Chapter 802: The Mysterious Father

It was night time but the room of Mo Wen’s mother still lit up. There were no electric lights in the mountains, and they only had oil lamps. A small flame flickered in the darkness, illuminating the room.

Mo Wen’s mother sat on her bed holding a cup of tea. Her movements were dignified and elegant. She did not seem like a village woman at all.

There was a flash of white light outside the door. The little fox, Xiang’er, entered stealthily and jumped onto the bed. A flash of white light shone from within Xiang’er. Then, something shocking happened. The little fox Xiang’er disappeared, and a beautiful woman materialized inside the room. It was the charming woman Mo Wen had seen by the lake. The woman was Xiang’er!

“Madam, it is indeed that thing. Where did Little Master get this?” Xiang’er handed the eight trigram to Mo Wen’s mother with a somber expression on her beautiful face.

Mo Wen’s mother looked at the eight trigram in her hands and softly sighed, “This is such ill fate. Is this heaven’s will?” The eight trigram had still ended up in her son’s hands. Was this meant to be?

“Xiang’er did not expect that the item that everyone in the world seems to be searching for would end up in Little Master’s hands. This is very strange.” Xiang’er frowned slightly. She knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. Little Master should not have been able to get this item. It did not matter how he had gotten it, but it would not have been an easy matter.

“I assumed another identity and hid in the middle of nowhere. I did not interact with the outside world and only hoped that my son would be able to live a peaceful life and not take the path his father had taken. I did not expect that he would still be brought into this whirlpool,” Mo Wen’s mother said. She was clearly worried. She had not allowed Mo Wen to cultivate and concealed everything to do with his father from him because she did not want him to take the path that his father had.

She had sensed that something was different with Mo Wen as soon as he had returned home. He had not only cultivated in martial arts, but there were also many secrets he had hidden on him. That did not concern her too much, but the appearance of the Heaven and Earth trigram had shocked her.

“Madam, there is something else. Xiang’er doesn’t know if she should say something,”

Mo Wen’s mother knew what Xiang’er wanted to say the moment she opened her mouth. “Why are you saying it if you know you shouldn’t? I know. You have always objected to my sealing Little Stone and not allowing him to cultivate. But you’ve never dared to say it before.”

“Xiang’er, you have worked hard at cultivating all these years and have cultivated your strength secretly. You have always had ambition and I know why. Your character is very much like the old man. But women will still be women. I am a woman as well. Don’t all women want to have a blissful family? When I first married him, I was just like you. But the years have smoothened all the sharp edges. All those dreams and grand plans come with death and a broken family. Is that what you want?”

Mo Wen’s mother looked at the moon outside the window. The sadness in her eyes was a feeling that only a woman could understand. She would rather her son have an ordinary life. She wanted her son to live under her protection and she wanted to see him smile every day.

Xiang’er lowered her head slightly and said softly, “Madam, Xiang’er has never had aspirations in the way Master did. I don’t have any ambitions or grand dreams. I worked so hard to be able to protect Little Master to the best of my ability. Little Master is Master’s son and is Master’s only blood heir. He is destined to be extraordinary. No matter how you try to hide things from him, it will not change this fact. He will have to take on Master’s path eventually.”

“Xiang’er understands, and you understand as well, that Master was an incredible person. He never failed and never accepted defeat. Even though he has fallen, he had already made plans for the future long ago. Little Master cannot escape his fate. He is the continuation of Master’s unfulfilled wishes. Xiang’er has always been prepared and just wants to be able to help Little Master as much as possible in the future. I have long expected the Heaven and Earth trigram to appear in Little Master’s possession. Master’s plan has already started, and no one can stop it.”

Xiang’er understood her Master very well. Even though he had fallen, he definitely would have planned out Little Master’s path. Madam would not be able to stop it.

There was a loud crash.

Mo Wen’s mother slammed her hands against the table. She said angrily, “Can I not decide for my son now?! That old thing wants to torture me even when he’s dead. I’m going to dig him out of his grave.”

Xiang’er looked down, so afraid she did not dare to speak. Madam was so angry, she actually might do something like that. Little Master’s place in Madam’s heart was second to none.

“That old thing is already dead and he still wants to implicate his biological son. What kind of crap is this? I have been a widow for so many years, but he is dead and no longer has any worried. And now, he wants to take away my only son.”

Mo Wen’s mother was so angry her face was completely red. No wonder her son was completely different on his return. The old thing had done something.

“Madam, don’t be angry, Master was incredibly talented. Since he had made plans, he would have been confident about winning. Little Master is his only heir, he would not send him to his death.” Xiang’er comforted her softly. She understood her Master’s character. He would do anything to make sure his descendants would complete what he could not.

“What confidence can he have? Who was the one who was daring and energetic, filled with confidence, and thought he had the world under his feet? He still died in the end.” Mo Wen’s mother harrumphed coldly.

“The person who sent the Heaven and Earth trigram to Little Stone must definitely be following the old thing’s orders. Don’t let me find out who that person is, or I’ll skin him alive.”

She had already thought things through. Other than her and Xiang’er, only a few of the old thing’s trusted men knew of Mo Wen’s identity. The Heaven and Earth trigram belonged to the old thing. Its appearance in Little Stone’s hand must definitely have something to do with those people.

Xiang’er poked out her tongue secretly. Madam was just as fierce as she usually was.

“Madam, Little Master has inherited the Heaven and Earth trigram. Master’s plan will not end there. What shall we do next? Should we remove the seal on him?”

Madam had sealed Little Master. She had not just sealed his blood and the power he inherited from Master, but she had also sealed Little Master’s spiritual flow, which stopped him from cultivated. This was very unfair to Little Master.

“Isn’t that old thing really smart? Didn’t he plan everything? I will not do the unsealing. I want to see if he can climb out of the grave and unseal his son himself.” Mo Wen’s mother sniffed coldly.

As a mother, she did not really want to allow her son to cultivate. However, Little Stone had inherited everything from the old thing. If she did not unseal his abilities, his inheritance would explode and his aura would leak slightly. Then, the universe would be shocked, and it would bring Little Stone endless trouble.

Xiang’er laughed to herself secretly. With her Master’s ability, Madam’s seal would not last for too long. The power of her Master’s legacy would definitely break through the seal. He did not need to climb out from the grave personally. Madam knew this as well, but she just could not bring herself to say it.

“Madam, the young lady Little Master brought home seems a little out of the ordinary,” Xiang’er said with a smile.

“Xiang’er, you noticed as well?” Mo Wen’s mother smiled.

“I realized it by chance. The young lady has a really rare and unique celestial spirit. If Master had found a young lady who had a celestial spirit like her, he would have taken her and made her Little Master’s child bride.”

Xiang’er even suspected that her Master had planned the appearance of the girl with a celestial spirit. If not, then Little Master was really very lucky.

“Don’t be so humble. Regular people wouldn’t notice and if your cultivation wasn’t at the Great Path Realm, you wouldn’t be able to sense the celestial spirit. Your cultivation has improved significantly over the years. If all goes well, you will be able to enter the Eight-Tail Heavenly Fox Realm soon. You will be able to catch up with me then.”

Mo Wen’s mother was somewhat emotionally. Xiang’er’s talent was shocking. The Eight-Tail Heavenly fox was an extremely powerful existence amongst Heavenly Foxes. Xiang’er was about to catch up with the Heavenly Fox King in terms of cultivation.

“Madam, you were a famous fairy who took the world by storm. How can I compare myself to you?” Xiang’er face was slightly flushed as she knew that Madam was praising her.

“I am old and am no longer as sharp as I once was. I know that you have the talent to become a Nine-Tail Heavenly Fox. You are a rare Heavenly Fragrance Fox among Heavenly Foxes. Otherwise, the snobbish old thing would not have saved you. I was with the old thing for so many years and never saw him save anyone. It is a pity that his existence was so short-lived. If he could have waited for you to enter the Nine- Tail Heavenly Fox Realm and take power in the Demon Realm, he would not have died so young.”

Mo Wen’s mother had taken Xiang’er as her goddaughter when Mo Wen was very young. However, Xiang’er was used to addressing her as Madam and did not change her way of address.

Xiang’er laughed to herself secretly. Her Master had lived for tens and thousands of years but Madam was calling saying his life had been short. However, while Madam said that, her heart still hurt. She knew how much her Master and Madam had loved each other. Her Master’s death affected Madam greatly. Otherwise, she would not have been so adamantly against Little Master cultivating and not want him to take the same path her Master did.

“Xiang’er, go and rest. Oh right, deal with the messy powers and legacies in Little Stone’s body. He’s only been gone for a year, but so many messy things have appeared in his body.” Mo Wen’s mother waved her hand and gestured for Xiang’er to return to care for her son.

“Yes, Madam. I checked Little Master’s body closely earlier. I realize that there is a Martial Arts God’s will in his body. The Martial Arts God must have died.”

The Martial Arts God’s will was no ordinary thing. It had kept itself hidden intentionally and had almost been missed by her and Madam. If she had not checked out Little Master’s body carefully, she would not have discovered it.

Xiang’er felt rueful. She had met the Martial Arts God a few times. He was famous and was an extremely powerful figure. She could only look at him in admiration then. She had not expected that he was dead and his will had been inherited by her Little Master.
