His mind began to race, but he quickly understood the meaning of "how" in Mr. Cen's words.

The old man had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, displaying a facade of indifference, yet he was very attentive to his senior sister's requests.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior. This kind of evil spirit must be handled by experienced seniors like you; ordinary people wouldn't be able to catch her. I will report this matter to the sect and other senior brothers and sisters, so they remain vigilant to avoid harming the innocent."

He courteously bowed.

Cen Yongsheng also nodded in satisfaction with a "hmm."

"If that's the case, I will personally check it out. The cultivation technique that woman practices can change her appearance without a trace, and combined with the Soul Refining Technique, it's easy to replace someone's identity. Be careful not to fall into her trap."

"Thank you, Senior, for your concern. I will keep it in mind."

This kid may not be very skilled in cultivation, but he is quick-witted. Actually, he's not too invested in Liu Tangxi's request; it's simply a matter of principle.

Even without this layer of relationship with Cen Yueyue, he would still take action if necessary and help if needed. Yin Xue, who had been missing for years, re-emerged in the martial world and was clearly targeting the Phoenix Heavenly Cave, so he had to find a way to deal with it, both emotionally and rationally.

It's important to know that back then, the losses among the disciples were not limited to the Purple Cloud Palace; almost every family experienced casualties, including their own Cen Family Village.

Whenever encountering blood cultivators, all sect disciples would unite to attack them; this had become a consensus in the Cultivation World. Leaving aside past grievances, the unpredictability of this woman alone was reason enough for the elder to crush her.

Imagine that you go to school to watch your child participate in a sports meet, where a group of children of the same age fight with each other fiercely, but they are just kids and can't cause too much trouble.

In such a scenario, you suddenly find a grown man with a sharp knife mixed in with the kids, sneaking around among them with his short stature…

How would you react? That's exactly how Mr. Cen is reacting now.

A wolf among sheep. Even if his granddaughter hadn't cried out at the sight of the Blood Demon Curse, he would still have taken action. This curse was a top-tier evil technique that once refined tens of thousands of innocent people.

Moreover, Yin Xue was clearly prepared. Although he wasn't a righteous man, anyone who threatened the safety of the family's younger generations had to be eliminated without hesitation. He gently tapped the ground with his cane.

"Yue Yue, Zhuang Zhuang, let's go."

"Ah?"

The smile on a woman from the Southern Border instantly disappeared.

Originally, from what she heard, her grandfather was planning to pursue, which delighted her greatly. As soon as he left, she could immediately elope with Jiang Feng… Uh, no, find another place to continue their relationship.

The two of them could enjoy the exotic charm within Country Liang and challenge masters from other sects. With their skills as a couple, even encountering a Nascent Soul Stage opponent, they might still stand a chance, a heroic and celestial couple!

Just thinking about such a life was enchanting, but instead…

"What, do you have any objections?"

"What's the use of me following you?"

"Hmph, you troublemaking girl, if I hadn't come this time, you two would probably have died at Yin Xue's hands."

She shrank her neck and dared not speak up.

It was obvious that her grandfather was still somewhat angry, but not at them specifically. He was enraged that a top-tier evil cultivator like this had infiltrated their ranks undetected.

What were those useless bunch in the north doing?

Or did those scoundrels deliberately let her in to wreck their people?

This time, he went out with them, but what about next time? And in the future? Who can guarantee such luck every time?

Thinking of this, the old man inevitably felt a bit of anger and didn't even glance at his granddaughter as he blurted out:

"Later, you two will follow me. At the northern part of Country Liang, disciples from six sects and seven schools are gathering. The grandson of East Sea Zuihuayin and Old Snow Monster's precious grandson are your great enemies, and I'll personally take you to meet them."

"As for the demon clans, there's no need to worry about them for now. They're located in the west, and by the time the Candle Dragon reaches their territory, it'll take several months at least. Once you're deeper in, you should rarely encounter them. As for forming alliances, you don't need to worry about that either."

"I will personally negotiate with them. After going home this time, you won't be allowed out until you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"And you, other than Body Refining, you can't even handle Gu Worms; perhaps if you knew some Guardian techniques, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Cen Zhuangzhuang just kept nodding, behaving like a well-behaved cat. However, his sister, fiery by nature, found it difficult to accept, as it wasn't easy for her to get out, and after only a day with Jiang Feng, they had to part again?

She wanted to argue, but Jiang Feng just tugged her sleeve, their eyes met, and the man shook his head.

The stubbornness in her eyes immediately vanished, her lips pursed, and her expression instantly turned aggrieved.

"Senior Cen is right. Who knows if there are more evil cultivators lurking here? If you're separated, those demons will probably target you. Don't worry, when the grand ceremony begins, with East Sea heroes gathered, it'll be me protecting you…"

In his heart, the old man only snorted coldly, full of disdain.

In the past, Yue Yue was just lazy and not focused on cultivation, yet she was still the best in the Southern Border, achieving mid-grade Core Formation by eighteen years old. I ask, have you seen anyone like this?

Now, matured a bit, she reined in her playful heart, and her strength soared. Even if she's up against the heir of Swordmaster Peak, so what?

No match for my granddaughter!

However, as he left, the old man still felt a bit annoyed. He had worried so much for this granddaughter, yet she wouldn't listen to him but instead was all affectionate with a young boy she'd just met, finding his words more convincing than her own father's.

Leaning on his cane, he walked slowly forward. Although his demeanor was tough, he was truly a gentleman, not interrupting the young couple's affectionate farewell but instead leaving them space to say goodbye.

Jiang Feng looked at the girl's unhappy expression and simply slipped something into her hand, revealing a Qiankun Bag upon closer inspection.

"Hmm, I know."

Although feeling disgruntled, she had no choice but to obey. Her grandfather wasn't trying to harm her or break up the couple; he was purely concerned for her safety.

She smiled, and Jiang Feng, not wanting to leave Cen Zhuangzhuang out, cupped his hands apologetically.

"Brother Cen, we might not have a chance to compete this time, but don't worry. Next time we meet, our realms should be similar. By then, we can have a fair, just, and open contest. You should learn more Daoist Skills, and I'll refine my Sword Qi, and we'll have a good fight."

"Good, good, I was waiting for you to say that."

The friendship between men is always simpler. After giving Jiang Feng a thumbs-up, the siblings, already decided, no longer hesitated and were about to leave.

But Cen Yueyue suddenly turned around, her eyes revealing suspicion and caution.

"You won't, right after I leave, start hooking up with female cultivators from other sects, will you?"

"…"
