With Nalan Rou’s tacit consent, Ye Luo began to study the Spirit Mother stone. In fact, Ye Luo also very much desired to gain Nalan Rou’s recognition, and, if possible, to learn something about the small world from her.

After all, Ye Luo had only arrived in the Martial Realm for one day, but his heart was filled with deep longing for Earth!

His two unborn children, Ye Luo hoped to personally witness their birth!

And his women, could it just end like this? Could it be that by coming to the Martial Realm, Ye Luo would simply give up on all his women?

No, it wasn’t just the women, but also Ye Luo’s brothers, friends, even his master...

These people had always been under Ye Luo’s protection, and now, due to an accident, Ye Luo had arrived in the Martial Realm ahead of time, alone. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But this did not mean that Ye Luo no longer wished to return to Earth!

Even if he couldn’t return, at the very least, he wanted to establish contact with Earth!

Ye Luo worked silently, in front of him lay a whole set of special tools specifically for crafting the Spirit Mother stone. Each and every time, Ye Luo had to be extremely careful, and equally swift, for should the essence of the Spirit Mother leak out while he was cutting, everything would be ruined!

Ye Luo did not know how many cuts he had made because, when concentrating fully, he had actually entered a selfless state of mind!

But finally, Ye Luo succeeded. A Spirit Stone, no larger than half a thumb, appeared before him.

This was the limit of what Ye Luo could achieve; if he continued to cut, he had no confidence that he could succeed.

"It can only be like this..." Ye Luo said lightly, but as he spoke, he felt an intense thirst.

This was due to the long period of silence and intense concentration, a consequence of such dedication!

Nalan Rou’s eyes were filled with astonishment!

The fact was, perhaps unknown to Ye Luo, Nalan Rou was very clear that Ye Luo had been working continuously for a whole seventeen hours!

In those seventeen hours, Ye Luo stood there without moving a single step!

Looking at the Spirit Mother stone brimming with vitality, Nalan Rou knew that she had stumbled upon a treasure this time!

This Ye Luo, with his skill in stone-crafting alone, was likely unmatched anywhere in Nan Zhou City!

"Someone come!"

Nalan Rou called out loudly.

After a moment, Nalan Chen walked in.

After all, since Ye Luo had entered, he spent several hours alone with the young miss. It would be odd if Nalan Chen wasn’t worried!

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

When she saw that it was Nalan Chen, Nalan Rou was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered: "Uncle Chen, your timing is perfect. Order that Ye Luo be promoted as a retainer of the Nalan Family, enjoying the treatment of a chief steward. Moreover, Ye Luo seems ignorant about many things, our Nalan Family’s library shall be unconditionally opened to Ye Luo!"

Nalan Chen was momentarily stunned, not understanding why the young miss would suddenly treat Ye Luo in such a manner. But when he glanced at the Spirit Mother stone that Ye Luo was focused on, he had an epiphany!

Such a master stone-crafter, if taken to the City Lord’s Mansion, would also be treated as an honored guest!

He never expected that this youngster also had such a skill hidden up his sleeve!

Ye Luo also heard these words, and his heart felt a slight joy. Everything else was insignificant to Ye Luo; what mattered the most was the unrestricted access to the library!

After all, perhaps the answers Ye Luo sought, might be found within the library, a solution to his conundrum.

Of course, what Ye Luo needed most right now was rest.

The exhaustion of Divine Sense from stone unraveling was really too heavy; one could say Ye Luo felt like his head was about to explode.

Although Nalan Rou had prepared a banquet for Ye Luo, he had no appetite and instead returned to his room and fell asleep directly.

...

At this moment, on Earth!

It was midday on Earth, and suddenly an elder arrived in the Mysterious Valley!

It was Xuan Ji!

As Ye Luo’s mentor, as well as a loyal servant who had guarded Ye Luo for a century, Xuan Ji was now in the valley.

Ye Luo’s sudden departure was bound to have an impact—it was impossible not to. Even though Luo Ji could vaguely sense that Ye Luo was not in danger, even though the Divine Kingdom had transmitted messages telling everyone to await his return.

But chaos was inevitable!

The Dragon Pavilion, Ye Alliance, Corpse King Palace, and other forces were still managed by Long Xiaotian and others, but there was no one to manage Ye Luo’s women.

Even Ling Qingya, at such a time, was too distracted to manage anyone else!

It could be said that from the moment they learned of Ye Luo’s sudden disappearance, all the women were either locked in their rooms, washing their faces with tears or in a state of gloom.

Xuan Ji’s arrival this time could be said to be for the purpose of stabilizing people’s hearts.

With Luo Jingxuan, Ye Luo’s maternal aunt, verifying Xuan Ji’s identity, and the transmissions from Elder Shi and others, plus Xuan Ji’s own immense strength, naturally, he was not suspected.

And Xuan Ji stayed in the valley silently in the role of an elder.

In fact, even Xuan Ji had not expected Ye Luo’s sudden departure.

The event happened too suddenly, and many matters were still unresolved, but since Ye Luo had already gone to the Martial Realm, what else could be done?

All Xuan Ji could do was to solve the family matters for Ye Luo as much as possible; of course, in Xuan Ji’s heart, this was also his duty.

Moreover, Xuan Ji brought a massive amount of Cultivation Techniques, as well as Elixir Formulas and more!

These things, originally kept hidden by Xuan Ji, were now all brought out by him!

From the time Ye Luo sent back his message, Xuan Ji knew that Earth, this small world, might become a support for Ye Luo, and now, cultivating every single talent was undoubtedly a help to Ye Luo!

Since Xuan Ji himself came from the Martial Realm, he naturally understood it better, and although he said nothing, he was teaching everyone through his own actions!

Everything was only to avoid unnecessary troubles when Ye Luo returned.

Of course, another vital point was that Xuan Ji had to stay in the Mysterious Valley.

Now that the Ye Alliance’s power had rapidly expanded, Xuan Ji worried that Long Xiaotian and others might become ambitious!

Earth was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface. Perhaps Xuan Ji did not understand it as thoroughly as the Hall Master of the Corpse King Palace, but after all, he came from the Martial Realm, so naturally, he knew more.

Guarding the Mysterious Valley was not just for Ye Luo’s women but also for the forces that Ye Luo had established himself!

During Ye Luo’s absence, Xuan Ji had to ensure that this group of people would not cause trouble!

As for Ye Luo’s future arrangements, Xuan Ji wouldn’t care or inquire about them, because ever since he had a frank talk with Ye Luo and revealed their true identities, Xuan Ji’s heart had returned to his role as an old servant!
