Wen Tuti's identity was not exposed, as he concealed his aura. Cultivators below the Yuanchuang stage couldn't detect his true strength, leading the disciples of the Red Sky Sect to perceive him as a low-level cultivator. They assumed he was someone Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou had brought back from outside and didn't suspect anything.

When they returned to Jucui Peak, they saw that Qin Hongdao had also arrived.

Shi Wuming's eyes lit up, and he was about to run over when Wen Tuti grabbed him.

"Hey, what are you up to?" Shi Wuming tried to shake off Wen Tuti's grip on his arm, but to no avail.

Wen Tuti said, "Eldest Senior Sister is catching up with Brother Ning. What are you going to butt in for?"

——

Outside the cave residence on the mountain's waist, Qin Hongdao patted Ning Yuzhou on the shoulder excitedly and said with a smile, "We're relieved to see you both safe and sound! Our second junior brother is still outside and should have received the news. He'll be back in a few days. Once Junior Brother Sheng wakes up, all of you must come to my Xuedao Peak for drinks. I've buried plenty of good wine at the mountain top over the years. Little Sister Qiao will surely love it..."

"We've caused you concern," Ning Yuzhou said gently. "Ah Chui is still in seclusion. Once she finishes, we'll come and find you."

"It's alright, no rush!" Qin Hongdao waved her hand, her eyes smiling. "Once Junior Brother Sheng wakes up, all of us senior brothers and sisters will be complete. We can gather then."

On her way back, Qin Hongdao first went to Tianyun Summit and learned from their master that Ning Yuzhou had recently been refining pills to prepare for saving Sheng Yunshen.

It must be said that Sheng Yunshen, who had fallen into a deep slumber due to soul damage, had become a heartache for Tianyun Summit. Over the past decade, they had been trying to find heavenly treasures to heal him. They had even found the Soul Returning Grass, but because his injuries were too severe, they could only continue to nurture him slowly, unsure of when he would wake up.

Now that not only had Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao returned safely, but there was also hope for Sheng Yunshen to wake up, how could everyone not be happy?

Saving Sheng Yunshen was more important than the reunion of the junior brothers and sisters.

For this reason, Sheng Zhenhai had forcefully commanded that no one disturb Ning Yuzhou and the others at Jucui Peak. Until his son woke up, anyone who tried to lure Ning Yuzhou away would face his ruthless hand.

Thanks to the sect leader's order, Jucui Peak remained peaceful.

The two senior sisters and brothers were talking when they keenly sensed a burning gaze looking in their direction.

Both turned their heads simultaneously.

When they saw two unfamiliar faces, Qin Hongdao was momentarily stunned. Although she didn't know their identities, she understood that those who could enter Jucui Peak must have the owner's permission.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Wuming ran over and said happily, "This immortal, hello. I am Shi Wuming, a friend of Brother Ning."

Qin Hongdao laughed heartily, "Hello, I am Qin, Qin Hongdao."

Shi Wuming said in surprise, "So you're the Eldest Senior Sister Ning Brother often mentions! I've heard a lot about you!"

Wen Tuti smacked him again and pushed him away, then came over to Qin Hongdao.

Qin Hongdao's eyes narrowed when she saw him.

Naturally, unlike the other disciples, she didn't truly believe Wen Tuti was a low-level cultivator. Although she couldn't sense his cultivation, the child's aura was deep like an abyss, clearly above her own level.

Ning Yuzhou introduced, "Eldest Senior Sister, this is Wen Tuti."

"Wen..." Qin Hongdao was stunned, then said in surprise, "Is this really Wen Tuti? Has Wen Tuti taken form?"

Wen Tuti, looking adorable and well-behaved, said softly, "Eldest Senior Sister, it's me. I've taken form."

Qin Hongdao happily patted the child's head, "Well done, well done. You've had quite the opportunity this time, and now we can truly be at ease."

Ning Yuzhou understood exactly what she meant by "at ease" and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Qin Hongdao knew that Ning Yuzhou and the others were busy, so he didn't stay for long and left soon after.

Shi Wuming peered around, and once he saw them leave, he quickly went to pull on Ning Yuzhou's arm, urgently asking, "Ning Brother, what are Eldest Senior Sister's hobbies? Is she considering finding a partner? Do you think someone like me would be to her liking? Also..."

Ning Yuzhou stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.

Shi Wuming looked back at him eagerly, waiting for a response.

"Ning Brother, this guy actually dares to have designs on Eldest Senior Sister! Beat him up!" Wen Tuti stomped her feet, saying.

Shi Wuming pulled out a bottle of Spirit Restoring Pills and handed it to him, saying, "Go away, kid. What do you know? Go eat your spirit pills elsewhere and don't interfere with adult matters."

Wen Tuti was chased away like a little kid and became even more annoyed!

Although he had taken a child's form after his transformation, his age was not young. As a young beast, his lifespan was long, and at his current age, he was older than Shi Wuming and the others. By human standards, he was still a child, which was why he had taken this form after his transformation.

If Wen Guangun were to transform, it would probably look like a crawling baby.

Ning Yuzhou naturally didn't involve himself in such matters, only saying, "This is Eldest Senior Sister's business. As her junior disciples, we won't interfere! If you want to know, ask her yourself. We won't help you."

"If you won't help, that's okay, but don't cause trouble," Shi Wuming quickly added.

Ning Yuzhou chuckled, "Rest assured, I have a happy marriage and a lovely wife. I won't sabotage someone else's relationship out of spite."

With his assurance, Shi Wuming felt relieved and decided to find an opportunity to woo her and try to confess, to see if he could bring a wife back to the Primordial Continent.

——

A few days later, Yi Xuan also returned to the Red Sky Sect.

Along with Yi Xuan, there were also Shui Liyin from the Purple Sun Sect and Duan Haoyan from the Ming Yang Duan clan.

Seeing these three unrelated people returning together, Sheng Zhenhai and his wife, along with Qin Hongdao, were somewhat surprised and wondered how they had ended up together.

Yi Xuan said, "When I was returning, I happened to meet them, and they said they had something to discuss with Ning Yuzhou, so we came together."
