Insufficient balance

  Tang Hao no longer diverted his attention to manage external affairs, handing over the command to Ning Yan beside him. Ning Yan was also straightforward, absorbing the spiritual energy around Tang Hao while paying attention to the outside situation.

  "Ning Yan sister, a helicopter is coming." Tang Wan'er transmitted her voice to Ning Yan through the transmission symbol.

  "Don't make any rash moves, keep a close eye on their actions, and don't reveal our formation," Ning Yan said.

  "I understand." Tang Wan'er was the only one among the five girls who knew about Ning Yan and Tang Huan's relationship, so she still showed some respect to Ning Yan.

  "Wan Er, you're the most senior here, do you know who this woman is? She looks quite arrogant." Jenny couldn't help but ask.

  Wan'er showed a hint of helplessness, "I don't know the specifics either, but I do know that Master was with her before he started cultivating, and they seemed to be quite close, so don't provoke her."

  "Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to the movement outside." Ning Yan naturally also heard their conversation, but she didn't get angry either.

  The helicopter stopped at the shore and didn't dare to get closer. Tang Wan'er vaguely saw the American military flag emblem on the helicopter.

  A group of people came down from the helicopter, among whom a blonde-haired and blue-eyed person caught Jenny's attention. Jenny couldn't help but exclaim, "Katie!"

  Huang Yi asked: "Do you know her?" Huang Yi was the first person to actively merge with Tang Huan, and Tang Huan also valued her more. The other girls also defaulted to treating her as their leader.

  Jenny smiled slightly, "Not just acquaintances, old friends. She used to be the first candidate for Saint Girl, but later betrayed the Vatican and escaped to the United States." Kirtis was in the early stages of her cultivation, with golden hair that was different from Jenny's straight hair, having wavy curls instead, wearing a suit of silver knight armor that perfectly accentuated her figure.

  Huang Yi's smile seemed thoughtful, "I'm afraid her betrayal isn't that simple, it must have something to do with your father wanting you to be the Holy Maiden."

  Jenny didn't hide it either, and reluctantly said: "Yes."

  Kitty and the others got off the helicopter, but they didn't dare to make any sudden movements. Looking at the glow in the sky, this spiritual instrument seemed not yet fully formed, so they weren't in a hurry either. They set up a shed on the shore and decided to wait there.

  Tang Hao's foundation building is also proceeding steadily, with a small portion of his spiritual energy having turned into liquid form, mixed with many five-colored small spirit crystals. However, the amount stored in Tang Hao's dantian is six times that of an ordinary person, and compared to other gaseous spiritual energies, these are just the tip of the iceberg.

  A silver warship stopped hundreds of meters away from the small island, but the five girls could vaguely see the chrysanthemum flag on the warship. Then a helicopter flew from the warship to the island. This time, the people who came down had a very low overall level of cultivation, and there was only one foundation-building cultivator, but it was a young boy, looking like eleven or twelve years old.

  Tang Wan'er's eyes moistened and she muttered: "Zheng Xiong, it's actually you!"

  "Who is he?"

  Tang Wan'er wiped away her tears and said: "My former brother, a variant physique, Tian-class spiritual root, was known as the reincarnation of the Sun God."

  Tang Wan'er's mind recalled a scene from two years ago, of course, the other four girls could also sense it:

  "Sister, will you teach me how to practice ninjutsu?" A nine-year-old kid holding an ice pop ran to Ryoko's side who was reading a book and asked with a spoiled tone.

  Ryouko gently patted the child's head and said softly, "Shou, your tenth birthday is tomorrow. You still can't practice ninjutsu yet."

  Zheng Xiong muttered to himself, "Tomorrow, you must teach me. I've heard people say that I'm the reincarnation of the Sun God, and that I'll become the most powerful person in the world. Is this true?"

  Liangzi smiled and said, "If you only know how to throw a tantrum like this, then you can't become the most powerful person in the world."

  "Wait until I become the most powerful person in the world, and then I'll make sure that Father and Sister never leave me again, they'll stay with me forever."

  Ryoko scratched Tadashi's nose and teased: "Is that all your ambition?"

  "Ryoko, come out for a moment!" Ryoko's father appeared outside her room.

  "The organization is sending us to China to steal the Gong Fa and Ling Shi. Since it's a secret mission, we'll be gone for a long time and can't contact home." said Liangzi's father.

  "But then who will take care of Masao?" Masao's mother had died when he was born.

  The father sighed and said: "It was arranged by the organization to have someone come and take care of it."

  "But shouldn't we tell Masao first?" Ryoko pleaded.

  "Father said sternly: 'This is a secret operation, you know what punishment you will receive if you continue like this? Let him have a good sleep, we have an early flight tomorrow.'"

  Ryoko returned to her room with a heavy heart, and Masao ran up to her like a shadow, saying: "Sister, why are you suddenly unhappy? Who bullied you? When I grow up, I'll take revenge for you."

  Ryouko patted Shou's head, made a paper kite and gave it to him, saying: "From now on you have to be strong, got it?"

  Masao happily took over the paper kite and shouted: "Okay, it's late, I'm going to sleep, sister, I'm afraid, can you watch me sleep?"

  Ryoko felt a tinge of sadness in her heart, nodded slightly, and stayed by Masao's side, watching him fall into a deep sleep.

  Ryoko took down Masao's kite and placed it on the desk beside him, then covered him with a blanket.

  "Sister, don't ignore me, don't go!" Ryouko was startled to find that it was Masao having a nightmare. She turned off the light and began packing things up.

  The next morning, Masao got up especially early, holding a kite and excitedly ran to Ryouko's room, shouting: "Sister, I'm ten years old now, can you teach me ninjutsu?"

  However, there was no one in the room, and even Ryougi's personal belongings were nowhere to be found.

  "Sister, Father, where have you gone?" Masao started searching around the house but didn't see a single person.

  "Sister, Father, aren't you going with Takeo?" Takeo ran outside to look for them, but saw Ryoko packing up her things and preparing to leave.

  "Masao, why are you up so early? Ryouko, start the car, let's hurry and go." said Ryouko's father.

  Liangzi gritted her teeth, held back tears, and started the car.

  "Sister, don't go! Father, don't leave Masao behind." Masao rode the small tricycle to chase after the car, but how could this tricycle be a match for the car.

  "Don't leave Masao alone!" Masao abandoned his tricycle and started running after the car, but the gap between them grew even wider.

  But Masao didn't give up and kept chasing after it until he tripped over a rock, falling heavily to the ground, and the kite was also broken.

  "Sister, Father, don't ignore me!" Masao cried out as he lay on the ground.

  Liangzi's face was already covered in tears, ready to step on the brakes. Her father also had old tears streaming down his face and shouted: "If you want to die, then brake!"

  Ryouko was like a madwoman, and instead stepped on the gas pedal, heading towards the airport.

  Huang Yi and Wan Er's minds were connected, so she naturally knew everything. She thought to herself: "I hope he doesn't go through the Green Wood Array."

  Wan'er wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth: "Can I go out for a bit? I'll make him leave."

  Ning Yan didn't know what was happening, but she wasn't unfamiliar with the gods' servants. Each of them had something they couldn't bear to part with. She spoke softly: "Wait a bit, the timing isn't right yet. Just in case, I mean just in case, would you take action?"

  Wan'er nodded and looked at Zhengyong who had grown a head taller, no longer the snotty kid he used to be, his expression also more resolute.

  "Have you grown up now? My brother." Yan'er thought to herself.
