Chapter 242
Cen Lizhui found Chen Muxue when she was meditating on the rooftop.
The moonlight softly enveloped her as she sat peacefully, seemingly making decent progress, yet strangely feeling as if there was a gap in the cycle of Spiritual Energy.
Cen Lizhui observed for quite a while but couldn’t pinpoint what was amiss, and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
It seemed that another presence caught her attention, and Chen Muxue suddenly awoke, with moonlight Spiritual Energy still lingering in her eyes.
Surprisingly, at the moment of her awakening, the once bright moon was suddenly covered by thick clouds driven by a strong wind, causing the surrounding light to dim considerably.
Cen Lizhui didn’t expect her to notice him, knowing full well that he hadn’t intended to be noticed and had used a few tricks.
It seemed she had become much more aware than before.
"So you do cultivate like this, huh? I thought you were just eating and drinking." Cen Lizhui suddenly folded his arms, lowered his head awkwardly, and said this while looking at Chen Muxue.
Chen Muxue felt a bit embarrassed; most of the time she was indeed just eating and drinking... wasn’t this because she thought continuing like that wouldn’t work...
"Isn’t the weather nice? Look at the moon... where’s the moon?" Chen Muxue said helplessly.
Cen Lizhui chuckled softly, lowered his arms, and walked straight to Chen Muxue’s side to sit down.
"Actually, with your speed of advancement through eating, you’ve already surpassed most people. In less than a year, not only have you successfully formed your Core, but you’ve reached the Sixth Rank of the Golden Core Stage."
Though she could hear the sincerity in his words, Chen Muxue felt there was a hint of sarcasm. Perhaps because these words were coming from someone around the same age but much more advanced in Cultivation.
Chen Muxue slightly furrowed her brows, feeling an inexplicable aversion to Cen Lizhui’s aura beside her, something that had never happened before.
"However, diligent Cultivation is always beneficial, standing tall allows one to see far." Cen Lizhui said, gazing into the distance.
Naturally, Chen Muxue also looked into the distance. One had to admit, the view was indeed far-reaching, but who was the old woman by the side gate talking to Xiaohua like a kidnapper? Has the Huo Family’s Villa run out of servants, no one watching the side gate?!
Evidently, Cen Lizhui also followed the suddenly tense gaze of Chen Muxue, seeing everything over there. The two exchanged a glance, then immediately dashed towards that direction.
In mid-leap, Chen Muxue suddenly remembered she’s not used to jumping like this!
But her body seemed to automatically adapt, quickly adjusting.
Cen Lizhui noticed Chen Muxue was flustered for a moment but swiftly regained composure, feeling a bit puzzled but didn’t pay too much attention.
The two quickly arrived at the side gate.
"Nanny, has mother woken up? Why isn’t she coming to see Xiaohua?"
Xiaohua was held by the nursemaid, looking puzzled, not understanding why her nursemaid suddenly started crying like this.
Upon arriving, Chen Muxue again exchanged a glance with Cen Lizhui.
This person was actually Xiaohua’s nanny?!
"Nanny, why can’t Xiaohua go back? Xiaohua misses mother." Xiaohua said, pouting unhappily, "Does mother not want Xiaohua anymore?"
The nursemaid hearing this cried even harder, unable to utter a word.
"Nursemaid, I’m Chen Muxue, the Sect Leader of Qian Ding Sect, and also Xiaohua’s guardian." Chen Muxue finally decided to step forward and understand the situation.
