"Alright then."
Chu Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the key into his hand.
"Here, have each of them take one of these."
As Sikong Changsheng spoke, he produced three more pills and handed them to Chu Feng.
These were life-extending pills.
And they were exactly what Jie Shanxian and Zhaixing Daozhang needed most right now.
"Senior, you truly are a kind soul."
Chu Feng accepted the pills, his face full of gratitude.
"Save the flattery."
Sikong Changsheng rolled his eyes.
Chu Feng quickly administered the three pills to Jie Shanxian, Zhaixing Daozhang, and Jie Tiannian, one each.
And these pills turned out to be even more potent than Chu Feng had anticipated.
Not only did they extend one's lifespan, but after taking them, the complexions of all three improved significantly.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Thank you, Senior."
The three kowtowed repeatedly toward Sikong Changsheng in gratitude, their foreheads striking the ground with loud thuds.
Yet faced with such a display, Sikong Changsheng did not help them up. Instead, he said with perfect calm: "If you insist on thanking someone, thank Chu Feng. If not for your connection to him, I wouldn't have bothered meddling in other people's affairs."
"Oh, and don't leave this square."
"Taking you in doesn't mean you're free to do as you please."
After saying this, Sikong Changsheng walked out of the square.
Chu Feng hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't thank me. Between us, that would just be putting on airs."
Hearing this, a smile broke through the tear-stained faces.
"Fine, we won't thank you just yet."
"We'll thank you once you help my Master remove the tracking Gu."
Jie Tiannian said.
"Deal."
Chu Feng nodded.
He then turned his gaze toward the Totem Dragon Clan leader and the others: "Senior, what about Bai Yunqing and the Xianhai Fish Clan?"
Although no one had proactively brought up those who were absent, Chu Feng figured they must have left for some reason. If something had truly gone wrong, Long Chengyu and the others would have informed him immediately. Still, he needed to ask in order to set his mind at ease.
"Oh, if you hadn't asked, I almost forgot to tell you."
"Bai Yunqing, Miss Yu'er, the Xianhai Clan Leader, and the others — they did all return after the Ancient Tomb closed."
"But later, Miss Yu'er and the Xianhai Clan Leader said something had come up in their clan that required them to leave for a time."
"So they took the entire Xianhai Fish Clan and departed."
"Before leaving, though, they left a letter for you."
As the Totem Dragon Clan leader spoke, he handed a letter to Chu Feng.
It was a special letter.
Only Chu Feng's aura could open it.
Chu Feng opened the letter, and information immediately flowed through his palm and into his mind.
In that instant, images of Little Fishy, Xianhai Shaoyu, and their parents and grandfather materialized in his thoughts.
"Friend Chu Feng, we are not sure of the reason."
"All of us in the Xianhai Fish Clan have sensed a summoning. The entire clan must return to our ancestral land."
Little Fishy's father said.
"Chu Feng, there's no need to worry. This kind of summoning is most likely a good thing," Little Fishy's mother said.
"'Most likely'? It's definitely a good thing! Son-in-law, don't you worry about us," Little Fishy's grandfather said with a beaming smile.
"Big Brother, Grandpa's right. You don't need to worry about us at all! Once we're done handling things, we'll come find you," Little Fishy said, her smile radiant and her tone lively.
"Mm, what Grandpa and Little Sister said is correct."
Xianhai Shaoyu chimed in as well, grinning from ear to ear.
It was clear that this whole family was in high spirits — they had most likely received wonderful news.
"Chu Feng, what's going on?"
At that moment, Eggy's voice rang in Chu Feng's ears.
The images just now had been visible only to Chu Feng, and Eggy was particularly concerned about matters involving Little Fishy.
