The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

Gongsun Qiuwei led the group through the living room, walked along a corridor and came to the study.

She seemed to have no suspicion of the others and kept walking towards the bookshelf.

"Miss Gongsun, wait a minute!"

Xia Zixuan hurriedly spoke out to stop her, and when Gongsun Qiuwei turned around and looked at him in confusion, he frowned and explained.

"I am very grateful to Miss Gongsun for her trust in us, but we are not from the Medical Fairy Island after all, and we should not know the secrets of the mansion. Let's avoid it first."

After saying this, he led the others out of the study without waiting for Gongsun Qiuwei to ask him to stay.

In the room, after the study door was gently closed, the charming and gentle expression on Gongsun Qiuwei's face disappeared in an instant, turning back into cold and ruthless expression.

She did not activate the mechanism immediately, but slowly walked towards Gongsun Qiubai.

Gongsun Qiubai's expression was filled with fear, and he subconsciously wanted to step back but stopped abruptly.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Gongsun Qiubai's head was tilted by the slap.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. He turned around after his excited mood calmed down a little, but was met with Gongsun Qiuwei's cold gaze. His pupils dilated, and finally he couldn't help but took a small step back.

To retreat is to admit defeat. Gongsun Qiuwei curled the corners of her mouth and gave a sarcastic smile.

"Brother, you are becoming more and more disobedient. Do you think that after you marry Shu Xiaoman, you can secure your position as the island master with the help of our father?"

"Weiwei, stop it. You can't control the dragon heart tree. Besides, the ones coming this time are the disciples of those people. If something happens to them, do you think the four major sects will let us off?"

"I have spent so much effort to cultivate the Dragon Heart Tree over the years, so it naturally listens to me. I know you are envious, but so what? It was you who made the choice that pushed me into the fire pit. Now that the Dragon Heart Tree has been successfully cultivated, don't be jealous of your sister, because -"

Gongsun Qiuwei moved close to Gongsun Qiubai, almost face to face, so that Gongsun Qiubai could clearly see the faint blue light in Gongsun Qiuwei's eyes.

"Jealousy can kill you, right?"

Gongsun Qiubai slowly widened his eyes, and this time he did not back down, but grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

"Weiwei, what's going on? What happened to your spiritual roots?"

"Haha, is that weird? My dual spiritual roots of water and wood have turned into ice spiritual roots."

"No, it's impossible. How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. I feed the Dragon Heart Tree with my essence and blood, so it's only natural that it will give something in return. Through its power, I can once again cleanse my essence and marrow, and reshape my dual spiritual roots into a single spiritual root. It can also help me make rapid progress in my cultivation."

"I've never heard of the Dragon Heart Tree having such an effect. Have you ever thought that this is too suspicious?"

Gongsun Qiuwei stared at him blankly. After a while, she brushed his hand away and turned to walk towards the bookshelf.

"Just because I become stronger is suspicious? Then does that mean I have to be sucked dry and die, brother?"

"I never thought about it! Weiwei, you... do you know that you have changed?"

Gongsun Qiuwei activated the mechanism on the bookshelf, and when the hidden passage was opened, she stood in front of the passage with a black hole like a bottomless abyss behind her.

"Of course I have changed. I have seen clearly all the falsehoods in this world, and I have also seen clearly the warmth and coldness of this world. I have become stronger, and I no longer need anyone to save me."

"Vivi!"

Gongsun Qiuwei raised a finger and placed it on her lips: "Shh!"

"Brother, remember to be obedient! As long as you behave, both the position of the island master of Medical Fairy Island and Shu Xiaoman will be yours. If you dare to hinder me... you don't want to know the consequences, right?"

Then, Gongsun Qiuwei walked towards the door step by step.

"Weiwei, your father will be sad if you do this. Do you want him to die with regrets?"

Gongsun Qiuwei stopped in front of the door and placed her hands on the door handle.

"When Gongsun Hu decided to sacrifice his daughter to the Dragon Heart Tree, he was destined to die with regrets. Didn't he know this?"

The door of the study was opened, stopping Gongsun Qiubai from speaking.

After the four people entered the room, they sensitively noticed that Gongsun Qiubai was in an abnormal state, but Gongsun Qiuwei looked normal.

Xia Zixuan asked with concern: "Is Daoist Gongsun feeling unwell?"

Gongsun Qiubai's face turned pale, and he forced a smile upon hearing this: "No, it's just that I've been busy with my marriage these past two days, and I hardly had any rest, so it's inevitable that I feel tired."

"elder brother!"

Gongsun Qiuwei came over with a concerned look on her face and gently grabbed Gongsun Qiubai's arm.

"Since you are not feeling well, you should go and rest quickly. If you collapse from exhaustion, it will delay the most important ceremony tomorrow. Not only will Daddy be angry, but Xiaoman will also be implicated."

"I……"

Gongsun Qiubai was about to explain when he felt a sharp pain in his arm where it was grabbed. He could clearly feel that his entire arm was frozen under his sleeve, and even a thin layer of frost covered the surface of his skin.

"Brother, you look really bad, you should go and have a rest. I will treat you well, don't worry."

If he didn't agree, Gongsun Qiubai estimated that his entire arm would be disabled, so he had no choice but to agree.

"I understand. I'll go back and rest first. You...you must take good care of the guests."

"Of course I will take good care of my friend. Just relax and be a groom peacefully."

So, after being persuaded by several people, Gongsun Qiubai left the study with an uneasy mood.

"Okay, everyone please follow me."

Gongsun Qiuwei raised her hand to invite the four people, then led the way up the downward stone stairs.

The four of them looked at each other, with Qi Gui leading the way, followed by Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan, and finally Xia Zixuan. They lined up in a row and entered the not very spacious passage.

The stairs in the passage extend downward in a spiral shape. There is a small lamp on the walls on both sides at intervals. I don't know what kind of lamp oil is used inside. The flame is very small and the area it can illuminate is very limited.

Those who can enter this place must be cultivators. As their cultivation level improves, they see things more with their spiritual sense rather than their eyes, so this aspect does not have much impact.

However, the only thing that made them wary was that the surrounding stone walls could actually block the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness. They must have been made using a special method.

In other words, if one were to encounter danger here, even the First Sword Master might not be able to detect him.

After walking for a long distance, Qi Gui estimated that it took them half an hour to reach the bottom of the stairs.

In front of him was a stone wall passage with several forks and paths, and he didn't know where it led to. Or maybe all of this was just a trick to protect the Dragon Heart Tree, and he didn't know what would happen to an outsider who entered alone.

The four of them came to a huge stone door with intricate patterns carved on it, but everyone present knew that this must be some kind of advanced magic array.

Gongsun Qiuwei stood in front of the stone gate, and quickly cut her palm with a small ice blade, then pressed her bleeding palm against the stone gate.

The silent stone gate was activated.
