She wanted to walk alongside Su Qiluo, not just hold him back.
"Don't worry, cultivating mental strength won't trigger fire, and since you're going to military academy first, your mental strength can't be too weak." Su Qiluo roughly guessed her thoughts and gently comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun was taken aback.
"Okay," she agreed.
"Do you want to continue searching for raw stones, or do you want to rest some more?" Su Qiluo glanced at Diewu out of the corner of his eye, adding "her" to his question.
He favored Mu Qingyun, but not to the point of being completely rude and treating her like she was invisible.
“Look, Brother Mu, if Brother Mu says we’re leaving, we’re leaving.” Diewu was also sensible, and with one sentence she gave the initiative to Mu Qingyun.
"How do we find it in this situation?" Mu Qingyun smiled bitterly, turned to look at the gray mist beside her, and suddenly realized something, "Wait, why can I see you so clearly?"
Even when she and Diewu were close together before, she couldn't see Diewu's face at all.
Now she could clearly see Su Qiluo and Diewu's faces, but the surroundings were still shrouded in a gray haze.
"I have light powers, and this mere gray mist is utterly useless against my light." Su Qiluo couldn't help but feel smug when he saw Mu Qingyun's bewildered expression.
"That can't be right. The military academy shouldn't allow the gray fog to be dispelled by light-based abilities." She remembered that she had talked about this with Butterfly Dance before.
The fog in the second stage of the military academy cannot be dispelled by light abilities. Butterfly Dance had watched the live stream before and even paid special attention to the live streams of the light ability contestants, and their live streams were still shrouded in gray.
"Don't compare other people to your partner. Can they even compare to your partner?" Su Qiluo smiled and reached out to pat her head.
Her neat short hair felt really comfortable to the touch when I ran my hand through it.
"Wait, what about our live stream room!"
"Don't worry, I had the doctor hack our livestreams. People outside can't see what we're doing right now," Su Qiluo replied with a light laugh. "So, do you want to keep going, or rest?"
"Let's rest." Mu Qingyun thought for a moment and decided that traveling at night would be safer.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Su Qiluo sat down cross-legged, raised his hands, and gestured to her, "Come, let's cultivate."
Mu Qingyun nodded in agreement and immediately followed his posture, raising her hand to meet his.
He closed his eyes, immersed himself in his consciousness, focused his attention, cleared his mind, and began to cultivate, following the guidance of Su Qiluo's spiritual power.
Watching the two cultivating hand in hand, Diewu smiled with satisfaction.
These two are really interesting; one pretends to be weak, and the other pretends to be a man. They're actually quite a good match.
Moreover, Brother Mu's fire ability is exceptionally strong, which is a good match for General Su. The two will definitely become a tacit couple who fight side by side in the future.
Yes, she likes it.
She likes two strong people together. She had heard rumors that the princess admired General Su the most, and that General Su also had feelings for her.
Although she liked the two of them quite a bit, she felt they weren't a good match.
Princess looks like she's been pampered since childhood. If she were with General Su, it would be a classic case of a domineering general falling in love with me, the perfect type of doting wife.
No, no, she wants two strong men, not a delicate wife.
While transmitting his mental energy to Mu Qingyun, Su Qiluo also devoted a portion of his energy to investigating the situation outside.
Waves of spiritual energy constantly roamed through the vast blue space within his sea of consciousness.
As Mu Qingyun looked around, a vortex-shaped hole suddenly appeared in the blue space.
What's going on? Should we go in?
She frowned as she stared at the hole in front of her, but the knowledge about mental power that suddenly came to mind couldn't explain this strange situation.
Hesitantly, I didn't go in, but the cave suddenly stopped rotating, and a scene appeared in the middle. The scene was a white blur, as if it were covered by something.
The image flickered a few times, then suddenly became clear.
Inside, there was a man walking around; he was the younger brother, dressed in imperial attire. He was pacing back and forth anxiously, as if troubled by something.
Beside the camera, the mother and a woman were arguing about something. The next moment, the woman slapped the mother across the face!
"Mother!"
She shouted uncontrollably and quickly ran to her mother's side.
She stepped through the hole and onto the ground. Turning her head, she saw the woman, her mother, and her younger brother all looking at her in surprise.
"Sister?"
My younger brother already has the countenance of an emperor; he's no longer the person who used to hide behind me.
"Little brother." Mu Qingyun looked at her younger brother, who now had a dignified air about him, and stepped forward, intending to pat him on the shoulder as she used to.
But as soon as she reached out her hand, her younger brother instinctively turned to the side and dodged her outstretched hand.
"Yoona!"
Her mother called out to her with tears streaming down her face. As soon as she turned around, she saw the swollen five-finger mark on her mother's face.
"Smack."
"ah--"
With swift and decisive action, she slapped the woman across the face without hesitation, leaving a mark even more swollen than her mother's.
"Zitong!"
The younger brother shouted angrily, rushed over, shoved her aside, and quickly hugged the elegant woman, asking, "Are you alright?"
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. How come you have an elder sister? Why do you call her elder sister? She looks like a man!" The woman frowned, but ultimately suppressed her anger.
With the Emperor by her side, it's not advisable for her to act rashly now.
Hmph, if the Emperor weren't here, she wouldn't let either of those two damned bitches get away with it!
“Brother, she hit Mother, and you just sit by and do nothing?” Mu Qingyun stared coldly at her brother. She suddenly felt that the person in the dragon robe in front of her was a complete stranger.
In the past, my younger brother was even more protective of our mother than I was. Why, why can he now just stand by and watch our mother being beaten without doing anything?
“Sister,” the younger brother looked up at her, hesitated for a moment, then turned to pat the woman’s head, “Zitong, you go out first.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave." The woman bowed and gave Mu Qingyun a glare before leaving.
"Sister, hit me then."
After dismissing his attendants, the younger brother lowered his eyes. In the past, when he made a mistake, he would kneel down and ask his elder sister for punishment, but now that he was wearing the dragon robe, he could no longer kneel.
“I have no choice. The strategist is gone, and you are gone too. The border is constantly harassing us. Zitong is the only daughter of the Khan of the border, Kehan. I cannot hurt her for my mother’s sake. I need her Khan to help me.”
Kohan?
"How could you marry into the Kohan family?" Mu Qingyun was furious when she heard this. The more she looked at her brother, the angrier she became. She wished she could go up and slap him a few times.
