Chapter 705 Be cautious
Feng Jiayun said with a firm gaze:

"Yunxi, I will not change my mind. The reason I am willing to compromise again and again is not only because I am not strong enough to resist, but also because I have something to ask for. I hope to see you again one day and know if you are well."

I, Feng Jiayun, owe no one anything, except you. Because of my carelessness, I left you, who was not yet five years old, with Wei Lingyue. I know he doesn't like me; he has never even held you since you were born.

If I were gone, he wouldn't care about you at all. Fortunately, the Feng family remembered my sacrifice, and Ancestor Feng and Emperor Jiaqing protected you and helped you through the most difficult period. From now on, I only want to stay by your side.

Yunxi was quite satisfied with Feng Jiayun's words; at least for now, she seemed to be a sensible mother. She nodded and said:

“I understand, daughter. Leave the rest to me. Let me check your pulse first, I’m afraid the Su family might do something to you.”

Yunxi spoke very frankly, and she did indeed have this concern. Feng Jiayun was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which was far inferior to Su Jing's. Moreover, as the mother who conceived Su Zisheng, she must have suffered some losses, and she didn't know if she had taken good care of her body over the years.

After hearing this, Feng Jiayun obediently extended her wrist. If she didn't even trust her own daughter, who else could she trust?

Yunxi gently placed her hand on Feng Jiayun's wrist, then looked up and smiled, saying:

"Mother, don't worry, relax, and don't resist my spiritual power."

"it is good."

Feng Jiayun gently exhaled a breath of stale air, letting down all her guard. But when she looked at Yunxi again, she was instantly pulled into a dream by Xiaomeng.

Yunxi's spiritual energy instantly entered Feng Jiayun's body, examining her meridians, dantian, and sea of ​​consciousness to confirm that the Su family had not tampered with anything before withdrawing her spiritual energy.

Under Xiaomeng's guidance, Feng Jiayun, who had fallen into a dream, was reliving her experiences in the spirit world over the years.

It wasn't that Yunxi didn't trust Feng Jiayun; it was just that the mother and daughter had been separated for too long. She never tested human nature. Since she wanted to maintain the mother-daughter bond, she at least had to be sure that her efforts were meaningful.

Xiao Meng has always been attached to Yun Xi's forehead as a forehead ornament. She will not take human form unless necessary. This time, she was instructed by Yun Xi to pull Feng Jiayun into a dream when she was relaxed, and at the same time share the things Feng Jiayun experienced in the dream with her master.

While stroking Lili, Yunxi read through Feng Jiayun's experiences over the years. The events basically matched Feng Jiayun's account, except for one point she didn't mention: after giving birth to Su Zisheng, she was effectively placed under house arrest. Even if she were allowed to leave, she probably wouldn't be able to.

It's unclear whether the Su family felt that Feng Jiayun wouldn't escape their control, or that they thought she, as their daughter, was incapable of taking her mother away from the Su family, or perhaps they disdained to engage in such underhanded tactics. Therefore, they didn't take any further action against Feng Jiayun, thus saving her the trouble.

If the Su family really does that, then don't blame her for being impolite. As long as they want her to remove the evil seed from Shengxia, she will have the opportunity to do something underhanded. Not only will the Su brothers not know, but even Shengxia herself won't be aware of it. She admits that her poison skills are superior to her medical skills.

After an incense stick had burned, Xiao Meng withdrew her supernatural powers. Yun Xi said to Feng Jiayun, who was momentarily dazed:
“Mother, your body is temporarily fine. Although the damage to your foundation hasn't fully healed, it won't affect your cultivation for now. However, it will be difficult to make further breakthroughs. In addition, you gave birth to Su Zisheng, and your cultivation level dropped before, so the damage to your body hasn't been fully recovered. That's why you think you've entered a bottleneck period.” Feng Jiayun withdrew her wrist and said with a self-deprecating smile:

“I had actually suspected it for a long time, but I didn’t say it out loud. I didn’t even think about going to find Su Jing. I even felt that it was his hint.”

Yunxi patted Feng Jiayun's hand and said:
"Mother, don't worry! These are minor issues. Your daughter is an eighth-grade alchemist, and I will help you break through your limitations. You can stay by my side with peace of mind."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and placed some bottles and jars on the stone table. He explained how to use them one by one and urged Feng Jiayun to take the pills and meditate to refine them so that she could adjust her body to the best condition as soon as possible.

Feng Jiayun smiled slightly, the smile reaching her eyes. She knew that her daughter wanted to discuss her future with the Su brothers, so she readily agreed and entered the cultivation room. She took the pills to replenish her foundation, then closed her eyes and began to meditate, refining the medicinal properties.

Yunxi left a bathtub in the cultivation room so her mother could take a medicinal bath to remove impurities from her body. Only then did she remove the restrictions on the cultivation room and send a message talisman to Su Jing.

The Su brothers were in the council hall of Yingke Peak when they received Yunxi's message. They exchanged a glance and then went to the guest courtyard they had visited before.

Yunxi opened the barrier to let the two in, but did not invite them into the reception room. Instead, she entertained them under the tree in the courtyard.

Su Jing, worried that Sheng Xia's body wouldn't hold up for long, spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, now that you have met your mother, you should know that I have never mistreated her. I even repaired her injured foundation and helped her break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing the other party's opening remarks, Yunxi scoffed and interrupted:

"Fellow Daoist Su, stop flattering yourself. Aren't all of this based on the fact that my mother conceived your child? And because my mother is a cultivator from the lower realm, she has no foundation, no family to rely on, and no sect to depend on. Is it so that your lover can make room for her after she wakes up?"
It's just a one-sided transaction, why pretend to be so noble? It disgusts me.

"Your brother is no better. He knows my mother didn't choose this path; she was only forced into becoming your nominal partner. Yet, he defends his beloved, believing my mother usurped Shengxia's place and slanders her at every turn. Don't you know that if you had even a shred of respect for my mother, why didn't you stop him?"

Su Jing was speechless after being rebuked, but he couldn't just walk away forcefully. He knew very well that they were now in need of Ran Xi's help.

Su Miao, whose thoughts had been exposed, immediately said with displeasure:
“Don’t talk nonsense. Sheng Xia and I are as close as siblings. Besides, Sheng Xia did not perish. Feng Jiayun did take her place, and she even gave birth to Su Zisheng. My brother has been good enough to her. If it weren’t for this child, with her cultivation and background, it would have been even more difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Su family.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's expression grew even colder, and she raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Tsk tsk, my mother couldn't even touch the hem of your brother's clothes, so how could she have practiced dual cultivation with him? Besides, that child was originally your brother's and Shengxia's child. It was only because she was implanted with an evil seed that she had to make me, her helpless mother, the vessel for the child's birth in order to protect the child. Didn't your brother tell you all this?"
