Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3185: Wait Until the Family Head Returns

"Understood, understood," the little baby chirped back, scampering towards Qian Yizheng and the others.

"Eldest brother, are you waiting for Nuonuo?" He knew his elder brother wouldn't dream of ascending the mountain without him. After all, his eldest brother was aware of his fondness for lively gatherings and thrilling escapades. How could they possibly venture to the Saintess Sect in search of treasures and face dangers without his presence?

"Let's make haste; those major clans could launch a surprise assault at any moment," he urged.

"Let's go," Qian Yizheng responded, a hint of helplessness in his voice. He extended his hand, grasping the little one's, and began leading him up the mountain.

"Can you manage the climb? Shall I carry you?" he inquired, his concern evident as they walked. While he wasn't worried about the young cultivator tiring out, the baby's short legs were admittedly a bit slow.

"I'll carry him," Min Yi declared. Before the little baby could utter a word, he was scooped up into a pair of arms and lifted.

"I can walk myself," the little one mumbled softly, seeing Min Yi had hoisted him up. Yet, he didn't press the issue further, understanding his diminutive legs were no match for the steep ascent.

...

Meanwhile, Clan Elders from several nearby major clans were receiving reports from their dispatched guards.

"A massive-toothed rhinoceros beast? How could such a demonic beast possibly find its way to the Saintess Sect?" the Clan Elder exclaimed, bewildered. Such a formidable creature typically resided in dense jungles within the Seasonal Moon Plane. Its presence at the Saintess Sect was perplexing.

"What could the Saintess Sect possibly possess that would attract a massive-toothed rhinoceros beast?" he mused. The sudden departure of the Saintess Sect implied that all valuable treasures should have been removed. Why would anything remain for others to discover?

Furthermore, the massive-toothed rhinoceros beast showed no interest in ordinary treasures, its sole focus being premium medicinal herbs. The Medicine Phoenix Forest, for instance, was known to harbor many such beasts precisely because of its abundant and superior quality herbs compared to other regions.

"Are you absolutely certain it was a massive-toothed rhinoceros beast?" he pressed for confirmation.

"Reporting to the Great Clan Elder, I am unequivocally certain it was a massive-toothed rhinoceros beast. Members from other major clans also witnessed it," the clan guard reiterated, his affirmation unwavering. After all, their panicked retreat was solely due to the beast's presence.

Upon hearing this, the Great Clan Elder fell silent for a moment, pacing his chamber. He was hesitant to dispatch his own men to the Saintess Sect.

"Here is your directive: Return. As long as no other major clans venture towards the Saintess Sect, you are forbidden from going or even suggesting such a course of action. It would be best to await the Family Head's return to make the final decision," he decreed after a thoughtful pause.

At present, numerous major clans were already coveting the Saintess Sect's assets. A hasty expedition on their part would inevitably lead to conflict.

The Saintess Sect's alleged abduction of children and the taking of numerous male cultivators had already stirred considerable unrest. If the major clans were to escalate their rivalries, Yin City risked descending into complete chaos.

Minimizing complications was paramount; therefore, prudence dictated waiting for the Family Head's return to guide their next steps.

"The massive-toothed rhinoceros beast has an exclusive appetite for herbs; it covets nothing else. Moreover, even if herbs were present, our men would be no match for the beast in securing them."

By the time the clan guard had returned with his report, the massive-toothed rhinoceros beast had likely already consumed any available herbs. The idea of slaying the beast to retrieve them seemed futile, as even if successful, the herbs would likely be rendered useless.
