When the disciples returned, Shu Jianyue smiled and said, "You've all worked hard. The competition is the day after tomorrow. Rest tomorrow so you can give it your all."
"Yes, thank you, Grandmaster Uncle." All the disciples looked delighted.
Even the usually calm Gongchengxi breathed a sigh of relief.
The training these past few days has been more intensive than his training within his family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiwei slid down from the tree, saying, "Finally, I can rest."
"You should all cultivate diligently tonight; you'll definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort," Shu Jianyue said before leading Chong Jiu to the side.
"You, Yu'er, and Xixi go back first. I have some things to take care of."
Chong Jiu looked at her for a while and nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Shu Jianyue nodded, said hello, and left.
"I don't want to cultivate, I just want to get a good night's sleep," Lu Xiwei said weakly.
Gong Chengxi helped her up, saying, "Judging from the training my grandmaster has been doing these past few days, what she said must be correct."
Lu Xiwei rolled her eyes at him. "How could I not know? I was just complaining."
Seeing that they had been walking in the mountains for a long time without finding anyone, Fang Mu glared at the person next to him and asked, "Liu Yang, are you sure they're in this mountain range?"
Liu Yang nodded with certainty, "I'm sure. I've inquired, and they've been training in this mountain range these past few days."
Shu Jianyue, who had just arrived, raised an eyebrow. They had originally been training in this mountain range, but after a few days, they had finished fighting all the spirit beasts they could, so they moved to the mountain range next to it.
"Then why haven't we seen a single person all this time?" Fang Mu grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "If you dare to play me, I'll chop off your claws."
Liu Yang immediately shook his head, "I've really found out everything, they're definitely there."
"Forget about the others, the main thing is to catch that little wench, Shu Jianyue."
"Second Master Fang, why did you arrest her?"
Fang Mu glared at him, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Shu Jianyue sneered. She had seen them with her mental power before, and it was only after hearing them mention that they wanted to capture her that she came here.
"You're looking for me?" Shu Jianyue appeared directly in front of them.
Among this group, the highest cultivation level is only at the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so there's no need for them to hide.
Fang Mu had never met Shu Jianyue and couldn't be sure if she was her, so he looked at Liu Yang.
Liu Yang nodded, "She is the grandmaster grandmaster of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, Shu Jianyue."
Fang Mu immediately laughed, "Haha, I didn't expect there to be home delivery, you're just what I wanted."
Shu Jianyue took out an apple, took a bite, and said, "Oh, really?"
"I think I'll be more to your liking later."
As she spoke, she took out a green vine whip, a top-grade spiritual weapon that she had just refined a few days ago.
Fang Mu's eyes lit up again when he saw the whip in her hand—it was a top-grade spiritual weapon!
There are very few in the Central Spirit Realm; most are in the hands of powerful figures from various factions.
Sure enough, my nephew was right; she had quite a few good things about her.
"Really? That's for the best."
Fang Mu didn't take her seriously. She was just a Golden Core cultivator; no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't beat him, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
After finishing the apple, Shu Jianyue tossed the core aside, beckoned to him with her finger, and said, "Come on, I have a surprise for you."
Fang Mu squinted and smiled, "Very good, quite arrogant. I hope you can still be this arrogant later."
Shu Jianyue laughed, "Then you'd better watch carefully." After saying that, she attacked.
Fang Mu waved to the people behind him and went to meet them without even drawing his sword.
Shu Jianyue grinned, cracking her green whip with a whooshing sound. Fang Mu initially didn't take it seriously, but after dodging a few times, his expression darkened.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"Ha, someone who likes to look down on others, he looks down on everyone." Shu Jianyue cracked the whip faster and faster, not giving Fang Mu a chance to relax.
Fang Mu knew he couldn't keep dodging, so he drew his sword, intending to counterattack.
But Shu Jianyue wouldn't give him a chance. With a flick of her left hand, she immobilized him in mid-air.
She hadn't tried the whip she had just made yet, but now that she had, she wouldn't play with it anymore.
Fang Mu couldn't break free and looked at her in surprise, "How did you do that?"
She didn't take out any magical artifacts besides the whip, so how did she manage to imprison him in mid-air?
Shu Jianyue ignored him and instead looked at the other people who were already stunned.
"I have a task for you."
Liu Yang swallowed hard and nodded. "Please speak, young lady. We will definitely complete it."
Shu Jianyue smiled and said, "Very good. Go back and tell the Fang family head that if he wants his brother, he should offer enough sincerity in exchange."
Her grandson tried to kidnap Yan Xi, and her brother came to cause trouble for her. Did he really think she was made of clay?
Liu Yang shuddered and immediately nodded, "Yes, I will definitely pass on the message."
Shu Jianyue nodded and waved, "Those who are not from the Fang family can leave. Those from the Fang family, please stay."
Liu Yang paused for a moment and said, "These are all my brothers. Apart from this Second Master Fang, no one else from the Fang family came."
"Oh, really?" The Fang family only produced one Fang Er?
Am I being a little too confident in myself?
Liu Yang nodded immediately, "Yes, it's always been Second Master Fang who's been in contact with me. As soon as I got your news, I just told him."
"Alright, you can go now. Remember to pass on my message to the Fang family head." After saying that, Shu Jianyue left with Fang Mu.
Upon returning to the villa, he handed Fang Mu over to Fang Cheng, instructing him to keep an eye on the man and prevent him from escaping, as he was a valuable asset.
Fang family.
Fang Di frowned deeply as she looked at Yang Yun, whose face was swollen and bruised, making her unrecognizable.
It's been several days, and the injury hasn't healed.
How can we participate in the competition and show our faces in front of Elder Shengshi?
"Didn't I say I would handle it? You can focus on your cultivation."
"How can you participate in the competition like this? If you go out in this state, how can anyone possibly choose you?"
Yang Yunzhong grinned and said, "It's alright, Grandfather. Mother said she will help me."
Fang Di snorted coldly, "She can only help you with introductions; the elder is the one who makes the decisions."
"If you don't work hard yourself, no matter how much she helps, it won't make a difference."
"Your second uncle has been captured by Shu Jianyue, so you'd better not provoke her again, otherwise, even your mother probably won't be able to save you."
"What?" Yang Yun jumped up in surprise, then fell back down because she aggravated her injuries.
Fang Di shook her head at him, "The competition is in two days. You won't be able to participate. Whether you get selected or not depends on luck."
Yang Yun didn't hear what he said; her mind was still preoccupied with the incident of her second uncle being arrested.
She could even capture my second uncle, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, so what exactly is her cultivation level?
Yang Yun swallowed hard as she thought about it.
Fang Di spoke for a while longer, told him to rest well, and then got up and left.
