Thus, Bai Yue grew up coddled by the four elders.
Wherever Bai Yue went, twelve people would accompany her closely for protection. Six male guards and six female guards.
However, the year Bai Yue turned eighteen, she chose a guard and a maid for herself.
"That won’t do. Little darling must take more people when going out." The Great Elder shook his head like a rattle upon hearing Bai Yue intended to replace the twelve guards.
The twelve guards felt heartbroken; protecting the Young City Lord was their belief. Now that the Young City Lord didn’t want them, they felt like they didn’t want to live anymore, sobbing.
"I didn’t say to replace them, just let them stay at home. I draw too much attention when I go out. Let them wait at home, and I’ll bring them when I’m in White Jade City." Bai Yue explained, looking at the heartbroken guards.
"No way. For the little darling’s safety, taking more people is necessary. The strength of these individuals is very strong and can protect you well." The Great Elder resolutely disagreed with Bai Yue only taking two people out.
"Then let’s have a match." Bai Yue said straightforwardly.
The Great Elder agreed, realizing that proving through strength was a good idea.
As a result, Kong Hou and Dong Xiao teamed up and easily defeated the twelve guards.
Well, the Great Elder was left speechless.
"Don’t run too far, and inform us immediately if anything happens." The Great Elder advised worriedly, "Also, we placed everything you need for the journey in the Storage Bracelet. There’s a mount in the Spirit Beast Bag."
"Our little darling should indeed go out and gain some experience." The Fourth Elder quite agreed with Bai Yue going out to broaden her horizons.
"Make sure to send a message immediately if anything happens." The Third Elder advised.
"Tear that talisman and send it back if there’s any danger." The Second Elder advised uneasily.
The little treasure they held so dear in their palms was set to take flight, naturally making them uneasy.
In the end, Bai Yue left Sky City with Kong Hou and Dong Xiao amidst the elders’ reluctant gazes.
The city gate of Sky City had a massive dock extending outward. All Flying Boats arriving at Sky City docked here. Leaving Sky City also started from here.
The three, including Bai Yue, boarded a Flying Boat to depart. This Flying Boat was heading to the largest city in the south, Southwind City. It’s the largest affiliated city of Fenglan Sect.
"Master, this world surprisingly has beings like us." Kong Hou remarked in surprise, "However, they’re dormant beneath White Jade City and cannot be awakened."
"It’s not dormancy; it’s injury." Bai Yue said softly, seemingly a bit distracted.
"Master, what’s wrong?" Dong Xiao asked with some concern.
"I always feel this world seems familiar, but I don’t recall visiting this world. Even the elders feel inexplicably familiar, as if they’re truly my kin." So sometimes, Tianmiao unconsciously revealed her nature, her mischievous childhood nature. She was that mischievous as a child, and her father indulged her like that.
"Hehe, I actually find it natural when Master acts mischievous." Kong Hou laughed, "I didn’t expect Master was like that as a child. Super cute!"
"Moreover, this world contains great power, surpassing a typical Great World. It’s the most powerful Great World we’ve encountered so far." Dong Xiao remarked with awe.
"Let’s go and see the Fate-bearing person first. This task is both simple and complex." Tianmiao took out a bottle of candy pills and poured out a few, giving one to Kong Hou. These were candy pills specially made for her by the Third Elder, colorful and sweetly fragrant.
