How could Xiao Ho not understand? She really has no idea right now.
"Mom, we want to go, we want to see the outside world,
rest assured, if it really doesn’t work, if we can’t survive outside, we will definitely e home."
Xiao Ho sighed. Actually, subconsciously, she wanted the children to venture into the Cultivation World.
She didn’t answer the children but looked at Qi Wen and said, "Senior, thank you."
Qi Wen shook her head; she didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs. "All I can do is take them into the Cultivation World. To get them opportunities in Xuantian Sect, getting them in would be best, if not, I’ll bring them back."
"Thank you, Senior." Xiao Ho knew the Tan Family had status in Xuantian Sect. With Qi Wen’s lead, the chances of success were high.
"Thank you, Senior."
Qi Wen stood up, "I’ll give you one night, we’ll leave tomorrow."
Lu Qinghai stepped forward, "Senior, when passing through the capital, can we return to visit the two elders?"
Qi Wen nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Ho hurriedly led the way, she had already instructed the people below to clean up the courtyard.
Qi Wen let Xiao Ho leave, and Gu Ersheng also came out.
"Is it you who want me to bring them back from the Mortal World?"
Gu Ersheng shook his head, "I also realized that your fate lies here only after arriving."
Qi Wen nodded, "Alright, I’ll directly take them back. But I’m powerless regarding the oute.
Also, I won’t disclose Xiao Ho’s identity."
Gu Ersheng nodded, "Arrange it as you see fit."
Xiao Ho hurried back to the hall. All four sons were waiting here.
She originally wanted to tell them about her cultivation situation, but Qi Wen had just conveyed to her not to say anything.
She understood it was for her protection.
"Since all four of you want to go to the Cultivation World, I won’t stop you, and I will persuade your father as well.
But I have demands from you too; you must remember your promise, if you can’t get into Xuantian Sect, and can’t make it in the Cultivation World, you must e back."
All four promised their mother again.
Xiao Ho smiled bitterly, knowing that some things aren’t as they wish them to be.
"The Cultivation World is extremely terrifying, that’s where survival of the fittest truly is.
For cultivation resources, one’s dignity may eventually vanish.
I don’t want you to bee such people, nor bee an overly nice person. You must discern clearly, and in the Cultivation World, trust no one, except this senior and her family; they are my lifesavers and will be yours as well."
The four brothers nodded, they were two years apart and at an age to understand.
Xiao Ho called in the guard to bring Lu Anning back.
"Mom, will our father agree?"
"If he doesn’t, what will you do?"
The four brothers were troubled, they didn’t know. They followed their father closely growing up and knew how much he loved them.
It’s a tough decision between dreams and family affection.
Xiao Ho said no more, pondering on what to say when Lu Anning returned.
She knew Lu Anning had long harbored doubts about her over the years. But since he never asked, she never said anything.
Lu Anning was a bit anxious, his wife never called him back at this hour, something must be up at home, so he hurried back swiftly.
Seeing his wife and four sons in the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief; as long as everyone was okay.
"Madam."
"Marquis, please sit."
"Madam, is there something wrong?"
"You four leave first. Marquis, let’s go to the study."
Xiao Ho’s behavior made Lu Anning even more uneasy.
Husband and wife sat opposite each other.
"Marquis, I am a cultivator."
Lu Anning nodded, "I have noticed. I also know about the four children cultivating."
Xiao Ho nodded, "Today an elder from my sect came. They saw our four children.
Their Spirit Roots are very excellent. They want to go to the Cultivation World, and I agree. Venturing out into the Cultivation World is also a good thing."
Not daring to be too specific, otherwise, Lu Anning would refuse out of fear, but she couldn’t deceive him either.
Lu Anning frowned, "Must they go, madam?"
"Marquis, it’s the children’s dream. They can cultivate, so of course, they want to see the wider world and perhaps one day bee immortals."
"Madam, I just want to ask, how can one bee immortal?"
"One must slowly cultivate step by step, search for resources, battle with heaven, and vie with cultivators."
"Is it so dangerous?"
"I don’t know how to explain it to you. Moving mountains and seas isn’t a lie; cultivating to a certain level can achieve that."
Listening to his wife, Lu Anning felt a deep conflict. His four sons grew up by his side, unlike the eldest, the father-son bond wasn’t something ordinary could pare to.
Though his wife didn’t clarify, he knew, if the sons went, they wouldn’t return shortly.
He might not even see them before his time ends.
But a man should have dreams and venture out.
His current status ensuring them a wealthy life wasn’t a problem.
The marquis position must go to the eldest. He had also arranged for these four sons. Doing his utmost to ensure they had the best.
Previously he thought his wife was non-petitive, now he realized she simply didn’t care.
Lu Anning’s face was full of bitterness; how could he bear it? How could he not?
He stood up, said nothing, and left.
Xiao Ho knew, let him think it through; if he truly disagreed, then forget it.
She was conflicted too, but ultimately all decisions rested with Lu Anning.
She returned to her own room, knowing he went to find their sons now. Let them, father and sons, discuss.
Qi Wen didn’t watch the family’s dilemma; the choice rests with them, and she didn’t want to invite trouble.
Resting in space, while not as powerful as her mother’s space, it’s full of Spiritual Energy, especially with so many Spirit Veins.
Bao Bao quarreled with her, which was quite amusing.
"Master, are we leaving?"
"Yes, regardless of their decision. I will leave tomorrow.
My mother must have transformed into Divinity by now. I wonder if the little sister was born, just thinking about it is exciting."
"I also like little babies."
"I like them too."
"Master, why not have one yourself, then we can bring her along to play."
Qi Wen choked on her own saliva, "Have a child? How without a man?"
"Men are plenty, master, I get it too. Though none here match you, finding the best one here would suffice."
