Huancang and Huoyu exchanged a glance, sharing an incredulous look as they resisted the urge to turn back and look at High God Ranxi.
Huancang said to steward Huantong, who had come over:
"I had urgent matters to discuss with Father, so I took the Teleportation Formation all the way back without resting along the way. That's why I arrived earlier than expected. Since I couldn't determine the exact time, I didn't send you a message."
Huantong nodded in understanding.
"So that was it. I have already informed the clan. Young Master, please leave the Teleportation Hall first."
As he spoke, he instinctively glanced at Yunxi, his scrutiny unmistakable. He had met all of the young master's attendants before, and a strange new face had appeared today. Naturally, he was exceedingly curious.
Huoyu, standing nearby, was still reluctant to part with Yunxi, but he too had to return to his clan. In the end, he exchanged a few voice transmissions with Huancang, then watched Huancang's group board a carriage pulled by Double-Winged Unicorns and head straight for the Illusion Sky Fox clan's territory.
Once Yunxi entered the carriage, she reduced her presence to the bare minimum. She wanted to visit the Illusion Sky Fox clan first. Once she had fulfilled her promise to Huancang, she would leave the Ninth Heaven as soon as possible.
Before that, however, she needed to ask Huancang to investigate Xun Kun's movements in the Ninth Heaven. At the very least, she needed to know which God Monarch he had become an attendant to.
Rarely, Huancang sat stiffly upright. Even Huantong could not help glancing at his young master twice. Huancang was the most indolent junior in the clan, always doing whatever was most comfortable for him. It was rare to see him sitting so properly.
