Lin Yu Yan
Lin Yu Yan quickly went home to check on things. Some of the people in the space ring haven't eaten for days and the fact that they had to stay there for another few days is because of Lin Yu Yan's selfish reason to help the 3rd prince for experiment.
She could tell the spiritual essence in the ring is decreasing with the amount of people cultivating in there so their hunger is getting less suppressed. She needed to get home quick to make sure they survive.
Because she has been in the wood practically her whole life. She got home in less than 4 hours running as fast as she could. She went through the barrier that has been placed in the house and placed her hand on the spiritual gate. Of course since she made the gate, the gate recognize her right away and opened up for her.
But before she entered her home, she made sure the 'people' in the ring to stop cultivating and released them out of the spiritual space ring.
"Sorry, everyone. It took a little longer then expected for us to get to this point." She looked at everyone in the eye.
Some of the 'people' are still a little suspicious of Lin Yu Yan. Of course Lin Yu Yan understands and doesn't let that get to her. "Welcome home. Through that gate.." She points at the huge gate behind the 'people' and they all turn around.
"This is where you will be living for now. I would like every one of you, including the children, to place your hand on the gate before you enter."
One of the men was unsure if they should do it after Lin Yu Yan placed them in the ring. "What's going to happen to us if we do that?"
"Good question. The purpose of place your hand on the gate is so it can recognize your qi, your presence. Most of you, if not all of you, are too weak to defend yourself at the moment and I can't defend all of you either. The gates' main purpose is to not let anyone it doesn't recognize in my house. If one of you decide to leave this place to find food or something, without letting the gate recognize you, you won't get back in until I'm back."
As she explains, everyone looks at the gate in awe. Honestly, this is also the first time Lin Yu Yan looked properly at the gate. The fact that there are so many people in front of the gate, she actually doesn't realize how big the gate/entrance of her house is.
Then someone comes running out of the other side of the gates and it was Luo Bojing's wife (the man she beat up at Mo Pharmacy when Lu Tian Tian tried to pick a fight).
"Master! Your finally home!" Bojing's wife ran to greet her and her children ran to hug her.
"Big sister! you're okay!" They were so happy to see their savior safe.
The 'people' were surprised to see her. She was the one the 'people' they let escape and hoping the slave traders didn't see since she was so sick. They try to play it cool in front of the old slave traders they were with but they caught on with their act and went after them. They thought for sure they would be dead but the slave traders never came back and assume they went to celebrate their victory catch or something.
Some of the 'people' are from the same village as Bojing so everyone knew who his wife is. She is a very strong, cautious, and reliable. So the fact that she is so friendly to the woman means she must be a good person.
"Bojing's wife? Xie Rushi? Your still alive!?" The man who was suspicious was a from the same village as Luo Bojing.
"Everyone…!" Xie Rushi was surprised to see everyone. Xie Rushi honestly didn't think Lin Yu Yan would save everyone.
"Thanks for saving them!" Xie Rushi hugged Lin Yu Yan to show her appreciation. Everone aurrounds Xie Rong and Lin Yu Yan.
"It's no problem. I'm just glad I can make other people's lives a little better."
When Lin Yu Yan smiles, it was bright like the sun. It's true her face is not what it should be from the scars but they could feel her kindness. They haven't seen a genuine smile for a while so they all were taken back but now officially understand that she really is trying to help them. They asked so many questions on how Xie Rong and her 2 children escaped.
Soon, everyone started placing their hands on the gate and one by one entered their new home.
