The Group Owner @ Reappears in the Jianghu! (Seeking Votes)

The Group Leader Returns to the World!

Granny breathed a sigh of relief, though she still hesitated.

This youth was the key to saving the Witch Queen. If the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader gained control over him, it would be hard to feel at ease.

Palace Master Lingyue said, "The Cult Leader's idea is good, but I see that this youth bears great fortune. I fear he will not easily let the Cult Leader have his way."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader said, "Just as Palace Master said, this youth possesses great fortune. If I were to take him back to Nanzhao, I fear it would disrupt the fate of the future. Therefore, I intend to secretly teach him a few cultivation methods. In the future, I will have to trouble Palace Master to look after him from time to time."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader remained calm. Naturally, he understood Palace Master Lingyue's concerns.

He was not a fool. How could he fail to realize how many variables were involved?

After learning of the future, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had already formed a rather vague plan.

However, traveling through time into the future involved far too many uncertainties. The slightest mistake could lead to even more terrifying changes. In Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's mind, the best approach was to preserve, to a certain extent, the integrity of what had already happened in the past while still changing the future.

To accomplish such a grand plan, he needed more preparation and a more comprehensive scheme. Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was still considering these matters.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader had never intended to change Li Xiaoyao's future path right now.

Teaching Li Xiaoyao cultivation techniques was more about forming a good bond, establishing a rightful connection, and making better plans for the great matters to come.

Granny and Palace Master Lingyue did not know Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's thoughts. They exchanged astonished glances, then both breathed sighs of relief.

If Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader took Li Xiaoyao away, they would be worried no matter what.

But now, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader merely intended to teach him cultivation while leaving him under Palace Master Lingyue's care. His sincerity was beyond doubt.

At this moment, even Granny, who had always hated Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader to the bone, could not help but sigh that he had truly changed.

Granny said, "That works too."

Palace Master Lingyue pondered for a moment before ultimately raising no objection.

Although she knew her time was short, for the sake of her old friend Lin Qing'er, she did not mind working hard for a few more years.

Seeing that the two agreed, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader smiled as well.

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, both of you have fallen into my grasp!

I'd like to see how Heaven can still destroy me!

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader said, "This child is of utmost importance, but I fear today is not suitable for me to impart teachings."

The two were taken aback. Then they looked at the bloodstained clothes before Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader and immediately understood.

Palace Master Lingyue said, "Indeed. If Cult Leader does not mind, you may recuperate on Immortal Spirit Island for a few days. As for imparting teachings to this child, we can make plans later."

This time, Granny did not object. Although she still did not look kindly upon Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, she no longer hated him as bitterly as before.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader looked somewhat troubled. He cautiously glanced at Granny and smiled wryly. "Would that... be somewhat inappropriate?"

When Granny saw Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's expression, how could she not know what he was worried about?

Although Granny was displeased, she was even more uneasy about leaving Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader outside. Who knew whether he might do something to Li Xiaoyao?

"Hmph, as long as you don't strut around in front of this old woman, it'll be fine." With that, Granny turned and left in anger, clearly still nursing lingering resentment.

Palace Master Lingyue helplessly shook her head and said apologetically, "Cult Leader, please do not be angry. She—"

Before Palace Master Lingyue could finish, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader hurriedly said, "This matter arose because of me. I should be the one apologizing to everyone. I will trouble Palace Master for the next few days. I only hope Palace Master will not find Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's presence bothersome."

Palace Master Lingyue smiled. "Cult Leader is too polite."

With that, the two leaped after Granny and headed toward Immortal Spirit Island together.

Chat Group.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "That concludes today's livestream. Thank you all for your support."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Damn, it's ending already?"

Little Yan Lingji: "Aiya, I still wanted to see Brother Moon-Worshipping's interactions with little Xiaoyao. Why is it ending already?"

Li Xunhuan: "Didn't Cult Leader say he still had to go back and see his adoptive father?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Exactly! I was still waiting for you to take Zhao Ling'er back and scare your adoptive father. This isn't what we agreed on!"

Everyone ground their teeth in anger and protested in unison.

We were still waiting to watch you turn things around and slap some faces. It was just about to reach the most exciting part, and you're telling us that's it for today.

Damn it!

I believed your nonsense, you rotten old man. You're really wicked.

Li Hao was also somewhat speechless.

Come on, I was really looking forward to you going back and slapping Elder Shi in the face. Why did it suddenly end?

That Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader must have done this on purpose!

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "The plan has changed slightly, and I need to carefully consider how things will develop in the future. So it can only end here today."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader sent Omniscient Li an exclusive red packet.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "@Omniscient Li, for being able to resolve this matter so easily, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader must thank the group leader for the cultivation technique and the Secret Record of Heavenly Secrets. I have no way to repay such great kindness, so I can only offer the crude methods I have learned. I hope the group leader will not disdain them."

Omniscient Li had claimed Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's exclusive red packet.

Congratulations, you have obtained Southern Frontier Gu Arts, poison arts, Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture, beast-taming arts.

As Li Hao listened to the Chat Group's successive notifications, he barely managed a smile.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's studies were quite varied. Aside from cultivation techniques used to strengthen his own magical power, he also possessed all sorts of miscellaneous secret arts and obscure knowledge—several dozen in total.

After Li Hao claimed the red packet, Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader asked, "Group Leader, may we pass on the cultivation techniques you uploaded to the group to others?"

At this, everyone's pupils constricted, and they stopped denouncing Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.

All of them could not help turning to look at Li Hao. Their gazes held anticipation, worry, and complicated emotions that were difficult to describe.

They were no longer newcomers who had just joined the group. They now had a thorough understanding of the cultivation techniques Li Hao had gifted them.

To put it bluntly, compared with their own techniques, those were immortal divine arts capable of granting longevity through cultivation!

They had never fully comprehended them before, much less considered teaching them to others. Now that they heard Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's question, they could not help growing nervous.

They had family members too, even disciples, and selfish desires of their own.

Li Hao said casually, "Since I gave them to you, naturally you may handle them as you please.

"But let me make one thing clear: you may freely teach others in your own worlds, but you must not casually upload them to the group. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately beamed with joy.

Being able to spread them freely in their own worlds was already more than enough for them.

As for not being allowed to upload them to the group, no one particularly cared.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Many thanks to the Group Leader, and to all the group members who came to support me. That's all for today's livestream. I'm logging off."

The livestream closed, and everyone withdrew from the scene.

The group remained lively. Everyone was still discussing Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's actions today while speculating about just how great the changes to come would be.

At the same time, they were curious about one question.

Just how much had Li Hao seen from them?

Faced with everyone's doubts, Li Hao did not elaborate.

Because he needed to @ someone and settle a matter that had troubled him for a long time.

Omniscient Li: "@Ip Man, wait a moment. There's something I want to discuss with you."

As for what choice Ip Man would make after learning of his own future, as well as Huaxia's future, that was another matter.

Silence!

The group instantly fell deathly silent.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "This is shortening my lifespan! Everyone, run! The Group Leader's @ has returned to the martial world."

Little Yan Lingji: "This is shortening my lifespan! Everyone, run! The Group Leader's @ has returned to the martial world."

Li Xunhuan: "This is shortening my lifespan! Everyone, run! The Group Leader's @ has returned to the martial world."

Little Dragon Maiden secretly lurked in the chat, trembling.

Scared, weak, but this sister was no longer helpless!

Only Ip Man looked completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand why everyone was reacting so intensely.
