They would eventually have to depart from the clan, and their future lives would not be within its walls?

Did their Master mean that she had no intention of taking them along?

Wu Zimo had never discussed with his Master what would happen after the competition, and she had never mentioned it either. However, in his heart, his Master had saved their lives and taught them the ways of cultivation. In his mind, they would unquestionably follow her in the future. The competition was just a small mission, and they had the potential to achieve even greater things.

But…

He never expected that his Master did not plan on bringing them along.

Similar to Sword One and Lingyun.

The elation he felt after his breakthrough suddenly waned, leaving a sense of calm in its wake.

For a moment, he was unsure whether he should come out.

“Why aren’t you coming out?” Gu Chaoyan asked directly.

With her current level of cultivation, she could already sense their auras.

The four of them had been cultivating together.

Although she didn’t know who had achieved the breakthrough first, she could sense that someone had awakened.

Coincidentally, she had refrained from entering and was waiting outside.

But after a while, no one emerged.

Curious about the delay, Gu Chaoyan asked directly, unaware of the reasons behind it.

Wu Zimo felt a sense of embarrassment. Initially, he had hesitated to come out because he didn’t know how to face his Master. The recent events still lingered in his heart, unresolved.

However, he mustered up his courage and emerged hesitantly. “Master.” “What? Have you made a breakthrough?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

It happened much earlier than she had anticipated, and she hadn’t expected Wu Zimo to be the first one to break through again. He seemed to have been consistently the fastest among the four of them in achieving breakthroughs. Previously, it had only been a little bit longer, but this time, the gap was even more pronounced.

The one who would likely prevail in the future was most likely him.

Wu Zimo nodded, standing not far away from Gu Chaoyan.

He remained silent.

Gu Chaoyan assumed that he had not yet fully adjusted his emotions due to what happened with his father at the Wu family, so she decided not to disturb him further. “Then rest for a while. Once the others awaken, I’ll take all of you to the mountain.”

“Also, someone from the Bai family came to inform me that your father came looking for you. What do you want to do about it?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

His father?

What was he doing here?

Before, Wu Zimo wanted his father to leave with them. He was unwilling to let his father’s presence burden their lives outside the Wu family.

Since their childhood, their father had never shown much concern for them. Instead, he had always been worried that they would cause trouble for him.

When they left earlier, it seemed like their relationship had been severed.

So why was he seeking them out again?

Did he somehow find out about the good fortune their Master possessed?

Wu Zimo knew his father’s personality all too well.

“Ignore him,” Wu Zimo said coldly. Then, he lowered his head and said, “I’ll guard them and cultivate here. Master, go and rest.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She made a conscious decision not to interfere in their family matters.

With that in mind, she entered the house to rest.

She couldn’t predict what they would encounter once they entered the mountain, so she wanted to prepare some additional pills as a precautionary measure.

Furthermore, considering Wu Zimo’s unsettled state, she believed it was best not to disturb him at the moment.

Even by the next morning, the other three still hadn’t achieved a breakthrough. It seemed that they were considerably lagging behind Wu Zimo.

The following morning…

Wu Zimo remained on guard.

But early in the morning, he noticed Si Kangning approaching with a group of people.

“Si Kangning, what do you want?” Wu Zimo asked warily..
