When he saw Wu Xie still standing there dumbfounded, holding the medicine bottle and not feeding it to Elder Zuo and Elder You, he became somewhat annoyed and said, "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you feeding them the medicine? Do you want to watch them die?"

I thought I had said some very emotional things to express my gratitude to him, and that even if he was hard-hearted, he should be a little moved. But I didn't expect that he would not only not be moved, but would also criticize me so loudly.

Han Wuxie said pitifully, "I don't know how to explain when they wake up. After all, the longevity elixir and the antidote are things that a little girl like me can't get my hands on. I'm afraid they'll interrogate me, so I wanted to wait for you to come back and ask you what I should do."

Hua Qianye was taken aback, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. Had she made this child too dependent? She had gradually gotten used to waiting for her to solve problems she couldn't solve herself, which was not a good thing.

"Longevity Immortals aren't something that's easy to digest. They'll be in a coma for at least ten days to half a month. When they wake up, your maternal grandfather and the others will also be back. They'll naturally assume that it was your maternal grandfather who saved them, and that it has nothing to do with you."

"Phew!" Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Looks like I worried for nothing. I seem to know too little. I need to read more books in the future, otherwise, this kind of joke will definitely happen often."

After Han Wuxie gave the two longevity elixir and antidote, their complexions improved significantly, but they remained unconscious.

"Now, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?" Hua Qianye asked, squinting.

"Good news, huh?" Han Wuxie frowned.

"The good news is that your uncle is not dead, he's just being held hostage."

"And what's the bad news?" Wu Xie frowned even more. If it was a kidnapping, who would they threaten after taking them hostage? Obviously, it would be his grandfather and the others!

"The bad news is that your grandfather and the others went to the Boundless Sea to their deaths. The Demon Lord has already set a trap and is waiting to ambush them."

"What?!" Han Wuxie jumped up and down in a panic. "You should have said so as soon as you came in! Let's go save them!"

Hua Qianye rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: I didn't intend to save them when I came in! Why did you have to say it? If you hadn't said so many flattering words of gratitude, I wouldn't have bothered going to such a dangerous place.

However, despite his thoughts, Hua Qianye acted without hesitation. A blue spiritual flower appeared in his palm, and the flower detached from his hand, gradually growing larger in mid-air.

"I'm putting your brother in the heart of the flower. I can't leave him in such a dangerous place. I'm going to put him in the ring. Only there is the safest place."

"A spatial magic item that can hold living things?" In my memory, even the best spatial magic items could only hold inanimate objects.

Hua Qianye rolled her eyes and coldly reminded him, "If it can't hold living things, wouldn't my artifact spirit have died a thousand times over? Enough with the nonsense. It takes us seven hours to get there from here. If you waste any more time, we might just be going there to collect corpses!"

Wu Xie quickly shut his mouth and placed his younger brother Tianci on the center of the flower. The petals closed up, and the whole flower turned into a bud, transforming into a dazzling blue light that entered the ring on Han Wu Xie's finger.

Watching her younger brother disappear, Wu Xie's eyes were filled with worry, but she dared not waste any more time asking any more questions.

Looking into her eyes, Hua Qianye said gently, "He'll be sleeping soundly inside the flower bud, so there's no need to worry about his safety."

"Thank you." Han Wuxie nodded obediently. She wasn't worried about her younger brother, but she was worried about her mother and grandfather. She couldn't calm down, and her anxious gaze made people want to hug her and comfort her.

Hua Qianye's gaze softened, and she involuntarily reached out, only to withdraw it with a bitter smile. What was she doing? Was she reaching out to hug her, to comfort her? She was merely a soul; perhaps it was best to forget it!

"Little girl, I'll disguise you as an old man and impersonate a Celestial Lord. It'll only be your aura that makes people think you're a Celestial Lord. I can't actually make you as powerful as a Celestial Lord, so you mustn't act rashly. When I tell you to act, I'll launch my attack accordingly. Only then should you make your move, understand?"

"Mmm." Wu Xie nodded obediently. Wu Xie was especially well-behaved now. She knew that the only person she could trust and rely on now was Hua Qianye. If she couldn't save her mother and grandfather this time, Hua Qianye would really be the only person she could trust and rely on.

Hua Qianye nodded in satisfaction, silently chanting profound and difficult-to-understand Sanskrit incantations. The runes he uttered transformed into individual rune characters in the air, which seemed to be lined up neatly, circling around Han Wuxie's body, gradually becoming denser and denser. The blue rune characters, carrying a dazzling light, resembled the silk threads spun by silkworms, seemingly wrapping Wuxie into a giant cocoon. As Hua Qianye's voice disappeared, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the entire sphere of light formed by the blue runes shattered like an egg.

The person standing there now was no longer Han Wuxie's small figure, but a robust and burly old man.

Wu Xie blinked, curiously waving her hand in front of her eyes. Looking at her enlarged hand, a rough one with calluses, she was startled and covered her mouth. With her hand covering her mouth, she naturally touched her face, which looked old and wrinkled, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She pouted and complained, "Wouldn't it be so much better to be like my great-uncle, with white hair and a youthful face? Why did I have to become so old and frail? It's so uncomfortable." Realizing her aged voice, she frowned uncomfortably, unaware that her current face, when furrowed, looked extremely fierce and menacing.

Looking at her face, now that of an old man, and her pouting, mournful expression from the past, Hua Qianye stumbled and almost lost her balance.

He swallowed hard, barely managing to suppress his nausea, and coughed twice, saying, "How can you scare people if you don't look fierce and menacing? If you were like your great-uncle, with that ethereal, benevolent look, you'd probably be surrounded and killed before you even exchanged a few words with the demons. How could I protect you then? Remember, your body is still your own; it's fragile and will break at the slightest touch. Even if I gave you a Saint-level battle suit now, you could only withstand a few hits. A few more hits and you'd be dead! Making you look fierce and menacing will at least intimidate enemies, making them wary and test your strength before attacking! As long as they don't attack right away, I'll have time to strike. I'm confident I can instantly kill a Demon Emperor."

Han Wuxie said with a bitter face, "Others can't see you. Why don't you just get close and kill them instantly? Why do you need to borrow me?"

A large hand formed from the wind patted Han Wuxie's head. He put on a stern face and said seriously, "I've noticed that you rely on me too much, so I want you to experience the feeling of combat firsthand. Although it's dangerous, I can save your life. I think if this battle were to break out, you would definitely gain something from it."

Han Wuxie followed Hua Qianye out of Yunrou Manor. Everyone inside the manor was now unconscious, clearly because Ji Yi had drugged them. Along the way, Hua Qianye told Han Wuxie about Ji Yi's identity, his purpose, and his alliance with the Demon Realm.

When Ji Yi, who was bound and unable to move, saw the old man walking out of Yunrou Manor, she could already sense the aura of an immortal lord on his body.

"Senior? It's you?" Ji Yi remembered what this senior had said before: those who saw his face were all reduced to ashes. She couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that he had just entered and obtained the Hongbao, and now he was afraid that she would tell the Demon Lord about him obtaining the Hongbao, so he wanted to kill her to silence her!

Hua Qianye stood beside the old man that Wu Xie had become, and said in a voice that only Wu Xie could hear, "I told him before that if he saw my face, he would be reduced to ashes."

Wu Xie rolled her eyes. This guy is too good at bluffing, isn't he?

Hua Qianye put away the Immortal Binding Rope and said something to Wuxie. Wuxie pretended to reach out and put away the Immortal Binding Rope, then casually repeated Hua Qianye's words, saying, "Get up and lead the way for me. It's been so many years since I've stretched my neck. Today I should really see how much power the Demon Lord will use to besiege the experts of the Han family."

Ji Yi stood up, but almost fell over again because of the other person's words. She asked timidly, "Senior, are you going to save the Han family?"

Wu Xie heard Hua Qianye's languid voice: "From now on, you can improvise on your own. You don't need to follow my instructions!"

Wu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly. It was finally time to vent his anger. This ingrate in front of him, even if his father saved his grandfather, he shouldn't act like this! Since he dared to harm the Han family, he was no longer his grandfather's adopted son, nor a member of the Han family, and he would not be polite to him!

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way! If you dare to play any tricks, I'll kill you right now!" Wu Xie roared in what she considered her most ferocious voice, because now her voice was that of an old man. This roar was indeed very powerful, scaring Ji Yi so much that she didn't dare to utter a sound.
