Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Everyone had just expressed their determination to keep the secret of the space, and the atmosphere inside the room was still immersed in that solemn yet warm atmosphere.

Hua Qiangu looked at everyone with some worry and said, "Although we've all decided to keep this secret, I'm still a little worried. What if we accidentally let it slip one day?"

Dongfang Yuqing patted Hua Qiangu on the shoulder and comforted her, "Xiaogu, don't worry! We've been so careful, how could we easily give ourselves away? Besides, even if something unexpected happens, we can figure out a way to deal with it together!"

Tangbao waved her little paws beside her, calling out in her childish voice, "Mommy, don't be afraid! Tangbao is here. Tangbao will keep an eye on things for you. If anyone dares to pry into the secret, Tangbao will chase them away with her little paws!"

Luo Shiyi nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Xiao Gu, everyone's here. If we work together, we can definitely keep this secret. But speaking of which, Your Majesty, do you think there might be some other details in the ancient books about the patriarch that we haven't noticed?"

Bai Zihua frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That's hard to say. The ancient book is from a long time ago, and some records may not be complete. But what we know so far is enough for us to understand the importance of the secrets of this space."

As they were talking, a sudden commotion arose outside, as if many people were approaching. Everyone was startled, and Dongfang Yuqing lowered his voice and said, "What's going on? Why is there such a commotion all of a sudden?"

Tang Bao was so frightened that she immediately burrowed into Hua Qiangu's arms, muttering softly, "Tang Bao is scared. Could it be that someone has found out about Mother's secret space and is coming to steal it?"

Hua Qiangu hugged Tang Bao tightly and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Tang Bao, it should be alright. Let's see how things go first."

Bai Zihua's expression hardened, and he said, "Everyone, don't panic. I'll go out and take a look." With that, he got up and walked outside.

A short while later, Bai Zihua returned, his expression slightly grave. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat upon seeing this.

Dongfang Yuqing hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on outside? Has something happened?"

Bai Zihua slowly said, "They are disciples from some sects. They said they heard something unusual happening here and came to check it out. It seems they don't know the specifics yet, but we still need to be careful and not let them notice anything amiss."

Luo Shiyi frowned and said, "These people really love to join in the fun. Why are they causing trouble at a time like this? If they figure something out, it will be troublesome."

Hua Qiangu bit her lip and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just drive them away, wouldn't that make people even more suspicious?"

At this moment, Tang Bao peeked out from Hua Qian Gu's arms, her eyes darting around, and said, "Mommy, Tang Bao has an idea! Let's say we were having a meal here just now, and we were having so much fun that we were a little loud. They should believe us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing smiled and patted Tangbao's head, saying, "Oh dear, Tangbao's little brain is quite clever! This is a good idea; it might be able to fool them."

Bai Zihua nodded slightly and said, "This is the only way we can try it for now. But everyone must remember to be natural in your words and actions and not give anything away."

Everyone nodded, then walked out of the house together to face the sect disciples who had come to investigate.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a group of disciples dressed in various sect costumes standing not far away, curiously looking in their direction.

One of the disciples, who appeared to be the leader, stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Seniors, we heard about some unusual activity here and were worried that something might have happened, so we came to investigate. Is there anything unusual here?"

Dongfang Yuqing stepped forward with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Haha, it's you all, my dear friends! It's alright, it's alright. We were just having a meal together. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. We had a great time eating and chatting. Perhaps we were a little too loud and disturbed you all. I'm so sorry!"

The leading disciple looked at the group with suspicion, then at the room, and said, "Is it really just a simple dinner party? But we seemed to sense a very strange aura here just now."

Everyone's hearts tightened, but Hua Qiangu forced herself to remain calm and said with a smile, "Young friend, you must be joking. We're just having a normal meal together. There's nothing strange about it. Maybe you were just in a hurry and it made your imagination."

Tang Bao chimed in, "That's right, big brother, you must have made a mistake. This place is so much fun, and there's lots of delicious food. Do you want to come and try some?"

Seeing Tang Bao's adorable appearance, the leading disciple couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, the little one is so cute. In that case, perhaps we really made a mistake. But since we're here, we should still check again. Please don't mind, seniors."

As they spoke, the group of disciples began to search the surrounding area. Everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that they might discover something amiss.

Dongfang Yuqing quietly approached Hua Qiangu and whispered, "Xiao Gu, you have to stay calm and don't let them see that you're nervous."

Hua Qiangu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I understand. Dongfang, be careful too."

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks, the leading disciple suddenly stopped in a corner, staring at a stone on the ground, his expression turning somewhat strange.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, thinking: Could there be something wrong with this stone? Could there really be some trace related to space left here?

The leading disciple frowned and slowly said, "Why does this stone look a little different? It seems... as if it has been affected by some special power."

The group looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

At this moment, Bai Zihua calmly stepped forward and said, "Young friend, you may be overthinking it. This stone has been here for a long time, and it's inevitable that it will change a little due to wind and rain. There's no special power affecting it."

The leading disciple looked up at Bai Zihua, then at the stone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it. But to ensure everything goes smoothly, I still want to take this stone back and let the elders of the sect take a look. What do you seniors think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately alarmed. If they were allowed to take the stone back and something went wrong, the secret of the space would be lost!

Dongfang Yuqing hurriedly said, "Young friend, this is really too much trouble! It's just a broken stone, why make such a fuss? If you don't believe us, just stay here and examine it a bit more. Don't take this stone away."

The leading disciple frowned and said, "Seniors, this is no ordinary stone. I feel there's something really wrong with it. Please understand our responsibilities."

Hua Qiangu was extremely anxious. She looked at Bai Zihua, then at Dongfang Yuqing, and whispered, "What should we do? If this stone is taken away, we'll be in big trouble."

Tangbao waved her little paws anxiously beside her, saying, "Mommy, we can't let them take the stone away! Tangbao doesn't want to!"

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a beam of light suddenly shot from afar, striking the stone directly. Instantly, the stone returned to its original state, looking no different from an ordinary stone.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Just then, a mysterious voice rang out in the air: "Hmph, a bunch of little brats, what are you messing around for! This rock is just an ordinary rock, stop being so suspicious and go back!"

The leading disciple looked astonished. He looked at the stone, then at his surroundings, and said, "What... what's going on? Just now..."

But the mysterious voice no longer responded; the light continued to envelop the stone, as if urging them to leave quickly.

The leading disciple hesitated for a moment, then finally clasped his hands in a fist and said, "In that case, perhaps we really made a mistake. We apologize for disturbing you seniors, we'll head back now."

With that, he led his disciples away in a hurry.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched them leave.

Dongfang Yuqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Oh dear, that scared me to death! That almost led to a major disaster!"

Hua Qiangu patted her chest and said, "Yes, thanks to that mysterious light. I wonder who helped us so much."

Tangbao, bouncing around, said, "Whoever it was, they must be a good person! They helped us get rid of those annoying people, hmph!"

Bai Zihua frowned slightly, pondering as he said, "This matter is somewhat strange. The mysterious light appeared too suddenly, and the mysterious voice seemed to want these people to not delve into the matter of this stone. It seems that there are some unknown forces secretly helping us around us."

Luo Shiyi nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right, but in any case, this time it was a close call. However, we still need to be more careful in the future, after all, we can't afford any more mishaps in the secrets of this space."

Everyone nodded in agreement, understanding that although they had escaped this time, the road ahead was long, and they would need to be even more cautious and diligent in keeping this secret.
