No hope for eternal life

Chapter 141 Guidance

Mu Xun suddenly looked up, opened his mouth slightly, and was speechless for a moment. He had never thought that his adoptive father had a family, nor had he ever thought that his adoptive father was so hidden. If his wife was so powerful, how powerful must his adoptive father be.

Mo Lianyue said with a smile: "You should call me stepmother, but I don't like that name. It sounds better than mother. I don't have any children, so this can satisfy my wish to be a mother."

For some reason, when Mu Xun heard Mo Lianyue say that she had no children, he felt relieved. Then, Mu Xun tremblingly called out those two words: "Mother."

"Hey." Mo Lianyue responded, and then patted Mu Xun's head and said lovingly: "I have been in seclusion in the Heavenly Spirit Realm before, so I came a little late. I know your father is not good at taking care of people, and I am sorry that you have suffered."

The reversal was so drastic that Mu Changsheng, who was standing aside, felt like he was struck by lightning. He stared at Mo Lianyue and Mu Xun in a daze. Some doubts in his heart were also resolved. Now it seems that Mu Xun's swordsmanship may have come from Mu Qunxian. He had previously thought that it was a result of chance.

The two golden-armored guards were as shocked as Mu Changsheng, especially the one who betrayed Mu Changsheng right at the beginning. He was very nervous, fearing that he would be burned to death by Mo Lianyue like Song Zhi.

Mo Lianyue talked to Mu Xun for a long time, then turned around and looked at the two golden-armored guards, pointed at one of them and said, "Song Zhi is dead, you go back and report, and by the way, send that Sha Tongmo to Shen Xu's house, and tell Shen Xu for me: forget it this time, but if I find him doing it again, Sha Tongmo's fate will be his fate, and no one can save him."

The one that Mo Lianyue had called out was the nervous golden-armored guard. At this moment, he felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly said, "As you command, I will convey your original words."

After saying this, the golden-armored guard lifted up the mute Shatongmo and turned away.

Then, Mo Lianyue looked at the remaining golden-armored guard and said, "You have your guarding mission, do what you should do, and we will not interfere with each other."

"Junior understands. After returning, I will say what I should say and not say what I shouldn't say." The upright golden-armored guard said with a fist clasped. He was also quite tactful. There was naturally no need to conceal the matter between Song Zhi and Sha Tongmo, but there was no need to say more about the relationship between Mu Xun and Mo Lianyue.

Seeing this, Mo Lianyue nodded with satisfaction, and finally looked at Mu Changsheng, smiling and said: "I have seen your palace examination, and I would like to thank you for helping Mu Xun at the last minute, otherwise the result would be hard to say."

"These are what the younger generation should do." Mu Changsheng said modestly.

“Don’t call me junior or senior anymore. Just call me Aunt Mo from now on.” Mo Lianyue said with a smile.

Mu Changsheng followed suit and immediately changed his words to "Auntie Demon."

Mo Lianyue's eyebrows curved when she heard this, and she immediately said: "Let's go home."

As he spoke, Mo Lianyue, along with Mu Xun, Mu Changsheng and the golden-armored guards, walked in the air towards the setting sun, but their speed was not very fast, it was more like they were strolling in the garden.

While flying in the air, Mo Lianyue asked Mu Changsheng and the other two: "The three of you should help me think about why I didn't hold Shen Xu accountable for his fault."

After hearing this, the three of them fell into deep thought, probably wanting to give an accurate answer. In the end, Mo Lianyue called on him and said, "Xiao Changsheng, this matter is related to you, you go first."

Mu Changsheng immediately replied: "As the saying goes: Don't judge by the monk, judge by the Buddha. After all, Shen Xu is the Duke of Shenfeng Country, and he is the right-hand man of the king. Even for the sake of the king's face, we should give him a chance."

Mo Lianyue did not comment and continued to call out names, "Palace guard, what about you? Come to think of it, I don't even know your name?"

"Junior Chen Li." Chen Li first gave his name, and then expressed his thoughts: "Not long ago, our Shenfeng country has switched to Lingshan Sect. I think you should know about this, so there should be some face from Lingshan Sect involved."

Chen Xuanli is worthy of being a palace guard, he knows a lot of things.

"Xun'er, what about you?" Mo Lianyue asked again.

Mu Xun, however, took a different approach and said, "I heard that cultivators above the Spiritual Transformation Realm must rely on the power of top-grade spirit stones to break through. Shen Xu must have consumed a lot of top-grade spirit stones to be able to cultivate to that level. If we destroy him, wouldn't it be a waste of the top-grade spirit stones he used? Keeping him can also help the human race."

Mo Lianyue seemed to be satisfied with this, nodded slightly and said: "The answers from the three of you combined are almost enough."

Then, Mo Lianyue said to Mu Xun: "Lend me your sword."

Mu Xun immediately handed the black sword in his hand to Mo Lianyue.

Mo Lianyue slowly drew her sword from its sheath and said, "I have a sword. The three of you should take a closer look. It may be helpful."

When Mu Changsheng and the other two heard this, they instantly realized that Mo Lianyue was trying to give them some advice. They all opened their eyes wide, not wanting to miss it.

Afterwards, Mo Lianyue faced the setting sun and slashed slowly from bottom to top with the sword. There was no majestic momentum bursting out, but the sunset glow in the sky was instantly cut apart like a piece of paper. The cut mark went straight after the setting sun and spread to the invisible horizon.

It was clearly a sword strike, but in Mu Changsheng's eyes, it was like a punch, and the target was the setting sun in the sky. All the power of this punch was concentrated at one point, so it looked like a sword strike.

This sword made Mu Changsheng mesmerized. When he felt the fist intent on the stone tablet in the villa before, he always felt that he lacked the sense of power, but now he truly felt the sense of power.

But in Mu Xun's eyes, this sword was just a sword. The sword energy and sword meaning were perfectly combined to the extreme, making him unable to take his eyes away and intoxicated by it.

On the other hand, the sword turned into a flame in Chen Li's eyes, because he was practicing the way of fire.

"Opportunity, a huge opportunity." Chen Xuanli's heart was trembling. He had noticed a long time ago that Mo Lianyue had been using the way of fire to deal with Sha Tongmo and Song Zhi. In other words, Mo Lianyue's best skill should be the way of fire, which just happened to fit him. That's why he was so excited. At this moment, he was like seeing the great way!

At the same time, in Qingliu Town, Yang Wuque seemed to have sensed something. He walked out of the room, looked up at the sky, and also saw the cut mark between the sunset in the sky.

"Such a strong...fist intention." Yang Wuque's eyes focused and he realized something. It was clearly a sword, but he saw fist intention in it, which meant that the person who wielded the sword was at a very high level.

"Counting the days, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun should be back." Yang Wuque thought to himself, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

Next to Mu Changsheng's house, in the sword-forging shop, Mu Qun first looked up at the sword marks in the sky, then continued to forge swords with his head down.

In Qin Mingyuan's courtyard, Qin Mingyuan also saw the sword marks in the sky, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are here too, this town is really lively."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Changsheng slowly came back to his senses and clenched his hands again and again.

"If you want to punch, just punch." Mo Lianyue reminded from the side.

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng was free from his restraints and punched with all his strength at the sunset in the sky, also cutting a piece of the sunset, but it was not as far as the one cut by Mo Lianyue's sword.

"Yes, your boxing spirit is so condensed, which is rare at your age." Mo Lianyue commented.

"I would also like to thank Aunt Mo for her guidance." Mu Changsheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude. This was definitely a major enlightenment for him.

Mo Lianyue shook her head slightly: "Among the three ways of fire, sword, and body refining, I am least good at the way of body refining, so I can only help you up to this point."

At this time, Mu Xun and Chen Xuanli were still immersed in the artistic conception, and their understanding was obviously deeper.

While Mu Xun was still in a trance, Mo Lianyue said to Mu Changsheng: "Mu Xun is a bit introverted, so I'll have to rely on you to guide him in the future."

"Junior understands." Mu Changsheng nodded in response.
