As Rong Zi continued to paint a rosy picture, Murong Zhen's emotions grew increasingly excited. He grabbed the prescription and rushed back to prepare it.
Hair!
His hair is finally going to grow back!
With Murong Zhen gone, Qi Ming and Xi Hongyu had no reason to stay any longer. So, after entrusting their child to Rong Zi, the two of them headed back home.
This visit resulted in significant losses.
Especially Xi Hongyu, he'll probably feel the pinch for a while when he gets back.
After the three groups left, Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er surrounded Rong Zi, curiously asking her what she had experienced during her disappearance.
It has become so powerful in just over two months.
That's amazing!
Rong Zi gave them a brief explanation, which they found quite astonishing.
How could you possibly steal treasures and end up in the Demon Realm's forbidden area?
As expected of Master...
Rong Zi said, "You've come back just in time. I was just planning to take them to the Monster Forest for training. Why don't you come along too?"
Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er naturally had no objections.
The group took out their electric scooters, got on, and set off.
On the way, Rong Zi glanced at Xi Hongyu's storage ring and was surprised to find that it contained quite a few treasures.
She looked at Xi Ling'er, who was riding a small electric scooter beside her, and asked, "Was your father the one who agreed to your marriage with the Xu family?"
Xi Ling'er didn't expect Rong Zi to suddenly ask such a question.
She paused for a moment, then nodded truthfully.
"Um."
Rong Zi asked again, "Why?"
No matter who you look at it from, Xu Xingzhi is absolutely unworthy of Xi Ling'er.
The Xu family was definitely the first to propose marriage.
But Xi Hongyu only has one daughter, Xi Ling'er.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like the kind of father who doesn't care about his daughter's future.
If that's the case, why insist on marrying your daughter to someone like Xu Xingzhi, who is unworthy of her in every way?
Xi Ling'er replied, "I didn't understand it at first either, and I complained about it more than once, but now that the Xu family has had such a thing happen, my father told me the reason when I was at home this time."
She genuinely disliked Xu Xingzhi at all back then.
But his father was adamant that their family could not be the ones to break off the engagement.
This time, after her father found out that she had joined Rongling Sect, he forcibly brought her back home, saying it was for her future. She was furious, so she brought up her marriage agreement with the Xu family, accusing her father of wanting to marry her off to someone like Xu Xingzhi if he really cared about her future.
Perhaps sensing her resentment, Xi Hongyu felt very guilty and told Xi Ling'er the truth about the marriage contract.
The others, hearing the conversation between Rong Zi and Xi Ling'er, also curiously gathered around.
Qi Yufei frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"
What could possibly be the reason that someone would disregard their own daughter's wishes?
Xi Ling'er hesitated for a moment before replying, "When I was very young, my father was ambushed by enemies. It was my mother who sacrificed herself to save him. At that time, my mother's life was hanging by a thread, and only the Xu family's Floating Worry Fruit could save her."
Rong Zi understood. "So, your father agreed to the marriage with the Xu family to save your mother?"
Xi Ling'er nodded.
"Yes, at that time, Xu Liuhan agreed to use the only remaining Floating Worry Fruit of the Xu family to save my mother, but on the condition that the Xi and Xu families could become one family in the future. My father was in a hurry to save my mother, so he had no choice but to agree to the marriage agreement."
"Moreover, Xu Liuhan and Xu Xingzhi, father and son, have always been very good at disguising themselves. My father thought that Xu Xingzhi was just not talented and didn't seem like a bad person, so he..."
Qi Yufei was practically exploding with excitement.
He roared, "Isn't this bad? That father and son used your mother's life as a bargaining chip, isn't that pure blackmail? It's despicable!"
Gu Xiaochui chimed in, "Not only is it despicable, but based on what Xu Liuhan and the Xu family have done, they're simply beasts!"
"Exactly! You beast!" Ning Lingling spat through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing Ning Lingling's voice, everyone realized that Xu Chi was still there.
Although Xu Liuhan was indeed a beast, he was still Xiao Liu's biological father.
Weren't they being too unrestrained with their insults?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xu Chi, who was sitting in the back seat of Ling Mo.
Gu Xiaochui opened his mouth, "Sixth Junior Brother, um..."
Before he could say anything, Xu Chi, who was always slow to react, spoke up.
"Well said."
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
If we were to name the person who hated Xu Liuhan the most, Xu Chi would definitely be on the list.
...
After several days of travel, Rong Zi and his eight disciples finally arrived at the Monster Forest.
Rong Zi looked at the monster forest in front of him and subconsciously swallowed.
She seemed to see delicious food beckoning to her.
Rong Zi wiped his mouth with his hand and waved his hand, saying, "Disciples, this time we'll go straight to the center of the Monster Forest and take a trip around it."
"No problem." None of the apprentices had any objections.
With their master's current strength, what demonic beast could be her match?
Even in the heart of the region, they have no fear.
However, Rong Zi said, "Let's make this clear first, I won't take action unless absolutely necessary. You'll have to rely on yourselves. I'll tell you where to go, and you'll do it. This time, we must stockpile enough grain."
Hearing this, the group hesitated.
Gu Xiaochui frowned. "This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Qi Yufei added, "There are already level four or even higher monsters in the inner perimeter of the Monster Forest, let alone the central area. With our strength, if you don't make a move, we'll probably become food for those powerful monsters as soon as we enter the central area of the Monster Forest."
