Father and Son

"Brother... I heard that the Cloud City Saint Lord is coming, it's quite far away," He Yunting's voice sounded as he entered the main hall. He Yunting frowned, sensing the strange atmosphere in the room. Especially when he saw Su Xin in Mu Yunxuan's arms, his heart was overwhelmed with questions.

"Uncle He, please attend to other matters for now. Que'er will handle things here, and no one should enter without my orders," Su Li said, wanting to resolve the matter quickly to prevent her mother from becoming suspicious in the future.

"Alright!" He Yunting trusted Su Li's capabilities and nodded at Mu Yun and Mu Yunxuan before leaving with lingering doubts.

"Step aside," Su Li commanded Su Qi after He Yunting left.

"Brother..." Su Qi helplessly called out, realizing that his brother was still in a bad mood. He reluctantly moved aside.

"Do you think you've defeated Honza?" Mu Yunxuan spoke lazily, surprised to find that Li'er's temper was just the same as when they were children.

"Do you think you can leave Bright Moon Villa?" His tone carried an arrogant and domineering air.

"Big brother, could you just say a few gentle words?" Mu Yunhan tried to mediate. He was also eager to figure out the current situation. How did these three children suddenly appear?

Mu Yunxuan remained unmoved. "Even as one of the legendary Twelve Evils of Death, I am not afraid. I am invincible," he replied with the same arrogance.

"Uncle, thank you for accompanying Xin'er today. Xin'er had a great time," Su Xin sweetly expressed her gratitude. However, Mu Yunxuan frowned slightly, visibly disliking being referred to as "uncle."

Su Xin smiled and stepped down from Mu Yunxuan's embrace. She walked to Su Li's side, taking her hand.

"Brother, please let uncle and the others leave now," Su Xin pleaded with a soft, sticky voice, melting Su Li's heart.

"Xin'er..." Su Li began, but her emotions were still running high. She stopped herself, realizing that there were many things Xin'er didn't know.

"Forget it for now. If you still have a conscience, please don't disturb the lives of me and my son in the future, especially my mother. I don't want her to be hurt because of you," Su Li stated firmly, avoiding further discussion.

"I won't give up so easily. The children of Mu Yunxuan must return to the Mu family," Mu Yunxuan remained resolute, his tone carrying an unwavering determination.

"Big brother, can't you soften your tone a bit?" Mu Yunhan glared at Mu Yunxuan, seeing the resemblance in temperament between father and son.

"Qi'er, here are three silver grass plants. Take them and refine the elixir for Xin'er. If you run out, I will send more to you," Mu Yunhan offered the prepared silver grass to Su Qi. He had brought it along, and these three plants were exceptions this year, not intended for sale.

"No need, Uncle. Mother has already gone to the Mountain of No Return to find silver grass. If she finds out that this is the silver grass given by you, she will be angry," Su Xin immediately declined. She didn't want her mother to think she had betrayed her, as she clearly remembered her mother's words about trust and the fear of pain, betrayal, and coldness after warmth. Gratitude was a lesson she had learned long ago.

Worry flickered in Mu Yunxuan's eyes upon hearing that Su Li went to the Mountain of No Return. That woman was fearless and would go anywhere.

Su Li and Su Qi also showed concern.

Mu Yunxuan approached Su Xin, his tall figure squatting down in front of her.

Looking at Su Xin with a pained expression, he said, "Xin'er, it's okay if you don't call me daddy. Daddy doesn't blame you. But must you reject Daddy's wishes as well?"

"I'm sorry, Uncle. Until my mother forgives you, I can't accept anything from you. I can already feel what Uncle's heart desires, and I will remember it," Su Xin lowered her eyes, guilt evident on her beautiful face. She longed for a complete family, hoping to see her mother happy. However, in front of her, her mother despised her father, and nothing else mattered.

"Rest well, Xin'er. Daddy will come to see you often," Mu Yunxuan got up, looked at Su Qi, and then at Su Li.

"Yunhan, let's go."

Mu Yunxuan walked away, his steps heavy, but emotions unknown. He had obtained the answer he sought, and his mood wasn't heavy, but rather filled with happiness.

With their departure, Su Li didn't have time to process everything.

"Xin'er, how did you know that Mother went to the Mountain of No Return?"

"At noon, when Uncle Liu went to find Mother, she said she went there with Liuxiao and would return before dark."

"Brother, should we go after Mother?"

Su Qi grew anxious. Not just anyone could freely enter and exit the Mountain of No Return. He regretted not collecting the three silver grass plants earlier.

"No need. If Mother went with Liuxiao, then we shouldn't worry. Qi'er, stay with Xin'er. I have something to attend to," Su Qi said calmly before stepping out.

Outside the gates of Bright Moon Villa, Mu Yunxuan remained silent, his head still lowered. Mu Yunhan couldn't help but ask, "What now, big brother? After all, they carry the bloodline of the Mu family. We can't leave them outside indefinitely. We must find a solution quickly."

Mu Yunxuan suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Yunhan with a serious gaze. "Yunhan, you must not mention this matter to anyone, not even Father. I don't want to hurt them, the mother and son, once again."

"What do you mean, big brother?" Mu Yunhan inquired, confused.

"Yunhan, just understand! You can see Li'er's stance, and at such a young age, it's already difficult for him," Mu Yunxuan exhaled deeply. The heavens had treated him, Mu Yunxuan, well, and he was truly grateful. Su Zimo was truly alive.
