Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Inside the temporary camp in the South China Sea.

"Mengyun, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to talk about it!"

"Yang Xian's identity is too special. The higher-ups have given a strict order: his absolute safety must be guaranteed!"

"So we had no choice but to hide him in a very, very safe place!"

Jiang Hong's old face scrunched up in a bitter expression as he earnestly tried to persuade his granddaughter.

Unable to see Yang Xian, Jiang Mengyun's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with sobs and pleading.

"Grandpa, please let me see him just once! Just once!"

"I promise, I'll leave soon and I definitely won't bother him, okay?"

"I just want to see with my own eyes that he's alright..."

"Mengyun, not now." Jiang Hong hardened his heart and shook his head.

"The crisis has only just ended, and no one knows whether those monsters will return and launch a counterattack."

"For Yang Xian's safety, no one is allowed to see him now. That's an order!"

Over the next few hours, Jiang Hong used all his persuasive skills, offering both encouragement and reassurance, until he finally managed to persuade the distraught Jiang Mengyun to leave.

"well--!"

Jiang Hong sighed heavily, plopped back into his chair, and rubbed his temples wearily.

He knew very well that, given his granddaughter's personality, even if he managed to persuade her to leave today, she would definitely come back tomorrow.

The thought of this gave him a headache, even though he was a seventh-level expert.

"Old Jiang, don't blame yourself too much. There's nothing we can do about it." Shen Qingtong handed him a cup of hot water.

Principal Huang leaned back in another chair, his brow furrowed with worry, and asked, "How much longer do you think we can keep Yang Xian's death a secret?"

This was Yang Xian's dying wish: to conceal his death from his female confidantes by all means possible.

The three of them discussed it and decided to secretly protect Yang Xian in order to safeguard him.

No one is allowed to visit.

It's clear that Yang Xian has had too many women around him.

Jiang Mengyun, relying on her kinship with Jiang Hong, was the one who asked the most questions.

"Yang Xian's girls are all incredibly shrewd; none of them are fools." Shen Qingtong took a sip of water. "In my opinion, our excuse won't last long."

"What can we do?" Jiang Hong stood up irritably.

"Even if you can't hide it anymore, you have to keep hiding it!"

"At least... at least my silly granddaughter should be able to give birth to her child safely!"

A hush fell over the office.

They were heartbroken by Yang Xian's sacrifice and overwhelmed by the mess they were left with.

Suddenly, Principal Huang slapped his thigh, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Hey! I have an idea!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong and Shen Qing both turned to look at him.

A glimmer of light appeared on Principal Huang's face:

"We've been saying we've hidden him, but where we've hidden him is too vague."

"When they can't find anyone, they always start to have doubts."

"How about... we give them a specific location!"

"A specific location?" Shen Qingtong was taken aback. "Wouldn't that make it easier to be exposed?"

"No, no, no," Principal Huang waved his hand. "We can say that Yang Xian was secretly transferred to another city by the high command of the military!"

In this way, the distance is too great, and even if they wanted to find them, they wouldn't be able to!

It's too far away to reach them!

Jiang Hong and Shen Qing exchanged a glance, both seeing the word "feasible" in each other's reactions.

"Great idea!" Jiang Hong was the first to agree.

"I think it's a good idea!" Shen Qingtong nodded. "This way, we can at least delay things for a long time."

"Then it's settled!" Principal Huang leaned back in his chair. "If anyone asks again, we'll tell them that Yang Xian has been transferred to Star City next door!"

"good!"

"no problem!"

Just as the three of them reached an agreement on the new "script," a crisp sound came from outside the tent.

"teacher!"

It is Bai Chuyi.

The three exchanged glances, some drinking water, others rubbing their temples.

It was as if the conspiracy had never happened.

"Please come in!"

Principal Huang spoke.

"Teacher, Da Yang, he..." Bai Chuyi walked in quickly.

But Principal Huang interrupted her first.

"Xiao Bai, I know you're worried about Yang Xian's safety, and we understand how you feel. But..."

"..." Bai Chuyi paused, then opened her mouth, "Da Yang said..."

Principal Huang, however, was completely absorbed in his own script and continued speaking to himself:

"Yang Xian has been moved to the safer Star City."

"This is top secret; I shouldn't have told you."

"You may not be able to see him now!"

After saying that, he put on a sorrowful expression that "even the teacher is powerless."

Bai Chuyi was completely stunned.

Star City?

Da Yang is indeed in Star City!

A few minutes ago, Yang Xian sent her a message through the "Knot of Hearts".

Tell her to quickly find Principal Huang and send someone to Xingchen City to pick him up and take him back.

So the teachers already knew!

Bai Chuyi was overjoyed.

"Teacher! Let's quickly think of a way to bring Da Yang back!"

"Da Yang is all alone out there, he needs us!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Huang nearly coughed up blood.

Bring them back?

Where do we pick them up? To the underworld?!

"No, no! Little Bai, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Even the teacher can't carry out the highest orders from the military..."

"You...you shouldn't make things difficult for the teacher anymore!"

------

On the other side, Star City.

Under Liu Qin's guidance, Yang Xian was placed in a rest room.

"I wonder if Principal Huang will be so moved by the news that I'm still alive that he'll burst into tears?"

"Yes, very likely."

"Just thinking about the look on his face when he sees a ghost soon makes me want to laugh..."

Yang Xian sat on a sofa and leisurely sipped his tea.

Just then, the "knot of hearts" between him and Bai Chuyi warmed slightly.

coming!

It's Xiaobai who replied!

Yang Xian was overjoyed and immediately focused his mind.

The next second, Bai Chuyi's dazed voice clearly rang in his mind:

"Da Yang, the teacher said he can't do it and told you not to make things difficult for him anymore!"

Yang Xian: ? ? ?

Can't it be done?

To make things difficult for him?

It took Yang Xian a full three seconds to snap out of his daze.

"no!!"

"Has this old scoundrel lost his conscience?"

"Couldn't you just send someone to pick me up and take me home?!"
