The subtle exchange between the two was immediately obvious to Gu Yanjin and the other four. They didn't say anything, but simply raised their eyebrows and stared at Fang Ruotang meaningfully.

It was only at times like these that Fang Ruotang truly realized that they shared the same roots and lineage.

Despite their different appearances, the way they looked at each other with a playful gaze, and the way their lips were slightly upturned as if they were about to laugh, were exactly the same, as if they were brothers who had grown up together.

They share some similarities in temperament.

Fortunately, such scenes were already commonplace for Fang Ruotang. She shamelessly glared back at them one by one, not knowing why the men suddenly changed their expressions and burst into bright smiles.

Fang Ruotang bared her teeth at them, then shook her head and left a comment.

"I'm going to check on my sister and the others."

Having said that, without giving them a reply, he summoned the Jinghong Sword with lightning speed, leaped onto it, and flew away.

Cui Shixu chuckled, "You scared her."

"You make it sound like you didn't think about it," Ye Wuxia retorted lightly.

Cui Shixu smiled, looking at Ye Wuxia with a meaningful expression.

"Time flies, it's been over a year since I came to the Cloud Deep Continent."

Ye Wuxia: ...

Tsk!

Although he would no longer have special privileges, Ye Wuxia was not afraid. He was the chosen one, otherwise, how could he have risen from a humble farmer's son to a high position in just a few years?

He has always been lucky.

The six men had worked together many times, but whenever Fang Ruotang was involved, they could never remain calm and would part on bad terms after only a few words. After all, no one would be foolish enough to pretend to be magnanimous in such matters.

After Fang Ruotang ran away on the Jinghong Sword, she looked back and, seeing that no one was chasing her, patted her chest and let out a big breath.

"Men who compete for favor are truly terrifying."

As she flew over the training ground, she saw a group of disciples practicing sword flight, falling and sprawling in all directions. Just as she was about to smile, she spotted a familiar figure.

She swooped down to the training ground and then jumped off.

"grandmother."

"Hey! Xiao Liu, you're back!"

Ying Qiuyi had just been thrown to the ground and was still lying on her stomach when she was suddenly pulled up by the arm. When she looked up, she saw that it was her sixth granddaughter, who was so busy that her heels barely touched the ground.

She immediately burst into laughter.

"Is Grandma alright? Did she hurt herself?"

"I'm fine!"

As soon as Ying Qiuyi responded, her grandfather and aunt immediately surrounded her.

"Little Six is ​​back. Did your trip go smoothly this time? Did you encounter any danger?"

"No! No! Everything is fine."

Fang Ruotang answered the two with a smile, then asked with some surprise, "Why are you learning to fly on swords?"

After all, the three of them were not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage, and their spiritual power was simply insufficient to support them in flying on swords.

Grandfather's eyes flickered unnaturally.

"We're just here to have some fun."

The three of them were all Fang Ruotang's relatives. Seeing people flying on swords in the training ground, they couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

The disciples who are teaching will certainly not be so tactless as to drive them away.

They didn't disrupt the teaching; the three of them followed at the very back, several steps behind the disciples who were seriously studying! Otherwise, Fang Ruotang wouldn't have been able to spot them at a glance.

Fang Ruotang was both amused and exasperated, and she guessed what they were thinking.

He summoned Bai Ze.

He patted his head and said, "These are my grandparents and aunt. Why don't you take us for a spin in the air?"

Bai Ze lay down with a resentful look in his eyes. Fang Ruotang flew into the air and landed on Bai Ze's body. She patted the white fur under her again, and then used her spiritual power to gently bring the other three up.

Worried that they might be unaccustomed to or afraid of flying for the first time, Fang Ruotang's spiritual power acted like a whip, binding them.

Fang Ruotang only let go after Bai Ze flew into the air and they got used to it.

The three of them were like children, somewhat panicked, but mostly excited, and couldn't help but spread out one hand, wanting to feel the wind.

"So this is what it feels like to fly in the air."

"Hmm! I'll show you what it's like to fly on a sword later! But it's not as comfortable as sitting on Bai Ze."

Bai Ze perked up immediately when he heard Fang Ruotang praise him.

Acrobatic performance, acceleration, dive, descent.

The three people who were flying for the first time were so frightened that they screamed incessantly.

Fang Ruotang tugged at the white hair, and only then did he calm down.

When they came down, Ying Qiuyi and the other two dared not fly on their swords again.

"Let's talk about that when we have the corresponding strength!"

"Yes! This feeling of not being able to control things is terrifying."

The grandparents refused one after another, and the aunt also waved her hand repeatedly.

Fang Ruotang didn't insist. She just glared at Bai Ze a few times and let him go off on his own. But he didn't leave and lazily followed Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang ignored Bai Ze, who was curled up at her feet.

The grandfather was curious and wanted to touch it, but before he could, Bai Ze opened his eyes and looked at his grandfather coldly, freezing him in place with just one look.

The strength of a demon emperor is not something a mere cultivator who has just begun to refine qi can withstand.

Seeing it acting up, Fang Ruotang gently kicked it and scolded in a low voice, "Stop fooling around, or I'll slap you if you dare to scare my grandfather again!"

Bai Ze glanced at Grandfather Fang with disdain.

Grandfather Fang was a man of principle, and now he wouldn't even touch it when asked.

What's so great about it?

At worst, he can raise a pet animal himself in the future.

Grandfather Fang put his hands behind his back and thought to himself.

"By the way, you've come back at just the right time. Your third sister is about to give birth, would you like to go and see her?"

Fang Ruotang slapped her forehead, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "I almost forgot about this. Come on, let's go see Third Sister."

She genuinely doesn't remember the day her third sister was about to give birth.

It seems like only yesterday I heard she was pregnant, but now it's almost been ten months, and she's about to become a sixth aunt.

When did Grandfather arrive?

Fang Ruotang playfully hugged her grandfather's arm, absolutely refusing to admit that she was embarrassed.

Grandfather Fang didn't feel neglected at all. He knew that his sixth granddaughter was destined for great things, and since he couldn't help her, he was just happy to not hold her back.

"After my son-in-law Cui returned last time, I resigned from my post with the Empress. I just finished settling all the affairs of the court and my family a few days ago. Since your third sister is about to give birth, the whole family came."

"Oh, are Father and Mother here too?"

"Yes! They're probably all with your third sister right now."

"Why didn't anyone tell me?!"

Fang Ruotang pouted, looking a little upset.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have been back much sooner."

“It’s nothing serious. We won’t be in danger staying in the secret realm. Once you’re done with your business, you’ll definitely be heading back to the secret realm as soon as possible, and then you’ll see us.”

"That's different. It's so easy for me to go back to the secret realm! If I had known it would be three days earlier, I could have seen you sooner!" Fang Ruotang automatically switched back to her little girl form as she returned to her family.
