The little cannonball was startled, but then her face bloomed into a rare gentle smile. She opened her arms slowly. “Little Junior Sister, you won’t give your senior sister a hug?”

Qiao Mu leaped into her arms for a tight hug. Her tears nearly gushed out.

She thought that her tears had long run dry the day that the Holy Water Sect got exterminated? It turned out that they hadn’t…

“Liar!” The little lady mumbled, “I thought you guys had all died.”

God knows her anguish that day she transferred everybody’s remains to the Peach Orchard Slope.

She thought that everyone in the sect had sacrificed their lives.

It wasn’t until today that she discovered that that wasn’t the case! She was both elated and worried after getting hit with such lucky news. She was apprehensive that she was dreaming.

“Big liar,” Miss Qiao grumbled.

They actually abandoned Qiaoqiao by herself in the Lower Star Domain, while the rest of them all ran to the Middle Six Prefectures?

“It’s a long story. We’ll tell you thoroughly later.” Yu Gui patted the little fellow’s head tenderly. “You’ve had it hard these past years.”

“Little Junior Sister, it’s really too great to see you.” Chen Hanzi and the other three also teared up and choked with sobs.

Yu Gui nodded with reddened eyes. Noticing that they were targeted by prying eyes, she said quietly, “Let’s leave this place first before talking.”

The little fellow looked up and nodded her fuzzy head.

They helped Fang Xu up and headed for the entrance while holding Qiao Mu’s petite hands.

Xu Xinran yelled from the seating area, “Yu Gui, Lu Ling, Chen Hanzi, you guys will regret your decisions today!”

On the Six Prefectures Continent, lone cultivators who did not belong to an academy or a clan would face many problems. This was especially the case for them, who were young and pretty girls!

They really weren’t going to turn back without hitting their limits!

They would one day know that without her Xu Clan’s protection, they would be stumped by obstacles in the entire Polan Prefecture!

Xu Xinran gazed coldly at the figures who left without turning their heads back. She clenched her fists with a cloudy expression: There will be a day you people come begging me!

“Who was that woman with a distorted face?” Miss Qiao inquired in curiosity.

“A baffling woman.” Chen Hanzi explained, “She thinks that her identity as the eldest young lady of Polan Prefecture’s Xu Clan places her a level above others. She wanted us to enter her clan as her servants.”

“She got distorted on her own after we ignored her.” Ming Xia said irritably, “You don’t need to bother with her. She thinks of herself as infallible.”

“Little Junior Sister, when did you come to the Six Prefectures Continent?” Yu Gui gripped the child’s hand and quickly pulled her along.

“I’ve come for a long time already.” The little lady raised her head to look at them.

“Classmate Qiao.”

Qiao Mu turned around and saw that her companions were waving their hands at her while smiling.

“Remember to come back earlier!”

“Mhm, mhm, it’s a happy occasion to encounter an old acquaintance in a foregin land!” The little fatty chuckled, “I feel like His Excellency the Venerable Immortal is correct. This is a cause for celebration!”

Qiao Mu cracked a grin and waved her petite hand at Crown Prince Mo. She then turned around to leave with her senior sisters.

Ma Ta rubbed his eyes. “I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I seem to have seen Qiaoqiao smile.”

“Ha ha, I feel like my eyesight also went funny for a moment.”

“Isn’t that right.” The little fatty shook his head.

Qiaoqiao had just smiled at them, right?
