"Junior brother, you’ve been weary from travel, so just rest assured and take it easy at the sect for the ti being!" Master Guanghuai said blandly, waving his duster outward.
"Senior brother?!"
Saintly Virtue Daoist detected sothing amiss in the Sect Leader Guanghuai’s words.
"Before the matter of the Double Fish Jade Pendant in Qingcheng becos fully public," Master Guanghuai revealed his intention, "I will lead our junior brothers and select elite disciples from the sect to go forth this ti. Our Dao Yi Sect is determined to succeed!"
"Senior brother, then I..."
Saintly Virtue Daoist tried to speak up, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Sect Leader Guanghuai: "While we’re not in the sect during this period, I’ll leave it to you, junior brother, to worry about!"
Seeing Master Guanghuai’s smile like a spring breeze, yet commanding him in an indisputable tone, Saintly Virtue Daoist’s expression was truly more bitter than weeping!
In contrast to Saintly Virtue Daoist’s disappointnt, the others were in high spirits, ready to set off, even Master Saintly Sea, who usually sided with Saintly Virtue, had a bit of excitent flushing his cheeks.
Everyone knew that the Double Fish Jade Pendant had endless wondrous uses and was the key to opening the Kunlun Secret Realm, but no one had ever seen it in person. How could one not feel thrilled at such a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity?!
As Master Guanghuai’s orders were issued, those present hurriedly left to pick troops, appoint generals, and pack up, no longer having ti to mock Saintly Virtue Daoist.
Master Saintly Sea wanted to say a few words of comfort, but ultimately failed to say anything, just patted Saintly Virtue on the shoulder and hurriedly left.

At this mont, Xiao Tian, who was still in the hospital room accompanying Lin Bingxuan, received a call from Le Yaoyao.
Looking at the caller ID with the cute little cat suffix he had added after Le Yaoyao’s na, Xiao Tian felt a bit nervous.
How was he supposed to face Le Yaoyao, Lin Bingxuan’s closest niece, given Lin Bingxuan’s current situation?
Listening to the increasingly urgent ringtone, Xiao Tian decided to hide the truth for now and confess the truth to her after he finds a way to solve the problem!
The call connected, and Le Yaoyao, who was ready to angrily question Xiao Tian for taking so long to answer, heard sothing she dared not dream of...
"I miss you!"
Xiao Tian said quickly, followed by a long silence on the other end.
In the past, when that girl called him, the first sentence would always be, "Uncle-in-law, did you miss ?"
This sentence was almost an unchanging opening, and this ti, in his nervousness, Xiao Tian blurted it out, leaving Le Yaoyao at a loss on the other end!
Le Yaoyao felt her face beco so hot it started to burn, and she stamred, unable to speak clearly.
"Unc-uncle-in-law, you, you, you..."
Xiao Tian thought Le Yaoyao was going to say that usual opening line again, so he repeated word-for-word, "I said, I miss you!"
"Beep beep beep..."
As soon as Xiao Tian finished speaking, he heard a series of busy tones from the receiver, and sowhat bewildered, he casually placed the phone on the table beside him.
Little did he know that on the other end, Le Yaoyao was about to go crazy.
When she first heard Xiao Tian say "I miss you," Le Yaoyao thought she was hallucinating, and then, in disbelief, she confird again, hearing Xiao Tian clearly and precisely say "I miss you" once more...
Young Miss Le Yaoyao very honestly shook her hand, ending the call.
"What do I do now? He actually said ’I miss you,’ words only spoken between lovers. Is he confessing to ?"
Le Yaoyao held her head, pacing swiftly in the living room, mumbling as if having a severe anxiety episode.
"If he really confesses, should I accept?"
Le Yaoyao’s heart was in turmoil; on one hand, she hoped it was true because this was sothing she only dread of achieving.
On the other hand, she hoped it was just a joke from Xiao Tian, given that he was her aunt’s boyfriend.
Just as the young girl was panicked and at a loss, Xiao Tian, looking at the comatose Lin Bingxuan, felt uneasy about Le Yaoyao’s abrupt hang up, so he called back.
"Unc-uncle-in-law, you, you, do you have sothing to say?"
Le Yaoyao still stamred a bit.
Xiao Tian was sowhat astonished, thinking it was this girl who called him first, without saying anything, then suddenly hung up, and now asking him if he has sothing to say?
"No, I was just asking if you were okay?"
Hearing Xiao Tian’s voice, Le Yaoyao quickly replied, "No, no problem!"
"Oh right!" Le Yaoyao suddenly rembered the reason she had called Xiao Tian initially, saying, "Our company has received a new event. The day after tomorrow, if you and my aunt are free, you should co together!"
Upon hearing Le Yaoyao ntion Lin Bingxuan, Xiao Tian paused for a mont and said sowhat bitterly, "Your aunt has so company issues to sort out, and I have a couple of tricky cases at the police station, so..."
"It’s okay, if you’re both busy then forget it!" Le Yaoyao said, "Well, uncle-in-law, bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye!" Xiao Tian said relieved.
"Wait, wait!" Le Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle-in-law, were you serious about what you said earlier?"
Xiao Tian thought for a mont, unsure if he had made any jokes during the call, and answered, "Yes! Why?"
"No, nothing!" Hearing Xiao Tian’s acknowledgnt, Le Yaoyao quickly hung up, unsure whether to feel happy or sad.
Once again, bewildered by the unexpected disconnection, Xiao Tian looked at the phone in confusion.
But he was reassured knowing the little girl wasn’t in any danger!

Keke opened the door and saw Le Yaoyao’s face as red as a monkey’s bottom, imdiately teasing, "Oh wow, look at that blush, are you dating soone? Who is it? Do you have a photo?"
Listening to her best friend’s barrage of gossip, Le Yaoyao denied everything and asked, "Isn’t the event about to start, why aren’t you rehearsing but instead coming to ?"
Keke coughed twice to clear her throat and said, "Dear President Le, I am thinking about your safety. Earning money is important, but personal safety is even more important!"
Le Yaoyao, hearing her friend’s mysterious and profound-sounding words, slightly disgruntled, asked, "What are you talking about? I didn’t catch a word!"
Seeing Le Yaoyao beco serious, Keke straightened her playful deanor and seriously inquired, "I ask you, where are we going for this event?"
"Lu Province, of course!" Le Yaoyao looked at Keke, a look as if staring at a fool, saying, "Didn’t I just tell you over lunch? How did you forget so soon?"
Keke, seeing her bestie in such a cute and naive state, imdiately said anxiously, "I ask you seriously, Yaoyao, are you really this dense or just pretending?"
