"I know the cure." Murong Xue could not help telling the truth when she saw Mo Changfeng's tearful eyes, "But I'm not capable of doing it. I will better myself as soon as possible."
"Could you write down the cure so that I can show it to people from the R&D Institute of our country? Many hands make light work." Mo Changfeng asked.
"Not that I'm unwilling to, Grandpa Mo. Even if I write it down, it doesn’t work. In the world of ascension, only those at or above yellow-level can perform it."
"..."
Then Mo Changfeng pursued further about cultivation, but Murong Xue failed to give him the answer he wanted as she was not entirely aware of it. But with the help of the living example, Mo Changfeng did know something about people with psionic power now.
When the three came out of the study, Mo Liufeng asked, "Xue, do you have a minute alone with me?"
His request was unexpected for Murong Xue as she thought that everything they had discussed inside the room was not worth hiding from any of them. Besides, she had wanted to talk to Mo Aili later because she had seen her crying so bad before. She was worried that Mo Aili was bullied or something, but she failed to ask her at that time as the two men who were related to Mo Aili by blood were present. Confused, Murong Xue nodded to Mo Liufeng.
Hearing what Mo Liufeng said, Mo Changfeng, who was very satisfied with Murong Xue, responded with a soft smile in his eyes.
Mo Liufeng and Murong Xue went out and walked to the garden.
Then, Mo Liufeng fell on his knees.
Murong Xue changed her expression, "Liufeng, what are you doing? Get up." She knew a man like him would never kneel down to someone easily.
"Xue, help me please."
"Okay. Sure. Why not? You get up before we talk about it." Murong Xue felt uneasy.
"Listen to me." Mo Liufeng's voice was heavy.
"Get up first." Murong Xue could not bear his kneeling.
"No, let me say it in this way."
"Then I should do the same." Murong Xue could not put up with it, so she knelt down as well.
At the same time, two people were peeping at them at a distance.
"What are they doing now? Both of them kneel on the ground." Mo Aili felt confused.
"You scared me." Mo Changfeng patted his breast and gave her a glare, "Aili, when did you get here?"
"I saw you creeping outside and I thought you were up to something indecent." Mo Aili said.
"Ugh! Only you would be involved in such things. Get out of my sight now." Mo Changfeng tried to wave the troublesome girl off as Murong Xue did.
"No. If you want to drive me away, I would shout to them." Mo Aili pouted.
"No! Shut up then. Stay here quietly." Mo Changfeng turned to watch the two out there.
...
Mo Liufeng looked at Murong Xue helplessly. He wanted to ask her for something, but her move left him no choice. At last, he rose up and helped her get up as well.
"Xue, could you be my ascension mentor? I want to learn it no matter what it may cost." Mo Liufeng could not get those brutal scenes out of his mind and he was determined to eliminate those heartless people with his own hands.
Murong Xue did not expect him to ask for this and she felt awkward as she was not good enough to be his mentor and she did not know how to teach him, either. The Space was her last resort and she was unwilling to let anyone else other than her families enter the Space. Huangfu Yi was an exception as he was the first person she approved and let in. Thinking of him, she was caught by sadness.
However, Mo Liufeng got her wrong. He was somehow disappointed, "I'm giving you a hard time. I know such things usually don't go to the outsiders." The reason why he wanted to learn it was that he was unable to beat those immortal monsters in other ways, and he was still stunned by their pure presence till now.
"No, you got me wrong, Liufeng." Murong Xue finally reacted.
"Then, could you be my mentor?" Mo Liufeng's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Murong Xue was in a dilemma, "Liufeng, I'm too weak to teach you. For me, much of it is imperfectly understood. I'm afraid that I will mislead you..."
"It's okay. I'm willing to suffer whatever it needs to take as long as you can teach me." Mo Liufeng promised with excitement.
"Liufeng, could you tell me why you want to learn it?" The more she knew about ascension, the more frightened she became. She did not know what the world would turn into in the future.
Since she knew about ascension, she had been asking herself if human beings should own such powers. What if everyone in the world mastered it? Would the world be more peaceful or more war-ridden? Murong Xue did not have the answer, but what she knew was that some were hurting the innocent with such powers.
Looking at Mo Liufeng, she felt that he would be a defender of world peace.
"To kill the ruthless murders from the Black Pavilion." Mo Liufeng's voice was burdened. He felt that he should meet the obligation of the office as the national general.
"Okay. I'll teach you." Murong Xue decided to let Mo Liufeng enter the Space as nobody was able to kill her in the Space where she was omnipotent.
"Great! Thank you so much, Xue." Mo Liufeng gave her a thankful hug.
Murong Xue froze for an instant, but she did not push him away when she felt his excitement.
The two peeping out there almost jumped for joy.
Mo Changfeng even began to consider questions like when the wedding banquet should be held.
Later, Murong Xue and Mo Liufeng were scared by the strange smiles they saw on Mo Changfeng and Mo Aili’s faces when they walked into the living room side by side.
"What makes you so happy?" Mo Liufeng felt goosebumps on his arms.
"Nothing!"
"Nothing!"
Mo Changfeng and Mo Aili answered together. Smiling at each other, they let out a cackle of weirder laughter.
"Xue, why don't you stay here with me tonight?" Mo Aili asked while winking at her grandfather as if she had done something remarkable.
Mo Changfeng took the hint with a smile.
It only gave Mo Liufeng the creeps though.
"Okay!" Murong Xue got the opportunity to ask Mo Aili about her crying.
Her grandfather and brother might think it was caused by what happened to her today, but Murong Xue knew it was not the truth. Few things would make a girl, who was a food lover with a strong personality, cry so hard. That was also why Murong Xue was so concerned.
After dinner, Mo Liufeng stopped Murong Xue again, "Xue, when can we start?"
"Well, are you available tomorrow? Let's do it in my villa. It will be more convenient." Murong Xue answered after a pause.
"I'm free tomorrow. Okay!" Mo Liufeng was having a rough time recently. He was given off-days to restore himself and he accepted it. Every mission was serious and a single mistake could risk others' lives, which was exactly what happened in his last mission. If he had not followed up, they would have probably been alive now.
But the failure was not fruitless. He knew about the situation and he was able to prepare his men for it in advance. Now, what he needed to do was to become strong enough to eradicate those vicious killers and let the dead rest in peace.
Hearing their conversation, the two who misunderstood were smirking again.
At night, it was in Mo Aili's room.
"Xue, when did it happen between you and my brother?" Mo Aili bubbled over with enthusiasm.
"What do you mean?" Murong Xue was really in the dark.
"Don't lie to me. I saw you two before." Mo Aili grinned.
"What?"
"Aren't you having a relationship with my brother?"
Murong Xue paused for a moment, "No, who told you that?" She wanted to avoid such misunderstanding.
"But you hugged each other." Mo Aili got more intense.
"Liufeng just wanted to thank me. It's not what you thought." Then Murong Xue realized something and took a sideways glance at her, "You were peeping?"
"Of course not. I just stood there and watched you two." Mo Aili seemed to think of something, and her voice turned soft. "Then who do you like now, Chu Yisen?" If Murong Xue took a closer look, she would find that Mo Aili clenched her fists and straightened her body, which indicated her nervousness.
But Murong Xue missed it and only answered, "Yisen is a good man." Her tone was heavily guilty.
