Chapter 83



Mu Xujing lived in the mountains before entering Beiting Moon Palace.

The mountains are majestic, the forests are vast, and there are many birds and beasts in the forests. When he was young and helpless, he often fought with the beasts in the mountains for food.

Not living like a human being.

Later he heard a rumor: a baby abandoned in the mountains was taken back by a mother wolf to be raised as a wolf cub. The wolves protected and taught it. The wolf cub grew up to be smart and healthy. Not only did he live freely in the mountains, but after being enlightened and taken away by someone, he also made achievements in the world and was praised and celebrated.

Others were talking with great interest and expressing their amazement, but Mu Xujing just listened with a blank expression.

Maybe he was unlucky. The female wolf he met didn't take him back to raise as a cub. Instead, he was used as food and his limbs were almost broken.

Some people are born with bad luck.

He was abandoned for unknown reasons and grew up alone in the mountains.

What saved him from danger several times was the power of the spiritual veins that he found difficult to understand at the time.

Mu Xujing didn't know how to use this power and could only rely on the self-protection of his spiritual vein.

When you are hungry, go find something to eat.

In my spare time, I would squat on a tree and watch the sun, moon and stars in silence.

Most of the time his mind was blank.

Just quietly waiting for time to pass.

After the power of his spiritual veins erupted several times, the animals became afraid of him and ran away when they saw him, and his life became much easier.

When Mu Xujing was six years old, he met villagers who went into the mountains to hunt. The villagers were so frightened by the sight of animals being eaten raw and their horrific appearance that they ran away in a panic.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen one.

It’s just that before, he was in the dark, quietly observing the humans entering the mountains. This time, the two sides met, and he was beaten and scolded as a monster that eats children, so he retreated deeper into the mountains.

He disappeared, but the villagers were worried. It happened that there was a monster causing trouble during that period. People were ignorant and blamed him, so they organized more than ten people to go into the mountains with weapons to encircle and suppress the humanoid monster.

The villagers were determined to kill the monster and get rid of the harm so that they could sleep well in the future.

Therefore, he went deep into the mountains and successfully found the boy who was squatting on a tree and looking at the stars.

At that time, Muxujing had no idea why he was being chased by people. Although he resisted like a beast, he was still caught. His hands and feet were tied to a long pole and he was carried down the mountain.

The first turning point in his unfortunate life came:

When going down the mountain, people encountered cultivators who were fighting against rebellious monsters.

The Taoist was wearing a robe embroidered with cloud-gold patterns and engraved with intricate spells. He had a handsome appearance and powerful skills.

After he killed the monster, he stopped the villagers with his sword and asked, "What are a bunch of adults doing tying up a child like this?"

"Child?"

The villagers were confused.

The Taoist priest cut the rope with a casual sword gesture, causing the little monster to fall to the ground in a mess. He stood up and was about to run, but was immobilized by the curse and could not move.

The man used his sword to push aside his messy hair and said with disdain, "It's so dirty."

Then he looked at the confused villagers and threatened them: "Human traffickers? Where did you kidnap the children from?"

The villagers were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, shouting their injustice.

A girl holding a raccoon cat in her arms ran up to the Taoist master, panting, and shouted, "Qingshun! Speak properly!"

The Taoist was speechless after hearing this. "You can speak, then come."

After saying that, he put away his sword and stood aside, watching the girl leisurely walk towards the immobilized little monster.

The girl seemed a little scared. She carefully used the raccoon's paw to lift the little monster's long hair. After seeing the pale face under the messy black hair, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "What? It looks pretty cute."

The villagers and Daojun resolved their misunderstandings.

The little monster is still a little monster.

The villagers disliked and feared him and did not want to get close to him. Some would hide when they saw him, while the more powerful ones would curse him when they saw him.

Mu Xujing's curiosity about the outside world of the mountain disappeared quickly. On the day he decided to go back to the mountain, it rained heavily, the mountain collapsed, and mud and rock flowed down. The mountain roads were destroyed, and an old man who was walking back at night had his foot crushed by a huge rock.

He heard the cries for help, but he didn't actually know what they meant. To the little monster at this time, the human's shouting was actually a rebuke, meaning to drive him away and tell him to get out.

For the first time, the little monster felt rebellious, and he ran towards the source of the sound with a little anger.

Why are you being so mean to me!

Believe it or not, I will bite you to death!

That's what the little monster thought.

But when he went over, he saw the old man covered in blood and crushed by stones. He looked completely different from those people in the village who were mean to him.

So the little monster was confused.

It seemed as if he had some instinct that made him step forward and push the stone away. People with psychic powers are much more powerful than ordinary people, even a child.

The old man kept saying to him, "Thank you, thank you."

The tone was gentle and full of kindness.

The old man lives alone, at the foot of the mountain, far away from towns and villages.

He adopted the little monster.

The old man taught him to speak, taught him common sense, taught him how to make fire and eat cooked food, took him to wash his body and comb his hair, and bought him clothes, shoes and socks.

The five-year-old little monster gradually turned into a little boy of seven or eight years old.

From then on, Muxujing became a human being.

The old man would take him to the town to go to the market and meet the outside world. At first, Mu Xujing was reluctant to go, but later the old man said, "If I die in the future, you will be alone again, as lonely as before, how sad I would be."

With the old man's companionship and guidance, Mu Xujing gradually stopped feeling that humans were scary.

He seemed to be living a normal life.

Occasionally, villagers would come to him for help with work.

Life in the mountains is quiet, but as the seasons change, different farm work makes life fulfilling.

Mu Xujing likes days like this very much.

The warm twilight fell on the fruit trellis and the small courtyard in front of the house that he and the old man had renovated together. Sweet potatoes were planted in the field under the steps, and purple and white flowers had bloomed. The chinchilla that followed him out of the mountains was rolling on the recliner in the yard, making an old man who was picking vegetables nearby laugh.

Until one night, a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes like the Taoist master in memory descended from the sky on swords.

The sword energy was so powerful that it scared the chinchilla on the recliner so much that it rolled and crawled.

The old man protected the chinchilla and him behind him.

On this day, Mu Jingyi brought him back to Beiting Moon Palace.

The boy refused to leave and was beaten up.

The old man knelt down and begged for mercy. Mu Jingyi walked forward. His boots were shiny and spotless. He stepped in front of the young man and lowered his head to look into his fierce, red eyes.

The man had a stern demeanor and a cold gaze.

Mu Jingyi held the sword across the old man's throat and said to the young man, "You have no choice."

"You are from my Mu family, the young master of Beiting Moon Palace. You have responsibilities that you must fulfill. You shouldn't be living in obscurity in such a shabby place."

Mu Xujing was brought back to the Moon Palace. He was raised in the Mu family for a year before his identity as an illegitimate child was made public. His peaceful daily life was disrupted, and he once again lived amidst the gossip and strange looks of others.

Mu Jingyi told him: "When you are not strong enough, don't allow yourself to have any weaknesses, and it's best not to care about the lives of people other than yourself."

So he learned the Half-Day Tribulation.

If the old man doesn't follow Mu Jingyi's arrangements, he will die.

Along with the peaceful life he had always hoped for.

Mu Jingyi taught him a lot.

Murder is one of them.

"This world is unfair." Mu Jingyi said, "Cultivators and mortals are divided into different levels since birth. In the world of cultivators, the strong are respected, while in the world of mortals, status and position determine whose life is valuable and whose life is worthless."

Under the grand moonlight, he tightly grasped his sword and looked expressionlessly at the man lying in a pool of blood, while the woman next to him fainted from fright.

Mu Jingyi stood in the shadow of the moonlight and said in a calm voice: "Your father is the son of an immortal family and the master of a great immortal sect. He holds a very high status."

"And your mother is a girl from the music school. She is good at dancing and music, and she uses her beauty to please men. She is a low-class person."

"Not every girl in the music school in this world can be as lucky as Nanshan Xuehe, but they all have the same purpose and scheme. Your mother bribed the servants not to drink the medicine, so she got pregnant with you, and used this pregnancy to threaten the Mu family."

"However, the master of this music school hates women like her who act on their own and disregard the rules. The news of the pregnancy was not spread. The master of the music school pretended that your mother would become the head lady of Beiting Moon Palace. After watching her act arrogantly for a while, he told her the truth because the fun was over."

"Your mother's tongue was cut out, her eyes were taken out, her ears were cut off, and her nose was chopped off." Mu Jingyi looked at the fainted woman and said calmly, "The owner of the music school knew that it would be even more troublesome if she really gave birth to a child of the Mu family, but she was really angry about what she did, so she waited for you to be born and asked her to kill you personally to vent her hatred."

"The day you were born, your mother agreed to kill you in order to survive."

"But you are lucky. On that day, the people from Nanshan Xuehe destroyed this Jiaofangsi and left no one alive, but it was inevitable that some fish slipped through the net."

When Mu Xujing heard this, he actually wanted to laugh for a moment.

He didn't care about his parents. It was meaningless to him at that moment. He just felt it was ridiculous to hear someone say that he was lucky for the first time.

What's so lucky about you? You are an inferior person. You are so high and mighty, so why do you have to stoop to sleep with an inferior person? Not all of it is done by myself.

But Mu Xujing has learned not to argue with Mu Jingyi, otherwise he will be the only one who suffers.

He just listened in silence.

"A servant in the music school couldn't bear it, so he took you away in the chaos, but he didn't live long, so we lost the clue to find you." Mu Jingyi continued, "If your father hadn't died, he would have had other heirs born, whose bloodline would be more noble than yours, but everything became complicated because of that bitch."

This was the first time that Mu Xujing heard about Jiang Miao from Mu Jingyi, and it was also the first time that he saw the calm and cold Mu Jingyi hate and detest someone so much.

"She killed your father." Mu Jingyi said.

Maybe he wanted Mu Xujing to hate Jiang Miao as much as he did, but Mu Xujing didn't feel much towards Jiang Miao who had committed such a crime.

Mu Xujing felt that he was already giving face to the father by not applauding Jiang Miao's behavior.

"The Jiang family has such a madman, they all deserve to die. You are from the Mu family, so you are destined to be irreconcilable with the Jiang family." Mu Jingyi looked at the woman on the ground and said, "You must kill the people of the Jiang family to avenge him, not just one, but all of them."

Mu Xujing had no choice.

He killed the woman.

At this time, Mu Xujing did not involve himself in the fight between the Beiting Yuegong family. He just wanted to complete all the requirements given by Mu Jingyi as soon as possible so that he could go back to take care of the old man and his chinchilla.

If he doesn't obey, he will be the one who suffers.

Mu Jingyi didn't see him as a human being, just a tool.

A tool with impure blood that was picked up out of necessity and that still needs time to be polished.

Mu Xujing also regards himself as a tool. He only needs to listen to Mu Jingyi's words and do what he is told.

Any demons or grudges have nothing to do with him.
