Late at night, the lights under the Parthenon gradually extinguished. In this season, at this time of the day, there would always be a clear and cold moon hanging in the sky above the Goddess Peak. The moonlight shrouded the entire Goddess Peak like a silver veil, making the already elegant Goddess Peak even more ethereal.
At the foot of the mountain, behind a small hill, there was an extremely simple wooden hut near a mountain stream. A man in pure white robes sat on the wooden roof. He gazed at the hazy moonlight of the Goddess Peak as his face was filled with melancholy.
"Da da da ~ ~ ~ ~"
A few light footsteps came from the small path in the forest. The white-clothed man on the roof stared at the path they came from. His gray-blue eyes were especially bright in the night.
"What are you doing here?" questioned the white-clothed man.
"Can't I come to visit you? No matter what, you're still my brother …" said the woman who came over.
"Just say what you want," said the man.
"Have you seen her, Norman?" asked Asha'ria.
"Who?" said Norman.
"You already know the answer. Her identity has already been revealed. I believe you've come back this time to see this sister you've never met, right?" said Asha'ria.
"Of course I'll see her if I want to see her. You don't have to come all the way here to tell me this," said Norman impatiently.
"Why do you look so disappointed when you see me? We haven't seen each other for many years. Back then, we were adopted by foster father together. We were like a family …" said Asha'ria.
"You know what you've done," harrumphed Norman.
"I also need to survive in this treacherous place. When I needed you to stand out and protect me, you were constantly depressed all over the world. What do you expect me to do? Stick to what you and Godfather taught me. If I did that, I would have been eaten until not even my bones were left." Asha 'ruiya's voice rose a few octaves, and her eyes turned cold.
Norman was stunned for a moment. He looked at Asha'ria, who had stopped in her tracks.
"You shouldn't have stepped into … forget it, even if I told you that, you wouldn't have left," Norman shook his head. He did not dwell on the topic any further.
"So are you going to make your stand clear now that you've come back?" asked Asha'ria.
"I don't know," said Norman.
"You should know that you are the only person that the Hall of Knights truly trusts. Izisha has tried everything she could to find you, and I believe she will do everything she can to convince you that she can bring the Parthenon Temple back to its former glory …" Asha 'ruiya said.
"She did try to find me, but … she gave me a strange feeling," said Norman.
"Hehe, it's hard to tell if she's a human or a demon. She clearly didn't know how to resurrect, but she woke up from her coffin … "Asha 'ruiya said.
"The Parthenon Temple feels strange to me. I don't think I belong here anymore." Norman glanced at the Mountain of the Goddess. His mind was filled with the past. He had suffered too much pain and sorrow here. Countless corpses had been buried under the glory of the Parthenon Temple. The supreme power, the prestige that spread across the world, the endless wealth, and the Spell of Parthenon Temple that the Gods had granted them!
"I hope you'll stand on my side," said Asha'ria.
"Do you think that's possible? Ask yourself, if father knew what you've done, would he still acknowledge you as his daughter? "said Norman.
"You won't side with Iza, nor are you willing to stand on my side. You only have one choice …" said Asha'ria.
"I won't make a decision before I see her. You should go back and rest if there's nothing else. You can call me brother again when you've given up on the other side of you," said Norman.
"I won't give it up. It can protect me better than any of you," said Asha'ria.
"I can't talk to you anymore if you're so stubborn," Norman rose to his feet and went back to his hut.
Asha'ria bit her lips as she looked at Norman's back.
A moment later, Asha'ria added, "I've gone to see Austin. I don't think he recognizes me. "
"You've found Austin?" Norman halted in his tracks and looked at Asha'ria in astonishment.
"Before this, I should be the only one in the world who knew his location and existence, but now someone knows where he is. They're preparing a Dragon-Hunting Ritual for him," said Asha'ria.
Norman frowned. He stared at Asha'ria to make sure she was not lying to him.
"Who is it?" asked Norman.
"A politician with a strong background and countless experts. Even Iza doesn't dare to mess with him," said Asha'ria.
"Austin is so powerful. Even Iza can't do anything to him," said Norman.
"So they've found a way to weaken him. Dragons have weaknesses too," said Asha'ria.
Norman fell into deep thought.
"They're planning to do it in a few days … If you want to do something, you should prepare as soon as possible. Look, as a brother, you don't care about relationships at all. You only respect your father. Meanwhile, I've been living on my own since the beginning of university. I can't help but come over to remind you when I encounter something that has nothing to do with me, "said Asha'ria with a hint of sarcasm.
Norman still wanted to say something, but Asha'ria had already turned and left.

…
Mofan sat on the sofa and meditated with his eyes closed.
At this moment, he heard the sound of a stool being pushed away from the room next door. Mofan's eyes immediately opened.
Although he said he was meditating, he was not really that focused. Now that his cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck, it was the same whether he was cultivating or not. It was very difficult for him to have any motivation.
Mofan hurriedly walked to the balcony. His body turned into a black shadow and escaped to the balcony next door.
The window was open and the curtains were fluttering. Mofan saw Mu Ningxue standing by the table and stretching her body. The beautiful and seductive curves made Mofan drool. He did not see enough during dinner, and there were many people. Mofan could not be too thick-skinned. Now that it was late at night and there were only the two of them in the house, he could be even more unscrupulous.
"Are you done?" Mofan walked over and asked.
"Just finished a part of it." Mu Ningxue replied. Mu Ningxue found that Mofan's eyes were burning. She did not need to think to know what kind of perverted thoughts were in this guy's head. In order to prevent Mofan from making the first move, Mu Ningxue said, "Let's go out for a walk."
"So late?" Mofan raised his eyebrows.
Yes, it was already the middle of the night. How could they go out for a walk? Since everyone was so young and vigorous, they should not waste their time. They should do it a few more times before dawn …
…
In the end, Mofan accompanied Mu Ningxue outside for a walk.
The living environment here was very good. Late at night, the clean streets and the trees on both sides gave people a feeling of extraordinarily tranquility.
Mofan took the initiative to hold Mu Ningxue's hand. Mu Ningxue did not reject him, either. Mofan purposely slowed down to match her elegant pace. When they were crossing a bridge, Mu Ningxue signaled him to stop and enjoy the breeze.
"Can't you just let Mu Linsheng handle the business dealings of Fanxue Mountain? Why did you come all the way to Athens?" Mofan asked.
Mu Ningxue might be in charge of Fanxue Mountain, but the truth was, she spent most of her time cultivating. Her pursuit of magic was the same as Mofan's. She was obsessed with it, and as the owner of Fanxue Mountain, how could she possibly survive in the midst of a pack of tigers and wolves without absolute strength?
The two things that Mu Ningxue mentioned at the dinner table were not enough for her to come all the way here in person. Mofan did not ask her about it, either.
"Is there something else?" Mofan asked.
Mu Ningxue lifted her head slightly and looked at Mofan. She was quite surprised that Mofan could tell that she had something else on her mind.
"Mm, there's indeed something that's been bothering me … so I had no choice but to come here and verify it," Mu Ningxue said.
"Is it serious?" Mofan asked.
"Do you remember what happened when we first came to Feiniao City?" Mu Ningxue said sternly.
"I do, a bunch of Scarlet Demons showed up. Didn't we get rid of them in the end?" Mofan said.
"Jiang Yu went to investigate the local officials. Someone purposely hid the truth about the missing babies, which led to the tragedy," Mu Ningxue said.
As soon as Mu Ningxue mentioned it, Mofan quickly recalled the scene that made his hair stand on end and his hair stand on end. The two babies that were taken out from the stomachs of the Scarlet Demons …
"Mm, we didn't find anything after that," Mofan nodded.
Jiang Yu did mention that when they investigated further, they realized that the culprit was not just hiding the truth on purpose. They might be able to uncover a series of complicated problems, but all the clues were cut off when they reached the official who was hiding the truth. It was difficult to find the culprit …
"When Shao Yu was patrolling the seaside, someone reported something similar to this to her. After Shao Yu's secret investigation, she discovered a series of temporary storage units related to the missing babies. Although there were no longer any missing babies in the units, there were quite a lot of baby products inside. I contacted Jiang Yu and asked him to help me track down the missing babies, "Mu Ningxue said.
Fanxue Mountain was very close to Feiniao City. The case of the missing babies did not have any further clues. To Mofan's surprise, Mu Ningxue had found some new clues.
No one would be able to tolerate such an outrageous act. Mofan clenched his fists and said, "I see. Don't worry, I'll find the culprit. I'll break his neck!"
"I seriously don't know what kind of people would do something so cruel!" Mu Ningxue's body began to tremble.
"What's wrong?" Mofan looked at Mu Ningxue and noticed that Mu Ningxue was panicking.
