Chapter Sixty: Light Dance

  The sky is overcast with dark clouds, sprinkled with light drizzle, a hazy scene.

  Under the blue sky, mist locks the majestic peak

  A white figure like a shadow or an illusion, flashed across the sky in an instant, entering this thick cloud of sorrow and mist.

  After passing through the white fog, everything in front of me became clear and bright.

  Under the cover of this year-round thick fog, there is a broken peak.

  A towering peak that pierced the sky was cut off at the waist, transformed into a gigantic platform shrouded in thick fog. On the platform stood a courtyard.

  There is only this one courtyard.

  If this mountain peak is a natural fracture or it was originally like this, then that's fine. But if it was deliberately cut off just to build this courtyard, then it can be said to be a big move, even in the cultivation world, it counts as one of the top two big moves.

  A figure descended through the thick fog and landed within the courtyard, completely disregarding the numerous restrictions in place.

  He just stood there for a while, but didn't take a step forward.

  A ray of sunlight, through the thick fog, shone on his face, and his features were clearly reflected in the water pool beside him. It was an old acquaintance of Kong Yan's, Chen Sen.

  His emotions were very complicated at this time, wanting to leave but also having a thread of reluctance. He stared fixedly at the red lacquered gate of the inner courtyard for a long time before finally letting out a deep sigh and walking towards the gate.

  The door opened silently.

  "Father-in-law, you've arrived!" A man with a wispy beard stood respectfully on the stone path behind the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

  "I never acknowledged this marriage in the first place, so you don't need to call me father-in-law either."

  "That's your opinion, so you can't deny the fact even if you don't admit it!"

  "The fact is that my daughter is now half-dead and following you, and you're completely helpless!" Chen Sen said coldly, staring at the man in front of him. "Mo Xiu, don't forget, you promised me something!"

  "I've never given up!" Mo Xiu raised his head, not avoiding Chen Sen's gaze that could almost kill him, "Not now, nor will I in the future!"

  "That's good!" Chen Sen nodded and hummed coldly, without saying another word. He quickened his pace and walked towards the house, leaving Mo Xiu with only his back view.

  Mo Xiu looked somewhat helpless, shook his head and followed Chen Sen from behind.

  ………

  …………

  There is some desolation and some melancholy in the house.

  A woman in white sat quietly on the jade bed, her big eyes open but lifeless, staring at the door, completely unaware of the two people walking in from outside.

  "Light dance, father has come to see you!" Chen Sen walked gently to the edge of the jade bed, carefully looking at the woman in front of him, as if afraid of startling her. On his face, doting, sadness, and heartache intertwined in a silent voice, condensing the air inside the room.

  Mo Xiu stood by, his eyes fixed on the woman in white, looking a bit dazed and pained.

  It wasn't until much later that Chen Sen raised his head, and the expression on his face also eased a bit. "Is everything going smoothly?"

  "Three souls and seven spirits, I've already found one soul and two spirits!" Mo Xiu said, pointing to the jade bottle on the cabinet beside the jade bed. "I still need time!"

  "Can you be certain that these two souls and five spirits are still lingering in the mortal world?"

  "The light dance cultivates the heavenly star's vital energy, at the time of crisis, the three souls and seven spirits have already condensed into an unshakeable stability. Although they were scattered, they will absolutely not disperse, nor will they fall into the underworld! Mo Xiu's gaze was still fixed on that white-clothed woman called Light Dance, 'As long as she is still in the mortal world, I must find her, no matter if it takes a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years, I will find her!'"

  "I've heard this many times before!"

  "In fact, I have already found one soul and two spirits!"

  The two people's eyes met, and sparks flew between them.

  Finally, Chen Sen withdrew his gaze and reluctantly took another look at the woman in white. He then pulled out a white jade porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Mo Xiu, "This is the Caoxuan Dan I've been refining recently. Give it to Qingwu on time!"

  "Thank you, father-in-law!"

  "Don't call me father-in-law, it's annoying!" Chen Sen said with a cold face, very dissatisfied.

  Mo Xiu didn't say another word, silently taking over the porcelain bottle. The two of them fell into silence once again.

  After a while, Chen Sen suddenly laughed and said, "Are you very anxious in your heart?"

  "What?!" Mo Xiu looked puzzled and raised his head to look at Chen Sen.

  "Are you thinking in your heart that after watching the light dance, why haven't you left yet, why are you still lingering here?"

  "How dare you!"

  "How dare you! Even my daughter dares to seduce you, what else don't you dare to do?!" Chen Sen stood up.

  Mo Xiu suddenly let out a cold laugh, and the respectful expression from earlier was swept away. "Yes, I dare to do anything. I seduced your daughter, so what? What can you do to me? Do you have any way to deal with me?"

  Mo Xiu's voice was very strange, and towards this nominal father-in-law, it seemed that there was no respect to speak of, but instead was full of resentment. "If it wasn't for your obstruction back then, how would things have ended up in such an irretrievable state?"

  "What do you mean by saying that? Are you blaming me?"

  "What's wrong with blaming you?!" Mo Xiu said, not giving an inch.

  "Ah...!" Chen Sen's face changed greatly, and he stood up with a sudden movement. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, but when Chen Sen's gaze fell on the white-clothed woman again, his anger turned into a surge of sorrow, and he didn't continue to scold Mo Xiu.

  "Are you and I now shirking responsibility here?" He asked, staring steadily at Mo Xiu.

  Mo Xiu also lost his temper, "Shifting the blame, what's the point of shifting the blame?!" He said, plopping himself down on the bed, "What you said is right, mutual recrimination is meaningless. But haven't we been living like this all these years?"

  Chen Sen smiled bitterly, "Yes, after all these years, you and I have searched the world over, just to be able to gather the three souls and seven spirits of Qingwu one day, let Qingwu become like she used to be. At that time, I won't care about any of you anymore, do whatever you want!"

  Mo Xiu listened, hehe smiled, and his gaze shifted to the white-clothed woman sitting beside him. "However, as it turns out, this matter is quite strange indeed. Although this world is vast, with our abilities, we spent a whole thirty years searching, yet only found one soul and two spirits. It's really somewhat peculiar!"

  When it comes to this matter, Chen Sen's expression also gradually became serious. "That's right, recently, I've been thinking about this too. The light dance is the cultivation of Tian Xin Yi Qi, and the soul will disperse, so it can only exist in the world, so it must be left in the world. But now, after such a long time, not to mention three souls and seven spirits, even thirty souls and seventy spirits should have been found, but now this situation..."

  "There are only two possibilities left!"

  "It's also the possibility I least want to see!" Chen Sen said, his eyes gradually turning cold.
