Episode 29 Night

  The night gradually deepened, and the noise of the daytime had long since disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by the tranquility that belonged to the black night. As the season was about to enter autumn, the evening weather also began to cool down a bit. The night wind wrapped around the falling yellow leaves, and in the midst of silence, it howled angrily, swirling...

  In a humble corner of the magnificent Blackstone Castle, in an unassuming small courtyard, a room lit by warm candlelight drove away the darkness and illuminated the space within.

  At this time, Duan Yun's face was pale and she lay quietly on the bed in the corner, while Duan Yue sat on the edge of the bed, tidying up the bedding.

  Although she was once a master of the innate realm, unfortunately, sixteen years ago, her cultivation had all dissipated. For a martial artist, once they lose their cultivation, their body will also suffer extreme damage, to the point where they are not even as good as an ordinary person.

  The probability of rebirth is extremely small, unless one obtains a divine elixir like Duan Yue's, but such an elixir would be impossible to find even if one searched the entire Divine Martial Continent. Even Duan Yue's was obtained through summoning space and has little relation to this world.

  So, most warriors who have lost their cultivation will inevitably face a bleak life, and Duan Yun is no exception. Moreover, in the past sixteen years, she has been overworked to take care of the tragic man, and her body has deteriorated to an extreme degree. Today, although the maid Qing'er's palm did not fall, the surging true energy had already harmed her body, which was why Duan Yue was enraged and killed her with a single blow.

  Lying on the bed, Duan Yun's face was pale, but her eyes looking at Duan Yue still held an unspoken concern and gentleness. Unlike usual, today her gaze had a hint of relief and joy.

  "Tragic guy, although your body was occupied by a brother, it also brought hope to your mother. If you have a spirit in heaven, you should be able to rest in peace now."

  Duan Yue let out a soft sigh in his heart, but a faint smile floated onto his face as he comforted her, "Mother, your body was injured by the true energy, although you've taken the Nourishing Rest Dan, you still need to rest well for a while, go to bed early."

  Duan Yun murmured to herself, a faint smile on her face, but tears streamed down uncontrollably. It wasn't until much, much later that her sobs finally subsided. After releasing the emotions she had suppressed for sixteen years, a hint of vitality miraculously appeared on her face.

  "Yue Er, although you now have a remarkable strength, next year is the family's decade-long trial competition. In this situation, you must be extremely cautious and never act impulsively. Endure if you can, otherwise, I fear someone might do you harm..."

  After venting her emotions slightly, Duan Yun looked at Duan Yue with some worry. She wasn't clear about what level Duan Yue's cultivation had reached, but he was after all too young, and his cultivation time was too short. Even if he was exceptionally talented, it was impossible for him to rival those veteran masters.

  So-called former noble lady, plus everything she has experienced in more than 20 years, makes Duan Yun have a very deep understanding of the internal power struggle within the family. Open gunfire and secret arrows, sinister plots, the degree of danger is unimaginable!

  "Today, you shouldn't have made a move..."

  "Mother!" At this point, Duan Yue could no longer hold back, his nose souring as he interrupted Duan Yun: "Don't worry, I have my own plans in mind."

  All along, Duan Yun's starting point for doing everything was to consider the tragic man, even if she herself was hurt, she couldn't harm the tragic man in any way.

  A mother's love is like this, transcending all boundaries, nothing can be compared with it!

  For a moment, Duan Yue couldn't help but feel a little envious of that tragic man. He had indeed suffered greatly, but by his side, there was always such a loving mother who cared for him. But immediately after, a faint smile floated onto Duan Yue's face - no matter what the past held, now, she was also her own mother!

  "But..."

  Duan Yizhang opened her mouth, just about to say something, but when she saw the smile on Duan Yue's face, the words that had just reached her lips were suddenly swallowed back. Her expression suddenly shook, and then the look on her face changed in an instant, inexplicably revealing a hint of daze.

  That year... He also often laughed at himself like this...

  In a daze, the Duan Yue in front of her seemed to be gradually merging with another shadow in her mind.........it was hard to distinguish.........

  "Mom? Mom? What's wrong......?"

  Duan Yun's expression changed, and Duan Yue subconsciously furrowed his brow, calling out to her in a low voice.

  "Oh…….hmm, since you have your own plans in mind, I'm at ease now…….it's getting late, go back to your room and rest, you still need to cultivate..."

  Duan Yue called out several times, and Duan Yun finally came back to her senses, but the expression on her face was still tinged with a few parts of panic, and in the depths of her eyes, there was a faint flash of desolation and sorrow.

  He glanced at his mother Duan Yun unexpectedly, and a hint of doubt flashed across Duan Yue's eyes... but he didn't ask anything more.

  "Mom, I'm back, don't worry about me, go rest early."

  Duan Yue stepped out of his mother Duan Yun's room, gently closing the door behind him. Faintly, he heard a murmured voice coming from inside the room:

  "Beautiful one, sorrow of parting... feelings broken, hard to retain, looking back again, regretting not meeting at the right time..."

  He shut the door tightly, and a look of puzzlement flashed across his face. He thought carefully about the reason for his mother's sudden change in mood, but after thinking for half a day, he still had no clue, so he could only give up reluctantly.

  Returning to his own room, Duan Yue casually tossed the Lingyin Fox in his arms onto the bed, took off the blood-stained blue shirt on his body, sat cross-legged on his own bed, took a few deep breaths, and half-closed his eyes. A hint of contemplation flashed across the depths of his pupils.

  "In the past few days, most of the maids in the mansion were just ordinary servants with no extraordinary abilities. It's unlikely that the higher-ups or direct descendants of the Zhuang family would have planted any spies among them. This intimidation tactic I used today should be effective."

  "The only uncertain factor is that '贵管事', whose cultivation at the sixth level of the peak tomorrow is not a big deal, but it's unknown whether he is subordinate to others. However, this possibility is also small, after all, his position is not significant enough to enter the circle of power struggle in the Zhī Jiāng Zhuāng Yuán. Unfortunately, he is also a minor manager, otherwise, I would have killed him today and wouldn't have to worry about it."

  Duan Yue's mind was clear that in this branch estate, the powers of various factions were intertwined, much like a miniature version of the Duan family headquarters in Nan Yue City. Although he had the strongest power here, it didn't mean he could compare to those senior masters at the Duan family headquarters. Once news got out, he would inevitably be pushed to the forefront and subjected to all sorts of schemes, plots, and attacks, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

  However, this person seems to be quite aware of the situation. After realizing his own strength, he should make a choice...

  That tragic man is so miserable because he doesn't have enough talent, can't condense his true energy to cultivate, otherwise, with his original identity as a direct descendant, plus his proud natural talent, I'm afraid he would already be a hot figure in the family headquarters now.

  And now, the strength that one has shown is far beyond what others of the same age should have. In this world where the strong are respected, that 'noble' will probably make the right choice!

  "It's useless to think too much, what's most important now is to enhance one's strength as quickly as possible within the shortest time, the stronger the better!"

  Duan Yue shook his head and smiled, immediately dismissing the chaotic thoughts in his mind. With a flicker of his heart, a jade box suddenly appeared in his palm. He opened it to reveal the thousand-year-old water-elemental Zhu Guo.

  Taking a deep breath, he tilted his head back and swallowed the crimson fruit. A rich spiritual energy surged in his abdomen as Duan Yue silently circulated the North Ming Divine Technique, beginning tonight's cultivation...
