Shu Jianyue smiled and gestured with her chin towards the little white tiger, "Hmm, I traded it for the secret of his evolution."

Chong Jiu nodded, "Alright, I'll send a message to Hong Lang to find Bai Jue. As for Gong Funan, it'll be better if I go and talk to him."

"The Holy Spirit only needs someone to oversee things; if nothing major happens, he doesn't need to show up."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Then let him bring Yi Dexi along. Neither Ziyu nor Liu Juefeng are cut out for this. We should make use of any talented people we can find."

"Okay." Chong Jiu then went to Donglai Peak.

Shu Jianyue then sent a message to Ziyu and Liu Juefeng to inform them of this matter.

He then sent a telepathic message to Yu Chuan and Yan Xi to come back, saying that given the current situation, the sooner they broke through, the better.

Who knows when the investigators sent from above will arrive? If we happen to run into them, then we're in trouble.

No one knows what Chong Jiu said to Gong Funan, but in less than an hour, Gong Funan packed up and prepared to leave.

As the palace master, Shu Jianyue had to come and offer a gift, so she gave him a bag of spiritual fruits, saying, "This is enough for a year, so you won't say that I'm exploiting you."

Gong Funan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately accepted it with delight, "Then thank you very much, Madam."

Looking at his expression, Shu Jianyue felt as if he had gotten a great deal. She smiled and accepted the spiritual fruit before hiding in the Right Yin Hall.

After Gong Funan left, Chong Jiu told her that he had already given Gong Funan a year's worth of spiritual fruits, so any more she gave him would be a waste.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Although she didn't mind giving away too many spirit fruits, it wasn't a good thing to make people think she was foolish and rich.

Chong Jiu coughed lightly and said, "You took the things too fast, I didn't have time to say anything."

Shu Jianyue glared at him. If he wanted to say it, he could say it no matter how fast she was.

"Master, Yi Dexi's daughter is insisting on going along. Why don't you go and see her?" Sky Man's voice arrived before Sky Man did.

Shu Jianyue frowned. "Then let's go take a look."

When the group arrived at Beihe Peak, they saw Yi Qiushi with red eyes clinging to Yi Dexi, trying to stop him from leaving.

“When autumn comes, your father will only go for a short while. You will be able to go with the master and the others soon. Be good, let go quickly, don’t hurt your hand.” Yi Dexi’s voice was gentle.

Yi Qiushi shook her head vigorously, "No, I want to go with Father."

Without her father, who knows if the Palace Master will forget her? If he really does forget her, then she'll have to stay here forever, and she doesn't want that.

Yi Qiushi's eyes were red, yet they gleamed with an inexplicable light as she looked at Shu Jianyue with wariness.

Shu Jianyue frowned as she looked at him. "Like father, like son," she thought, "he has quite a lot of ideas at such a young age."

"I'll give you two choices: either stay in the Four Seas, or I'll send you back to the Ten Domains Immortal Kingdom."

"Master?" Yi Dexi took it seriously and was genuinely afraid that she would send her daughter away.

Shu Jianyue glanced at him coldly, then looked at Yi Qiushi, "You choose for yourself."

Knowing that Yi Zuoxi would definitely be reluctant to part with her, Yi Qiushi immediately started to whine, "I don't want to, I want to stay with Father, I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay with Father."

"The Palace Master is wicked..."

“In autumn…” Yi Dexi exclaimed.

Yi Qiushi stared at him wide-eyed, tears streaming down her face like water dripping from a spring. "Father, you're being mean to me."

Yi De immediately panicked, "No, Father didn't mean it, Qiu Shi, be good, don't cry."

Shu Jianyue finally understood where this child's spoiled habit came from. "Chaotian, arrange for someone to send Yi Qiushi to the Ten Domains Fengxian Kingdom."

"Yes." Chao Tian agreed and went to make the arrangements.

"No, Father, I don't want to go to the Ten Realms. I'll be a good boy and not go anywhere. Don't send me to the Ten Realms, I'm scared." She looked so pitiful, like a little white lotus bud.

Shu Jianyue looked at Yi Dexi and said, "You really only care about raising her but not about disciplining her. You've raised her to be such a spoiled person."

Yi Dexi blushed and said somewhat awkwardly, "I have no experience in taking care of children, so please help me to correct her temperament."

"I'm reluctant to use drastic measures, so please help me, Master."

Shu Jianyue glanced at Yi Qiushi, who was glaring at her fiercely, and narrowed her eyes. "Heh, that's simple. Just throw her into the mountains to train her up."

"Since you're handing her over to me, you're not allowed to say anything bad, or you'll be kicked out of the Supreme Temple with her."

If we can't turn things around, then it's like a rat dropping in a seafood porridge.

Yi Dexi also saw Yi Qiushi's eyes and knew that if this child wasn't corrected, he would be ruined. "Yes, I will not interfere."

Yi Qiushi was no longer a child, so he naturally understood what they were saying. He originally thought that his father would be reluctant to let him suffer, but he didn't expect him to agree so easily.

She knew she wasn't her father's biological daughter, but rather someone he had adopted, yet he had always been very kind and loving towards her.

So she always regarded him as her biological father.

But why doesn't he care about her now?

"Father?"

Yi Dexi squatted down and looked at her, saying, "Qiushi, your father knows you're not little anymore and have many of your own ideas."

“Your father never stopped you from thinking too much before, because he felt that it meant you were intelligent. But it’s wrong to keep your mind on things that shouldn’t be on your mind.”

"Father has never raised children, so he doesn't know how to teach you to understand principles, but Master has two children, and both young masters are very good-looking, so following her will definitely not be a mistake."

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. She hadn't taught Yu Chuan and Yan Xi much; they had both grown up relying on their natural talents and bloodlines.

Looking into Shu Jianyue's eyes, which held no smile, Yi Qiushi realized he was truly crying this time, but he had no choice but to compromise.

After Yi Dexi and Gong Funan left, Shu Jianyue left Yi Qiushi in the sky, letting him train with her and the spirit beasts.

Then, around dusk, I would start teaching her the Four Books and Five Classics, life philosophies, and so on, stuffing everything into her head so she wouldn't have time to think about those messy calculations.

Just two days later, Yu Chuan and Yun Zhongtian returned.

As soon as Yu Chuan returned to the Supreme God Palace, he rushed to the Floating Immortal Palace. "Mother, why did you call us back in such a hurry?"

Shu Jianyue glared at him. "What? Can't I call you back if there's nothing wrong? Isn't a month of playing outside enough?"

Yu Chuan didn't seem to care at all. "A month isn't enough. We haven't even been to many places yet."

A vein seemed to throb on Shu Jianyue's forehead. "I should have let you out to roam freely from a young age, and then brought you back when you'd had enough of being wild."

Before Yu Chuan could retort, Shu Jianyue continued, "I'll give you six months to suddenly undergo the tribulation period, otherwise you can stay in Sihai and we'll go to the Holy Spirit first."

Yu Chuan stood up abruptly. "Are we going to the Holy Spirit?"

Yun Zhongtian, Xie Yukong, and the others were also keeping a close eye on her.

Shu Jianyue glanced at Yu Chuan and said, "Didn't I say I'd give you six months? If you don't break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, then you can stay here and leave whenever you break through."
