Family
“What are your plans now?” inquired Tan Qingquan.
“If I can’t find Nian Henxi, I’ll find a way to ensure the nine mystic immortals are on our side since that’s the only alternative solution to combat Bai Jie besides casting Nine Heavens Reverse Development Formation,” Mu Yu answered.
“When it comes down to it, the future of the cultivation world is in your hands. We Apotheosis Realm cultivators must stay low due to the enemy Apotheosis Realm adepts being able to sense our whereabouts if we use our powers. You have the gift and competence to slip under Bai Jie’s radar.”
“I already appreciate what you have done for me. City Lord He, I promise to revive you.”
“Master Mu Y-”
“Please drop the prefix, City Lord He. I cannot get used to it. Just call me Mu Yu.”
“… Mu Yu, my revival is not an urgent matter. Your life is far more important than mine for you are the future.”
“I will take care of myself. You must not endanger yourself again. Take care of your wounds, and leave the rest to me…. Qing Fan, study diligently so that you can live on your terms, understand?”
“I will, Brother Ermao.”Xiaoshuai draped his arm around Qing Fan’s shoulder. “Hehe, you better be strong enough to join us next time, okay?”
“Yeah. Chen Xi and I will do our best.”
“Chen Xi?” Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai blurted in synchrony.
“The girl from Pure Peace City?” Tian Ran asked.
Tan Qingquan smiled. “I took her in while I was at it. She didn’t come with us as she needs to train at the moment.”
“Thank you,” expressed Mu Yu. “City Lord He, bring Xuan Family’s souls with you to Pill Cauldron Sect when you go there as I have preserved your bodies there.”
“Understood.”
Tan Qingquan regarded everyone with eye contact and then departed with Qing Fan and He Jinglong. Those who stayed behind with Mu Yu felt a weight lift from their shoulders even though Tan Qingquan did not oppress them with his Apotheosis Realm qi.
“Mu Yu, it’s time for us to get going,” stated Tian Ran.
“All right. Let’s head to Formation Sect,” Mu Yu responded.
Upon hearing of Mu Yu’s return, Lu Deyi rushed out to welcome them. “Mu Yu, your family in Clearwater City has come here.”
“That sure is sudden,” Mu Yu replied.
“They arrived three days ago to avoid trouble. I have provided them with housing next door to Formation Palace.” Unsurprisingly, Gu Jiangyou’s cultivation had Lu Deyi on edge.
“Patriarch, please provide Gu Jiangyou with somewhere to stay,” Mu Yu requested. “I am going to pay my family a visit.”
“Understood.”
As Mu Yu turned around, Tian Ran grabbed his hand. “Your family is here?”
“Yeah. Honestly, I should’ve brought them here sooner given the status quo of the cultivation world nowadays. You can finally meet my grandfather and father, as well.”
Face ablaze, Tian Ran timidly complained, “I haven’t prepared anything!”
“Huh? Prepare what?”
“Hahaha, Mu Yu, I don’t even know where to start. A daughter-in-law can’t just rock up at her in-laws place,” explained Lu Deyi.
“Oh, I get it now. It’s fine. They’re approachable. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Let’s go.”
The manor, which was originally constructed as Mu Yu’s residence, Mu Clan lodged at was situated at the foot of one of Formation Sect’s mountains that offered an exotic view. Uncle Mu, who sunbathed on the stone seat in courtyard while providing directives to the servants who followed them from Clearwater City, got up upon spotting Mu Yu. “Welcome home, Young Master Mu Yu. Greet Young Master Mu Yu.”
The servants did as they were told, greeting Mu Yu on their knees. Mu Yu pulled Uncle Mu up, telling him, “You don’t have to do this, Uncle Mu. We’re family.”
“Thank you, Young Master Mu Yu. Please allow me to notify everyone else.” Uncle Mu headed inside to call Mu Tianhe and Mu Zhexing out.
“Welcome back, Mu Yu, hahaha.”
“It certainly makes us feel better to have you back. We felt we were imposing on Formation Sect.”
“This is now your home, Grandfather, Father. Where is everyone else?”
“Brother Mu Yu.” Mu Xin jumped into Mu Yu’s embrace.
“Aiyo, Mu Xin.” Mu Yu picked Mu Xin up to give her a pinch on the cheek before Mu Hao and Mu Qingfan also arrived.
“That’s everyone who came here with us,” informed Mu Zhexing. “Everyone else went elsewhere. We have Greater Heaven Caster Lu for providing us with somewhere to stay.”
“Not at all. I only did what I should,” conveyed Lu Deyi.
“We didn’t plan to disturb you; however, your father-in-law brought us here due to him being busy and then rushed off,” notified Mu Tianhe.
Mu Yu palmed his forehead, inwardly recalling, Damn it, I forgot about fetching Archfiend Hai Dongqing’s heart from Xiang Nan within three months.
“Did Mr. Bai say anything else?” Mu Yu inquired, feeling bad for failing to keep his end of the deal.
“He did not look happy and said he had a score to settle with you. Mu Yu, you really shouldn’t provoke your father-in-law, or life will be rough for you,” reproached Mu Tianhe.
Tian Ran lifted her head, blinking. “Brother Mu Yu, you have a father-in-law, do you?”
