"Pingyang, what did you say?" Consort Rou asked in horror.
“The spiritual root in his body has not yet fully integrated with him. If he stops cultivating, it may cause a backlash from the spiritual root, which could kill him.”
"I told you not to let your brother cultivate. If he doesn't have the talent, fine, but you insisted on making him suffer like this." Consort Rou's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.
Pingyang remained silent, her gaze shifting to the Seventh Prince. "And you? Do you think so too?"
The seventh prince instinctively avoided her gaze. "No, no, I don't regret it. This is my chance to impress my father."
"It's good that you know. Cultivation knows no time. After I go to the Zhen Continent, it will be difficult to take care of you and Mother. Cultivate diligently. I don't expect you to reach a high realm. As long as you have the ability to protect yourself, Mother can enjoy honor with you." Pingyang sighed, and a trace of affection and tenderness finally appeared in her cold eyes.
Consort Rou gradually calmed down and realized that her daughter, who had always been very opinionated, was doing it for their own good.
Mu Run could understand Pingyang's desire to protect her family, but digging up someone else's spiritual root was wrong. There were many ways to enhance her brother's strength; why choose this heinous method that wouldn't benefit her cultivation and would inevitably subject her to karmic trials in the future?
"Sister, the general election is coming up soon. Can I participate in the test in my current state?" the Seventh Prince asked Pingyang.
"If you were more diligent in your cultivation, this spiritual root would have already become one with you. As it is now, you naturally cannot participate in the test."
"Then what should we do?"
"Even if you have fused your spiritual roots, it will still be obvious. And those sects are very wary of possessing other people's spiritual roots. For now, just stay in the palace, close your doors to guests, and focus on your cultivation. I'll take care of everything."
"Where?" Suddenly, Fu Lu's voice rang in Mu Run's ears.
Mu Run quickly withdrew her spiritual power, opened her eyes, and looked at Fu Lu returning. "So fast?"
“There are other people here,” Fu Lu said calmly, his expression somewhat displeased.
Mu Run looked at him and laughed, "Could it be Emperor Wende?"
Fu Lu glanced at her, but didn't answer. He raised his hand and knocked on the carriage door, indicating that the carriage could leave.
Upon seeing this, Mu Run hurriedly said, "Wait, I've found the spiritual root."
“I know.” Fu Lu didn’t stop the carriage. “Now is not the time.”
“The spiritual root has not yet merged with him, so it is easy to extract.”
"Hmm? It's been so long since they've fused?" In Fu Lu's opinion, they should have been fused by now in about three days.
"That child looks like he's in a lot of pain. The fusion isn't going smoothly. Maybe Su Xiao's spiritual root isn't compatible with his."
"That's possible, after all, you're not from the same mother. Tonight, I'll help you retrieve your spiritual root."
"I'll go with you."
"..."
Seeing his disapproving expression, Mu Run knew exactly what was going on, and curled her lip, "Who do you think you are?"
“The palace was heavily guarded at night, and there was a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage.”
"Uh, what is your cultivation level?"
"Golden Elixir".
"Oh." Mu Run suddenly remembered Yun Chen, who is now the head of the Qingquan Sect. He wondered what level he had reached.
Fu Lu seemed to see through her thoughts. "The sect leader of Qingquan Sect is a cultivator with five elemental roots, so his cultivation is extremely fast. I heard that he can ascend to the upper realm at any time. He is currently suppressing his cultivation level, waiting for his wife."
"Really?" Mu Run lifted the curtain of the car window to look outside, feeling confused and uneasy.
If the two of them are a loving couple, a match made in heaven, what is she to them, and why should she interfere?
"What's wrong?" Fu Lu noticed her strange expression.
Mu Run thought for a moment and said to him, "What should I do if he really forgets me and forms a happy family with someone else?"
If Fu Yunchen were to be reincarnated as Yun Chen and forget her, it might not be such a bad thing. Since meeting her, Fu Yunchen's journey has been filled with more misfortunes than good ones. She always felt lucky, but while she was lucky, wasn't she also someone else's misfortune?
Fu Lu's thin lips curled slightly, "Then let's make do. Anyway, we've already formally married."
