That evening, Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao led ten powerful demons of the fifth rank or above to the Hidden Sect.

Ji Fengyao and the remaining people stayed behind at the Pill Sect to prepare for the sect's opening celebration banquet three days later.

Everything here is proceeding in an orderly and methodical manner.

However, none of them expected that after Mi Tang'an brought Ji Fenghua back to the Hidden Sect, things would develop in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.

That day, Mi Tang'an brought Ji Fenghua to Mi Fenghui, the sect leader of the Hidden Sect, and immediately reported Ji Fenghua's identity and background.

Mi Fenghui also took this matter very seriously, and ordered his men to take Ji Fenghua to a secluded courtyard in the Hidden Sect and imprison her alone.

Although it was called imprisonment, it was really just putting demon-subduing shackles on Ji Fenghua and adding three layers of formations to seal off the courtyard. The furnishings and daily necessities in the courtyard were still intact, and the utensils and furniture were all of the best quality.

This also shows that, out of consideration for the Dan Sect, Mi Fenghui did not intend to mistreat Ji Fenghua.

Seeing Mi Fenghui's arrangement, Mi Tangan and Mi Wei knew that Mi Fenghui valued this matter, so they felt relieved and went back.

Mi Xi has learned her lesson this time.

After Mi Tang'an and Mi Wei left, she clung to Mi Feng and acted coquettishly, lying without thinking, "Daddy, don't believe them. They've all been bewitched by that little devil. Actually, that little devil is wicked!"

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Mi Fenghui was not swayed by Mi Xi's words. He simply carried her affectionately toward Mu Furong's living quarters, saying as they walked, "That Ji Fenghua only has the cultivation of Core Formation. Even if she uses all her magical arts, she cannot harm the Grand Elder in the slightest. Xi'er, although our Hidden Sect and the Demon Clan are irreconcilable enemies, in cases like Ji Fenghua's, we must leave her a chance to live. Cultivators should cultivate virtue as well as self-cultivation."

"Hmph, what self-cultivation and moral cultivation? Father has never said such things to me before. Father is just afraid of the Pill Sect." Mi Xi pouted and grumbled unhappily, clinging to Mi Fenghui's hand like a piece of chewing gum: "I don't care, anyway, Ji Fenghua has bullied Xi'er. Father can't not avenge Xi'er, otherwise Xi'er will not like Father or listen to Father in the future!"

Mi Fenghui devoted himself to spiritual practice for many years and rarely spent time with Mi Wei and Mi Xi.

Mi Wei was sensible from a young age and was polite and respectful in her dealings with others. Mi Fenghui never had to worry about her much and therefore didn't have any feelings for her.

But Mi Xi, this little clingy girl, would always seize any opportunity to act cute and make a fuss with him;

It was only at these moments that Mi Feng realized he was already a father.

Therefore, every time Mi Xi reminds him, his "fatherly responsibility" is "awakened," and this time is no exception.

“You, your father really can’t do anything with you.” As always, Mi Feng squatted down and listened attentively to Mi Xi’s grievances. “Come, tell your father how he bullied you. If he really did something wrong, you are the second young lady of the Hidden Sect, and your father’s daughter. Your father will seek justice from the Pill Sect for you and will not let you suffer any injustice.”

"Xi'er knew it, Daddy is the best!" Mi Xi hugged Mi Feng back and kissed him twice on the face with her little mouth. She said in a coquettish but very generous way, "Actually, there was no need to make such a big fuss and hurt the harmony between the two sects."

When he tricked me into going to Tianque City, he treated me very badly the whole way, kicking and hitting me, and causing me a lot of minor grievances.

I don't want to do anything to him, I just want to get back at him for all these little grievances.

He kicks me a certain number of times, I kick him back a certain number of times, that's all!
