122: It’s time to change the tune! Conversation between in-laws!

Sensing the changes in heaven and earth, all those who had been waiting for a long time came out of their houses, looking up at Li Shengyuan sitting cross-legged in the void.

At this moment, everyone was incredibly excited.

After brewing for so long, is he finally going to break through?

People gathered in Giant Muscle City also rushed here, but they were horrified to find that the closer they got to Li Shengyuan, the greater the pressure to fly in the air!

Cultivators below the Fourth Rank found it extremely difficult to fly even three feet off the ground when they were one li away from Li Shengyuan!

This shocked everyone immensely. Is breaking through to the Third Rank really this terrifying?!

Disciples of major sects curiously asked their Third Rank Sect Masters, but the answer they received was negative.

Their breakthroughs had never involved such heavenly pressure…

Only then did everyone realize that Li Shengyuan's Third Rank was not comparable to an ordinary Third Rank.

As the news of Li Shengyuan's impending breakthrough spread, tens of thousands of people stopped and watched from a li away.

The deck of Li Shengyuan's hundred-zhang giant ship was also very lively at this time.

Even the crazy inventors of the Imperial Observatory put down their busy work and came to the giant ship's deck to watch Li Shengyuan's breakthrough.

Amidst the crowd, at the bow of the giant ship, several beautiful figures were the most eye-catching.

It was Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, and also a gorgeously dressed palace-attired beautiful woman.

It was Wenren Qingxuan, Li Shengyuan's mother!

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang each held one of Wenren Qingxuan's arms.

Wenren Qingxuan's graceful and noble face was filled with smiles. After a few months, her son had found her several good daughters-in-law, and she was naturally overjoyed.

She was just waiting for Li Shengyuan to successfully break through so she could personally praise him for a job well done.

Shen Xinrong's charming jade face was tightly strained, her gaze filled with worry as she looked at Li Shengyuan, and she nervously said to Wenren Qingxuan:

"Sister Xuan, when you broke through to the Third Rank before, was it as difficult as Shengyuan's?"

She hadn't been worried initially, but after waiting for a month, Shen Xinrong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Princess Pingyang also looked at her mother-in-law nervously.

However, a hint of displeasure appeared on Wenren Qingxuan's face. She patted Shen Xinrong's head and, without answering the question, hummed:

"How long has it been? Have you forgotten what I taught you again? What should you call me!"

"I'm used to calling you that for so many years!"

Shen Xinrong's face flushed, and she shyly lowered her eyes, then spoke in a small, hesitant voice:

"Auntie… Auntie Xuan…"

"Oh ~ That's the right seniority!"

Wenren Qingxuan finally showed a satisfied smile, "Once that foolish boy Shengyuan marries all of you, you'll have to change your address to 'Mother'. For now, call me 'Auntie' to get used to it."

"Mhm, I understand…"

Shen Xinrong nodded in response, feeling a little shy and awkward. For so many years in the Li family, she had called Wenren Qingxuan 'Sister', and now she was about to change to 'Mother'…

This made Shen Xinrong's charming face burn.

Princess Pingyang, who was holding Wenren Qingxuan's other arm, was simply amused. Normally, Sister Rong was the big sister, and now she finally saw her in a bind. Princess Pingyang was overjoyed.

She didn't even need to change her address after marriage; calling her 'Mother' now was already perfectly natural.

Shaking Wenren Qingxuan's arm, Princess Pingyang said worriedly:

"Mother, why is Brother Shengyuan's breakthrough to the Third Rank causing such a huge commotion? The sky has turned gray, looking like it's about to thunder and rain."

The smile on Wenren Qingxuan's face gradually faded, and a hint of worry also appeared on her face, but she still said calmly:

"Although his father and I also caused some faint heavenly phenomena when we broke through to the Third Rank, it was far from what this brat is doing!"

"As far as I know, phenomena that affect the environment of heaven and earth during a breakthrough occur when breaking through to the Second Rank and First Rank… Shengyuan affecting heaven and earth during a Third Rank breakthrough is unheard of. Perhaps it's related to his dual systems breaking through together!"

Wenren Qingxuan couldn't be sure. Seeing the deep worry on her two daughters-in-law's faces, Wenren Qingxuan continued with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's just a breakthrough to the Third Rank. This kid will be fine. Don't worry, he won't do anything he's not confident about!"

As a mother, she was very clear about her son's cautious nature.

The only thing that worried her was the dark clouds hanging over Li Shengyuan's head. It was just a Third Rank breakthrough; it shouldn't be tribulation clouds, right…

Just then, Wenren Qingxuan saw three familiar figures and her eyes lit up.

She called out to the Yuehua Palace's group not far away: "Palace Master Yue, why don't you bring your disciples here? It's spacious and the view is good!"

Through her good daughter-in-law Shen Xinrong, Wenren Qingxuan already knew about Li Shengyuan and Yue Qingmeng.

She also liked the cute and shy little girl very much, and she was very suitable to be her daughter-in-law.

Thus, as the master, Yue Xiyan would be a relative by marriage, and she certainly had to be well entertained.

That's why she was so proactive in inviting them when she saw the master and her two disciples.

However, Yue Xiyan felt some resistance towards this relative by marriage in her heart. She felt that she couldn't be called a relative by marriage yet, and she really disliked this title!

Looking up at Wenren Qingxuan, whose face was beaming with a warm smile, Yue Xiyan felt some reluctance to bring her disciples over.

However, the wife of the Great General of the Northern Border, and Li Shengyuan's mother, had extended an invitation, so she couldn't refuse.

After seeing her disciple Yue Qingmeng's expectant eyes, Yue Xiyan finally brought her two disciples to the bow of the giant ship.

Amidst everyone's envious gazes, the master and her two disciples boarded the giant ship.

"Madam Li, is there anything?" Yue Xiyan said coldly.

Moon Clearsnow and Yue Qingmeng, the two sister disciples, respectfully said:

"Hello, Madam Li."

Wenren Qingxuan, however, didn't mind Yue Xiyan's cold attitude at all, and said with a chuckle:

"Nothing much, I just feel like I've met Palace Master Yue too late and want to take this opportunity to chat more."

Then she looked at the two sister disciples and smiled gently: "No need to be so polite. If you don't mind, just call me Auntie Xuan."

"Auntie… Auntie Xuan."

Yue Qingmeng stammered out the address, her small face flushed red.

Moon Clearsnow, however, remained expressionless and did not speak. She always felt that something was off between them.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wenren Qingxuan looked at Yue Xiyan and asked with a smile:

"Sister Xiyan, what do you think of my son Shengyuan?"

It was just a casual question, but it made Yue Xiyan nervous. Although her face was covered by a veil, no change in her expression could be seen, but her heart couldn't help but pound.

What did Li Shengyuan's mother mean by asking her this question?

Did she see something? Or was there another meaning?

Yue Xiyan was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only vaguely say:

"He… he's quite good… Young, talented, strong, and also gifted."

"I think so too!" Wenren Qingxuan nodded with a chuckle.

She felt that since her relative by marriage said so, this marriage was definitely fine. She would find a time to propose marriage when they returned; it would be convenient since they were both in the Northern Region.

After Yue Xiyan finished speaking, she actually felt her heart beating a little fast.

What's going on?

Why was she so nervous?

Just then, someone exclaimed in fright.

"It's thundering! It's clearly sunny here, but it's thundering over there!"
