"I've been waiting for you, Lady Xiuxi." A young man who was writing on a scroll greeted Zhao Yu, who had just appeared before him.
"Don't address me by that name anymore, Tian Ya." Zhao Yu said as she sat at the table. "I abandoned the name Jiange Xiuxi a long time ago, and you yourself also know my real name."
Tian Ya nodded in understanding. "Did you come to see me for Mo Chen?"
"Yes." Zhao Yu then told him. "Mo Chen will join this sect in three days, and one of his wives will follow him. However, you don't need to give him any special privileges, and you can treat him like other disciples, for I want him to grow even more. Even so, you must protect his wife in secret, and don't let those men approach her."
"Consider it done." Tian Ya then asked her again. "Do you still have any other orders for me?"
"I want you to place Tian Yueling in the same house as Mo Chen and his wife." Tian Ya wasn't surprised to hear that, for he had already gotten information from the main Tian Clan about them. "That little girl is too spoiled and rude, and she needs to change before becoming his partner, so I want you to do that."
"I will arrange it according to your orders." Tian Ya replied with a nod. "I didn't expect that Yueling's illness was related to those demons."
"I myself didn't expect that they would be able to infiltrate the Tian Clan." Zhao Yu sighed softly before continuing. "However, you don't need to think about those demons, and I have asked Ao Yangyu to investigate them more deeply. Besides, I have also asked Tian Huang to meet Tang Chen, so they can prepare everything early before clashing with them."

any other orders for me?"
"Does this mean you will stay in the upper realms again?"
"Yeah."
"I see."
Zhou Yu then remembered something. "Anyway, Nangong Nichang will probably join the sect later, and you should let her stay with the three of them."
After Zhao Yu disappeared, Tian Ya leaned back in his chair. "Who exactly is Mo Chen? Why does she care so much about him? She even did so many things for him without him knowing."

[Quest: Killing Three Hundred Beasts in the King Realm and Above]
[Time Limit: Three Days]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack x6]
'As expected, I won't get a new quest before the time limit runs out.' Ling Yun then looked around, but he couldn't find Xiao Xiao and the others, and he only found those two lazy male disciples.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu appeared in front of him, but Ling Yun pulled her onto his lap and gave her a deep kiss right away.
Moments later, Zhou Yu asked him. "What are you going to do now? Are you going to fight those beasts again?"
Ling Yun nodded and lifted Zhou Yu up. "I have to kill three hundred beasts today, and we will return to Tian City afterward."
"All right, you can fight them, and I will take care of those women."
After that, Ling Yun went to another forest area and transformed into his half-dragon form, for he wanted to finish the quest soon. That way, he had more free time for the next two days to accompany his women, plus he still had to take Yi Mingxia to see Zhiyu Yushen.

In Tian City, several people from various clans gathered in a restaurant, and they gathered because of the movements of the members of the Tian Clan in the past two days.
"Is the news really true, Du Huang?" An old man asked another.
"The news is absolutely true, Kong Jinzheng." Du Huang replied with a nod. "After so long, Tian Yueling has recovered now, but it turns out that her illness was caused by people from the Gu and Xin Clans of the Earth Cloud Realm, so Tian Huang ordered two of his sons to check for their traces throughout the city."
"The Tian Clan is the strongest among us; I didn't anticipate that they would be vulnerable to intruders." An old woman said it with a soft sigh before asking them. "Do you think those demons also place their spies in our clans?"
"That could happen, Xiong Jingqiu." Another old man answered her. "Even though nothing has happened within our clan for the past hundreds of years, this news is truly worrying, and we should re-examine our people. Otherwise, it will be too late for us to prevent them if they target our younger generations, as they did to Tian Yueling, and we will suffer losses ourselves."
The other three people agreed with that, but Xiong Jingqiu asked him. "Then what about your son's relationship with her, Zhong Baichen?"
"Why are you still asking that? You should already know that their relationship has ended since Yueling was exposed to the disease, right?" Zhong Baichen asked back with raised eyebrows.
Xiong Jingqiu nodded and replied to him. "Even so, I remember that your son, Zhong Cunhai, is still single now. Since they had been in a relationship in the past and she has recovered now, they can probably start a new relationship, and your clan will gain a lot of benefits from their relationship."
"Jingqiu is right, Baichen." Du Huang said as he nodded. "Among our four clans, only your son is of the same age as her, and he is still single, so I think you can take advantage of that."
"They will never be together again." Zhong Baichen replied with a heavy sigh. "Back then, Ran Chenxin was very angry with Cunhai when he ended his relationship with Yueling, and she even forbade my son to come to the Tian Clan again, so she will never approve of her daughter having any relationship with him again."
"Cunhai made a rash decision at that time." Kong Jinzheng said this while shaking his head. "Ran Chenxin loves and pampers her daughter so much, so it's natural for her to be angry with him, especially since he ended their relationship when Yueling was sick."
Zhong Baichen couldn't help but sigh when he heard that, and he then stood up. "We don't need to discuss their relationship, and we should immediately check our clans to ensure that there are no intruders in our clans."
Wasting no time, the four of them immediately left the restaurant, and they immediately ordered the people closest to them to double-check the identities of the guards and servants in their clans.
.
Elsewhere, two women were sitting together, and they were engaged in a serious conversation.
After a while, the woman with long black hair and wearing a plain white dress said to the other one. "Ao Yangyu, I can't decide now. Even though I am the leader of this organization, my status is just a mere status, and I have to discuss this matter with the members of the Misty Manor first. However, some of them, like Meng Xianzi, are far away now, so I have to wait for them to come back first to tell them about the matter."
"I know." Ao Yangyu then expressed her idea. "How about you come with us to meet Tang Chen first, Zhuang Yuan? That way, you can find out the matters in more detail, and you can discuss everything with the other members of the Misty Manor later."
"Hmm?" Zhuang Yuan raised her eyebrows for a moment before nodding to her. "All right, I also want to know Jiange Xiuxi's plans regarding those demons, but where is she now? Why didn't she come to see me?"
"Big Sis has indeed returned to the upper realms, but she doesn't want to take care of Sunset Valley anymore, and she left it completely to me." Ao Yangyu let out a heavy sigh after she said that. "I don't know where she is, but I believe she might be in the Tian Clan right now. You know that we would never be able to find her if she didn't want us to find her."
"The Tian Clan, huh?" Zhuang Yuan was not surprised to hear that. "She has indeed been close to the clan since Tian Long's appearance, even more so after he became their patriarch."
"That's right." Ao Yangyu then rose to her feet. "You can come to the Tian Clan tomorrow, and we will go straight to the Star Cloud Realm after."
After Ao Yangyu left, Zhuang Yuan immediately called several people to meet her and informed them of her departure plans, and she also contacted someone.
However, Zhuang Yuan's expression looked shocked after she got that person's answer, and she immediately disappeared from those people's sight.
.
Sometime later, Zhuang Yuan had arrived at the outskirts of the northern region, but she couldn't find anything there other than an expanse of white snow.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of her as she smiled, and she then approached Zhuang Yuan and hugged her. "Why did you contact me suddenly? Did you miss me?"
"Since when did you return to the upper realms, Xianzi? Why didn't you come straight to me? And why couldn't I feel your presence before?" Zhuang Yuan asked back with a frown as she pushed Meng Xianzi away.
"Haha." Meng Xianzi laughed softly at her questions. "I came back a few days ago, but I still have some important matters to attend to, so I can't return to the organization yet. So why are you suddenly looking for me? Is there something important?"
