Upon receiving the message, Meng Tianyuan rubbed his temples, but still got up to have a heart-to-heart talk with his apprentice.

Although he wasn't the kind of master who paid meticulous attention to his apprentices, he could still see through some things.

Therefore, after Bai Luochen's foundation was solidified, he still allowed Bai Luochen to go out and play alone. Too much protection would make people feel uncomfortable, let alone someone as free-spirited as Bai Luochen.

A lot has happened to them, and everyone has changed a lot. Even Ye Sisi, the youngest, is much more mature and composed than when she first joined the group.

But it's different for Bai Luochen. Deep down, he's still that teenage boy. The absence of more than ten years is like taking a few naps and then waking up again. He's definitely not used to the present.

Especially since everyone is taking such good care of him, some problems are bound to arise.

But it seems like no one is at fault. Ye Sisi and the others didn't want him to get into any more trouble, so they were keeping a close watch on him, even to the point of being overly suspicious.

Bai Luochen's feelings were perhaps even more complicated. He couldn't put himself in the shoes of the person in question. If it were him, he would also feel inexplicably sad. But what could he do? It was the first time anyone had experienced something like this. Being a master was really difficult.

Meng Tianyuan sighed. Bai Cao, being a woman, was more sensitive and understood Bai Luochen's feelings better.

Perhaps if you think about it from Bai Luochen's perspective, he would also feel very uncomfortable. He would feel that everyone treats him like a child who needs protection. To put it bluntly, he would feel like a burden, even though his strength has already reached the Fusion stage.

Yet he was a spirited young man who dared to venture into the Demon Realm while still in the Foundation Establishment stage, dared to forcibly break through to share the Heavenly Tribulation for Ye Shubai, dared to infiltrate the evil cultivators' territory alone when the Seven Kill Alliance attacked the Cangyin Continent, dared to provoke the Heavenly Dao, and was even willing to die without hesitation.

Would he be happy to protect such a young man? Perhaps he would. He could feel the care that his master, uncles, brothers, sisters and junior sisters had for him, and he could even feel guilty. But in that situation, if someone else were in his position, they wouldn't hesitate at all. So he didn't feel that he had sacrificed anything. It was just a life, and he had already gotten it back, and his cultivation had greatly increased.

Bai Luochen himself wasn't quite sure what he was angry about; he just felt a tightness in his chest, so he locked himself in his room to give himself a full-body massage.

Feeling much better after his body relaxed, he got up and rubbed his face. He was still going to the Spirit Pearl Secret Realm. He needed to improve his strength as soon as possible, and he also needed to give away the gifts he had bought. Besides, he wasn't a child anymore, so there was no need to throw a tantrum.

The gift for the head of the Tibetan tribe will be temporarily postponed. His words are infuriating, and he's not going to put up with it.

The person hiding their head was also very frustrated. She had apologized all the way, but this guy was determined to ignore her, so she could only lie on the threshold of Bai Luochen's courtyard as a door god.

Upon seeing Meng Tianyuan arrive, Zangtou immediately stood up straight like a child who had made a mistake; of course, this was just a clone.

She knew that what happened today was her fault, that she shouldn't have been able to control her mouth, so she accepted the scolding.

No, no, I must change this habit. Even a boy with a good temper like Bai Luochen got quite angry. In the future, she not only needs to transform into human form, but also needs to learn more about how to be a good person. Otherwise, she will always cause trouble. Even if her father doesn't dislike her, she will dislike herself.

Surprisingly, Meng Tianyuan did not blame Zangtou, but instead sat down on the threshold of the courtyard.

He didn't know how to start the conversation, so he decided to wait and see.

This startled the head of the spies. She had never seen her powerful master act like this before. She felt increasingly guilty for her loose tongue and going too far, which made her even more uneasy.

Ye Sisi was naturally unaware of these things; she was still asleep, and in a more comfortable state than ever before. Even if he knew, he would probably have mixed feelings.

Ever since that tiny bit of core essence merged into her body, she couldn't help feeling sleepy, but she could clearly feel her strength increasing.

Her cultivation level, spiritual power, and physical fitness were all growing at an incredible speed, and she even had the illusion that she was about to break through the tribulation.

What she didn't notice was that in her dantian, Wuhen, which had already changed due to absorbing the power of the stars, became even more dazzling.

But Wuhen was also unaware at this moment, because he had also fallen into a coma, not the kind of coma caused by overexertion, but the kind of deep sleep that comes with advancing to the next level.

Moreover, on Ye Sisi's forehead, the phantom of a small white-gold sword became increasingly solid. Although its specific shape and patterns were still unclear, the aura it emitted was already quite frightening.

Ye Sisi had been thinking of taking this opportunity to sleep forever, but suddenly she found herself in a space she knew all too well.

The layout of the space was exactly the same as her courtyard in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, except that there was an additional woman in white with white hair and eyes like glass, who was none other than Wuyou, one of the seven innate gods of the Outer Heaven.

Ye Sisi was speechless. She finally managed to take a break and get some sleep, but then she inexplicably ended up here again. Sigh, it seems she really is destined to be a workaholic; it's hard for her to even get a rest.

However, she was much calmer when she saw Wuyou again. Compared to her previous confusion, she was much more confident now. At least she was no longer clueless and couldn't even understand some of what the other person was saying.

So she walked over and sat down opposite Wuyou without any hesitation, and even greeted her with a smile, since they were neighbors after all.

Wuyou remained expressionless, her face, which was identical to Ye Sisi's, revealing neither joy nor anger. Ye Sisi still couldn't figure out this guy's personality, and of course, she didn't want to.

"What brings you to see me this time? It can't just be to leave me here to stare at each other, can it?"

Wuyou paused for a moment before saying, "When the other part of the Nine-Leaf Lotus of Purification returns, I will instinctively devour this part of your soul. After all, you know my current situation; neither my physical body nor my soul is complete, so I won't be able to control myself then."

Ye Sisi...

Is this some kind of unreasonable nonsense? It means that even after all her efforts, she'll still disappear. What's the point of going to the Nine Netherworld then? Just let it go. If she disappears, she still won't be able to go home, will she?

Admittedly, at this moment, her mentality collapsed, shattered into pieces.
