Chapter 81
"Click." The black piece fell, and the outcome of the game was decided.
But the handsome young man with sharp eyebrows did not look at the person opposite him, but turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes gradually darkening.
The young man in Taoist robes opposite him reacted much more violently than him. He stood up suddenly, not caring that he had lost another game, and raised his hand to summon his spiritual weapon and rushed forward.
"Ming Ruo." The sharp young man stood up and stopped Ming Ruo Daojun: "Don't panic."
"Feng Xun, the sword talisman I placed on my young disciple has lost contact with me." Ming Ruo Daojun's usually smiling face turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "It's in Shuixi Town at the foot of the mountain. If we rush there now, we might find some clues."
"I know." Taoist Feng Xun sighed, "Mingruo, since the sword talisman can trap you, I'm afraid you won't find any trace of it even if you go there..."
"Xu Fengxun." Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Mingruo looked towards Daoist Master Fengxun, his expression slightly cold. "You knew this a long time ago?"
"Yes, my little apprentice and your apprentice get along well. I think they will go to Shuixi Town together today..." he muttered to himself.
"So, your disciple has also lost contact with you?" Daoist Master Mingruo stared directly at Daoist Master Fengxun, his eyes sharp. "...Or have you known about what happened today?"
Taoist Feng Xun was silent for a moment, then said, "The spiritual weapon I placed on Xiao Shuang just lost contact with me."
"What about this matter? You knew about it a long time ago, right?" Mingruo Daojun asked coldly.
"I have a slight guess." Taoist Feng Xun whispered, "Mingruo, I actually..."
"I don't know what you're planning or what you're trying to prove." Ming Ruo Daojun interrupted coldly, "I can't make the decision about your disciple, nor do I have any interest in interfering. But, Xu Fengxun, don't set your sights on my disciple."
"Ming Ruo..."
Taoist Master Mingruo summoned his natal spiritual weapon, and without even glancing at Taoist Master Fengxun who wanted to explain something, he transformed into a spiritual light and headed straight for Shuixi Town at the foot of the mountain.
Taoist Feng Xun stood beside the stone table, staring at the direction where Taoist Ming Ruo disappeared, and then he sighed.
The next moment, a ray of light caught up with the light in front of it without any lingering feelings, and the chess game on the empty stone table remained silent.
By the time Daojun Mingruo and Daojun Fengxun arrived at the Duobao Pavilion in Shuixi Town, one after the other, the bustling crowd had been separated by an invisible spiritual barrier, and the bluestone road was empty and silent. Thus, the three figures standing in the middle of it all became even more eye-catching.
The young man in white robe had a handsome face and clear eyes with a hint of timidity, but there was an indescribable coldness in his gaze as he looked at the bluestone road.
The young swordsman with his hair tied up high in a crown seemed to have eyes and brows filled with the unmelted ice and snow on the high mountains. His phoenix eyes were cold and gloomy, like a cold blade that had accidentally lost its scabbard, clear and cold.
The only female cultivator had hair like clouds, a delicate face, and a natural, effortless agility in her every move. Her brown eyes gazed into the distance, a silent hint of danger emanating from them.
"Ming Yan." As a fellow Qing Miao Sect member, Ming Ruo Daojun had naturally interacted with the other two parents before, but they were not familiar with each other. So he took the lead in asking his young disciple's elder brother, "Did you find anything?"
"No." The young swordsman's eyes were gloomy. "No trace at all."
Realizing that the spiritual consciousness remaining in Sui Sui was suddenly disconnected, Jiang Mingyan immediately got up from the mat and rushed to Shuixi Town without hesitation.
Jiang Mingyan was the first person to arrive at Shuixi Town.
He used his spiritual power to silently isolate the area where Sui Sui and the others disappeared without alerting the surrounding mortals, and then carefully searched almost every corner, but found nothing.
When Yu Zhang and Xuan Ning Daojun arrived, they didn't waste any time and investigated carefully again, but still found nothing.
Now seeing Lord Mingruo, Jiang Mingyan felt a little hope in his heart.
Ming Ruo Daojun frowned, and his spiritual power extended out, sweeping across this not-so-large area one by one, then he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Mingyan understood instantly, and worry flashed across his eyes uncontrollably.
Even the Dongxu cultivators couldn't find any trace of it...
"Xu Fengxun, what exactly did you discover back then?" Daoist Master Mingruo turned sideways and looked at Daoist Master Fengxun, his expression serious: "Don't hide it from me, I only have Sui Sui as my disciple."
Taoist Feng Xun sighed: "Mingruo, I am a sword cultivator."
"Even though I've always been interested in the Tianyu Sect's methods, I'm still a sword cultivator, not a magic cultivator."
"Besides, even if someone from Tianyu Sect came, it would be impossible for them to find out everything. I just know that this incident will happen, and the final result will be good." Feng Xun Daojun whispered, "Xiao Shuang is my disciple, and he is my only disciple. How could I harm him?"
"Eaglets will eventually soar, and we can't have everything under control." Taoist Feng Xun comforted.
"Then you could have told us." Ming Ruo Daojun pursed his lips. "How can we just sit back and do nothing? We should know how dangerous this process is, right? They are still children."
Taoist Feng Xun was helpless and looked at the other three people.
Then, he was shocked to find that the young swordsman with the sharpest and most resolute aura among the three, who he thought was the least likely to agree with Ming Ruo Daojun's words, also frowned, and the look in his phoenix eyes clearly showed that he agreed with Ming Ruo Daojun's idea.
On the contrary, Xuan Ning Daojun and Yu Zhang's expressions relaxed.
Taoist Feng Xun was speechless.
"I'm still worried..." Ming Ruo Daojun whispered, "Sui Sui is still so young..."
"I'll think of another way. At least I need to know where they are now." He made a decision and looked at Jiang Mingyan.
The two of them obviously hit it off, and after bidding farewell to the other three, they immediately transformed into spiritual light and left.
The other three parents looked at each other.
"...Shall we look for it too?" Xuan Ning Daojun hesitated.
“…”
"...Alright."

Before Suisui fell into darkness, he seemed to "see" the small round tree in his dantian, which had been quietly stretching its branches and emitting a bright green light.
But before Sui Sui could figure out whether this was an illusion or not, the next moment, Sui Sui was greeted by a familiar dark space that he had not seen for a long time.
"Xuanchen!" The little fellow was not at all flustered. He called out in a familiar voice, "Light it up! Suisui is coming!"
"Little troublemaker." Xuan Chen muttered, seemingly disgusted, but with a hint of indulgence in his tone: "I know, I noticed it as soon as you came in."
"Every time you come, you make a big show." Xuanchen criticized the boy's bad behavior, but the small world in the center honestly lit up.
"Thank you, Xuanchen~" Sui Sui thanked sweetly, flapping her limbs and rushing in to hug the green velvet tree.
"Do you really have to paddle like a puppy?" Xuan Chen said disdainfully, "Is it so difficult to stand up and walk over there?"
"Yes!" the little guy said confidently: "There's nothing under my feet, I'm scared!"
"Cowardly." Xuan Chen commented, "It's just that your brother dotes on you too much. He just wants to send you somewhere to experience some life."
Thinking of Yu Hongze's frequent early punishments by Mingyan Daojun, Sui Sui puffed out his cheeks in anger: "Why are you all so obsessed with these things? My brother is such a good person, he wouldn't do this."
Xuanchen remained silent.
He didn't respond, but Sui Sui, who wasn't one to remain silent, mumbled about what had happened to him today, and concluded solemnly, "The man who separated Sui Sui from her brother was so mean! When my brother finds him, I'm going to let him give him a good beating!"
"It's a bit difficult for now." Xuan Chen was not optimistic about Sui Sui's idea: "Didn't you take that Ming Ruo Daojun as your master? I think he would have prepared spiritual tools and other protective equipment for you a long time ago, but you and your friends who also had spiritual tools were all wiped out in one fell swoop?"
"The person behind the scenes is no less powerful than your master."
"When will brother be able to find Sui Sui?" The little guy thought for a while and asked slowly.
"Aren't you afraid?" Xuan Chen was curious.
"What are you afraid of?" Sui Sui raised her chin and said proudly in her baby voice, "I'm not afraid as long as my brother is here."
"It's just that I can't find Sui Sui for the time being. Brother is so smart, he will be able to find a solution soon."
Looking at the child's determined expression, Xuan Chen chuckled, "Alright, whatever you say is what it is. Your brother won't abandon you anyway."
"That's right." The little fellow wrinkled his nose like a delicate kitten, his delicate eyes overflowing with trust and reserve - that was the confidence and reserve that could only be pampered by being cared for with love and tenderness, being chosen without a doubt, and having spent a long time and carefully nurturing: "Brother loves Sui Sui the most~"
"Yes, yes, your brother is the best." Xuanchen felt a familiar tiredness in his heart.
So he urged the cub: "Go and dig your tree hole quickly."
Sui Sui didn't know where Xuan Chen was hiding. She pouted and tilted her head towards the tree in her arms: "Then Sui Sui will leave~"
Suisui didn't remember what would happen afterwards, but he knew that he had to go through this every time before he could return to reality.
But every time Suisui reached for the tree, she felt a surge of resistance. It wasn't the fear of bumping into someone's head, but... a more complex emotion.
However, when Sui Sui moved from the space with bright center and dark surroundings to the huge light curtain, everything that had happened in this place flooded into his mind, and Sui Sui understood the reason for the complicated emotions.
Over the past five years, Sui Sui has continued to watch what his 'brother' experienced intermittently through the light screen.
Since the last time Sui Sui fell into the Spiritual Sea five years ago, the brother in the light curtain has rarely been injured or bled.
Even if there are some twists and turns, things will always be resolved perfectly.
My brother is becoming stronger and stronger, and he has more and more supporters around him.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
But Suisui was a little scared.
Sui Sui was afraid of her brother's cold eyes and icy expression behind the curtain.
My brother is not happy.
So, Suisui also became sad - even though Suisui knew that her brother in real life was not like that.
However, Suisui always wants his brother to be happy.
——A brother from anywhere.
After watching his brother in the light curtain successfully defeat his opponent and obtain the brightly colored spiritual plant, the light curtain gradually dimmed, and Sui Sui, as expected, felt the familiar force that would send him away.
Suisui took one last look at his brother's fading figure and closed his eyes.
After a long time, my body felt heavy, but it was a little different from when I woke up normally.
The little guy opened his round black eyes in confusion, and then met a pair of familiar phoenix eyes.
"Brother?" Sui Sui was even more confused.
Sui Sui knows that his brother is very powerful, but is his brother so powerful that Sui Sui can find him back just by sleeping for a while?
"What are you daydreaming about?" The elder brother chuckled and came over to rub Sui Sui's round head. "Dad bought you some Yunhai cakes, why don't you go and try them?"
Sui Sui was stunned.
He took a step to the side and looked behind his brother.
The tall and lush peach trees dance lightly in the wind, and the flowers and leaves sway, shining brightly in the spring.
The cold woman with eyes like autumn water and hair like clouds and the tall and handsome young man in sword robe stood side by side under the tree, looking at him gently.
"...Father, Mother?"
