These five years flowed by, bringing changes to everyone. Wanyan Qianhua, who had been missing for five years, had recently become famous in the world after she alone destroyed a stronghold of devilry cultivators and killed thousands of devilry cultivators.
Her strength had grown significantly over the last five years. She was still dressed in red which was just as bright as the sun, and she had the same indolent and alluring beauty. However, now she was also known as a cold-blooded and ruthless iceberg beauty.
When Jun Jueshang of the Insouciant Sect heard about her, it was particularly about how she killed thousands of devilry cultivators. The day he heard the news, Jun Jueshang spent all day in the bamboo forest practising with his sword.
In the Pill King Valley, Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood with his hands clasped behind his back and looked at the small figure practising swords on the grass in front of him. His deep black pupils were filled with praise and doting when they fell on the figure.
Hao'er, who was already six years old, was a skilled swordsman. His exquisite little face had already exuded maturity and sophistication that set him apart from other children. He was practising his sword with his lips pursed and his face straight. His expression was frosty, similar to that of Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
It wasn't their faces that were similar, but their expressions.
After practising a set of swordsmanship, he put the sword behind his back, walked towards Xuanyuan Mo Ze, bowed respectfully, and called out, "Father."
Even though he kept a straight face and tried hard to look mature, the way his eyes sparkled amused people. Even though he was a child, he had to act like an adult in front of his father.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze observed the eager child seeking his approval and nodded approvingly. "Well done, you've made progress since yesterday."
After receiving this recognition, the child's stern expression transformed into a wide grin, and his face lit up with joy. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and embraced his father's leg, exclaiming happily, "Father, Hao'er will strive even harder. I will diligently practice and grow stronger to protect you and Mother in the future."
Xuanyuan Mo Ze's lips curled slightly at these words, revealing a faint smile, but his tone remained cool. "You need to stand tall as you grow older. You are a boy and should avoid acting overly affectionate like a girl. It's important to learn the value of responsibility."
Hao'er quickly let go and withdrew his hand, looking up at him. "Yes, Hao'er understands. Hao'er dares not forget Father's teachings."
"With the sword practice concluded for today, now focus on studying medicinal pills. Study diligently and thoroughly, and I will check on your progress later," Xuanyuan Mo Ze spoke, his gaze fixed on Hao'er.
"Yes."
Hao'er responded, ready to trot away. However, remembering his father's instructions, he immediately saluted before retreating. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Pill King approaching in his pristine white robes. Hao'er eagerly exclaimed, "Grandfather!"
"Haha, Hao'er is going to study medicinal pills? Go ahead! Study well." Pill King laughed. After Hao'er drew closer, Pill King gently patted his head and told him to go on his way.
"Mm, goodbye, Grandfather," Hao'er replied, saluted him, and then left.
"Why are you here, Pill King?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked the elderly man.
"I have nothing else to do, so I'm taking a walk." Pill King said, shaking his head as he looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze. "You, sigh, don't be too strict. The child is afraid of you."
