Each Talks About Their Own

Ye Qingxue, Bai Ling'er, and Yue Lingxi exchanged glances.

Ye Qingxue took a step forward, her cold and clear voice carrying understanding and support.

"Master, since traveling between the Heavenly Demon Pavilion's teleportation array and the Holy Land's teleportation array takes but an instant.

There are still many matters and newly added Outer Realm affairs to handle back at the Holy Land, so the three of us will return first."

As the core of the Holy Land, they bore heavy responsibilities. Moreover, they knew that their Master's strength was now god-like; handling the Myriad Demon Alliance and searching for the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples would be no problem for him.

Rather than staying, it was better to go back and sort out the Holy Land's affairs properly to prepare for any greater moves their Master might make in the future.

Gu Changyuan understood their considerations and nodded in agreement.

"Very well. Return to the Holy Land first and stabilize the situation. Follow my previous instructions to gradually advance the various reforms and integrations.

If there is anything urgent, contact me at any time."

As he spoke, he waved his right hand, sending the three women back to the Celestial Holy Land through the teleportation array. A surge of spiritual energy entered the pillar of light alongside them, returning to the Holy Land with them and quickly replenishing the energy consumed by the teleportation.

Indeed, this teleportation array was not just for Gu Changyuan alone. He could transport himself and the living beings around him across any distance directly to where the array was set up.

Next was the trip to the Myriad Demon Alliance.

Gu Changyuan planned to bring his ten personal disciples from the Heavenly Demon Pavilion along with him.

Firstly, it was to let them witness and even participate in resolving this opponent that had entangled them for years, establishing their prestige and settling their karma.

Secondly, it was to take this opportunity to broaden their horizons.

There was also another point: to help Luo Qingchen completely step out of her internal friction. Mere talking could not fully resolve it.

Therefore, Gu Changyuan intended to completely eradicate it through practical action at the Myriad Demon Alliance this time.

As a result, Gu Xing'er would need someone to take care of her for a few days.

Gu Changyuan immediately thought of that well-behaved and sensible little grand-disciple whom he had just tricked — Tushan Hanyan.

With a thought, he appeared on the second floor of the First Pavilion, which was Tushan Hanyan's official residence.

However, she usually preferred to stick close to her master, Tushan Youyao, so she permanently resided on the top floor.

Sensing someone entering, Tushan Hanyan, who was sitting on a soft couch by the window holding a scroll of ancient demon text (but was actually daydreaming), thought her master had returned. A look of joy had just appeared on her face, but when she turned her head to look—

It was the grandmaster who had tricked her yesterday!

The smile on Tushan Hanyan's face instantly vanished. She curled her small lips, let out a Hmph, and immediately turned her body around, giving Gu Changyuan the back of her head.

Her entire body seemed to have the words "I'm angry and don't want to talk to you" written all over it.

Looking at her puffed-up appearance, Gu Changyuan was not annoyed at all. Instead, an amused smile appeared on his face.

He slowly walked up to Tushan Hanyan and asked, feigning ignorance:

"What's wrong, Little Yan? You look like you're in a bad mood. Who has the audacity to make our lovely Little Yan angry? Tell Grandmaster, and Grandmaster will help you teach him a lesson!"

His tone was filled with righteous indignation, as if he had completely forgotten that he was the main culprit.

Hearing this, Tushan Hanyan became even angrier.

She immediately turned in another direction, still facing away from Gu Changyuan, and deliberately shrugged her shoulders to show that she was very angry and the consequences would be severe.

Gu Changyuan reached out his hand, wanting to rub her little head as usual.

Sensing his movement, Tushan Hanyan immediately shook her head vigorously, throwing off Gu Changyuan's hand, while letting out dissatisfied whimpering sounds from her mouth.

Gu Changyuan sighed, looking very regretful.

Then, he waved his right hand seemingly casually.

In an instant, an overbearing and enticingly rich aroma filled the entire room.

In Gu Changyuan's hand, a shiny, glistening meat skewer had appeared out of nowhere.

This was a new variety that had not appeared in the snacks he had given Tushan Hanyan before. To Tushan Hanyan, that fragrance was simply irresistible.

Her nose twitched violently out of control a few times, and a clear sound of swallowing saliva came from her throat.

Her body almost instinctively wanted to turn around, but her reason was still stubbornly resisting.

Unable to hold back, she slightly turned her head, casting a quick glance at the skewer emitting a deadly aroma from the corner of her eye, and then hurriedly turned back.

Only, a bit of drool couldn't help but leak from the corner of her mouth.

Gu Changyuan took in all of her reactions, secretly laughing in his heart.

He deliberately sighed again and made a gesture to put the skewer away:

"Alas, it seems Little Yan really doesn't want to eat... Forget it, Grandmaster will eat it himself. What a pity, I even specially prepared many different flavors here..."

"Gulp!"

Tushan Hanyan swallowed another large mouthful of saliva.

Seeing that the enticing skewer was really about to disappear into her grandmaster's hands, the already wavering anger in Tushan Hanyan's heart was instantly washed away by her craving for delicious food.

She abruptly turned around, grabbed Gu Changyuan's arm holding the skewer, aimed at the meat, and took a big bite with an Awoo.

An unprecedented deliciousness instantly conquered her taste buds.

"Mmm—!"

Tushan Hanyan's eyes narrowed into two happy slits, and the large white tail behind her began to wag rapidly and joyfully, completely out of her control.

Hmph! Seeing as the skewer is so delicious, I'll reluctantly forgive Grandmaster this time.

Looking at her like this, it felt as though she could be kidnapped with just two packs of spicy strips.

Seeing that the little girl had already been bribed by the food and regained her vitality, Gu Changyuan finally spoke with a smiling face:

"Little Yan, I'm going out with your master and martial aunts later to handle some troublesome matters. During this time, I need you to help take care of Gu Xing'er, alright?"

As he spoke, he gently waved his right hand, and Gu Xing'er appeared in front of him, blinking her large, expressive eyes and curiously sizing up Tushan Hanyan.

Gu Changyuan crouched down, rubbed Gu Xing'er's head, and said gently:

"Will Xing'er play with Sister Yan'er? Brother has to go out and handle some things, I will be back soon."

Gu Xing'er nodded heavily, her voice soft and sweet:

"Okay, Daddy. Xing'er will obediently listen to Sister Yan'er."

Recently, Gu Xing'er's mental maturity had grown to the normal level of a child her age. Although she still clung to Gu Changyuan, she was no longer inseparable from him as before, becoming a bit more well-behaved and sensible.

It was just the matter of how they addressed each other—each used their own terms. Gu Changyuan had long been too lazy to complain about it and could only let nature take its course.
