Chapter 695: Mother Yu's Request
Xingluo Kingdom, the Yu family mansion.
Yu Muhan hurriedly returned home and went straight to her mother's room.
A few soft coughs could be faintly heard from inside the room. Yu Muhan's heart leaped into her throat, and she pushed open the door and rushed in: "Mother!"
Lying in bed, Yu's mother raised her eyelids slightly. When she saw her daughter return, she was first taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Mu Han? You... why are you back?"
Yu Muhan knelt by the bed, looking at his mother with a worried expression: "Uncle Mo secretly wrote a letter to tell me, Mother, how did you get sick?!"
Uncle Mo was the old housekeeper of the Yu family. Yu's mother coughed and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Mo is really... I'm fine, I just caught a slight cold, don't worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu's mother coughed violently again. She covered her mouth with a white handkerchief, and Yu Muhan could easily see a glaring red seeping out from it!
Yu Muhan's face turned pale: "Is this a cold?! Mother! You're coughing up blood!"
"Cough cough... Mother is alright, really alright..."
Yu's mother clutched the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand, leaned against the soft pillow, and looked at him with eyes full of love.
Yu Muhan clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down immediately: "...Mother, when did you start coughing?"
Yu's mother slowly recalled: "It should have been three days ago."
"Where did you go and what did you do before you coughed?" Yu Muhan pressed on.
"No, Mother has always been at home, where else could she have gone?"
Yu's mother smiled weakly. Suddenly, she remembered something and took her daughter's hand: "Muhan, I have something to tell you."
"Mother, please speak, Muhan is listening."
"Mother heard that many healing-type spirit masters with light-elemental spiritual energy went to a very sacred place for further study." Mother Yu lovingly stroked Yu Muhan's hair, her eyes gentle. "That place—is it called the Holy Church?"
Yu Muhan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "It's called the Holy Sect. Mother, why are you suddenly bringing this up with me?"
"Everything within the Holy Sect is sacred and radiant, and it also possesses many treasures and secret manuals, which are very suitable for cultivation." Mother Yu paused, then continued, "Being able to enter the Holy Sect is something that countless cultivators dream of... Mu Han, I hope you can go to the Holy Sect."
Yu Muhan pursed her lips. Suddenly realizing something, she raised her eyes and asked, "Mother, tell me, have any members of the Holy Order come to our house?"
"Cough cough..." Mother Yu coughed softly, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and replied, "Yes, on the day you left home last time, cultivators from the Holy Order came to our house. The Holy Order said they were impressed by your cultivation level and talent, and very much wanted you to join the Holy Order—"
"The Holy Order also assured your father that as long as you join the Holy Order, you will be appointed as a saintess, which is a supreme position."
Mother Yu's cloudy eyes were filled with longing: "Mu Han, our Yu family has been in decline for so long and has never been able to give you anything. We, as your parents, are ashamed. You are very promising and have made a name for yourself in the cultivation world. Your father and I both believe that you will be able to restore the glory of the Yu family."
As she spoke, Yu's mother shifted her gaze to Yu Muhan and murmured softly, "Muhan, your father and I are getting old. Before we leave this world, we want to see you become the most glorious member of the Holy Church... Can you grant us our request?"
