Du Family seemed to be a huge race within the Carefree Sect.

"It seems like you have some background, and you actually have a connection with Carefree Sect." Lord Kuang opened his cloudy eyes and said to Du Shaomu.

"How strong are your Carefree Sect?"

Du Shaomu asked Lord Kuang, with the Martial Emperor Stage elder's cultivation strength, what he knew was probably not as clear as Lord Kuang.

Lord Kuang seemed to know what Du Shaomu was asking about, and said: "Those old bastards from the Carefree Sect wouldn't come out so easily, the others won't be able to enter the Du Family."

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Kuang." Du Shaomu Di said.

"Young Master, the Madam told you to come back, so go find her."

Du Xiaohou said to Du Shaomu, remembering Madam's instructions.

"Alright."

Du Shaomu nodded. He came straight to Lord Kuang just now, and at this moment, there were indeed some things that he needed to ask his mother.

Moments later, Du Shaomu saw his mother, Jiang Rou, in the pavilion in the backyard.

Jiang Rou seemed to have been waiting for Du Shaomu for a long time as she instructed the servants and maids to leave.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Rou was dressed in plain clothes, and the beauty of her youth could be vaguely seen on her face.

Staring at the full moon in the sky and Du Shaomu approaching, Jiang Rou was the first to speak. In a gentle voice, she said, "When your father left, he told me that if I missed him, I would look at the moon. It's been fourteen years, but I don't know where your father is now, or if he's alive or dead!"

"Mother."

Du Shaomu stood behind Jiang Rou. From these words, it seemed that his father had been gone for fourteen years and his mother did not know whether he was dead or alive.

"There are some things that I didn't want you to know, but from the looks of it, it's impossible for you to not know about them now."

Jiang Rou turned around and smiled at Du Shaomu. "Sit down. I've told you everything I've wanted to know since you were young."

Du Shaomu nodded and sat beside his mother.

"Sixteen years ago, Mother was still a disciple of Ice Phoenix Divine Hall and she entered the world of cultivation through Ice Phoenix Divine Hall. It was also at that time that I met your father."

There was a smile on her face as she continued, "Back then, your father wholeheartedly cultivated with no distractions in his heart. As a disciple of Ice Phoenix Divine Hall, I knew that I was unable to be together with your father, but there were some things that I was unable to control on my own. When your father returned to the Carefree Sect, he had originally planned to speak of this matter with the family. Only then did he learn that the Du Family had already arranged for a marriage for him half a year ago!

"The one who's betrothed to my father is from Carefree Sect."

Du Shaomu said. He had gotten quite a few things from the Martial Emperor Stage Elder's soul search.

It seemed like the father of the past, Du Wenyuan, was extremely talented, and the one with Heelian Family was also extremely talented. Within the Carefree Sect, he was always seen as a golden couple, a match made in heaven.

Then, somehow, under the condition that his father, Du Wenyuan, did not know, Heelian Family and Du Family were set up as marriage.

"After your father learned about this, he personally came to the Heelian Family to cancel the engagement, angered the people with Heelian Family, and allowed the people with Heelian Family to heavily injure them. The power of the Heelian Family far surpasses that of the Du Family, and even after severely injuring your father, he was still unwilling to give up, and still wanted to make a move against Du Family."

He said bitterly: "At that time, even if I carried you in my stomach, I still wouldn't be able to wrap the flames in a lantern. After being informed by the Ice Phoenix Divine Hall, according to the rules of Divine Hall, I should erase you and imprison you for another hundred years. I, Master, have shown mercy by allowing me to take you out of the Divine Hall, but you are no longer a disciple of Ice Phoenix Divine Hall."

"Mother, you've suffered!"

Du Shaomu's heart ached. His mother said it was easy, but he was afraid it wouldn't be easy at Ice Phoenix Divine Hall back then.

A body of cultivation that had been crippled and their auras dried up was definitely not someone that could leave the Divine Hall with just a few words.

"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. It's your father who's suffering!"0

Jiang Rou said to Du Shaomu: "Your father is the one who is truly suffering, your father abandoned his own cultivation for our mother and son, for Du Family, and left the Du Family from then on. But that Heelian Family was still unwilling to stop, and he sent experts to kill all three of our family members.

After a pause in her speech, Jiang Rou looked at the bright moon in the sky and continued, "Afterwards, your father brought us to this couple's land and hid our identities within the North Cloud City."

"Then why would my father leave?" Du Shaomu asked.

"Because the Heelian Family does not want to rest, your father is afraid that he will not be so lucky next time, so he wants to cultivate anew. Only then will he be able to protect us, mother and son."

Jiang Rou looked at Du Shaomu, stroked his face, and said softly, "Shaomu, don't blame your father. He didn't mean to leave us behind."

"No wonder, he did the right thing!"

Du Shaomu shook his head. Even Du Wenyuan couldn't bear to leave his wife and children. However, in order to protect them, he had no choice but to leave. Only by successfully cultivating would he be able to protect his wife and children.

"Today, the people who have come are people from the Carefree Sect, and also people from the Heelian Family. The whereabouts of mother and son, as well as people from the Heelian Family, are already known."

Jiang Rou looked worried and said to Du Shaomu, "Looks like we really have to move this time."

"Mother, if we leave the North Cloud City, how will Father find us when we return?" Du Shaomu said to Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou's face slightly frowned when she heard this.

"Don't worry mother, everything will be fine." Du Shaomu comforted his mother.

"… …"

Haoyue in the sky, Moon Star in the dark.

The North Cloud City was immersed in the moonlight as the bright moon slowly moved through the dark blue sky.

Many demonic beast s entered the North Cloud City, their imposing manner powerful, and directly rushed towards the Du Family.

The ones who came were Protector Pei and the rest of Heavenly Martial Sect's people, but they didn't see Shang Muyan. It seemed that Protector Pei purposely did not bring Shang Muyan along.

An outer sect disciple with Heavenly Martial Sect knocked on the door. A servant opened the door and looked at the demonic beast that was riding on it. Sensing that the temperament of the person was not ordinary, he was secretly shocked and immediately went to find Chief Steward Du Xiaohou.

Du Xiaohou walked out and swept his gaze outside the door.

"Please tell your young master, we are disciples of Heavenly Martial Sect, we, Protector Pei, want to see your young master."

The Heavenly Martial Sect disciple who called for him was deeply shocked during the day, thus, he gave Du Xiaohou some face.

Furthermore, Protector Pei had specially instructed them on the way here that they had to be polite when they reached Du Family. Whoever provoked Du Shaomu again would be directly expelled from Heavenly Martial Sect.

"So what if you have Heavenly Martial Sect? So what if you're the protector? Is our young master someone that you can see whenever you want to, and even allow our young master to rest? We'll talk outside the door tomorrow morning, we'll leave if we can't wait."
