Setting Out for the Village

Because after Lin Xiao boarded the ship earlier, he roughly estimated that the number of people was much smaller than the number of people boarding the ship from Gold Mountain City now.

Moreover, it seemed the spirit ship had no intention of stopping their boarding anytime soon; the procession continued to move forward.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao recalled what the cultivators in Yuanling City had said before: that there were significantly fewer people allowed to ascend this time.

It seems they weren't just making baseless accusations because they themselves failed to board the ship.

Lin Xiao told Jiang Youfu what he had observed, and the two looked at each other in silence for a moment before losing all interest in observing the queue outside.

Jiang Youfu lowered his head and looked through the ingredients in his Storage Bag, starting to think about what to eat for dinner.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes and started browsing the System Store in his mind.

I'm not buying anything, just looking around.

In the capital of the Pusi Kingdom.

Since this is the first time the Lingxian Sect has officially appeared before the imperial court, there are quite a few details that need to be discussed.

After Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe went to the palace together to discuss the general direction, the rest was handled by Liu Yunan on his own.

Accompanied by Mo Yuanjiao, Qin Jianghe and Mo Yuanjiao disguised themselves and wandered around the capital.

Because they also possessed the Peach Leaf Pendant and the Concealment Technique, no one discovered their whereabouts.

However, the main reason is that several sects have recently been busy preparing to join forces to attack the neighboring Huanyou Nation, and their attention has not been focused on the capital city.

The two of them would spend their days wandering from one end of the city wall to the other, from the south to the north.

After accompanying Qin Jianghe on a thorough tour of the capital, Mo Yuanjiao began preparing to return to Xiushui Village.

The reason I say "preparing" is because he's not going back alone this time; he's also taking his mother and grandmother with him.

Mo Yuanjiao had already informed his cousin, the Emperor, about this matter, and Li Zhouxuan had given his consent.

His father and brothers still had to stay in the capital to take up their posts.

His older sister is already married; he can't possibly go to someone else's house and take her away, now that she's married to someone else.

According to General Mo's plan, he felt that when he and his other sons had holidays, or when they retired and returned to their hometowns in the future, they could go to Xiushui Village to reunite with their families.

It's not that he has to cultivate with him or anything. Having lived to his age and spent many years fighting on the battlefield, he has become indifferent to life and death.

Changsheng sounds easy, but in reality, how many people actually achieve it?

Therefore, he took a very indifferent view of cultivation.

But now that their youngest son was there and so eager to bring the whole family along, the Mo Household secretly discussed fulfilling the wish of their youngest son.

Under Mo Yuanjiao's constant urging, Madam Mo was always very efficient in her work, quickly made arrangements for the whole family after the trip.

Early that morning, before dawn, as soon as the city gates opened, several carriages bearing the Mo Household family insignia rolled out of the city gates.

After arriving outside the city, the carriage traveled several more miles before stopping in a deserted area.

Everyone on the bus got off.

The people who alighted from the first carriage were General Mo, Madam Mo, and Old Madam Mo.

Next came the three Mo Yuanjiao brothers.

The carriage following behind carried Mo Que and several other guards, with Baojian and the other servants of the Mo Household arriving last.

Since everyone present was a close and trusted relative, Mo Yuanjiao didn't hold back. He directly took out the spirit boat that Lin Xiao had given him, poured Spiritual Power into it, and then threw it on the ground.

Then the Mo Household family members watched in astonishment as the small boat, no bigger than a palm, visibly grew larger and larger on the ground, until it could accommodate more than ten people before it stopped.

Even though they were somewhat prepared, Madam Mo and the others who had never seen it before were still quite surprised.

Only General Mo, who had returned in this very vehicle, remained unfazed, supporting Old Madam Mo's hand as he said:

"Mother, let me help you up."

With General Mo's help, Old Madam Mo carefully boarded the spirit boat, looking around in amazement.

General Mo then helped Madam Mo up.

Seeing that they had all gone up, Mo Yuanjiao waved to the back and said:

"Baojian and bring them with you."

Accompanying them were some trusted guards and hereditary servants of the Mo Household Mo Household. After all, Old Madam Mo was getting old and would need to be served along the way. In addition, General Mo was worried about what would happen to her after she arrived there, so he arranged for several hereditary servants who had followed the Mo Household family for generations to go with her.

They won't be able to directly join the Lingxian Sect; instead, the Mo Household will settle them in Emerald Peak Town to take care of the Madam and Old Madam living in Xiushui Village.

As for Baojian, that's Mo Yuanjiao's man, General Mo doesn't interfere.

Upon hearing Baojian, Bao Jian immediately led his guards and servants over, scurrying over and nimbly boarding the spirit boat.

The servants and guards followed closely behind and climbed up.

Mo Que was temporarily left in the capital by Mo Yuanjiao, because Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe had been extremely busy lately and were quite overwhelmed. So, Mo Que was asked to stay in the capital to help Qin Jianghe and the others with some matters, and then return with them later.

Anyway, with Mo Yuanjiao's cultivation level now being higher than Mo Que's, he no longer needs Mo Yuanjiao's close protection, so General Mo won't be worried.

The Mo Household are all decisive and straightforward. Although they are about to part ways, General Mo and his two sons did not show any signs of reluctance.

Mo Yuanjiao's elder brother simply smiled and said to Mo Yuanjiao:

"Little brother, take good care of Grandmother and Mother, and take good care of yourself too."

Mo Erge looked at Mo Yuanjiao intently, and after Mo Dage finished speaking, he nodded vigorously to indicate, "Me too."

Mo Yuanjiao understood, and patted his chest to assure her:

"Don't worry, I'll take better care of you than you would!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Mo's smile vanished, and he decisively turned around and said:

"Alright, you should just leave now. I don't want to see you anymore."

General Mo bid a brief farewell to Old Madam Mo and Madam Mo on the other side, then left the spirit boat. He walked about ten meters away, stopped, and waved his hand at Mo Yuanjiao, saying:

Let's set off.

Mo Yuanjiao took out his unused salary spirit Spirit Stone and put them into the Spirit Stone collection point inside the spirit boat.

After all, the journey is so long. If he were to use only Spiritual Power to transport so many people, it would be impossible even if he were completely drained, unless he traveled and stopped intermittently.

However, considering his grandmother's health condition, it was obviously inappropriate to take too long to travel, so Mo Yuanjiao had no choice but to take out his salary.

And you know what? Because he's usually keen on studying and inscribing formations, he's accumulated over a thousand Spirit Stone in the past six months.
