Although her body was stronger than that of an ordinary person due to her cultivation, having a child was still a major event, and for Feng Guang, it was also a major event that would deplete her vital energy. However, the tight schedule did not allow her to rest much, and a series of footsteps broke the brief warmth of the family of three in the bamboo house.
Fang Yue stood up from the bedside and drew the Cold Abyss Sword. Feng Guang grabbed his hand and said, "You're still injured."
"It's alright, I'll protect you..." Fang Yue saw the exhaustion she looked from childbirth, and then glanced at the child in her arms, finally adding, "And... our Xiaoxiao."
Since the person who came was able to bypass the barrier array he set up, he must be someone who frequently goes up Haomiao Peak. Fang Yue didn't think of anyone else but Mu Ning.
As the bamboo door was pushed open, Fang Yue, who was carrying a sword, did indeed see Mu Ning.
Mu Ning was taken aback when she saw her senior brother facing her with a sword drawn. She was also taken aback when she saw the girl, who was about her age, sitting on the bed holding a baby. After a long while, she finally spoke in a daze, "Senior brother, I came here with no ill intentions. I just... I was just wondering if you would be here. I came to help you."
Fang Yue was not easily convinced. "Help us? None of the junior brothers in the entire Xuanmen have ever remembered our past camaraderie. They listened to Yi Mu's words and wanted to kill me. Junior sister, how can I trust you?"
Finally, she's not a naive and innocent girl anymore...
Feng Guang hugged Xiao Xiao and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Ning hurriedly explained, "Those senior brothers all want to kill the eldest senior brother because Master said that whoever can kill the eldest senior brother can become the next sect leader. Eldest senior brother, you know that Mu Ning has never been interested in the position of sect leader. She just wants to live a comfortable life every day. Besides, you have taught me a lot. In Mu Ning's heart, you are no different from an elder. The reason I guessed that you were on Haomiao Peak was because you once taught me that if you encounter danger, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Fang Yue's expression did not soften.
Mu Ning continued, "Senior Brother, if Master and the other senior brothers can't find you, they will definitely come to Haomiao Peak. Although you and... your sister-in-law are both very powerful, one of you is injured and the other has just given birth and is carrying a fragile baby. How can you break through the encirclement and get out?"
What Mu Ning said makes no sense.
Feng Guang looked up and asked, "Do you have a way to help us leave?"
When Mu Ning heard Feng Guang ask her a question, she quickly replied, "Senior Brother knows that I always like to sneak down the mountain to play. Since three years ago, I have used an illusion technique to secretly leave a secret passage for myself. It is near Haomiao Peak. No one else knows about it except myself. I can lead you down the mountain through the secret passage."
Feng Guang threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed, but Fang Yue quickly put away his Cold Abyss Sword and helped her up, saying, "You can't move around like that yet."
"It's alright, I've rested enough." She gave a pale smile. In this condition, how could she possibly stay in bed like this?
After thinking for a while, Feng Guang put the child in Fang Yue's arms. He immediately stiffened. She acted as if she hadn't seen it. After all, Xiao Xiao was his daughter. How could she always be the one holding her?
Feng Guang walked up to Mu Ning, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why are you helping us?"
"It's not you guys, I'm here to help my senior brother." Mu Ning also revealed a charming expression, meaning that the glory was just a bonus. "Besides, in the entire Xuanmen, when we were at Mingyin Temple, I was the only one who didn't want to fight with my senior brother. If I wanted to kill my senior brother, I could have just notified the others. Why would I have come to you guys by myself?"
