No longer focusing on Gugu, who is currently stabilizing its realm after ascending to Second Tier, Li Ji'an prioritizes picking Xiaoqiao up.
When he first met Granny You, her bone age was already over a hundred. Plus, she had once failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, damaging her foundation, and got injured during the Liu Family's internal conflict. She was running low on lifespan, and now, having been away for four years, the chances of her return look grim, almost ninety percent likely she won't come back.
He hasn't told Xiaoqiao about this situation, but Xiaoqiao has already sensed something over the past few years.
Strictly speaking, Xiaoqiao really only has him as a relative.
"This Cultivation Realm is truly full of wonders, vividly colorful..." Looking at the unconscious girl in his arms and recalling the recent unique might of the earth, Li Ji'an becomes even more expectant of her abilities.
