Zixie turned to look at Xiao Xun’er in Gu Ruoyun’s arms before he raised his hand and pulled the little child towards him. There was a deep smile in his eyes.

“This child is only two years old but his power is already at the Martial Honor rank.”

Gu Ruoyun was shocked. She was so focused on her conversation with Zuo Shangchen that she had not noticed Xiao Xun’er’s power.

“Are you saying that he’s already at the Martial Honor rank?” She was shaken and asked sluggishly.

“Can’t you tell?”

Zixie chuckled as he hugged Xiao Xun’er tenderly in his arms.

Xiao Xun’er did not resist his touch as his large and adorable eyes stared curiously at the demonic-looking man who was holding him.

“By the way, I had forgotten to mention this to you.” Zuo Shangchen suddenly returned to his senses and explained to Gu Ruoyun, “This son of yours is a little bit special. He can extract spiritual energy from pills and turn it into sustenance. This was the reason how he had managed to break through so quickly.”

Gu Ruoyun’s heart slowly turned quiet.

He can extract spiritual energy from pills? This is similar to how Mengmeng feeds! Is there some sort of connection between Mengmeng’s existence and Xiao Xun’er? Otherwise, Xiao Xun’er could not possibly have turned out like Mengmeng and used pills as a means to raise his power.

“Mother.” Xiao Xun’er noticed Gu Ruoyun’s silence and became so anxious that he was about to cry. “Is it because Xun’er is like a monster that you don’t want Xun’er anymore? Sob, sob, Xun’er doesn’t want to leave you, Mother, don’t throw Xun’er away...”

Xiao Xun’er’s tender and childish voice brought Gu Ruoyun back to reality. She took the little child from Zixie’s arms and soothed him gently, “Xun’er, you aren’t a monster. You are a genius, a peerless genius! Even if you are a monster, I won’t ever throw you away.”

Smooch!

Xiao Xun’er pouted his lips planted a big kiss on Gu Ruoyun’s face. He then burbled and giggled. “Xun’er likes Mother the most.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled and turned to look at Zixie.

Perhaps she was mistaken but she felt as though there was a sense of bitterness in Zixie’s smile.

“Zixie?”

She frowned as she looked at Zixie and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Nothing.” Zixie returned to his senses and shook his head. “It’s getting late. We should leave this place as well. Yun’er, let’s join forces and break this formation.”

“Alright.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded gently and gathered all her power into the palm of her hand. She then blasted all of her energy together with Zixie at the formation...

Boom!

The formation burst apart followed by a violently ringing noise. The invisible wall had turned formless and completely dissolved into the air...

“We can finally leave.”

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and said, “Evildoer, I’m going to look for Xiao Ye now. You should return to the Red Lotus Territory first. I’ve been away from Mother and Father for so long that I’m afraid they might be anxiously waiting for me.”

“Little girl.”

Zixie did not wait for Zuo Shangchen’s response and turned towards Gu Ruoyun to say, “If we look for Qianbei Ye now, we might not be able to locate him. Besides, you’ve been in this formation for three years. Do you have any idea of the changes in the outside world over the past three years?”

Three years was enough time to change everything!

“I suggest that we return to the Red Lotus Territory first. We can then ask the members of the Red Lotus Territory to look for him. Once we have news of him, we can then head out again.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and asked, “Zixie, do you know about Cang Ming?”
