————————————The Christmas Divider————————————
"What did you say? The clan's mark has reacted?" An elderly woman with white hair and a face full of wrinkles that could trap a fly asked excitedly.
Having prayed in the Ancestral Hall for many years, this woman was dressed in white, but at this moment, she could no longer kneel and was trembling as she tried to rise.
A woman beside her, who was only a few years younger, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, repeatedly murmuring, "Ancestor, please take it slow; what will we do if you hurt yourself?"
"I have waited for decades; finally, the mark has shown signs of activity. How can I take it slow? Quickly, help me go see," the White-Haired Old Woman said with excitement. However, due to her advanced age, her legs were not cooperative, and she had to rely on the Old Sister beside her.
"You really... have you forgotten? You can't go out," the woman turned slightly and secretly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, reminding her softly.
Clang.
The old woman's hand slipped, and her cane fell down, causing her to sit back down on the Cushion.
Indeed, sixty years had passed; she had been trapped in this ancestral hall for sixty years. She never expected that in her lifetime she would hear news of the clan's mark reacting. In her excitement, she momentarily forgot that she was a prisoner.
"Forget it; my life is not long anyway. I won't worry about this anymore." Turning back to hold Old Sister's hand, the old woman said with tear-filled eyes, "It's just that I've burdened you to be imprisoned here with me."
The tears that the woman had managed to suppress fell again. The two elderly women's hands tightly clasped together, and neither could utter another word.
"Go take a look, but Baike has returned."
The leader of the Bai Clan, Bai Zhan, also received the news.
The Baike he mentioned is his Legitimate Daughter, the most esteemed woman of the Bai Clan.
"The lady has already sent someone to check, but they did not see the young lady return," the servant replied cautiously, lowering his head.
Bai Zhan, known for his ruthlessness and unpredictable temperament, is not someone easy to deal with, as evidenced by the fact that he imprisoned his own mother.
"Is it confirmed that the seal reacted? Could there have been a mistake?" Bai Zhan thought it was impossible; if Baike had not returned, then what was causing the seal's reaction?
"This... my status is humble, and I did not witness the seal's reaction," the servant stammered, being just a messenger. Trembling, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Hmph, useless thing." Bai Zhan kicked the servant away, sending him crashing against a pillar as he strode off.
"Master, you have returned." Bai Zhan's first wife passed away long ago, and now the matriarch of the Bai Clan is his second wife. Although she is a second wife, she has gained Bai Zhan's favor, and currently, she is in charge of the seal.
Seeing Bai Zhan rush in, she quickly stood up to greet him.
"Liniang, did the seal really react?" Bai Zhan tore off his cloak and tossed it to a maid before grasping Liniang's hand tightly.
Liniang signaled for the maids to leave and personally poured a cup of tea for Bai Zhan, indicating that he should not be anxious.
"Kerr hasn't returned, so why is this mark reacting?" Bai Zhan, impulsive by nature, was unwilling to listen to Liniang at this moment. Before the maid could close the door, he asked again.
Liniang was a beautiful woman who appeared delicate but was capable of managing family affairs; she was not an ordinary person.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in her narrow phoenix eyes as she signaled towards the shadows before sitting down to calm Bai Zhan.
"Master, do not be anxious. Although the young lady has not returned, this mark is a divine object. It may be hinting that she will return soon," Liniang said. The reason she had enjoyed Bai Zhan's favor for many years was that she understood him and knew what words would soothe his heart.
"What do you mean..." Bai Zhan realized he had spoken too much earlier. Not everyone in the Bai Clan was obedient to him, and if any rumors detrimental to him or Baike spread, it would be troublesome.
Liniang covered her mouth and smiled, nodding as she said, "Master need not worry; Liniang knows how to handle things."
That day, aside from a few servants who had died, there were no other disturbances in the Bai Clan. As for the dead servants, which large family didn't have its share of troubles? Moreover, the Bai Clan had been hidden for so long that outsiders were completely unaware.
"Nameless, are you sure we have left the secret realm?" Ouyang Zixin rubbed her eyes, uncertain.
—Master, we have indeed come out.
But wasn't the way we came out a bit strange?
She still remembered how early that morning Nameless had nearly driven her mad. After that, the two of them traveled west along the mountain range. According to Nameless, the spatial disturbance from yesterday originated from the east, so heading west would be safer.
Fine, they would go west, but how could they suddenly claim they had already exited the secret realm?
Ouyang Zixin remembered Rong Yi saying that one could only exit the secret realm if their cultivation had reached a certain standard, or if they gave up their cultivation and forcibly broke out.
There was no way to just walk out casually.
Well, walking out casually wouldn't be so bad. But the problem is, who can tell Ouyang Zixin where she is right now?
“Nameless…”
——Nameless does not know.
“……”
This is really unreliable.
No matter what, she should first find a place with people. When out and about, one can rely on their legs or their mouth.
Not knowing where she is, asking should be fine.
“Without my orders, do not appear easily.” To be cautious, it’s better that fewer people know about Nameless’s existence. After all, Ouyang Zixin already has enough ability to protect herself.
——Indeed.
Yuhai Continent, I Hu Hanshan am back!
No, it should be Ouyang Hanshan. Ouyang Zixin was in a good mood and ran all the way. It wasn't that she didn't want to enjoy the scenery along the way, but there was really no scenery to speak of. There are mountains everywhere, no different from those in the secret realm. The top priority is to find someone to ask for directions. In fact, the location where Ouyang Zixin came out was not too remote, and she soon found a village. She slowed down from a distance. After so many years of experience in the secret realm, she developed a good habit of being cautious. There happened to be an old woman collecting shoe soles at the entrance of the village. Ouyang Zixin stepped forward and asked, and she knew that this happened to be Exiled Nation. I'm really lucky that it didn't get spread to Dream Nation or Cloud Nation. Once you figure out the direction, the next thing will be much smoother. Ouyang Zixin After calculating the distance, she would be able to return to the Imperial Capital in about a month. If she hurried, she could arrive in twenty days at the earliest. Although the difference was only ten days, Ouyang Zixin couldn't wait any longer. You know, she had spent a full fifty years in the secret realm. Now that her family is close at hand, how can she wait any longer. Father, mother, and daughter are back. I recommend this book, it’s very well written. You can check it out [bookid=3638605,bookname=《Fox Charm and Flirtation》]
