CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: INNOCENT CHILDHOOD COMPANIONS

Gu Zhi slightly pursed her lips, "Mom, Ah Ling is really good, she’s willing to sacrifice her life for me, please agree with us..."

The woman’s eyes still carried a chill, "Silly child, people from the Ji Family are even less worthy of you!"

Gu Zhi was not convinced, "Why? Ah Ling is the best girl in the whole world!"

The woman’s gaze flickered, her expression grew colder, "There’s no why; I said no, so it’s no!"

Everyone who gets close to them, it’s all because of their ability to defy fate. If the Heavenly Maiden Clan didn’t have this ability, would anyone truly care for them?

Because of the belief in so-called love, their clan was on the verge of extinction!

She absolutely could not allow her daughter to walk down her old path!

Gu Zhi was so angry at the woman’s words that she turned around and lay on the bed, crying.

The woman sat silently beside Gu Zhi’s bed, reaching out to stroke her back, "Ah Zhi, it’s not that Mom is hard-hearted, but our Heavenly Maiden Clan cannot fall in love. Once we do, we might end up doing something that harms ourselves. Mom has suffered this once, and I don’t want you to suffer the same."

Gu Zhi sobbed quietly, burying all the thoughts in her heart.

"Mom, I understand." After saying this, Gu Zhi wiped her tears, "Gu Heng didn’t listen to my advice, he plans to befriend the Lu Family."

The woman squinted her eyes slightly, "That’s not up to him!"

The outside world was in turmoil, but the world of the Mystic Sect was peaceful.

Unknowingly, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan had already been at Yukun Mountain for a week.

During this week, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian forced themselves to remain calm, attempting to make full use of the cultivation conditions here.

The results were notable, as Lu Zechuan, who could previously only control vines, could now transform various plants into whatever shape he desired.

Lu Zechuan went from initial anxiety and unease to later excitement and joy, and now to such contentment that he forgot all else, gradually accepting everything here.

Compared to the outside world, this place seemed more like his home.

Only, while Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian thought this was a paradise on earth, Fu Zhou was feeling sullen every day.

The food here was basic, the accommodations uncomfortable, and there were no parents around. If it weren’t for Meng Meng coming by every day to cheer him up, he would be on the verge of feeling emo~

"Zhou Zhou, try this fruit!" Meng Meng handed over a red berry, "It’s really sweet!"

Zhou Zhou looked at the bright red juice on Meng Meng’s lips and shook his head in disdain, "I don’t want it!"

Yet, Meng Meng persisted, "Just taste it!"

Zhou Zhou couldn’t avoid it and got a mouthful from Meng Meng directly feeding him.

He smacked his lips, and the taste seemed quite good, so his eyes began to shine, "Is there more?"

Meng Meng spread out her skirt, which held a handful of red berries.

This time, without Meng Meng’s prompting, Zhou Zhou reached out himself to take the berries and eat, staining his mouth with bright red. Once he opened his mouth, even his teeth were red, looking somewhat creepy.

After a bit of exercise, Xia Mian turned her head and saw the two little ones playing so joyfully, causing her to frown slightly.

Fu Zhou didn’t belong here; they would have to leave sooner or later. Once they left, Meng Meng might never see them again. The two little ones had such a good relationship, could they handle separation?

Just as Xia Mian had this thought, someone came running up from the foot of the mountain from Shu Dao Temple, "Grand Ancestor, the Sect Leader and Sect Leader’s Wife invite you and the Grandmaster over!"

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan exchanged a glance, immediately understanding that the two had probably regained some abilities and planned to activate the array for them.

Xia Mian glanced down at Fu Zhou, extending a hand to him, "Zhou Zhou, we have to go now."

Fu Zhou stood up, reluctantly looking at Meng Meng, "Meng Meng, will you come back with me?"

Meng Meng’s face showed a hint of hesitation, "But, there are no parents outside~"

"I’ll let you have my mom and dad!" Fu Zhou generously offered his parents.

Meng Meng pouted, tilting her head in thought, seemingly feeling that this wasn’t a bad idea.

Lu Zechuan bent down to pick up Fu Zhou, while Xia Mian picked up Meng Meng, "Parents aren’t something you can just replace."

Xia Mian smiled and tapped Meng Meng’s little nose, "If you want to come with us, you’ll need your parents’ permission."

Meng Meng, hugging Xia Mian’s neck, had a face full of excitement, "I agree!"

Xia Mian couldn’t help but find it amusing; what good is your agreement? If your parents don’t agree, you’ll have to stay here obediently!

To be honest, after spending these days with Meng Meng, both Xia Mian and Fu Zhou felt a bit reluctant to leave the child.

Unlike this complex world, Meng Meng’s heart was very simple, with all her feelings written on her face, pure and beautiful like a blank sheet of paper.

"I agree too!" Fu Zhou put on a stern face, looking serious.

Lu Zechuan looked at the two chatting away, his gaze complex as it swept over their small faces.

Isn’t this childhood sweethearts, with no secrets between them?

Unfortunately, their identities and status, their environments, determined that this relationship was fleeting.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, holding the two children and feeling conflicted, arrived at the great hall of Creation Peak.

Su Yu and Qin Xiang had already drawn a colossal array in the hall, shining with a golden light in the dim hall,

Even though the temperature on Creation Peak wasn’t high, Su Yu’s face was sweaty, and Qin Xiang’s hair was damp with sweat, indicating that setting up the array was no easy task.

"Grand Ancestor, the array is ready, and the door to the outside world can be opened at any time." Su Yu smiled respectfully at Xia Mian.

The Grand Ancestor’s mana is boundless, and using us juniors to open the array is a test; we must pass it!

Xia Mian nodded, setting Meng Meng down, "This is your home."

Yet Meng Meng held onto Xia Mian’s leg, "No, I want to go with sister!"

Qin Xiang frowned, "Meng Meng, stop this nonsense!"

They had gone to great lengths to find Meng Meng, and if Meng Meng left with the Grand Ancestor now, who knew how long it would be before they saw her again?

Meng Meng clung to Xia Mian’s leg, throwing a tantrum, "No, no, I want to find sister!!"

Su Yu placed a hand on his forehead, feeling overwhelmed, "The Grand Ancestor is very busy!"

How could he even imagine asking the Grand Ancestor to babysit for them?

Xia Mian squinted slightly, realizing that Meng Meng had brought them to this world by mistake because she wanted to find her parents, and now that she had found them, she wanted to go back with them?

Are children all this willful?

"Meng Meng, if you go with the Grand Ancestor, you’ll never see your parents again!" Qin Xiang said earnestly.

Meng Meng’s little face was full of conflict, torn between the sister and brother she liked and her biological parents, such a difficult choice!
