"Wu wu, He'er, it's my mom that didn't take good care of you. If something were to happen to you, then my mom would die too!"

It didn't matter if you were a human or a cultivator. You were human, blood, flesh, and blood, and emotions.

After hearing that her daughter had snuck down the mountain and her husband had sent back the news that her daughter had disappeared, Fang Fang had been crying all day, blaming himself very much.

She initially wanted to follow her husband down the mountain to find her daughter, but her husband was worried that something would happen to her and refused to let her go down the mountain. Thus, she was forced to stay in the sect to wait for news.

In the sect, it was not like she hadn't done anything. She prayed that her husband would find her daughter and come back safely while scanning the city with her divine sense.

Without any warning, her daughter appeared in the sky above the eastern city. She immediately rode her sword down the mountain and charged straight towards her daughter.

When her husband arrived at her side, she still hadn't appeared. It was only when her husband wanted to punish her that she arrived in time.

"Su Liang, I want to see how you dare punish He Er. If you want to punish He Er, I'm not done for!"

He had not yet rushed to his daughter's side when he heard from afar that her husband was going to punish her. For the sake of her daughter not to be punished, she didn't hesitate to threaten her husband.

"Hee hee!"

Hearing the message from his mother, Su He stuck his head out from behind his father's back and proudly looked towards the mountain gate, waiting for his mother's rescue.

There would definitely be a bit of stirring up after the mother and daughter met.

Before he arrived, his voice had already reached his ears. His wife was anxious to protect his daughter, so Su Liang could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly when he was threatened by his wife.

"… …"

In front of the gate of the Hollow Jade Sect!

"Little girl, you went down the mountain on your own this time. Your parents are worried sick, and your senior martial brother and sister have gone down the mountain to look for you. Tell me, you've caused such a disaster. How should your senior uncle punish you?"

Since Chi Dan had suddenly appeared in the city, there were many matters that needed to be dealt with. Yin Xian couldn't leave the sect, so he naturally couldn't help Su Liang find his daughter.

Although he couldn't get away from it, he was worried that his disciple would be killed by a red core. Yin Xian had been checking the situation of the city with his divine sense.

Su He suddenly appeared in the sky above East City. He was also very different from Fang Fang. However, he did not descend the mountain as quickly as Fang Fang. Instead, he waited on the mountain for Su Liang's family to return.

"Hehe, Second Martial Uncle, I didn't cause any trouble. I did a great deed. You can't punish He'er. He'er has brought back some very important news!"

If he had known that his Second Martial Uncle would say such words, he would have never feared his Second Martial Uncle's punishments. Fortunately, his identity wasn't simple, and he had invited Chi Dan and Tian Ci to the sect as guests.

"Oh?"

"Little girl, you've grown up. You can do meritorious deeds for the sect!"

"Quickly tell me, what great achievement did you do?"

"Speak of it, and let second uncle hear it. Perhaps, he might be able to make up for it!"

This year, Su He was only ten years old and was causing trouble everywhere within the sect. Now, he was getting bolder and bolder, daring to secretly sneak down the mountain.

After secretly running down the mountain, not to mention making a big contribution, as long as he didn't cause trouble for the sect, Yin Xian really didn't take her words seriously.

It was indeed hard to believe that a ten year old girl could contribute greatly to the sect. Yin Xian did not believe her, but it was also within reason. Although he did not believe that Su He could contribute greatly, he was still curious about her.

"Humph, Second Martial Uncle, you're so stingy. He'er did a great deed. If we don't reward him, then he won't say anything!"

Make up for it?

In order to find out where the scarlet pills had gone and to lose three bottles of Fasting Pills, Su He felt that he should have received some compensation no matter what.

"He'er has grown up and can help the sect. If you really can help the sect, then Martial Uncle will help you and your Second Martial Uncle will reward you!"

A blue ray of light came from the north side of Song Maiden City. With a leap, it landed beside the group.

It turned out to be Wen Shu. Ever since the appearance of Chi Dan in the city, she had been worrying about her disciple's safety. She had stayed in the North City and used her divine sense to cover the entire city, as well as to find out the whereabouts of Su He.

When she noticed Su He's figure and saw Su Liang rushing over to her daughter's side, she did not appear. She received a sound transmission from Su Liang and received news of Crimson Core. She told her disciple that his decision was safe and immediately rushed back to the sect.

The Sect Leader Yin De was obsessed with cultivation, his heart was related to the world, he had not yet married nor had any children; Yin Xian was passionate about power, had not yet married, and had an adopted son; Wen Shu was passionate about medical skills, had never met a good person, and was single; only Su Liang, who did not love the mountains, loved the beauties, had not yet acquired a son, and there was still a daughter.

Of the four disciples, Su He was the only child. Of course, he was deeply in love with Su He. Su He was safe and sound, while Yin Xian revealed a doting smile on his face.

"Hehe, Martial Uncle is the best to He'er!"

Before the person had even arrived, his voice had already reached him. Upon hearing his Martial Uncle's pampered words, Su He immediately became happy. He looked forward to his Martial Uncle's return and seek justice for him.

"Little girl, if you really do something great, I will definitely help you get a reward!"

"But, you lied to Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle must punish you!"

The purpose of the appearance of Chi Dan in the city was unknown. How could Su He dare to sneak down the mountain? He was indeed bold. If he didn't punish him, then he would be too indulgent.

However, if Su He really wanted to contribute greatly, it would be a completely different story.

"Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle and Father are bullying me. You have to uphold justice for He'er!"

Although Martial Uncle usually treated his Senior Sister very sternly, he always protected her. When Su He saw that his Martial Uncle was standing up for him, he immediately ran over to his Martial Uncle and acted pitifully and coquettishly.

"He'er, don't worry. With Martial Uncle here, no one will dare punish you. Say it, what sort of great contribution did you make?"

With Martial Uncle protecting him, not only would he not have to worry about being punished by Second Martial Uncle and his father, but he would also be rewarded.

"Hehe, thank you Martial Uncle!"

Before he could say that he had made a big contribution, he had to lay down a bunch of conditions. The little girl was very weird, the Yin siblings looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go!"

"Let's talk after we return to the main hall!"

"… …"

"Second uncle, that night, I …"

"Second Martial Uncle, this is what happened. How can you reward me?"

Seeing that his parents and martial uncles had already achieved their goal, Su He didn't waste any time and explained in detail what had happened down the mountain.

From the moment she had descended the mountain, she had met Chi Dan. When she returned to the end of the sect, she did not hide anything. She narrated the events of her encounter with Chi Dan in great detail, not missing anything out.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you would make such a big contribution!"

"Second Martial Uncle still has things he needs to discuss with your father and Martial Uncle. First, follow your mother back. Later, let your father bring you here to receive the rewards. How about it?"

It was a great achievement to know about Fu Yun and Chi Dan. He had to reward the little girl. However, the most important thing was for her to take care of the aftermath of the incident.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I'll take He'er back first."

"He'er, let's go!"

The big and small matters of the sect were left to the husband and senior brothers and sisters. If they stayed, they wouldn't be able to help. Their daughter was being naughty, but staying would only cause trouble.

"Mm, alright!"

He had brought back the news that the lord had some important matters to discuss. Anyhow, he had received the promise of his uncle-master, and he would not be able to do without the rewards. It would be useless to stay in the main hall, so he agreed to follow his mother back.

"Don't lie to me!"

He agreed to leave with his mother, and was about to leave the hall when Su He turned around. He didn't forget to remind his second martial uncle not to go back on his word.

"Haha, don't worry little girl, Second Uncle will never go back on his words."

If the little girl hadn't received the reward, the entire sect would have turned into a mess. Thinking of her naughty personality, Yin Xian felt a headache coming on.

But then again, the sect had a mischievous little girl, so the entire sect was full of energy. Yin Xian was still very happy, so he naturally would not be stingy with his rewards.

"… …"

After Su He left with his mother, only Yin Xian, Su Liang, and Wen Shu remained in the hall.

Knowing the exact location of the Demon King, they were not foolish enough to go down the mountain and search. Because the Demon King's whereabouts had been exposed, they couldn't possibly still be on the spot, waiting for them to find him.

"Senior Brother, what did you say? Should we recall our disciple?"

After Chi Dan entered the city, he did not do anything evil. With the news his daughter brought back, Su Liang thought for a while and decided not to send any more disciples to search.

"Junior Brother, it's hard to guarantee that the 'Monster King' didn't lie to He'er. It's best for us to be careful, after all, there's still an old man with an unknown cultivation. We can't not be wary!"

As for the two people beside the Demon King, the old man was actually a cultivator with an unfathomable cultivation, and could even be a Demon King. Yin Xian didn't dare to relax his guard in the slightest.

Actually, the sect sent a lot of disciples, but the sect's higher-ups were still unable to find the whereabouts of the 'Demon King'.

"Senior Brother, that old man and Demon King Lai Yu were deliberately hiding their strength, and we can't even find them. What's more, I don't think that there is a need to send out all of the disciples from the sect."

"Besides, if the Rare Words Demon King and that child really want to come to the sect as guests, we should also consider how we should receive them!"

In order to find his daughter, all of his disciples had left the sect, and the other three branches had sent out a large number of disciples as well. Since his daughter had returned and had also been informed that Chi Dan would go visit the sect, Su Liang really wanted to recall his disciples.

"Second senior brother, what third senior brother said is true. I also think that we should recall a portion of our disciples. If the Rare Words Demon King really wants to harm our sect, our disciples will be in danger outside!"

The "Demon King" had not come to the sect yet, and his disciple was still in Song Nu's city. Wen Shu was still worried.

"In that case, we will recall some of the disciples!"

"As for whether that Rare Words Demon King has any other intentions, we still do not know. We will deal with it carefully!"

The Third and Fourth Junior Sisters insisted on recalling their disciples. Considering that the disciples couldn't find the whereabouts of the Demon King, they agreed to their suggestion.

"Alright, Senior Apprentice Brother!"

"I will go and recall the disciples!"

"Senior Brother, I will also go recall the disciples!"

With senior brother's approval, Su Liang and Wen Shu left the main hall and went to Song Nü's city to recall a few disciples. They only left behind some normal patrolling disciples and some disciples who were trying to pacify the mortals.

People in the city knew that the "Demon King" was going to visit the Hollow Jade Sect, so they were relieved when they saw that the "Demon King" was only passing by the city. Besides some who were still watching, a lot of them had already returned to their original homes.
