Tushan Jingci cultivates beneath the Moon God Tree, facing challenges in her cultivation speed as the holy-daughter ceremony approaches. She ponders Xiao Mo's connection to Sister Xiaoqing from the Four Seas. Upon receiving a letter from Xiao Mo promising a congratulatory gift, Tushan Jingci is overjoyed but also worried he might go to the Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm. Reassured he is not going, she contemplates what gift to give him in return.

White Radiance Peak, as one of Tushan’s four guest peaks, had always been a place reserved for the most important honored guests of Tushan.

And in a four-courtyard estate at the summit of White Radiance Peak, Xiaoqing was still reading through the files concerning “Xiao Mo” that had been gathered over the past few days.

But there was truly far too little information about “Xiao Mo of the demon-race world.”

Xiaoqing had only roughly found out that this Xiao Mo had been sold to the Tushan residence in Immortal Fox City when he was young.

Later, for some unknown reason, he had actually become an attendant at Tushan Jingci’s side.

After that, when Tushan Jingci went to Cold Mountain Academy to study, he went with her and even became Tushan Jingci’s book boy.

By this point, Xiaoqing already understood that to Tushan Jingci, this Xiao Mo was absolutely not as simple as some insignificant book boy.

Otherwise, how could Tushan Xinhua possibly allow a human—and a man at that—to be her daughter’s book boy?

After all, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan’s path of testifying to the Way was far too special.

If they grew up as childhood sweethearts, innocent and intimate, and affection arose over time, that would be very troublesome.

Reading farther on, Xiaoqing only found that Xiao Mo had once come into conflict with the First Prince of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom at Cold Mountain Academy. After that, there were no further records.

However, when Xiaoqing also learned that the cultivation method Xiao Mo practiced was Great Dream of Yellow Millet, she faintly guessed the general outline of the matter.

First, although she still did not know the specific reason, Xiao Mo must have done something to earn Tushan Xinhua’s regard.

Otherwise, Tushan Xinhua would never have given that copy of Great Dream of Yellow Millet to Xiao Mo.

Because the Tushan clan had an unwritten rule that very few people knew—whenever someone learned Great Dream of Yellow Millet, the most outstanding woman of that generation in the clan was to be married to that person.

But based on Xiaoqing’s understanding of that old fox Tushan Meng, this old fox was very likely not going to acknowledge that rule.

In Tushan Meng’s heart, only Tushan’s interests were most important. In order to make Tushan grow ever stronger, there was nothing she would not do.

And in the current demon-race world, demons and humans could be said to be as incompatible as fire and water.

Ordinary demons all regarded humans as lowly slaves.

If Tushan Meng truly agreed to let Tushan Jingci and Xiao Mo be together, then putting aside how the other demons would view Tushan and how they would mock Tushan behind its back, Tushan’s own internal ranks alone could never possibly accept such a marriage.

When that time came, what right would Tushan Meng still have to lead Tushan to stand at the peak of the demon-race world?

“The most troublesome thing right now is that I don’t know exactly how Tushan Jingci sees Xiao Mo.”

Xiaoqing’s brows furrowed slightly. She lifted her teacup and took a faint sip, her expression carrying a trace of thoughtfulness.

If Tushan Jingci truly liked Xiao Mo as well, then Xiaoqing felt that if she were in Tushan Meng’s position, she would absolutely never allow Xiao Mo to return alive.

But if Tushan Jingci felt no romantic affection for Xiao Mo, and it was only Tushan Xinhua who admired this young man, then perhaps Tushan Meng would still spare Xiao Mo’s life.

After all, as a cultivator who had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm before even turning thirty, Xiao Mo’s later entry into the upper three realms was practically set in stone. He could absolutely become a major source of assistance to Tushan.

Any faction would be eager to recruit such a genius as a retainer.

Moreover, to Tushan, Xiao Mo was even a retainer they knew thoroughly and had raised since childhood.

“If not for the fact that my identity is truly too sensitive, I would have gone to the front line myself long ago to see what exactly is going on.”

Xiaoqing sighed softly, her tone carrying a little helplessness.

Now, the Myriad Demon Alliance and the other two great demon alliances were fighting one another to the death, flames of war spreading everywhere.

Although she had come to Tushan as the Four Seas’ representative for Tushan’s holy-daughter ceremony, in the end, she was still neutral. It was not appropriate for her to get involved in the internal disputes of the demon-race world.

If she went to the front line rashly, then the meaning of it would be completely different. It would only invite unnecessary trouble for the Four Seas.

Moreover, the other party, at present, was only a cultivator named “Xiao Mo.”

How many people in the world shared the same given name and surname? A name alone was still nowhere near enough to make her personally run to the front line.

“Wait for more news before deciding...”

Xiaoqing gently shook her head, her tone carrying a trace of hesitation and restraint.

A few days ago, she had already found a way to obtain a personal item of Xiao Mo’s.

Every person’s personal belongings would more or less retain traces of soul marks.

And Xiaoqing had personally set up a spell formation, placing the personal item Brother Xiao had left behind all those years ago together with the item this present Xiao Mo had used, then quietly waited for the result.

Barring any accidents, there should be a conclusion today or tomorrow.

“Sister Xiaoqing...”

Just as Xiaoqing sat in the room and waited patiently, a maid’s voice came softly from outside the door.

“What is it?” Xiaoqing raised her head and asked calmly.

“Sister Xiaoqing, the spell formation seems to have stirred. Would you like to go and see for yourself?” the maid slowly said, her tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Almost the very instant the maid’s voice fell, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaoqing had already transformed into a streak of flowing light, rushing swiftly toward the rear courtyard.

The maid did not dare delay and hurried after her.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaoqing and the maid named Han’er had already arrived before the spell formation.

Within the spell formation, the old brush Brother Xiao had left behind all those years ago was slowly manifesting a wisp of gold thread as fine as hair under the spell formation’s pull and impetus. It trembled faintly.

And the clothing left behind by the cultivator named “Xiao Mo” likewise manifested a wisp of gold thread, its luster warm and faint.

Finally, when those two golden threads of spiritual power slowly approached each other and gently connected, merging into an inseparable glow, Xiaoqing’s eyes suddenly shrank. Her pupils contracted, and her mind instantly went blank.

“Sister Xiaoqing... Is something wrong with this spell formation?”

Han’er looked at Xiaoqing beside her, her eyes full of tension and worry.

She did not know exactly what purpose the spell formation Sister Xiaoqing had arranged served.

She had simply never seen Sister Xiaoqing show such an expression before.

“Han’er!” Xiaoqing slowly spoke, her voice carrying a tremor she could not suppress.

“Sister Xiaoqing, Han’er is here.” Han’er immediately lowered her head, respectfully awaiting orders.

“Go prepare immediately! We are leaving for Flowing Sand City right now!” Xiaoqing’s heartbeat grew faster and faster, pounding like a beating drum.

“Flowing Sand City?” Han’er froze slightly, utterly confused. “Sister Xiaoqing, with our identity as people of the Four Seas, if we rashly go to Flowing Sand City, won’t that...”

“I said!!!”

Xiaoqing abruptly turned her head. Her eyes were faintly red, her fists clenched tight, her face pale as paper. She stared fixedly at Han’er, and her voice was nearly out of control as she repeated,

“Immediately!”
