Fengying answered with his head down.
"No, the people we sent out haven't responded yet. I suspect they're dead."
The high priest warned, "Then send some more people to keep an eye on it. We must understand the movements of the Heavenly Dao. Tell our people to stay away and not to lose their lives in vain."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Fengying agreed and turned to leave.
Watching the people walk out of the hall, the high priest leaned back in his chair, frowned and fell into deep thought.
These days, whenever I have some free time, I can't help but think about Nangong Jiu.
She will only be in the mortal world for a hundred years, which means she will have to return to heaven in about three months. The best way is to get rid of her while she is still in the mortal world so that she cannot return to heaven.
The best time to get rid of her is when she is still young and her cultivation is not high.
The last time I went to see the Lord, he said before leaving, "Don't act rashly if you are not sure." Does that mean you can act if you are sure?
Fortunately, no one knows about my cultivation level, which has reached a higher level. It should be more than enough to deal with a young girl.
If she could be eliminated in the mortal world before she becomes powerful, it would be the best outcome for the demon world.
Forget it, I'll deal with her myself after I'm done with this busy period.
Humph, she is only four years old now. In ten or twenty years, she shouldn't be a big deal.
Having made up his mind, the high priest hummed a little tune leisurely.
Forest dwelling.
The group returned with a full load and after returning to their residence, they began to refine the inner elixir.
Nangong Xuan had just recovered his spiritual roots and was unable to refine high-level inner elixirs, so everyone gave him all the mid- and low-level inner elixirs they had.
After several days of refining, his cultivation level soared rapidly.
Xiangning and her husband were so happy that they wanted to go out of the forest to find delicious food for everyone.
Nangong Jiu smiled and dissuaded: "Dad, Mom, we are happy to know that you are happy.
However, everyone here is not a stranger, so there is no need to go to the trouble of looking for delicious food.
There's a saying in the mortal world that goes, "When people are kind, even water tastes sweet." When people have similar interests and are lucky enough to get together, drinking tea is always good.
Taoist Qingchen nodded and said, "God, Jiujun is right. Let's celebrate with tea instead of wine."
Xiang Ning saw that everyone had poured themselves tea, raised the bowl in her hand, and smiled as she took the tea that Wuwang had brought her.
"Come, I'll have tea instead of wine, thank you all!"
"Have a drink!" The bowls collided with each other, making a pleasant crisp sound.
Nangong Jiu looked at everyone one by one and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, even my father and mother's cultivation has improved. Let's take a day off today and continue training in the Stone Forest tomorrow."
Nangong Xunhuan looked at his hands and said, "My husband and I have not made any progress in our cultivation for many years, but we have made some progress in the past few days.
Maybe it's because I used the right method and was in a good mood, so I was able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Since it's working, let's just practice until the end of August and then go back."
After that, he pulled Xiang Ning and said, "Mother, let's go to the stream below the cave to wash."
Xiangning smiled and nodded, and they walked out of the cave and into the stream together.
"Xiaojiu, this place is surrounded by mountains and water, the environment is beautiful, and it's safe and quiet. You really put a lot of thought into choosing this place to build your residence."
"That's right. Didn't you always say that I enjoy life? Building a home must be based on comfort."
The mother and daughter played in the stream for a long time before returning to the cave.
The next morning, the group set out again for the Stone Forest.
In this way, it was the end of August.
After the training ended that day, everyone returned to the tent. Nangong Jiu smiled and said, "This year's training is over, and we will leave early tomorrow morning.
After these few months of training, everyone has made great progress, especially my second brother, who has already returned to his previous level. This is cause for celebration.
When you return to the heavens, remember to be more reserved and don't let anyone with ulterior motives notice your intentions."
Xiang Ning nodded: "You reminded me of this point. It's not a bad thing for us to keep a low profile."
That night, Xiang Ning fell asleep with her arms around Nangong Jiu as usual.
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the stone forest, the group had already packed up and came out of the stone forest half an hour later.
Xiang Ning tidied Nangong Jiu's clothes and said, "We will return to the heaven first. We will come to Xizhou to pick you up in late March next year."
"Okay, Daddy, Mommy, and brothers, goodbye!"
Before leaving, the family showed off the gifts they had prepared long ago: "In ten days, it will be your birthday. Congratulations in advance."
Nangong Jiu happily accepted the gifts and hugged his family members one by one. Then the two groups separated and left.
Nangong Mansion in Heaven.
The family returned to Nangong Mansion, and the housekeeper happily came forward to report.
"After you left, there were people hanging around outside the mansion from time to time, and some even bribed the servants in the mansion to sneak in.
I have already reorganized the servants in the mansion several times, and those who remain are trustworthy."
Xiang Ning nodded and took out a box: "You have always been cautious in your work. Here are some magical beast inner cores. Take them and refine them."
The butler took the box, thanked him, and then looked at Nangong Xuan with surprise: "Second Young Master, what is this?"
Nangong Xuan smiled and used his spiritual power to hit a tree outside the window, splitting the tree in half.
The housekeeper was so happy that he wiped away his tears: "The Second Young Master's cultivation has recovered, and I believe the young lady has also... That's great, that's great..."
Xiang Ning reminded: "Although the people in the mansion can be trusted, don't make it public. It's enough for us to know it among ourselves.
The people in the Second Brother’s Courtyard must be our own people, and we should send a few guards to watch over them day and night.
The main purpose is to prevent the news from leaking out and to confuse those with ulterior motives."
The housekeeper should go down and do it.
In front of the magic mirror of heaven.
The Star Lord Siming looked at Nangong Jiu in the magic mirror with a smile.
"Our peaceful days are coming to an end!"
Tiandao sipped his tea while glancing at someone with a silly smile on his face: "I remember someone complained about the deserted atmosphere not long ago."
"Hehe... I did say that! Do you think I have a problem? I feel lonely when it's quiet, but I find it too noisy when it's lively."
God ignored him as he showed off, his eyes looking in an unknown direction.
Siming Xingjun continued, "This family is pretending to be so convincing. If I didn't know their current situation, I would have thought that the second child was dying.
But this is also good, at least it can give some people some peace for a while, and buy the Empress some more time."
Tiandao sniffed the tea and said, "This must be the little girl's idea. She is quite thoughtful!"
Siming Xingjun sighed and said, "Fortunately, she is a careful person. Judging from the groups of people you have eliminated, it can be seen that that guy is still determined to commit evil."
Tiandao paused while holding the teacup: "The last time he went to the Infernal Purgatory, I found that his cultivation had improved.
Originally, when the little girl recovered 70% of her cultivation, she could have defeated him, but now that she has recovered 70% of her cultivation, she is no longer able to do so."
Siming Xingjun became nervous: "Where is the 80% cultivation level of the Empress?"
