"Grandmaster, Master is back." Ye Ke reached out and gently shook Grandmaster Zhang Yuzhen's clothes.
"Where are they? How come Grandmaster didn't see them?" Zhang Yuzhen laughed; she hadn't yet noticed that Ye Liang and the others had returned.
"There!" Ye Ke and Ye Le pointed out to Zhang Yuzhen with great enthusiasm that their master had already appeared at the intersection they had come from.
"Grandmaster, can we go down and see you sooner?" The children were very well-behaved and pleaded with their grandmaster in a weak voice.
Looking at the children's expectant eyes, and despite carrying them and finding it difficult to descend the mountain, Grand Master Zhang Yuzhen couldn't bear to refuse their innocent yet eager gazes. She smiled and said, "Of course you can. Grand Master will take you down the mountain. You children, be careful walking. The mountain path is difficult; don't fall or slip. Your master will be distressed and will blame Grand Master for not taking good care of you. He cares about you very much."
"Understood." The children obediently replied to their great-grandmother, and then anxiously tugged at her clothes, urging her to hurry down the mountain to greet their master.
When Ye Liang saw the children coming down the mountain to greet him, he immediately told his senior sister and used his movement technique to go ahead and meet the children. He left his senior sisters behind, leading Wei Wenshi and her brother to catch up.
To meet the child, the junior sister, who was not feeling well, was just as anxious as Ye Liang. She hurriedly took Xiao Lu and caught up.
The senior female students didn't stop them either.
I was so happy to see my junior sister, with her little deer, jumping around and inseparable from Ye Liang.
"Ye Ke, Ye Xing, Ye Le, Ye Leng, you four little ones, why did you drag your grandmaster down the mountain? Don't you know your grandmaster has to take care of the children and can't leave at all!"
Halfway up the northern cliff, Ye Liang met the children early, not letting them walk too much on the steep and difficult mountain paths.
Upon seeing them, he immediately began to complain that they were being disobedient again. But he smiled and reached out to pat each of their heads. Then he took Xiao Ye Le and Xiao Ye Ke's hands and asked the boys Ye Xing and Ye Leng to follow along so they could go and talk to their master.
Junior Sister Yang Ting, accompanied by Little Deer, immediately ran to Master to report the most exciting news.
"Master, we're back! Ye Liang led us, we even defeated the Flower King and the Queen Bee! We're so amazing!" The junior sister excitedly exclaimed to her master how incredible they were.
Saying these words would put their master at ease and make her proud of their achievements.
No matter how great the achievements a disciple makes, they are always a source of pride for the master.
Upon hearing the news from her junior sister, Master Zhang Yuzhen dared not immediately feel relieved and happy. She still worried about her junior sister and said, "You are all alright, aren't you? I heard everything from the mountain when you were fighting the Flower King in Hidden Mystery Valley. The Flower King made some terrifying noises. It was so frightening. These children have been worried about you, afraid that something might happen to you."
"Huh? Master, we can hear the sounds of us fighting the Flower King in Hidden Mystery Valley all over here?" the junior sister exclaimed in surprise. She was so caught up in her surprise that she forgot to answer the point of her master's question.
Master was asking if they were all alright.
However, there's no need for my junior sister to answer this question in detail.
At this moment, Master Zhang Yuzhen also saw that her eldest disciple, second disciple, Wei Wenshi and her brother who had come down the mountain with Ye Liang, and her stepson Qin Shaoyang had all returned safely.
They all appeared to be intact and able to walk up the mountain on their own. This was far more convincing and reassuring than anyone telling her that they were all fine.
"Master, your disciples have returned safely." The eldest disciple, along with the second disciple, and also Ye Liang and the youngest disciple, came to pay their respects to their master and report their safe return. They didn't forget to invite junior sister Wei Wenshi as well; although her master wasn't Zhang Yuzhen, she wasn't neglected and was also invited to come and pay her respects to Zhang Yuzhen.
Seeing her disciples return one by one and successfully defeat the Flower King and Queen Bee, Master Zhang Yuzhen was naturally delighted.
"Good, good. It's good that you're back safe and sound. Get up, all of you. Let's go up the mountain to talk." Zhang Yuzhen had just happily told her disciples to get up when, unfortunately, it was as if the child had pooped again and wet the diaper, so at this moment, the child suddenly started crying.
"Auntie, my little brother pooped again. I can smell the stench of his poop." Before Qin Shaoyang could even come over and talk to his aunt, his little brother started crying anxiously, preventing him from coming over and talking to his aunt properly.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Zhang Yuzhen could only change the baby's diaper with the help of her senior sister, and said, "Yang'er, you didn't cause any trouble for your senior brothers and sisters when you went down the mountain with them, did you?"
These words showed concern for Qin Shaoyang.
Qin Shaoyang smiled warmly, but before he could speak, his senior sisters spoke up for him in front of their master, saying, "Master, don't worry, Brother Qin is very capable. He helped us a lot when we were fighting the Flower King and the Queen Bee."
With outsiders like his senior sister helping him speak to his aunt, their words would certainly be more convincing than his own boasting.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." In return for her kindness, she first sincerely thanked her Senior Sister, and then said with particular humility, "Auntie, I didn't actually do much on this trip. However, I learned a lot of experience from the Senior Sisters and Brother Ye. I gained a lot from fighting the Flower King and the Queen Bee with the Senior Sisters and Brother Ye."
