Chapter 171: Chapter 171: From a Mysterious Place

Master Xie was feeling incredibly anxious and eager, wanting to take Xie Guixue back to consult the Moon Clan Elders.

But she had to rein in her emotions and remain standing here.

Su Muyao was someone Gui Xue loved, and yet she willingly became his Beast Husband without discussing it with him.

However, as a mother, she naturally understood her son’s situation.

If it weren’t for...

All these years, she and her son had lived relying on each other, and now her son acted so recklessly for a She-beast, disregarding her as a mother, making her feel as if her son was being taken away by someone, a discomfort settled in her heart.

Thinking of his father who, without hesitation, sacrificed his life to save her back then, made her heartache so she could hardly straighten up.

Thus, Gui Xue must not encounter any issues, even if she has to become a selfish villain.

She stood here with a furrowed brow, awaiting Su Muyao’s reply.

Su Muyao’s hand trembled slightly, causing the bracelet to move along, she hoarsely said in a low voice, "Master Xie, this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

"But I understand what Master Xie meant."

Although Su Muyao was emotionally disturbed, she did not let herself lose composure.

The more critical the moment, the more she maintained calmness and clarity, even when there is love, she did not want to submit to compromise.

This was her principle, absolutely not compromising for anyone, even if she loves this person.

Master Xie said, "This is meant for you, it is not an ordinary bracelet, it was given to me by Gui Xue’s father, and it is the bracelet that the Pure Blood Ice and Snow Spirit Beast has been giving to their son’s wife for generations."

Afraid that Su Muyao would refuse, Master Xie had to say more to add context, "The Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts actually do not belong here; they come from a very mysterious place."

"Their physique is also special, like a Phoenix; without being able to be reborn through fire, they would fall."

"Thus, they need to be treated with care, until they are completely healed, reborn through fire, with their soul completely stabilized, there won’t be any more issues."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression shifted, a mysterious place, reborn through fire, is it to overcome a tribulation?

Master Xie paused momentarily, then added, "He is your Beast Husband, there is a Heavenly Dao constraint between you two; if you are in danger, then he will also be in danger, and I do not wish for anything to happen to him."

"Besides, he currently has soul issues, you cannot save or help him now."

While acknowledging Su Muyao as her son’s wife, she did not agree with them being together; Gui Xue’s safety was more important.

Moreover, if certain forces were to find out, it would also bring danger to Su Muyao, and consequently to Gui Xue as well.

Should Su Muyao die, Gui Xue’s life is connected with hers; even if the relationship is severed through Secret Techniques, Gui Xue would still be harmed, his body cannot endure any upheaval.

Since Master Xie had stated as much, Su Muyao naturally couldn’t persist; she was not the type to do so.

Even with many doubts, she knew that at this moment, she did not have the right to ask, nor the right to know, in Master Xie’s eyes.

Thus, she didn’t ask further.

Yet, she wanted to insist a bit, "I understand Master Xie wants the Divorce Letter."

"But Master Xie, shouldn’t this matter be discussed with Gui Xue?"

Originally, it was the two of them who bowed to the Heavenly Dao together, and now she alone writes this, it’s not fair to him, plus their affection is genuine.

Master Xie faintly smiled, seemingly dismissive of these words, "My son is very filial; he understands how much I have sacrificed for him, whatever I do is for his good, he will understand."

"Or is Miss Su trying to propose some condition, it’s alright, just say it."

Su Muyao laughed, why should she humiliate herself, she tried her best, the situation was beyond her control.

Soon, she wrote the Divorce Letter exactly as Master Xie intended and handed it to her.

But at the moment she handed the Divorce Letter to Master Xie, she felt a void in her heart.

Seeing the Divorce Letter, Master Xie sighed with relief, at least she was sensible, she softened her tone saying, "Good child, if you are destined, you will meet again."

After saying this, Master Xie took the Divorce Letter and left directly.

Su Muyao rushed out instantly, watching the flying beast carry the carriage soaring into the sky.

She watched like that until the carriage vanished before she drew back her gaze.

While knowing a storm of emotions brewing inside her heart, she still struggled to suppress every emotion, leaving none to surface.

At this time, Xie Yi walked up to Su Muyao and said, "Miss Su, don’t blame the Family Head, it’s not easy for the Family Head either."

"Back then, our Family Head was just a frail She-beast, being the third lady of the family, despite possessing Pure Blood lineage of the Xie family, she was not favored."

"At that time, the third lady was very naive, and she never thought of vying for the position of Family Head, but just because she was a She-beast, she was persecuted by other half-sisters from the same mother but different fathers, she was even poisoned."

"Later, when the clansmen attempted assassination, it was Young Master Ling who saved her, and thereafter they were together."

"I don’t know what exactly happened in between, I only know, a mysterious person appeared in the Xie Family who revealed what Young Master Ling’s true form was, some people in the Xie family then sent many experts to hunt Young Master Ling and the third lady, all to obtain the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast."

"At the final moment, the third lady gave Young Master Ling a Divorce Letter, and although Young Master Ling could have left on his own without issue, taking along the third lady at the time was very difficult; later, seeing they were about to perish under pursuit, Young Master Ling sacrificed all Essence Blood, transforming it into an elixir and fed it to the third lady, and thus Young Master Ling perished."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao was brutally shaken, only feeling it exceedingly cruel, "So it was a sacrifice of the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast?"

Xie Yi nodded, "Yes, Young Master Ling used this method to save the third lady, and at the same time, he perished and turned to dust."

Actually, he also heard many things from his mother, his mother is currently a trusted Hidden Guard beside the Family Head.

"It’s said the third lady cried desperately not wanting to use it, but the elixir automatically entered her mouth, dissolving immediately upon entry, at the time, the third lady’s body thoroughly recovered and was relieved of poison, awakening superpowers straight to Level 9."

"Then the third lady went on a rampage, slaughtering numerous people from the Xie family."

"The third lady always said she harmed Young Master Ling, stating if she had let him leave earlier, he would surely live well, not end up like this, and the third lady mentioned Young Master Ling did not belong to our Mortal World."

"The third lady killed many people, all those of the Xie family who had partaken in the matter were slain; after avenging, the third lady wanted to commit suicide following Young Master Ling, but was discovered pregnant, it was for her son that she lived on."

"From start to finish, the Family Head only had one Beast Husband, and that was Young Master Ling, having no other beasts by her side."

"Perhaps the Family Head also fears the life and death of her son is linked to Miss Su."

It surely is too cruel for a wife to perish and the Beast Husband to follow.

At this moment, Su Muyao suddenly comprehended why Master Xie would say those things.

Logically, she understood, compared to risking Xie Guixue to stay by her side, ensuring his well-being is more important.

But being treated by Master Xie in such a way, ultimately left her heart restless.

Su Muyao removed the pendant from her neck and put it on the table, "You can give this to your Master later, no need to mention me."

They were already unrelated.

Even if there is any danger, she would no longer use this item, nor bring him any risk.

This Magic Artifact should be connected with him.

She genuinely wished that Xie Guixue would always be well.

Suddenly realizing something, Su Muyao asked, "The mysterious person who appeared in the Xie family back then came from what force?"

Just now, Master Xie mentioned that the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast came from a mysterious place.

What place exactly?

Xie Yi shook his head, "That I do not know."

"As for Master’s detail, everything is sealed; only a few trusted caretakers of Master know, nobody within the Xie clan knows."

Su Muyao understood while communicating with Xie Yi a bit, she learned a lot.

She wanted to remove the bracelet, since just now she had been unable to do so, it appeared to be a Magic Artifact, "Why can’t it be taken off."

She would not keep anything that did not belong to her.

Xie Yi said, "You need a Seventh-level Superpower to take it off."

He was at Level 6, so he couldn’t help.

Su Muyao’s expression grew solemn, "I understand, I should return now."

Xie Yi intended to say something, but not being the Family Head or Master, saying anything was futile.

"Let me escort Miss Su back."

Su Muyao did not politely refuse; truly, her safety involves many people, she could not act rashly, "Alright, then thank you."

Xie Yi was escorting Su Muyao over a mountain forest when they encountered an ambush.

From the depths of the forest came the vibrating sound of bows, countless arrows forming an arrow rain with chilling killing intent and an intense icy chill, shot directly towards Su Muyao seeking to kill her.
