Ji Youzhi stood up, looking at her as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Uncle Seven, for the sake of the hundreds of people on Yunzhou Island, we must give it our all!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youzhi blinked.
He did not know how powerful the Array of Heaven was, but seeing Xiaosuisuiâs serious little face, his heart couldnât help but tense up a bit.
"Suisui!"
"Uncle Seven! His Majesty, my adoptive father, the beautiful sister, Princess Ata, and Li Yanyan were all forcibly sent away by Great-grandfather and the others!"
"What?" Ji Youzhi was bewildered.
How could this have happened?
"Uncle Seven!" Xiaosuisuiâs voice cut through his confusion. "We canât break this Array of Heaven, but we also canât die!"
Xiaosuisui walked ahead, talking to Ji Youzhi as she moved.
"Uncle Seven knows you will definitely succeed in breaking through the array."
The corners of Xiaosuisuiâs mouth twitched.
She couldnât understand where Uncle Seven got this confidence from.
But considering her own phenomenal luck ever since she started spending time with her uncles from the Ji Family, Uncle Seven must have just taken it for granted.
"Uncle Seven, this is the Array of Heaven. Do you understand what that means?"
Ji Youzhi replied, "Judging by its name, it sounds grand and must hold profound significance. This array must be quite formidable."
"This is more than formidable; itâs downright deadly! My grandmother just said something. Do you want to know what it is?"
"Ah! You saw my mother? Where? Why didnât you call me?"
Xiaosuisui touched her forehead, completely exasperated.
Uncle Seven, how did you even become a Divine Hunter? Donât you know that I can enter dreams? Yet youâre still asking me where I saw Grandmother?
"Ah!" Ji Youzhi couldnât help but rub his head, chuckling. "My bad! I just got a bit nervous and forgot, alright?"
"But speaking of which, you were sleeping just now to meet your grandmother. Why didnât you pull me into the Dream Realm with you, so I could see my mother too?"
Xiaosuisui rolled her eyes so far up they nearly reached her eyebrows.
"Uncle Seven! Has anyone ever told you that youâre like a big fool?"
Ji Youzhiâs expression instantly darkened.
"Li Suisui! I am your Uncle Seven! Is it really appropriate for you to say such a thing about me?"
"But Uncle Seven, you really are being foolish! Weâre in such a dangerous array. If we both entered the Dream Realm at the same time, who would protect us?"
Ji Youzhi was speechless.
"So, you entered the array and just stood there, waiting for me to come and protect you?"
Xiaosuisui nodded. "Exactly!"
Ji Youzhi raised his hand, but after a long pause, he couldnât bring himself to strike her. He lowered it, silently reminding himself,
Sheâs my dear niece, my own, my own!
"This place is a vast expanse of white, with nothing to indicate anything. How are we supposed to break through the array?"
After walking for a long time, the place seemed endless. They encountered no green mountains or clear waters, much less any cities or signs of human life.
Xiaosuisui stopped. "This isnât right!"
"What isnât right?" Ji Youzhi asked.
Xiaosuisui murmured in confusion, "We entered the array from different places, but Uncle Seven, you were able to find me when I stood still. That means this place should have an end. So why, after we set off together, canât we reach it? Why arenât there any clues at all?"
"Could it be that we havenât triggered that point yet?"
"That point?"
Xiaosuisui suddenly recalled everything that had happened since she arrived on the island.
"Uncle Seven! I suddenly have a question!"
"What question?"
"Back when you rushed from the Capital City to Ling Village, what was your first impression when you saw me for the first time?"
"My first impression? Of course, I liked you a lot. Youâre my only sisterâs child, and you were so pretty and cute. I resolved to dote on you for a lifetime and couldnât bear to let you suffer!"
Xiaosuisui stopped in her tracks, looked up at him, and then sat down cross-legged right where she stood, refusing to move.
"Whatâs wrong? Did Uncle Seven say something incorrect?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "No! You said it very well."
"Then why are you looking at me with such disappointed eyes?"
She just stares at me, and now sheâs suddenly sat down to meditate and wonât move?
"Iâm not disappointed, just a bit worried!"
"Worried? Suisui! Uncle Seven feels like youâre getting smarter every day. When I first met you, you were still a young child who loved Feifei. You were reckless in everything you did. Youâd even act shamelessly and pester people. And you were such a silly child youâd try to make a little white rabbit eat meat."
