The next morning, Xue Tianxing gathered all the members of the Barak team and told them about their idea of going to Tianshui City.
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Dugu Yan nodded in agreement almost immediately. Since arriving in Barak City, they had either been practicing in the palace or going to the Soto City Fighting Arena. They had hardly ever left these two cities and had long wanted to visit other places and experience the customs and practices of different regions.
Cao Qing did not hesitate at all. He looked at Xue Tianxing and said firmly:
"Wherever Your Highness goes, I will go. Your Highness's decision is my decision."
To him, Xue Tianxing is not only the team leader but also the benefactor who saved him and changed his destiny. He has long regarded Xue Tianxing's wishes as his own principles.
After making sure that all team members agreed, Xue Tianxing took Shui Bing'er to the king's palace to tell his father Xuezhe and mother Yu Ningxin the news.
When they arrived at the palace study, Xuezhe was discussing something with Yu Ningxin. Yu Ningxin was reading a book on the couch beside them while talking. When they saw Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger coming in, they both stopped what they were doing and smiled gently on their faces.
When Xuezhe saw his son and daughter-in-law come in, he asked:
"Tianxing, Bing'er, how come you have time to come here today? Is there something going on?"
Xue Tianxing nodded and told everything about his plan to go to Tianshui City, including the reasons for exchanges and learning among the five elemental academies and accompanying Shui Bing'er and her sister home for a reunion.
After listening to this, Xuezhe nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"Okay, that's a good thing. Bing'er has been with you since she was twelve years old. She's been in Barak City for so many years and hasn't been back to Tianshui City to see her family in several years. It's only right that you accompany her back to visit."
He looked at Shui Bing'er, his eyes full of approval, and then continued:
"Bing'er is smart, sensible, and strong. She has always helped Tianxing manage the team. She is a good girl."
Shui Bing'er felt a little embarrassed by Xuezhe's praise, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is what I should do."
Xuezhe smiled and turned his gaze to Yu Ningxin beside him. There was a bit of complex emotion in his eyes, and his tone became softer:
"The person I feel most sorry for in my life is your mother.
Back then, she gave up everything in Spirit City and followed me back to the Barak Kingdom. Over the years, due to the strained relationship between the Kingdom and Spirit Hall, I haven't been able to let her go back to see her family. Neither have your children been able to go to Spirit City to recognize your relatives."
When Yu Ningxin heard this, she gently held Xuezhe's hand. There was no resentment in her eyes, only tenderness and understanding:
"Brother Zhe, don't say that. I had already thought this through when I decided to follow you. Over the years, you've been good to me and the children. I'm already very satisfied and have no regrets."
Xue Tianxing watched the tender interaction between his parents and understood his father's thoughts in his heart - Xuezhe had always felt guilty about his mother, but because of the conflict between the kingdom and the Spirit Hall, he was never able to fulfill his promise to bring his mother back to Spirit City.
Now that I have grown up and have gained a certain amount of strength, my father hopes that I can make up for this regret and not repeat his mistakes.
He looked at his mother, Yu Ningxin. Although his mother said that she had no regrets, Xue Tianxing could tell from her occasionally absent-minded eyes that she had not returned to her hometown and had not seen her relatives for decades. In fact, her mother was always worried about her family in Wuhun City.
Xuetian walked to his mother's side, gently held her other hand, and said firmly:
"Mother, don't worry. In two years at most, I will allow our family to go to Wuhun City openly to visit Grandpa and Uncle.
By then, no one will be able to stop us, and no one will dare to stop us!"
Now, he not only has the favor of the Ice God and the help of the Silver Dragon King, but the strength of his team is also constantly improving. Given time, he will surely have enough power to break the shackles of the kingdom and the Spirit Hall and fulfill his mother's wish to return to her hometown.
Yu Ningxin looked at her son's determined eyes, felt the warm power in her hands, tears welled up in her eyes, but she showed a relieved smile:
"Okay, Mother believes you. Mother is waiting for that day."
After Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er left the king's palace, they returned to their respective residences.
Lying in bed, Xue Tianxing was not sleepy at all. His mind kept circling around the obstacles that prevented his mother, Yu Ningxin, from recognizing her grandfather's family outside Wuhun City.
He knew very well that the core reasons why his mother had not dared to recognize her relatives in her hometown for decades were nothing more than two reasons - the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.
Let's talk about the Tiandou Empire first.
Once upon a time, the relationship between the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall was tense, and my mother was born into the angel clan of Spirit City. If her identity was exposed, the Tiandou Empire would inevitably suspect that the Barak Kingdom was colluding with the Spirit Hall and would put pressure on the Barak Kingdom.
But the situation is different now. The Xue Ye Emperor of the Tiandou Empire has been "dealt with" by a series of means and has become completely obedient.
Not to mention just knowing that his mother was going to Wuhun City to recognize her relatives, even if he knew clearly that his mother was a member of the angel clan, he would not dare to express any dissatisfaction even if he had a hundred times the courage, let alone attack the Barak Kingdom.
After all, the current Barak Kingdom is no longer the small kingdom that was at the mercy of others. It has its own strength and the strength of its team to support it, and the Tiandou Empire dare not provoke it easily.
Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire, once an obstacle, is no longer a threat. Looking at the Spirit Hall, the situation is much more complicated.
Through his previous contact with Qian Renxue and the information revealed by Qian Renxue, Xue Tianxing had already figured out the internal structure of the Spirit Hall - the worship hall forces headed by the great worshiper Qian Daoliu had a natural sense of belonging and importance to the angel clan.
If his family went to Wuhun City to recognize their relatives, Qian Daoliu and others would not object. Instead, they would be happy because there was a new member of the clan who possessed the six-winged angel spirit.
After all, the six-winged angel spirit is one of the symbols of the Spirit Hall. Every additional owner means that the power of the angel clan has been strengthened. This is a hundred benefits and no harm to the Worship Hall.
What really worries Xue Tianxing is the force in the Spirit Hall headed by Pope Bibi Dong.
As someone who has read the original novel, Xue Tianxing knows Bibi Dong's past and character better than anyone else - her hatred for the angel clan has long been deep in her bones, and her almost paranoid "love" for Yu Xiaogang has made her unscrupulous.
Xue Tianxing couldn't imagine what crazy actions Bibi Dong would take if she knew that he possessed the six-winged angel spirit and that it was he who indirectly caused Yu Xiaogang to lose his male ability and become the last "eunuch" on the Douluo Continent.
