Shang Ting and Mo Aiqing finally came back from buying clothes for the little child.

"Matriarch!" All of the disciples and elders greeted.

Shang Ting smiled at them and bowed at their direction as she held Aiqing's hand continuing their way to the mansion.

The first thing the both of them did is to look for Mo Xie.

Arriving, Shang Ting immediately called; "Husband?"

"DAAAADDEEEEEEH!!!" Aiqing followed up with a shout.

Shang Ting seeing this couldn't help but giggle; 'Such a cute child.'

Aiqing then closed her eyes trying to feel something. After just a few seconds, she opens up her eyes and immediately ran. Both her hands stretched like that of a bird while cutely skipping.

Shang Ting tilts her head wondering why as she followed behind the cute little girl.

The both of them reached the second floor, and as soon as Shang Ting caught up, she saw Aiqing staring at the door where Mo Xie had fixed his body earlier.

Shang Ting walks towards Aiqing and asked; "Your father is there?"

"UMN!" Aiqing replied cutely.

Shang Ting chuckles as she nodded and stood up, but when she's about to open the door, Aiqing held her hands and spoke.

"Mom, release your cultivation first, The aura inside will pressure you! BIG TIMEE~"

Shang Ting nodded as she giggles, Aiqing is acting extremely cute. She then released her cultivation and wrapped the two of their bodies and opened the door.

_Wooosh~_ A strong wind escaped the room as soon as it was opened.

Shang Ting's expression drastically changed as she bared the pressure, it felt the same as when Ye Xuefeng opened the door of the City Lord's treasury.

Then, remembering that Aiqing is with her, she immediately increased the power that is protecting the little girl.

But to her shock, Aiqing is standing there unfazed.

"Mommy, look, daddy is laying there sleeping!" Aiqing pointed as she jumped continuously.

"Ah... Yes." Shang Ting woke up from her daze hearing Aiqing's words.

She immediately stood up and went to Mo Xie's position, she looked at the scattered swords embedded on the floor before carrying him out of the room and brought him to their bedchamber.

Laying Mo Xie in the bed, Shang Ting looked at Mo Xie, to her, everytime that she thought the both of them becoming closer, Mo Xie will do something extremely mysterious, widening the gap between the two of them further.

"From being a person that everyone looked down on, in just a matter of few days, you already ascended to be one of the people that even the City Lord of Gangting City has to look up to..."

Shang Ting looked at Mo Xie with a face filled with sadness.

"Can I really be with you? Can I stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the future?"

As Shang Ting's thinking goes deeper, the more she felt the anxiety; "Is this... the difference between a real genius and a normal person? Will I be able to shoulder a burden with you? In the future?"

She felt that after these few weeks, she became a real genius, continuously breaking through from bronze rank 8-star cultivator and only stopping at the 8-star gold rank, her progress is extremely tremendous, and if she compares it to the speed of the cultivators inside the Gangting City, then she is definitely a genius.

But looking at Mo Xie and Aiqing, she couldn't help but doubt herself 'Can I do things like MoXie had done? Creating treasures like its nothing?'

Shang Ting felt a slight pain coming from her chest, the pain only came from her thought, but it felt like thousands of sharp needles are piercing her heart.

Unable to control her own emotions, tears started to form in her eyes, slowly streaking down to her cheeks.

_Poink~ Poink~_

Shang Ting's shoulders were tapped twice, she looked at the direction and saw Aiqing looking at her with a bright smile.

"Mommy! Don't worry! Daddy will never pick a useless baggage!" Aiqing spoke, her face full of pureness and innocent.

Shang Ting chuckles as the tears in her eyes dropped: "Yes, I know, should we go out and let your Daddy rest?"

Shang Ting stopped the track of her mind; 'Even a child is comforting me.'

Clearly, Shang Ting only thought that Aiqing's words were only to comfort her, never would she believe that Aiqing was actually telling the truth.

"Un! Let's play with those uncles outside!" Aiqing replied.

Aiqing dragged Shang Ting down to the first floor.

As soon as the two left, Mo Xie opened his eyes slowly, after a while, he stood up and prepared to leave after a few minutes later.

"Little Red."

_Swoosh~_ The bracelet in Mo Xie's hand immediately transformed as it became a small snake in front of Mo Xie.

"Master, what is your order." Little Red spoke.

Mo Xie smiled as he spoke: "You will be breaking through to Earth ranked demon beast, prepare."

Little Red's eyes turned big, directly going through to the Earth Rank? skipping black gold?

Little Red then nodded and replied: "Thank you, Master."

...

The two of them, Shang Ting and Aiqing looked at the busy disciples and elders preparing for the tournament that will be held today.

"Matriarch!" Everyone greeted as soon as they saw her.

Shang Ting smiled at them and spoke: "Continue, please don't let me bother you all."

"Yes!"

They all busied themselves again, another hour had pa.s.sed quickly. The preparation had all been finished, all of the disciples are lining up.

After a while, Mo Xie made his way down.

"Patriarch!" Everyone saluted as they bowed and kneeled on the ground.

"Rise! We will start the tournament with the silver ranked pract.i.tioners!" Mo Xie spoke in a normal manner, not exuding any amount of pride, only that of a person with antic.i.p.ation.

Mo Xie's aim? getting all of the top 10 spots for the Northern Star Gangting Tournament!

"Yes!" All of the pract.i.tioners with silver ranked pract.i.tioners lined up.

"The price for the top 4 to 10 will be a tier 1 soul weapon, and for the top 3 to top 1 will be tier 2 soul weapons. All of you, do your best!"

'What is that?' That is the question in everyone's mind, but no matter what, will their Patriarch that gave me a huge amount of salary be giving them something cheap? of course not!

Everyone felt excited, their eyes fierce, full of resolution, the will to obtain the top spot!
