The jade cup shattered into smithereens on the ground as Mu Chen stared at the gentle silhouette that entered the hall in utter disbelief. The slender figure had been imprinted on his heart and mind so deeply, that even though he had not seen her for many years, it still remained incomparably clear. That beautiful smile had always caused Mu Feng's heart to flutter.

All that time ago, in order to protect the infant Mu Chen, Qing Yanjing had chosen to leave quietly. One could only imagine the pain that Mu Feng had felt at that time.

During the years that he was raising Mu Chen, Mu Feng carried so much loneliness and yearning within his heart. He thought of that beautiful silhouette every night and day, but he knew how difficult it would be for them to ever be together again. Thus, he never showed those emotions or longings to Mu Chen, but his heart had been anticipating their reunion all this time.

When Mu Chen left the Northern Spiritual Realm, he promised to bring Qing Yanjing back home. However, at the time, Mu Feng had merely regarded it as a passing remark, as he knew very well the difficulty of such a task. So, when he heard that Mu Chen had brought someone back with him, he had never thought that Mu Chen had actually succeeded in fulfilling his promise!

”Xiao Qing...” Mu Feng murmured as he looked at the silhouette, his voice trembling slightly.

The figure approached, then stood in front of Mu Feng. As she looked at the weary but determined man before her, she could not help but tear up.

At that time, she had lost her way and found herself in the Hundred Spirit Continent. She was severely injured and was almost crippled.

Moreover, as she was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, the dissipating spiritual energy in her body attracted all of the spiritual beasts in the forest, which tried to gnaw at her flesh.

In her time of despair, she met Mu Feng, who carried her up without hesitation and escaped from the many spiritual beasts. Even though he was badly bruised, in that moment of life and death, he never put her down.

Although Qing Yanjing had deemed his behavior a little silly and over the top, it had moved her and caused her heart to flutter. After all, it was extremely rare that someone would be willing to lay down their life to save someone else.

”You are getting old.” Qing Yanjing said as she touched Mu Feng's face gently.

”You are still so beautiful. You haven't changed at all,” Mu Feng whispered sheepishly.

”Didn't you just say that you weren't interested in me?” Qing Yanjing smiled.

Mu Feng was at a loss for what to say as he glared at Mu Chen, who was enjoying the show. ”It's this brat's fault!” he then said.

Qing Yanjing chuckled, as she knew that Mu Feng was just feigning grouchiness good-naturedly. She stretched out her hand and held Mu Feng's big rough palm, then said, ”If it were not for Chen'er, I am afraid that I wouldn't be here. You brought Chen'er up so well. Thank you. You have lived up to what I asked you to do.”

Mu Feng also sighed. In fact, he was astonished that his son had suddenly become so powerful and had grown into a promising talent. However, he could not show his bewilderment in front of his wife, so he immediately gave a slight cough.

”Although I put in a lot of effort nurturing him, this brat also has some kind of innate talent!” Upon hearing Mu Feng's words, Mu Chen could not help but roll his eyes.

Mu Feng was embarrassed, as he saw that he was being watched by so many people. So, he quietly complained to Qing Yanjing, ”Xiao Qing, this brat is really reckless. He caused me so much trouble the moment he came back.”

In fact, he was still fearful of even more trouble looming ahead even now... What if Lord Hundred Spirit's parents arrive? How are they going to resolve this?

If things went awry, Me Feng decided that he would get Mu Chen to leave again with Qing Yanjing. Seeing him thinking so intensely, Qing Yanjing smiled and replied, ”Chen'er knows what he's doing. Let him be.”

She then glanced at Tang Qian'Er, who was beside them, and smiled gently. ”You must be Qian'Er?”

Tang Qian'Er stared at Qing Yanjing. She had never seen Mu Chen's mother before. She finally nodded at Qing Yanjing, confirming her identity. She then looked towards Mu Chen, as she did not know how to address Qing Yanjing.

”My mother's name is Qing Yanjing.” Mu Chen smiled.

”Aunt Jing,” Tang Qian'Er bowed and greeted her politely.

Qing Yanjing smiled kindly and said, ”Mu Chen told me that you both grew up together. Since you just called me Aunt Jing, I will give you a small gift.”

She took out a crystal pendant that had a small hexagonal crystal compass and was covered with mysterious runes.
