Proven, Su Yang's speculation was correct.

Before he planned to enter the Edge of the World Dungeon, Su Yang had already started planning. He wanted to create an illusion that he had been in the dungeon for at least two days. Therefore, a day in advance, the third young master instructed the kitchen to send an extra meal to the dungeon.

And this step was indeed done right by Su Yang. When Ge Kaiyang started investigating, he discovered that the kitchen had been sending an extra meal to the dungeon two days in advance, leading him to suspect that Su Yang had been sent to the dungeon two days ago.

And for those two days, the person sending meals to the dungeon had always been the third young master. So naturally, Ge Kaiyang had to find the third young master to inquire about the true situation in the dungeon.

The fear the third young master felt upon meeting Ge Kaiyang was genuine and not feigned. Because Su Yang had told him that meeting Ge Kaiyang would be dangerous and might cost him his life, letting the third young master choose whether to go or not.

Though fearful, the third young master ultimately chose to meet Ge Kaiyang to repay Su Yang for saving his parents and family.

Surviving the meeting left the third young master feeling as if he'd narrowly escaped death.

With events reaching this point, the third young master's mission was complete. Su Yang placed him inside the World Melting Furnace so his family could temporarily reside there, disconnected from the outside world!

Su Yang arranged the third young master's family, then went into the cave where Ye Wantong and Black Widow were training.

Qi'er was also there, though she didn't train much. Despite being the dean's last disciple, her daily life was quite simple, without any fruit of cultivation.

Instead, the little sparrow by Qi'er's side somehow conspired with the little bear by Ye Wantong's side, running around and causing mayhem. These two little creatures, along with the little turtle and chick on Su Yang, were almost like the Four Great Evildoers, causing chaos wherever they went.

Su Yang entered to find Qi'er holding one of the little sparrow's claws, chastising it.

The little sparrow drooped its head as if knowing it was in the wrong, yet its eyes spun mischievously, clearly brewing more mischief.

The little bear, meanwhile, sat adorably not far away, unaffected, drooling while watching Qi'er scold the little sparrow.

"Qi'er!" Su Yang called.

"Brother Su!" Qi'er exclaimed joyfully, running over to hug Su Yang's arm. "Brother Su, you're back!"

Su Yang gently stroked Qi'er's head, pointing at the little sparrow and asking curiously, "What's up now?"

"Don't even mention it!" Qi'er said, disgruntled. "These two went to the Single-horned Wolf pack's territory last night and caused chaos. A bunch of Single-horned Wolves chased them down. Luckily, Sister Su arrived in time, or they'd have become someone's snack!"

Su Yang was helpless. Such antics were typical of the chick and turtle; truly worthy of being called the Four Great Evildoers.

"Let me tell you, with incidents like these, criticism isn't effective!" Su Yang said. "They need a beating. Kids who aren't disciplined won't learn. A spanking will do!"

"Really?" Qi'er looked skeptically at Su Yang, then at the little sparrow, wondering where to start with such a tiny thing.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." The little sparrow panicked, squawking at Su Yang.

"What's with all the noise? It's because you deserve a spanking!" Su Yang said loudly.

The little sparrow screeched louder, hopping around on Qi'er's arm.

Su Yang tired of its antics, simply summoned the chick and turtle to deal with the little sparrow.

Upon seeing Qi'er, the chick immediately flew over, snuggling against her. Su Yang couldn't comprehend why winged creatures were so fond of Qi'er.

Since first seeing Qi'er, the chick wouldn't leave her side. Su Yang had to drag it away. Every time it met Qi'er thereafter, it inevitably ran to her, leaving Su Yang quite helpless.

This time was no exception, but the little sparrow was displeased—the chick was entirely vying for affection.

Already upset by Su Yang earlier, the little sparrow was infuriated by the chick vying for affection and promptly chirped at it.

The chick, not one to back down, promptly responded with its own chirps. The two hopped around, arguing vigorously. Soon, it escalated into a fight, as both were quite spirited, making it hard to determine a winner.

The turtle and little bear stood watching, occasionally making sounds, as if cheering them on, showing a reckless disregard for the consequences, leaving Su Yang speechless.

Su Yang rubbed his forehead, accustomed to these antics, deciding to ignore them. The two had fought before, and it was merely trivial skirmishes—best left to their own devices.

Entering the inner chamber, Su Yang first saw Ye Wantong.

In all white, Ye Wantong's training had been swift during this period. With the Earth Bear by her side, Ye Wantong's combat power was now formidable.

Seeing Su Yang, Ye Wantong was delighted. After all, Su Yang had been away for two or three days, amounting to twenty or thirty days in here.

"You're back!" Ye Wantong approached, her cheeks slightly red, embracing Su Yang's arm like a demure wife.

Su Yang smiled and nodded, noting Ye Wantong's increasingly cool demeanor and sharper Sword Qi—clearly, she'd made substantial progress.

After a few words with Ye Wantong, Su Yang entered the innermost room, Black Widow's training area.

Three mighty Single-horned Wolves guarded the room's entrance—Black Widow's pets, loyal to her.

These wolves had grown up with Black Widow, consuming various Spiritual Medicines, becoming far stronger than their wild counterparts.

Normally, these wolves guarded the entrance, barring entry. Even upon Su Yang's arrival, they didn't display hostility but refused to let him pass, only loyal to Black Widow. Without her command, no one could enter.

Su Yang glanced at the inner chamber, sensing the energy flow, aware that Black Widow was training. Hence, not disturbing her, he sat at the entrance waiting; once Black Widow finished her training, she would naturally know he was there.
