Yu Daohen arrived at the shop around 5:30 PM.
Qin Muyu, Liu Feng, and Yu Yijun were already in the front shop.
Upon seeing her father, Yu Yijun rushed into his arms, acting spoiled, "Daddy, did you miss your little baby?"
Yu Daohen, looking at the little girl's affectionate display, helplessly patted her head and said, "Of course, I missed you."
Qin Muyu coughed lightly and said, "Little girl, your daddy and I have something to discuss. You go to the backyard first."
Yu Yijun obediently nodded and headed to the backyard.
After Yu Yijun left, Liu Feng and Qin Muyu looked at Yu Daohen with serious expressions.
Yu Daohen, taken aback by their solemn countenances, asked, "What are those expressions for? I'm not dead yet."
Liu Feng gazed into Yu Daohen's eyes and said, "You must choose one of us today!"
"Huh?" Yu Daohen was utterly bewildered.
Qin Muyu glared at Liu Feng, "It's this serious, and you're still in the mood to joke."
Liu Feng chuckled, "I thought the atmosphere was tense, so I made a joke to lighten it up."
Qin Muyu was speechless and turned back to Yu Daohen, "We've found traces of the other two gods. This guy and I plan to check it out. If it's true, we must eliminate them on the spot."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen's expression turned grave, "Are you confident?"
Although he knew they were both powerful, they had struggled greatly last time fighting one, let alone facing two at once.
Liu Feng smiled faintly and assured, "Don't worry, they're just two great gods. We've killed them before."
Seeing this, Yu Daohen could only instruct, "If you can't win, come back quickly, and we'll face them together."
Qin Muyu nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to us."
Yu Daohen nodded, unbuckled the Kanglong Jian, and handed it to Liu Feng, "Take the Kanglong Jian."
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen and teased, "You care about me so much!"
He then deliberately glanced at Qin Muyu beside him.
As if to say, "See? This is true love."
Qin Muyu's face darkened. Yu Daohen quickly interjected, "Your strength is weaker, so keep the Kanglong Jian for self-defense."
Upon hearing this, Qin Muyu immediately brightened, "That's true. Your strength is weaker, so the Kanglong Jian should naturally go to you."
Liu Feng immediately protested, "What do you mean my strength? We've fought for so many years, and I've never lost to you."
Qin Muyu chuckled mockingly, "But you've never won either."
Liu Feng: "I ****."
Yu Daohen felt helpless. Here they go again.
Why do these two always bicker when they're together?
He really didn't know how they managed before.
Having gained the upper hand, Qin Muyu stopped talking and slowly uttered, "Incompetent rage!"
Liu Feng, hearing this, became even more indignant, "Qin, if you have the guts, let's see who kills that god first."
Qin Muyu chuckled dismissively, "Come on, as if I'm afraid of you."
The two got up, ready to depart. Yu Daohen was bewildered, "You're leaving now?"
Qin Muyu nodded, his expression turning serious, "We finally found the traces of these two gods. We cannot miss this opportunity."
"You..." Yu Daohen, full of worry, was about to give more instructions when Liu Feng interrupted, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about me."
"This..." Yu Daohen nodded and looked at Qin Muyu, "Be very careful!"
Qin Muyu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry."
Yu Daohen grunted. Liu Feng immediately spoke up, "Why aren't you telling me to be careful?"
Yu Daohen looked exasperated. Didn't you just interrupt me when I was about to say it?
"You be careful too!"
Hearing this, Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction.
"Self-indulgent. They clearly don't care about you," Qin Muyu said, and without waiting for Liu Feng's reaction, he strode out of the shop.
Qin Muyu's words were like a stab to the heart. Liu Feng immediately chased after him, indignantly saying, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself."
Watching them, Yu Daohen couldn't help but feel worried.
Are these two really going to be alright?
Yu Daohen sighed and began to ponder what he should do now.
The compass had already been handed over to the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.
The Haotian Fist was stationed at the Yanhuo Sect as agreed.
Wait, there was something else he needed to do.
Yu Daohen suddenly remembered that the deadline he promised Meng Dalong was within this week.
Damn it!
Yu Daohen turned to look outside the shop, only to find that they had long since disappeared.
He initially thought of taking out his phone to call them, but after some thought, he put it back.
This was not the time to make them worry.
If he lived his life under their protection forever, he would never grow.
He had to become stronger!
Strong enough to protect them!
Late at night~
Yu Daohen stood alone in the backyard, wielding two Samsara Blood Tear short swords and practicing his swings.
Now that he had the Samsara Blood Tear short swords as his weapons, he could safely give the Kanglong Jian to Liu Feng.
Yu Yijun, inside the house, looked through the window at Yu Daohen, who was diligently practicing his swordplay in the courtyard.
Why is Daddy suddenly so diligent?
Early morning~
Yu Yijun had just woken up and came to the front shop to find Yu Daohen already awake.
"Daddy, why are you up so early?" Yu Yijun asked in a milky voice, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Yu Daohen smiled faintly and looked at Yu Yijun, "Little girl, you'll stay at the sect for a few days."
Yu Yijun's small face showed a hint of confusion, "Daddy, why?"
Yu Daohen patted Yu Yijun's little head, "Don't ask so many questions, just go."
Yu Yijun obediently nodded.
Twelve noon.
Grand Elder Hu Ting arrived at the shop. Yu Daohen hurried to greet Hu Ting and led him to the tea table.
Yu Yijun obediently brewed tea and served it to them.
Hu Ting looked at Yu Daohen, "Sect Leader, what did you want me for?"
Yu Daohen had called Hu Ting to the shop last night.
Yu Daohen got straight to the point, "Elder Hu, have there been any recent developments in the sect?"
Hu Ting began to explain, "Recently, with Master Hao guarding us, other sects have been very respectful. As for the thirty disciples sent to support the encirclement, I've instructed Zhou Jingmin to accompany them, which should at least reduce casualties."
Yu Daohen nodded, "These disciples are the hope of the sect, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain."
Hu Ting remembered something else and said, "Oh, that kid Zhou Fu also went to the encirclement."
"That kid went too?" Yu Daohen frowned slightly.
Hu Ting nodded, "That's right. That kid said that the Sect Leader taught him the Huoli Zhan, and his chances of survival are higher than other fellow disciples."
