"ng’er and Xiao Hua disappeared, so my father sent Ming’er to the outside world to look after them."
"Oh."
"Aren’t you worried about our daughter’s safety?"
"Have you ever cared about our daughter’s safety?" Xiao Han chose not to answer Qing Cheng’s question. "From the beginning, I disagreed with your decision to use our daughter to get close to Sun Xiang to facilitate your and my father-in-law’s plan to annex the Sun Clan, but you ignored my concerns and sent her anyway. Besides, you also forced her to marry her younger half-brother, which made her reluctant to return to this clan for the past years. I don’t want anything to happen to her, but I don’t want her to suffer because of the decision of the two of you. Even though it’s painful for to lose her, I’d rather have her die than have her follow your wishes."
Xiao Han frowned upon hearing that, but he didn’t say anything to refute her and left Qing Cheng’s room.
After her husband left, Qing Cheng got out of bed and walked towards the window, taking out Xiao ng’s picture from the table near it. "Where exactly were you, ng’er? Did sothing bad happen to you? Please forgive your useless mother because I couldn’t protect you from their ambitions."

Night falls quickly; Tang Xiao’s clone had finished his training and rested by the river. As he cleansed the beast’s blood from his face and hands, he monitored Shen Ling, who was cultivating in her room in the Miao Clan. Since she arrived at the clan, she never left her room and continued cultivating there.
Tang Xiao’s clone raised an eyebrow when he felt a powerful aura approaching him, but he didn’t panic and waited for the owner of the aura to co to his location.
Before long, a young man riding a white lion arrived at his location, and he was a little surprised to see Tang Xiao’s clone there. "Oh? I don’t usually et people here, Brother."
"I just finished training around here, and I saw this river from a distance, so I ca here to clean myself." Xiao Ai imdiately displayed the man’s status for Tang Xiao’s clone. ’Miao Xianyun, and his cultivation in the Middle Emperor Realm.’
"I see." Miao Xianyun jumped down from the white lion’s back. "What’s your na, Brother? Did you just break through? Your cultivation is at the Peak Xiantian Level, but I can sense that it isn’t stable yet."
"My na is Feng Xiao." Miao Xianyun was taken aback upon hearing his surna. "You’re right, Brother. I co from the Feng Clan in the south, and I’m here to find a new training ground. As for my cultivation, I broke through a week ago, so it hasn’t stabilized completely yet."
"Do you really co from the Feng Clan?" Tang Xiao’s clone showed Miao Xianyun the Feng Clan plaque that Feng Shen gave him so ti ago. "Haha! I didn’t expect to et a mber of that clan here, especially since the distance between this place and your clan is so great, and your cultivation is not yet stable. My na is Miao Xianyun, and I co from the Miao Clan, which is not far from here."
"I’ve heard about the Miao Clan from Uncle Feng Shen, but I’m not familiar with your clan."
"Senior ’Wind God’ Feng Shen, huh? I’ve never t him, but I often hear his na, and I admire his speed." Miao Xianyun pointed to the white lion. "Bai Shi is my friend from childhood, and we were together since he was a cub."
Tang Xiao’s clone looked at the white lion, which was lying down while cleaning its fur using its tongue. "Your beast contract is as powerful as you, Brother."
"We grew up and cultivated together since childhood, so our cultivation is evenly matched. However, he’s stronger than because of his large physique, and I’ll die if he’s not careful with ." Miao Xianyun walked to the riverside and washed his face. "Do you always train by fighting wild beasts, Brother?"
Tang Xiao’s clone nodded at him. "Actually, Uncle Shen asked to try the Ming Clan’s battle arena to fight rogue cultivators, but I wasn’t very confident in my fighting skills, so I chose to train from one forest to another."
"I see." Miao Xianyun nodded in understanding. "I don’t think it’s a problem, and those wild beasts are perfect opponents to hone our fighting skills. If we’re not ready to face other cultivators and force ourselves to fight them, we might be seriously injured or die in their hands. I myself have never tried fighting in the Xing Clan’s battle arena, but I often hear that the rogue cultivators there are very strong and vicious, and so of them don’t hesitate to kill their opponents. I’ve wanted to try fighting there for a long ti, but my parents forbade from going there because our clan didn’t have many mbers, and they were afraid I would die at the hands of those rogue cultivators."
Tang Xiao’s clone smiled faintly. "Right now, my cultivation is still unstable, so I won’t force myself to go to that kind of place. I might try going there after my cultivation stabilizes, and I’ll try fighting those rogue cultivators. If my abilities are still insufficient, I’ll return to the forest and fight those wild beasts again."
"Are you going to stay in an open place like this, Brother?"
"My clan is too far south, and I don’t know anyone from this region. Moreover, I’m used to living in open places like this to hone my vigilance, which will be very useful for ."
"That’s true." Miao Xianyun nodded in agreent. "Do you want to stay overnight at my Miao Clan? My parents will be happy to accept you because you are a mber of the Feng Clan."
[Master, I think you should accept Miao Xianyun’s offer so you can keep a close eye on Shen Ling, and they won’t be suspicious of you.]
"Won’t my presence trouble your clan, Brother?"
"Hahaha," Miao Xianyun laughed and embraced him. "My Miao Clan used to be a first-grade clan, and we have quite a close relationship with your Feng Clan, so they would be happy if you were willing to spend the night in our clan even just for a night."
"In that case, I will visit and stay at your Miao Clan, Brother."
"Good... Good...! Do you have a beast contract, Brother?" Tang Xiao’s clone shook his head at Miao Xianyun because Xue Bai was not an ordinary beast, but her race was the very rare winged snow leopard. "Then, you can join , and Bai Shi will take us back to my Miao Clan."
Tang Xiao’s clone looked at Bai Shi, who was ready to leave, but the beast didn’t seem to care about him. "Alright."
.
.

Since the distance between their previous location and the Miao Clan wasn’t far, they were able to arrive at the clan quickly. After they got off the white lion’s back, Miao Xianyun asked Bai Shi to rest before leading Tang Xiao’s clone into the clan.
When they arrived at the main hall, Tang Xiao’s clone saw Shen Ling talking with Miao Cangyu and Fei Yan. As usual, Xiao Ai imdiately displayed the status of the two Miao Clan mbers for him.
’They’re quite strong, with his cultivation at the Middle Tyrant Level and his wife’s cultivation at the Lower Tyrant Level.’ Tang Xiao clone stole a glance at Shen Ling, who also stole a glance at him. ’Heh!’
"Who is this guest you brought, Xianyun?" Fei Yan asked.
"Mother, his na is Feng Xiao, and I t him at the East River. Since he’s a mber of the Feng Clan, I invited him to spend the night in our clan."
Miao Cangyu and Fei Yan seriously observed Tang Xiao’s clone, who imdiately showed them the Feng Clan plaque. However, they didn’t believe him so easily, and one of them contacted soone from the clan to confirm his identity.
"Yan Huoling has confird that Feng Xiao is a mber of the Feng Clan, Husband."
Miao Cangyu nodded to his wife before speaking to Tang Xiao’s clone. "Please forgive us for doubting your identity, but we did so for the safety of our Miao Clan."
"No problem, Senior." Tang Xiao’s clone saved the plaque directly. "Please forgive for coming uninvited, two seniors."
"Xianyun, Feng Xiao seems tired after practicing, so you can take him to the guest room to rest."
"Yes, Father."
After they left, Miao Cangyu spoke directly to Shen Ling. "I called you here because my n reported to about the Tang Clan. However, they found nothing there because Tang Huang isn’t there, and they don’t know when he will return. Even so, I asked them to keep an eye on the clan, and they will report to if he returns. If you feel bored in this clan, you can go back to the outside world first, and I will tell the results to my ancestor later."
"I understand, Senior." Shen Ling sighed inwardly. "Actually, I’m happy with the situation of this clan, and I want to look around the surrounding areas. However, this is my first ti coming to Earth II, so I’m a little nervous about going alone, and I’ve spent a few days in my inn room before."
"If you’re comfortable and happy living in our clan, you can stay here as long as you like, Ling’er."
"Thank you, Senior."
