She glanced at Yan Lin beside Dongfang Mian and asked uncertainly, "Is this the son-in-law?"

"He's much uglier than the previous son-in-law. He also seems to have a bad temper. He's not good enough for my young lady," the servant thought to himself.

"Son-in-law? Me? What are you dreaming about?" Yan Lin glanced at A Ju and himself, and figured that the son-in-law the servant was talking about must be him.

"Miss, who is this?" the servant asked, looking completely bewildered.

"It's alright, this is my junior brother, he's just joking with you. You go ahead and do your work, we'll go in ourselves," Dongfang Mian said.

After the servant left, Yan Lin angrily asked, "You woman, explain to me right now what you did to me!"

Dongfang Mian ignored him completely, her mind preoccupied with her maternal grandfather and uncle.

"Rin-sama, don't be angry. You shouldn't ask so many questions," Aju advised.

"Alright, I knew you two were hiding something from me. Are you plotting something with those three old men from the Qi family?" Yan Lin said with an expression that said, "I see right through you."

"Let me tell you, cooperate well with me to recover your strength, and I will reward you accordingly. As for other things, especially my body, you'd better not covet them."

Aju covered her eyes with her helpless little paws. Well, I hope you won't regret it later.

When Dongfang Mian arrived at the inner hall, she ran into the servant who had come in to report earlier, and learned that the Dongfang family head had taken Dongfang Yuanyan to the White Tiger Continent.

Upon seeing Dongfang Mian return, several elders of the Dongfang family hurriedly came out to greet her and explain.

It turns out that ever since Yan Lin eliminated the founding ancestor of the Tianwu Dynasty in the battle before he left, the Dongfang family has been unparalleled in its prominence, and even the Tianwu and Luoqing dynasties have submitted to them.

In recent years, the head of the Dongfang family and Dongfang Yuanyan have been focusing on cultivation. Not long ago, they both broke through to the Spirit Venerable Realm, which made the Dongfang family's position even more secure.

The reason for this trip to the White Tiger Continent is that the sacred flower that blooms only once every hundred years is said to be blooming in three months, and the major dynasties and families of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise continents have all been invited to go and admire it.

A few days ago, the head of the Dongfang family also took Dongfang Yuanyan and some elite disciples of the Dongfang family to the White Tiger Continent, intending to let them experience the White Tiger Continent.

Dongfang Mian, who was initially overjoyed, felt a moment of sadness, but she quickly cheered up again. Upon learning that her maternal grandfather and uncle were not only unharmed but had also made great progress in their cultivation, Dongfang Mian finally felt relieved.

After finding out where they were going, Dongfang Mian couldn't help but sigh. What a coincidence! It turned out that the place the Dongfang family head was going to was the very place Feng Qianxun had asked her to go.

And coincidentally, it also happened to coincide with the once-in-a-century sacred flower of the White Tiger Continent. Could there be any connection between them?

After leaving the Eastern Family, they originally planned to go directly to the White Tiger Continent, but after thinking about it, they took Yan Lin and A Ju back to the Vermilion Bird Academy first.

Anyway, there are still three months left. Since it's a rare opportunity to come back, Dongfang Mian is determined to take a good look at the place where she used to live and study. After all, who knows when she will be able to come back again.

Walking through the Vermilion Bird Academy, all the people coming and going are fresh faces.

Arriving at the still dilapidated Qingmu Beast Academy, Dongfang Mian was filled with emotion. When she first joined the Qingmu Beast Academy, she never dreamed that she would achieve what she has today.

Just as Dongfang Mian was feeling sentimental, a familiar figure appeared, looking at Dongfang Mian in disbelief and asking, "Is that... Dongfang classmate?"

"Dean!" Dongfang Mian said happily. The person who came was Dong Ren, the dean of Qingmu Beast Academy.
