"Do you think it's easy to just take someone up there?" He snorted lightly, his gaze turned cold as he looked at her. Seeing his reaction, Feng Jiu offered a disarming smile. "Aren't you a powerful being from above? While others may be restricted from descending, you clearly possess the means to do so. That suggests a power beyond the ordinary. Besides," she continued, her tone persuasive, "taking one person is no different than taking two. Surely it would pose no significant challenge for someone of your capabilities." He remained silent for a moment, then with a dismissive wave of his hand, he dispelled the invisible barrier in the air. Simultaneously, he raised his hand and gently propelled Feng Jiu out of the courtyard. Regaining her balance, a flicker of understanding ignited in Feng Jiu's eyes. She glanced back at the courtyard and observed the sudden formation of a new barrier, swirling currents of air rippling across its surface, gradually obscuring any view within. Any lingering doubts she might have harbored vanished with this display of power. To effortlessly move someone of her cultivation level out of the courtyard was an undeniable testament to his strength. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 With this realization, she chose not to linger and turned to depart. Although she had failed to uncover his true identity, she now possessed knowledge of his origins and the fact that his current physical form was not his own. As for the remaining mysteries, she had half a year to observe and assess. If this enigmatic individual proved worthy of entrusting her three children to, she would need to begin making the necessary arrangements. As for her adversaries... Knowing the nature and the realm of existence of her enemies provided her with a crucial target for her future actions. Over the subsequent two days, Feng Jiu dedicated her time to the three children, ensuring they received ample rest. She took them on outings throughout the city and spent a tranquil day with them at Peach Blossom Ridge. It wasn't until the third day that Wanyan Qianhua and the others began to return. With the arrival of Guan Xilin, Du Fan, Leng Shuang, and the rest of their companions, the mansion buzzed with renewed energy and laughter. That evening, after the celebratory banquet, Wanyan Qianhua drew Feng Jiu aside, her expression curious. "Who is that masked man? There's something about him that feels…unusual." Feng Jiu glanced towards the masked man, who was patiently assisting Yue'er with her meal. She smiled softly. "Didn't I tell you? He is the children's savior. He wishes to take Yue'er as his disciple, and I intend to agree to his request." "You are already exceptionally skilled; why would you doubt your ability to teach three children?" Wanyan Qianhua said, her tone laced with disapproval. "Yue'er is still so young; how can you bear to let her go with someone who appeared out of nowhere?" She paused, then added with concern, "Besides, I find this man strange, and I cannot discern the depth of his cultivation. Are you certain about this decision?" "Sister, let's discuss this later. Today, let's simply enjoy the reunion. I plan to take the three children to Black Tortoise Continent tomorrow so that Hao'er can finally meet his parents. The three children also incurred some debts of gratitude while they were stranded in the mortal realm, and I want to take them to repay those favors as well." Feng Jiu sighed softly. "You are also aware that Mo Ze is currently missing. I have no idea of his whereabouts. I don't know how to explain this to the three children. I also need to travel to Sky Mountain, so I likely won't be home for a long while." Hearing this, Wanyan Qianhua also sighed, her initial disapproval softening. "I understand. Since you have given so much thought, I won't press the matter further. You have a great many responsibilities to manage, so please do what you must. Don't worry about things here. Even if you are too occupied to return, we will make time to visit your grandfather, father, and mother. Moreover, your brother's residence is nearby, so he will undoubtedly oversee things should any issues arise."
