Firefly arrived quickly; not long after Shushu sent his telepathic message, she was already there.
Also coming along were Gu Borong, whom Shushu had only met before, and Liu Yu, who had just returned to his clan.
Liu Yu had gone to Xianglai Forest before, and Shushu was worried that he was still busy there, so she didn't send him a message. She didn't expect that he would come back so coincidentally.
Seeing that they had all come together, Shushu was really happy. He suppressed his pounding heart and went up to greet them: "Master, Mistress, Second Senior Brother."
"Little Sweet Potato, what's wrong?"
Firefly immediately noticed that something was wrong with Shushu, so she quickly put her in her hand and asked with concern.
While asking her questions, Liu Yu also checked on the other children.
Seeing that the babies were all alright, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then she focused all her attention on the little glutinous rice ball she was holding, which was trembling a little.
"Bo Rong, you take the kids back first. Rabbit, you come back too."
Liu Yu, however, was more perceptive. He noticed something as soon as he arrived, his brows furrowing. He then asked Gu Borong, who had come with him, to take the children back first, including Rabbit.
"Okay, Master."
Seeing Liu Yu's serious expression, Gu Borong knew that things were not simple. Without hesitation, he immediately summoned his sword, enlarged it, and wrapped the cubs up one by one.
When it was Rabbit's turn, he didn't even need to lift a finger; Rabbit jumped up on his own.
Then, the rabbit standing on the sword glanced at the obviously out-of-focus Shushu, pursed its three-lobed lips, and couldn't help but ask Liuying, "Ancestor, is Shushu alright?"
The little rabbit looked worried and concerned.
At any other time, Shushu would definitely have been charmed by the bunny, but as time went by, the things underneath also became more and more attractive to Shushu.
She was already at her limit in controlling herself from rushing inside, and she really didn't have the ability to pay attention to anything else, so she didn't notice Rabbit's question.
However, Shushu didn't notice that everyone else and the little ones had heard it. After hearing it, all the little ones looked at the three adults present.
To be honest, things happened rather suddenly, and they were a little frightened. They were also worried about Shushu, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they, like the quails, didn't dare to make a sound.
Now that the rabbits have asked, they also want to know, at least to confirm: is the sweet potato dangerous?
So, all the little cubs looked longingly at the three adults, hoping someone would say something.
Looking at the little ones, Liu Ying felt a pang of sympathy and realized that she had neglected them. She quickly made sure to reassure them.
"Don't worry, the millet is fine, it's just a little affected. With the ancestors here, they will handle it properly. You don't need to worry, go back now."
"Okay, good luck, Ancestor, come back soon, and we'll find Shushu to play with again later~"
"Okay~ I'll talk to Shushu, go back to them, don't worry."
"Alright, then we'll head back. Goodbye, Ancestor!"
"Um!"
Then, with Liu Ying's assurances and reassurances, and Liu Yu's nod of agreement, the group of little ones finally felt much more at ease and regained their usual energy.
After saying goodbye to Liu Ying in her childish voice, Gu Borong led them out of the back mountain and sent them back to their homes one by one, including Tu Tu.
However, after being sent back to Yuefeng by Gu Borong, Tutu decided that she would not go out until Shushu returned, so that her friends wouldn't be unable to find her when they came back.
Unbeknownst to the rabbits, not long after they were taken away, the area behind the mountain was surrounded by beasts arranged by Liu Yu, and none of the beasts were allowed to come over.
At the same time, he also sent the beasts into the back mountain and temporarily sent out all those who had gone in for training. In addition, except for the disciples of the Deacon Hall, the back mountain was temporarily only open for exiting and not for entering.
After Shan Ling and Hu Heng, who had finally received the news, arrived and took charge outside, Liu Yu and Liu Ying simultaneously transformed back into firefly rabbits and then shrunk in size.
Led by Liu Yu, with Liu Ying carrying millet and sweet potatoes behind them, the three beasts together crawled into the small hole.
The entrance to the cave was initially very small. Liu Yu and Liu Ying had to shrink themselves to the extreme to barely squeeze in. Moreover, the cave was a maze with many paths leading in all directions.
Most importantly, there are quite a few Heavenly Secret Sprouts here, on every path, which completely blocks the exploration of divine sense.
Liu Yu and Liu Ying exchanged a glance, both becoming more cautious, before gradually venturing deeper under Shu Shu's guidance.
They could sense that the road led downwards into the earth, getting deeper and deeper as they went.
They walked for an unknown amount of time, until they seemed to have reached the end, with no way forward.
"Little sweet potato, can you sense where the road is?"
Looking at the earthen wall in front of them, Liu Yu and Liu Ying tried many methods and searched the entire end, but they still couldn't find a way out.
Helpless, Liu Yu could only look at Shushu, who was being held tightly in Liu Ying's arms. Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Liu Yu fed her a Qingming Pill and used his spiritual power to help her dissolve the pill faster.
"Master, use this to clear the way."
After the Qingming Pill took effect, Shushu's eyes became clearer, and he first signaled to his master and mistress that he was alright.
He then quickly took out a piece of black wood and handed it to Liu Yu. If Lu Li were here, he would recognize that this piece of black wood was the same piece he had obtained from the market in Wanyue City.
Those two things, the brown stone, emerged from the previous Black Flame Secret Realm on its own, helping her break through the Black Flame Secret Realm and awakening Lingjun.
The black wood, however, hadn't been used yet, and Shushu had put it away again. She didn't know why she was thinking about the wood at this moment.
