Chapter 89 Their Suspicion
*Tap… Tap…*
Zhu Honglian decided to look for her mother in her bedroom, because Zhu Yuhe usually didn’t sleep until noon. But when she got to her mother’s room, she saw that Zhu Yuhe was still sleeping soundly, and her face looked really tired.
But Zhu Honglian found something strange, when her mother fell asleep with a satisfied smile, She could also smell a familiar scent from Zhu Yuhe’s body, and it confused her. ‘Why is Xia Tian’s smell so strong on Mom’s body?’
She then decided to wake up Zhu Yuhe, she gently patted her mother’s body as she called out to her. “Mom… Mom… Wake up, it’s noon.” πΌπ―ππ₯οΌππ¨πΊ
“Emm…” Zhu Yuhe felt her daughter pat her and kept calling her, she slowly started to open her eyes, she then turned to her daughter who was sitting on the side of her bed, and asked. “Honglian? Why did you wake me up? I’m so tired.”
Zhu Honglian didn’t answer right away, she just observed her mother. She felt that Zhu Yuhe seemed to have changed a lot, her aura was getting stronger, her face also looked brighter and more youthful, besides that her skin also felt smoother than before. All these changes made Zhu Honglian very suspicious of her mother, and she was lost in her own thoughts.
Seeing Zhu Honglian who seemed to be observing her made Zhu Yuhe’s heart skip a beat, she knew that her daughter was very intelligent, and she realized that Zhu Honglian was suspicious of her. “Why are you silent, Honglian?”
Her question woke Zhu Honglian from her thoughts, she then asked Zhu Yuhe suspiciously with a serious expression. “Is there something you want to tell me, Mom?”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Zhu Yuhe tried to calm her pounding heart.
Zhu Honglian’s expression turned somber upon hearing her mother. “Why don’t you tell me the truth, Mom? Your body has changed a lot, you look brighter and younger than before. And-” She stopped talking and thought about her next words, as she too was afraid of hurting her mother’s feelings with her suspicions.
“And what?” Zhu Yuhe looked at Zhu Honglian with a baffled expression.
Zhu Honglian then took a deep breath, and she continued. “And why do I smell Xia Tian’s scent so strong on your body?”
Zhu Yuhe immediately froze at her question, Zhu Yuhe already knew that her daughter was suspicious of her. It seemed like she couldn’t avoid her question anymore, Zhu Yuhe then thought of what excuse she should tell her daughter.
“Indeed last night mother was with Xia Tian, ??but we didn’t go alone. Mom, Ning’er, Ying’er, and Little Qi went with him to the western forest, and we cultivated there until dawn.” Zhu Yuhe felt that she was not lying to her daughter, because there were five of them, and they were indeed cultivating, dual cultivating to be exact.
Zhu Honglian narrowed her eyes at her mother who was still suspicious. “Is it really just like that?”
Zhu Honglian already knew that Xia Tian’s spiritual roots had now recovered, so it was only natural for him to cultivate, but what puzzled her was why Xia Tian was cultivating together with her mother.
Zhu Yuhe then pulled her daughter into her arms, and gently stroked her hair. “Didn’t Mom take you there before? That place is indeed the most suitable place for cultivation, so we all went together to cultivate there.”
“Okay. I won’t ask again.” Zhu Honglian said with a nod, she immediately got up and left his mother’s room, even though she said that, but her heart was still filled with suspicion, and she still couldn’t accept her mother’s explanation.
“Your daughter’s senses are very sharp, Yuhe. You can’t keep lying to her.” Zhou Xuan suddenly said with a chuckle, as she appeared before her, but she then felt a change in energy in Zhu Yuhe’s body, and it shocked her. “Your cultivation broke through again, Yuhe?”
“I broke through one small stage last night, Sister Xuan.” Zhu Yuhe then told Zhou Xuan about last night, how she broke through as well as Xia Ning, Liu Ying, and Mo Xiaoqi.
Zhou Xuan gawked at that, and she inwardly sighed, because she still didn’t dare to make up her mind about her future.
Zhu Yuhe then got up from her bed, and she looked at Zhou Xuan. “Why do you continue to be indecisive, Sister Xuan? Trust me, you won’t regret it if you decide to accept Tian, ??and you should decide your future as soon as possible, because time won’t wait for us, Sister Xuan.”
Zhou Xuan fell silent, she had witnessed and heard many things about Xia Tian, ??and she felt that he was indeed the most suitable man for her, but she still had a hard time accepting him.

Xia Manor – Dining Hall
Ever since they sat together in the dining room, Xia Ling’s eyes never left his daughter, and he seemed to be seriously observing his daughter.
Moreover, every day she looked younger and more cheerful, her face even looked no less beautiful than Xia Xing who was much younger than her. In addition, her cultivation has also increased drastically, and she has now reached the 1st Stage of the Earth Origin Realm.
Xia Ling then asked suspiciously. “How did your cultivation increase so quickly, Ning’er? A few days ago you were still at the 9th Stage Soul Condensation Realm, but now you have reached the 1st Stage Earth Origin Realm.”
“Actually, I’m not the only one who’s improving fast, Father.” Xia Ning said with a smile.
Xia Ling raised his eyebrows, then he observed them one by one, and he was instantly dumbfounded. “How is this possible? All of you also broke through?”
Chen Xue and Xia Xing just kept quiet, as they already knew about Xia Tian and Xia Ning’s relationship, but Chen Xue became suspicious of Liu Ying, because she still didn’t know about her relationship with her son.
“En, actually this is also thanks to the pill from Tian, ??Father. Last night the four of us including Sister Yuhe cultivated in the western forest, and we broke through together.” Liu Ying replied calmly, moreover their cultivation had indeed broken through thanks to Xia Tian’s Golden Yang Pill.
Xia Tian looked very relaxed listening to their conversation, and he didn’t really think about Xia Ling knowing about their relationship, but then he found Chen Xue constantly glancing at him suspiciously, and he smiled mysteriously at her.
