"Little beast, stop talking nonsense!”

“You descending the mountain is one thing, but you think you can whisk away Xue'er! I’ll skin you for that!”

This took place on Qianyuan Mountain Range, in the vast land of Jiuzhou.

Within a serene and peaceful valley, that resembled a paradise isolated from reality, a furiously ringing voice suddenly echoed.

"Xue'er, as long as you are willing to descend the mountain with me, the old man has no say over you!"

Yun Mu glanced at the source of the raging roar and sneered, saying in an indifferent and casual manner.

The woman in front of him was as beautiful as her name suggested. Her skin was as white and smooth as snow, emanating a gentle glow in the sunlight.

Despite her silence, the shyness on her face betrayed her true feelings.

“You little scoundrel, if you want to leave, go on, but don’t think about taking Xue'er with you!”

In the distance, a figure vanished as quickly as it had appeared, glaring at Yun Mu in rage.

“Master.”

Upon seeing this person, Yun Mu sneered again, bowing in a respectful manner.

“Master, I have already learned all of your skills.”

“I have spent twenty years in this Qianyuan Mountain Range, staying here would just be a waste of my life.”

“Besides, I want to investigate the truth about my biological parents.”

Looking at the determination in Yun Mu’s eyes, the old man gave a helpless sigh.

"Well then, karma goes around in this world, it is indeed high time we sorted out the matters of the past!"

"I can't disclose the specific details, you'll have to investigate on your own capabilities. However, you just need to know, your birth mother and father didn't intentionally leave you here."

Hearing these words, Yun Mu looked at his master with some surprise.

"After descending the mountain, first go to the Jiangling city, collect the items your parents left for you, and you'll naturally uncover the truth from that year."

As soon as the old man finished his words, he flicked his hand.

A token, dark in its entirety, and shimmering with a golden glow, materialized in Yun Mu's hand.

Upon receiving it, a chilling sensation ran through his body.

Sky Origin.

What surprised Yun Mu the most was that the token was without any decoration except the words "Sky Origin", carved in China's ancient seal script.

"Master, after I descend from the mountain, what should I do about Xue'er’s nirvana wastebody?" Yun Mu asked gently after he tucked away the token, glancing at Jiang Qian Xue standing by his side.

"I’m helpless too. Since this is the case, you should just take Xue'er down the mountain."

Just then, a spirited voice suddenly rang out, followed by the appearance of a graceful silhouette in front of the three.

"Master's wife!”

"Master!"

Upon seeing this person, Yun Mu and Jiang Qianxue immediately paid their respects - a stark contrast to how they had treated the old wayfarer.

"Mu'er, Xue'er has a unique physique. Only your Ancestral Dragon’s Body can suppress it."

"Now that you've learned all the master's skills, there are no other requirements for you in this trip down the mountain. Just one: take good care of Xue'er!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Mu and Jiang Qianxue exchanged a mutual glance.

"I understand, Master's wife!"

After bowing to the two, Yun Mu turned around and left with Jiang Qianxue.

"Ah! I don't know whether this decision is right or wrong!"

Watching the departing figures of Yun Mu and Jiang Qianxue, the old man frowned deeply and sighed.

"You also said, the cycle of cause and effect is ongoing in this world. What happened in those years needs to be solved by Mu'er."

"Besides, isn't gold just a common pond's thing? If Mu'er is to truly become a soaring dragon, he needs to endure the ups and downs of this world."

...

Several hours later, in Jiangling city.

Standing at the entrance of the train station, seeing the constant flow of people, Yun Mu had a surprisingly surreal feeling.

"Senior brother, my family knew I was coming back and they prepared a banquet at the Gathering Moon Pavilion. Will you accompany me?"

Jiang Qianxue pouted her red lips slightly, grasped Yun Mu's arm with both hands, her voice soft and weak, causing one's heart to flutter.

"Okay, okay, I will go with you!"

Yun Mu glanced at the sky, truly couldn't resist Jiang Qianxue's request, he could only nod indulgently.

"Elder brother is the best!"

Jiang Qianxue cheered and began contacting her family.

Meanwhile, Yun Mu looked at the deep night sky, engrossed in his own thoughts.

He had been living on the mountain since childhood, twenty years now. Whenever he brought up his parents, the old man remained silent.

This had led Yun Mu to think that he had been abandoned by his parents.

However, the old man's words today bore a deeper meaning.

Since his parents didn't intentionally left him in the Qian Yuan mountain range, there could only be one possibility - they were forced to.

But, considering the strength of the old man and his master's wife, who in this world would have such ability?

Since the old man sent him to Jiangling city, it means he could surely find some clues here!

Yun Mu secretly decided in his heart that no matter what the reason was back then, he must investigate and bring everything to light.

Even if he encounters numerous obstacles in the process, he does not care, even if it stirs up a storm of blood and violence in the entire Jiangling city, or even the entire Jiuzhou territory!

Just as he was deep in thought, the car slowed to a stop.

Emerging from the pathway, a grand building came into Yun Mu's view.

The whole building was decorated in an ancient style, with an energetic touch here and there, nicely blending old and modern aesthetics.

Looking up, a plaque in the center of the building came into view - The Moon Embrace Pavilion!

"Senior Brother, let's go in, my folks are waiting!"

Regarding Yun Mu, Jiang Qianxue unabashedly hooked Yun Mu's arm, walking slowly into the Moon Embrace Pavilion.

Upon entering, a tremendously large hall appeared in front of Yun Mu.

To welcome and comfort Jiang Qianxue, all members of the Jiang family gathered in the hall.

Beyond that, every notable figure within Jiangling city appeared as well.

"Xue'er!"

A voice full of joy exclaimed, followed by a noble-looking woman walking briskly towards Yun Mu and Jiang Qianxue.

"Mom!"

Jiang Qianxue cheered, running toward her.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I missed you all!"

Looking at the smiling faces of her family, Jiang Qianxue whispered.

"Xue'er, Grandpa missed you too!"

"But, haven't you forgotten something?"

Old Master Jiang was cheerfully looking at Jiang Qianxue.

Upon hearing this, the alerted Jiang Qianxue instantly pulled Yun Mu close, her voice filled with pride as she explained.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is my senior brother, Yun Mu. It is because of him that I was able to make it down the mountain alive. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing me now!"

As her words fell, Old Master Jiang instantly took on a serious expression, looking at Yun Mu with great significance.

The crowd by their side, too, were looking at Yun Mu with shock.

When Jiang Qianxue had just walked in, they had also noticed Yun Mu, but had not put too much thought into it.

Given that Yun Mu was Jiang Qianxue's savior, needless to say, his status in the Jiang family was unquestionable, and not to be ignored.

"Xue'er, tsh, tsh, tsh!"

"Today is a happy day, how can you say things like that?"

A glance at Yun Mu, and Jiang's mother promptly lightly frowned her brows, her expression somewhat unpleasant, she said.

"Qianxue, your aunt is right, today is a day of celebration, let's not talk about that."

Right at this moment, a well-dressed, tall and upright young man emerged from the crowd.

"Qianxue, I heard from your aunt earlier that your health wasn't good, so I specially went to the capital city to ask for a protective charm from Master Lin."

While speaking, the young man took out a delicate small box and held it open proudly before Jiang Qianxue.

"Master Lin? The Capital City?"

"Xiao Shao, could it be that Master Lin who is famous all over the Capital City?"

"Wow! Xiao Shao seems serious!"

"That's right. I heard this Master Lin is extremely powerful; many of the Capital City's high-ranking officials and nobles go to see him!"

Listening to the discussion around him, the smile on Xiao Shicheng's face became brighter. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Qianxue, let me help you put it on!"

As he spoke, Xiao Shicheng moved forward.

"It would be more accurate to call it an evil charm rather than a protective amulet!"

Right when Jiang Qianxue was about to reject him, Yun Mu suddenly stepped in between them with a cold voice,

"If dear Xue were to wear this so-called protective amulet, I fear she won't see tomorrow's sunrise!"
