Fang Zhou released all seven calabash brothers for the first time. He wasn't worried about them running off, surrounded as they were by Heavenly Sword Sect territory. Running out would be seeking death, especially with Ling Xiaoyue around.
Previously, Fang Zhou let the calabash brothers out one by one, so they were not unfamiliar with the outside environment and were happy to come out together.
But as soon as they saw Ling Xiaoyue, they immediately turned into seven quails, frightened.
If the Tree Demon were still around, they might have dared to snarl at Ling Xiaoyue. Now, facing Ling Xiaoyue alone, they cowered together.
This behavior was a bit like a dog relying on someone's power, or should it be called "calabash brothers relying on grandpa's power"?
Fang Zhou found it quite annoying. He had to swear oaths and write contracts to barely subdue the calabash brothers, while Ling Xiaoyue just stood there and they obeyed her.
