father
He then returned to his room with a perfectly normal expression.
After a short rest, Mo Zuili entered the cultivation room to meditate.
However, Mo Zuili did not draw qi into her body; she simply closed her eyes and sat cross-legged as usual.
Mo Zuili thought to herself, "Mo Yuan is probably starting to doubt me."
Based on Qi Shuyan's words, it is highly likely that Mo Yuan used a secret technique similar to hypnosis to examine Qi Shuyan's memories.
However, with the system's protection, and given that Qi Shuyan's body had no memories before his transmigration, Mo Yuan probably didn't find out anything.
Qi Shuyan rushed to find him because she wanted to remind him to be careful.
Recalling the details of her interactions with Mo Yuan after transmigrating into the book, Mo Zuili thought her disguise was pretty good.
The main reason is that the character's personality has many similarities to my own; otherwise, I wouldn't like such a virtual character so much.
In the novel, the protagonist claims to have been raised by Mo Yuan, so it's normal that he didn't realize something was wrong when he lost his memory.
But after being here for so long, the differences between myself and the person I pushed have become apparent in the details.
When she first transmigrated into the book, Mo Zuili searched for a long time but couldn't find any information about the blood-red magic circle beneath her.
Given Mo Yuan's concern for his daughter, he will definitely conduct a thorough reinvestigation after he goes to Medicine King Mountain.
I don't know exactly how much he found out.
Mo Zuili slowly opened her eyes. Mo Yuan only had some doubts about Qi Shuyan at the moment, and it hadn't reached the point where he would personally examine her memories.
It's highly likely he didn't find any useful clues; he probably just felt strange about his current situation after spending time with him.
"Phew." Mo Zuili exhaled, her eyes hardening.
Unless he was forced to question himself, it meant that Mo Yuan was also unsure.
The transmigration into a book was too bizarre; Mo Zuili bet that the world's ordinary methods wouldn't be able to uncover it.
As long as one enters the Immortal Valley and finds a way to consolidate one's cultivation, the affairs of the demon race are still under control. Even if one leaves this place, it is easy to choose to push oneself back.
The hatred between myself and Huang Tianyao...
Mo Zuili took a deep breath. At worst, she could send a message to Zhu Hehong before leaving, telling him that if she didn't want the Demon King's position after returning from the retreat, she should have Zhu Hehong help her beat up before Huang Tianyao took the throne.
In short, as long as I find a way to consolidate my cultivation in the Immortal Valley, I can leave with peace of mind.
With the self-reproach, Mo Yuan's suspicions will also disappear.
After getting up and stretching for a while, Mo Zuili kept repeating to herself, "These are the last few days."
No matter what conspiracy the system has, you'll find out once you enter the Immortal Valley.
On the bright side, everything will proceed as you expect.
The next day.
Mo Zuili approached Mo Yuan early on, taking the initiative to say that she wanted to talk about the Immortal Valley.
Mo Yuan remained as easygoing and gentle as ever when facing Mo Zuili, a stark contrast to the Shura who was interrogating him in Qi Shuyan's mind.
Mo Zuili entered and got straight to the point: "Father, I want to enter the Immortal Valley. My physical foundation is unstable, and I definitely won't be able to maintain it once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It is said that there are many opportunities and magical artifacts in the Immortal Valley. If I have good luck, I might not only be able to solve the problem of my unstable foundation, but I might also be able to find a way to awaken my memories."
Before Mo Yuan could speak, Mo Zuili continued, polishing the reason she had prepared beforehand, and then uttered it all in one breath: "I know that you, Father, have been very worried about my memories, even though you haven't said it. Actually, I'm quite troubled by it too."
"In the past, I may have kept some things from you for some reason, but now I can't even remember them myself. I can mostly only judge based on my feelings, and I really want to recover my memory as soon as possible."
After listening, Mo Yuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "If you want to go in, I naturally won't stop you. But before you go in, I have to ask you something."
Mo Zuili's breath caught in her throat for a moment, but she no longer considered herself the novice cultivator she was when she first transmigrated into the book, her body tense and her mind filled with wild thoughts.
In just a moment, Mo Zuili had completely adjusted her state.
"Father, what is it?" Mo Zuili replied with a smile.
Mo Zuili had considered many of these questions last night. Even when Mo Yuan asked her directly if she was a transmigrator, Mo Zuili was able to calm him down with words.
"you……"
The answers to various questions floated through Mo Zuili's mind.
"...What are your plans for the demon race?"
Mo Zuili: "Huh?"
Mo Yuan smiled warmly and repeated, "What are your plans for the demon race in the future? After leaving the Immortal Valley, are you preparing to inherit Yingyan's position?"
The shift was quite drastic. Mo Zuili was fully focused on dealing with the probing questions about her identity, but what she got in return was her plans for the future.
Clearing her throat, Mo Zuili looked at Mo Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth, saying, "I have no plans yet. I originally intended to make a decision about the Demon King's position after I found a way to consolidate my foundation."
Now that the Immortal Valley has suddenly opened, and there are many opportunities within it, I believe I can find a way to solidify my foundation.
"After we leave the Immortal Valley, the matter of the demon race will be decided."
Once they find a way, they'll leave an explanation for their self-promotion and then immediately depart.
The novel never mentions the position of Demon King, and Mo Zuili is unsure of Zituo's true intentions.
Based on her understanding of self-promotion, she knew that if a person of mixed human and demon blood wanted to ascend to immortality, they must never change their cultivation method midway.
He's unlikely to become the Demon King, but he'll naturally want to get as much of the demon race's cultivation resources as possible.
After all, to reach the Great Way, one must invest countless resources along the way.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to simply withdraw cleanly and hand over all resources to Huang Tianyao.
Even if their luck was incredibly bad, Immortal Valley still couldn't find a way to solidify its foundation.
The system's words also indicate that Immortal Valley is definitely not ordinary.
Once I enter the Immortal Valley, there will definitely be a turning point regarding my transmigration into the book.
After hearing Mo Zuili's answer, Mo Yuan remained silent and made no move or reply for a long time.
Mo Zuili, who was waiting anxiously, was about to say something more when she heard Mo Yuan finally speak: "It's good that you know what you're doing. Whether it's entering the Immortal Valley or the Demon Clan, you must remember your purpose and why you are doing these things. Don't let external things distract you."
Mo Zuili's mind went blank for a moment. My purpose?
He cleaned up the mess he left behind, apologized to himself for taking over her body and identity, and then returned to the modern world with Qi Shuyan.
The thought had barely crossed Mo Zuili's mind when she saw Mo Yuan still staring straight at her, waiting for her answer.
Mo Zuili blinked. Was this the purpose of pushing herself away?
One student, after completing a revision, inexplicably regressed, and was criticized as useless within the book, while being treated as a decorative vase by readers outside the book.
But in a corner where the author didn't mention him, was it Mo Zuili, who never stopped cultivating and even almost went mad because of it?
Mo Zuili suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "No. My goal will never change. No matter who I fall in love with or what setbacks I encounter, I will never give up cultivating immortality and becoming an immortal!"
Mo Yuan paused for a moment, and after a long while, as if he had thought of something, his smile became extremely gentle. He said softly, "Don't push yourself too hard. Even though your cultivation level regressed due to the Nirvana Fire, you are still a genius of the continent at your current age and at the peak of the Golden Core stage."
The path to enlightenment is long and arduous; you will go further than any of us in the future.
Mo Zuili smiled, a rare gentle smile, and said, "I think so too. I will definitely go far in the future and will definitely... achieve my wish."
Later, Mo Zuili and Mo Yuan discussed the matter of entering the Immortal Valley in detail.
To Mo Zuili's surprise, Mo Yuan decided to personally take her inside.
Mo Zuili's initial reaction was to refuse, after all, once the suspicion was established, the more time they spent together, the more she would expose herself.
Moreover, Mo Yuan's suspicions were correct; there really was a problem with his identity.
But Mo Zuili then realized that Mo Yuan's strength was still guaranteed. After entering the Immortal Valley, in addition to eliminating the inherent dangers of the Immortal Valley itself, there was also a system on her side whose purpose was unknown.
The system is crucial to whether I can return to the modern world, and also to whether I can return safely again.
At the crucial moment, even if it's for her own sake, Mo Zuili believes that Mo Yuan, as his true biological daughter, would step in to protect her.
Just when Mo Zuili thought she had successfully gotten away with it after the conversation ended.
"Do you remember the crimson magic circle near where you woke up?" Mo Yuan asked casually, as if it were just a casual question.
Mo Zuili was almost startled into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, after realizing what had happened, the question was still within Mo Zuili's ability to answer.
After slightly adjusting her posture, Mo Zuili propped her head up and said, "I remember. I woke up inside the magic array and heard Mo Yue's voice as soon as I woke up. Although I don't remember it at the time, I subconsciously thought that the voice was not a good thing, so I hurriedly found a place to hide."
Before leaving the magic circle, I don't know why, but I subconsciously destroyed and erased a part of it.
Mo Zuili didn't lie at all.
Before Mo Yuan could ask further, Mo Zuili continued, "I specifically searched for it during my time in the Demon Realm, but there was no information about the relevant magic array. Mo Yue was cooperating with the Xie siblings, but unfortunately I didn't have the means to interrogate them. In the end, I only managed to kill them with the help of Senior Jiang and my master."
As for other details, I really can't remember, and I don't know why I did it.
Mo Yuan pinched his brow and sighed softly, "I understand. Go back and rest. Take good care of your injuries and don't rush your cultivation. I've already punished the Mo Yue lineage; don't let them affect you."
Mo Zuili nodded, and seeing that Mo Yuan was truly alright, she got up to take her leave.
As she reached the door, Mo Zuili couldn't help but glance back.
Mo Yuan remained seated, one hand supporting his forehead, the other stroking the rim of the cooled teacup.
Sunlight streamed through the wooden window, casting dappled shadows around Mo Yuan. Mo Zuili inexplicably sensed an imperceptible weariness and loneliness emanating from Mo Yuan.
Mo Zuili's heart tightened for no reason, and she couldn't help but say, "Father."
Mo Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Mo Zuili with tenderness.
"It's good to be back from Immortal Valley. I'm sure I'll be able to regain my memories after I get back."
