...

After leading everyone away, Fairy Biyao did not linger on the sea, but returned directly to the Dragon Kingdom.

We've returned to... the Jade Pool Immortal Mountain!

After a long time, even Fairy Biyao felt a little emotional upon returning.

"It's been almost a year, hasn't it? Xiao Hao, isn't your birthday coming up soon?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Clearly, the recent busyness has made many people forget about this matter.

Wang Hao...

Yes, it seems his birthday is coming up soon.

Am I going to turn nineteen?

Shaking her head, Fairy Biyao didn't say anything more, but said calmly, "Everyone, we need to go into seclusion this time we've returned."

However, the people of Yaochi cannot all go into seclusion; some of them need to do things outside.

This is... a sacrifice.

This retreat will bring immense benefits, while those responsible for handling external affairs will lose these benefits.

I hope everyone understands.

Upon hearing this, Ninth Senior Sister Cheng Yi smiled and shook her head, "Master, we juniors are not strong enough to participate in the current war."

Rather than wasting the opportunity, we should do more to contribute to Yaochi.

"Master, it would be good if you could achieve even greater heights."

Zhao Ling'er, Qin Yao, and Tang Rui, who were standing nearby, all nodded slightly.

Jin Shiyu, Luo Hongyu, and Zhou Mi were slightly unwilling.

Seeing the three people's reactions, Fairy Biyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are eight spots in total this time. Fifth Sister isn't here, so Xiao Hao doesn't need this opportunity. He has a better one."

With the three of you included, it's just right.

This time, even Tang Rui, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what exactly is this opportunity?"

Fairy Biyao took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"It's a secret realm left behind by the Queen Mother of the West!"
