As soon as this thought appeared in Hong Ze's mind, he instantly made up his decision.

He immediately said to the Golden Spirit Mother, "The content in this book was originally intended by me, your senior brother, to be taught to the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, so that he could quickly unify the Human Race.

Since you are interested in this book, you can take it and go to the Hua Xu Tribe.

After finding your Junior Sister Wu Dang, have her teach you the characters in the book.

At that time, you must understand these Three Strategies and Six Secret Teachings, and then you will pass the content of the book to Fuxi."

The Golden Spirit Mother nodded after hearing this, but before she could speak, the Holy Mother Gui Ling spoke up.

"See? Senior Sister Jin Ling, you still don't believe it. Eldest Senior Brother is biased towards Senior Sister Wu Dang.

Otherwise, how could he teach Senior Sister Wu Dang to read first, and not teach us?"

This time, the Holy Mother Gui Ling had caught him by the tail. Hong Ze could only shake his head with a helpless expression.

And on the head of the Holy Mother Gui Ling, he gave a light but firm rap.

Then he said to the Holy Mother Gui Ling, "You want to learn too? If you want to learn, then go with your Senior Sister Jin Ling.

However, I, your senior brother, think that even if Junior Sister Wu Dang teaches you, you may not be able to learn it.

After all, you can't even distinguish between characters and pictures, so how can you learn such complex characters?"

The Holy Mother Gui Ling was so angered by Hong Ze's words that she stomped her feet and beat her chest.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you underestimate me too much! How can I not learn it? It's just that you're unwilling to teach me, okay?"

After speaking, she stood up directly and walked towards Hong Ze's bookshelf, starting to rummage around.

She also wanted to find a book suitable for herself, and then go to the Wu Dang Mother to learn to read.

But after searching and searching, she ultimately couldn't find a single book that interested the Holy Mother Gui Ling.

In desperation, she just picked up a book at random and shook it at Hong Ze.

"I'll learn this one. When I learn all the characters on it, let's see if you, Eldest Senior Brother, still dare to look down on me."

At this moment, Hong Ze also saw clearly what book the Holy Mother Gui Ling was holding.

This made Hong Ze feel a little helpless, thinking to himself, How did this little ancestor manage to find this book?

It turned out that what the Holy Mother Gui Ling was holding at this moment was not a military book or strategy, nor was it any of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Instead, it was a Complete Book of Smelting that Hong Ze had copied at the request of the Great Dao System.

It not only contained smelting methods from ancient times to the present, but also recorded the high-tech smelting techniques of later generations.

At the same time, a large part of it was dedicated to recording sword casting methods.

Originally, these books had always been in Hong Ze's Cosmos Sack. Later, because of this Hong Ze Dao Palace, Hong Ze placed them on the bookshelf.

Now that the Holy Mother Gui Ling had picked it up, how could Hong Ze not feel helpless?

He immediately said to the Holy Mother Gui Ling, "This book is different from the one your Senior Sister Jin Ling got. It's a typical reference book.

Even if you recognize the characters in the book, you may not be able to understand the content. Listen to your senior brother's advice, you should change to another book."

As he spoke, Hong Ze had already arrived before the bookshelf and took out a copy of the Book of Family Names from it.

"Look at this, this is simple, definitely suitable for you."

Holy Mother Gui Ling glared fiercely at Hong Ze and reached out to snatch the Book of Family Names.

"I'll read both books. I'll definitely make you admire me then. Eldest Senior Brother, just wait to apologize to me."

After saying that, she pulled Golden Spirit Mother and walked out of the Dao Palace, not forgetting to make a face at Hong Ze.

Golden Spirit Mother was helpless and could only follow Holy Mother Gui Ling out of the Dao Palace while bidding farewell to Hong Ze.

Watching Golden Spirit Mother and Holy Mother Gui Ling leave, Hong Ze's face was filled with a helpless smile.

Little did he know that this unintentional act today would lead to a great opportunity for Holy Mother Gui Ling.

However, at this moment, Hong Ze wasn't thinking that much. Instead, he turned directly towards the backyard of Hong Ze Dao Palace.

Upon arriving at the backyard of Hong Ze Dao Palace, the first thing Hong Ze saw was Xiao Bai and Xiao She, who were feeding the koi he raised there.

At the same time, he heard Xiao Bai whispering to Xiao She, "Do you think Martial Uncle Gui Ling will steal the master's hens? I always feel like the way she looks at those hens is strange."

"Probably not. Although Martial Uncle Gui Ling is mischievous, she might not dare to steal the master's things."

"That's not necessarily true. Martial Uncle Gui Ling has been spoiled by the master. I'm afraid even if she moved our Dao Palace away, the master wouldn't bear to blame her even a little."

Hearing his two Daoist Attendants discussing Holy Mother Gui Ling, Hong Ze was also full of helplessness.

He thought to himself that he was indeed a bit too doting on Holy Mother Gui Ling, even to the point of indulgence.

In fact, Hong Ze was like this towards Holy Mother Gui Ling not just because she was his first friend.

The most important reason was that Hong Ze knew Holy Mother Gui Ling's ending, which could definitely be called the most tragic in the Jie Sect.

Seeing such a silly and adorable girl end up with her soul scattered, how could Hong Ze not feel heartache?

So, subconsciously, he showed a little more care for Holy Mother Gui Ling, and it gradually developed to the point of indulgence today.

He couldn't help but think to himself that he really should rein in this Holy Mother Gui Ling, otherwise, she might cause trouble in the future.

Just then, Xiao Bai and Xiao She also discovered Hong Ze and quickly got up to salute him.

At the same time, they didn't forget to ask Hong Ze, "Master, when did you come back?"

"I've been back for a while. I heard everything you two little fellows were just talking about.

From now on, you can't secretly talk about others behind their backs. That's impolite."

Seeing the smile on Hong Ze's face, the two little fellows' hanging hearts finally relaxed.

Even so, they immediately found an excuse and turned to run towards the front yard.

Looking at the backs of the two little fellows, Hong Ze's face once again showed a helpless smile.

"There was a time when I didn't have a sense of belonging to the Jie Sect. All I had was gratitude for Master's countless teachings.

But now? Now I actually feel a sense of home here. Yes, this is my home now."

As he spoke, Hong Ze had already arrived at the pavilion and reached out to pick up the qin placed on the stone table.

This qin had been placed on the stone table for tens of thousands of years, and no one had ever thought there was anything extraordinary about it.

They even thought it was just an ordinary ancient qin, after all, who would leave a good item lying around here every day?

Little did they know that this ancient qin had a very significant origin. Otherwise, Hong Ze wouldn't have kept it instead of giving it to Yun Xiao.

Hong Ze reached out and placed his hand on the ancient qin. As a stream of magical power entered the qin, it instantly emitted a ray of light.

At this moment, the ancient qin was enveloped in a massive surge of spiritual energy, highlighting its uniqueness.

It turned out that this ancient qin was none other than the Fuxi Qin, the companion spiritual treasure of the great Demon Clan sage, Fuxi, from back then.
