When the cocoon appeared in front of Feng Yiyi, a voice came from within, "Son, are we home?"
"Yes, Father. We are home. Mother is right beside us," Yao Yue replied.
"Yiyi, are you there?" Yao Zhen asked excitedly from within the cocoon.
The cocoon completely blocked his vision. He could only rely on his aura to sense the surroundings. He could not see Yao Yue and Feng Yiyi's faces.
"Brother Zhen, I'm here. I'm here. What happened to you?" Feng Yiyi hurriedly shouted and tried to open the cocoon.
Yao Yue quickly pulled her back and said, "Mother, don't go over there. The cocoon is too powerful. It will hurt you. Father is fine."
"That's right. Yiyi, don't come over. I have obtained a powerful inheritance. This is the inheritance energy. I need to refine it before I can come out of seclusion and see you and our son. Don't worry!" Yao Zhen quickly explained.
Feng Yiyi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "Brother Zhen, you are not lying to me?"
"Why would I dare to lie to you?
Everyone knows that you are the eldest in our family, "Yao Zhen replied.
"Hmph, at least you know your place. If you dare to lie to me, I will ignore you for the rest of my life!" Feng Yiyi coldly snorted.
"I wouldn't dare. Now that our son is back, we can reunite once I come out of seclusion. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. The heavens have finally opened their eyes!" Yao Zhen lamented.
"Then hurry up and cultivate. Come out of seclusion as soon as possible. We will be waiting for you," Feng Yiyi said gently.
Feng Yiyi and Yao Zhen did not talk for long before leaving the seclusion room together with Yao Yue. They wanted to give Yao Zhen some time to himself.
After Feng Yiyi knew that Yao Zhen was fine, her entire person's mental state was clearly much better.
"Son, what's up with that Xiangya?
Are you the one who abducted your wife?
You have good taste! "Feng Yiyi asked Yao Yue.
"Mother, don't talk nonsense. This is ruining her reputation. I only met her on the way back, so we traveled together. We are just friends who met by chance!" Yao Yue declared.
"Is it really that simple?
But the way she looks at you doesn't seem right!
Don't you think it's inappropriate for a girl to go home with you just after knowing each other? "Feng Yiyi continued to ask.
"Mother, you don't have to ask so much, just think of her as a naughty princess who ran away from home. If you really want to see your daughter-in-law, when father comes out of seclusion, I will go back to the Demon Realm and bring them all to see you!" Yao Yue replied.
"Okay, okay, just remember what you said!" Feng Yiyi replied. Then she asked how the father and son got out of trouble.
Yao Yue naturally didn't hide anything and told his mother the whole story in full detail!
Feng Yiyi's face was filled with joy after hearing the story.
If Yao Yue was not alert and knew how to break the array, the consequences would be unimaginable if they could not find the Heavenly Fire Divine Sword.
After chatting for half a day, the mother and son finally separated.
Yao Yue went to take a bath and change clothes. At the same time, she asked Feng Xiaohua to find out the whereabouts of the three brothers.
When Yao Yue came out of the bath, Feng Xiaohua had already brought back the news.
Xiao Liuzi, Zhao Tianyun, and Ouré had already left the inner courtyard of the Yao family a day ago. No one knew where they went.
When he heard the news, Yao Yue could not help but feel a little gloomy.
He knew his three brothers very well. Xiao Liuzi had a fiery temper and was impulsive. Zhao Tianyun was calm and loyal. Ouré was inexperienced and did not have his own opinions. The only reason they could have acted together was to avenge him.
'My three brothers, I hope you won't do something so stupid!' Yao Yue thought to himself.
After that, he asked Feng Xiaohua to send people to find out where Xiao Liuzi and the others went after they left. He wanted to see if anyone in the family had seen them. That way, he could determine if they had really gone to the Hundred Tribes Alliance.
After Yao Yue washed up, he did not stay in his own courtyard. Instead, he went to the stone courtyard to take a look.
As soon as Yao Yue arrived at the entrance of the stone courtyard, the people there immediately greeted him respectfully. "Greetings, Courtyard Master!"
"Mm, there's no need for formalities." Yao Yue replied and walked in.
When Fu Gang, Chen Guichou, and Yao Shishan heard that Yao Yue had returned, they put aside their own matters and came to pay their respects to Yao Yue.
They were all Yao Yue's in-name disciples, and they were already in awe of Yao Yue's abilities.
Yao Yue asked them a few questions about what had happened in the courtyard. He also tested them to see if they had made any progress in their elemental searching and setting up formations.
Yao Yue told them that there were no major issues in the stone courtyard. They had already taken care of the small matters. As for their elemental searching and setting up formations, they had all improved. Among them, Yao Shishan's improvement was the most obvious.
"Very good. It seems that all of you have been very diligent these past few days. If you continue like this, I will come to supervise you from time to time. If any of you slack off, don't blame me for being rude!" Yao Yue said.
"Yes, Courtyard Master!" The three of them replied in unison.
"Now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will answer them one by one," Yao Yue said.
Thus, the three of them told Yao Yue about the problems that they had not been able to solve in the near future. They wanted Yao Yue to answer their questions.
Yao Yue was naturally not stingy. He explained all of their problems to them, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of elemental searching and setting up formations.
After that, Yao Yue did not stay in the stone courtyard. Instead, he returned to his own courtyard.
Just as he returned to the courtyard, he saw a beautiful figure bathing under the moonlight. Her slender and slender figure was elongated under the faint moonlight. Half of her face seemed to be suffused with a bit of radiance, appearing extremely beautiful!
She was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. She was filled with an otherworldly and ethereal aura.
Yao Yue couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
After a long time, Mu Xiangya turned her head slightly and revealed a mischievous smile. "Blockhead, have you never seen a beauty before?"
Yao Yue touched his nose lightly and smiled. "Yes, I have never seen a fairy as beautiful as you."
"Glib tongue," Mu Xiangya rolled her eyes at Yao Yue flirtatiously. However, she was secretly delighted.
Yao Yue walked over and sat down on a stone bench. "Let's sit down and talk."
Mu Xiangya obeyed and sat opposite Yao Yue. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a holy light as she asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about where you are from and why you are running away from your family." Yao Yue went straight to the point.
Although he felt that Mu Xiangya did not have any malicious intentions, he still wanted to know more about her. He wanted to know more about her so that he would not be clueless if something big happened.
"I am from Earthly Star. I only came out to have some fun. I am not running away from them," Mu Xiangya replied with a complicated expression on her face.
Yao Yue could see a trace of loneliness on Mu Xiangya's face. He knew that she was a girl with a story.
There was no need for Yao Yue to continue asking, as Mu Xiangya once again spoke softly, "You might not be able to imagine it, but from the moment a person was born, there would always be someone by her side to protect her. Furthermore, most of the time, that person would be urging her to cultivate. No matter how bitter it is, other than cultivating, it would never stop!
When she is tired of cultivating and reaches her limit, she will no longer have her parents to comfort her. She will only have a loyal guard waiting for her with a respectful tone. Many people yearn for this kind of life, but others might not know about her loneliness and suffering. She also wants to be like other young boys and girls, free to go out and have fun. Even if she encounters danger, she will not be an exception … "
Yao Yue listened silently. It was as if he could see the scene of a girl cultivating day and night in the scorching hot summer and the icy cold winter since she was young!
He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"Actually, she has already gotten used to it. However, her father once promised her that as long as she can become a Saint, he will give her a chance to travel the world. Unfortunately, her father went back on his word. Even if she goes out to have fun, he will send a large group of guards to follow her. She has no freedom to speak of. What's the point of traveling like this?" Mu Xiangya said with a self-deprecating smile.
"It sounds really bitter, but have you ever thought about how much her father cares about her?" Yao Yue asked.
"He does care about her, but he has never understood her feelings. Everything has to be done according to his arrangements. She is just like a puppet. What fun is there in life?" Mu Xiangya said with some agitation.
"I didn't expect you to have such a bitter life." Yao Yue sighed.
"Yes, that's why I envy you. Your mother loves you so much, but she doesn't restrict you. This is the kind of life I want!" Mu Xiangya said with envy.
"Is that so?
If you know about my past, perhaps you will rejoice that your previous life was really beautiful. "Yao Yue said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Could it be that you also have a sad past?" Mu Xiangya asked curiously.
"En, I've told you a story before, right?" Yao Yue replied and slowly told Mu Xiangya about his past experiences.
As Mu Xiangya listened, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but become moist.
She had never thought that Yao Yue's experience would be so bizarre and full of twists and turns. It was simply unimaginable!
"Is this story really about you?" Mu Xiangya couldn't help but ask after listening.
"Of course. Do you think I will lie to you?" Yao Yue said with a bitter smile.
"If that's the case, I really feel that compared to you in the past, I was really good." Mu Xiangya replied.
"En, now everything is in the past. I have found my parents. As long as they are always by my side, I will be very satisfied.
As for the matter between you and your father, I think you can open your hearts and talk about it. I believe that he will understand your difficulties. "Yao Yue said.
"I hope so." Mu Xiangya sighed.
As the two of them chatted, it was already very late at night.
Their relationship had also deepened overnight from being ordinary friends who had met by chance to become good friends!
The next day, Yao Yue finally confirmed the whereabouts of Xiao Liuzi and the others.
