Chapter 573: Discussion with mother
"Nephew, you really don't treat us your family. How could you not invite us to your marriage?" Li Dongmei sat down beside Mu Qing and said as she looked at Feng Yun grudgingly.
"Nephew is wrong, please forgive me, Aunt Mei." Feng Yun apologized to Dongmei.
"Seeing you brought such a good wife and grandson, this aunt is forgiving you this time," Dongmei said faintly. After that, she looked at the little guy in Mu Qing's arms and stretched out her hand to pinch the cute face of the little Xianling.
"Little guy, what is your name? Do you want to come into this aunt's arms?" Dongmei teased Xianling then said dotingly.
"Tang Xianling!" The Little puffed his cheek in response. He seemed to dislike it when someone pinched his cheeks. 'Why does everyone pinches my cheek? It hurts.'
"Awe, he is so cute." Dongmei giggled as she teased him a little more.
They chatted a for while then Mu Qing sent them to the rooms to take a short rest. While Feng Yun and his mother were chatting inside, the two maids of the Gu Clan remained outside the house until Feng Yun and others ended their family reunion.
In the evening.
It was a joyous occasion for the Mu family. Mu Qing prepared a big feast for her son and daughter-in-law. At this time, a few people have gathered in a house, eating and drinking happily.
After dinner, Feng Yun finally came to his mother to talk about the situation of the Mu Clan.
"Mother, now can you tell me what going on?" Feng Yun looked at his mother and asked curiously.
Mu Qing sighed and finally told him the entire thing.
"What? Mu Tian met an accident?" Feng Yun was stunned and exclaimed. "How is happened?"
"We don't know what happened. We have lost contact with Mu Tian for months, we don't know if he is dead or alive." Mu Qing shook her head.
"This is indeed troublesome." Feng Yun was lost in thoughts. Although he hated Mu Tian for separating his mother from him, he still didn't want him to meet an accident. Mu Tian was the backbone of the Mu Clan, and Mu Clan was his mother's family. Even if he didn't care about the Mu Clan, he deeply cared for his mother.
Knowing his mother's nature, she won't abandon the Mu Clan which means if the Mu Clan was in danger so was his mother.
"Yun'er, I am afraid you can't stay in the Mu Clan for a long time. The situation is not good right now, mother is worried about your safety." Mu Qing looked at Feng Yun and said with a serious expression.
When Feng Yun heard his mother's words, he waved his hand lightly and said in a confident tone, "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I am no longer weak as before."
However, his mother was unconvinced, "Yun'er, you are a Late-Heaven Profound Realm cultivator. Mother knows that you should be invincible in the Heaven Profound Realm, but two fists can't beat four hands. Our enemy has many Heaven profound Realm cultivators as well as a few Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators."
Feng Yun sighed lightly, and said firmly, "Mother, I am willing to leave but only one condition, you will come with me. Otherwise, I will also stay in the Mu Clan."
"Son, I can't leave the Mu Clan in this dangerous situation." As Feng Yun expected, Mu Qing refused immediately.
"Then, I won't either!" Feng Yun shrugged his shoulder and said. Before his mother could speak, he interrupted, "Don't worry too much? Leave this problem to me. If needed I will ask for help from the master. And I also have a space artifact, if a situation arises, I will use the space artifact to protect."
"Your master, if we get help from your master. Things might change in our favor." Mu Qing thought for a moment and said.
"By the way, mother. Can you tell me about the top forces of Blazing Sun City? Who is an ally and who is the enemy?" Feng Yun curiously asked. Mu Qing nodded and told him everything.
"Other forces except the Cao Clan won't have a blood feud with our Mu Clan, they won't dare to go all-out war with us. At most, they will try to weaken our influence in the Blazing Sun Dynasty. But the Cao Clan is different, they are our archenemy. They will not hesitate to go all-out war with us to take their revenge." Mu Qing said slowly.
"The Cao Clan! How many experts do they have, and what is the realm of their strongest expert?" Feng Yun asked again.
"I don't know exact numbers, but they have at least dozens of heaven Profound Realm cultivators and three Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators in their clan. And the strongest person is the old ancestor of the Cao Clan who was supposed to be dead twenty years ago. But expectedly, not only that old bastard did not die, but his realm also increased after twenty years. According to our estimation, the old man should be a High-Rank Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator. And our clan has only a single Mid-Rank Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator." Mu Qing said in frustration.
"Oh, their strength is great. Then why didn't they attack the Mu Clan already?" Feng Yun muttered curiously. But he came to a sudden realization, they are still afraid of Mu Tian. After all, It was only a rumor, it was yet to confirm that Mu Tian has really met an accident outside. If Mu Tian turned out alive, they are doomed.
"Hmph, how can these cowards dare kill Mu Clan?" Mu Qing snorted disdainfully.
"They didn't want to take risks, so they are showing patience." Feng Yun said.
"It's good for us. As long as there is some time, even without Mu Tian in the clan, the Cao clan won't be able to hurt us." Mu Qing said in relief which surprised Feng Yun a bit.
His arrival in the mu clan was an accident, so his mother must have prepared any backup.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Feng Yun's face, his mother smiled and said, "Yun'er, did you remember your cousin sister?"
Feng Yun's brows creased slightly and replied after some pondering, "You mean Sister Mu Wenqian."
Mu Wenqian was the daughter of Mu Tian, Feng Yun remembered that Mu Wenqian went to the Black Turquoise Empire with a few other geniuses to cultivate further. The Black Turquoise Empire was a huge power compared to all powers of the Long Imperial Dynasty. Mu Clan could be considered a small clan in front of the Black Turquoise Empire. The Black Turquoise Empire could provide better resources and environment than this backward region that's why many geniuses go there to improve their cultivation.
"Yes, it's her! Wenqian showed a great talent for cultivation and attracted the attention of important figures of the empire. Now she has become an official disciple of a strong expert, her cultivation also has risen rapidly. Because she was cultivating in a secret realm, we weren't able to contact her before. Not long ago, Sister Mei contacted Wenqian and told her about the situation of the Mu Clan. Wenqian replied that she comes to the Mu Clan and bring some experts from the empire to help the clan." Mu Qing said. "According to her message, she will arrive here in ten days."
"Ten days! I'm looking forward to seeing my cousin again." Feng Yun showed a smile and said. When his cousin return, he will ask her about the Black Turquoise Empire. He was curious to know how big the Black Turquoise Empire was.
After chatting for another few minutes, Feng Yun finally said good night to his mother and returned to the courtyard that was arranged for him and his wife by his mother.
As Feng Yun went into the room, he found Tang Yue laying on the bed with little Xianling. The Little guy has gone to sleep long ago, but her mother was still awake and looked like waiting for her husband to return.
Feng Yun smiled at her. Moving to the bed, he slowly lay down on the bed. The little guy was in the middle while Feng Yun and Tang Yue lay on his left and right side.
Tang Yue didn't speak, just looked at Feng Yun calmly. Feng Yun showed a faint smile and said, "You also noticed it!"
Tang Yue nodded lightly. It was hard to hide the tense atmosphere of the Mu Clan, even an ordinary person with good sense could detect it, and Tang Yue was a Heaven Profound Realm cultivator.
"Is it big trouble?" Tang Yue asked in concern.
Feng Yun shook his head and said, "Nothing big, I can handle it with ease, so you don't have to worry much." After that, Feng Yun briefly told her about the Mu Clan's situation.
"Hubby, we can ask for help from grandpa."
"Nah, there is no need to trouble the old man for a small matter!" Feng Yun shrugged lightly.
