Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

After Yu Luoning and the other two left, Mo Fei quickly helped Mo Yuntian back to his inner chamber.

Although Mo Yuntian had regained consciousness, his soul had been eroded by that foreign cultivator for a long time, and his face was still somewhat haggard and pale.

Mo Fei looked at his grandfather, who had aged considerably, and his eyes reddened.

He could see everything that happened in his mind clearly through the Mind-Observation Mirror.

That cozy little courtyard, my childhood self, and my grandfather's unwavering belief.

It turns out that Grandpa had never been able to let go of it.

He was his only close relative, yet he always caused his grandfather worry; he deserved to die.

"Don't be afraid, my dear grandson, Grandpa is still alive!" Mo Yuntian comforted him with a smile.

Mo Fei wiped his eyes hard, and a trace of childishness disappeared from his eyes.

"Grandpa, I want to become stronger."

Mo Yuntian was taken aback.

Mo Fei clenched his fists, subtly straightened his back, and continued, "If Sister Ning and the others hadn't arrived in time today, I would have been forced to watch helplessly as you were possessed, unable to do anything. That feeling was unbearable."

"I used to think that if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up, and if I encountered danger, my grandfather would always be there to support me..."

"But relying on others can't last. I... want to become stronger."

Mo Fei raised his head, his eyes showing an unprecedented seriousness, and continued:

"I also want to grow up so that at least next time something like this happens, I can handle it myself, become my own support, and protect myself and the people I love."

Mo Yuntian stared at him quietly for a while, then slowly reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Good boy, that's ambitious. You're finally growing up and taking responsibility. Grandpa is very pleased to hear you say that."

"It's good that you have this awareness, but you must remember that you are still young, and it's not shameful to lack cultivation. What's truly shameful is knowing that you are weak, yet spending your whole life comfortably hiding behind others and enjoying the protection of the strong."

Mo Fei nodded solemnly, "Grandson will remember."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression became somewhat hesitant.

"Oh, right, Grandpa, there's something else I've never told you."

Mo Fei hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Grandpa, do you still remember when the Northern Sword Alliance besieged the Feng family?"

Mo Yuntian nodded.

"I remember you said that you went to the Feng family with Feishuang and a few friends to provide support, and you also sent back important information about the Northern Sword Alliance."

Mo Feiqian chuckled twice. "Actually... I kept something from you back then."

"Feng Qiguang of the Feng family also possesses the bloodline of the phoenix."

Mo Yuntian's expression changed. "What did you say?"

The smile on his face vanished instantly, and he immediately raised his hand to erect a spiritual light soundproof shield.

"Before discussing important matters in the future, even at home, be cautious and prudent."

Mo Fei's expression turned serious. "Grandson understands."

"You continue."

Mo Fei nodded, lowering his voice to explain, "We were all there at the time. I heard what the Feng family said with my own ears; there's no mistake. The two senior brothers and sisters from Jianfeng even invited him to go to Phoenix Ancient City together..."

Mo Yuntian's face was cold. "Why are you only telling me this now?"

Mo Fei: "It's someone else's secret, and I promised not to reveal it..."

"If that cultivator from another region hadn't already set his sights on Sister Ning today, judging from his greatly shocked expression regarding the phoenix bloodline, I wouldn't have brought it up."

Mo Yuntian was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, "You did the right thing. You shouldn't have revealed what you promised others."

"And it's fortunate that you didn't tell Grandpa before, otherwise that foreign cultivator could have discovered the secret of Phoenix Perching Light from my memories."

"By then, he won't just be looking for Miss Yu; the entire Feng family could be targeted by that person."

A cold sweat broke out on Mo Fei's back. He looked flustered. "Grandpa, what do we do now?"

"That cultivator from another region has already recognized Sister Ning's phoenix bloodline. The people behind him will definitely be able to find her soon."

Mo Yuntian sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Miss Yu risked her life to enter my sea of ​​consciousness in order to save me. Young Master Bai also diverted his divine consciousness and was almost trapped inside."

"Now that she's being targeted by cultivators from other realms, how can my Mo family stand idly by?"

Mo Fei's expression shifted slightly.

Mo Yuntian: "Although the Mo family is weak and unable to confront the powerful figures from other regions head-on, our family is not without capable people. Immediately send a message to the Feng family and tell them to prepare a response as soon as possible. Grandpa also needs to rush back to the clan and send someone to investigate secretly."

"Grandpa, what about your health?" Mo Fei asked worriedly.

Mo Yuntian waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of the soul being injured, not my limbs being broken."

Mo Fei's gaze sharpened, and he asked again, "Should we tell the Feng family about Sister Ning's matter?"

Mo Yuntian: "Of course not. That's Miss Yu's secret."

All you need to do is tell the Feng family that cultivators from other realms are searching for the Phoenix bloodline on the Eastern Treasure Continent, and let them prepare accordingly.

"Yes, Grandpa, I understand." Mo Fei nodded solemnly.

The three returned to Zhexue Peak. Cui Xiu was still sulking, looking at Bai Rongling with disdain.

Cui Xiu's voice was cold, carrying undisguised rejection.

Bai Rongling didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that this guy wanted her to appear less in front of Yu Luoning.

This person possesses extraordinary strength, but lacks a sharp mind, thus creating a weakness for himself.

Bai Rongling pondered to herself, if Cui Xiu spared his life only because of the secret he possessed, his death would come once that secret was gone.

But now it seems that Yu Luoning can become his temporary protector.

Based on his observations over the past few days, although Cui Xiu appeared aloof, her emotions were entirely controlled by Yu Luoning.

Therefore, the real power holder in this relationship is Yu Luoning.

Bai Rongling's eyes flickered slightly, and she answered softly, "Yes."

He made a move to leave as soon as he finished speaking.

But then he swayed slightly, and Yu Luoning, who was closest to him, reacted quickly and helped Bai Rongling.

In the illusionary realm of consciousness, the two of them were taking care of the child together, and occasional physical contact was inevitable, so this helping hand was very natural to Yu Luoning.

She clearly underestimated the extent of someone's jealousy.

Cui Xiuzheng stood not far from them, his face very gloomy.

He sneered, "His hand isn't broken yet."

Yu Luoning was taken aback. "Who?"

Cui Xiu stared at Bai Rongling's hand on Yu Luoning's arm, gritting her teeth, "Of course it's him?"

Yu Luoning was speechless. "Bai Rongning's soul was damaged. What's wrong with me helping him up?"

Cui Xiu reacted strongly, speaking sarcastically, "You two were husband and wife for a few days in the sea of ​​consciousness, haven't you had enough fun after coming out?"

Bai Rongling spoke calmly, "We are not husband and wife, but were given this identity by Senior Mo's obsession. Your Majesty's reaction is far too great."

Cui Xiu sneered: "What's the difference?"

Yu Luoning was speechless.

It's quite amusing to see Choi Soo get jealous for herself occasionally, but her inexplicable jealousy is really a headache and exhausting.

It's unclear where Yu Luoning got the courage, but she suddenly retorted, "Of course there's a difference. I've already said, in my eyes he's my eldest son."

Bai Rongling, who was standing to the side, twitched her brow and her face darkened slightly. "Miss Yu, there's no need to bring this up again."

Cui Xiu's expression softened slightly upon hearing the name of her eldest son. "You seem quite adept at being a mother."

Yu Luoning glared at Cui Xiu, but her anger subsided considerably the moment her gaze met Zhang Mingyu's face.

Cui Xiusheng was exceptionally beautiful, with a face as enchanting as jade and a red dress as lovely as a flower.

Okay, that's why you have to find a handsome guy to date. When you're angry, just a couple of glances and your anger will melt away.

Cui Xiu felt her ears turn slightly red as she was stared at. She turned her face away slightly.

Seemingly remembering something, Choi Soo asked, "You really like children?"

Yu Luoning didn't think much of it and casually said, "Who doesn't like a cute, well-behaved, and quiet child?"

Choi Soo's eyebrows twitched slightly, a fleeting emotion crossing her eyes. "What about yours?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Rongling also looked up at Cui Xiu.
