.
"Is Little Shitou ready to leave?"
Mo Wen's mother walked out of the house. She seemed to have heard the conversation between Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyou.
"Mother, I must go." Mo Wen took a deep breath. For the sake of his future, he had to go.
"Mm, it's good for a boy to explore the world. You may leave." It was rare that Mo Wen's mother did not urge him to stay. She only nodded slightly.
The little fox, Xiang 'er, ran back with a whoosh. She seemed to know that Mo Wen was about to leave. She wriggled around in his arms, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Xiang 'er, be good. I'll come back to see you soon."
Mo Wen patted Xiang 'er's head and placed her on the stone table. He turned around and strode out of the door. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't have the courage to leave.
"Mother, I'll stay behind to accompany you. You won't mind, right?"
Qin Xiaoyou walked over to Mo Wen's mother. As a woman, she could sense that Mo Wen's mother appeared indifferent on the surface, but deep down, she could not bear to part with him.
"How could I dislike her? She's such a good daughter-in-law. I can't wait to like her."
Mo Wen's mother looked at Qin Xiaoyou with an exceptionally warm gaze. After half a month of getting along, she was increasingly satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers.
The little fox ran out of the house. She stood on a rock and looked at Mo Wen's silhouette all the way until his silhouette completely disappeared. Only then did she silently return home.
"Xiaoyou, are you practicing ancient martial arts?"
Mo Wen's mother pulled Qin Xiaoyou's hand, walked to the side, and sat down.
"Mother, how did you know?"
Qin Xiaoyou looked at Mo Wen's mother in shock. Mo Wen had reminded her before that Mo Wen's mother did not know that they were practicing martial arts and that she should be more careful. Don't scare your mother.
Mo Wen had just left and Mo Wen's mother was already talking about ancient martial arts. Could it be that Mo Wen had told her about it?
"Mother knows a lot more."
Mo Wen's mother smiled. Then, she changed the topic. "However, you are not suitable to practice ancient martial arts."
"Mother, I'm just practicing randomly. I can't compare to Mo Wen." Qin Xiaoyou smiled awkwardly.
"You're so talented, how can you cultivate recklessly? If you practice like this, you will never catch up to Little Stone. Tell me, don't you want to catch up to Little Stone? Or even surpass him, "Mo Wen's mother said with a smile.
"Oh, that's just a thought. Xiaoyou also knows that this dream will most likely never come true."
Qin Xiaoyou's face grew redder and redder. She had always hidden this in her heart. Even Mo Wen did not know what she was thinking. How did her mother know?
"Mother knows that you are very competitive. Who says that my Xiaoyou can't catch up to Little Stone? As long as you find the right master, surpassing Little Stone will be a piece of cake."
Mo Wen's mother looked as if she had high hopes for her.
"Oh, Xiaoyou will work hard. I won't disappoint you …" Qin Xiaoyou laughed foolishly. She felt helpless. How did her mother know about this? It was really strange. But when she thought about surpassing Mo Wen, she could only laugh foolishly. There was no other expression on her face.
"Silly girl, I have already said so. You still don't believe me? Don't learn ancient martial arts. Follow me and practice immortality. Surpassing Little Stone is just around the corner. "
Mo Wen's mother finally revealed her motive. With Xiaoyou's immortal physique, not practicing immortality was practically going against the law of the Heavenly Path. Or rather, Xiaoyou was born to practice immortality. There was no one more suitable than her in the world.
Practice ancient martial arts? That was practically a joke.
"Ah!" Qin Xiaoyou stared at Mo Wen's mother, dumbfounded. She had not expected Mo Wen's mother to say such a thing.
"Why? You don't believe me?"
Mo Wen's mother smiled and pointed forward. A shocking scene appeared before Xiaoyou's eyes. The flowers, grass, and trees in the courtyard bloomed and withered, and the cycle of life and death changed. The four seasons changed constantly in the courtyard. Spring passed and autumn came. It was as if time had sped up tens of thousands of times in her eyes.
What ability was this? Practicing ancient martial arts did not have such an ability.
"Little girl, go out and take a look."
Mo Wen's mother smiled and waved her hand. Qin Xiaoyou disappeared from her spot and instantly appeared outside the door.
"How is this possible?"
Qin Xiaoyou stood outside the door. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. The cold wind howled and her clothes fluttered. The cold was bone-chilling. She realized that she was standing on the peak of a mountain. She was surrounded by a sea of clouds and there were peaks everywhere. However, the peak she was on was the highest one. She did not know how high it was.
The villages, farmlands, forests, orchards that she had seen before had all disappeared.
On the peak of the mountain, only Mo Wen's residence stood alone in the cold wind, enduring the impact of the strong wind.
"The homes that you saw before were all illusions of the mirage illusion. Those villages and villagers are all illusions. However, the mirage illusion is no different from the real world. Everything in it operates according to the law of the Heavenly Path. The Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, Auntie Chen that you know … They can exist or not exist. "
A figure walked out of the courtyard. Her clothes fluttered in the wind. She was so beautiful that she could cause the downfall of nations. She stood in the wind like a fairy that resided deep in the heavenly palace. The moment this woman appeared, the mountain peak was filled with a delicate fragrance. No matter how strong the cold wind was, it could not be dispersed.
"It's you!"
Qin Xiaoyou looked at the absolute beauty. She recognized at a glance that it was the mysterious woman that she had met in the lake previously.
"My name is Mo Xiang 'er. You can call me Elder Sister Xiang' er." Mo Xiang 'er smiled sweetly. The heavens and the earth fell silent. (To be continued.)
