Chapter 388: Chapter 357 Portrait_1

Xu Mu hid in the shadows, watching Xu Tiantian pack up her stall and depart.

This time he did not follow those insignificant lower-level cultivators. Instead, he transformed himself into an invisible state, watching Xu Tiantian every day.

At first, nothing abnormal occurred. Xu Tiantian was either healing people or cultivating in the Palace of Pure Heart. Occasionally, she would go sightseeing, pretty much like any ordinary cultivator.

Watching her like this for two or three months, just as Feng Luan’s Golden Pill celebration banquet was about to begin, if Xu Tiantian wasn’t his daughter, he might not have been able to resist using the Soul-Searching Technique directly on her.

Fortunately, heaven doesn’t fail those who try. Finally, there was a clue.

On this day, as usual, Xu Tiantian saw the last patient, and it was already completely dark. She controlled her magic artifact and flew towards the Palace of Pure Heart.

Over the dark sea, the moonlight cast a silver glow, forming shimmering reflections.

Xu Tiantian, dressed in white, was like a fairy soaring from the heavens.

A wisp of blue smoke silently followed her, entering the formation of the Palace of Pure Heart.

Like always, after washing up, Xu Tiantian sat on a cushion and meditated. At her level, unless there was a special need, she preferred to restore her energy through meditation rather than sleep.

After who knows how long, Xu Tiantian suddenly opened her eyes. She then stood up and fetched the candles, sitting down in front of a portrait with her eyes closed, enveloped in a calm aura that looked like simple meditation.

The mural on the wall was a portrait of a woman—soft lines, elegance, and purity.

It was none other than Xu Tiantian herself.

The portrait seemed to be a gift from an admirer. Xu Tiantian had extraordinary talent and good looks, and it was normal for her to have admirers, more than one, in fact.

Xu Mu had seen this portrait before—the possessions in Xu Tiantian’s domicile had been examined more than once by his Divine Intent and found to be normal without any exceptions.

This very thing was what baffled him.

It would be understandable for those patients, driven by gratitude, to venerate Xu Tiantian’s portrait.

But Xu Tiantian meditating on her portrait was too strange.

Even someone with narcissism would rely on a mirror, not a portrait gifted by someone else.

Could it be that she was fond of the boy who had spoken?

Her father’s heart pounded in his chest.

But that shouldn’t be the case!

He wasn’t a man of old-fashioned thinking, nor did he interfere in the love affairs of his children or prioritize backgrounds.

If Xu Tiantian was indeed fond of someone, she only needed to tell him. Mo Wuxin wouldn’t be too concerned with such matters either, since Xu Tiantian was no longer a child.

But if she didn’t like anyone, then why would she meditate with this ordinary painting?

Suddenly a doubt surged in Xu Mu’s mind, but he didn’t immediately reveal himself.

If Xu Tiantian didn’t want him to know, pushing her wouldn’t help unless he used Soul Searching. But doing so could harm their harmony as a family and damage her soul.

That’s why he hadn’t used it so far.

In regards to the bewitched souls technique, whether it could work or not was aside the point. Even if it did work, the consequences wouldn’t be much different.

The best course of action would still be to resolve it without Xu Tiantian’s knowledge.

Xu Tiantian did not meditate for long, about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. She then returned to the bed and lay down to rest.

Looking at Xu Tiantian, who had fallen asleep, Xu Mu became more bewildered.
