After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Lin Chu knew that Qing Cang was very strong.

A Celestial Emperor-level being is someone who can command the respect of an entire realm in the vast Void Spirit Realm.

But I also remember the scene from that memory fragment.

That old Taoist priest.

They were both at the Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, its aura is much stronger than Qingcang's.

Just because of Ji Ning's single thought, it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Not even their souls remained.

If Ji Ning had really lost control here just now.

If Qingcang really died at the hands of the Lin family.

That joke went too far.

The consequences were enough to make Lin Chuguang's scalp tingle just thinking about them.

Fortunately.

Fortunately.

Lin Chu suppressed her turbulent emotions, raised her hand, and gently pinched Ji Ning's little face.

"It's nothing."

"You were dozing off while standing."

Ji Ning shrank into his arms a little shyly.

"I...I didn't."

"You still say no, but your mouth is practically watering."

"No way!"

The little girl glared at him angrily, having completely forgotten her earlier fear.

Lin Chu smiled and patted her head again, having calmed down.

My thoughts were racing.

As if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Qingcang and spoke in a sincere tone.

"You should have noticed as well, my sister is just a normal child."

"She had a very deep bond with us."

"We're really having a hard time accepting that you're taking her away so suddenly."

Qingcang frowned.

Before he could speak, Lin Chu continued, "I'm not trying to stop you."

"I hope you can give us a few days to prepare ourselves mentally."

"Let this child say goodbye to us properly."

Qingcang didn't speak.

Lin Chu looked at Ji Muwan.

Ji Muwan understood and immediately stepped forward.

"Senior Qing".

She bowed to Qingcang.

"Ji Ning is the child I brought back from the secret realm."

"It was my idea to take her in as my goddaughter."

"Over the years, I have treated her like my own daughter."

"If you want to take her away, I can't say no."

"But what if we don't even have a few days?"

"As a mother, I really can't get over it."

Lin Lan stood to the side without saying a word.

He simply nodded to Qingcang.

The meaning is already quite clear.

Lin Zhentian hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Qing Cang.

"Senior Qing, look..."

"Three days."

"It just so happens that this is my first time visiting your Tianlan City as well."

"I used to hear those old guys say how great this place was."

Qingcang glanced at Lin Zhentian.

"I haven't really looked at it properly yet."

After saying that, he led the two people behind him past the crowd and headed out of the hall.

Lin Chu looked at that retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

He certainly knew why Qingcang had agreed.

This Celestial Emperor never worried that they would escape with Ji Ning.

Because as long as Ji Ning takes one step out of Tianlan City.

Qingcang's divine sense would immediately detect it.

But no matter how you look at it.

Three days.

enough.

Lin Chu had made up her mind.

He turned around, nodded slightly to Ji Muwan and Lin Lan, picked up Ji Ning, and left the main hall with Ao Tianxin.

The night wind swept through the tribe's territory.

Ji Ning nestled obediently on Lin Chu's shoulder.

Speechless all the way.

Until they returned to the courtyard.

Lin Chu put Ji Ning down before she spoke softly.

Her delicate, pretty face still showed a hint of timidity.

"elder brother."

"Did I do something wrong?"

Lin Chu squatted down and looked into her eyes.

"no."

"Ji Ning is very well-behaved, it's none of your business."

Ji Ning sniffed and pursed her lips.

"But Ji Ning heard everything clearly just now."

"If Ji Ning is truly being naughty, she can change."

"If Ji Ning affects my brother, my mother, and my father..."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke.

"Ji Ning can go with them."

"It's okay."

"Ji Ning has grown up, so don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he raised the back of his hand and vigorously wiped his eyes.

"That's right, Gun Gun... Gun Gun is still small."

"Brother, remember to feed Gun Gun for Ji Ning in the future."

"When it doesn't want to eat the spirit fruit, tap its nose with the immortal bamboo."

"The baby elephant too."

Ji Ning wanted to say goodbye to the baby elephant.

"May I?"

As she finished speaking, she tilted her head back, trying to hold back her tears.

But the tears still spilled out uncontrollably.

The little girl raised the back of her hand to wipe it, but it wasn't clean enough, so she wiped her nose again.

But her little face was still tense, as if she wanted to show that she was really "not afraid".

Ao Tianxin stood to the side, turning her face away.

Ji Muwan was standing outside the courtyard at some point.

The darkness obscured half of her face.

She heard it, strode in, and pulled Ji Ning into her arms.

They were holding each other very tightly.

"Ning'er".

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Chu knelt down in front of Ji Ning and cupped her small hands in her palms.

Very hard.

He said it word by word.

"You won't be taken away."

No one will do.

……

That evening, in the main hall.

Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan sat at the head of the table.

Ji Muwan and Lin Lan sat on either side.

Lin Chu stood in the center.

No nonsense.

He took out the baby elephant directly.

The silver-haired little guy sat in his palm, holding Lin Chu's fingers, his silver eyes wide open, curiously observing everyone in the hall.

All eyes turned to it at the same time.

"This is……"

"Chaotic Immortal Artifact"

The sky over Linzhen changed color.

"The spirit of the artifact takes form, and becomes intelligent and perceptive."

"This level is probably even above the Primordial Destiny Wheel."

Ji Hongxuan also stood up, staring intently at the baby elephant.

"Hey kid, where did you get this thing?"

"The grandson had a miraculous encounter."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Lin Zhentian suddenly burst into laughter, and Ji Hongxuan also smiled.

"Good lad."

No one pressed further.

Some things don't need to be said outright.

Because the person standing here is their own child.

Lin Chu smiled slightly and continued speaking.

He recounted the fragments of memories he had obtained from Ji Ning.

A world of four suns.

An old Taoist priest at the level of a Celestial Emperor.

Ji Ning with golden eyes.

And the scene of the old Taoist priest being blown into a bloody mist by a single glance.

"An existence above the Immortal Emperor."

Everyone's faces were solemn.

Lin Chu looked around and directly stated her plan.

"I plan to bring Ji Ning into the Imperial Road."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Muwan's eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

"The Imperial Path is only open to those below the Xuanxian level; even the Immortal Emperor cannot disobey it!"

After she finished speaking, her face darkened again.

"But……"

"This can only be delayed in the end."

"We can't stay on the Imperial Road forever and never come out."

Lin Chu spoke slowly.

"Mother, the matter concerning Ji Ning is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"If we can discover the true state of her body within the Imperial Road."

"There might still be a chance for things to turn around."

Lin Chu glanced around, finally looking at Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan.

"Grandpa, maternal grandpa."

"But what happened next..."

Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan exchanged a glance.

He then burst into laughter.

"You little brat, you don't trust your own family?"

Lin Zhentian raised his hand and flicked it, sending ten warm jade tablets flying out and landing neatly in Lin Chu's palm.

Go!

"This is the road pass for the Imperial Road."

"How do you use it? You don't need Grandpa to teach you, do you?"

Lin Chu caught the jade pendant; her fingertips felt slightly cool, but her heart warmed.

"We'll handle the rest."

"It's just entering the Imperial Road, not letting people return to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Zhentian had an arrogant look on his face.

"If the Lin family can't even withstand this much, what face do we have left to stand in the Void Spirit Realm?"

Ji Hongxuan smiled and patted Lin Chu on the shoulder.

"Go without worry, we've got you covered."

Ji Muwan finally smiled.

"You brat, take care of yourself and take good care of Ning'er too."

Lin Lan stood to the side without saying a word, only nodding to Lin Chu.

A nod is worth a thousand words.

Lin Chu gripped the jade token tightly and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Yes."
