This left Mo Bai somewhat disappointed, as she wanted to show more of herself.
The mother and daughter went into the kitchen, and Fu Ya began to question her about her relationship with Mo Bai.
Rong Jiaojiao shrugged: "I can't say for sure. Maybe he wanted to pursue me, but I'm not sure. He didn't confess his feelings."
Fu Ya glanced at you: "So what are you thinking?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "We all have our own responsibilities, and I'm not thinking about these things right now."
Mo Bai was talking to Rong Lianhu by the main room, while listening intently to the mother and daughter's conversation, clearly taking in their dialogue.
He showed no sign of disappointment, and felt it wasn't the right time to confess. He would only speak after they had settled the Demon-Suppressing Stele and things were stable.
The mother and daughter talked and cooked, and an hour later, the food was on the table.
Rong Jiaojiao took out the spirit fruit wine and poured a glass for each of the four of them, and the meal was very warm and cozy.
After leaving the table, Rong Lianhu asked Rong Jiaojiao, "How long will you be staying this time?"
Rong Jiaojiao said apologetically, "Mom and Dad, I probably won't be able to stay for more than a few days. Mo Bai and I have a mission, and we'll have to go back once the Xuanxiu Alliance informs us."
She had a feeling that this departure might be one she would never return to, which is why she insisted on coming back to see her parents before leaving.
Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya sighed. It was a good thing that their daughter was successful, but the fact that they could not see her for several years at a time was a regret in their hearts.
"Mom and Dad, I brought you some things." Rong Jiaojiao took out several jade boxes from her storage bag. "These are longevity pills; take one pill every month..."
"These are clothes for you, and jade carvings for the children to play with..."
“These were all prepared by my master while I was in seclusion. You can eat what you need and use what you need.”
"If anything happens, you can send a letter to Kyoto Gensei-sai, and they will deliver it to me. If there is any emergency, you can also ask them for help, and I will repay the favor."
As Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya listened to her rambling instructions, they felt increasingly uneasy. Rong Lianhu interrupted, "Jiaojiao, are you not going to be able to come back for many years?"
Fu Ya's tears were already flowing. Why was her daughter so unlucky? She had never had a peaceful time since she was born.
Rong Jiaojiao didn't want to hide it from them, so she took Fu Ya's hand and said, "Mom, you know my intuition is very accurate. I feel that this mission will take a long time, but there won't be any danger. You can trust me."
Fu Ya held her daughter's hand tightly, sobbing uncontrollably: "Jiaojiao, Mom believes in you, but I haven't seen you for so long, Mom... Mom is heartbroken."
Rong Lianhu's eyes also reddened slightly, but he still held back his emotions, patted his wife's back, and comforted her, "Wife, Jiaojiao has her own mission, we can't hold her back."
After saying that, he looked at Rong Jiaojiao, his eyes filled with reluctance but also with encouragement: "Jiaojiao, don't worry about what you're doing. Your mother and I are here at home, and we'll take good care of ourselves. Just come back safely."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes: "Dad, Mom, I will definitely come back safely."
Mo Bai watched this scene from the side, and couldn't help but be moved.
He stepped forward and said earnestly, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I will take care of Jiaojiao. As long as I'm here, I will make sure she is safe and sound."
Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya looked at Mo Bai and saw sincerity in his firm eyes.
Rong Lianhu nodded: "Okay, Xiao Mo, I'll leave Jiaojiao in your care."
Since they were unsure when Rong Jiaojiao would leave, Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya simply did not inform their two sons.
Over the next few days, Rong Jiaojiao spent time with her parents, listening to them talk about the changes in the military over the years, and sitting together in the courtyard chatting about everyday life.
Mo Bai also joined in, playing chess with Rong Lianhu and occasionally helping Fu Ya with cooking and other chores, which made Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya increasingly satisfied with him.
However, happy times are always short-lived.
That evening, after dinner, Rong Jiaojiao and the other three were chatting in the courtyard when suddenly, the communication jade slips of Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai flashed one after the other.
Rong Jiaojiao's heart tightened, knowing that it was probably a notification from the Xuanxiu Alliance.
Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai exchanged a glance, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Rong Jiaojiao slowly picked up the jade slip to examine it. Sure enough, it was an urgent order from the Xuanxiu Alliance urging them to return as soon as possible to prepare for the placement of the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
She looked up at her worried parents, her eyes slightly red: "Dad, Mom, the notice has arrived, we have to go back immediately."
Fu Ya's tears flowed again instantly. She stepped forward and held her daughter's hand tightly: "Jiaojiao, is it in such a hurry? Can't you even stay one more night?"
Although Rong Lianhu was reluctant, he took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Children, you have a mission to fulfill, so go quickly. Remember, you must stay safe."
Mo Bai also said to the two elders with a solemn expression, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I will do my best to protect Jiaojiao."
Rong Jiaojiao held back her tears, turned around and went back into the house to quickly pack her bags, then came to her parents. She took out some precious spiritual items from her storage bag and handed them to her parents: "Mom and Dad, keep these safe, they might come in handy at a critical moment."
Fu Ya took it with trembling hands, sobbing uncontrollably: "Jiaojiao, you must be careful out there..."
Rong Lianhu patted his daughter's shoulder, his voice choked with emotion: "Go, child, we'll wait for you to come back."
Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai bowed deeply to the two elders, then flew up on their swords and disappeared into the night.
The wind howled in her ears as she traveled, but Rong Jiaojiao's mood grew heavier and heavier.
Mo Bai tried to comfort her: "Jiaojiao, don't be too sad. We'll come back after we finish the mission."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded gently: "Yes, but every time I leave, I feel like I owe my parents too much."
Mo Bai looked at her, his eyes gentle yet firm: "Once everything is over, we'll spend more time with them."
When they rushed back to the Xuanxiu Alliance, it was still dark, but the council hall was brightly lit, and Han Yunshen and a group of Xuanxiu experts had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Xiaoman, Qi Lan, and Jun Yuangui were also present, along with dozens of senior Celestial Masters.
Han Yunshen said, "I don't know if it's because the destruction of several of the demon's fragments caused the demon's main soul to feel the danger, or if it's for some other reason, but now, only ten years later, the demon's main soul has awakened again and is currently attacking the demon-sealing formation."
Han Yunshen's expression was solemn. He glanced at everyone and continued, "Although the Demon Sealing Formation is sturdy, the Nine Dragon Veins only consumed energy once ten years ago. After being subjected to this impact for a long time, the energy loss is too great, and I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it."
"Now that all forces have received the news, they are rushing to the Nine Dragons Sealing Demon Formation on Immortal Mountain."
