With the Feng family's internal problems resolved, Youyou decided to also take care of some 'legacy' issues.

"Go back?" Nie Zheng, who was still carrying a large stack of textbooks, was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react, and asked reflexively, "Go back to where?"

"Of course, we're going back to the Immortal Realm!" You glanced at him. You haven't forgotten that you're still an immortal, have you? "Didn't you say last time that when we were fighting Qiu Yue, your magic artifact for finding traitors reacted, and that you had confirmed that Qiu Yue was the Jingchen Immortal you were looking for? Now that the problem is solved, shouldn't you go back to report?"

"Oh..." Nie Zheng was stunned. He had been busy with classes these past few days and had almost forgotten about it. He hadn't expected it to be resolved so quickly, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "But... Sect Master, didn't you say that the Mirror of Enlightenment was destroyed? Without the divine artifact, I'm afraid that the Emperor..."

“You don’t need to worry about that!” Youyou picked up the storage bag beside her, stood up and poured it out, revealing seven or eight magical artifacts. She generously waved to him and said, “Come on, choose one.”

“This…this is…” Nie Zheng was shocked.

“Divine artifacts!” You You said matter-of-factly. “We picked them up casually after we finished fighting Qiu Yue that day. Although your Emperor’s mirror was broken, they are all divine artifacts. You can pick any one of these to take back and that should be enough to get by.”

"This...this..." Nie Zheng was even more shocked. This pile was actually full of divine artifacts. Were there really that many divine artifacts in the world? "Is...is it really possible?"

"Why not!" You You continued, "Consider it your salary for teaching the disciples these days!" Besides, he had indeed sent a lot of spirit stones and supplies back to the sect in previous years, and it would be impossible to calculate it all now. Let's just consider it an extra benefit for outstanding employees.

Thinking of something, she added, "Didn't you say that your so-called emperor always kept the Mind-Enlightening Mirror hidden away and never used it, which is why it was stolen? That proves he probably doesn't know how to use it at all. So, what difference does it make whether you take the mirror or some other divine artifact back with you?"

“Uh…” Nie Zheng’s lips twitched. No, although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still feel like you’re looking down on the Emperor for not recognizing the value of things.

"Actually, we're quite reluctant to part with you too." Youyou patted his shoulder, coughed, and said earnestly, "If you have time, you can come down and visit us often. Oh, by the way, if it's not too much trouble, could you help me find out some information about the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana when you go back? Your Immortal Realm should know more about the God Clan, right?" The entire Phoenix Clan is still in the Sacred Tree Space. Since she promised Little Turkey she would help, she naturally needs to do her homework, and the Immortal Realm definitely has more information than the Mortal Realm.

"..." Nie Zheng's lips twitched. He felt that this was why the sect leader had sent him back.

"By the way, you don't need to worry about the boundary-breaking lightning," Youyou continued. "Fengrong will help you open a passage back to the Immortal Realm and won't let you get struck by lightning again." After saying that, she glanced at someone next to her.

Feng Rong picked up the tea on the table and stood up. Perhaps feeling it was a bit cold, she specially summoned a ball of flame to warm it before handing it to You You, then looked at Nie Zheng. She raised her hand, forming a complex hand seal, and slashed it through the air, instantly tearing open a sliver of space. Unlike inside the Earth-Shaking Cauldron, this lightning bolt before her flashed, carrying an undeniable pressure. A passage, just wide enough for one person, was cleaved open by the flame, with wisps of white immortal energy seeping out from within.

"Alright!" Feng Rong turned to look at Nie Zheng, thought for a moment, and then summoned a red lotus the size of her palm. She frowned and reluctantly tossed it over, saying, "Here, take this red lotus with you. Even if you are in the Immortal Realm, you can contact us at any time."

Nie Zheng immediately caught it. He wasn't sure if it was too hot to handle, so he switched it back and forth several times before finally wrapping it in his immortal energy to hold it securely.

"Alright, you can go now!" Feng Rong picked up a divine artifact and handed it to him, urging him on.

Nie Zheng glanced at the red lotus and the divine artifact in his hand, then at the interdimensional passage before him, and inexplicably felt a reluctance to return. However, he was, after all, an immortal, no longer belonging to the mortal realm, and it was indeed time for him to return and report on his mission.

He took a deep breath, put away the red lotus and the divine artifact, turned around and solemnly bowed to You You and Feng Rong, "Thank you for your help, Heavenly Maiden and Divine Lord. I will be forever grateful." He then bowed to the others in the hall, took another deep breath, and walked towards the passage.

"Nie Zheng!" Just as he was about to go in, Ning Hui rushed in from outside. He was running rather fast, as if he had rushed over in a hurry, and was still panting heavily. He glanced at the passageway in the hall, paused for a moment, and then remembered to bow to You You, "Greetings, Sect Master. I heard that Nie Zheng is going back?!"

“That’s right…” You Yougang nodded.

"Brother Ning!" Nie Zheng's expression changed instantly. He turned around and walked over, transforming from the serious and dignified immortal into a nagging old auntie. With teary eyes, he patted Ning Hui's shoulder and started nagging.

"You still came to see me off! Your brother is leaving... I won't be by your side anymore, so please take good care of yourself! If you have any questions about cultivation, ask Master Qiu; if you have any problems in your life, ask Elder Ling; if there's anything important, consult the sect leader. And also... you've always been diligent in your cultivation, but you can't be too hasty. Just follow the sect's pace, and don't rush things. Your brother will be waiting for you in heaven! You can do other things during your seclusion. Didn't you say last time that the new junior sister in the sect is very cute? If you like her, go and propose marriage. Your brother won't object to you finding a sister-in-law. I know you prefer your senior sister. Sigh! Miss Shuiyan is nice, but look at what happened to Brother Wei Bi? Your brother doesn't want you to suffer like that. The junior sister is fine."

Nie Zheng couldn't stop thinking about it. Ning Hui went from being anxious, moved, and stunned at the beginning, to feeling that something was wrong, and finally her face turned completely black and she couldn't bear it anymore... all in just a few words from him.

"Oh, right... since we're going to propose marriage, we definitely need to prepare some cultivation techniques, like dual cultivation. I've already asked Brother Qiu Zhang to help me find some; I'm sure he'll have news soon. You should learn these things in advance, otherwise what if your future wife isn't satisfied? I..."

"roll!"

Ning Hui couldn't hold back any longer and kicked someone inside.

Youyou: "..."

Feng Rong: "..."

Everyone: "..."

It seems I've found out something incredible.
