The Spirit Marrow Insect also said, "It's also possible that when the Cloud Ripple Realm was still at the Heavenly level, the Heavenly Dao at that time might have foreseen what would happen later and might have done something drastic."

The Ice Demon Dragon Lion lay lazily on the ground licking its paws, its tail swaying casually as it teased its fluttering cubs.

"Actually, there's no need to get stuck on this problem now. Since we already have a few directions, why not verify them first? Perhaps we can find the answer to what we want to know in them."

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded, "I second that. Let's investigate the source of the poison first, then explore Cloud Mist Island. I also think this place is very likely the key to communication between the two worlds."

As she spoke, she used her tail to curl the little green fox that was playing and climbing on her body down and handed it to Yun Zhiyi.

"Take Xiaoqing out with you. It has a keen sense of smell and might be helpful in finding the source of the poison."

As it spoke, the tip of its tail emitted a pale golden light, enveloping the sky-blue fox.

Soon, the little fox turned into an ordinary-looking, soft and cute little white fox.

Yun Zhiyi subconsciously looked at Qiuqiu, who was leaning against her leg.

Qiuqiu pursed her lips, about to speak.

Nine-Tailed Fox smiled and said, "If the passage between the two worlds opens sooner, the little tiger cub can also leave sooner."

Her plan was exposed, and Yun Zhiyi looked at her helplessly.

A smile appeared on Qiuqiuhu's face, his golden eyes filled with laughter, and he gently nuzzled her leg.

"Master, take Little Gold out with you too. It flies fast and can gather information for you."

A golden, chubby, three-legged crow immediately came running over, tilting its head up and looking at Yun Zhiyi expectantly.

A soft, gentle voice echoed in her mind.

'Master, I can do it! I can fly very, very far!'

Yun Zhiyi chuckled.

She knew these little guys' abilities all too well; with their help, things would definitely be much easier.

I was just being considerate of Qiuqiu's feelings.

However, Nine-Tailed Fox is right. The sooner the problem is resolved, the sooner Ball Ball can be released.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed Qiuqiu's head, then nodded, "Okay."

She stayed in the space for a while longer before leaving to visit Fu'an and the others' courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a suppressed sobbing sound.

Turning my head, I saw Fu Wenyu sitting on the steps of the corridor next to me, hugging her knees and sobbing with her head buried in her knees.

Princess Fu'an and Fu Ziyu stood and sat on either side of her, both with expressions of helplessness and sympathy.

Upon seeing her approach, Fu Ziyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over.

"elder sister."

Yun Zhiyi placed her hand on his shoulder, looked at Princess Fu'an, and casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Fu'an sighed helplessly, glanced at Fu Wenyu who was still crying, coughed lightly, walked over to her, and whispered an explanation in her ear.

"His Highness Prince Cheng has instructed Xiao Qi to go to Qingshan to study starting tomorrow."

Yun Zhiyi suddenly realized, and her gaze towards the little princess became more sympathetic.

Fu Ziyu whispered, "My third uncle said I want to go too. He will teach us to read and practice martial arts."

Although the little guy was a bit nervous, his great-grandfather had taken him there a few days earlier to give him some basic training.

Once you get a general idea of ​​their personalities, as long as you listen to them, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So I'm not worried.

The main reason was that his aunt was crying so badly that he couldn't get nervous.

Yun Zhiyi found it amusing, thought for a moment, and said, "Shanbo has something to do and has left the manor today. He probably won't be here for the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ziyu's eyes lit up.

Great-grandfather isn't here? That's wonderful.

Compared to his great-grandfather, he felt that his third uncle was not very scary, just a bit serious.

Fu Wenyu was unfamiliar with the name Shanbo, so she didn't react and continued to cry sadly, as if she were going to die here tomorrow.

Fu Ziyu quickly ran over to comfort her.

“Auntie, since our great-grandfather is not here, as long as we listen to our third uncle and do our homework properly, we won’t be scolded.”

Fu Wenyu slowly raised her head, her face covered in tears, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

Sobbing, she asked, "Grandfather, Grandfather isn't here? How did you know?"

If it were just her relationship with her third brother, it wouldn't have driven her to such despair that she felt like she was about to be beheaded.

The main reason is that my grandfather lives there too.

The thought of having to face not only her third brother's strict discipline but also her grandfather starting tomorrow made her feel hopeless.

“My sister said that my great-grandfather is busy and has to leave for a few days.”

Fu Wenyu looked at Yun Zhiyi with teary eyes, still smoking.

Suddenly, she said, "Sister Yun, could you... could you also let my third brother go on a business trip?"

Yun Zhiyi was taken aback, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That girl is really clever; she even managed to come up with something like this.

She chuckled, "This is something we can't avoid anyway, so let's listen to Xiao Yu. As long as you finish your homework on time, you won't have to stay there all day."

Upon hearing this, Fu Wenyu's eyes widened even more, and he exclaimed excitedly.

"You want...you want...the whole day?"

Fu Ziyu spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all.

"If the homework assigned by Uncle Three is not finished, it must be left until it is completed."

Fu Wenyu's lips trembled a few times, but she couldn't hold back any longer. She closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and started crying again.

Princess Fu'an shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Forget it, don't worry about her. Are you busy later?"

Yun Zhiyi shook her head. "No, what's wrong?"

She has temporarily handed over all her work for the past two days, and normally, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she won't need to take action.

"It's nothing. If you're free, sit down and rest for a while. Don't overexert yourself."

Yun Zhiyi smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "How about we have another round of roasted meat tonight?"

This is to comfort the two children's young hearts.

After saying that, he turned to the two children and said, "If you can complete your homework perfectly every day, I can act as your go-between and try to get you a day off every three days. Then I'll take you to some fun places."

The two looked up at the same time, their eyes wide open.

Fu Ziyu was delighted and immediately raised his hand to guarantee, "I can do it."

Fu Wenyu couldn't blindly trust her yet, and hesitated before asking, "Is it okay?"

His third brother is really easy to persuade.

Although he had previously asked Yun Zhiyi to send his third brother out on a mission, it was just a casual remark.

Third Brother seems to be doing things for Yun Zhiyi now, but it's probably just to repay a debt of gratitude; he probably won't actually listen to everything she says.

Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "If you can do it, I can do it too."

Fu Wenyu's eyes darted around, "Then it will take two days."

Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, looking at the little princess who was taking an inch and then a mile, and crossed her arms with a half-smile, "Looks like you don't want a vacation."

Princess Fu wrinkled her nose, almost forgetting that the person in front of her was not one of the people she used to know who feared and indulged her.

She pouted, "Fine, one day it is then. So, when is my grandfather coming back?"

Yun Zhiyi shrugged. "I don't know about that. Okay, go wash up and change your clothes first. If there's anything you want to eat or drink tonight, I'll have the kitchen prepare it in advance."

Fu Wenyu said while wiping away her tears.

"I want a smoothie and ice cream!"
