Just as the two were about to enter, Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao hurried out to meet them.

When he saw Chen Ang, Teacher Xing Tian's eyes lit up instantly.

Hurrying forward, he grabbed Chen Ang's wrist. After looking him up and down, he had Chen Ang spin around in front of him a few times.

Confirming that Chen Ang was uninjured, he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging for so long was finally set at ease.

"You're both okay, that's great, that's great."

Watching Teacher Xing Tian's joyful appearance, the smile at the corners of Chen Ang's mouth continued to widen.

"Master, don't worry. We were quite smooth this time; I've already obtained the Fire-Red Flowers."

As soon as he said this, both Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao were stunned for a moment.

Sensing the aura of Chen Ang and Wan Shitong, the two had calculated the time and figured that Chen Ang hadn't been gone for many days. They had thought he returned in failure, but they didn't expect him to have succeeded?

"Chen Ang, did you really get the Fire-Red Flowers?" Teacher Xing Tian asked, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Yes, I really got them, and not a small amount. Master, we have a major discovery this time. Shall we go inside and talk?"

After hearing Chen Ang's words, Li Lao hurriedly pulled Teacher Xing Tian from the side.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go inside to talk about whatever it is. They must have suffered quite a bit on this trip to the Sin Prison. Now that they've finally returned, let them rest first. Let's go in first."

Since Li Lao had spoken, Teacher Xing Tian hurriedly cleared the way, and the group walked toward the house together.

Returning to their familiar place, the hearts of Chen Ang and Wan Shitong finally settled heavily. As the breath they had been holding was finally released, a sense of exhaustion instantly washed over them.

Scanning the bed, Chen Ang discovered that the bedding was flat and empty, and An Xinyi, who had been lying there when they left, was no longer there.

Forcing himself to perk up, Chen Ang asked about this matter.

After turning his head to look, Teacher Xing Tian said with a smile: "He has no major issues now. Perhaps he was trapped for too long a while ago, so he loves to go out now that he's better. I don't know where he ran off to this time."

Learning that An Xinyi was already better, Chen Ang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Reaching toward his chest, Chen Ang took out the Fire-Red Flowers. When the last Fire-Red Flower was taken out, the tabletop was basically piled full.

Looking at so many Fire-Red Flowers, both Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao were somewhat dumbfounded.

Previously, they had thought Chen Ang would return empty-handed. Until Chen Ang returned and explained the truth, they had thought Chen Ang had only obtained a few flowers. It wasn't until they saw the tabletop about to be filled that they realized that before this, they had truly underestimated Chen Ang!

"Chen Ang, did you pick all of these?" Li Lao asked, somewhat unable to believe it.

Looking at his surprised expression, Chen Ang nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we brought all of these back. Because the trip was quite smooth, we got a bit more."

Glancing at the tabletop, Li Lao clicked his tongue and said: "This isn't 'a bit more', this is 'too many'. Even when your Master went last time, he didn't get this many. I didn't expect you to be even more capable than your Master."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang hurriedly waved his hands.

"No, no. In terms of strength, I'm still far behind my Master. Wan Shitong and I just had better luck."

"Luck is also a form of strength; no need to be so humble."

After Li Lao's voice fell, Teacher Xing Tian also nodded with a smile.

"Actually, Li Lao is right. Luck is also a form of strength. Chen Ang, you will surpass me sooner or later."

"Master, I..."

Before Chen Ang could finish his words, Teacher Xing Tian raised his hand to interrupt him.

"No need to say more. This is a matter worth being happy about; there's nothing that can't be mentioned. You are my disciple, and if your achievements can surpass mine, I am happier for you than anyone else, truly."

Watching Teacher Xing Tian's sincere expression, Chen Ang only felt a warmth in his heart.

Just as he wanted to recount the ins and outs of these past few days, Teacher Xing Tian patted him and Wan Shitong on the shoulders respectively.

"Alright, stop talking for now. Both of you have a sallow complexion right now; I suppose you haven't had a good night's sleep during this period, right? Now that you've finally returned, rest well first. It won't be too late to talk about things after you've rested well."

After Teacher Xing Tian's voice fell, Li Lao also said from the side: "Your Master is right. Since you're back, there's no rush to recount things at this moment. Go back and rest well first; we'll talk after you've rested."

Hearing the persuasion of the two, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong nodded together.

Now that they had finally relaxed, they really felt tired. Although they could still force themselves to hold on, the consciousness in their brains had already become somewhat scattered. The most urgent task at hand really wasn't to talk about those things, but to have a good sleep.

Since everyone expressed understanding, they went with the flow.

After chatting a few more simple words, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong stood up to say goodbye.

Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao saw them off all the way, smiling and sending them to the entrance of the courtyard. They didn't turn around until they saw their figures leave, just like that day when they were heading to the depths of the Sin Prison, silently guarding them from behind.

Not long after Chen Ang and Wan Shitong left, An Xinyi returned with a panicked expression.

Seeing that Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao were both there, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I don't know why, but the surroundings are filled with Demon race people."

Hearing his words, the smiles on the faces of Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao instantly disappeared.

"Is this true?" Li Lao asked.

"True. Today I was idle and wanted to walk around more, but I accidentally walked to the edge. When I realized it, I hurriedly returned, but as soon as I turned around, I sensed the aura of the Demon race people surging over. Although I couldn't sense the specific number, judging by the aura, the number won't be small."

After An Xinyi's voice fell, the expressions of Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao also became exceptionally serious.

The two looked at each other, and Teacher Xing Tian said thoughtfully: "These Demon race people must have followed Chen Ang back."

As soon as his voice fell, An Xinyi's eyes widened instantly.

"What did you say? Chen Ang is back?"

"Yes, he just returned not long ago."

After his gaze shifted, An Xinyi asked eagerly again: "They're back, why didn't I see them? Where did they go?"

Seeing his eager appearance, Li Lao reached out and pulled him.

"Stop looking. You've already left. Chen Ang and Wan Shitong's mental state wasn't very good, so we let them go back to rest."

Learning that Chen Ang's state wasn't very good, An Xinyi was somewhat worried.

"Is he... injured?"

"No."

"Then did he not get the Fire-Red Flowers?"

After An Xinyi's question was asked, Teacher Xing Tian directly brought over a box, which was piled full of Fire-Red Flowers.

Seeing those Fire-Red Flowers, An Xinyi's eyes widened instantly.

"These... are these all brought back by Chen Ang?"

"Yes, we didn't expect him to be able to bring back so many either. It seems he truly risked his life this time. These Demon race people must have followed them here."

Learning that these Demon race people followed Chen Ang and Wan Shitong back, An Xinyi gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Ang handled the front, so the matters behind should be handled by us. I'll go and disperse those Demon race people."

Seeing that he was about to turn and leave, Li Lao hurriedly pulled him from behind.

"Don't be impulsive. Chen Ang said they made some discoveries on this journey, which should be aimed at the Demon race people. It's better to wait until he wakes up before doing anything."

"Wait for him to wake up? Now these Demon race people are guarding outside. Aren't you afraid they'll play dirty again and strike suddenly when we're unprepared?"

After he finished saying this, Teacher Xing Tian's gaze became a bit more sinister.

"Rest assured, with me here, they won't dare to act rashly. If they dare to play dirty, I definitely won't let them have it easy!"

After Teacher Xing Tian finished speaking, Li Lao also said from the side: "We are prepared this time. Whether they are in the open or in the dark, we have ways to deal with them. However, Chen Ang said there was a breakthrough this time, so we should still ask for his opinion. Now that they have already fallen asleep, they will probably wake up early tomorrow morning. We'll guard for one night tonight, and it won't be too late to talk about everything tomorrow."

Understanding what the two meant, An Xinyi had no choice but to nod and agree.

Seeing that he was slightly reluctant, Li Lao said from the side: "Now that your body is better, it's not suitable for you to fight them head-on. You should rest; just leave everything to us."

Hearing Li Lao's words, An Xinyi subconsciously wanted to refute, but was pressed down by one of his hands.

"I know you are eager for revenge, but this matter cannot be rushed. You still need to be a bit calmer."

For an entire night, the Demon race people kept guarding outside, eyeing them like tigers.

Teacher Xing Tian and the others didn't sleep all night, just confronting them like this.

When the sky was about to brighten, Li Lao returned from the outside covered in dew.

Seeing that he had returned, Teacher Xing Tian and An Xinyi immediately went up to meet him.

"Li Lao, how is it? Have they taken any action?" An Xinyi asked anxiously.

"No, they are just guarding there, eyeing us like tigers, but they haven't taken any action."

When saying this, Li Lao frowned tightly, clearly also unable to figure out what was going on.

Hearing his answer, Teacher Xing Tian's expression also became a bit more serious, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"Something is wrong, but I can't say exactly what is wrong."
