Xingyun wanted to say something more, but Elder Huo waved his hand and gave her a confident smile.

"Alright! You're the one! Airship Vice Commander, Xingyun!"

"!!!"

Xingyun's eyes widened. Unaware of Elder Huo's inner thoughts, she could hardly believe that she had succeeded so easily. But only a fool would raise objections at this point.

Now all you need to do is say "Oh ho!"

"Gaga, let's hurry up and get ready!"

Xingyun dragged Gaga towards her residence, not forgetting to turn back and say goodbye: "Thank you, Elder, for giving me this opportunity!"

"You're welcome."

Seeing Xingyun's decisive and efficient demeanor, Elder Huo smiled and nodded. "That's right, this is the spirit that disciples of the Five Elements Sect should have!"

"Cough cough!"

Clearing his throat, Elder Huo Le shouted towards the barrier.

"Alright, kids, we need to open the barrier for something. Everyone, step back a bit and don't crowd around there anymore. It wouldn't be good if you fell in and got all bumped and bruised!"

"..."

"..."

"Um?!"

In the underworld, the bewildered eyes of the laborer Hongli suddenly flickered.

"what happened?"

Meng Po looked over curiously.

"Someone is talking about me, and it seems like they want to contact me..."

Hongli closed her eyes, sensing a faint warning from the demonic shadow, but it was too far away to be certain.

"that……"

Hongli suddenly smiled, gently put down the soup spoon, and waved her hand.

"Grandma Meng, I'm going out to take a call. It might be a conversation that lasts for several days. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Meng Po paused for a moment, then waved her hand: "Go ahead, go ahead, and come back soon!"

"okay!"

Hongli turned around, revealing a comical smile: "I'll definitely be back soon. See you later, Grandma Meng! See you later, Hei Xiaoyang~"

"Huh? Huh? Who called me? Who yelled at me!"

Hei Yang suddenly snapped out of his daze and realized that his girlfriend was gone. His eyes widened, and he picked up the soup spoon on the table and started stirring the soup in the pot.

"Xiao Li, are you there? Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you haven't been boiled to death, have you? Xiao Li, don't scare me..."

"Hey."

Hong Li, who hadn't officially left yet and was not far away, couldn't help but give him a deadpan look: "What are you doing?"

"what?"

Hei Yang turned his head and saw Hong Li not far away, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me! What are you doing there? Come here quickly, we haven't finished today's tasks yet. Finish them soon so we can get some rest..."

"uh-huh!"

Hongli smiled and said cheerfully, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll be gone for a while. Don't miss me, okay? Love you!"

Hei Yang: "???"

"Etc., etc!"

Black Sun Tiger's body trembled: "Little Li, don't go! Little Li, don't leave me!"

"Hey!"

Meng Po tapped Hei Yang on the head, her voice cold: "Keep working."

"..."

"..."

"hiss!"

Amidst the thick gray fog, Hong Li's figure appeared on the streets of Five-Colored City. The latter shuddered violently, goosebumps erupting all over his body.

"Goodness, even though I've run all the way back, I can still faintly hear Hei Yang's voice. Is it because I care about him too much?"

Hongli pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"Xiao Li, how can I live without you... how can I live... how can I live... ah..."

"!!!"

"Such heavy resentment!"

Hongli opened the message panel and, sure enough, saw someone spamming the chat, which she promptly ignored.

"Hmm, it seems this place is not a good place to stay for long..."

Hongli turned her head to look at the alley she was in, her face showing vigilance.

"It's so eerie, it's probably a black sun outbreak. Let's find another place to make the call..."

"..."

"..."

"Ha, Xiao Li, it's been a few days! How have you been lately?"

Elder Huo greeted him with a smile, "Isn't it a pleasant experience?"

"Um, ah, this..."

Hong Li looked up and thought for a moment, then suddenly trembled and coughed twice: "Um, Elder, please don't ask anymore. It's a private matter. Just get to the point!"

"Oh hoo!"

Elder Huo nodded knowingly, a "I understand" expression on his face, though it was unclear what he understood.

"Ahem, well, I have some good news."

Elder Huo held up a finger and laughed, "Just now, the airship carrying the Earth and Wood disciples, and also recruiting new disciples, has set off. It will arrive at Five Colors City by tomorrow night at the latest, which is also the first stop for recruiting disciples."

Then you and your boyfriend can live in a new house!

"!!!"

Hongli exclaimed in surprise, "Really?!"

"uh-huh."

Elder Huo nodded smugly: "Of course!"

"Wow, long live the elders! Long live the sect!"

Hongli opened the message panel, scrolled over Heiyang's resentment, and edited a message.

[Hongli: Stop yelling! Breaking news! The construction team I booked is arriving tomorrow!]

[Hei Yang: Xiao Li~~ I died so tragically~~]

[Hongli: ???]

[Hongli: My apologies, my apologies, no offense intended. May bad luck be gone, may good fortune come your way, and may your whole family be safe and sound...]

[Black Sun: Cough cough, that wasn't me just now, maybe it was multiple personality disorder.]

[Hei Yang: What did you say? Are you sure?]

[Hongli: Hmm, the elder told me. I'll ask him again.]

"Elder."

"Ok?"

"You really do."

Hongli looked at Elder Huo seriously: "Are you sure, absolutely sure, that they will be able to get here tomorrow?"

"of course!"

Elder Huo chuckled and said, "Your aunt is leading the team, um, and... uh, you don't trust your aunt to lead the team?"

Elder Huo Le didn't mention Xing Yun's matter, intending to give Xiao Li a surprise.

"aunt!"

Hongli cried out in surprise, looking up at the sky, as if she saw the shadow of her gentle and reliable aunt smiling at her from heaven.

"That's wonderful! I trust her to get things done!"

[Hongli: Yang! Yang! Oh ho! The information is accurate, check out immediately!]
