Setting Out, Returning to the Cloud Water Sect

"Baby, Grandma's darling, you're finally home! I've missed you so much."

Liu Li snatched Hua Sijun from Hua Qiang's arms and held her tightly, constantly asking her how she was doing.

"Honey, that bad guy didn't hurt you, did he?"

Let Grandma check him over and see if there are any injuries.

Gu Hongyan, Ye Wendao, and Hua Xingchen also gathered around, their eyes slightly red.

This period has been incredibly stressful for them; it feels like an eternity.

That feeling of being deeply worried and anxious is truly unbearable!

Afterwards, Hua Sijun was passed around in the hands of these four old people, each of them holding her in their arms, afraid that if they loosened their grip even a little, their precious child would disappear again in the next moment.

Ye Bingxue, Mo Yanran, Ao Miaomiao, Fu Linglong, Yokoyama Sakurako, Aidesha, and others all had tears in their eyes and were extremely excited.

As Hua Sijun's biological mother, she held Hua Xiaoyao in her arms, crying with tears streaming down her face.

Hua Qiang quickly pulled her into his arms, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her.

An hour later, everyone calmed down, and then a big meal was served to welcome the daughter back.

Three days later, the sunlight gently shone on the Modu Base, draping this land full of hope and the unknown in a golden veil.

Fang Family arrived one after another, their steps carrying both anticipation for the future and a hint of trepidation at the impending departure from their familiar world.

Those who were determined to follow Hua Qiang also gathered here with great anticipation.

Today, a special and meaningful wedding will be held here, a ceremony that will tightly bind the fates of Hua Qiang and the women together.

The wedding venue was not decorated with extravagant embellishments; instead, every detail was filled with sincere blessings.

The fresh flowers exuded a faint fragrance, and the colorful ribbons swayed gently in the breeze, as if they too were cheering for this unique and joyous occasion.

Smiles filled everyone's faces as they witnessed this emotion that had finally come to fruition across many countries and timelines.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Hongyan's family also traveled a long way to Hua Qiang's villa in Modu Base.

Their arrival added a touch of warmth to this already turbulent day.

Among these people were Hua Qiang's maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts, and his adorable nephews, who jumped and skipped around in the crowd, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Hua Qiang showed no objection to Gu Hongyan's family also entering the Small World and going to the Immortal Realm with everyone else.

In his heart, the Small World is not only a space full of infinite possibilities, but also a harbor that accommodates family affection and warmth.

He hoped his Small World would become lively, full of vitality and energy.

As the Small World expands further, he plans to continuously increase human resources, introduce talents from all walks of life, and enrich animal and plant resources, so that the Small World can become a harmonious, prosperous and thriving new world.

Cloud Water Sect is a secluded and tranquil place shrouded in mist.

Zhao Zhiqing was dressed in white, her brows furrowed, her face full of anxiety.

She hadn't seen Hua Qiang for a long time, and this sudden disappearance made her feel uneasy, like weeds growing wildly.

The first thing that came to her mind was Hua Qiang Chang's Slaughterhouse.

It was a place filled with bloodshed and noise, completely different from the tranquility of the Cloud Water Sect.

When Zhao Zhiqing stepped inside, the fishy stench made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't care about that.

She anxiously inquired about Hua Qiang from the Slaughterhouse's apprentices, only to receive the following reply: He hadn't been here for some time.

This answer made Zhao Zhiqing anxious and impatient; her inner worries overwhelmed her completely.

She couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts: Had Hua Qiang offended someone, and was he being secretly murdered?

The Cloud Water Sect appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

There are many powerful but malicious individuals within the sect who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Even if they don't take action themselves, the highly skilled elders behind them can easily put someone like Hua Qiang, who has no background, into a desperate situation with just a flick of their fingers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhiqing's heart clenched even tighter. She was afraid that Hua Qiang would really meet with misfortune, and that she would be powerless to help.

Meanwhile, Wenren Yu also felt like each day was an eternity during this period.

Hua Qiang's sudden disappearance shattered her sense of security.

She was restless all day long, unable to concentrate on anything, and her mind was filled with Hua Qiang's image.

What terrifies her even more is that she has felt like she's being watched these past few days.

No matter where you go in the Cloud Water Sect, a malevolent gaze follows you like a shadow.

She tried to find the source of that gaze, but each time she turned her head, she could only see a hurriedly passing gate or an empty path.

The feeling of being spied on sent chills down her spine, yet she had nowhere to escape.

She knew all too well that in this ever-changing sect, Hua Qiang's disappearance and her being targeted were perhaps not accidental.

Perhaps a huge conspiracy is hidden behind this, and the two of them are just small pawns in this conspiracy.

Wenren Yu dared not think any further. She desperately hoped that Hua Qiang would suddenly appear and tell her that it was all just a false alarm.

But as the days went by, there was still no news of Hua Qiang. The fear and worry in her heart continued to spread, as if she were shrouded in a gloom, making it hard for her to breathe.

Inside a magnificent sect palace, a tranquil atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

A woman dressed in a long black dress is sitting cross-legged.

She had a graceful figure and exquisite features, exuding an alluring aura, and was currently immersed in closed-eye cultivation.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

A woman dressed in the robes of a sect disciple rushed in excitedly.

"Senior Sister!"

The woman in black slowly opened her eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing in them, clearly annoyed by the abrupt interruption.

"What is it?" she Wen Dao coldly.

The female disciple quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior sister, the man you instructed us to keep an eye on hasn't shown up for a long time. We don't know if he's encountered some misfortune."

"Now only that woman is left. She stays at home all day, occasionally coming out to buy some items, and then she rushes back to her residence and locks herself in the room."

The female disciple paused slightly, a ruthless glint in her eyes, and then said, "Senior Sister, can we make a move against her now?"

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed across the woman in black's face, and a sinister sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.

"Bring a few men and teach her a lesson, give her a good humiliation!"

Let her know the consequences of offending me.

Her voice was icy cold, as if it carried the wind and snow of a cold winter, making people shudder.

The female disciple accepted the order, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, as if she were about to embark on an interesting game.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I will definitely handle it properly."

After saying this, he hurriedly withdrew, preparing to summon his men to carry out this malicious plan.

Hua Qiang glanced at the crowd in front of him, then waved his hand, and a huge portal appeared in front of them.

The doorway was wide open, and a golden avenue stretched out into the depths of a world.

After everyone had entered, Hua Qiang took back the door.

It's time to return to the Cloud Water Sect.
