Chapter 375: Chapter 344: Return to the Palace of Pure Heart_1
Inside a crack in the seabed, Xu Mu sat cross-legged beneath a veil of formations, appearing as if he was meditating. However, he was actually using the God Refining Tripod to refine Bai Xiaoxiao’s soul and explore his memories.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes, muttering, “Who would have thought something like this had happened. It seems my luck isn’t half bad.”
Among the many secrets he found in Bai Xiaoxiao’s memories, a particular event from a hundred years ago attracted his attention.
A century prior, Qiu Jixing had used the Heavenly Spirit Treasure to locate a specific person, then sent a large number of masters to the Outer Sea, only returning after a lengthy period.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know the specifics, but Xu Mu estimated based on the timeline, that it coincided to when he had killed Mu Yunwan and fled to the Outer Sea.
If his assumptions were correct, those people would have been chasing him.
“Seems I really can’t let the Butian Pavilion off!”
Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t aware of the importance of the Yin and Yang Harmony Secret Skill to Butian Pavilion, nor was Xu Mu. However, he knew that Butian Pavilion wanted to kill him and nearly succeeded.
He could not possibly turn a blind eye to this!
His murder of Mu Yunwan was solely because she courted death herself. After fleeing to the Outer Sea, he thought the matter was over. It seems that this was all due to his good fortune.
He had no good feelings towards the Butian Pavilion; they always picked the fights and were ruthless.
He had to take revenge!
Moreover, judging by Bai Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunwan’s actions, Butian Pavilion must have killed numerous innocent people in private.
To annihilate Butian Pavilion would be to remove a public menace.
The reason Butian Pavilion had survived for so long was partly due to its strong strength, but mostly because it was shrewd and avoided offending powerful entities.
Unfortunately for them, they had offended him now, so their peaceful days were over.
After fully digesting all of Bai Xiaoxiao’s memories, Xu Mu didn’t hurry to leave the seabed. He wanted to see if Butian Pavilion’s Heavenly Spirit Treasure could locate his whereabouts. If so, then his future plans would need adjustment.
He stayed on for three months before finally leaving his hiding spot to return to Pursuing Wind City, now confident that Butian Pavilion could not detect him.
…
“Daddy!”
Seeing Xu Mu return, the previously listless Xu Tianlei instantly perked up.
“Did you get into any trouble?” asked Xu Mu.
“No! No!” Xu Tianlei shook her head vehemently.
“That’s good,” Xu Mu replied.
Hearing of Xu Mu’s return, Xu Tianmei and Ming Lingchun hurried over to greet him.
“Ah Chun, were these two bothering you?” Xu Mu asked.
“No, no! Sister Tianmei and sister Tianlei were very kind to me, especially sister Tianlei!” Ming Lingchun hastily replied.
Xu Mu turned to look and saw Xu Tianlei hurriedly retract her threatening gaze and started sheepishly grinning.
Xu Mu silently shook his head without pressing further.
“Pack up! We are leaving!”
“Daddy, where are we going?” Xu Tianlei asked excitedly.
She had been stuck here for months and was eager to go out.
“Palace of Pure Heart!”
Xu Mu didn’t bother hiding the destination. They would learn of it sooner rather than later anyway.
“The Palace of Pure Heart?”
The pair of sisters exchanged glances, remembering the token Xu Mu had given them.
“Daddy, why are we going there?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
Xu Mu didn’t explain. He intended to request Mo Wuxin’s assistance to grant the two girls the title of disciples under the Four Seas Immortal Palace to make their future travels in the Outer Sea smoother.
Instead of using a magic artifact for the journey, the four traveled via the Cluster Star Sect’s Flying Boat. Although this slowed the journey slightly, it allowed the three of them to experience life in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory beforehand, preventing them from being exposed, and under his guidance, there was little danger of mishaps.
After a bit over a month, the party reached the Palace of Pure Heart. Mo Wuxin, who had been informed of their impending visit earlier, sent people to welcome them.
“Senior!”
Feng Luan enthusiastically waved her hand. Heavily, Xu Mu went up to hug her, feeling as if her breasts have grown a bit larger.
“Father!”
Off to the side, Xu Yin in her green clothing, smiled lightly.
Xu Mu stretched out his hand and patted her head with a smile.
Among all the children, he was closest with Xu Ling and Xu Yin, there was no helping it as they were the first to be born, and both were offsprings of Ye Yingying. Especially Xu Ling—
Ah!
Thinking of his eldest daughter, Xu Mu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, not knowing if there would be a chance to see her again.
“Everything okay?”
“Yes!”
Xu Yin nodded.
“Is what they said about sister true?”
“Yes!”
Xu Mu nodded and laughed, “Rest assured, she’ll be fine. Speaking of which, where’s your master?”
Xu Yin was a disciple of the Palace of Pure Heart, so her master was naturally Mo Wuxin.
As Mo Wuxin always presented herself as a man, no one knew the actual relationship between them and thought they were just normal senior and junior brothers.
“Master is in seclusion!”
“In seclusion?”
Xu Mu chuckled to himself, he still had to send a message to Mo Wuxin not long ago. It’s not really a seclusion, probably just didn’t want to see him.
They’re an old couple who are still shy, wait until I get back and see how I tease them.
“Where are Tianpu, Tian Yi, and Tian Tian?”
Xu Tianpu was the son of Feng Luan, while Tian Yi and Tian Tian were the children of Nangong Suyi and Mo Wuxin. In terms of birth order, they were ranked ninth, twelfth and thirteenth respectively.
The identity of Xu Tianpu didn’t matter, but Xu Tian Yi and Xu Tian Tian were more special. On one hand, Mo Wuxin had to hide her gender, and on the other hand, Nangong Suyi wanted to hide their relationship. Everyone knew that these two were Xu Mu’s blood-related children, but no one knew who their mother was. Xu Mu also strictly forbade them to inquire about it.
Especially Xu Tian Tian, probably only Xu Mu knew about her birth in the world right now.
“As for Tianpu, you should ask Aunt Feng!” Xu Yin said with a strange expression.
“Has he caused any trouble?” Xu Mu asked, looking at Feng Luan.
“No, he just…” Feng Luan transmitted a message to Xu Yin via Divine Intent.
After listening, Xu Mu’s expression inevitably became a little strange.
“This little scoundrel!”
After cursing, he helplessly shook his head and said, “Forget it! Let him be!”
Xu Mu then looked at Xu Yin, waiting for her to talk about the other two.
As Xu Yin was Mo Wuxin’s direct disciple and she had good talent and skills, she was already chosen as the successor. So, many affairs of the Palace of Pure Heart were managed by her, hence questioning her was much more effective than asking Feng Luan.
“Tian Yi is in seclusion with her master, I have notified her, but there’s no reply yet. As for Tian Tian, she went to the city to treat patients, she’ll be back later!”
“Oh!”
Xu Mu nodded his head, without asking anything else.
As for Xu Tian Yi, because her talent was too astonishing, she was spotted by a senior Nascent Soul cultivator of the Four Seas Immortal Palace shortly after she became an adult, and was accepted as a direct disciple.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had some connection with the Palace of Pure Heart and wasn’t a wicked person. Plus, Xu Mu didn’t have enough strength at that time, so he had to reluctantly agree.
These years, Xu Tian Yi only occasionally came home, Xu Mu was aware of these things.
As for Xu Tian Tian, although her cultivation talent was not bad, it was incomparable with Xu Tian Yi. But among ordinary cultivators, she was still a genius, after all, she was born during Mo Wuxin’s Golden Pill phase.
But her temperament was neither like Xu Mu nor Mo Wuxin, she was naturally frail and kind-hearted, not keen on cultivation, but extremely dedicated to healing and saving people. She was either saving people or on the way to save them, almost like a living Buddha.
As for this daughter, Xu Mu had her fair share of troubles. But the most troublesome one was still the ninth, Xu Tian Pu.
