Return, Arrangements

"Thank you."

Bo Saixi held his shoulders with both hands, gently kissed his cheek, and her eyes were full of gratitude.

Yu Mingxiao subconsciously touched his face, looking a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Bo Saixi, actually, the reason I taught you how to condense your second Soul Core today was to help you improve your strength a bit before we parted, as a parting gift..."

"You're leaving?!" Bo Saixi's heart skipped a beat, and her gentle expression froze instantly.

Yu Mingxiao gently shook his head. "I'm sorry, I still have to leave eventually. I'll come to see you often when I have time. When I become a god, I'll come back to take you away from here."

He had stayed on Sea God Island for a while, but he was unaware of any changes on the mainland and needed to go back to check.

"Take me away..." Bo Saixi paused for a moment, then said sadly, "But I am the High Priestess of Sea God Island, I am indispensable, and the Lord Sea God will not let me leave with you."

"No one is indispensable." Yu Mingxiao shook his head. "Even if Sea God Island loses you, it still has the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians to hold it up. If all else fails, we can just find someone outside to take your place."

"There aren't that many people in the world who can pass the Top-level Trial, let alone succeed me..."

Bo Saixi sighed softly but said nothing more, assuming he was unaware of the details of Sea God Island.

Yu Mingxiao simply smiled without saying a word.

Finding talent capable of passing the Top-level Trial isn't actually that difficult; it's just that those people might not be willing to come to Sea God Island.

These things were still far removed from his own life, and he couldn't be bothered to think about them.

Anyway, as long as he successfully becomes a god in the future and keeps Bo Saixi by his side, the Sea God certainly won't stop him.

"Before you leave, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Yu Mingxiao asked, looking at Poseidon, whose face was filled with Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi hesitated for a moment, then gently took his arm and said softly, "Come back to the bedroom with me."

Is there anything that can't be said here?

Yu Mingxiao was immediately filled with doubt, but he let her pull him along as they walked towards the Sea God Temple.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The main road of the sect, shaded by green trees, was exceptionally wide. The disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan finished their day's cultivation and walked back to their residences in twos and threes.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian walked side by side. Disciples would come up to them from time to time to greet them, and the two of them would respond with smiles.

Yu Luomian is currently only an elder of the sect, with Soul Power of only level 72. In addition, due to insufficient seniority, he has not been able to become the vice Sect Master.

However, he is Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, and the two brothers are very close. They are often seen together.

Yu Yuanzhen said, "Luo Mian, Mingxiao sent a letter last time saying that he was going to go to sea to train at Sea God Island."

"How is Xiao now? I haven't heard from him in so long."

Yu Luomian gently shook his head. "Brother, communication at sea is difficult, and sending messages to the mainland is a huge hassle. But with Mingxiao's abilities, he'll definitely be safe on Sea God Island."

Yu Yuanzhen said, "That's true. Sigh, in the end, I still can't help but worry about the child."

"Brother, are you really not going to let Xiao Gang return to the sect? Letting him stay at the Thunder Academy might damage the sect's image, and it probably won't be good for his own development either..." Yu Luomian said.

Yu Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let Xiaogang stay at the Thunder Academy. Even if he doesn't learn any special skills, it's good for him to interact with people outside and temper his character."

Ever since the story of Yu Xiaogang poisoning and severing Scarface Kun-Kun with his fart spread, he has become utterly infamous.

Now, everyone at the Thunder Academy points fingers at him and looks down on him from the bottom of their hearts.

Such days made Yu Xiaogang extremely self-conscious. To avoid those strange looks, skipping classes became a daily routine, and he often wrote letters back to the sect, requesting to drop out of school.

But Yu Yuanzhen did not agree to his request. He felt that being neglected and looked down upon would force Yu Xiaogang to grow.

As members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, we should not be cowardly and shrink back when faced with challenges.

"Sect Master, the Young Sect Master has returned!" a direct disciple rushed in to report.

"Oh, Mingxiao's back? It's been so long since I've seen the kid. Come on, let's go straight to his house," Yu Yuanzhen said with a beaming smile.

The two went together to Yu Mingxiao's residence.

Yu Mingxiao had just returned to his own courtyard when he chatted with Dugu Bo about the current situation on the mainland.

Over the past few days, the entire Douluo Continent has undergone quite a few changes.

First, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall retired to the Worship Hall, and his son Qian Xunji succeeded him as Pope.

As soon as Qian Xunji became Pope, he immediately began to purge those who opposed him from within the organization, replacing many local temple masters and arranging for them all to become trusted confidants loyal to the Angel Clan.

Furthermore, he greatly expanded the influence of the Spirit Hall, establishing Spirit Hall Branch in small border towns such as Nuoding City.

Compared to Qian Daoliu's gentle and composed demeanor, Qian Xunji was far more assertive and aggressive.

This is naturally not a good thing for the Upper Three Sects.

But Yu Mingxiao didn't care at all. As long as he was strong enough, the Spirit Hall could not threaten him or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The scheming and power struggles among people ultimately stem from their own lack of strength.

"Mingxiao, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

Yu Yuanzhen smiled and stepped into the courtyard, where he immediately saw Yu Mingxiao sitting.

"Father, Second Uncle, what brings you here? I originally planned to return to the manor to settle in first, and then come to pay my respects to you."

Yu Mingxiao was somewhat surprised to see the two of them suddenly arrive.

"Haha, how was your time on Sea God Island?" Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but ask.

He only knew that there were many islands scattered overseas, but he had never heard of Sea God Island. He only heard the name from Yu Mingxiao.

Yu Mingxiao laughed and said, "Not bad. I accepted the test given by the Sea God and gained quite a few benefits."

Yu Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there really Sea God?"

"Father, don't disbelieve me, the Sea God really exists," Yu Mingxiao said. "In fact, the so-called god is just Soul Master's realm after reaching Level 99."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand."

Yu Mingxiao smiled and said, "Father, this time I came back to send Chen Xin and Gu Rong to Sea God Island for assessment, which will benefit their cultivation. If there are any suitable candidates in our sect, you can arrange for them to come over as well."

"I'll pick a date and arrange for them to travel together by boat to Sea God Island."

Before he left, he had already informed Bo Saixi that he would send someone to Sea God Island and have her send her subordinates to meet them. There was no need for any special treatment; they could simply be taken directly to the Sacred Pillar for the test.
