In the evening, Tan Shaoting was relentless; without that soul body today, he had let go a lot.

"I’m taking Qi Hao and Qi Xuan to Bishui Peak, you should also go into seclusion. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of both of them without any problems."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Alright, I’m preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment Perfection."

"Have you prepared everything?"

Tan Shaoting nodded, "No problem. Half a month should be enough."

"Alright then, you go into seclusion here, and the three of us will stay at Bishui Peak until I complete my task."

Tan Shaoting was reluctant, but also knew that his seclusion was quite important. Besides, even if they returned, he wouldn’t be able to see them. It’s better for them to stay at Bishui Peak; it’s safer.

The next day, after seeing off the three of them, Tan Shaoting went into the room, set up the array, and began cultivating to break through to Foundation Establishment Perfection. He knew that he could only protect them by becoming stronger.

Su Yuanyuan took the two children to the task hall.

She explained the situation to the steward and also clarified where she used the materials.

They gave her another storage bag, and then the three of them left.

"Deacon Wang, I haven’t seen that female cultivator before."

"Brother Cai, she is a loose cultivator who came in during this year’s recruitment."

"Oh? Isn’t the sect not recruiting loose cultivators? Have I been in seclusion for so long that I know nothing now?"

"Brother Cai, I’m not sure about that either. I only know that there are three of them in the family, all with dual spirit roots, and the two children haven’t undergone spirit testing yet."

Cai Jianyong nodded. He had just come out of seclusion recently and thought he should ask about it. This female main character was surprisingly young yet approaching mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and she had also taken on the task of maintaining the array at Bishui Peak. This indicated a high proficiency in arrays, which was rare for a loose cultivator.

After arriving at Bishui Peak, Su Yuanyuan took the two little ones directly to the hall at the top of the peak. "Practice your swordsmanship here; I’ll be working nearby."

The two little ones had no objections; they hadn’t completed their tasks for the day yet, so they had no intention of playing.

Su Yuanyuan understood her two sons well, so she confidently went to check on the array.

No one would usually come here. If it weren’t for her taking this task, it would be tough for anyone to enter.

Chen Xue Man watched as the two little ones practiced their sword skills seriously and suddenly recalled her own childhood.

Back then, her father was already a later-stage divinity transformation great cultivator; because of her, he didn’t go into seclusion, intending to spend time with her.

At that time, she couldn’t compare to these two little ones. With such self-discipline, even among the disciples in the Qi Refinement Realm, few could manage that, right?

She truly didn’t know how good she had it, just like people said, over-sentimental.

The first time she heard someone gossip about her being over-sentimental, she was sad for quite a while. She didn’t think she was like that, but in retrospect, she really was.

For a man, she caused the sect to lose many outstanding disciples.

For a man, she chose to fall into silence, causing the sect to suffer another loss.

Following that younger junior around, knowing that the Xuantian Sect still stands strong, her guilt has lessened a lot.

Su Yuanyuan was accurate in her analysis; part of it was for love, another part was perhaps being unable to face the mistakes she had made against the sect.

She had walked around the entire Bishui Peak, recalling everything from the past.

She felt that her guilt toward the sect still existed, but it wasn’t as deep anymore. She could be relieved now, and she just wanted to know the man’s fate.

Her father definitely came down knowing something had happened to her, so he wouldn’t let that man go.

However, what made her resentful was knowing that the man had feelings for someone else, and her barging in.

She had to trouble Su Yuanyuan to take her to the Independent Practitioner Alliance to have a look.

Su Yuanyuan was also pretty fast today. The array at the mountain’s top was quite stable.

At noon, she returned to eat with her two children.

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

"Mom, we thought of following you. That way, you can work at ease."

Chen Xue Man floated to Su Yuanyuan’s side, "Junior, please complete this task quickly; I want you to take me to the Independent Practitioner Alliance to have a look."

"Senior, I’ve just arrived at the Xuantian Sect, I’m still under scrutiny. Can I go out?"

Su Yuanyuan felt helpless; this senior was too capricious.

Are all female cultivators in the cultivation world like this? She had met a few, but ones like her were indeed rare.

Her thoughts all revolved around love; she must remind her young woman not to neglect cultivation for emotions.

Chen Xue Man also realized she was putting Su Yuanyuan in a tough spot, "You arrange the time; I can wait."

Su Yuanyuan really wanted to shout that she couldn’t wait. For a regular person, they’d have reincarnated by now; this one was truly eccentric.

The mother and two sons placed the fifth-rank array plate at the mountain’s top before entering the space, ignoring this romantic fool.

After washing up, Su Yuanyuan decided to have a talk with her sons.

However, after talking for a long time, seeing their confused expressions, she thought maybe she was being irrational. They were not even four years old; what could they understand?

The next day remained the same; Qi Hao and Qi Xuan didn’t need supervision. After completing their tasks, the two brothers started to play around.

This continued for thirteen days. Su Yuanyuan had thoroughly checked the Bishui Peak’s array, and she felt her array proficiency had significantly improved. It was an unexpected gain.

"Senior, we can leave tonight. Do you have any other thoughts?"

Chen Xue Man shook her head, "No, let’s go. I’ve let go of this place."

"Alright, then we leave tonight."

After finishing the final tasks, Su Yuanyuan took her two sons to the task hall.

Someone was needed to verify the task, and they agreed to come back the next afternoon.

Su Yuanyuan took the two children back to the small courtyard, which was very peaceful inside.

"Mom, where’s Dad?"

"Your dad is cultivating."

The mother and sons entered the space, and the next day, Su Yuanyuan took the two children to Sword Peak to practice swordsmanship.

In the afternoon, after receiving the Spirit Stones and points at the task hall, this task was finally completed.

Worried for her young woman and not wanting to disturb Tan Shaoting, the mother and sons went down to the workshop the next day.

Qi Wen was genuinely happy to see her mom. Being alone down there without being able to return was really uncomfortable.

After staying for a while, she left. Song Chunqiao again approached Qi Wen.

"Junior Sister Tan, is that your mom? She’s also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, right?"

Qi Wen just nodded without saying anything.
