The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Suiyi looked towards the visitors in the clouds. It was a warm afternoon, and the female cultivator holding the spirit bird in her hands was dressed in flawless white clothes, as gentle and refined as jade.

Beside her stood a young man in bright red, and another person wearing a black cloak.

Suiyi's tears, which she had held back for so long, finally fell.

The bewildered guard was startled: "How did they get in?"

Zhiyu exclaimed joyfully, "Sect Leader Yun! Lord Wuwang!"

Yun Yici channeled some spiritual energy into the spirit bird in her hand to prolong its life: "The bird was perfectly fine, but it's been starving to the point of near death."

The Sun and Moon Shuttle stopped outside the city. Wu Wang thought he should check on Sui Yi's situation first, so she and Di Zhao accompanied Wu Wang directly inside.

Unexpectedly, they happened to witness Suiyi releasing the spirit bird.

Yun Yici sighed.

She had met Xue Ziyan and her daughter before. Suiyi was carefree with her mother, but now, at such a young age, she looked miserable.

Even when she cried, she did so quietly and suppress her emotions.

Zhiyu was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Wuwang to actually come.

With a stern face, she said to the guard beside her, "Lord Wuwang has returned to the city. Why don't you go and report to the Demon King immediately?"

"Are you all gathered here to offend the esteemed officials?"

They all knew the name Wu Wang; he was the ancestor of their Demon King.

It was only because Wu Wang was shrouded in a black robe, keeping a low profile, that the guards were momentarily undecided.

Zhiyu confirmed Wuwang's identity, and the guards quickly bowed to him, begging for forgiveness for their previous rudeness.

The guards who received the message hurried to find Suige.

As soon as Yun Yici and the other two landed, Suiyi threw herself into Yun Yici's arms.

Yun Yici handed the spirit bird in her hand to Zhiyu, and then took a soft handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe away Suiyi's tears.

"Missing your mother?"

Suiyi nodded, but Zhiyu looked at the nearby guards with difficulty.

She wanted to bring up Suiyi's predicament, but it was too difficult to speak in front of so many people.

Wu Wang asked, "You want to be with your mother?"

Suiyi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

The emperor decreed, "Since she has her own ideas, what's the point of forcing her to stay here?"

Wu Wang let out a long sigh and said, "Then why bother seeing Sui Ge? Let's just take her to find our young friend Xue."

Suiyi shook her head, pointed at Zhiyu, indicating that she wanted to take her along.

Zhiyu said helplessly, "Young Master, I can't leave. I still have my sister and family here."

If she leaves Ximing City with Suiyi, her family will inevitably suffer retaliation from Madam Bai and the Demon King.

Before the group could finish speaking, the guard who had come to deliver the message arrived, followed by Madam Bai, who had also come after hearing the news.

Today, Madam Bai wore a white gauze robe that was as white as smoke and mist, revealing a bright crimson color underneath.

Her figure was graceful, but her hurried steps betrayed her true feelings.

Yun Yici noticed that Suiyi, whom she was holding, stiffened the moment Madam Bai appeared.

Remembering Madam Longyuan's words, she hugged Suiyi even tighter and whispered, "Don't be afraid."

Madam Bai also saw Yun Yici and the other two.

First, Yun Yici, who was holding Suiyi, frowned, clearly displeased with Suiyi's closeness to this strange woman.

Fortunately, the other party was not Xue Ziyan.

Then there's the stunningly handsome young man in red standing next to the woman.

One glance was enough to make Madam Bai blush.

She secretly wondered if she had ever heard of any winged race member with such an outstanding figure before.

Sui Ge was, after all, a dignified demon king, but in terms of appearance and demeanor, he wasn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of this young man in front of him.

Madam Bai, who prided herself on her high standards, was surprised to find that her judgment was far too shallow after meeting this young man.

Fortunately, Sui Ge was not there.

Madam Bai adopted a polite and dignified smile and looked at the third person standing with the woman and the young man.

"Bai Jiao greets Ancestor Wuwang."

"I am Lord Suige's newlywed companion."

Madam Bai was not worried about her scheme being exposed.

Zhiyu was her accomplice.

Besides, a child of a few years old cannot speak. Moreover, who would believe the words of a child of a few years old?

It was all too unexpected. Had I known this would happen, I should have crippled Suiyi's hand beforehand.

Wu Wang's fur color had not faded, so he still wore a black robe when he went out.

He raised his head and glanced at Madam Bai: "Where is Sui Ge?"

Lady Bai replied respectfully, "The Demon King heard that a flying shuttle had landed outside the city, so he came out of the city to greet it."

Yun Yici said helplessly, "It seems we just missed it."

Wu Wang said with annoyance, "Fine, then you can tell Sui Ge that Sui Yi wanted to stay with her mother, so I sent her back and told him to stop bothering her."

Madam Bai instinctively gripped her palm, trying to stop him, saying, "This... Ancestor, I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter."

Not only does Sui Ge dream of dominating the demon realm by using the "Nine Phoenix Daughters," she is also reluctant to part with the Nine Phoenix Essence Blood that can save the lives of her descendants.

Wu Wang said, "Why should I ask you to make the decisions? If I want to take her away, can you stop me?"

"With so many people watching me take Suiyi away, why would he make things difficult for you?"

Madam Bai said pitifully, "Since I married into Ximing City, I have always treated Suiyi as my own daughter."

"Lord Suige also values ​​Suiyi highly, and even specially moved Suiyi to live in the main hall. Considering Lord Suige's love for his daughter, he was finally allowed to say goodbye to Suiyi."

Wu Wang lowered his voice and said, "It's as if I'm the one who tore you apart."

Madam Bai said with a sorrowful expression, "I had absolutely no intention of offending the Ancestor!"

After watching for a while, Yun Yici felt that Madam Bai's words were full of twists and turns.

She just left like that; I suspect Madam Bai has other plans.

"Never mind, Senior Wuwang, I guess my senior brothers have all gone into the city with the Demon King and the others."

"It's a good thing that you've cleared things up with the Demon King."

Suiyi has lost some weight and her brow is furrowed, but she is in good spirits and her life is not in danger.

They had discussed it before they came. Back then, Mu Yunjian refined the Nine-Headed Serpent's essence blood, even though he himself had embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, Suiyi is too young to actively refine it, and can only rely on Wuwang's help, which may be very dangerous.

After much deliberation, and with the Emperor insisting that he didn't need to follow, Wu Wang finally decided to stay by Sui Yi's side and teach her for a few years to see how things went.

With time, his blood and energy will recover better, so it won't be so rushed, and he'll be more confident.

If Suiyi enters a period of decline in the next few years, having him by her side will allow him to provide timely support and rejuvenation.

Madam Bai, unaware of Wu Wang's plans, was secretly delighted that Wu Wang had stayed.

She said solicitously, "Please, Ancestor Wuwang and these two distinguished guests, follow me."

The three of them, along with Suiyi and Zhiyu, followed Madam Bai to the Demon Palace where guests were being received. Before they had even sat down for a short while, they heard a commotion outside the door.

Everyone looked towards the door and saw Shen Huaichuan and his group walking into the hall with Sui Ge.

Sui Ge trotted into the hall, and upon seeing Wu Wang, he cried out as if he had seen his own father, "Ancestor, you've finally come!"
