As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, saying, "I got this many years ago, and now I'm giving it to you."
Suddenly, a chubby-faced little boy popped out: "Third Aunt!" He held up a wooden sword, "When I grow up, I want to be as powerful as Third Uncle!" But he got tangled in the tassels on the wooden sword and fell flat on his face.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Mo Bai picked up the little guy with one hand: "Mo Xiaohu, you said yesterday that you wanted to marry your third aunt."
The family reunion banquet continued, with dozens of people in total. Rong Jiaojiao greeted each person and accepted their gifts.
After that, Rong Jiaojiao returned the gift, and almost an hour had passed by the time they finished their family reunion.
Mo Zhenting dismissed everyone, leaving Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai behind, and asked, "Jiaojiao, what are your thoughts on repairing the ascension passage?"
Rong Jiaojiao said, "I have considered it. My understanding of spatial power is not yet sufficient. I will stay at home with my parents and learn about spatial power at the same time. After I have made some progress, I will start working on repairing the ascension channel."
Mo Zhenting stroked his beard and nodded: "Good boy, this matter concerns the future of the cultivation world, but there is no need to rush it."
"You and Bai'er are newlyweds, so stay at the Mo family for a while. There are spatial books left by our ancestors on the top floor of the library, which may be of some help to you."
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Mo Zhenting reminded him, "Now that the spiritual veins have returned to their original positions, those old ghosts who have long been at the peak of the Celestial Master realm will definitely be restless and may urge you to repair the passage quickly. You can make them bleed a little."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Grandfather."
Actually, it wasn't just those people who were anxious; Rong Jiaojiao herself was just as anxious, wondering if the flow of time here was the same as in the upper realm.
She worried that many years had passed since her death, and whether her master was well. She feared that her master would not live to see the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Four Symbols and Five Elements Realm complete.
If my master were to pass away before I could live, I would definitely feel regret. It might become an insurmountable obstacle in my heart, and one day it might even turn into a demon in my mind.
Therefore, she will strive to comprehend the laws of space and try to repair the spatial passage as soon as possible.
Seeing that she understood, Mo Zhenting nodded: "You may all go back now!"
After the two rose, bowed, and left hand in hand, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Where are my nephews and nieces?"
Mo Bai smiled and said, "They still have classes. Last night, Mo Yu arranged for someone to take them back to school, saying that she would come to see you again when the holidays start."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "What is Ziling doing?"
Yesterday, I sent it to take some candy to play with the Mo family children, and it hasn't come back since. If it weren't for the contractual connection, it would have been right next to me, and I would have thought it had left!
Mo Bai recalled seeing the younger generation of the Mo family surrounding Zi Ling like stars around the moon yesterday, listening to it recount its experiences traveling all over the country over the years, and couldn't help but laugh, "Zi Ling is now the most admired figure among the younger generation of the Mo family. It told stories all night last night, and it's probably still in the pavilion next to the library, surrounded by the children."
Rong Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle: "It certainly knows how to enjoy being a teacher."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a cheer coming from afar.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see Zi Ling standing on the artificial hill, holding a candied hawthorn in her hand, talking animatedly about something.
A dozen or so Mo family children, around four or five years old, sat around it below, their eyes sparkling as they gazed at it.
"...So, back then, on the shores of the Misty Sea, I encountered a thousand-year-old demon tiger..." Zi Ling was about to continue boasting when she suddenly caught sight of Rong Jiaojiao and Mo Bai, and immediately jumped down from the artificial hill. "Master! You finally remembered me!"
The next second, it transformed into a little sable and jumped onto Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder, affectionately nuzzling her cheek.
The children swarmed around, chattering excitedly:
Third Aunt
Third Uncle
Mo Bai rubbed a child's head: "Have you finished your homework today?"
"We're done!" the children answered in unison, their eyes still glued to Ziling.
Zi Ling proudly flicked her tail: "Jiao Jiao, these little guys are so smart! I taught them to recognize some rare spiritual herbs, and they learned them in no time!"
Looking at the children's expectant eyes, Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Would you like to learn how to draw talismans?"
"Yes!" the children cheered.
Mo Bai watched this scene with tenderness in his eyes.
Rong Jiaojiao waved her hand: "Let's go to Third Aunt's yard."
Rong Jiaojiao led a group of children back to her courtyard, while Mo Bai went to prepare talismans and spirit ink.
Before long, the materials needed for drawing talismans were laid out on the stone table in the courtyard.
Zi Ling jumped onto the table, waved her paw, and conjured a small talisman brush. She said proudly, "This is my treasured 'Zi Ling Brand Talisman Brush,' perfect for beginners!"
The children's eyes lit up, and they all reached out to take it.
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and held their little hands: "Don't rush, before drawing talismans, you must first learn to calm your mind."
With a light tap of her fingertip, a calming talisman appeared in the air, its faint spiritual light enveloping everyone. The previously chattering children immediately quieted down, their eyes focused.
"The way of talismans emphasizes 'a calm mind, focused intention, and smooth flow of qi'."
Rong Jiaojiao demonstrated with a pen, dipping the tip in ink and smoothly outlining a basic fire talisman on the talisman paper. "The talisman pattern must be drawn in one go, without hesitation."
Mo Xiaohu watched her movements, eager to try: "Third Aunt, I know how to do this, can I try?"
"Of course." Rong Jiaojiao handed him a talisman, patiently held his little hand, and guided him through the drawing process. "Yes, that's it. Keep your wrist steady."
Mo Xiaohu held his breath and carefully drew the last stroke. The talisman paper glowed slightly, and he had actually succeeded!
"I finished drawing!" He jumped up excitedly, and the other children followed suit.
Zi Ling chimed in, "Hey, little girl, you've drawn it crooked!"
"No way!" the little girl retorted defiantly, but the talisman suddenly emitted a wisp of smoke and burned a hole in it.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Rong Jiaojiao rubbed her head: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more practice sessions."
Mo Bai stood under the corridor, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Offer them spirit fruit juice and spirit fruit pastries.
For the next two days, Rong Jiaojiao's courtyard became a paradise for children.
Three days later, it will be the day Rong Jiaojiao returns to her parents' home.
The Mo family had already prepared a homecoming gift, including spiritual medicines, spiritual fruits, and several jars of the Mo family's specially brewed "Drunken Immortal Wine".
Zi Ling squatted on the gift box, scratching at the brocade with her paws, and muttered, "Why wasn't there any candy for me?"
Rong Jiaojiao flicked its forehead: "You'll get your share." Saying that, she took out a packet of candied fruit from her sleeve and tossed it to it.
Zi Ling happily caught it and stuffed it into her small cloth bag.
The two piloted flying swords and soon arrived outside the retirement home.
When they arrived at the Rong family home, Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya were already waiting at the door. Seeing their daughter return, Fu Ya's eyes reddened slightly: "Jiaojiao, are you getting used to life at the Mo family home?"
