Chapter 108 The Revival of Spiritual Qi: My Mother is a Cultivator (Part 14)
"Ranran, next up is the time for the top three elders to share their cultivation experiences. Let's go listen too."
Si Ran nodded after hearing this.
"Sure, it would be great if we could learn some cultivation methods."
"But what about Yinchuan and the others? Aren't they going?"
Si Ran looked at her three senior brothers who had disappeared in no time and asked them in confusion.
"Hey, Yinchuan and the others went a long time ago. When we get there, we'll probably see them in the front row."
"Then why didn't they wait for us?"
Si Ran was surprised. Since they were all going, why didn't they go together?
"Ahem, actually it's my fault. I always fall asleep whenever I hear people talk about morality. They assume I won't go, but they probably think you're the same as me."
Situ Yao smiled sheepishly, wondering if she, as a senior sister, had set a bad example.
"In that case, let's go take a look."
After making their decision, the two greeted Si Yan and headed there together.
Si Yan was left alone in the chair, drinking tea and eating spiritual fruit, quite content.
[Host, you're still enjoying yourself here? The Wuji Sect has been secretly manipulating your disciples' challenge slots.]
Seeing Si Yan's leisurely demeanor, Xiao Qi became very impatient.
[What are you afraid of? Xiao Qi, they haven't been completely idle while you were gone. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.]
Si Yan picked up a spiritual fruit from the table, put it in her mouth, and replied casually.
[So, if the Wuji Sect arranges the challenge disciples according to their previous understanding, wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?]
Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise, "The host is too amazing! No wonder they weren't allowed to go out before. The Wuji Sect is going to be in trouble now."
Si Yan scoffed after hearing this.
They've been number one for too long; it's time they went down to see the view.
Si Yan then got up and walked outside. She figured Ranran and the others would be listening for a while longer, so she decided to go back to the inn to rest first. There was no point in staying here and exchanging pleasantries with those hypocritical old cultivators.
Not long after Si Yan returned to the inn, Si Ran and the others came back.
"Yaoyao, you don't need to ask me for help next time there's something like this."
Si Ran looked exhausted; she was in so much pain. The elders' explanations were probably incomprehensible to most people.
"Ranran, there won't be a next time. Listening to Master is better than listening to them."
Situ Yao said dejectedly.
"Yaoyao, I really admire Senior Brother and the others. They listened with great interest."
Si Ran rested her chin on her hands, looking on with admiration.
It's true that there are always top students and underachievers, no matter where you are.
"Alright, alright, it's still early, how about we go check out the market first?"
Situ Yao seemed to have come up with a good idea and happily suggested it.
"Okay."
Seeing Si Yan's tightly closed door, Si Ran took Situ Yao's arm and walked towards the market.
Along the way, the two walked and stopped frequently, and Si Ran saw some rare things that she had never seen before.
Si Ran was picking up a small, glowing bowl and examining it closely when a sharp female voice suddenly came from beside her.
"This is a jade pendant left to Mu Mu by the Immortal Master. Are you qualified to even look at it?"
"Don't worry about her, Mu Mu. She just can't stand seeing others do well."
The woman in blue spoke softly to Bai Mumu in front of her.
"Mu Qing, don't bite the hand that feeds you. That Bai Mumu can't resonate with the jade pendant. I suspect her and want to take the jade pendant to see what's wrong."
The woman in white said angrily.
"Also, Mu Qing, I heard that Master Ye Ling will be appearing at this sect competition. It would be quite a show if he found out that you found an imposter."
The woman in white scoffed and left with her fellow disciples.
The Lingyue Sect members were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and Mu Qing couldn't help but give Bai Mumu a scrutinizing look.
"Mumu, are you sure this jade pendant was left to you by your mother?"
Bai Mumu was terrified, but she still replied calmly.
"Of course, Sister Muqing, I am just a child taken in by my mother, so I cannot resonate with the jade pendant. But this jade pendant was indeed left to me by my mother, but she is no longer here."
Bai Mumu frowned as she spoke, looking sad.
Seeing this, Mu Qing didn't say anything and left with Bai Mumu and the others.
Si Ran, who was standing to the side, looked thoughtfully in the direction Bai Mumu left.
That jade pendant looks so familiar; it looks just like something my mother always wears close to her body.
And isn't Bai Mumu the eldest daughter of the Bai family? When did she become adopted?
I saw Mother Bai before I came to the cultivation world. Wasn't she alive and well?
It seems there's something fishy about that jade pendant.
"Ranran, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Situ Yao was about to share the good stuff she found with Si Ran when she saw Si Ran looking thoughtful.
"Yaoyao, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao shrugged and led Si Ran back.
Upon arriving at the inn, they saw Si Yan already sitting and resting outside.
Seeing this, Si Ran walked towards Si Yan.
"Mom, do you still have the jade pendant you always wore close to your body?"
Si Yan shook her head.
"It's gone. I found it missing when I woke up in the cultivation world. It probably fell into that corner."
Hearing Si Yan's answer, Si Ran suddenly realized.
So this is why Bai Mumu has been targeting me all this time. But she probably doesn't know that her mother, Si Yan, is still alive, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words today.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that jade pendant?"
Seeing Si Ran's puzzled expression, Si Yan asked softly.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered. But Mom, if you saw the family you've been searching for in the cultivation world, wouldn't you be very happy?"
Si Ran's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she looked up at Si Yan and asked steadily.
"Ranran, what's wrong? Aren't you the only family Mommy has here?"
Si Yan replied with amusement.
"Mom, oh dear, that's not what I meant, but you should be able to find out the truth tomorrow."
After saying that, Si Ran ran back to her guest room to rest.
"Ranran, that girl, always only says half of what she means."
Si Yan shook her head helplessly.
"Master, we're back."
The sudden shouts from Yinchuan interrupted Si Yan's thoughts.
"Master, big news! I heard that some celestial masters from above will be attending this conference."
After saying this, Yinchuan looked smug, thinking that he must have been well-informed.
"Master, I wonder if this immortal master is related to the one from before."
Lu Yunqi said with concern.
"Senior Brother, why are you so pessimistic? I've heard that it's a Celestial Master named Ye Ling who came to our cultivation world to find his blood relatives. He doesn't care about us anymore."
Yinchuan offered a casual reassurance.
But Yinchuan didn't know that this Master Ye Ling really had some connection with them, or more precisely, with Si Yan.
