I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Jinman returned to her secluded villa in the back mountains. Before she could fully dispel the barrier, she heard Yaya's tearful mutterings coming from inside.

"Brother Shu, does Brother Zi'ang not want us anymore...? He hasn't come for so long..."

Chen Shu's calm yet barely concealed voice rang out: "Ya Ya, don't talk nonsense. Brother Zi Ang must have something important to say."

"That's right!" Jinwa chimed in gruffly, but his tone betrayed a hint of uncertainty. "Brother Zi'ang is the most loyal of all! Maybe he's gone to find us something good to eat!"

Jin Man's heart softened, and with a wave of her hand, layers of protective barriers rippled out like water.

The moment her figure appeared in the courtyard, that familiar purple hue instantly brightened the eyes of the three children.

"Elder Jin!"

Ya Ya was the first to react, toddling over with her short legs and burying herself in Jin Man's soft, fragrant embrace. She looked up, her big eyes brimming with tears, full of grievance and anticipation.

"Elder Jin, you've finally arrived! Where's Brother Zi'ang? When is he coming back to see us? Ya Ya misses him so much..."

Jin Man was knocked back a step by the girl's bump. The tension she felt from dealing with Su Hongzhen was dispelled by the girl's pure dependence.

She knelt down, gently wiped away the tears from Ya Ya's eyes, and then gently embraced the soft little body.

He gently smoothed her slightly disheveled hair with his fingertips and said softly, "Yaya, be good. I'm here to see you on her behalf."

Chen Shu and Jinwa also gathered around.

Before Ya Ya could speak, he keenly noticed the barely concealed seriousness between Jin Man's brows and hesitantly asked, "Elder Jin, is it... that something happened to Brother Zi'ang? If you are in trouble, you don't need to hide it from us."

Jinwa scratched his head and looked at Jinman expectantly, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Jinman's gaze swept over the three children, finally landing on Chen Shu, whom she knew was the most perceptive.

She sighed softly, her tone shifting from perfunctory to one of earnest honesty:

“Shu’er, Ya Ya, Jin Wa,” she looked into their eyes one by one, “your brother Zi’ang is in some very troublesome and dangerous situations. He has offended some very powerful enemies, and they are looking for him everywhere. So, he can’t show his face, he can’t come back here, and he can’t even have much contact with us.”

Upon hearing the words "danger" and "enemy," Ya Ya's face turned deathly pale, and she gripped Jin Man's sleeve tightly with her little hands. "Then... will Brother Zi Ang get hurt? Does he feel pain?"

Jinman felt a pang of sadness and hugged Yaya even tighter, patting her back reassuringly.

"Don't be afraid, your brother Zi'ang is very capable, he will protect himself. But he needs to focus on dealing with bad guys right now, so he asked me to take you to a place that is absolutely safe and no one can find you."

There, you can eat, sleep, and cultivate in peace, waiting for him to resolve all his troubles and come to pick you up in style, okay?

Upon hearing this, Jinwa clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice, "Those people are awful! Elder Jin, please tell Brother Ziang that I, Jinwa, will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future and help him fight the bad guys!"

Chen Shu's eyes flickered violently. He took a deep breath, and his maturity beyond his years allowed him to instantly understand many key points.

The "enemy" that made "Cang Zi'ang" so wary, and even needed to secretly transfer them, probably had a status and power far beyond his imagination. It was very likely that the enemy came from within the Qingcheng Yufa Sect!

He stepped forward and bowed deeply and solemnly to Jinman.

"Elder Jin, we understand. Thank you for risking your life to come and inform us, and thank you even more for your continued protection. Please be sure to tell Brother Zi'ang that the three of us will remember his instructions, cultivate peacefully in our new place, never go out, never cause trouble, and never let anyone find us!"

"Tell him... not to worry about us, and to prioritize his own safety!"

His words were clear and well-thought-out, which even moved Jinman slightly.

Although Ya Ya's eyes were still brimming with tears, she nodded her little head vigorously when she saw Chen Shu's serious expression, and said in a thick nasal voice.

"Yaya, be good... Yaya will wait obediently for Brother Ziang... Tell him to be careful..."

Looking at the three sensible children who were so endearing, Jin Man secretly sighed, thinking that Ming Chuan had indeed picked up a few treasures.

Without further hesitation, she flipped her jade-like hand, and the radiant purple lotus reappeared.

"Close your eyes, relax your body, I'm taking you to your new home."

A gentle force enveloped the three of them, transporting them into the warm and peaceful purple space inside the purple lotus.

Jinman could feel Yaya sob softly inside her sleeve, but she quickly quieted down.

Concealing her presence, she quietly left the sect. With her extremely high cultivation level and familiarity with the spiritual realm, she placed Zi Lian, who was carrying her three children, in a secluded valley that was rich in spiritual energy and not even recorded in the sect's records. She also set up several concealment and protection restrictions.

After completing all this and ensuring everything was foolproof, Jinman then transmitted the message through that secret mental connection:

"The children have arrived safely at their new home and are all well, so don't worry. Su Hongzhen is very suspicious and insists on seeing you in person. The situation is urgent, and a decision needs to be made quickly."

A gentle breeze rustles through the feathered gate, inside a quiet room.

Mingchuan's consciousness continued to rise and fall in endless darkness and excruciating pain, like a small boat struggling in a raging storm.

Jinman's telepathic message was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the darkness, suddenly striking into his chaotic sea of ​​consciousness!

Each word struck his nearly numb nerves like a heavy hammer.

Ya Ya's dependent eyes, Chen Shu's sensible appearance, Jin Wa's honest and simple demeanor...

And then there's Su Hongzhen's sinister and suspicious gaze... all the images and emotions exploded together!

"No...I can't fall here!"

An unprecedentedly strong will to survive and an obsession to protect surged forth from the depths of his soul like a volcanic eruption!

This will was so powerful that it instantly overwhelmed the pain of the body and the exhaustion of the soul, and resonated with his newly born, dormant spatial laws in an unprecedented way.

“Buzz——!!!”

No longer just a slight ripple, the entire quiet room suddenly trembled!

The light was distorted, and the scenery was blurred, as if the entire room had been plunged into an invisible vortex!

The powerful spatial fluctuations even caused the barrier set up by Sect Master Ye to flicker violently!

Sect Leader Ye and Ji Zhou were horrified!

Amidst this violent spatial tremor, Mingchuan suddenly opened his eyes!

This time, there was no longer any confusion, pain, or weakness in his eyes.

Deep within those eyes lies a profound and serene depth, like the vast starry sky, a profound understanding and mastery gained after experiencing life and death!
