This time, the disciple guarding the mountain didn't return alone with a bewildered expression; instead, he came with Shang Xiye and a large group of others.
The joy on his face was even more intense than that of Shang Xiye and the others, as he felt that he had finally avenged his previous humiliation.
"Master, Madam, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!"
Before the magpie even reached the mountain gate, it was already shouting loudly from afar, rushing out like a small cannonball released from its barrel.
Su Rujing was knocked off her feet by the magpie and quickly helped her up, laughing, "You silly girl, you're almost someone's wife, and you're still so clumsy."
Xi Que turned back shyly to look at Wuhen, who was grinning foolishly at him, and said, "I'm just happy to see Madam and the Boss. Besides, Brother Wuhen likes me like this, he won't mind."
"You can even say such things? Aren't you ashamed?" Su Rujing gently tapped her forehead, her face full of affection.
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, you've finally arrived! Yao Yao has been thinking of you day and night. She'll be overjoyed to know you're here!" Shang Xiye strode up to Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing, his eyes crinkling with laughter and his face beaming with happiness.
Donning the lake-blue robe of the Dan Sect, he was even more dashing, like the bright sun and moon, like an immortal descending to earth.
Just based on his talent and appearance, Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing were extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.
What's more, he kept mentioning their precious daughter Ji Fengyao, which made them even happier than if they had eaten honey, and they nodded repeatedly.
"Hey? Where's Yao'er? I can't find her." Su Rujing was very worried about Ji Fengyao. She craned her neck and looked behind Shang Xiye and the others, but she didn't see Ji Fengyao. She couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, why isn't Yao'er with you?" Ji Chenhai glanced around and asked, "And Feng Ming and Xiao Chen aren't here either. What business did they go out on together and haven't they come back yet?"
"No, no, Miss is at a critical juncture in her attempt to break through to the Pill Saint realm and is currently in seclusion," Xi Que quickly interjected, fearing that the old couple might blame their son-in-law again. "The eldest young master and Master Hei are protecting Miss closely and dare not leave her side for even a moment."
Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing nodded in relief: "Yes, Yao'er is at a critical moment, and we cannot leave her side."
"Father-in-law, parents-in-law, let's go inside and talk," Shang Xiye respectfully invited.
"Okay," Ji Chenhai nodded in agreement, then turned to the group that Ji Fenghua had brought back and said, "Come on, everyone, let's go inside first and talk. Don't just stand here."
Ji Fenghua hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong, Fenghua?" Miwei noticed that he was standing there motionless, so she turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Ji Chenhai, Su Rujing, Shang Xiye, and the others in front also stopped and turned around, looking at him with puzzlement.
"Brother-in-law... I... I think I'd better not join the Pill Sect." Ji Fenghua clenched her fists at her sides, her eyes filled with anxiety.
"Why not go in?" Shang Xiye raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.
The phrase "No matter what happens, I can shoulder the whole sky for you" is practically a promise that's about to be spoken aloud.
Ji Fenghua's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She said, "I don't want to implicate you and my sister, and I don't want to implicate everyone else. How about I send everyone here and leave you all alone for a while?"
"Hey, when did you pick up this bad habit? You come in as soon as your brother-in-law tells you to, instead of dawdling like that." Ji Chenhai turned around, grabbed Ji Fenghua by the collar, and pulled him into the Dan Sect.
