I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Cultivation families are generally those that have produced some exceptionally talented individuals who use their profound cultivation and resources to protect their descendants. Of course, after reaching the Integration Stage, cultivators will intentionally avoid contact with mortal families, since severing worldly ties is necessary for ascension. However, even before reaching the Integration Stage, the benefits to the family are enough to nurture many more people. This is why Su Chengdian was able to lay the foundation for cultivation in his childhood.

Of course, anyone with good talent would choose to leave home and join a cultivation sect to receive more systematic education. Due to his limited talent, Su's father became the head of the family in this generation.

Chu Chenmu followed Su Chengdian, and after turning a corner, they saw a woman dressed as a married woman standing on the stone steps outside a house not far away. Chu Chenmu probed her and found she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Mother! I've come to see you!"

It was Su's mother.

Upon hearing Su Chengdian's words, Su's mother excitedly looked up, quickly walked a few steps to Su Chengdian, took his hand, and looked him over with loving eyes. "You've grown quite a bit taller and look very healthy. I'm relieved."

Considering that there were several other people accompanying her son, and that there wasn't enough time for long reminiscing, she feared she might be impolite if she didn't provide proper hospitality. So she quickly steered the conversation towards them: "Why don't you introduce these distinguished guests to your mother?"

"Yes, Mother, this is my master. I am fortunate to have become his disciple. My master was the famous Venerable Xuanxiao a few years ago!"

Chu Chenmu was praised again, so he became tongue-tied once more. Moreover, this so-called famous Venerable Xuanxiao was just someone the original owner dealt with while traveling down the mountain when he was in the Golden Core stage, and rescued a group of ordinary people.

However, he still had the spirit of youth and wanted to do good deeds anonymously. When people asked him how to address his savior, he left the pseudonym "Xuanxiao". So people started to call him Venerable Xuanxiao. Then one time, among the people he rescued was a cultivator who had seen Chu Chenmu at the sect competition and immediately called out his real name.

From then on, Chu Chenmu lost his code name, and everyone equated Xuanxiao Venerable with Chu Chenmu.

This embarrassing incident made the original owner increasingly taciturn and rarely leave the mountain, a trait that has now been passed down to this Chu Chenmu.

Chu Chenmu couldn't help but scratch his toes, but he still wanted to continue socializing, so he slightly clasped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Madam. I, Chu Chenmu, dare not presume to be a superior. Please address me as you wish."

"This is my senior sister, Tian Yige, and this is my junior brother, Luo Suichen. They are both very kind to me and take good care of me, so Mother can rest assured."

"Venerable Chu, Little Immortal Lord Tian, ​​Little Immortal Lord Luo," Su's mother addressed them one by one, choosing very respectful titles for their first meeting.

"Hello, Auntie," Tian Yige and Luo Suichen said in unison. "You mustn't do that, Auntie. Just call us by our names."

After exchanging warm greetings, the group was invited into the hall by Su's mother. They chatted for a while before the others were led to the guest rooms, leaving Su Chengdian to accompany his mother.

Su's father was not seen this time; Su's mother said he was busy with errands.

Su's father hadn't returned for several days, and Su Chengdian was getting anxious. Su's mother initially tried to hide the truth, but after repeated questioning, she finally revealed the truth.

It turns out that about ten days ago, there were suspected traces of demons in Muliu Town on the outskirts of Suzhou. The locals reported this to the nearby Chongshan Sect, but there has been no news since. When Su's father heard about this, he felt that as a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, he should go and help, but he did not expect that there would still be no news.

"What! Mother, you should have told me about such a big matter sooner. I am now capable of helping Father, and besides, Master is here. We will definitely be able to resolve this matter!"

Su Chengdian hurriedly found Chu Chenmu and told him about the matter. Upon hearing that it was of great importance, Chu Chenmu lost his laziness and casualness. He called Tian Yige and Luo Suichen, said goodbye to Su's mother, and after finding out the location, he left in a hurry.

Muliu Town wasn't far from here, and we quickly arrived nearby after a hurried journey. As soon as we got closer, we could see that the people looked quite uneasy. There were very few pedestrians on the streets, and even the few who were there mostly looked rushed and somewhat flustered.

It was as if they were hiding from something terrible.
