"Of course not."

Chen Yuze smiled and pointed to the mountain path outside the courtyard: "Do you remember those monsters we managed to convert using physical means?"

"You mean, let the Golden Crow Clan also live on Evergreen Mountain?" Mo happy understood Chen Yuze's meaning almost immediately.

"Yes, Changqing Mountain is sparsely populated and can accommodate them. Moreover, it's easier for us to take care of them within Changqing Mountain. Even if Jin Liezhen sends people, we can react immediately."

“That’s not a bad idea.” Moxi nodded in agreement, then continued, “But then you’ll have to be responsible for these three-legged golden crow women for the rest of your life, right?”

"Taking responsibility is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime." Chen Yuze then made an X gesture with his hand.

"I'm just giving them an idea and helping them out when they need it. As for the rest, let their Seventh Elder handle it himself."

As he said this, Chen Yuze glanced at Jin Liya and asked, "Miss Liya, do you think what I said makes sense?"

“Senior Chen is absolutely right!” In reality, Liya didn’t understand what Chen Yuze and Moxi were saying at all.

All she knew was that this unfathomable senior had indeed promised to protect her and her people!

They no longer have to live in fear and wander from place to place every day!

Jin Liya's only concern now is that this will implicate Chen Yuze and his family: "Senior Chen, Elder Jin Lie is not easy to deal with. Are you really... willing to break ties with him for our sake?"

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Chen Yuze smiled calmly. "Besides, instead of worrying about us, you should worry about whether your Elder Jin Lie will unearth a whole bunch of gold coins on Changqing Mountain."

"This……"

Looking at Chen Yuze's confident face, Jin Liya's last bit of hesitation finally vanished.

"Senior Chen, may I use the communication array to tell my people this good news?" Jin Liya asked Chen Yuze immediately after barely managing to suppress her excitement.

Chen Yuze closed his eyes and nodded in response.

And then, not long after, he heard Jin Liya's excited voice.

Another joyful sound:

"Seventh Elder, Lord Yuanbao and her husband have agreed to protect us. Please bring our people to Changqing Mountain! We can finally stop wandering around in fear!"

215. The title of this chapter has run away from home (4K).

The next morning, Jin Liya, who had spent the night in a guest room, woke up.

Although the soft and warm bed had a magical power that made her want to lie there for a little longer, with her extraordinary willpower, Jin Liya still managed to crawl out of the intoxicating blankets, open the window, and stretch out.

After a quick wash, Jin Liya carefully stepped into the courtyard in front of the main house.

But as soon as she stepped downstairs, a wonderful aroma wafted into her nostrils, causing her to instinctively walk towards the kitchen.

"Ok?"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Chen Yuze, who was making breakfast, quickly noticed Jin Liya's arrival.

After temporarily putting down his work, he smiled and greeted the three-legged golden crow girl: "Good morning, Miss Liya."

Good morning!

Looking at Chen Yuze, who appeared exceptionally ethereal in the morning sunlight, Jin Liya quickly bit her lip.

Although it sounds unbelievable, the moment Chen Yuze turned around, her Dao heart almost broke down.

"Miss Liya, please relax. My family doesn't have too many complicated rules."

Looking at the girl, who still seemed somewhat reserved, just like yesterday, Chen Yuze asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's only been a little while since dawn, isn't it? Why don't you sleep a little longer, Miss Liya?"

"Because I want to go around and look around first, and choose a suitable place to settle down before the people of my tribe arrive at Changqing Mountain."

Slightly guilty, Jin Liya looked away. She wasn't lying to Chen Yuze; she was just afraid that if she looked at Chen Yuze a few more times, her Dao heart would start to waver again.

"There's quite a lot of open space on Changqing Mountain, but I'm not sure if your Three-Legged Golden Crow clan has any special requirements for your living environment. How about we have breakfast first, and then we can take a look together?"

"This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

For some reason, Jin Liya suddenly felt that the aroma of porridge in the air seemed to have become even stronger.

Despite having already abstained from grains, Jin Liya's mouth involuntarily produced a large amount of saliva at this moment.

"It's just breakfast, there's nothing wrong with it."

Amused, Chen Yuze pointed to the stone table in the courtyard and said with a smile, "Miss Liya, why don't you wait in the courtyard for a little while? By the time this pot of porridge is cooked, everyone should be awake by now."

"Then, Liya thanks Senior Chen in advance."

Seeing that Chen Yuze had already put it this way, Jin Liya naturally couldn't continue to refuse.

So, while waiting for breakfast to be cooked, she simply meditated in the yard and silently recited the Mind-Cleansing Mantra.

It wasn't until the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed that the girls gradually arrived in the courtyard, and breakfast officially began.

Although for Chen Yuze and the girls, this kind of breakfast was already quite ordinary.

But for Jin Liya, such a breakfast was an extraordinary luxury.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this breakfast is just a bowl of plain porridge with a preserved egg, and some side dishes like pickled vegetables and tofu.

But the key is that every grain of rice and every piece of vegetable contains an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

Just from that one meal, Jin Liya's skills improved by at least a month.

So much so that even after she had ridden Chen Yuze's peach wood flying sword for more than half a circle over Changqing Mountain, she still hadn't recovered from the lavish breakfast.

However, recalling how calm and composed Chen Yuze's family was while eating breakfast, Jin Liya ultimately didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps this breakfast, which seemed exceptionally luxurious to them, was just an ordinary meal for Yuanbao and the others.

"Speaking of which, Miss Liya, do you know approximately how many members of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan are coming to Changqing Mountain?"

There are probably more than three hundred people.

After patting her cheeks to cheer herself up, Jin Liya gave a more precise number.

Are there really that many people?

To be honest, Chen Yuze was indeed taken aback by the number of more than three hundred people.

After all, the Golden Crow clan was already very small, and Jin Liya's ability to bring more than 300 people at once was truly beyond Chen Yuze's expectations.

He even suspected that the Seventh Elder, whom Jin Liya mentioned, had abducted all the girls of the Golden Crow Clan.

"It seems we really need to find a larger piece of land."

……

At the same time, above an unnamed mountain.

On a jet-black flying boat, more than three hundred female members of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan were speeding toward the direction of Changqing Mountain.

On the deck, a woman who looked to be in her early forties was closing her eyes, providing the airship with a large amount of spiritual energy needed for its flight.

The mature woman's name was Jin Susu, and she was the Seventh Elder that Jin Liya had mentioned.

To steal this flying ship

The boat led the female clansmen away from the demon cave ruled by the Great Elder, and Jin Susu almost lost her life.

Fortunately, all of these actions were meticulously planned by her, and in the end, it was just a close call without any real danger.

However, Jin Susu had fled in a hurry and did not bring enough spirit stones with her.

Thanks to this, now that the spirit stones are exhausted, she can only use her own spiritual power as fuel for the flying boat.

"Mother, are we really going to place all our last hopes on Yuanbao, whom we've never met, and her husband?"

Beside Jin Susu, a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties and bore a striking resemblance to her was pacing back and forth somewhat uneasily.

"Hey."

Hearing her daughter's worried voice, Jin Susu opened her eyes with a sorrowful expression:

“Xiuxiu, where else can we go besides Changqing Mountain? The Great Elder’s men have been searching for us. If we can’t find a protector before they discover us, the women of our Three-Legged Golden Crow clan will be completely doomed.”

"But, doesn't Mother think it's a bit too reckless to entrust her fate to two complete strangers?" Jin Xiuxiu still couldn't quite understand her mother's actions.

"Furthermore, according to your original plan, Mother, shouldn't this escape have been carried out two years later? Why did you decide to execute the escape plan ahead of schedule this time, without sufficient preparation?"

"Because if we don't escape now, it will really be too late."

Looking at her daughter with a heavy expression, Jin Susu asked in a deep voice, "Daughter, do you still remember those mysterious people who suddenly appeared in the clan before?"

"Mother, are you referring to the so-called 'distinguished guests' that the First Elder mentioned?"

"Pah! They think they're honored guests?" A surge of anger immediately rose to Jin Susu's brow.

Recalling the conversation she overheard outside the Grand Elder's tent one night, half a month before she led the girls in their uprising and escape, Jin Susu clenched her fists even tighter.

"These guys are just trying to exploit our Golden Crow clan! Not only have they been providing the Grand Elder with fake tree sap, but recently they've also provided him with an extremely vicious drug. Once we take this drug, we'll completely lose our self-awareness within three days and become nothing more than breeding machines."

"Eh—!?"

Upon hearing her mother's explanation, Kim Soo-soo's pupils trembled violently.

"Mother, the Grand Elder has been promoting the fake tree sap within the clan for quite some time now. Could it be that those mysterious people had already begun contacting the Grand Elder a long time ago?"

"I don't know the specifics. But what I'm sure of is that the identities and strength of these mysterious people are definitely not to be underestimated, given that they can even manipulate someone like the Grand Elder."

As she said this, Jin Susu swallowed another bottle of pills to replenish her spiritual energy:

"The reason I chose to go all out to Changqing Mountain this time is because Yuanbao or her husband has the strength to kill the Thirteenth Elder. Rather than running around like headless flies like we are now, it would be better to work together with Yuanbao to resist the First Elder's impending wrath."

"But Mother, why were you so certain from the beginning that Yuanbao would cooperate with us?"

“Because she killed the Thirteenth Elder,” Jin Susu said matter-of-factly. “Since the feud has already been formed, do you think the Grand Elder will let Yuanbao off so easily? And even if Yuanbao hadn’t killed the Thirteenth Elder, given the Grand Elder’s almost obsessive and paranoid nature, he would have come to take her back sooner or later. Since our interests align with Yuanbao’s, then cooperation is naturally the best outcome.”

……

"Senior Chen, thank you so much for today."

In the Chen family courtyard, after disembarking from the peach wood flying sword, Jin Liya bowed deeply to Chen Yuze with exceptional gratitude.

Just as Chen Yuze said before, Changqingshan is indeed a great place with a vast land area and a sparse population, but abundant resources.

After a morning of surveying, Jin Liya had selected three locations that were suitable for the tribe to settle down.

Once the Seventh Elder and the others arrive, Liya can immediately take them to these three locations to take a look and then finalize the settlement.

"Miss Liya, you're too kind. I only carried you around Changqing Mountain for a short while, it didn't take much effort at all."

Amused, he wiped the peach wood sword in his hand with a rag. This Jin Liya was probably the most polite girl Chen Yuze had ever met.
