Mu Family

Shortly after Tang Xiao left, a mature woman with waist-length light blue hair landed in the alley from the sky. She had clear, light blue-slanted eyes combined with thin eyebrows and long eyelashes; her nose was a bit sharp; and her sensual lips were covered by red lipstick. Her appearance looks charming and elegant in a loose turquoise strapless dress, which emphasizes the beauty of her perfect curves and smooth skin, and her figure is quite tall with a slender neck and long legs.

"There was a cultivator who had just used Fire Qi in this place, but judging from the traces of Qi in this place, that person was clearly a rookie cultivator." The woman muttered to herself while paying attention to the surrounding area, and she discovered burn marks on the ground. "Whoever did it, that person killed ordinary people so cruelly, and that person even burned their bodies until nothing was left."

Before long, a young girl landed beside the mature woman, and she was panting heavily. From her stature, she looks to be around 17 years old, and her face is very similar to the woman's, but her light blue hair is chin short. Unlike the woman who wore a dress like an old-fashioned dress, the girl wore a v-neck sleeveless shirt, combined with mini jeans and long boots.

"Why are you flying in such a hurry to a rotten place like this, Mom?" The young girl asked as she tried to catch her breath.

The woman turned to the young girl and shook her head. "You are too lazy with your cultivation, so you are so tired from chasing me, Mu Yan. After we return from your grandfather's house, I will train you even harder than before, so you have to prepare yourself well."

"No! I don't want to, Mom! I'm tired because you keep forcing me to train and train!" Mu Yan shouted as she shuddered, especially since the training her mother gave her was always too harsh.

The woman chuckled at her daughter's complaint, but she then grabbed her shoulder and took her flying into the sky. "Let's go; your grandfather must be waiting for us now."

Xiang Ning and the others had arrived at the prison, and Yao Yao immediately hugged her father, who looked tired after undergoing such a long interrogation. "What really happened, Dad? Why did the situation become like this?"

"I'm sorry, Yao'er." Yao Wei replied with a regretful sigh and hugged her daughter back. "I don't know the identity of the person who did all this to us, and I also don't know the person's purpose for doing it, but your mother and aunt are right that I have fallen into poverty now."

"It's okay, Dad." Yao Yao then released her hug from Yao Wei. "Even though our family has fallen, I don't care about our wealth, so you don't need to feel guilty towards me. The most important thing for me is your condition and health, and I will help you rebuild everything from scratch again after you get out of prison."

However, Yao Wei's expression looks increasingly guilty because he is not sure that he will be able to get out of prison with the various accusations leveled at him, especially regarding his involvement in Tang Ye's murder.

"Anyway, where is my brother? He's usually the most excited about my return, but he didn't pick me up at the airport."

Yao Wei turned to his ex-wife, but Xiang Ning shook her head because she had not told their daughter about their son's situation, so he explained directly to their daughter. "Yao'er, your brother has disappeared for several days, and I still haven't been able to find him."

"Huh?" Yao Yao looked at her parents in shock. "How could my brother disappear? Moreover, there are so many CCTVs all over the city, so the police should be able to find him easily."

Yao Wei sighed heavily before telling her again. "We have checked all the CCTVs in this city, and he was last seen in the parking lot near the Hawker Center, but none of the footage shows your brother's location after that."

"That's weird." Yao Yao muttered with a frown. "Is my brother facing a serious problem, and he ran away because of that?"

"I think so too, but I don't know what kind of problem he's facing, so we can only find out the answer after we find your brother." Yao Wei still wanted to have a long talk with his daughter, but a police officer said that their time was up and he would take him back to his cell room. "Yao'er, I can't accompany you, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you, so I want you to stay with your mother, or that mysterious person will target you."

"I know, Dad." Before the police took Yao Wei away, Yao Yao gave him another hug, and she then left the prison with the others.

Tang Xiao was already inside the ark with his big sister, especially since Xiao Meng was monitoring their house, so he didn't want to go back to their house. Otherwise, she would know that he was still alive, and that would make it difficult for him to carry out his revenge.

"Thank you, Xiao'er." Tang Yin felt happy after Tang Xiao gave her a bouquet of white roses, but she immediately spoke to him in a worried tone. "I still didn't expect that there were cultivators working within the police force, and they were much stronger than us. Even though you used a disguise, I was afraid that they would be able to recognize you, so it would be better if you didn't come home for the time being; even Aunt Yuan has decided to stay at her apartment to avoid their suspicions."

"I know; that's why I asked you to come in here, so they wouldn't be able to find me." Tang Xiao then lifted and sat his big sister at the table, and he planted a short kiss on her lips. "Do you really want to go with me to kill Yao Wei?"

"Yes." Tang Yin answered as she put her arms around Tang Xiao's neck. "If you kill Yao Wei now, people will be suspicious of his death, and the two women will be even more suspicious of you, so it would be better if we avoided that. However, I have a way to make his death look natural, and people won't suspect that we killed him."

"Oh? How can you do that?"

"Hehe." Tang Yin chuckled and used her demon form, and she summoned the grim reaper. "At first, I still don't know about this creature's abilities, but I've analyzed them before, and it can kill a person without harming them because it will only attack their soul and not their body, so Yao Wei's death will be very natural. As for the other summons, I can't use them now, and some of them require higher cultivation to summon them."

Tang Xiao himself knew that there was such a sub-technique in the calamity of darkness technique, but he didn't know the details because he couldn't learn the technique, so he was really surprised that Tang Yin's summons could do such a thing. "That's good; I'll take you to prison later, and you can kill Yao Wei using that creature. However, we'll wait for midnight to do that, and I want to dual-cultivate with you first, especially since the cultivators are starting to lay their eyes on us, so we have to become stronger as quickly as possible."

Tang Yin certainly didn't mind that, and she was actually looking forward to it, so she canceled her summons and returned to her human form. However, she suddenly remembered something and took out two red documents and handed them to Tang Xiao, surprising him a bit. "These are your marriage certificates with Xing Xing, so you two are officially husband and wife now, and you can give her one. I'm sure that she will be overjoyed after seeing it, and you can dual-cultivate with her as soon as possible, so your cultivation will improve faster with the two of us by your side."

"I didn't expect that you had already asked Xiao Ai to register our marriage." Tang Xiao said as he kept both of them. "Honestly, I can't wait to dual-cultivate with Xing Xing, but I'll wait for some time before doing it with her, especially since I don't know yet whether she's ready to do it or not."

"I know." After that, Tang Yin closed his eyes and kissed Tang Xiao, and they began to enjoy their time together before dual-cultivating.

Two women had arrived in the sky above an old wooden house, but the house still looked very big, and the area of the house was also very spacious. Seeing the old man who was practicing Tai Chi in the back garden, Mu Yan immediately dove towards him as she called out. "Grandpa! I miss you so much!"

Hearing that, the old man looked up at the sky and spread his arms to welcome his granddaughter, and Mu Yan immediately hugged him while rubbing her face against his chest, making him smile amusedly by her behavior. "You're still as childish as ever, Yan'er. How about your cultivation? Are you cultivating diligently?"

"Haha." Instead, Mu Yan responded to her grandfather's question with an awkward laugh, which made the old man sigh heavily.

"Father." The mature woman greeted him as she landed in front of them.

The old man was Mu Lin, head of the Mu family, and he then asked his daughter. "How are you, Qingge?"

"I'm fine, Father. It's just that the situation on Earth II is hectic right now, so I came here ahead of schedule to tell you about this matter." Mu Qingge replied with a low sigh.

Mu Lin raised his eyebrows upon hearing that, especially since his daughter's expression also looked serious. "What exactly happened there?"

Mu Qingge sighed again before explaining it to his father. "Old Man Tian had a vision that the barrier between Earth and Earth II was broken by someone, which made the situation quite chaotic as those people were busy searching for the person's identity blindly."

"That foolish old man! He shouldn't have to reveal that matter to the public." Mu Lin cursed before speaking to his daughter. "Anyway, you don't need to join them, Qingge. I've known Old Man Tian for a long time, but none of his visions have ever come true, and breaking the barrier between Earth and Earth II is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my lifetime; even Long Yin will never be able to do it."

"I know, Father." Mu Qingge replied with a nod. "Anyway, while we were on our way here, I discovered a trace of a cultivator's killing of ordinary people, so I decided to go there to check it out. Based on the trace of the qi, I was sure that the person was a cultivator at beginner level because his qi was still too weak, and that person used a fire element to kill them."

"Hmm?" Mu Lin fell into thought for some time. "You don't need to think about that person, Qingge. If the culprit is indeed a rookie cultivator, I'm sure that it might have happened due to personal matters between them."

"But father-"

Mu Lin hastily stopped his daughter. "Don't be so meddlesome, Qingge. Ordinary people, or cultivators, have their own problems, so you don't have to meddle in their affairs. However, if that person is a cold-blooded killer and kills more ordinary humans, then I will take action against that person."

Mu Qingge nodded resignedly. "I understand, Father."

"Let's go inside." Mu Lin then led the two women into the house. "Yan'er, I want to hear your progress in recent times, so you have to tell me everything."
