The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Jiang Qi failed to retrieve the salted fish, but she did manage to get Shen Yao's stone bead back.

Jiang Qi handed the stone bead to Shen Yao: "Your sister, I really don't know where she is. I beat her up several times but she still wouldn't tell me. I found this stone bead in her storage ring. Take a look and see if it's yours."

Shen Yao accepted the stone bead with great joy: "This is it, thank you!"

Jiang Qi then gave Shen Yao a brocade pouch: "I've placed a restriction on this magical treasure. Use it to store beads and wear it, and Jiang Ming will never be able to take it away again."

"Thank you." Shen Yao accepted the brocade pouch, filled it with the stone beads, and tied it to her waist. Now she was no longer afraid that Jiang Ming would steal it.

Jiang Qi: "No need to thank me. I'm just glad you don't blame my brother. He really likes you, he just doesn't do it the right way."

Shen Yao: "Mm."

Jiang Qi: "I would be even happier if you said thank you, sister."

Shen Yao hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you, sister."

"Hahahaha, very good! From now on, call me 'older sister'! Hahahaha." Jiang Qi was very satisfied and let out a hearty laugh.

Jiang Ming had just entered the Thunder God Hall when he heard a woman laughing loudly. He looked into the hall and saw his sister smiling at Shen Yao with a face full of... joy.

Jiang Ming felt a little horrified. He had never seen his sister laugh like that before in all his life!

It turns out my sister isn't incapable of smiling; she just frowns whenever she sees him and has never smiled at him!

He looked at his sister, smiling, and then wrapped his arm around Shen Yao, touching her little face...

Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and hurriedly left.

Jiang Qi just stormed into the Wind God Hall, beat him up several times, stole Shen Yao's stone bead, and mocked him: "You've never had any other skills since you were a child, all you know is how to threaten and coerce. What female immortal would like that?"

He doesn't know how to coax female immortals, but Jiang Qi does. No wonder he hasn't looked for a husband all these years; it turns out he likes female immortals!

Jiang Ming desperately wanted to know when Jiang Qi would leave, when the border would no longer need guarding, and when the secret realms would no longer need exploring. Why would she have made a special trip back to the sect to snatch the female immortal from him?

He was going to find his father to seek justice for him!

When Jiang Ye learned of his purpose, she berated him harshly: "You can't even compete with your sister for a female immortal, what are you capable of? Get out!"

Jiang Ming was really frustrated and couldn't understand why this was happening.

If he had known things would turn out like this, he would never have brought Shen Yao back to the True God Sect. He would have preferred to go anywhere else.

……

Bai Song and Zhao Bin have already returned to Qiwu City.

Feng Yu has been in the Immortal Emperor City for a long time.

He tried various methods to sneak into the True God Sect to find Shen Yao, but the True God Sect was an impenetrable fortress, and he couldn't get in at all.

Feng Yu was so haggard that he was even in a daze, and every female fairy he saw when he went out looked like Shen Yao.

The Feng family has been facing a lot of trouble lately, and he can't cause his grandfather any more trouble, so he has to rely on himself.

He had been waiting for a long time, and he really wanted to just barge in.

……

Having obtained the stone bead, Shen Yao began planning her escape.

She knew that Feng Yu must be waiting for her in the Immortal Emperor City, and she needed to find a way to get out first.

Although Jiang Qi had said she could send her back, she was, after all, Jiang Ming's sister, and she couldn't completely trust her.

Besides, the salted fish is still in Jiang Ming's hands.

When Jiang Qi beat Jiang Ming again, she no longer showed a gloating expression; she began to mediate and stop the fight.

At first, she simply said lightly, "Stop hitting."

Later, she even rushed out and stood in front of Jiang Ming, begging Jiang Qi to stop hitting him.

Jiang Ming thought she had really softened her heart.

Since then, Jiang Qi has stopped beating Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming has never been kicked out of the Thunder God Hall again.

Feeling the time was right, Shen Yao inquired about Xianyu's whereabouts.

Jiang Ming didn't tell her, and still wouldn't let her see the salted fish.

Shen Yao panicked and, squeezing out tears, asked him, "Did you kill my sister?"

Jiang Ming denied it outright, but Shen Yao cried and made a scene. Finally, Jiang Ming had no choice but to say to her, "Your sister keeps making a fuss about going to Yuanzhou to find the treasure, so I sent Wang Xu with her."

Shen Yao was relieved.

Xianyu had always wanted to jump over the dragon gate, but after so long, she still couldn't go with her.

Now that Xianyu has gone on her own, she plans to escape and then go find her with Fengyu.

It would be even better if we could get the communication order back.

But after Jiang Qi helped her retrieve the stone bead, Jiang Ming would definitely be on guard and wouldn't carry the communication token with him anymore.

Let's get out of here first!

Once Feng Yu arrives in Emperor Immortal City, he will definitely be guarding the vicinity of the True God Sect.

If I escape, Feng Yu will definitely find me.

Since retrieving the stone bead, she has been intensifying her cultivation in the Origin Stone Space every night. Now, Shen Yao's divine-level Qi Spirit Concealment Technique allows her to remain invisible for fifteen breaths.

If this can be used to its advantage, then after she escapes, Jiang Ming will never be able to find her again.

Once she becomes stronger, she will return to kill Jiang Ming and Jiang Ye to avenge her sect and master!

Shen Yao had been sullen for several days, and Jiang Qi noticed something was wrong.

Jiang Qi: "What's wrong with you these past few days? I haven't seen you smile once."

Shen Yao sighed, "Oh, it's nothing."

Jiang Qi: "Did my brother bully you again?"

"No, he didn't. I just wanted to go to the Imperial Immortal City for a stroll." Shen Yao glanced at Jiang Qi with a mournful look, then sighed, "But Jiang Ming definitely won't let me go out."

Jiang Qi asked directly, "Are you still planning to go find your fiancé?"

Shen Yao felt a pang of panic; how could Jiang Qi be even more sensitive than Jiang Ming?

Just as she was about to deny it, she heard Jiang Qi say, "I'll see you out."

Shen Yao was a little incredulous, but Jiang Qi said, "Let's leave now, while my brother isn't here, otherwise it'll be difficult to leave later."

Jiang Qi really did send her away.

To get to Yuanzhou, one must exit through the North Gate. After exiting the True God Sect's gate, Shen Yao glanced back at Jiang Qi, but without saying much to her, headed straight for the North Gate.

Watching her run away, Jiang Qi's maid asked her, "Master, why did you let Fairy Shen go? Your brother will cause a scene when we get back..."

Jiang Qi chuckled: "My brother finally falls for a female immortal. If she doesn't leave, how can Jiang Ming compete for her? How can he become stronger?"

"I heard that her father is a Celestial Venerable and her husband is a Celestial Saint, so they can be a whetstone for my brother."

Jiang Qi turned around and went back with her maid: "The whole family are Immortal Venerables, but he is the only Immortal Saint. He doesn't work hard to cultivate, and he even tries to steal female immortals. What a disgrace."

As they approached the North Gate, Shen Yao was grabbed by a hand.

Shen Yao turned around in a panic and saw that the person who had grabbed her was a male cultivator wearing a bamboo hat.

The male cultivator's face was covered, so his features were not visible, but Shen Yao recognized his phoenix eyes at a glance: "Yun He!"

"It's me! Yanzhou, let's go first." It's not a good place to linger, so Feng Yu pulled Shen Yao and quickly headed towards the Northern Gate.

Jiang Ming knew that her master was dead and had already removed the images from the boundary gate, so there was no need to check them when leaving the city. They quickly escaped from the Imperial Immortal City.

Once outside the Immortal City, Shen Yao found a secluded spot, took out the Spirit Stone Bead, and threw away the brocade pouch given to her by Jiang Qi.

Shen Yao gave the stone bead to Feng Yu: "Yunhe, take good care of the stone bead and head to Tianya Pond in Yuanzhou. We'll go find Shen Yu. While we're on our way, I'll hide in the source stone space to avoid Jiang Ming's pursuit."

Feng Yu: "Okay, Yanzhou, I miss you so much!"

"Me too. Come find me when we're in a safe place." Shen Yao gave Feng Yu a deep hug and immediately entered the Origin Stone Space.

Feng Yu put the stone bead away and quickly flew towards Yuanzhou.
