Chen Mobai was startled by what he heard but quickly thought of another important matter.
How much did she actually know?
"What are you talking about? After you left, my daughter and I depended on each other. No woman ever entered my house."
Chen Mobai instinctively began to refute, asserting that he wasnât that kind of person.
"Hmph, even though I was far away and couldnât see you most of the time, did you think you could hide your affairs with that performer and your old classmates from me?"
Bai Guang snorted coldly, her gaze sharp and aggressive.
Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, she didnât know about Qing Nu. Otherwise, the matters of Tianhe Realm would be hard to explain.
"This is not your place to meddle. My wife is Shi Wanyu, not you. Besides, before you left, you explicitly said that I could remarry."
Even though Bai Guang was formidable, Chen Mobai, as a dignified man, couldnât possibly concede to a woman and responded forcefully.
"At that time, I thought I couldnât come back, might even die in the universe, so I said such things..."
Bai Guang was utterly surprised that Chen Mobai dared to talk back.
If it were anyone else, she would have probably drawn her sword by now.
But facing the father of her child, her man, she held back, patiently reasoning with him.
"How dare you say itâs you who abandoned the family and left our daughter, so long since she was born, you never fulfilled your responsibility as a mother, and now you want to talk to me about our daughter..."
At this moment, Chen Mobai forgot what he had just said, and in his words, he already considered Bai Guang his wife.
"I did that to pave the way for the beings of the Immortal Gate. Besides, if I hadnât left Earth Element Star, how could I have cultivated the void? If I hadnât cultivated the void, how could I have faced todayâs great disaster of the Immortal Gate?"
"You canât justify your initial motives with the results. You might fool others, but thereâs no need to fool yourself."
"How am I fooling myself? Iâm telling the truth. If I hadnât acted today, youâd already be dead, and our daughter wouldnât have survived either. Everything I did led to the best outcome, so it is right!"
"You saved the Immortal Gate, saved me. I am very grateful, but weâve never had anything. From now on, no matter who Iâm with, as long as our daughter doesnât object, itâs none of your business."
"Donât push it too far, forcing me to be unreasonable." Bai Guang was also angered by what she heard.
Since Chen Mobai was stating facts, she had no way to refute them.
And in the beginning, it was indeed she who abandoned her husband and daughter to pursue a higher realm outside.
"How can a person not be reasonable..."
Before Chen Mobai could finish his sentence, Bai Guang already had a cold face, extending her hand to point.
He wanted to evade, but considering Bai Guangâs cultivation level, even though she was about to dissipate, that point still landed on his forehead.
"You..."
Chen Mobai regretted losing his sanity, wondering why he was reasoning with a woman.
But soon, he realized that Bai Guangâs point contained no power, just some intent related to Sword Dao.
As he continuously received this sword will, Bai Guangâs figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
Chen Mobai immediately extended his hand to catch the White Stone falling from mid-air.
"Sigh..."
After a long while, Chen Mobai couldnât help but sigh.
Although he didnât want to admit it, Bai Guang seemed to be an undeniable reality, a bit too tangled to unravel.
However, the threat Bai Guang left before disappearing still lingered in his ears. Chen Mobai decided to train even harder from now on, striving to surpass her cultivation level before she returns.
Otherwise, in the future, he might find it hard to hold his head high in the family.
Chen Mobai even contemplated hiding in Tianhe Realm at that time.
Qing Nu was much gentler than Bai Guang.
"Pure Yang..."
Just as Chen Mobai was immersed in his sighs, Qi Yuheng and Narcissus approached him.
"Whatâs wrong?"
Chen Mobai snapped back to reality, remembering that the Immortal Gate was undergoing an unprecedented change, his expression also turned grave.
"Did White Light Ancestor leave any other instructions before departing?"
Qi Yuheng asked, his complexion still somewhat pale, evidently suffering significant injuries from the battle with the Death God.
Narcissus was in a similar condition, her Domain being torn open, causing damage to her essence.
The Immortal Gate currently found itself at its weakest.
"Nothing much, but she left a sword will with me, which seems to contain subsequent cultivation patterns for the Immortal Sect Sword Art. Once I comprehend it, Iâll depict it for the Immortal Sect Disciples to study."
Chen Mobai shook his head, unable to admit he had an argument with Bai Guang.
However, he did mention the sword will; if in the future, someone in the Immortal Gate could cultivate the void through this Sword Dao, it would count as a merit.
"Thatâs good. I just noticed both you and the ancestor seemed quite emotional, like having a quarrel. The ancestor is toiling alone out there, itâs not easy, sometimes you should restrain yourself..."
Qi Yuheng hesitated but still advised.
Earlier, as the emotions flared between Chen Mobai and Bai Guang, they didnât notice the presence of several Immortal Sect Disciples not far away, speaking hastily, flushed and agitated.
Any keen observer could see it was an argument.
Everyone promptly turned around or gazed at the ground, to avoid letting White Light Ancestor feel like they saw something they shouldnât have.
In their hearts, they all sweated for Chen Mobai.
After all, Bai Guang had already cultivated the void.
