Yi Chongyue replied with a smile.
"Your Martial Uncle Li's wife failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment because she wasn't qualified enough. She only has one son, so naturally she dotes on him. Now that he's married into another family and only comes back once every few years... How would you feel if you were in his shoes?"
Chen Shuangbai suddenly realized something.
That's true... If it were one's own child, one would probably be very distressed as well.
Chen Shuangbai then asked, "Then why does Martial Uncle Li seem somewhat troubled about his grandson?"
Yi Chongyue glanced at Li Chenguang, who was pretending to eat while secretly observing them out of the corner of his eye, and smiled. He continued to transmit his voice, "This child Chenguang showed exceptional talent for cultivation from birth, far surpassing his father and even a few points stronger than his grandfather back then."
"His mother's family, the Su Household, also wanted to teach him, but they were afraid of delaying his cultivation, so they sent him back to our sect."
The Su Household regarded it as their greatest hope for revitalization, and cherished it with utmost care, sparing no effort in its cultivation.
"This child is indeed intelligent; he grasps things quickly and progresses rapidly."
"But... well, you've seen his personality. He's been spoiled a bit too much, and coupled with his exceptional talent, he's inevitably become arrogant and unruly. In the Wu Country, he's a notorious little devil..."
Looking at the delicate and upright child, Chen Shuangbai found it hard to associate him with the little devil, but recalling her master's carefree attitude, she found it somewhat believable.
That's right. Martial Uncle Li is a serious person, so he must have suffered for a long time.
Just then...
Li Chenguang suddenly turned his head, blinked his big eyes, and asked with an "innocent" look.
"Grandmaster Uncle, Martial Uncle Chen, are you whispering? Are you talking badly about Guang'er?"
Yi Chongyue and Chen Shuangbai exchanged a glance and chuckled.
The dragon chariot traveled smoothly through the sea of clouds, while the mountains and rivers below rushed past.
As they slowly entered the territory of Wu Country, their speed gradually decreased.
It wasn't that the dragon chariot had encountered any mishap, but rather that the four dragon beasts that were providing the vehicle were gradually becoming unable to keep up.
That's true, after all, it's not a real dragon, so it doesn't have that kind of endurance.
The dragon chariot slowly landed in a valley.
The three of them got off the carriage. The driver released the four dragon beasts in the distance, which then disappeared into the lake in the valley to forage and rest.
Yi Chongyue glanced at the sky and said, "Let's stay here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."
Jing Kingdom and Wu Country were both major powers among the twelve states.
Its vast territory, with its numerous mountains and rivers, has nurtured many cultivators.
Their journey was neither to save lives nor to seek refuge, so they traveled leisurely and slowly, taking three days in a row, until the four dragon beasts were exhausted.
The accompanying attendants brought out array plates and simply enclosed the area to prevent unknown wild beasts from clashing with their sect's cultivators.
They also built simple thatched huts for everyone to stay in.
Throughout the journey, Li Chenguang became very well-behaved, showing none of the characteristics of the Demon Orb.
But that very night.
He then had an attack.
The starlight twinkled as it fell from the sky, and the valley remained utterly silent.
Although Li Chenguang has a great talent for cultivation, he is still young and his Root Bone has not yet been fully established. Li Changfeng only taught him a basic and moderate Breath Regulation and Qi Ingestion Method to help him get used to it.
When Chen Shuangbai awoke from her meditation, she saw a small figure that had already walked to the edge of the formation in the dark, seemingly trying to leave the formation.
Suddenly.
As Li Chenguang walked, he suddenly stopped. Looking down, he saw that a glowing jade rope had somehow wrapped around his right foot, rendering him unable to move an inch.
His expression froze, and he looked in the direction of the source. He saw Chen Shuangbai sitting by the lake, the starlight in the water reflecting on him. Her eyes sparkled with a jade-like light, and a jade rope slowly emerged from her sleeve as she squinted at him.
"Where did you go Little Chenguang?"
Li Chenguang's face stiffened, then he scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, stammering, "Uncle-Master... I need to pee... I need to pee..."
"Okay, don't go too far."
After urinating, Li Chenguang obediently returned and lay back down.
While lying down, he tried to untie the jade rope wrapped around his feet, but found that neither Method Formula nor Law Artifact could untie it. He became annoyed, but was still powerless.
He wanted to make a scene, saying he wanted to go out and make his way in the world, but Chen Shuangbai's eyes suddenly flashed into his mind, making him shudder and forcing him to give up.
The next day.
Yi Chongyue smiled as he looked at Li Chenguang kneeling in front of him. He saw Li Chenguang point to the jade cord on his right foot, then turn to look at Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai told him the truth about what happened last night, and Yi Chongyue looked at him with a half-smile.
Unlike Li Changfeng, the master and apprentice were not bound by blood ties and would spoil him.
Yi Chongyue didn't want to get involved in the younger generation's affairs, so he tapped Li Chenguang's head and said, "We'll be at Jade Bay soon. If you behave well, I won't tell your parents!"
Seeing the "heartless" appearance of the master and apprentice, Li Chenguang knew that his hopes of sneaking out were dashed. He wanted to lash out, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that no one would comfort him, so he remained silent.
The Yuliu Su Clan was a well-known Lineage cultivators in the Wu Country.
With three Foundation Establishment in the family, and even connections to the Jade Spring Sect, a major sect of the righteous path in the Jing Kingdom, outsiders naturally have many reservations.
The dragon-shaped chariot weaved through the sea of clouds, its surface shimmering with magical light, indicating that the person seated inside was Foundation Establishment.
The Su Clan members naturally dared not stop them, and upon seeing the Jade Spring Sect's Law Power patterns on the dragon-shaped chariot, they treated the three of them with even greater courtesy, welcoming them inside.
"Mother, Father!"
Upon landing, Chen Shuangbai released him from his restraints. The latter, with practiced ease, ran inside and threw himself into the arms of a graceful and elegant woman adorned with jewels.
This must be Li Chenguang's mother, Su Rong.
Su Rong lovingly stroked the child's head, a smile on her face. Beside her stood a tall man with a sword at his waist. The latter first gave Li Chenguang a hard pat on the back of the head, then stepped forward and bowed to Yi Chongyue in greeting.
"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle-Master. Muxian thanks you."
Then, Li Muxian looked at the charismatic Chen Shuangbai beside her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She inwardly praised him, "What a handsome and refined immortal!" and said, "Although I am not in the sect, my father writes to me frequently. This must be my uncle's personal disciple, our sect's prodigy, Junior Brother Chen!"
Chen Shuangbai smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, "Senior brother, sister-in-law."
Su Rong then led Li Chenguang forward and bowed to Yi Chongyue and Chen Shuangbai, saying, "Greetings, Martial Uncle Yi, and Junior Brother Chen."
"You must be tired from your journey. We've prepared a small feast at home. Please come in and rest for a while, so my husband and I can treat you to a proper meal."
