Upon hearing Lu Hongdou's timid question, Lu Bai trembled violently.

His eyes reddened slightly. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the surging heartache and guilt within him, trying to make his voice sound as calm as possible: "Hongdou, wait for Third Brother to come back. If Third Brother doesn't come back... then go knock on that house's door. Absolutely no one can know about the storage bag, understand?"

Lu Hongdou's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but suddenly a commotion arose around her.

"Look, that immortal's flying boat is here again!"

"Did the immortals finish their visits so quickly?"

"..."

Lu Hongdou trembled, her eyes almost overflowing with fear, and she abruptly turned her head to look at the horizon.

The enormous flying ship was flying towards Dongwang Town at an extremely fast speed, its flowing spiritual patterns leaving a faint seven-colored trail in the sunlight.

Lu Cheng's pupils contracted. How could this flying boat be so fast?

When we flew over Dongwang Town just now, it was definitely not this fast!

He looked at Lu Hongdou and said urgently, "It's too late, Hongdou! We can't stay together! You run there yourself!"

As he spoke, he bent down to put the red beans down.

However, at that very moment, a gentle yet irresistible force suddenly froze him firmly in place.

Lu Hongdou, who had been struggling desperately in his arms and trying to hold on tightly, was also imprisoned by that force.

The two of them were as if they were sealed inside transparent amber, unable to move.

They stared in horror, while the mortals around them remained completely oblivious.

Seeing that the flying boat slowly came to a stop above Dongwang Town, they all immediately knelt down devoutly, put their hands together, and muttered incantations.

After the airship came to a stop, a figure gracefully descended from the deck and flew straight towards the location where Lu Bai and Lu Hongdou were.

As Lu Bai watched the figure getting closer and closer, a sense of despair filled his heart.

too fast!

This powerful figure actually locked onto them so quickly!

They even imprisoned them in place, unable to move at all!

This power was something he simply couldn't resist!

Wang Dalu stood before Lu Bai and Lu Hongdou, ignoring the mortals kneeling and praying around them.

He spoke in a flat tone, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "Young Master Lu Bai, Miss Lu Hongdou, the young master invites you both to board the ship."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle spiritual energy lifted Lu Bai and Hongdou up together.

The moment my feet left the ground, all I could hear was the sound of the wind.

Lu Bai's face was deathly pale. He looked down at Lu Hongdou in his arms and gave a bitter smile: "Hongdou... I'm afraid we'll die here today."

Lu Hongdou was terrified. She bit her lip and dared not make a sound, only tears silently rolling down her cheeks.

Wang Da spoke up at this moment, his tone still completely calm: "Young Master Lu Bai, Miss Hongdou, rest assured, the young master will not harm you."

Lu Bai and Lu Hongdou were taken aback when they heard this.

Lu Bai turned to look at Wang Da's profile, and asked with suspicion, "Who is your young master? He wouldn't harm us, so why did he capture us?"

Wang Da calmly replied, "Because the young master knows that Young Master Lu Bai intends to leave Miss Hongdou alone, and he is somewhat worried about it."

Lu Bai: "????"

He was filled with questions, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Damn it, if you guys hadn't come charging in so aggressively, would I have left Hongdou all alone?

Still not reassured?

Who the hell is this damn young master?!

Lu Bai cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on his face.

He was about to ask a few more questions when he found himself already on the deck of the airship.

The deck was as spacious as a small square, and the Spiritwood flooring gleamed with a warm, dark golden luster in the sunlight.

Not far away, several middle-aged men and women with deep auras were surrounding the two people.

Lu Bai's gaze was immediately drawn to the young man in the white robe.

A breeze swept across the deck, gently tugging at the young man's clothes, making him look as if he had stepped out of a painting.

The first thought that popped into Lu Bai's mind was: My goodness... Is a celestial being descended to earth?

Then a second thought popped into my head: Wait... why does this immortal look so familiar?

Before a third thought could even form, Lu Hongdou, standing beside her, widened her big, red eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Fourth Brother?!"

Lu Bai: "??????"

He did indeed think that this guy, who looked like an immortal descended to earth, resembled the fourth brother somewhat.

But he subconsciously rejected the idea.

How could the fourth brother possibly have such a grand entourage?

However, when he saw the young man next to this person, his expression froze instantly.

Damn it... Lu Cheng is actually here?!

He turned back again and looked at the handsome young man who seemed almost unreal.

Then, the young man strode over, a warm smile spreading across his face: "Little Red Bean, long time no see!"

Lu Bai's expression froze instantly.

He opened his mouth, but the tone of his voice changed: "...You're really the fourth brother??"

At this moment, Lu Bai clearly felt the power suppressing him disappear.

While Lu Bai was still in shock, Lu Hongdou broke free from his embrace and charged towards Lu Yang like a small cannonball, crashing solidly into his stomach.

Lu Yang's physique is now extremely strong, and fearing that he might hurt Lu Hongdou, he quickly tried to soften his stomach as much as possible.

He scooped Lu Hongdou up in his hand, looked at the chubby little girl in front of him, and his smile grew even brighter: "Little Hongdou, did you miss your fourth brother?"

Lu Hongdou's eyes were still a little red and swollen, but her smile was exceptionally bright.

Hearing Lu Yang's words, her round little face immediately hardened. She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Lu Yang, and gave a heavy snort: "Hmph! You bad fourth brother! You clearly promised to come back to see Hongdou every year! You broke your promise!"

The soft, sweet voice of a child echoed across the deck, each word deliberate and forceful.

Lu Yang did feel somewhat guilty.

He pinched Lu Hongdou's round little face, then smiled and said, "It was Fourth Brother's fault. This time when I come back, Fourth Brother will take you to the market and buy you a gift to make up for it, how about that?"

Lu Hongdou wasn't really angry to begin with, but her eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really?!"

Lu Yang nodded repeatedly: "Guaranteed authentic!"

Lu Hongdou crossed her arms, striking a pose like a little adult, and said with her head held high, "Alright then, Hongdou forgives you!"

Lu Yang was amused by her appearance and couldn't help but pinch her little face, which felt so soft and tender that he didn't want to let go.

On the other side, Lu Cheng had already walked up to Lu Bai.

Seeing Lu Bai still standing there dumbfounded, Lu Cheng waved his hand in front of him with annoyance: "You really scared me to death, kid. You actually wanted to leave Hongdou there all by herself?"

Lu Bai only snapped out of his daze upon hearing this.

His eyes instantly turned red, and he grabbed Lu Cheng by the neck, gritting his teeth as he said, "You two bastards! I thought the Lu family had been wiped out, and that the people on this flying boat were here to eliminate us completely! You were scared to death?! You were more scared than me?!"

Lu Cheng's tongue was almost sticking out from being pinched. He hurriedly slapped Lu Bai's arm and struggled, shouting, "Cough cough... It wasn't me! It was Fourth Brother's flying boat! If you're going to pinch someone, don't pinch me!"

Hearing the commotion, Lu Yang quickly said, "It's really not my fault! I was just taking a flying boat home, who knew you'd think so much? Look, you even scared Hongdou to tears. Luckily, Wang Dayong found her when he used his divine sense to investigate, otherwise Hongdou would have been left there alone!"

Upon hearing this, both Lu Cheng and Lu Bai felt uneasy.

The two released each other, turned their heads, and stared at Lu Yang with green eyes.

"Fine! Fine! Fourth brother, you're actually turning the tables on me?!"

"That's right! You're the culprit, Fourth Brother!"

The two men exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed malicious smiles.

They rubbed their hands together, slowly approaching Lu Yang, their feet stomping on the spirit wood floor with a dull thud.

Lu Cheng: "Fourth brother, if you're so capable, then don't let these seniors stop us!"

Lu Bai: "My foolish younger brother, today as the older brother, I have to teach my disobedient little brother a lesson!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the two were saying.

He sighed softly and said calmly, "You two don't really think I'm still the same person I was back then, do you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently placed Lu Hongdou aside, and then began to move his wrists as well.

The joints cracked softly, sounding particularly crisp in the breeze on the deck.

"We'll know once we fight!"

Lu Cheng and Lu Bai grinned maliciously and charged towards Lu Yang from the left and right respectively.

However, the next moment, their vision blurred and they each received a merciless thud on the forehead, followed by a sharp pain in their heads.

The two of them screamed in agony, clutching their foreheads and crouching down at the same time, tears streaming down their faces from the pain.

They looked up at Lu Yang, their faces full of resentment.

Lu Bai covered his forehead, grimacing, and said, "Fourth Brother, you actually used magic?!"

Lu Yang chuckled, rubbed his fist, and smiled smugly: "Do I need magic to deal with you? Foolish second and third brothers. Let me tell you some despairing news: my physique is stronger than that of an average Qi Refining Peak Body Cultivator."

Lu Cheng: "?"

Lu Bai: "?"

Their expressions froze simultaneously.
