"I said I've seen them, they're fine. You still don't believe me? Would I lie to you?" a man said somewhat emotionally. Bai Ruozhu looked intently and realized it was Jian Zhen, whom she had saved before.

Dujin rode over on a leopard, "Madam Bai, it's good you're alright. This sandstorm was so big, it scared us to death."

"We're fine. How is the condition of the tribe?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"The king led us to collectively resist the wind. Fortunately, no one died, only a few were slightly injured, and Lady Ao Song and the others are fine. Now the tribe is about to migrate, and the king is worried about you all, so he sent me out to find you. On the way, we encountered this man from the Western Regions, and he said he's the one you saved." Dujin explained the situation quickly.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "It's good that everything's alright, let's go back first."

Everyone returned together, and Dujin soon noticed Bai Ruozhu was in a bad mood. He thought it was a couple's quarrel and didn't dare to ask too much.

Bai Ruozhu secretly sized up Jian Zhen ahead; he seemed to get along well with the Barbarian Tribe. However, when he nodded in greeting to her, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He must have already buried his sister.

It took the group more than three hours to catch up with the migrating Barbarian Tribe, and this time Bai Ruozhu saw a different situation.

Actually, she had never encountered a large migration by the Barbarian Tribe, but she knew their long-time habit: aristocrats riding beast pets recklessly while civilians carrying large amounts of luggage, doing the hardest work.

This time, however, the Beast Team did not leave early. Each of them carried some belongings, and some people let their beast pets pull carts. Even if they didn't share much, this already changed the situation significantly.

The Barbarian Clan had faced several great trials, and its sparse population had become even sparser. If they still couldn't unite now and continued to maintain class distinctions, how could they rise again in this harsh land?

Seeing Bai Ruozhu return safely, Sangta smiled at her from afar and quickly approached.

"It's good you're alright. How is the child?" Sangta asked.

"We encountered a sandstorm on the road, but the child was in a safe place." Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile.

Jiang Yichun stepped between them and said to Sangta, "You're not in good health; you better let the beast pet carry you."

Sangta smiled and nodded to Bai Ruozhu, then turned to find Xuanfeng.

Jiang Yichun, feeling a bit strange, couldn't believe that the kid who used to quarrel with him now left without a word. That was so unlike him!

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun and whispered, "Your jealousy is quite strong."

Nanny Zhang came over to hold Dengdeng, her eyes red, and said, "Young master seems to have grown taller, nanny missed you so much."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh. It had only been a few days; how could he grow so fast? But Nanny Zhang's feelings for Little Dengdeng were genuine.

Now her Space has changed again; besides Dengdeng and others who share her bloodline, it allowed people to stay inside when she left. If needed in the future, she decided to let Nanny Zhang go to care for the child, as she trusted Nanny Zhang could be relied upon.

Little Dengdeng hugged Nanny Zhang's neck, "Nanny, I missed you too, look, my strength has grown."

Speaking, he lifted his small arm, showing off a muscle gesture, amusing everyone around.

Jiang Yichun discussed with Gao Zhou and others, all decided not to follow the Barbarian Tribe's migration, fearing Bai Ruozhu might be uneasy, so they asked her opinion.

"It's late today, time to camp and rest, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." Bai Ruozhu said.

She was worried about Sangta, but she knew Sangta had to stand up himself, so whether she stayed made no difference.

Everyone expressed agreement; upon hearing they were leaving, the Barbarian Tribe organized a Bonfire Party that night.

Someone roasted a whole sheep over the fire, and the scent of mutton made people's mouths water. When the sheep was cooked, Sangta instructed to divide the mutton into small portions, giving each civilian a share.

Many people showed surprise, as previously in the Barbarian Tribe, civilians had the right to herd sheep but not eat mutton with aristocrats, especially after such a sandstorm and loss of sheep.

"Why are you all stunned? Eat the meat to replenish energy, and better travel a longer distance tomorrow." Sangta said loudly.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at him and quietly gave thumbs up. Sangta indeed changed a lot, but she felt this change was not her doing; it was more due to the tribulations he went through that mellowed him, descending from a proud son of heaven.

The Barbarian Tribe cheered, and everyone ate meat and drank wine. The Bonfire Party continued late into the night.

When night fell silent, a figure swiftly flashed out. If Bai Ruozhu saw it, she would definitely praise the person's flying skill.

"Not bad, you seemed to enjoy yourself." A shadow said enviously in the dark.

Jian Zhen snorted coldly, "I've already gained their trust. I'll set off with them tomorrow. You should leave quickly to avoid being discovered and ruin everything."

"You're lucky to encounter a sandstorm, but how did they hide at the time? It felt like they disappeared into thin air. Don't you think they have some secret hidden? You need to investigate thoroughly."

Jian Zhen didn't see what happened, and he was pretending to be unconscious, so he could only nod, "I'll keep an eye on them."

"I'll contact you when I can, leaving now." The shadow flickered and disappeared into the night.

Jian Zhen took the opportunity to relieve himself, then quietly returned to the tent.

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu and the Barbarian Tribe said their goodbyes, embarking on the journey home.

Compared to when they came, the group had a few more people. There was Ao Song, her four maids, and Jian Zhen, who could perform the Holding Breath Skill.

Jian Zhen asked Mo Beishan to bring him along, but Mo Beishan didn't dare to agree casually, so he asked Jiang Yichun. Jiang Yichun thought of the sandstorm incident and agreed. Thinking of helping Jian Zhen made Ruozhu feel relieved.

As for Ao Song, she spoke with Bai Ruozhu, but without a tone of negotiation, riding in on a Miao Tuo next to Bai Ruozhu, she said, "Sister Bai, I want to go with you."

Bai Ruozhu was slightly surprised, "Did you not solve the Barbarian Clan's Evil Technique, not going home?"

"I still need to find my aunt who has been away from home for many years. I suspect she went to Danliang." Ao Song suddenly looked at Gao Zhou not far away, "Uncle, I heard the Sangdian's thousand-person Blood Sacrifice was cracked by you; how did you learn such a method?"

Gao Zhou, who had recovered his voice, lowered his head slightly, not looking at Ao Song, "An elder taught me the method. Why? Is there a problem?"

"Was the elder a woman?" Ao Song's eyes brightened.

Gao Zhou said in a deep voice, "It was an older gentleman than me; you must have mistaken someone."
