Xu Tian expressed his assumption to all the chiefs including Du Luhan and Du Luhan also informed Mu Haocun of this latest news.
"His abduction happened that bad?" said Mu Haocun stroking his chin. His face was still pale yet his eyes emitted an enormous curiosity.
The contrasting sight that Du Luhan saw made him hesitant to notify the matter outside but in the end Du Luhan chose to tell Mu Haocun.
"Grandfather, we're going to bed, see you tomorrow," Xiaohan, Xiaoqiu and the other children said.
Xiaoleng, Xiaojia, Xiaobao, Xiaohua, Xiaofu and Xiaoqi stayed behind to clean the cutlery and brew tea.
The six children also usually sleep rather late because they have to take care of their younger siblings so Mu Haocun never forbid the six children are still wandering at this hour.
Du Luhan and Mu Haocun discussed the increasingly widespread kidnapping cases for 2 hours. Xiaoleng and the others had already returned to the room and slept.
"Thank you for taking the time to hear about our problems. I'd better go back.you.look less healthy. Have a good rest, sorry to interrupt your rest time," Du Luhan said staring at Mu Haocun worriedly.
"See you tomorrow," said Mu Haocun casually.
Du Luhan hurriedly pulled the Xu brothers out of the North Meeting House and accompanied by Mu Lian they got out of the wagon.
"Wait a minute, Senior Du. If you need a communication tool, just take Zhi ge or Ah Zhou on the exploration team," Mu Lian said.
Du Luhan shook his head, "We are reducing the exploration schedule and prioritizing improving cultivation.
At least, a drink that is important enough to keep our body temperature balance awake because the cultvator is also an ordinary human,"
"Alright, but don't hesitate to invite them both if communication tools are needed!" said Mu Lian.
The Xu clan group that was the victim in the kidnapping actually carried a communication device but the magic tool was successfully tampered with and managed to trick Xu Tian himself.
The signal that should be received if the person carrying the magic tool was in danger was not there and awaited for several days the signal was never received by Xu Tian.
Mu Lian concluded that the kidnapper had a way to turn off the magic tool without being discovered.
Du Luhan simply nodded and left without saying anything more. It seems like the decision has been unanimous not to do any more exploration in the near future.
"See you tomorrow!" said Xu Jing as he waved his hand. Mu Lian replied.
Mu Lian immediately went back in the wagon because tomorrow morning had to teach. The last few days they were able to relax and catch up on the lesson because Meimei was in a stable condition.
"Lian jie!" Xiaobai appeared out of nowhere then perched on top of Mu Lian's head.
That night, although Mu Lian and Xiaobai each thought of something, both of them fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning Mu Lian woke up and got ready. Mu Lian discovered there was something different about Xiaobai. Xiaobai looks more mature and wiser.
Perhaps because every day he learned the legacy of knowledge passed down from his mother. Little by little the results become more visible.
After he finished getting ready, Mu Lian went to breakfast together with the others. The Xu brothers and Du Luhan were already in the North Meeting House with the children.
The atmosphere was already bustling as Mu Lian approached the North Meeting House. The laughter of the children was heard outside.
"Good Morning grandfather, good morning everyone," Mu Lian said.
"Morning Lian'er,"
"Morning Lian jie!"
As soon as the breakfast was finished being distributed, everyone ate voraciously. Mu Lian caught Xiaoleng and Xiaobao throwing glances at each other. The two communicate in secret.
Mu Lian only understood what the two children wanted as the lesson progressed. While studying with Mu Haocun, who was studying general knowledge in this world, the two asked about niendan.
They wonder what makes niendan different from jiendan. Last night, they heard about a kidnapping case involving a guardian creature of this world.
"What distinguishes us from legendary creatures, mythical creatures and other creatures is of course the structure of the body.
The bodies of these created beings can make what we call jiendan real in this world, materialized and touchable and can be used in real time.
The core is also called niendan. There are advantages and disadvantages to having niendan. And the real disadvantage is that niendan can be taken from its owner..." Mu Haocun began to explain.
Although it was not very detailed and detailed those clever children could hear the gist of the explanation Mu Haocun gave.
"I've never seen the original form of the creatures that grandfather mentioned." Xiaohan said. The others nodded.
Since first living together with Mu Lian, the children did not have the opportunity to see the true form of Meng Zhi, the legendary creature as well as their closest person.
"Oh? Here are 2 people you can make as learning materials," Mu Haocun said as he looked at Xu Jing and Xu Ke who were preparing to teach.
Their turn was after Mu Haocun so the two were preparing all sorts of necessities.
"..." - ".(Xu Jing and Xu Ke)
"Look! We want to see it!" contact the whole rowdy room with the children's request.
"Ok-okay! Kids, follow us! We have to do it outside!" xu jing said cheerfully.
"Wait, Ah JIng!" exclaimed Xu Ke, but his sister had already rushed out followed by the children.
Mu Lian approached Xu Ke and examined him, "What's wrong?"
"Ehm, that...Ah Jing is at great risk if she returns to her original form so we forbid her from using her original form since she was a child" Xu Ke continued,
"Ah forget. We're in a wagon. There's no danger in here, is there? Once in a while the child must be released back to his original form,"
"Is that bad?" said Mu Lian. Xu Ke nodded.
Xu Ke explained that by transforming into a human, Xu Jing gained an additional layer of protection in his dantian so as to better control the flow of the lackey chi.
"Gee!"
"Beautiful!"
"Cool"
Xu Ke's voice sank among the increasingly rowdy child-like voices. It seemed like Mu Lian and Xu Ke had been talking inside for too long.
Mu Lian and Xu ke immediately followed to the back garden and saw a dog about the size of 2 adults and reaching 4 meters in height.
The aura around him exuded an incredible force. Its pointy ears and thick feathers add to its overall stoutness.
The greenish-colored light made his tail that Mu Lian elus had always wanted add to his dashing impression.
"Hmm? My feeling or is the sole of his foot radiating light?" Xiaoqiu.
"Whoa!"

[Ha~a long time ago I wasn't in this form!]
Xu Jing's voice echoed into the other's mind.
However Mu Haocun did not let Xu Jing enjoy her form and just had fun by herself as the lessons were still going on.
"Ahem, we continue what you explained.You still remember how many creatures in this world? The one before you is a guardian creature made up of 12 clans..." Mu Haocun explained as he stood beside Xu Jing.
"Grandfather, what is the function of the halo above Jing ge's forehead?" ask Xiaohua.
"Ah, the Xu clan is famous as fog riders. Their dwellings are covered in mist and this halo helps them be able to easily interact with the fog.
They are also known as lightning guards. So they can control their speed to be as fast as lightning..."
"I want to see!"
"How do you think it feels to walk in the fog?
Children become increasingly anxious because they get new knowledge but can not be ascertained the truth.
They want to know how to ride the fog, how to run as fast as lightning and so on.
"Please the experts, to show it to the children," Mu Haocun said. Xu Jing's tail moved around showing great joy but Xu Jing had not had time to show off, Xu Ke changed and offered.
"Any kid wants to see my niendan?" said Xu Ke somewhat awkwardly as anyone would be nervous to show his weakness before others.
Xu Ke in the form of his dog, sitting firmly and firmly like a rock with fierce waves.
The more sensitive children had already felt the movement of chi from within Xu Ke's body while the others had only felt the movement after seeing a golden light around Xu Ke's stomach.
The light then spread throughout Xu Ke's body then began to mix with the halo above the magic mark on Xu Ke's forehead.
"As you know, that the degree of core formation in non-human beings is called niendan. You see the golden light? That means Ah Ke's core is a strong and perfect core.
The average niendan belonged to a mythical creature, the legendary sentinel creature all had a powerful and perfect core that was shown in golden color.
They can materialize their core into the real world the way is to strengthen the body, strengthening the characteristics they have..."
"But that way niendan will be easier to track and retrieve, right?" Xiaoleng. Mu Haocun nodded.
"Well, who wants to go up next? Oh ah Jing, you can only use a quarter of your strength," Xu Ke said. Xu Jing could only frown.
The children took turns riding Xu Jing and Xu Ke. The older ones each brought the younger ones in so that the safety of the younger ones was maintained.
And the younger ones were mostly brought by Xu Jing who used only a quarter of his strength.
"Wohoo!" xiaofu and Xiaohan exclaimed from a distance.
"JAROS!" the thunderous roar accompanied Xiaofu and Xiaohan's shouts.
Mu Lian and the others only saw a shadow behind the fog that appeared out of nowhere. The fog is like cotton candy. Melt instantly when exposed to saliva and disappear somewhere.
The dazzling lights flickering to make the cotton candy live. After a few hundred flickering lights were seen then there was a rumble of lightning that added to the rampant fog.
A striking way to stroll through the capital, thought Mu Lian.
What Mu Lian did not expect was when Xiaofu suddenly wanted to come with Xu Ke riding the fog in full force.
"Next!" exclaim Xu Jing. Xu Jing flew at a low altitude and the path was not too long so only a minute had already returned to replace her passengers.
Xiaoqi rode with two 9-year-old little girls of the same age as Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu. Their faces were like a pea in two. The only difference is the location of their moles.
"Ready? Eh? Xi-Xiaobai?!" said Xu Jing surprised to feel the stowaway perched on his head. It turned out that the feather ball was Xiaobai. Its color contrasted with Xu Jing's toska fur color.
"RAWRH!" xiaobai replied, hinting Xu Jing to take off immediately.
"What's? I just want to feel like I'm walking behind the fog!" xiaobai said after feeling Mu Lian's gaze.
"Ehem" said Mu Lian. Usually the boy never got along with Xu Jing. At every opportunity Xiaobai always put his little kick on Xu Jing's face.
The day's lessons are spent discussing creatures of legend, myth and guardian. Who could accidentally peel completely as round as cultivation.
Being in the midst of the children's cheer makes Mu Lian and Mu Haocun a little relaxed but a few days later Meimei experienced another blaze and it seems more difficult than ever.
"Any thing," said Mu Lian. Mu Lian explained that the treatment is still the same, the level of the blaze is rising little by little but Meimei should have gotten used to it all and can go through the blaze calmly.
"Maybe Mei jie needs moral support. Moreover, he had been separated from his dao partner for 5 more months instead. How many more months until the blaze subsides?" said Xu Jing.
"At least 2 months. Ah, you're right. Perhaps the problem is his heart, again a matter of the heart" Mu Lian murmured.
"You better find a way for Mei jie to be able to communicate with Zhi ge in the near future" Xu Jing said.
"I know what they need!" said Mu Lian hurriedly running towards the Meimei residence.
Late night should be in a critical condition like Meimei, Meimei has to sleep for the next 30 hours but Mu Lian believes Meimei's unsettled heart can interfere with his recovery so that any amount of sleep will not be effective.
"May jie..." Mu Lian woke Meimei up gently.
"Emmm....Lian'er?" meimei lirih.
Meimei looked at Mu LIan's figure in the darkness. His cultivation had already decreased so his vision was not as sharp as before.
Meimei saw Mu Lian moving some blankets and pillows to...gondola? The gondola was not far from his bed.
"You ready? To hear Zhi ge's voice after all this time?" said Mu Lian.
"Oh!" Meimei forgets that the gondola has a communication device that beats any magic tool. Her voice.clearly! Similar to the original sound!
