However, Qin Yun seemed to have ignored Shangguan Ying'er's words and suddenly took out an Elixir to give to the Liuli Golden Flame Lion. He raised his eyebrows proudly at Ling Mo Xie and said, "Didn’t expect this, did you? I have more than one Elixir to boost my strength. Now, I want to see what you will use to deal with the enhanced Liuli Golden Flame Lion!"
Ling Mo Xie looked at Qin Yun speechlessly. The Liuli Golden Flame Lion's expression became frenzied, and a powerful aura surged from its body. Its eyes began to turn chaotic, and its already low intelligence dropped even further under the impact of the Elixir. Now, all that filled its mind was its bloodthirsty nature.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at Qin Yun and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Is there really a need to deal with it?"
After saying that, he merely looked down at Chen Yan, who lazily yawned and said, "I didn’t expect someone would want to seek their own suffering like this."
Qin Yun naturally couldn’t understand the seemingly nonsensical conversation between Chen Yan and Ling Mo Xie. Although he felt a bit puzzled, he thought he had the upper hand and didn’t care about it. He commanded the Liuli Golden Flame Lion to charge towards Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head as he watched the Liuli Golden Flame Lion quickly come to a halt under Chen Yan's suppression. It turned around and pounced towards Qin Yun, who was stunned by the sudden stop of the Liuli Golden Flame Lion.
"Let’s go!" Ling Mo Xie said indifferently as he watched Qin Yun fleeing in panic from the pursuit of the Liuli Golden Flame Lion. He spoke to Shangguan Ying'er and Chen Yan.
This is what you call self-inflicted suffering.
If he hadn’t harbored any ill intentions towards Ling Mo Xie, not only would nothing have happened, but he could have also obtained a fine Spirit Beast. As it stands now, his life is in jeopardy.
"Is he going to be okay? That Liuli Golden Flame Lion looks so crazy," Shangguan Ying'er said with a frown, expressing her concern.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at her and replied, "Didn’t you say you disliked him? Why are you worrying about him so much? Even if he dies, it’s just because he overestimated himself by trying to capture a high-level Spirit Beast, isn’t it?"
"This... this..." Shangguan Ying'er hesitated and found herself speechless. Although she also disliked Qin Yun, she hadn’t wished for his death.
"This is his own doing; don’t think too much about it. Let’s hurry back!" Ling Mo Xie said impatiently to Shangguan Ying'er.
"Well... okay!" Shangguan Ying'er still looked worried as she spoke, prompting Ling Mo Xie to shake his head in exasperation. How could this girl, who grew up in the Cultivation World, still possess such compassion?
"Aren't you all leaving?" Seeing the youths accompanying Qin Yun still staring blankly at the sudden turn of events, Ling Mo Xie glared at them and said sternly.
"We're leaving! We're leaving right now!" Those people seemed to suddenly snap back to reality and hurriedly said as they turned around and quickly left without caring about Qin Yun being chased by the Liuli Golden Flame Lion; they probably didn’t dare to intervene either.
Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er returned to Menglan Valley. It was already night, so they each said their goodbyes and went to their rooms to rest.
As Ling Mo Xie pushed open the window, he saw a white figure flash through the night and instantly dart into his room.
"How is it? Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?" Ling Mo Xie asked, showing no surprise as he closed the window and walked over to sit at the table, addressing Bai Yunfei.
"Of course, don't you see who I am?" Bai Yunfei replied with a proud raise of his eyebrows.
After saying that, his expression turned somewhat complicated as he continued, "Boss, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Ling Mo Xie looked at him helplessly and said, "Why are you playing this boring game again? Just tell me the news directly. Is the Feng Family's background really that big?"
"Not about that!" Bai Yunfei shook his head.
Ling Mo Xie appeared somewhat surprised and exclaimed, "Then what other good or bad news could there be?"
Now it was Bai Yunfei's turn to be astonished. He looked at Ling Mo Xie in disbelief and said, "No way? Boss, have you really forgotten about Sun Xiaoxiao? Sigh, I guess I was meddling too much?"
Hearing Bai Yunfei's words, Ling Mo Xie's brows furrowed in displeasure as he said to Bai Yunfei, "What happened? She should be safe in Skywind City. Hurry up and tell me!"
Sun Xiaoxiao was left in Skywind City under the care of Old Man, so Ling Mo Xie never thought that the bad news could be related to her.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's urgency, Bai Yunfei instead took his time and chuckled, saying, "This might not necessarily be bad news for Sun Xiaoxiao."
"Stop keeping me in suspense; just say it!" Ling Mo Xie glared at Bai Yunfei, dissatisfied.
"Alright, alright, I'll say it." Bai Yunfei replied with a smile, "Sun Xiaoxiao has been taken away by someone."
"Taken away?" Ling Mo Xie's brows knitted together as he said, "What is Old Man doing? How could he let Sun Xiaoxiao be taken away? Who took her? Hurry up and tell me!"
Ling Mo Xie grew anxious and urged Bai Yunfei to speak.
Bai Yunfei merely shrugged and said, "Haven't I already mentioned? This might not necessarily be a bad thing for Sun Xiaoxiao. Besides, that person wants to take Sun Xiaoxiao away, and Old Master Ling has no reason to stop him!"
Hearing Bai Yunfei say that Sun Xiaoxiao being taken away might not be a bad thing, Ling Mo Xie felt much more at ease and stopped urging him, quietly waiting for Bai Yunfei to explain the situation in detail.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie’s calm demeanor, Bai Yunfei found it rather uninteresting and began to speak directly.
"Sun Xiaoxiao was taken away by someone who claims to be her father. This means that Sun Xiaoxiao's original father is not her biological father. Now that her real father has come back to take her away, Old Master Ling naturally has no reason to oppose it. Moreover, that person wants to take Sun Xiaoxiao away, and Old Master Ling can't stop him either."
"Oh, I see. That's good," Ling Mo Xie said, feeling relieved upon learning that Sun Xiaoxiao was taken away by her biological father. He nodded calmly.
At this point, Bai Yunfei excitedly asked Ling Mo Xie, "Boss, aren't you curious about who Sun Xiaoxiao's biological father is?"
Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei strangely and replied, "What does that have to do with me? As long as he is Sun Xiaoxiao's biological father, that's enough. Knowing she is safe is all that matters."
Bai Yunfei pouted at Ling Mo Xie's response and felt a bit deflated. He said, "Boss, you really have no curiosity at all."
"I'll tell you this: Sun Xiaoxiao's biological father is actually a Three Tribulation Loose Immortal! In the Cultivation World, that's an extremely rare existence! I dare say there isn't another one in the entire Izumo Kingdom!" Bai Yunfei began to express his amazement.
Ling Mo Xie was somewhat surprised to learn that Sun Xiaoxiao's biological father was a Scattered Immortal. A Scattered Immortal refers to someone who has cultivated to the Tribulation Period but failed to survive the lightning tribulation and ascend. They narrowly escaped with their lives; having undergone the tribulation means they possess celestial energy within them but cannot ascend to immortality due to their failure. Thus, they become a unique existence known as a Scattered Immortal.
In the Cultivation World, Scattered Immortals are nearly invincible. After all, even though they are Scattered Immortals, they still hold the title of 'immortal.' Only another Scattered Immortal can compete with them.
Scattered Immortals are even less tolerated by heaven and earth than regular Cultivators. Perhaps their overwhelming power disrupts the balance of the Cultivation World; every thousand years brings another lightning tribulation as punishment and also their only hope.
Each time they survive a lightning tribulation, Scattered Immortals become slightly stronger. If they can continue to survive nine rounds of tribulations, they can still ascend to immortality and directly become a Great Luo Golden Immortal with a place in the immortal realm!
"Then how did Sun Xiaoxiao end up lost and bullied by her adoptive father's relatives?" At this point, Ling Mo Xie expressed some dissatisfaction regarding Sun Xiaoxiao's Scattered Immortal father and asked Bai Yunfei.
"How would I know? That person is a Scattered Immortal! Such private matters are beyond my reach," Bai Yunfei looked at Ling Mo Xie as if he were an idiot and explained matter-of-factly.
Ling Mo Xie smirked and said, "Oh come on, isn't your Illusionary Void Sect's Master Ancestor able to steal treasures from immortals who come down from the immortal realm? What's going on? You keep shouting about wanting to surpass your predecessors and bring glory back to Illusionary Void Sect, yet you can't even find out about one Scattered Immortal?"
"I... I'm just not at the level of Master Ancestor yet!" Bai Yunfei defended himself.
Ling Mo Xie was just joking with him and didn't dwell on the matter, saying, "Since Sun Xiaoxiao's father is still a Scattered Immortal, she should be quite safe. What bad news could this be? Tell me your good news!"
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Bai Yunfei chuckled and said, "This isn't bad news for Sun Xiaoxiao, but for you... tsk tsk, since Sun Xiaoxiao's father is a Scattered Immortal, doesn't that mean her future husband has to be the heir of a prestigious sect?"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Bai Yunfei helplessly: "What does this have to do with me? Just tell me your good news!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's reaction, Bai Yunfei felt it was getting boring and said, "The good news is naturally about what you asked me to investigate, the background of the Feng Family. It's not that impressive, especially after you wiped out their main forces in the confrontation with Izumo Kingdom."
"Are you saying... the force behind the Feng Family is actually Feng Qian Guo?" Ling Mo Xie suddenly realized and asked Bai Yunfei in surprise.
"Yes, the surname Feng is the national surname of Feng Qian Guo. You should have figured this out long ago!"
Bai Yunfei looked at Ling Mo Xie with a hint of disdain.
Ling Mo Xie didn't respond to Bai Yunfei. He hadn't thought along those lines at all; the Feng Family was a ministerial family of Izumo Kingdom, while Feng Qian Guo was an enemy nation. The two shouldn't have any connection.
"Could it be that the Feng Family is a spy sent by Feng Qian Guo?" Ling Mo Xie said with some confusion.
"That's not the case. It is said that the Feng Family is of royal descent. They fled from Feng Qian Guo after losing their bid for the throne, and that was over a hundred years ago," Bai Yunfei said casually, showing no concern for the royal identity of the Feng Family.
