“Yes, very good. Follow our plan to gather those scattered forces. As for me! I will temporarily enter seclusion to prepare for my breakthrough. Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important,” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

“If there’s anything you don’t dare to decide, discuss it with Grandpa and the others and decide on your own.” Leng Ruoxue looked at Leng Qingtian and the others and continued. What she implied was that if there was something that couldn’t be resolved, she would look for No to help. She believed that Grandpa and the others would understand.

“Yes,” everyone answered.

“Alright, go and rest early. Also, be careful and don’t leak the news!” Leng Ruoxue reminded them last.

Everyone nodded in unison and then left Leng Ruoxue and the others’ residences tactfully.

“Xue’er, why are you going into seclusion now?” Leng Qingtian asked in puzzlement after the main butler and the others left. He thought that Xue’er would only start her seclusion after the task was over!

“I feel like I’m about to break through these few days, so I want to work hard and see if I can break through successfully!” Leng Ruoxue explained. She shouldn’t be in seclusion for long this time.

“Oh, then go into seclusion first! We’ll enter seclusion after the matter here is over,” Leng Qingtian said. Since Xue’er already had a premonition, it shouldn’t be long before she could breakthrough. It would be a good thing for them if Xue’er could advance to become a Great Mystic! This way, their overall strength would be stronger!

“Yes, Grandpa. If you want to enter the space, just call Qing Jue by his name. If there’s anything you can’t solve, look for non-negotiable!” Leng Ruoxue reminded them worriedly.

“Hehe, Lass, enter seclusion at ease! We’ll settle the things outside,” Old Man Zao said hurriedly.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly and then brought everyone and the beasts into the bracelet.

“Grandpa, we’re going into seclusion.” Leng Ruoxue pulled the freak directly into the cultivation room in the purple bamboo hut after speaking…

For the next few days, Leng Ruoxue and the freak entered seclusion in the bracelet while Leng Qingtian and the others continued to gather and expand their forces outside…

Half a month later.

Everyone was gathered in the yard at the back of the mountain, and it was extraordinarily bustling.

“Eat and drink to your heart’s content, everyone! Don’t stand on ceremony!” Old Man Zao greeted everyone warmly and generously took out a lot of food.

“Haha, we won’t stand on ceremony.” Cheng Wu laughed out loud and said happily. He didn’t expect their mission to be so smooth. It only took half a month to complete the mission Leng Ruoxue gave.

In fact, it was all thanks to everyone’s cooperation because it became much easier to continue recruiting other forces after they recaptured numerous factions. After all, a large number of people had already lived in Myriad Mountain City for a long time and had been oppressed by the five major factions for a long time. Therefore, it almost didn’t take much for those people to take the initiative to pledge allegiance to them after knowing their thoughts. Now, almost all the scattered factions were in their control. Therefore, in just half a month, they were really the sixth-largest faction in Myriad Mountain City!

After completing the task Leng Ruoxue gave them, everyone relaxed for the time being. Today was the celebration party specially organized for them by Old Man Zao and the others!

“Good, now you look like a man!” Old Man Zao shouted excitedly!

“Everyone, drink less. This wine can get drunk easily.” Leng Qingtian looked at the excited crowd and had to remind them. These wines were refined with the spirit fruits in Xue’er’s space, and ordinary fruit wine could not compare to it. Moreover, the wine was stronger.

“Old Leng, everyone is so happy today. Don’t spoil the fun!” Old Man Zao immediately pouted unhappily when he heard that alcohol was restricted.

“Just drink to your heart’s content! I won’t care about you then.” Leng Qingtian shook his head helplessly.

“I know, I know. I know my limits,” Old Man Zao promised hurriedly, his mouth already reeking of alcohol!

“Hehe, Master Leng, don’t worry! I’ll watch over them,” the Head butler quickly promised.

“Yes, even though today is a celebration party, we have to be careful of the safety of the village,” Leng Qingtian reminded. Fortunately, their actions were very secretive and did not leak any news. Otherwise, how would they dare to hold a celebration party! Not to mention drinking.

“Yes, I’ve already arranged everything. Moreover, I won’t drink,” the main butler said hurriedly. He was now more respectful to Leng Qingtian and the others after interacting with them for more than half a month. They might not be as strong as him in terms of strength, but their experience in dealing with people and matters was not something he could compare with. He had a deep understanding of this!

“That’s good.” Leng Qingtian was relieved to hear that.

“Damn old man, you sure know how to make a fuss,” the old man sitting beside Leng Qingtian couldn’t help but say.

“Hehe, he has always been like that!” Leng Qingtian said helplessly. Old Man Zao was lively, jumpy, and sometimes like a child. Unless it was refining artifacts, no one could expect him to stay obediently.

“Alas! I’m done eating. I’m going to rest first.” The old man got up and returned to his room after speaking.

Soon, Leng Qingtian, Lin Liang, and the others returned to their rooms to rest. The lively scene in the yard continued until late at night…

The next morning, Leng Qingtian and the others saw people lying all over the yard when they emerged from their rooms. Some of them were even holding wine jugs. As for Old Man Zao, he ran to the only tree in the yard and hugged the tree trunk to sleep soundly…

“Haha, does this damn old man think he’s a monkey? He actually climbed up a tree to sleep.” The old man couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Old Man Zao sleeping.

“Wake him up!” Leng Qingtian shook his head helplessly. Alas! How much did he drink yesterday to be so drunk?

“Damn Old Man Zao, wake up!” The old man raised a leg and took the opportunity to kick Old Man Zao’s butt several times…
