Hearing this, Potato smiled and said, “Sister, what are you talking about? Ziping is your son and also our son.”
“Is there a mother in this world who doesn’t love her own child?”
“Hehehe!”
“Both of you sisters are so knowledgeable and well-mannered; the teacher really found two good wives.”
“By the way, he should be Yin Qi, right?”
“I saw you when you were still a little kid.”
“Come over and let your aunt take a look!”
Gongsun Huaiyu pulled Yin Qi left and right, looking very pleased.
“That’s right, you have three parts of your father’s dominance, but you’ve inherited your mother’s calmness.”
“What a handsome young man; I’m sure many girls like you.”
As soon as this was said, the expressions of Yin Qi and Ziping changed instantly.
Seeing this, Potato and Su Wan’er “casually” mentioned the concerns they had for the two over the years.
“Kneel down!”
Both Ziping and Yin Qi knelt down simultaneously.
“Good for you, Nalan Ziping! As the elder brother, you should take the lead, but instead, you incite your two younger brothers to go against your mother.”
“If it weren’t for Hu and Wan’s good temper, I would have broken your legs.”
“They are too kind to teach you three a lesson; I will!”
“If in a thousand years you three are still unmarried, I’ll skin you alive!”
Facing Gongsun Huaiyu’s words, Ziping and Yin Qi could only lower their heads silently.
To be honest, they felt a bit envious of Chen Xiang, who was out, because at least she didn’t have to endure scolding.
After a cup of tea, under everyone’s persuasion, Gongsun Huaiyu finally calmed her anger.
“By the way, why did the teacher suddenly wage war on the Four Directions Continent?”
“The strength of the Four Directions Continent and the Eight Desolates Nine Domains is quite different; the teacher shouldn’t recklessly go to war.”
Regarding this question, Kong Xuan thought for a moment and laid out all the facts.
After listening, Gongsun Huaiyu dismissed it, saying, “A mere Four Directions Continent, what qualifications do they have to be arrogant?”
“If there weren’t a lack of manpower in the front, I would have sent troops to destroy it.”
Looking at Gongsun Huaiyu’s domineering demeanor, Xu Hu hesitated for a moment and said, “Is it really that dangerous up front?”
Once this was said, Gongsun Huaiyu sighed, “Dangerous is not enough to describe the situation; it should be accurately said as a struggle for survival.”
“This time back, I want to invite you several to assist in the battle.”
“I will tell you the truth later, but I must warn you first that the truth at the front cannot be disclosed to the teacher.”
“If you can’t do this, I’d rather not say anything.”
After speaking, Gongsun Huaiyu led the group to a secret room, leaving Ziping and Yin Qi standing alone in disappointment.
“Elder brother, why won’t mom let us hear the truth?”
“Because they don’t want to let us take risks.”
“But don’t worry, if they don’t let us go, our dad will.”
As the words dropped, a smug smile appeared at the corner of Ziping’s mouth.
……
Zhongzhou.
“Do you really not know the details about the Enlightenment Tree?”
“In response to my senior, I don’t know the details about the Enlightenment Tree.”
“I only know that Qingyang Sect has something that can enhance talent, but it is extremely dangerous to use.”
“I heard my dad mention it by chance; he said that the means to enhance talent was still immature and that I could only use it once it matured.”
Jiang Yongnian answered all questions obediently.
The elders of the four major sects furrowed their brows upon hearing this question.
Because from the answer of Jiang Yongnian and others, it could be inferred that Qingyang Sect indeed possesses treasures that can enhance talent.

However, because they were too young at the time and their strength was comparatively low, they weren’t very clear about the specifics and usage of this treasure.
Thus, the issue of Qingyang Sect was completely unresolved.
“We all know, you can leave now.”
The person sitting at the high position waved his hand. Jiang Yongnian bowed politely and turned to leave.
Halfway out, Jiang Yongnian suddenly stopped and said, “Seniors, I often hear my dad mumble a saying; I don’t know if it’s a clue.”
“What saying?”
“It seems to be something like, ‘One transforms into two, two transforms into three, one survives underground, one in a dry tree, one remains among them, what a pity! What a pity!’”
“Understood, go down and receive your reward.”
“Thank you, senior!”
Jiang Yongnian exited happily, but once he left, the hall fell silent.
“Is that thing it?”
“Hard to say.”
“That thing fell from the sky; who knows if there are any remnants left.”
“So, the Enlightenment Tree was caused by that thing’s mutation?”
“Possible.”
After a brief discussion, everyone fell silent again.
Everyone was pondering the meaning of the previous phrases.
At this time, someone conjured a map of the Four Directions Continent, marking two light spots on it.
One of the light spots was indeed the location of Qingyang Sect.
“‘One remains among them,’ does it mean that there’s still a large remnant in the middle of the two locations?”
After speaking, another light spot appeared between the two existing ones.
Seeing the marked position of the light spot, everyone frowned: “This place has been explored by countless people; if there really is a remnant, it’s impossible that no one has found it.”
“That thing is incredibly mysterious; it’s normal for others not to discover it.”
“It’s better to believe it exists than to not believe it exists; checking it out wouldn’t hurt.”
“That makes sense, let’s set out immediately.”
As the words fell, everyone disappeared from the hall.
Once the group left, a servant entered with a dull expression.
He opened his mouth to blow, and the same map reappeared in the air.
After remembering the information of the three light spots, the servant murmured, “The undertaker is just the undertaker; they understand so many strange techniques.”
……
Somewhere in the Four Directions Continent.
“I found it!”
After receiving a piece of information, the Cowherd clapped his hands in delight.
Seeing this, the Fraudster curiously asked, “How are you so sure they will leak the location of that thing?”
“Because this is a trap I intentionally set for them.”
“I had Jiang Yongnian tell them that ambiguous message so they would believe there were three parts to that thing.”
“The part belonging to Qingyang Sect is the smallest, the medium-sized portion has been discovered by them, and the largest has been hidden away.”
“With their intelligence, they will certainly suspect that the largest portion is hidden between the two known locations.”
“In this way, I can deduce their approximate hiding spot.”
After hearing this, the Fraudster grinned and said, “They are setting off to search now; what if they still can’t find it? How will you cover this lie?”
“Why bother covering it up?”
“If they discover it, then so be it; I’ve found what I want anyway.”
“Now it’s time for Little Black to make an appearance; after all, Little Black’s credibility is very ‘good’.”
