Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Moxuzi's expression showed no change this time, he simply nodded in agreement.

Hou Yuxiao finally put his mind at ease and bowed with a clasped fist, saying, "I thank you greatly, Daoist. Should there be any critical news regarding the Blood Demon, I will definitely report it promptly. Now that the day grows late, I must take my leave!"

Finally, he gave Moxuzi a respectful bow, exchanged a glance with Zhao Qingxue beside him, and then Hou Yuxiao turned and disappeared into the night.

Once Hou Yuxiao left, only the master and disciple remained under the large tree.

Moxuzi watched him depart, his expression fluctuating, and after a good ten breaths, he shook his head and sighed, "Dynasties change and talents emerge. Who would have thought that such a remarkable talent would come out of the poor and remote mountains of Yongzhou, tsk... tsk..."

Listening to Moxuzi's praise of Hou Yuxiao, Zhao Qingxue felt as if she was being praised herself, and a smile appeared on her face, her eyebrows curving into crescents.

Moxuzi slightly turned his head and caught the smile on Zhao Qingxue's face. He shook his head again, recalling that Hou Yuxiao was Zhao Qingxue's emotional trial, which made him feel a bit worried.

Dealing with someone as cunning as Hou Yuxiao, his simple disciple might not only be sold by him but could also end up helping him count the money.

But it could also be good, as such experiences could make her training more efficient...

Moxuzi's gaze became distant as he thought of something, watching towards the direction of Tongling Prefectural City, his distant look eventually morphing into a thoughtful one.

......

Shengxin Residence, the east room on the third floor.

Lian Ningxue was sitting in the room, holding a painting brush with her eyes closed, as if painting in the air. At first glance, it appeared that she was painting, but upon closer inspection, a mysterious ink-like aura subtly surrounded her body, which clearly indicated she was practicing cultivation.

Knock knock...

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the door. Lian Ningxue opened her eyes, her brows slightly furrowing. She had instructed that after The Hour of Hai each night, unless it was an emergency, no one was allowed to disturb her, not even Zhang Yuning.

Could it be that someone had knocked on the wrong door?

*Clang...*

Displeased due to being disturbed during her cultivation and not wanting to entertain visitors at this hour, Lian Ningxue thought it over but did not respond to the person outside.

To her surprise, the person outside directly pushed the door open.

This action made Lian Ningxue's frown deepen as she watched a burly man in black robes enter. A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes.

But what annoyed her was yet to come.

After the burly man in the black robe entered and raised his head to see her, he froze, his gaze lingering on her legs.

Lian Ningxue had always been self-conscious about her extraordinarily long legs, which made her stand nearly six feet three inches tall, towering over many men. When she was younger at the Haoran Holy Sect, she was often treated as an oddity for this reason.

Now, with her strength and status, naturally no one dared to mock her about it anymore, but the shadows of those early years lingered, and she hated when people stared at her legs.

And in this unfortunate moment, the young cutter was doing precisely that.

Lian Ningxue took a deep breath, and upon realizing she could not suppress her anger, a terrifying aura surged within her.

The young man in black abruptly snapped out of his daze...

Clearly realizing his misstep, he quickly bowed deeply, his tone full of apologies, "Marquis Yucheng of the Hou Clan of Zhaoyang has an urgent matter for Elder Lian. I apologize for any offense and hope for your generous forgiveness!"

Lian Ningxue's expression darkened, suppressing her anger, she said, "What do you want? Speak quickly."

"May I ask Elder Lian if you really intend to let Leiyin Temple take control of Tongling?"

This question from Hou Yucheng halted Lian Ningxue's actions, she lifted her head to observe Hou Yucheng's young face with a trace of curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

Hou Yucheng felt a surge of excitement, recalling the explanation Hou Yuxiao had taught him before, he stepped forward and began to talk to Lian Ningxue...
