After listening to the third brother's idea, one of the Black Dragon's whiskers knocked on his head, and he said angrily, "No way!"

"You brat, I knew your idea wouldn't be reliable."

Although the third brother was the strongest among their siblings, he still respected the eldest brother greatly,

The eldest brother, as the elder, maintained the dignity expected of a leader, constantly supervising them to prevent chaos.

Even though the third brother got his head tapped by the eldest, he just chuckled, not caring at all, and laughed, "I just feel that the master living alone on the River of Time is too lonely, can't I find a little fun for the old man?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest also rolled his eyes and said irritably, "That Ran Qingqing is merely a Realm Master of Taishang. What caliber is she? Does she have the qualification to accompany the master?"

With that,

The third brother wagged his index finger, gesturing "nonono," and said, "Big brother, Ran Qingqing is not an ordinary Realm Master. She is the youngest and most talented Realm Master in the history of the Great Woe Immortal Realm."

"Moreover, she possesses the 'Primordial Way Body.' If she dual cultivates with the master, the master would gain the legendary 'Primordial Way Power,' which, as you know, is a pure power that touches upon the essence of the Great Dao. It should be beneficial to the master."

"I once served as the Heavenly Dao for some lower worlds. Things that touch the origin of the Great Dao are incredibly valuable."

"And she, Ran Qingqing, is quite good-looking, reputed as the first beauty of Taishang, so she wouldn't insult the master's eyes."

The third brother articulated word by word.

Upon hearing this, the eldest slapped the third brother on the head again, saying, "That still won't do!"

"What level is the master at? Does he need that 'Primordial Way Power'?"

"Furthermore, dual cultivation with her would be a great opportunity for Ran Qingqing, but useless to the master."

"The master doesn't need anything like dual cultivation with her or any Realm Masters. Don't lower the master's status."

The eldest was the first to follow the master and had been with him the longest, understanding the master's greatness best.

In his eyes, let alone the entire Great Woe Immortal Realm, even if the first fairy or first beauty of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm were captured, they wouldn't match the master; they simply were not in the same league.

Upon hearing this, the third brother awkwardly smiled and then said, "Actually... I was just worried that the master might get lonely on the River of Time...."

With that, the eldest burst out laughing, exasperated.

"Desire is the basest of things, only those mortals get their heads muddled by lust, filled with trivial thoughts."

"The master has long transcended all of that. What lowly thing is desire? Do you think the master needs it?"

"He absolutely doesn't need it."

"Lonely??"

"Let me tell you, true strength is accompanied by loneliness!"

"The truly powerful enjoy solitude."

"No one understands the master better than I do."

The eldest said confidently.

Upon hearing this, the third brother nodded, acknowledging that the eldest was indeed the one who understood the master best, having been the first to follow him.

If not for the eldest's reminder, he was really planning on kidnapping Ran Qingqing and presenting her to the master.

According to the eldest, the master wouldn't praise him for it and might even scold him.

"So how should we deal with Ran Qingqing?"

"After all, she is a Realm Master of the Great Sorrow Immortal Realm. Should we just kill her like we did with Lin Changdong?"

The third brother asked.

To take down the Taishang, the primary targets are the Four Great Realm Masters and one Grand Domain Master.

Actually, Lin Changdong had already been eliminated; now there were only three Realm Masters and that Domain Master left.

It was difficult to make a Realm Master submit, just like Lin Changdong, who resisted to the death and ultimately vanished.

"Since Ran Qingqing is young, promising, and possesses the 'Primordial Way Body,' it's best to avoid killing her if possible; it would be a waste."

"Try to recruit her to our side; let her fight for the master. If she truly grows to a certain level, it would be fine to consider sending her to the master to relieve some worries."

With those words, the third brother teased with a laugh, "Big brother, aren't you just worried that the master might feel lonely and cold alone?"

With that, the eldest's old face reddened as he rebuked, "How could that be the same!"

"What's Ran Qingqing's level now?"

"In the future, if she grows to a certain level, she must at least catch up to us to have the qualification to meet the master."

Upon hearing this, the third brother stopped teasing and said seriously, "Then let's try to spare Ran Qingqing's life. The other Realm Masters should be treated the same; if they submit voluntarily, don't kill them. But if they resist to the death, then kill them."

"However, if Ran Qingqing is unwilling to follow the master in warring against the Ten Thousand Realms, then I'll kill her too."

In the third brother's deep eyes, specks of Immortal Light flickered.

.....

Scene shift, above the River of Time.

Su Mu, wearing a straw hat, had a special basket on his back he had woven himself to hold Treasure Fish, holding a sickle, bending over, and cutting the wildly growing weeds along the bank.

[Congratulations, host, due to clearing weeds, Favor Points +30]

[Congratulations, host, due to clearing weeds, Favor Points +30]

....

As his hands moved faster, the notification of rewards kept ringing continuously.

Recently, the riverbanks always sprouted patches of weeds overnight. Due to their density, they would sometimes even block some of the small tributaries, causing the water flow to be obstructed.

Regarding this situation, Su Mu was very pleased, for these were not weeds at all, but chives! You cut one batch, and another grows, enjoying it immensely.

At this second, Su Mu seemed to understand the delight those capitalists feel when reaping chives.

.....

After cutting, Su Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, surprised to be tired, thinking, is my body really that weak?

Nevertheless, despite the fatigue, in this short time, unit, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand!

A total of ten thousand two hundred Favor Points were credited to the account!

Goodness, more of these chives, Su Mu would happily keep reaping them for the rest of the year.

There was another hour, and it would be almost dark.

Time to head home.

Su Mu returned the sickle to the basket and walked toward his stone house.

As he stepped into the yard, he noticed Little Nannan pacing back and forth, her little hands clenched behind her back, her face filled with anxiety.

Seeing her father return, Little Nannan ran over and said urgently, "Daddy, our... the fruit tree we planted last time has been stolen!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's pupils contracted sharply.

Oh no, my Bodhi Tree!

"All stolen?" Su Mu asked.

"No, it's being stolen right now, and I can't catch them." Nannan was on the verge of tears in her anxiety.

After hearing this, Su Mu put down his basket, rolled up his sleeves, and strode toward the backyard.

At this moment, the wild boar, still hanging from the willow tree, shared a moment of silence, quietly amused, wondering who else would join him in being brothers in misfortune.
