“But sister, the things that require a man to handle things and put up a good show are things that I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone in the Pill Sect. What I’m thinking is to take you and Feng Xiao to the Hidden Sect so that our family can be together. That would be better,” Ji Fengming said matter-of-factly.

These words stung Shang Xiye even more.

So after all this, he and they aren't even family?

"What did Black Owl say?" Shang Xiye, who was full of frustration, unusually took Black Owl as the target of his criticism.

Black Owl: "..."

You all say what you want, why are you dragging me into this? I'm just an innocent bystander getting shot.

“Xiao Chen…” Ji Fengming choked, staring at Shang Xiye with wide eyes.

His forehead clearly read, "Dog, you've changed. You used to be so good to Xiao Chen and took such good care of him."

Ji Fengyao bit her cherry-red lips, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them, her expression exactly like that of a bystander watching a melodrama.

"Xiao Chen is my brother," Ji Fengming said after a long pause. Suddenly, he hooked his elbow around Hei Xiao, who was silently drinking tea with his head down, and said smugly, "Haven't you heard? Brothers are like limbs. These are limbs, so of course I have to take them with me wherever I go. I can't have them missing their limbs, right? My brother-in-law is different. He's like clothes. Changing them makes life more beautiful!"

Shang Xiye: "..."

This brother-in-law is no longer a good match.

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Is he my biological brother? Don't hurt me!

"Brothers are like limbs, right? Very well." Shang Xiye stared at Ji Fengming and smiled coldly, reminding him, "Hei Xiao and I are childhood friends who have shared life and death. His brotherly bond with me is much deeper than with you. Before you appeared, he also grew up in my mansion, so he is also considered a member of my household. According to what you're saying, I will have to take him with me wherever I go in the future, lest I lose a hand or a foot."

As for you, you were merely a bridegroom. Now that Yao Yao has been with me for some time, go back to where you came from.

Ji Fengming: "!!!"

I was completely dumbfounded!

But I have to admit, what he said makes a lot of sense; he really is just someone who's there to help someone get married!

Throughout history, no brother-in-law has ever lived in his sister's husband's house year after year.

More importantly, Xiao Chen is a member of his Ninth Prince's mansion, that is absolutely true!

Before Ji Fengming could recover, Shang Xiye, suppressing a laugh, turned to Ji Fengyao and said, "Yaoyao, when the Danling Continent was at peace, our Dan Sect and Yin Sect were already transcendent beings. Now that the situation on the Danling Continent is unclear, you should just let Jiang Dailu and the others deal with those who come to offer their congratulations. You only need to show your face when necessary, and you don't need to take the socializing too seriously."

Before I leave, I'll make arrangements with those powerful demons and send a few obedient ones to live on Flying Kite Peak. Normally, keep all the defensive formations on the main peak activated. If you need to go out on important matters, have them accompany you at all times, and try not to let them be alone, okay?

“I know, Your Highness. I won’t let anyone take advantage of me and put myself in danger. You can go to the Hidden Sect with peace of mind and bring Fenghua back as soon as possible.” Ji Fengyao nodded and handed another storage stone to Shang Xiye, saying, “I have divided all the medicinal herbs I have into three portions, and they are all in this storage stone space. Your Highness, please take this with you. You can find some more to make up for the missing ones at the Pill Sect later. Maybe we can use them.”

"Okay," Shang Xiye said without ceremony, accepting the gift stone. His trip to the Hidden Sect was now settled.

Ji Fengming finally recovered and seized the opportunity to interject, forcing a smile.
