Seeing that the Preliminary Tournament had finally settled, Ning Bei exchanged a glance with Little Angel, then nodded to her.
After returning to the sect, Ning Bei went straight to Ning Fengzhi.
"Father, when the time comes, you, Bone Grandfather, and Sword Grandfather should take the little ones to Spirit City. I have something to do and need to set off ahead of time!"
"Oh? Are you thinking of...?"
Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback, then seemed to think of Ning Bei's fourth God Trial, and deep worry filled his eyes.
Ning Bei nodded, confirming his father's guess, then spoke to comfort him.
"Rest assured, Father. I've already made every possible preparation. Nothing will go wrong."
"All right, then be careful in everything. Spirit Hall isn't like—"

"Just rest assured. Leaving aside my Soul Beast companions, if I really can't beat them, can't I just hide in Ice God Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up after hearing that. He really had forgotten about that.
"Then I won't nag you any further. If there's anything you need help with, just say so."
After saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei headed straight outside Heaven Dou City, where a luxurious carriage was already waiting.
"How did it go? Did you settle it with your father?"
"Hmm? Isn't he our father?"
Qian Renxue gave him a lovely eye-roll and smacked him reproachfully.
"You bad guy, can you stop always trying to score cheap points with your mouth?"
"Haha, I'm kidding. I've already told him. What about you?"
Qian Renxue knew he was asking about Xue Ye, and nodded as she said, "I've already told Xue Ye. I'll go to Spirit City first
