"Nessosa (second tone)?" Wu Qiong picked at his ear. "Did I hear you wrong, or did you say you were going back to the palace with your sister-in-law?"

Ximen Ji nodded and said, "Yes."

"Didn't you tell your sister-in-law about the three princes?" Wu Qiong asked.

"Brother Wu, I'm sorry. Between my father and the Holy Maiden, I still trust my father more." Du Yuesheng said sincerely, "I left without saying goodbye fourteen years ago, my mother passed away ten years ago, and in the past five years, my eldest brother, second brother, and youngest brother have all passed away. My father is now on the verge of collapse, and I cannot abandon him at this time to care only for my own happiness."

"What will we do with Ah Xiu?" Wu Qiong asked expressionlessly. "Are you really willing to let her live a lonely and miserable life alone?"

"Once things stabilize in Miao territory, I will send someone to bring her here to live." Du Yuesheng smiled gently, radiating maternal warmth. "She has been with us in hiding since birth, never having had a good life. From now on, she will be the apple of Miao people's eye, and we will let her live the life a princess should live."

"And what about you, Brother Ximen?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Wu Qiong turned to Ximen Ji, intending to find a breakthrough: "You've been away from home for over ten years, and now you're planning to completely betray the Yunxiao Sect. Have you thought about your brother's feelings? You're his only family. Besides, I promised him I would definitely bring you back safely. You won't make me break my promise, will you?"

"Brother Wu, I'm sorry," Ximen said apologetically. "I need you to speak to my elder brother on my behalf. With my elder brother here, the Ximen family line will not be broken. I can only ask that you forgive me for not being able to inherit the Ximen family."

But that's not your older brother, it's your older sister, brother!

How will she carry on the family line? You can't expect me to be your brother-in-law!

Even if Wu Qiong agrees, would Ximen Chui agree? Even if Ximen Chui agrees, would Su Mubai, Li Jianshi, and Bai Xuanji agree?

But we can't say that, since Ximen, the handsome guy, doesn't want to be exposed yet.

So Wu Qiong came up with a plan and said, "Your elder brother is focused on the Tao, and in my opinion, he will never marry. The matter of continuing the family line will depend on you."

Ximen Ji shook his head: "I'm sorry, my mind is made up."

"..." Wu Qiong said expressionlessly, "Brother Ximen, do you know how pigs die?"

Before Ximen Ji could answer, he said quietly, "Stupid to death."

Ximen Ji: "."

"Whether Xiaoyue'er is telling the truth or not, you cannot go back." Wu Qiong said coldly, "It's fine if you don't know about this, but since you know there's danger and still go back, what are you if not stupid? If you insist on going your own way, don't blame me for knocking you out and taking you back to Da Zhou directly."

"Brother Wu, I don't think there's anything wrong with them going back." Ye Qingxuan couldn't stand it anymore. Why did you have to play the villain in their family's affairs? "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Let's just say it is. The Miao King just eliminated the eldest prince. According to the previous time difference, it will be at least a year and a half before he makes a move against Madam Ximen. In my opinion, the Miao royal family has not restricted Madam Ximen's personal freedom. We can find a pretext to let her out, and then have the Yunxiao Sect meet at the border and bring them back to the Great Zhou."

"Brother Dao, if they die, it's your fault." Wu Qiong retorted to Ye Qingxuan, then turned to Ximen Ji and calmly said, "Since you insist on going back, I won't say anything more. But there's one thing I want you to remember."

If the Miao people ever invade the Great Zhou, the first people I will kill on the battlefield are you two, husband and wife.

"Brother Wu, rest assured, I will properly advise my father," Du Yuesheng said earnestly. "Although the land of Miao territory is barren, we are able to be self-sufficient in food. There is really no need for us to invade the Great Zhou. You can rest assured."

"I hope so," Wu Qiong said coldly.

Then he looked at Shi Yue beside him and quickly changed his expression: "Little Yue'er, it's too dangerous for you to stay in Miao territory. Come with me to Da Zhou~ Brother will take you to see the Golden Age and treat you to all the good food and drink."

Shi Yue looked up at her with her little face: "What will happen to my subordinates?"

"Let's go together. You might not believe it, but your brother here is someone who can be considered influential in Da Zhou. A few hundred Miao people are nothing to us," Wu Qiong said smugly.

"It's not a few hundred, it's several thousand," Shi Yue sighed. "No one will agree to leave their hometown."

"So what are your plans?" Wu Qiong frowned. "To put it bluntly, you bunch of scoundrels pose no threat to the Miao King. Do you intend to lead your remaining troops to a mountain stronghold and become bandits—a seemingly lucrative profession?"

Shi Yue didn't answer. Instead, she stared intently at Wu Qiong with her large, clear eyes and said softly, "Brother, if I die, will you remember me?"

"No," Wu Qiong replied decisively. "I have a long life ahead of me, and I will only remember those who are still alive. As for the dead, they are not worth remembering."

"So please don't die, little Yue'er."

He knew he couldn't persuade Shi Yue, because she was the kind of person who would put the survival of the organization above her own.

That's why I hate guys like that the most!

Don't they know that there is hope only in living? If you die, you have nothing left!

He is just an ordinary person, but perhaps when the motherland is in a critical moment, he will step forward.

But his homeland is not in this world.

He stood on the side of the Great Zhou only because Bai Xuanji was the emperor of the Great Zhou.

"Okay, I understand." Shi Yue nodded seriously. "I won't die."

Then she held up her little finger: "Let's make a deal."

Wu Qiong looked at her silently for a long time, then extended his little finger and hooked it with hers.

"We made a promise that neither of us will die before we meet again." Shi Yue gently shook their intertwined fingers: "Anyone who lies will have to swallow a thousand needles."

"Um."

After the agreement was made, everyone fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Shi Yue broke the silence: "So you're going back to Zhou?"

"Um."

"Before you leave, could you tell me your real name?"

"Yes, my name is Wu Qiong." He smiled and said, "Qiong means 'poor and penniless.' My identity is the successor of the number one 'Sword Master' on the Heavenly Ranking, and I am twenty-five years old this year."

"My name is Shi Yue." The little girl slightly raised her chin. "My identity is the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, the future priestess. I am seven and a half years old this year, and I will be eight years old at the end of the year."

Wu Qiong solemnly replied, "I've remembered."

After saying goodbye, Wu Qiong said to Ye Qingxuan, who had been silent all along, "It's getting late, let's go back. Sigh, I still have to figure out how to explain to Sect Leader Ximen, what a hassle."

Everyone stood up and left the house. Shi Yue forced a smile and said, "I'll see you off."

"Don't frown, little girls should be lively." Wu Qiong gently stroked the little girl's head: "It's not like we won't see each other again."

After patting the little girl's head, he said to the Simon couple, "I don't agree with your decision, but since you've already decided, I won't say anything more. I just think you shouldn't bring Ah Xiu over for now. If something unexpected happens, you won't be able to escape quickly with her."

"I understand." Ximen Ji nodded, his expression sincere. "Brother Wu, I'm truly sorry, I..."

"No need to say anything more, just take care of yourselves." Wu Qiong waved his hand to interrupt him, "Then we'll head back first, goodbye."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Qiong's expression changed!

He abruptly turned to look south, his expression grave: "A powerful expert is rapidly approaching; it's... the 'Daoist Natural Realm'!"

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan also sensed it, and he whispered to Shi Yue, "Young benefactor, quickly have the people in the village evacuate from this place!"

Wu Qiong shook his head: "It's too late."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a magnificent figure suddenly descended from the sky!

"Ah Sheng, well done. Thanks to you, I was able to catch these rats."
