Mu Qingling's Plan

"Ling'er, you need to be good and listen to Teacher while I'm in seclusion. When Dad comes out, I'll take you to find Mom, okay?"

Mu Feiyang, who thought he had arranged everything, said with some reluctance as he held his daughter, Mu Qingling, in his arms. Although his daughter wouldn't be in any danger, he felt she had been a bit lonely these past few years.

Now he was going to sleep for at least a year, which would make his daughter even lonelier. However, Mu Feiyang had already made up his mind.

Once this system upgrade was complete, he would definitely take his daughter to find that woman, Mu Qianxue, and even tie her back from the Immortal Spirit Realm if necessary.

"Dad, Ling'er understands. Dad, you should go into seclusion quickly!"

"Mm!"

"Teacher, I'll be entrusting Ling'er to your care."

Mu Feiyang put his daughter down and turned to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Master, please rest assured. I will take good care of Young Master."

"Mm!"

Mu Feiyang nodded, then patted Mu Qingling's head one last time before walking into the room. He hadn't cultivated before, so he didn't have a place for seclusion.

However, he could just set up a barrier in his room later, so no one would disturb him.

Moreover, by secluding himself inside, he would still be somewhat by his daughter's side, which could provide her with a sense of security.

Back in his room, Mu Feiyang set up a formation outside the door, ensuring no one could disturb him.

"System, you can begin the upgrade."

Having done all this, Mu Feiyang instructed the system in his mind, hoping the system's upgrade would be quick so he could spend time with his daughter.

[Ding, the system is upgrading to a new version. The host will fall into a deep sleep.]

[Ding! Ding!]

[System upgrade encountered an unknown change. Upgrade has encountered an anomaly. Upgrade time is uncertain.]

Mu Feiyang, who hadn't completely fallen asleep yet, scowled upon hearing the system's notification. But before he could say anything, he completely lost consciousness.

What Mu Feiyang didn't know was that the moment he turned back to his room, a glint flashed deep within Mu Qingling's eyes.

After waiting for a while, Mu Qingling tiptoed to Mu Feiyang's room and looked at the closed door. Mu Qingling gently touched it with her small hand.

Just as she had expected, a light barrier appeared outside Mu Feiyang's room, isolating the entire space.

Seeing this, Mu Qingling couldn't help but grin, but she quickly covered her mouth with her small hand to stifle her laughter.

"Little Master, it's time for our lesson."

Just as Mu Qingling was leaving the courtyard, Liu Wenjun had already set up the desk, prepared for the daily lessons.

Hearing Liu Wenjun's words suddenly, Mu Qingling was startled. How could she have forgotten this uncle? Her father was in seclusion now, but if she wanted to go find her mother, she still had to deal with this uncle first.

Mu Qingling was thinking about how she could incapacitate Liu Wenjun, but she still walked towards him.

As long as she hadn't thought of a good plan, she absolutely couldn't let Teacher know she intended to make a move on him. Otherwise, if he became wary, it would be much harder to succeed.

"Hmm?"

For some reason, Liu Wenjun felt like something unlucky was about to happen. He then performed a ritualistic calculation with his fingers, but he couldn't figure anything out.

"Could I be overthinking it?"

Liu Wenjun muttered, unable to calculate anything. He then stopped thinking about it and continued teaching Little Master.

His own cultivation base was not low, and now he was in the True Spirit Realm. There shouldn't be anything that could threaten him.

Besides, he was currently on Master's territory, so nothing bad could possibly befall this place.

As time slowly passed, the morning lessons were quickly finished. Just as Liu Wenjun was about to pack up and leave, Mu Qingling called out to him.

"Teacher, do you know of anything that can make someone fall unconscious?"

Mu Qingling tilted her small head and asked Liu Wenjun. She had thought of many methods, but none of them worked. The only way was to knock Teacher unconscious; only then would she have a chance to sneak out.

But she didn't know which herbs could cause unconsciousness, and they had to be very potent ones. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to knock Teacher out.

"Little Master, what aspect are you referring to?"

There were many ways to make someone unconscious. The most direct method was violence, but Liu Wenjun didn't know which aspect Mu Qingling was asking about.

"If you mean using medicine!"

"There are many types of medicines. For example, in the True Spirit Realm, there's a pill called the Heavenly Illusion Pill, which can cause unconsciousness."

"There are also some poisons that can cause unconsciousness, such as the Seven Banishment Pill, Five Poisons Pill, and Blood Concealment Pill. These are all pills that can cause unconsciousness without being fatal."

"At the same time, there are also some rarer herbs with similar effects. I know of a very potent herb in the True Spirit Realm."

"This herb is colorless and odorless. Even an immortal could be caught off guard. However, due to its growing environment, no one in the True Spirit Realm dares to pick this herb."

Although Liu Wenjun was a bit puzzled as to why Mu Qingling was asking these questions, he still told her what he knew.

After all, this was also knowledge, and learning more would be beneficial for Mu Qingling in the future.

"Is that so?"

"Then what does this herb look like, what is its name! And where can this herb be found!"

Mu Qingling couldn't get the pills Liu Wenjun mentioned, but she became very interested in the herb Liu Wenjun spoke of last.

"Little Master, this is what the herb looks like. It's called the Purple Blood Spirit Melting Flower, and it only grows in places filled with poisonous gas."

"However, these herbs are always guarded by the Seven-Poison Golden Toad, because the Purple Blood Spirit Melting Flower can help monsters level up. Most people wouldn't dare to pick it."

"Furthermore, such an environment can only be found in the Demon Soul Abyss, at the deepest part of the Thunder Mountain Range. It's not a place humans can go."

"Teacher, I want to eat grilled fish. Go prepare the ingredients, and I'll go catch some Seven Treasures Fish."

Mu Qingling immediately took action once she had a goal, but she needed an excuse to leave, and catching Seven Treasures Fish was the perfect one.

Since Mu Qingling had gone to catch them many times on her own before, this wouldn't arouse Liu Wenjun's suspicion.

"This... Alright!"

Liu Wenjun was a bit overwhelmed by Mu Qingling's sudden shift. Weren't they just discussing the Purple Blood Spirit Melting Flower? How did it suddenly turn to grilled fish?

Still, Liu Wenjun agreed. He wasn't worried about Mu Qingling being in danger, not to mention her monstrous cultivation level. With Little Black by her side, she wouldn't be in any danger.

"Little Black, let's go catch some Seven Treasures Fish!"
