Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

soon.

Chang Wen then found a spot and opened the brocade pouch given to him by Fairy Biyou.

Go to the Southern Demon Ruins to deliver Lin Yuan. Open the brocade pouch only after delivering Lin Yuan.

A line of text appeared in Chang Wen's field of vision.

"Send Lin Yuan off..."

Chang Wen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, preparing to read the next piece of information.

But after waiting for a long time without seeing the second line of text, Chang Wen couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be broken?"

After waiting for a long time.

Chang Wen returned to the team with a dark expression.

The so-called brilliant plan is mostly just this one sentence.

No, a single sentence can be called a brilliant plan? And it can only be opened when I'm around?

"I just want to know, what's wrong with letting Aunt Xue see this?"

Chang Wen offered his sincere greetings to Fairy Biyou in his heart. Then he told Lin Baoding the course, and the group headed towards the Southern Demon Ruins.

"Southern Demon Ruins..."

Snow fell silently, pondering the intentions of the fairy Biyou. Unable to understand, she gave up trying to figure it out.

"Senior Brother! Are you going to take me home?"

Before anyone could speak, Lin Yuan leaped up in front of Chang Wen, his eyes shining.

He was brought to the Haoran Immortal Sect by Fairy Biyou when he was six years old, and now a full twelve years have passed.

Twelve years may be insignificant to a cultivator, but it is extremely precious to a young man.

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

Even cultivators cannot simultaneously possess youth and the understanding of youth. Therefore, these twelve years are unique.

"Yes, I'll take you home."

Chang Wen smiled and looked at the big guy in front of him.

Two years later, Lin Yuan had grown even more muscular, reaching 2.5 meters in height. He looked like a prehistoric beast.

Not only that, his strength has reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster of the Body Integration Realm.

I believe the Taotie clan chief will be very pleased to see him.

wrong.

Chang Wen suddenly thought of a question: how did Fairy Biyou bring Lin Yuan here in the first place?

Could it be that he, like Su Xiaoman, turned back halfway? If so, the difficulty of this trip will increase significantly.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, tell me, how did your master take you in back then?"

The excitement in Lin Yuan's eyes faded. He scratched the back of his head and hesitated before saying, "Big...Senior Brother, actually...I have a secret I've never told you..."

He was terrified.

If the eldest brother knew he was the gluttonous beast that everyone in the demon race disliked, would he stop playing with him from now on...?

"Stay calm."

Chang Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just say what's on your mind."

The others also looked at Lin Yuan, wondering what secret he had.

"Actually... I am a direct descendant of the Taotie..."

Lin Yuan lowered his head and said that he had prepared for the worst.

He thought that revealing this would make his fellow disciples dislike him. After all, he already ate a lot and was a money-loser. Now, with this new identity on top of that…

The reality was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what is a Taotie?"

Su Xiaoman leaned closer and asked curiously, as she had never heard of those two words before.

After spending two years with Lin Yuan, the initial awkwardness between them had disappeared, and she was no longer afraid that Lin Yuan would devour her.

"Wow...you're a Taotie?"

Chen Changsheng's eyes widened as he approached Lin Yuan. "No way, little brother, you actually have such a cool identity?"

"what?"

Su Xiaoman and Chen Changsheng's attitude completely baffled Lin Yuan. These two actually didn't look down on him?

As if he had thought of something, Lin Yuan tentatively looked at Chang Wen and the others, wanting to know their attitude towards him.

When he saw Chang Wen and the others smiling at him, his eyes lit up instantly. "Senior Brother..."

"I already knew that."

Chang Wen smiled and patted his fat arm.

Slurp...

"Hey, hey, you little rascal..."

Chang Wen hurriedly pushed Lin Yuan away, making everyone burst into laughter. They secretly thought that Lin Yuan's way of expressing affection was truly unique.

"Come on, give me a kiss, second brother!"

Unable to get close to Chang Wen, Lin Yuan grabbed Chen Changsheng and began licking him vigorously.

Chen Changsheng is currently only at the Golden Core stage. Even if he reveals his full cultivation level, he is no match for Lin Yuan, who is at the Void Refining stage. He can only be fawned over.

After licking Chen Changsheng, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Chu Xinghe.

Unable to get close to Chu Xinghe, Lin Yuan ignored Shen Nianqing and focused his gaze on Su Xiaoman.

"Junior sister, come here, give me a lick!"

"Wow, Fifth Senior Brother, don't come any closer!"

Su Xiaoman quickly hid behind Chang Wen; if Lin Yuan were to lick her, she'd be completely filthy...

The six of them joked and played around, their joyful laughter lingering along the way, witnessed by time.

Nobody noticed.

Two familiar figures were following closely from the shadows.

If anyone saw the figure's face, they would be utterly shocked.

One is Ren Yuanzi, and the other is Zhou Qing.

The strangest thing is that neither of them seemed to have noticed the other's presence. But their purpose was surprisingly the same: to protect Chang Wen and the others.

"Just as I expected, those bastards have indeed arrived."

Ren Yuanzi stared at a certain spot.

There were two people there, the hidden head of the Wang family and Jiang Daolin.

They lurked in the shadows like venomous snakes, watching Chang Wen and his group, waiting for their chance to strike.

"Although my avatar is left in the Northern Wilderness, my strength is greatly reduced. But it won't be difficult to stop you. Once Chang Wen and the others invite the Three Domains, I will find a way to settle accounts with you."

After finishing his analysis, Ren Yuanzi continued to lie in wait in the shadows, protecting Chang Wen and the others.

It is worth mentioning that.

He had witnessed everything that had just happened. He now knew that Chang Wen had not fallen into demonic possession, and he had completely let go of his resentment towards Chang Wen.

……

It's dark ahead.

The head of the Wang family walked side by side with Jiang Daolin, keeping a close eye on Chang Wen and his group's movements as if they were prey.

"Uncle Wang, in my opinion, we shouldn't delay any longer. Should we take action now?"

Jiang Daolin spoke up to remind him.

"Not for now."

The Wang family patriarch intervened, saying, "The Three Realms aren't so easily persuaded. We can wait until they can actually get the Three Realms to move before we act. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to act now?"

"Uncle Wang is right."

Jiang Daolin's eyes lit up with realization, and he thought to himself that experience is indeed the best teacher.

In another dark place.

Zhou Qing showed no intention of making a move.

He is only responsible for protecting Chang Wen and the others' safety; he will not help them eliminate the troubles. This is his current stance.

……

Chang Wen and his companions were completely unaware that so many powerful figures were secretly watching them. They headed to the Southern Demon Ruins on their own, inquiring about the situation along the way.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fifth sister, and little sister, it's a pleasure to have you all visit my home. I'll definitely treat you to a proper feast when you get there."

After Lin Yuan was not rejected for revealing his identity, his inner conflict was completely resolved, and he became more talkative.

When Chang Wen and the others get home, we need to prepare ten large pork knuckles for each of them, the kind that will fill them up.

"Who is your fifth junior sister?"

Before anyone could speak, Shen Nianqing's voice rang out softly, startling Lin Yuan so much that he quickly hid behind Chang Wen.

"I was here first, you came later. Is it really necessary for you to keep trying to take my fourth senior brother's place?"

Everyone...

He's been beaten so many times, why hasn't he changed his ways?
