Tang Yan comforted her softly. "Mother, don't worry. I won't act rashly, and I'll definitely resolve the feud between our families!"
"Mm. Think three times before you act." Zhong Jinxiu patted the back of Tang Yan's hand and earnestly reminded him.
"All right, I'll remember. It's nearly dawn. I'll head back first, and next time I come, I'll take you out." Tang Yan said.
"Go on," Zhong Jinxiu said gently.
Inside the Iron Cage, Tang Yan buried a Void Child Pearl for later use. Then he activated the Stars-Shifting Array, appeared outside the Earth Hall, and swiftly darted toward his courtyard.
At Mao Hour, Zhong Haobai and the people from the Eight Great Houses prepared to depart.
"Tang Yan, your identity is rather sensitive. Don't come along. Stay here and wait for news with peace of mind," Lin Jiuyuan instructed.
"I'll wait outside. I just won't enter the Otherworld Ruins," Tang Yan said.
"That works too." Lin Jiuyuan nodded. Tang Yan was very strong and wasn't a reckless person, so there was no need to worry.
Tang Yan spotted a little insect on the ground and picked it up. He secretly implanted a Soul-Thought Gu into its brain, then slipped it inside the clothing at Zhong Haobai's waist. "This is a custom in the Fragrance-Hearing Kingdom. It means may everything go smoothly."
Zhong Haobai suspected nothing, taking it for an odd custom of the Lower Plane.
The Grand Elder of the Artifact Forest took out a Flying Ship and carried everyone toward the Otherworld Ruins.
At the hour of Wei.
The Flying Ship reached the territory of the Otherworld Ruins.
Tang Yan cupped his hands toward everyone and jumped off the Flying Ship.
Then he donned the Heaven Concealing Garment, concealed his aura, and quietly approached the Otherworld Ruins.
