Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Choice (3)_1

After a while, Dugu Qianye arrived at a land covered in ice and snow, where the sky began to drop thick flakes of snow like goose feathers. The sudden drop in temperature made her shiver uncontrollably. She remembered what Jiang Yu had said, that the scenes within one’s sea of consciousness follow their emotions. The falling goose feather-like snow indicated that Mo Zhenting had been having a terrible time during this period.

Suddenly, a series of fragmentary scenes flashed before Dugu Qianye, showcasing the events Mo Zhenting had encountered recently.

"So Grandfather did all this in search of Mother," Dugu Qianye said with emotion.

Suddenly, an image flashed up, about the time when Dugu Qianye, at the age of five, was tested and found to lack the Phantom Power Source, and the discussion that followed between Mo Zhenting and his brothers from the Mo Family.

"Father, the Feng Family is suppressing our business again," said the fourth Mo son.

"Hmph, the Feng Family is truly bullying us to the extreme!" Mo Jian said angrily, "Father, why should we tolerate them?"

"We were indeed at fault first with the marriage alliance, but now the priority is finding your little sister. And Qianye," Mo Zhenting said seriously, sitting at the head of the great hall addressing the Mo brothers.

"The test for Qianye has finished, she lacks the Phantom Power Source and cannot cultivate Sword Qi," Mo Chi spoke up.

"In that case, take her to Qifeng City," Mo Zhenting decided Dugu Qianye’s fate with a single sentence.

"Father!"

Mo Zhenting gestured with a grand wave of his hand, stopping the rest of their words.

"Now the Feng Family is fully suppressing us, and Qiushui has no news. Being far from the Imperial Capital is the safest," Mo Zhenting said, "Whoever of you finishes your duties, go with her."

The Mo brothers then understood the intention of their father and vied with each other to go to Qifeng City. In the end, Mo Jian was the one who went.

The last image Dugu Qianye saw was Mo Zhenting gazing after the departing beast carriage, standing for a long time in the bitter wind.

"Grandfather..." Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but call out.

"Who?"

The echo of an indistinct voice suddenly traveled through the empty world.

"Grandfather!" Dugu Qianye shouted into the air, "Grandfather, where are you?"

"Who are you?" The voice became clearer, but it was still hard to pinpoint its location.

"Grandfather, it’s Qianye! Grandfather, please come out to see me!"

The snowfall grew heavier, and the entire world was nearly frozen solid. Suddenly, the snowflakes turned into sharp weapons, attacking Dugu Qianye.

"You are not Qianye! Qianye is in Qifeng City, and she cannot cultivate either! Who are you?"

"Grandfather, I really am Qianye!" Dugu Qianye struggled to say as she defended against the attack, "Grandfather, don’t you really recognize Qianye? Back then, you’d always have a stern face and say that looking at me annoyed you, that I looked like my father, but secretly you cared about me. Even though I couldn’t cultivate and was considered useless, you still wanted to give me the best living environment. Don’t you remember? When you left, you still said to me, ’It doesn’t matter how others see you, as long as you are happy.’"

The wind howled, as if the heavens and the earth had come to a standstill.

"Are you, really Qianye?" The scattered voice still carried hesitation.

"I am right here, can’t you feel our blood relation?" said Dugu Qianye.

The snow gradually stopped, and Dugu Qianye saw that a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. A faint silhouette floated above the white snow, staring at Dugu Qianye as if examining her.

"Grandfather."

An old and a young face met each other’s gaze, the elder authoritative, the younger resolute.

"Why didn’t you stay in Qifeng City? What are you doing running out here?" Mo Zhenting began by asking reproachfully.

"I came to find my mother," Dugu Qianye said.

"We will find your mother. Why didn’t you stay safely in Qifeng City and run out here instead?"

"You say you will find her, but what are you doing right now? Hiding in your sea of consciousness, not going out, forgetting about my mother and everyone in the Mo Family!" Dugu Qianye said sarcastically.

"Impudence!" Mo Zhenting became enraged by Dugu Qianye’s words, and the wind picked up once again, the snow on the ground swirling into the air.

"Heh, that line isn’t something new to me. The old bastard of the Feng Family said it to me, the people of the Divine Temple said it, and all those who wish to kill me like to say it. Yelling at me like that is useless now!" Dugu Qianye chuckled.

"People who want to kill you?" Mo Zhenting seized the phrase, anger notwithstanding, he couldn’t help but ask, "Who dares to kill you? Who dares to kill the granddaughter of Mo Zhenting!"

"There are too many who want to kill me out there, if not a hundred, at least eighty," Dugu Qianye said. "Often a group of people would surround me and shout at me, threatening to beat and kill me. You don’t know. When I say I am the granddaughter of Mo Zhenting, you dare to lay a hand on me? Then they reply, ’Who is Mo Zhenting? Never heard of him.’ And they continue to attack me. You know me, I can’t cultivate Phantom Power and Sword Qi, so I can only be bullied and beaten until I’m covered with wounds, and several times I nearly died. You say you are going to find mother, but you allow her daughter to be bullied by others. Right, the Mo Family is also about to fall now, that old bastard from the Feng Family said you were gone, and they called out their ancestor. At this rate, they’re probably close to being exterminated. You see, you’re here comfortably asleep, while we’re out there being bullied..."

Dugu Qianye kept talking without stop, well, although the truth was somewhat twisted, Jiang Yu had told her before to stir up Mo Zhenting’s emotions as much as possible, because that was the only way to give him a chance to enter Mo Zhenting’s brain. His previous failure was due to Mo Zhenting having slept too long and his sea of consciousness being too calm, with no cracks to let him in.

Mo Zhenting listened to Dugu Qianye’s fabrications growing increasingly angry. If before he was merely angry with Dugu Qianye, now he was furious, and his rage deepened with Dugu Qianye’s every word. The storm in the sea of consciousness became more intense, and Dugu Qianye could barely see the figure in front of her, faintly feeling a power erupting from Mo Zhenting, a force that nearly tore her apart. She hurried away, using her arms to block the wind and snow in front of her, trying to establish contact with Jiang Yu. Perhaps because the sea of consciousness was too tumultuous, she tried several times without success.

Gradually, an ice and snowstorm formed around Mo Zhenting, the vortex growing larger, drawing in and shredding everything around it. Dugu Qianye felt the pull getting stronger, and she was close to not being able to hold on. If she were to be torn apart, although it was only her consciousness, she would also become an idiot in reality.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu looked at the woman sitting cross-legged on the bed, hesitating, struggling. He heard Dugu Qianye’s call, but did not move to bring her out. He could sense her situation inside, but if her consciousness shattered, then would he be able to regain his freedom?

He was a Phantom Stone from ancient times, apart from the Chaos Heavenly Bead, the most noble among stones, existing between heaven and earth for millions of years, and now he had to submit to a teenage girl, to be ordered and commanded by her. How could he be willing?!
