Chapter 355: Chapter 355 Reunion of Father and Daughter (4)_1

Dugu Qianye stood up and walked around the Formation twice, memorizing its layout in her mind. "Father, I am not yet a master of Formation, but I will figure out how to break this Formation as soon as possible. Without absolute certainty, I dare not attempt it. So, you’ll have to wait here a bit longer."

Although he couldn’t leave immediately, Dugu Yixuan was already very happy in his heart. Knowing his daughter had grown up to be so outstanding, what more could he ask for?

"Anyway, I’ve been here for thirty years already; a few more years make no difference," Dugu Yixuan comforted himself.

Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "A few months at most, and I’ll come to rescue you."

"Okay." Seeing Dugu Qianye’s confident demeanor, he also believed that his daughter would soon come to rescue him.

Dugu Qianye looked over the Formation a couple more times, and after making sure she hadn’t remembered it wrong, turned to Xiaohuo who was flying around playfully in the air and said, "Xiaohuo, you stay here."

As soon as Xiaohuo heard Dugu Qianye’s words, it became anxious, flying to her side and swaying back and forth. Finally, it landed on Dugu Qianye’s finger.

Dugu Qianye was amused by Xiaohuo’s behavior and said with a smile, "I didn’t say I didn’t want you, I just want you to protect my father here."

The trembling Xiaohuo suddenly straightened up and then wound itself around her finger again, looking reluctant to part.

"Xiaohuo, flames will occasionally burst in here and harm my father, so I need you to control them and keep them away from the Formation, okay? Who else has this ability besides you, right?" Dugu Qianye said.

The dispirited Xiaohuo immediately perked up upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, and its adorable appearance made Dugu Yixuan burst into laughter.

Xiaohuo seemed to consider for a moment, feeling that it was rare for its master to entrust it with something important and it would be bad to refuse, so it rushed up and down a few times to signify its agreement, then flew above the Formation and stopped.

"Father, with Xiaohuo here, other flames won’t dare to come close. You should have an easier time. The Spirit Fruits and such inside the ring are also good for you now, as they can help restore a bit of your Spiritual Power. Don’t forget to consume them. I’ll head back first and try to deduce the method to break this Formation as soon as possible," Dugu Qianye instructed Dugu Yixuan.

"I know, be careful in all matters," Dugu Yixuan nodded and said.

Dugu Qianye, accompanied by Xiaohuo, came out and then called forth Jiang Yu.

"What happened?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I need you to set up an Illusion Array here to make everything look the same as before, so the Spiritual Beasts won’t find the exit," Dugu Qianye said. If any Spiritual Beasts ran in and destroyed the Formation after they left, it would be problematic.

Such a simple task? Jiang Yu clasped his hands, released white Spiritual Mist, and very soon, the area looked the same as before.

"Done. From now on, even if the Spiritual Beasts know there’s an exit here, they won’t be able to get in and will just circle around outside," Jiang Yu said.

"Thank you," Dugu Qianye sincerely thanked him, then she put him back into the Skeleton Earring.

"Xiaohuo, let’s go."

Xiaohuo reverted to its original form, carrying Dugu Qianye as they flew upward. Although Yan was no longer there to lead the way, the flames still proved no match for Xiaohuo. Soon, they emerged straight out of the Flame Abyss.

The Mutated Fire Scorpion that had been lingering nearby never left. Upon seeing Dugu Qianye depart, it crawled onto the riverbed to investigate. The previously destroyed area showed no signs of disturbance; they went underground to check, but still couldn’t locate the exit and eventually had no choice but to give up. Fearing Dugu Qianye might return, they hastily left and decided to keep their distance whenever they saw her in the future.

After exiting the Flame Abyss, Dugu Qianye and Xiaohuo flew towards Zi Xiao and the others, spotting them sitting on the oasis, occasionally glancing in their direction. When they saw Xiaohuo bringing Dugu Qianye, both stood up to watch them approach.

"How did it go?" Zi Xiao asked as Dugu Qianye dismounted from Xiaohuo, embracing her to check for injuries. It was only after seeing she was unharmed that he relaxed.

"It went well. I’ve dismantled the Formation, and after some research back home, I should have no problem cracking it," said Dugu Qianye.

"Then we should head back quickly. It’s almost time," Hao Pengyou said.

"Alright." Thinking of Lan Mei’s speed, she called out for Lan Mei and then rode it back to the Dugu Clan with the others. They only switched to Hao Pengyou’s Little Wu when they were close to the clan.

She was now considered useless, and if her Contract Beast appeared, it would give everything away.

"Tomorrow is New Year’s Day, and by then, those few will surely make their move. Rest well tonight, as Great Grandmother said there will be a family gathering tomorrow, and we all must attend."

In previous years, the Dugu Clan didn’t pay much attention to the New Year. For those who cultivated, such a day was no different from any other. But this year, under the acting clan leader’s direction, Sister Feng San organized a gathering for everyone to attend, which primarily meant sharing a reunion dinner together.

Although Sister Feng San mentioned it had been a long time since they had all dined together as the reason for the gathering, people within the clan were saying it was because Dugu Qianye had returned. They wanted to introduce her to everyone and highlight the favoritism she received in the family, thus the special family meeting was held in her honor. Because of this, many felt discontent.

Why should someone considered useless receive so much affection?

Before the New Year, Sister Feng San had already been spending entire days asleep, so the organization of the gathering was left to Dugu Qianye’s grandparents.

When the members of the second and fourth branches heard about the gathering, they secretly rejoiced. That night, the Great Elder and the Third Elder stayed in their room for a long time, discussing who knows what—only they were privy to the conversation.

On the last evening of December, Dugu Qianye, Zi Xiao, and Hao Pengyou headed towards the mountain opposite them. The dinner for that night was arranged there, in an open-air dam.

"Qianye!" Dugu Qianye had just arrived when someone called her name. Looking over, Dugu Qianqian was waving at her.

Walking over, she found that the table was filled with children from her eldest uncle and fourth uncle. The three of them took their seats there. Little Qianlin saw Dugu Qianye and ran over to hug her leg, saying, "Sister Qianye, where have you been these last few days? I couldn’t find you anywhere."

Dugu Qianye looked down at Little Qianlin, the little lad, and pinched his cheek, replying, "Sister went to stay at her brother’s home for a few days."

"Humph, Sister Qianye went out to play without taking me along. I won’t like you anymore," Little Qianlin pouted.

"Hehe, next time Sister goes out to play, she’ll take you along, okay?" Dugu Qianye laughed, "But you need permission from your mom and dad, alright?"
