Upon hearing that, Su Zimo furrowed her brows, thinking about the meaningful smile on Mo Wuya's face. She wore a cold and frosty expression, choosing not to ask why.
Seeing Su Zimo's expression, a hint of confusion flashed across Mo Wuya's face. Why didn't Su Zimo ask why?
"Don't you want to know why?" Mo Wuya almost blurted out when he saw Su Zimo's composed expression.
Su Zimo lowered her gaze, her beautiful eyes fixed on the precious jade in her hand.
Under the moonlight, she could still see the flowing light as she moved the jade, which was exceptionally beautiful.
Mu Yunxuan also lowered his gaze and glanced at the jade in Su Zimo's hand without saying a word.
After a while, Su Zimo answered indifferently, "When my master gave me this jade, he didn't tell me the reason. At that time, I didn't know why. But now that I've seen you, I know why."
"Oh! You know?" A hint of surprise flashed across Mo Wuya's face! But judging from her expression, it didn't seem like her father hadn't told her.
"My master should have guessed that one day I would meet you and gave me this jade. He wanted to tell you through this jade that he is still alive?"
Su Zimo didn't bother about the reason her master gave her the jade. Her master hadn't told her about its significance, but now it could play a significant role. It could help resolve the misunderstanding between the Mu Family and the Modu City.
Upon hearing her words, Mo Wuya smiled mysteriously again, but this time, he was looking at Mu Yunxuan.
Mu Yunxuan furrowed his brows, a trace of displeasure flashing across his handsome face. The smile on Mo Wuya's face made him feel the impulse to give him a beating.
"It seems you don't understand the meaning of this jade."
Mo Wuya smirked and looked at Su Zimo with an evil smile.
Su Zimo took a look and still didn't ask aloud. If the so-called meaning had something to do with her, even if she didn't ask, Mo Wuya would reveal it. However, she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask herself. The eerie smile on Mo Wuya's face made her realize that the meaning of this jade was not the result she wanted to hear.
"Mother, what's going on?" Su Li asked.
This Mo Wuya was really asking for a beating.
"Qi'er, Li'er, he is your master's grandson, Mo Wuya."
"Wow! So, you're Grandfather's grandson! No wonder you look so familiar!" Su Qi took a few steps forward, exaggeratedly observing Mo Wuya. His cunning eyes roamed around Mo Wuya.
Mo Wuya also looked at Su Qi seriously. "It seems both of you have learned my father's Beast Formation to a great extent?"
"Of course, after all, beasts can't be compared to humans." Su Qi's bright eyes revealed confidence. His delicate face had a smiling expression. For survival, they naturally studied it with great effort.
"As expected, your reputation is well-deserved!" Mo Wuya nodded and looked at Su Zimo again.
With a meaningful smile, he said, "That jade is the inheritance jade of the Lady of the Demon Palace, a symbol of the status of the Lady of the Demon Palace throughout generations."
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo was somewhat stunned. She didn't expect the jade to have such a profound meaning. Why didn't her master tell her about it?
Mu Yunxuan's eyes instantly turned sharp as he stared at Mo Wuya, his deep gaze seemingly icy, emitting a chilling aura that spread throughout the entire room.
"Hmph! Mu Yunxuan, this is not something you can stop. The jade will choose its own owner!" Mo Wuya smirked arrogantly, more wild and unrestrained.
"Mo Wuya, you're thinking too much. The jade hasn't acknowledged me as its owner."
Su Zimo smiled coldly, stunning Mo Wuya with her beauty.
No, she wanted to believe that she was the person chosen by her father.
Mu Yunxuan's gloomy eyes fixed tightly on Mo Wuya. His handsome face was filled with anger and a hint of restlessness. He involuntarily embraced Su Zimo's slender waist tightly, pressing her against his side.
Seeing Mu Yunxuan's actions, Mo Wuya's eyes darkened.
"Since my father gave you the jade, it's already clear that you are the owner of the jade."
Mo Wuya made it very clear. If Su Zimo didn't understand it, then she wouldn't be Su Zimo.
"Is that so? Only by trying will we know."
Su Zimo placed the jade in Mo Wuya's hand.
Mo Wuya's face was filled with an insidious smile. As the jade reached his hand, the flowing light within it instantly vanished.
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"Did you see that? The jade only emits its unique brilliance in the hands of its rightful owner. Although my father didn't tell you the true meaning behind possessing this jade, he must have known that you are the rightful owner of this jade, which is why he didn't hesitate to give it to you," said Mo Wuya, his face filled with excitement, a sinister and fanatical expression.
Su Zimo's lips twitched slightly as she used her spiritual energy to draw the jade back into her hand. As expected, the flowing light within the jade started moving again.
A trace of doubt flashed in Su Zimo's eyes. Why did her master give her this jade?
"Mo Wuya, the conflict between the Modu City and the Mu Family is a misunderstanding. Tonight, the misunderstanding has been resolved. I hope that you can reconcile and make peace," Su Zimo paused for a moment, looking at the jade in her hand. "As for why my master gave me this jade, I will find out when I return to the Mingyue Valley."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I, Mo Wuya, will only know the truth when I see my father!" Mo Wuya's face turned gloomy, and he felt a hint of displeasure upon seeing Su Zimo defending the Mu Family.
"If you don't believe me, let Li'er take you back to the Mingyue Valley. You can personally ask my master," Mo Wuya looked at Su Li.
"No need for that. After you're done with your business, I want you to personally take me to meet my father," Su Zimo replied. She wanted to send him away, but it depended on whether he was willing or not.
"In that case, we'll wait until Yueyue returns. After I come back from the Lixia Kingdom, I will take you to the Mingyue Valley," Su Zimo thought for a moment. It was necessary to clarify everything, so it was better to go back and find out face to face.
What was supposed to be a night of fierce battle came to a halt because of Su Zimo's intervention. Under Su Zimo's insistence, Mo Wuya and his men left.
After everything returned to calm, Su Zimo felt a bit tired. Combined with the impact of Mu Yunxuan's spiritual energy, all she wanted was a good sleep.
After freshening up, without a word, Su Zimo climbed into bed, ready to sleep.
Mu Yunxuan looked at her, knowing that she was tired, but Mo Wuya's words tonight left a knot in his heart.
Kicking off his shoes, Mu Yunxuan also got into bed, embracing Su Zimo tightly.
The warmth of their bodies pressed against each other made Mu Yunxuan feel comfortable, and the continuous warmth that radiated from her made him feel at ease.
"Mo'er."
"Yeah!" Su Zimo sleepily responded.
"Is what Mo Wuya said true?"
Mu Yunxuan knew that many things in this world carried many secrets due to their spiritual nature, and some were even beyond the control of fate.
As if sensing the uneasiness in Mu Yunxuan's heart, Su Zimo turned around, her sleep-filled eyes gazing at his handsome face.
"Yunxuan, I can assure you that my master definitely didn't mean that. When my master gave me the jade, Li'er and the others were already born."
"That's good!" Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxuan felt immensely relieved. A radiant smile suddenly bloomed on his elegant face.
He pulled Su Zimo closer to him. "Sleep, Mo'er! You're tired too."
Not receiving a response, Mu Yunxuan lowered his gaze and listened to the even breathing. Looking at that exquisite sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile.
He stole a kiss on those rosy lips and lightly brushed against her eyes before falling asleep, embracing his beloved.
Late at night, within the Fumo Mountain, the pale moonlight shone on the peculiar mountains, giving off an eerie vibe. Behind the Heavenly Gate, a barrier, there were two thick stone pillars with lifelike soaring dragons carved on them. On the horizontally placed stone plaque, between the two entangled dragons playing with a pearl, were two golden characters, "Heavenly Gate."
Proceeding inside, there was an arched gate leading to a magnificent underground palace.
Within the main hall of the Heavenly Gate, after several days of recuperation, Yang Qingqing's condition had improved significantly.
During this time, Yang Jinpeng and Ji Yu had been accompanying her.
Yang Qingqing leaned against a soft couch, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Yu'er, has there been any recent activity outside?" Yang Qingqing appeared somewhat weak. She hadn't expected Mu Yunxuan to be so formidable. That palm strike had kept her confined to the bed for several days.
Ji Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "Master, tonight is the day when the Modu City seeks revenge on the Yuncheng City. With Su Zimo present, it's likely that the Modu City's Palace Lord won't gain any advantage."
"Su Zimo, it's always Su Zimo. What does that Su Zimo have that is so remarkable, causing your Ji Family to be defeated by her time and time again?" Yang Qingqing sat up straight, angrily pounding the table.
