Chapter 3056: Chapter 3057: Three-Pronged Approach

The Zhong Family certainly won’t give up so easily, but if the group is too large, we must separate to avoid being exposed.

"When dawn breaks, Father, Mother, you take the children and Tu Ying to Gaochang first. We are on a mission to the Western Regions, and once in Gaochang, the Zhong Family won’t dare to act recklessly. Besides, I’m their main target," Bai Ruozhu said.

"What about you?" Tu Ying asked worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu smiled, "Do you think they can catch me? There are still some matters to handle here."

She then looked towards Ao Song and Astrologer, "Astrologer, you take Ao Song to find our senior brother, to avoid being caught by the Zhong Family."

Ao Song nodded, as she was no longer in a position to accompany Bai Ruozhu to Gaochang.

"I’ll send you a letter later. If the situation gets urgent, hide with the Jiuli Clan," Bai Ruozhu added.

"Thank you, Sister Ruozhu." Ao Song tugged on her hand, "You all take care too."

Bai Ruozhu looked at Astrologer, "Take good care of her."

"Hmm." Astrologer didn’t waste words, but no one doubted his capability.

They rested for over two hours and left Soul Mountain at the crack of dawn.

"Mom, I want to stay and help you too," Little Dengdeng said reluctantly.

Bai Ruozhu gently pinched her son’s little nose, "Your task is to protect your two younger brothers, can you do that?"

"I can! But..." He didn’t really want to play the leader of the kids, but faced with his mother’s gaze, he didn’t know how to refuse, ultimately leaving obediently with his grandparents.

Astrologer and Ao Song headed south, leaving only Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun.

"So, what’s the plan now?" Jiang Yichun asked.

"Catch some more sleep and wait for news from Xiaoxiao and Quanxin." She smiled at him, and with no one around, she pulled him into the Space.

With the Space as a hiding place, they weren’t afraid of the Zhong Family catching them, so they rested peacefully.

They slept until the Zhong Family found their way into the cave outside, waking them from their sleep.

This time, the sixth and fifth clan elders had come. The sixth elder said angrily, "They slipped away again. If it weren’t for Ning Ran’s interference, how could we still be searching?"

"Keep chasing them, they can’t have gone far." The fifth elder sighed, "It’s one thing for Bai Ruozhu and Ning Ran to collude, but why is Songsong so confused? She was almost killed by Ning Ran before."

"Killed? Did you see it with your own eyes? She returned claiming she almost died from backlash, then said Astrologer helped transfer the backlash. Who knows if it’s true? I think she was bought off by Ning Ran long ago; that girl hated us since she was little!" The sixth elder said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but curse, "I really want to go out and teach that old fool a lesson. He’s always against us, and now he’s badmouthing Ao Song. What is his motive? I think he’s the one with issues."

"If you want to take action, I’ll join you," Jiang Yichun said, already preparing for a fight.

Bai Ruozhu quickly stopped him, "Forget it, we’re here mainly to look after Xiaoxiao’s situation. It’s better not to clash with them, they’re just barking dogs, ignore them."

Jiang Yichun couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, my dear, have a seat and rest. I’ll go grill some fish for you."

Outside, the two elder clan members cursed a bit more before departing. It seemed unlikely that they could catch up with Gao Zhou’s group, while Ao Song and Astrologer had their own ways to escape, which Bai Ruozhu wasn’t worried about.

After eating grilled fish, Bai Ruozhu felt somewhat energized, washed her hands clean, and carefully opened the Sheepskin Scroll that Dengdeng had taken from the Mechanical Box, studying its contents intently.
