"Very well, then we shall depart in a few days. Now that I have awakened, you need not worry about matters here. However, in the Upper Immortal Realm, should word reach them that you have returned here, it may well stir up trouble." Xuanyuan Mo Ze said.
"Rest assured, nothing will co of it. I made all necessary arrangents before descending. But this ti, upon returning, I intend to settle scores with certain individuals." Her voice was calm, yet the killing intent within it was unmistakable.
"You could wait until we’re both back up there before seeking retribution," he offered. "I’ve been holding back my ascension, but with the refinent from the lightning tribulation last ti, it should be much easier this go-around."
"Do you need to stay behind with you?" Feng Jiu asked, clasping his hand.
At her words, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s lips curved slightly as he looked at her. "Rest assured! This ti, I won’t cause you any worry." He could feel the imnse power surging within him, far greater than before.
"Leave Qi Kang and the others behind when the ti cos. We can’t all depart. They must remain here to guard this place. Firstly, to protect the Feng family ancestral ho, and secondly, to safeguard the surrounding lands, preventing anyone from seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble."
Listening to his words, Feng Jiu nodded. "Yes, that was my plan too."
The two chatted in the courtyard, discussing their future plans. Co evening, everyone gathered for the al. Feng Jiu observed Zhuo Junyue seated beside Sage Hun Yuan and inquired, "Jun Yue, have you no plans to marry? Is there a lady who has captured your heart?"
Zhuo Junyue sipped his wine, pausing briefly at her question before replying, "No."
"You stubborn mule, your mind truly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed." Sage Hun Yuan shot him a glance and chuckled, turning to Feng Jiu. "Little Feng, you’ve got plenty of beautiful and talented girls around you. Why not play matchmaker for him?"
Hearing this, the assembled guests exchanged glances. All eyes imdiately fell upon Qin Xin and Leng Shuang. Qingcheng and Feifei, still recovering from injuries, hadn’t joined them tonight.
"So who’s caught your eye among my companions? Setting your sights on soone in my circle?" Feng Jiu shot him a half-smiling, half-mocking glance. Seeing Zhuo Junyue rely burying his head in his wine, the amusent at the corner of her lips deepened.
"Hahaha! Everyone knows the girls by your side are top-notch. The only question is who’ll be lucky enough to marry them!" Hun Yuan roared with laughter.
Feng Jiu sipped her wine and said, "I don’t force matchmaking. They must consent willingly. If anyone has the skill to win their approval, not only will I not stand in their way, but I’ll also present them with a grand gift to ensure their wedding is a glorious affair."
"Ah, what a pity," Sage Hun Yuan sighed softly, running a hand through his beard. "This old man is past his pri. My once-radiant beauty is long gone."
Hearing him lant his faded glory, Feng Jiu nearly spit out the wine she’d just taken a sip of. Clearing her throat, she set down her cup and chuckled, "What a sha—I never got to see your legendary beauty in its heyday."
At this remark, everyone burst into laughter. That night, they laughed and joked until late, when they finally retired to their respective quarters.
Several days later, Xuanyuan Mo Ze had fully recovered. Feng Jiu then bid farewell to Sage Hun Yuan and the others: "We plan to return ho. I will head straight back to the Upper Immortal Realm. Everyone, until we et again."
