Chapter 927: Little Sly Jiang Stealing Eggs! Father and Daughter Meet! (1)
Sikong Ye’s decision was agreed by everyone. The trip to the Sorcerer Clan was filled with danger. He had yet to recover from his injuries, and no one could bear to let him take the risk. Moreover, he had protected enough people in his life. If not for the Sikong family, he would have long left the Nether Capital with Lan Yi. He had missed Lan Yi, at least he would not miss his daughter.
Sikong Ye packed his things. He did not have much luggage, only a few changes of clothes along the way. Most importantly, he wrapped the memorial tablet of the Saintess of Lan Yi in cloth and carried it tightly on his back.
He had only brought Jinghong from the Chaoyang Hall.
“Ancestor.” Sikong Changfeng walked towards him. For some reason, he had a feeling that the Ancestor would not return to the Nether Mountain even though he did not bring much luggage. “Will you… come back?”
Sikong Changfeng voiced his doubts.
Sikong Ye said, “I don’t know.”
After living for the Sikong family for so many years, he only wanted to live for Lan Yi and his children for the rest of his life.
He would guard wherever they were.
Sikong Ye turned around and looked at the Chaoyang Hall bathed in the morning light. There was no longer any complicated expression in his eyes. Instead, he revealed a relieved smile. “The Nether Mountain is yours.”
“Ancestor—” Sikong Changfeng felt as if his chest had been torn apart, and tears could not help but well up. He had lost his mother when he was young and was not liked by his biological father and stepmother. It was the Ancestor and the Nether Mountain who had given him a place to protect. Although the Ancestor did not see him often, as long as he saw him, he would teach him without reservation. It was because his natural endowments were clumsy and he could not inherit the Ancestor’s mantle.
In his heart, the ancestor was a family closer to him than his father. He could not bear to part with the ancestor.
Sikong Ye did not say anything else. He patted his shoulder and turned to say goodbye to the other disciples.
On the other hand, the Little Gu and the Ten Thousand Gu King were also going to part. Just like how the Little Gu wanted to protect Yu Wan, the Ten Thousand Gu King also wanted to protect his master.
It and its master were already old, but be it its Gu life or its last journey, it had to be by its master’s side.
Little Gu hugged the Ten Thousand Gu King’s big claw and rubbed against it with tears in its eyes.
The Ten Thousand Gu King drove hundreds of Thousand Gu Kings into different jade bottles. This was food prepared for Little Gu because it was worried that it would be hungry.
Next was the whereabouts of Yu Shaoqing, Madam Jiang, and the three little fellows. Initially, she was worried about what her parents and the three little fellows would do. Now that her great-grandfather was going to Nanzhao, it was really suitable.
Sikong Ye was naturally glad to see it. He was happier than anyone else to be with his Little Ah Shu and the three little babies.
However, Yu Shaoqing insisted on traveling with Yu Wan. Whether his daughter and son-in-law went to Nanzhao or came to the Ghost Clan’s Nether
Capital, he could not accompany them. This time, he did not leave them behind no matter what.
After all, he was a top expert who could defeat twenty Blood Rakshasa with his bare hands. His daughter needed him!
His attitude was firm, and Yu Wan could not refuse. She could only agree to go with him.
Little Sly Jiang’s luck was not so good. It was useless even if she acted coquettishly. Who asked her to be so sick and weak? Yu Wan was worried that she would hurt her body on the way and wanted her to return to Nanzhao with Sikong Ye no matter what.
Seeing Madam Jiang pout aggrievedly, Yu Wan whispered, “Great-grandpa doesn’t know how to take care of children. I’m relieved with Mom around.”
Madam Jiang and the three little black eggs boarded the carriage back to Nanzhao with tears in their eyes. Those who knew would say that they were going home. Those who didn’t know would think that they had been abandoned.
At noon, the two groups left the Nether Capital and went in different directions. About evening, the two groups arrived at their first habitat. Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao, and the others entered a forest, but Sikong Ye set up a tent by the stream.
Jinghong went to the stream to catch a few fish and made a roasted fish. After the few of them ate, Sikong Ye brought the three little black eggs back to his tent, while Little Sly Jiang slept in another tent.
Jinghong sat by the fire and guarded the night.
In the middle of the night, a small head quietly stuck out of the tent. It looked around and after confirming that no one had discovered it, it tiptoed out of the tent.
The little figure silently disappeared into the night.
The night was very quiet. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. After a while, the little figure that had already walked far away turned back with a whoosh. It pounced into Sikong Ye’s tent and carried something out..
