Luo Luo, Lin Chi, and the others naturally took advantage of the chaos to seize Patriarch Luo.
They safely exited the small world.
However, they were unaware that amidst the confusion, someone had already snuck out before them.
This person was Luo Qingyu, whom Chu Tian had failed to catch.
Outside the small world, atop a mountain peak, the four members of the Ma family had not left.
Chu Tian had spoken to them earlier, hoping they would help escort Patriarch Luo.
Also, Chu Tian wanted to visit the Ma family.
And the three Lin siblings were also heading there, as their maternal grandfather and master, Huang Yaoshi, was at the Ma family.
Chu Tian wondered what the old man was thinking.
He had gone to the Ma family and hadn't even contacted Lin Yu and the others.
He had been gone for over a year.
These three children had almost starved to death.
Moreover, Chu Tian felt the Ma family members were decent people.
And their small world had fewer inhabitants.
This meant it was quiet, without any troublesome matters.
He wanted to take a look and then discuss with the old madam about staying there temporarily.
Of course, the more important reason was to bring Zhao Lei and the others over.
He had not forgotten what Qiu Shaotian had told him.
The Disagreement Faction remained his biggest threat.
Furthermore, Qiu Shaotian's final piece of advice: "Don't think that all members of the Original Faction are upright and honorable."
This sentence made Chu Tian vigilant.
If the so-called Original Faction, in order to win him over, or for some other purpose.
They would inevitably resort to underhanded tactics, or create a false impression, making him believe that the Disagreement Faction was responsible.
To avoid such a situation, he had already mentioned it to Ma Deju.
Ma Deju, who usually took on everything, had not given Chu Tian a clear answer this time.
At this moment, Ma Deju was standing deep within the sea of clouds, outside the entrance to the Luo family's small world.
He was shivering uncontrollably and sneezing.
"Damn it... what's going on?"
"Auntie, touch me. See if I have a fever?"
Ma Lingling was also puzzled, wondering why he had fallen ill.
However, after touching him, she rolled her eyes and said, "You've probably done something bad and are being cursed at."
The young man's physical condition was normal; he had no ailments.
As they were speaking, a figure rushed out from the doorway.
He bumped into Ma Deju, causing him to stumble.
"Holy crap... it's you!"
"Don't run!"
This person was Luo Qingyu. Ma Deju immediately took off in pursuit.
"Juzi, don't chase. With your short legs, you won't catch him!"
Old Madam Ma said indifferently.
Just then, Luo Luo and the Lin siblings also emerged.
They were also carrying a mobile bed, upon which lay the current patriarch of the Luo family, Luo Yi Yi's father, Luo Qinghao.
Ma Deju quickly went to help.
Then, a figure shot out, moving like lightning.
"Run quickly!" he said as he dodged the mobile bed being pushed by the four.
He slung it over his shoulder and leaped off the ten-thousand-foot cliff.
The others were completely taken by surprise.
"It's Brother Tian!"
Ma Deju's eyes were sharp.
"But... what is Brother Tian doing? Is he committing suicide with his future father-in-law?"
As he spoke, Luo Luo had already run to the edge of the cliff.
She saw a cute, clumsy phantom floating behind Chu Tian.
It flapped its adorable little wings, carrying Chu Tian's body slowly downwards.
Of course, the mobile bed on his shoulder was also there.
Luo Qinghao was still lying on it.
"Phew..." Luo Luo let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't let them escape!" Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the small world.
They charged towards Luo Luo and the others, shouting and howling.
"Lin..."
Ma Deju's five-pointed star appeared.
He uttered a single incantation.
A roar...
With a flash of golden light, a golden dragon soul swept its tail.
The Luo family members who were chasing were sent flying in all directions.
"Your Ma family grandfather is here. Stop your nonsense!"
Ma Deju stood impositorially, his stance firm.
In that moment, he looked exceptionally imposing.
"Ma family? Grandfather? Holy hell... get him!"
The Luo family members were stunned, and then a barrage of flying sand and stones rained down.
Ma Deju, who was basking in self-satisfaction, was caught off guard by this sudden outburst of anger.
What was going on? They wouldn't even let him pretend to be cool?
He had no idea that the Luo family members absolutely detested the word "grandfather."
Especially the female disciples of the Luo family.
Among the people at the entrance, not a single female disciple was spared; they had all been punched, at least once, in the chest by this self-proclaimed "grandfather" Chu Tian.
If they were lucky, they received a punch on each side, but if they were unlucky, they were hit on the same side multiple times.
At this moment, each of them sported asymmetrical "peaks" and were hurling hidden weapons at Ma Deju.
Someone even threw a breast pad, which landed directly on Ma Deju's face.
"How dare you! I am Ma Deju... you dare to hit your Ma family grandfather!"
"You, you, you... grandfather remembers you."
"And you, that little girl, how did you grow like that? The left side is bigger than the right..."
The more he shouted, the more fiercely they attacked.
Finally, he couldn't understand it. While the name Ma Deju wasn't particularly renowned,
mentioning the Ma family name among his peers usually carried some weight.
What was going on today? They seemed even more furious, pounding him even harder.
Ma Deju was beaten, jumping and scrambling.
Meanwhile, everyone else had already evacuated the area.
The tragic Ma Deju, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, summoned his dragon soul and leaped off the cliff, treading upon it.
His dragon soul was vastly different from Old Madam Ma's.
It felt like it couldn't bear his weight, wobbling precariously as it descended at an extremely fast speed.
"Auntie... save me!"
Below him was Ma Lingling.
As his own nephew, she had to save him.
With a wave of her hand, she pulled him over.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian had already reached the ground.
And he had glided for an unknown distance.
However, outside, the mobile phone signal had been restored.
Three days later, everyone finally emerged from the dense mountain forest.
They found a nearby town and got a car.
They first sent Luo Qinghao back to the capital.
Luo Luo temporarily stayed in the capital to accompany her father and mother.
Chu Tian, however, transferred to Shengjing as soon as Luo Luo arrived near the capital.
He had a strong premonition that Zhao Lei and the others might be in trouble.
Although he didn't know the source of this premonition.
The closer he got to Shengjing, the stronger this premonition became.
Even as he was about to reach the gym, he felt a suffocating sensation, as if his throat was being constricted.
However, when he pushed open the door and saw Qi Xi and Heng Dao sitting at the bar, his heart instantly relaxed.
That feeling also vanished instantly.
"Xiao Tian..."
"Brother Tian..."
It was daytime, and Zhao Lei and the others were all helping at the gym.
With Qi Xi's management, the gym's profitability had become quite good.
It was already well-known in the vicinity for its fitness services.
More importantly, they had three king-level soldiers as boxing coaches.
This alone attracted many people.
The闷s of the past few days disappeared the moment he saw Zhao Lei and the others.
However, Chu Tian was unaware that outside his spiritual sense range.
Within a cloud in the sky, a person and a one-eyed dragon.
The moment he opened the gym door, they turned and fled.
