"I disagree."
"Why?"
"With the way you look, it’s clear that there will be no shortage of trouble in the future. Those flirtatious women will only bring grief to my daughter."
Dugu Yixuan stared at Zi Xiao, their gazes meeting in mid-air, on the verge of sparking a great battle.
"What are you two doing?" Dugu Qianye walked in, only to see the two men looking as if they were at loggerheads, and turned to Hao Pengyou to ask.
"Cough cough, it’s nothing, it’s just a man’s war," Hao Pengyou feigned a cough, and the two men simultaneously withdrew their stares.
"Oh." Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "Dinner is ready, let’s eat."
"Alright." Dugu Yixuan was looking forward to it, it was the first meal cooked by his own daughter, after all!
Dugu Qianye took Dugu Yixuan by the arm and led him to the kitchen. As they walked past Zi Xiao, Dugu Yixuan cast a triumphant glance at him.
He had long realized that his daughter was not particularly fond of him, but he still had to be cautious, lest those peach blossom eyes unwittingly captivated his daughter’s soul.
Since Dugu Yixuan’s health was not very good, Dugu Qianye had prepared foods that were comparatively light, with a well-balanced mix of meat and veggies that looked appetizing.
Dugu Qianye served rice to Dugu Yixuan and also picked vegetables for him, warming his heart.
"Dad, after we eat, I will take you to meet grandpa and the uncles," said Dugu Qianye.
"Uh, to meet your grandpa?" Dugu Yixuan became nervous upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words.
"Yeah, grandpa and the others heard that you were coming back and they all wanted to see you." Dugu Qianye said.
"Uh, alright," Dugu Yixuan replied.
Hao Pengyou and Zi Xiao had the look of wanting to laugh but not daring to, which puzzled Dugu Qianye. Of course, she didn’t know that Dugu Yixuan had just been criticizing Zi Xiao and was now about to meet his own father-in-law, who would surely scrutinize him just as well.
Is this what they call the wheel of fortune turning?
After the meal, Dugu Qianye took Dugu Yixuan and the others to the Refining Demon Pot. When they entered, the Mo Family had already finished their training and were waiting inside. As soon as Dugu Yixuan entered, before he even had the chance to observe his surroundings, he felt several gazes fall upon him.
"Grandpa, first uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle," Dugu Qianye greeted them respectfully, while simultaneously introducing them to Dugu Yixuan.
"Father-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother," Dugu Yixuan followed Dugu Qianye in greeting them.
"Hmm." It took a while before Mo Zhenting responded tersely.
"So, this is our brother-in-law? Qianye has grown so much, and we finally get to meet her father," Mo Lao San remarked loudly as he looked at Dugu Yixuan.
This was the first time Dugu Yixuan met the Mo Family. Due to his special identity and the disapproval of the Mo Family, Mo Qiushui had eloped with him without ever bringing him back. Remembering the hardships his sister went through for his sake, he could not help but feel resentful when he looked at him.
"Back then, Yixuan was unaware of many things. I ask for forgiveness from my father-in-law and brothers. I apologize once again," Dugu Yixuan said before kneeling before Mo Zhenting and the others.
Indeed, what I did back then was improper. Now that I think about it, if my daughter and son-in-law were to act in such a manner, I certainly wouldn’t be able to accept it either. Moreover, I’ve heard from Dugu Qianye about the hardships the Mo Family faced because of me. If it weren’t for Dugu Qianye’s return, the Mo Family might have been devoured by the Feng Family long ago.
The most crucial matter is that Mo Qiushui, because of me, is still missing, and I do not know what sufferings she’s enduring!
Upon seeing Dugu Yixuan kneeling, the Mo Family members felt their anger subside slightly as they watched him maintain his pride even in such a submissive posture.
"Stand up," Mo Zhenting said. "I didn’t ask you here to dwell on who was right or wrong all those years ago. It’s just that your actions back then were indeed infuriating."
"Yes, yes, I am aware of my mistake," Dugu Yixuan hurriedly agreed.
Hao Pengyou and Zi Xiao were watching from the side. Hao Pengyou nudged Zi Xiao with his hand and said, "Don’t you find this quite amusing?"
Zi Xiao glanced at him indifferently and said, "You try it."
"I’d better not, even you lot need to hold your tongues in front of your father-in-law! All of you are such proud individuals, yet still have to humble yourselves in his presence!"
After talking with Mo Zhenting for a while, Dugu Qianye took Dugu Yixuan for a tour around inside the Refining Demon Pot. There were various Spirit Fruits all over the mountains, precious medicinal herbs in the fields, and numerous Spiritual Beasts chasing each other around.
"This place has a really nice environment, with dense spiritual power; it’s a good place for cultivation," Dugu Yixuan remarked with a sigh.
"Time flows slower here compared to the outside world. Although cultivation here progresses swiftly, there is far too little contact with the outside. My grandparents and the others are not strong enough yet. Once their power increases, I will let them live outside," Dugu Qianye explained.
"Have you ever thought about creating a small world here?" Dugu Yixuan asked, looking at the small city built by the Dark Clan in the distance. "Allow more people to come in and form a separate world, like what they are doing, constructing houses and cities."
"I haven’t thought about that. I once wondered about the Creator God’s purpose in creating the ancient ten Divine Artifacts. She created the entire world, so why bother creating a Refining Demon Pot?" Dugu Qianye questioned.
"In the vastness of the universe, everything that exists has its purpose. Perhaps you cannot understand it now, but one day you will," Dugu Yixuan said. "Let nature take its course."
Dugu Qianye nodded. She didn’t really mind it, it was just a thought that had suddenly occurred to her while comprehending the Dao of Heaven.
"My lord."
As Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao were preparing to leave, Fu Shang called out to Dugu Qianye from a distant mountaintop. This was the first time Fu Shang had actively called out to her. She told Dugu Yixuan to look around on his own and leapt to Dandan’s side.
"Shang, you called for me?" Dugu Qianye asked while placing her hand on the peculiar egg, infusing it with Chaotic Power.
"Yes," a deep voice replied. "Please finish up the matters of the Yuling Continent swiftly, and head to Fengwu Continent."
"The Fengwu Continent? What for?" Dugu Qianye inquired.
"The Vermilion Bird has died, and with it, the Divine Fire has been extinguished. Xiaohuo must evolve into the Vermilion Bird for the balance of the four divine beasts, and Yan must evolve into the true Divine Fire to light up the world." There was a hint of sorrow in Fu Shang’s words.
"So why must we go to the Fengwu Continent?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"I feel that the Evolution Light left behind by the Vermilion Bird is about to vanish, so you must complete the evolution before that happens," Fu Shang explained.
Well, she wanted to ask how he could possibly feel that, but after thinking it over, she decided not to ask that question, choosing to ask another instead. "How much time is left?"
