First must've been a mystery, but Mo Xie, he's not dumb to not have noticed it. First is with Shang Ting, when the two of them had done something, he managed to break through and... Aiqing was born!
Now, when Tanya and he did it, another one was born, and, not only does she resembles Tanya's features, even her personality is alike.
He didn't know what to say, so he just closed his eyes and sat down.
'So... if I marry more women... a hundred of them... I'll be able to grow a hundred children as well...?!' That is what he thought.
Shuangqing sighed: "Ba ba, certain conditions need to be met, no such inconvenient thing exists."
Mo Xie opened his eyes and looked at her, still sticking to him like a koala.
Shuangqing nodded her head: "Yes, both big sister Aiqing and I can hear your thoughts... only if we're attached to you."
Mo Xie asked: "What conditions?"
Shuangqing shrugged: "I dunno, meh, I don't really understand much, but I was born when something clicked."
"Something... clicked..." Mo Xie sighed, he'd at least like to gain more knowledge of his own power.
"Then your mother is-" He asked, but Shuangqing immediately answered: "Yes, Ma ma Tanya."
Mo Xie sighed, he stood up, stored all of the remaining earth vein and spirit stones: "Do you want to meet your mothers?"
"Un." Shuangqing replied coldly.
Mo Xie looked at her: "You want to walk on your own?"
She immediately shook her head.
Mo Xie chuckled and patted her head before walking out.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the kitchen.
Both Tanya and Shang Ting looked at Mo Xie speechlessly and confused.
Mo Xie smiled at them: "This is Shuangqing, Aiqing's little sister."
"Also, Tanya's daughter."
"....." The two remained silent for a while.
Mo Xie knew this will happen as well but decided to let them ponder about it for a while.
Tanya looked at her then back to Mo Xie before looking at Shang Ting: "Isn't it... the women that usually get pregnant and birth children?"
"And... shouldn't it take nine months?"
"Why..." Tanya became rather confused.
Shang Ting calmed herself down and immediately talked to Tanya: "Well, do you remember what I told you about Aiqing?"
Tanya immediately looked up glancing at Shang Ting: "That... the eldest daughter?"
"Un!" Shang Ting nodded her head: "I guess... this is the same as that time."
A few more minutes passed before Tanya calmed down.
Shang Ting smiled and waved her hand at Shuangqing: "Come to me."
Shuangqing immediately nodded. Her two hands up like that of a plane's wings while she hops towards Shang Ting. She immediately bowed: "Eldest mother."
Hearing this, Shang Ting chuckled: "Fufufu, what a well-mannered child. Come and sit on my lap."
Shuangqing smiled: "Yes." And sat on her lap before hugging her. A few seconds later, she jumped off and immediately attached herself to Tanya like how she had done before with Mo Xie: "Mother."
And after that, she immediately fell asleep.
Tanya looked at her and couldn't help but smile warmly, for some reason, this cute child felt extremely close to her, like she's her very own child. Well, technically, she is.
Meanwhile, after getting her to get used to the situation, Mo Xie made his way to his students.
"Elder!" Seeing him, all of his students greeted him respectfully.
Mo Xie nodded his head and waved his head: "For the next few months, all of you will continue training the scroll until perfection."
"When I say perfection, I mean it in a way that all of you will etch every movement in it deep within your bones." Mo Xie immediately briefed them about the mission he'll go to, and that his wives will oversee them till he returns.
Hearing his instructions, all of the students felt rather skeptical about it, but only one nodded her head. It's Meilin, for some reason, she had felt that every movement within the scroll flows naturally whenever she does it.
Still, it's rather awkward, one of them is walking horizontally, while the other one is walking like a crab, mostly horizontal but moving forward.
Finally though, Mo Xie implemented a final rule, and, no matter what they do, they'll do it together with the movement arts within the book. At the very least, they need to do it 50% of the time! Even when they sleep, they also have a posture to follow.
And those that couldn't follow it strictly, they'll be expelled, and he warned them that he has a way to know it.
After all that, he spent his time with Tanya, Shang Ting, and Shuangqing. He would sometimes check up on Nantian, but he's doing great, exceeding his expectation.
The set time arrived.
When Mo Xie walked out of his peak, there are already a little over a hundred people gathered outside.
"Is everyone prepared?" Mo Xie asked.
But then, all of the elders couldn't help but look at Mo Xie speechlessly.
"Y-you're... Celestial Phenomenon rank?!" Ha Qiqi couldn't help but exclaim.
Mo Xie nodded his head: "Well, somethings happened, and it got me to this rank."
Ha Qiqi couldn't help but utter: "Can't you explain it a little better?"
"I mean, that something, I'd be glad if that happened to me as well."
Mo Xie chuckled: "Well, it's a secret art passed down throughout eons of time, but it'll only happen once every thousand of years in one member of our clan."
"................" All of them knew that it's a blatant lie, but none of them have any right of saying anything else since it may very well be a secret.
Seriously though, all four elders couldn't believe it nor can they convince themselves. To reach from sky shattering rank all the way to celestial phenomenon rank in a single week? That's unbelievable.
But there could also be another way. It's that Mo Xie had sealed his cultivation for them not to be able to see it, and since Bu Ten had accepted this person, the sect leader must've known it as well.
They've thought up a lot of things of why he had reached Celestial Phenomenon rank, or how he had hidden it, but at the end of it all, they couldn't say anything else.
Mo Xie seeing that they have no more comments spoke: "Let's go."
Since he couldn't really explain it himself, why bother right?
With that, Mo Xie led the expedition group to the Nur Kingdom.
