Just as Yin Qi was still hesitating, Hu Potato’s voice once again echoed.
“What are you standing there for?”
Hearing this, Yin Qi immediately smiled and jogged over.
“Mother, is my luck good today?”
“Don’t call me mother; I am not your mother.”
“You three brothers have grown wings and I can’t manage you anymore.”
As soon as these words were uttered, Yin Qi immediately pouted: “Mother, when did we stop listening to you?”
“If you listened to me, why aren’t you married yet?”
“Now that you’ve grown up, you should understand these things.”
“I never asked you to form alliances or to save the world.”
“I just want you to find a girl you like; why is that so difficult?”
“If you continue to live your lives all alone, how will I face you under the nine springs?”
Hearing this, Yin Qi immediately defended: “A few years ago, our father was trapped…”
“That’s your father’s business!”
Hu Potato interrupted Yin Qi directly by slapping the table.
“Saving the world is not something for you little kids to worry about.”
“If you had such great ability, why can’t you even deal with these little troubles outside?”
“You’ve read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles; have you really read thousands of books and traveled those miles?”
“Don’t think that walking the path most living beings walk will restrict your free will.”
“If you truly feel that way, then don’t call me mother; just live your own lives.”
“Thud!”
As soon as this was said, Yin Qi immediately knelt down.
“Mother, Yin Qi was wrong; I shouldn’t have made you angry.”
Faced with this situation, Su Wan’er, who was at the Mahjong table, quickly helped Yin Qi up.
Gently brushing the dust off Yin Qi’s clothes, Su Wan’er spoke: “Sister Hu, why say all that?”
“The child is still young; when they meet a girl they like, they will naturally marry.”
“Yin Qi, come here and help me see how this hand of cards looks.”
Saying this, Su Wan’er pushed Yin Qi onto a chair.
“What are you looking at; play the cards!”
Faced with Hu Potato’s reprimand, Yin Qi casually picked a card and played it.
“Hu!”
The three women pushed their cards down simultaneously.
Tu Jiao Jiao happily exclaimed: “Wan’er, your son is really good at playing cards; I must introduce him to a nice girl someday.”
Faced with this situation, Yin Qi helplessly looked towards Su Wan’er.
Seeing this, Su Wan’er smiled: “You play your own cards; I won’t take care of it.”
Just then, Xu Hu, who was playing Mahjong nearby, stopped his actions.
The other few also followed suit.
“Is it her?”
Kong Xuan asked indifferently.
“It should be her; the aura unique to the Tiger Cavalry is something we should deal with.”
…
In the Heavenly Court palace.
Looking at the bickering crowd, Ziyan felt his head was spinning.
He realized that these people weren’t arguing about plans; they were simply being unreasonable.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal colliding echoed in the hall, and everyone looked toward the entrance.
At the door, a person clad in bronze armor appeared.
The ancient bronze armor was covered in various scars, and an overwhelming aura sent chills down one’s spine.
The cold bronze mask further instilled fear.
At the same time, Ziyan’s pupils continuously contracted.
“Step! Step! Step!”

The figure stepped into the hall, one stride at a time.
“Has the Heavenly Court’s army become this chaotic?”
“Each of you, take thirty Divine Slaying Whips!”
Hearing this command, some younger generals wanted to argue.
“Swish!”
A cold gaze passed over, instantly silencing the younger general.
“With the great war imminent, military order must be maintained; disobey the military order? Decapitate!”
The person’s voice echoed in the hall, and Kong Xuan and others had already appeared on the throne at some point.
Sitting next to him were Qian Ya and Yang Jian.
Though Xu Hu was one of the three leaders, he had already given up his official position, so he did not qualify to sit with the Heavenly Court’s master.
“I am Gongsun Huaiyu, here to heed your orders!”
When this name was spoken, the pupils of all the generals rapidly constricted.
Gongsun Huaiyu, the founder of the World’s No. 1 Spring, the wife of the Supreme Saint of the academy, the direct disciple of Emperor Huangtian, the first leader of the Tiger Cavalry.
Her rank in the Heavenly Court was extraordinarily high.
Anyone who had entered the Mountain River Academy had to refer to her as “Grandmaster.”
And the Ice Fire Immortal King would have to call her “Master Ancestor”!
“General Gongsun, no need for formalities; with General Gongsun’s assistance, our Heavenly Court will certainly win a resounding victory.”
“With the great war approaching, lead the left army!”
“I will obey the command!”
Yang Jian stepped down from the throne and then cupped his hands in gratitude.
“Xu Hu, lead the right army!”
“I will obey, Your Excellency!”
With two commands issued, Kong Xuan looked towards Gongsun Huaiyu and spoke.
“The central army will have General Gongsun take charge.”
“I will obey the command!”
With the three commands issued, everyone completely lost their temper.
After all, if someone like Gongsun Huaiyu was willing to follow orders, then the rest had no qualifications to say anything.
After casually discussing some inconsequential matters, the many ministers of the Heavenly Court withdrew.
Once everyone left, Gongsun Huaiyu slowly took off the bronze mask.
The familiar face entered Ziping’s sight, causing him to instantly redden his eyes.
Seeing this, Gongsun Huaiyu smiled: “Silly boy, don’t you even recognize your mother?”
“Mother!”
Ziping called out and then tightly hugged Gongsun Huaiyu.
Looking at Nalan Ziping, who was half a head taller than him, Gongsun Huaiyu smiled: “You little rascal; it’s been so long since we met, and you’ve grown taller than me.”
“It seems Master has raised you well.”
“Stop it; as a man, don’t cry and wail, what kind of behavior is that?”
Upon hearing this, Ziping wiped his tears and said: “Mother, how did you come back?”
“The Master exchanged me with the Phoenix Emperor; otherwise, with the war brewing, how could I have time to return?”
“I have two purposes for coming back: one is to stabilize the Heavenly Court.”
“The other is to intimidate those fellows on the Four Directions Continent.”
At this moment, Xu Hu and Kong Xuan beside her also cupped their hands in respect to Gongsun Huaiyu.
“Greetings, Master Ancestor (Master) (Senior).”
Hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu smiled and waved her hand.
“Let’s skip these formalities.”
“Those who cultivate shouldn’t be overly particular; if we really go by rank, it would be a mess.”
“If you please, just call me Sister Gongsun.”
Saying this, Gongsun Huaiyu stepped forward and took the hands of Hu Potato and Su Wan’er.
“Thank you both for your hard work.”
“If it weren’t for you two, Ziping would not have grown up healthy.”
