'I must search for treasures that can increase my comprehension. Or… maybe a good brain?'

Zhiran thought, feeling his weakness.

'Forget it… Let's go outside and breathe in some fresh air to relax for now. I will leave for that Secret Realm tomorrow.'

He thought and stood up, leaving his courtyard and going to the garden. Outside was already dark, and the moon was already high up in the sky.

Surprisingly, even though this was a different world, the moon was very similar to the one on Earth, causing him to recall a distant memory, although there was not much there to remember.

"Is it beautiful?"

Just as Zhiran was relaxing his body and mind while gazing at the stars and moon in the pitch black sky, someone came near him and asked lightly in a soft voice.

"Hmm?"

Zhiran turned around and looked, only to see a beautiful, mature figure smiling slightly at him with tender eyes.

"Aunt Lianhua?"

She was Mo Lianhua, mother of Tianyu. This was the second time he met her on this visit, as he was quite busy these days.

But no matter how many times he met her, he always felt that she looked wonderful and extremely warm. To be honest, even though he hated her son, he felt no bad feelings about her in the slightest.

"Yeah! Zhiran, you have changed so much."

Lianhua gave a small nod, then turned to look at the sky just like him, showing the graceful line of her neck and the gentle curve of her profile.

"Changed? Are you talking about my realm?"

"No, not that…"

Lianhua shook her head and placed her finger on her chin as if thinking.

"Umm… how should I say…you seem more mature?"

Lianhua said as if finding it hard to express. As someone close to him in this family, she noticed his oddness the moment he arrived.

Compared to Tianyu, his behavior had completely changed, although she did not know if it was because of his increased strength.

"Mature, huh?"

Zhiran shook his head slightly and gazed at the sky again. For him, maturity and immaturity did not matter. As long as he was strong enough, there was no problem even if others considered him immature.

Like Lian Yue, even though she was immature by every standard, was she not still the most important figure in the Divine Cauldron Sect?

"Anyway, Zhiran, do you know what happened to Tianyu? Why is his mood so bad these days? Did something happen in the mine?"

The reason Lianhua appeared here was to ask about her son. She did not know what had happened, but Tianyu seemed extremely restless.

He was hellbent on leaving this place and returning to the sect. He even argued with her in anger and did not even say goodbye before leaving.

Although the relationship between her and her son was not very good from the beginning due to the issue with his father, she still felt bad when he left like this.

To be honest, she felt extremely lonely in this place. Now that her son was already grown up, she started thinking about returning to her clan, although she felt quite afraid.

"Tianyu? I do not know. Why, what happened?"

Zhiran shook his head and asked lightly. Although he knew why that guy was so restless, he was not going to tell her.

"I do not know either. He just seemed anxious and would not listen to me. He even left without saying goodbye."

Lianhua said, biting her red lips, feeling a little sad. In the moonlight, her mature figure and solemn expression made her look quite pitiful.

Seeing her like that, Zhiran suddenly felt a strong urge to hug and comfort her. Fortunately, he stopped himself.

"Well… maybe something happened, and he was in a hurry? Do not worry about it."

Zhiran did not know what to say, so he just consoled her lightly.

To be honest, he was already thinking about the disappearance of Lianhua in his previous life.

'I do not know what happened at that time.'

He thought as he saw Lianhua smiling at him slightly.

"Okay, I think you are right. There is no point brooding over this. Anyway, you rest here, and I will go and sleep. I am quite tired."

She said before turning around and leaving the garden, her impressive figure swaying left and right.

Zhiran looked at her voluptuous figure until she disappeared from his view and stretched lightly with a yawn.

'It seems I need to take a nap to recover. Fatigue of the soul is not that easy to mitigate.'

He thought and turned around, intending to return to his room, when he suddenly felt someone's gaze.

No, it was not a gaze but a sweeping divine sense of a Foundation Realm cultivator. It was so sneaky that if not for his own divine sense, he would never have noticed it.

'Who is it? Is it… the clan leader?'

Although Zhiran felt the divine sense, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he acted normally and entered his room as if nothing had happened.

Only after he entered his room did he feel the gaze disappear completely.

'It does not seem like the clan leader.'

Zhiran thought there was no need for Mo Jian to keep track of him.

'Then… who could it be?'

He thought, but it did not take long for him to pinpoint someone. After all, aside from the clan leader, only Yan Xi was at the Foundation Realm here and possessed divine sense.

'What the hell is she planning?'

Zhiran felt curious about this girl who stayed behind even when Tianyu left. He suspected she might have taken his advice in the meeting hall seriously.

'Tch… tch… it seems that girl Mei Xuan might suffer today. But considering her identity, she might even trick that naive girl Yan Xi, haha.'

He thought with a smile before lying down on his bed.

Of course, he still took out the jade array given to him by Elder Yan Yue for emergencies.

He could not let his guard down, could he?
