Chapter 151: Going Home (Second Update!)
I request that brothers and sisters who still have monthly tickets support Wushan, the end of the low martial boundary is approaching, a truly wonderful cultivation realm will soon unfold! Please believe me, our Proud Sky will be even more magnificent!)
Back at the martial arts arena, the awards ceremony was just about to end. After Chen Huan finally stepped onto the stage and received the huge reward for ranking first on the newcomer list, Shu Ya took little Xuan Ying and followed Chen Huan and the others as they left the imperial palace.
Chen Hao had already known the identity of the little girl Xuan Ying, and after learning her purpose, he readily agreed. He carved the good quality purple crystal jade into a statue of Emperor Xuan Zang Feng, and also left a few small pieces. He also very kindly carved one of them into a jade pendant that looked similar to Chen Yan's, for the little girl. The rest were taken by him as part of his reward, and put into his pocket.
……
Whoosh!
Five days later.
A young man's figure flew swiftly through the void, appearing above a massive city on the outskirts of the Town Yuan Kingdom.
Gazing at the city that had undergone a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change, the young man, despite having already known about it, still revealed a hint of surprise on his face.
The young man's white clothes were like snow, his long hair flying in the wind. His handsome and extraordinary face was slightly soft but with clear-cut features, naturally revealing a cold aura, his black and deep eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining with brilliant light.
This young man is none other than Chen Huan, who has just returned from the Xuanwu Empire.
In just about three months' time, the token will be activated, and he will enter another level of time. When he can come back again is really an unknown number.
Three years without returning, Chen Huan returned to the Royal Newcomer Hall and learned that He Lian Wuzi, Mo Yu Yi, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Jiyuan, Xiao Jiming, and Xiao Jihan had all entered their respective level ruins for training. At this time, Chen Huan directly headed back to Yunzhou County.
Staring at the vast city below, familiar figures appeared in his mind, causing Chen Huan's usual calm demeanor to stir up waves of excitement.
……
"Huh?"
The headquarters has been moved to the deepest part of Xiao's inner courtyard in Yunzhou County, a delicate and elegant small courtyard. A middle-aged man wearing ordinary clothes was watering flowers personally, when he suddenly frowned slightly, looked up at the void, and a faint smile appeared on his ordinary face. He then continued to immerse himself in watering as if nothing had been seen. However, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner excitement.
……
Chen Hao's divine consciousness slowly swept over the Xiao family, and what made Chen Hao quite relieved was that the entire Xiao family actually contained a powerful array of protection, making the internal spiritual energy of the Xiao family several times thicker than the outside world.
……
"Hi! Hi! Hi!"
Xiao family martial arts arena, the sound of fists and feet filled the air, with over a thousand young men and women, each full of energy, under the leadership of a majestic middle-aged man and several instructors, performing uniform movements. These were obviously disciples who had just entered the door for more than half a year, but at this moment, their aura was much stronger than that of the Xiangzi generation disciples three years ago, by an unknown level.
Among them, the youngest boy and girl had an aura that clearly surpassed all the new disciples. They were already on the verge of breaking through to the rank of Martial Artist.
Watching the familiar scene, Chen Huan restrained his breath and appeared quietly at the edge of the martial arts arena.
The middle-aged man standing on the high platform and looking down was none other than Headmaster Xiao Guan.
When Xiao Guan's gaze fell on the young men and women beside Chen Huan, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared in surprise. At this moment, he was already a 9th-grade Martial Emperor and had long been promoted to an inner door elder, but still held the position of head teacher of the Xiao family's outer door disciples. What surprised him was that someone could quietly approach the martial arts arena!
How can it not be shocking?
When he saw the young man who didn't have any aura emanating from him, Xiao Guan's shocked and slightly tense mood suddenly turned into a frown, which then transformed into intense excitement.
"Chen Hao... are you Chen Hao?"
"Disciple Chen Hao has seen General Xiao's superior!" Chen Hao smiled slightly and said to a shocked Xiao Guan, with his fists clasped together.
"Haha... Alright!" Xiao Guan was shocked at the same time, and hastily bowed to Chen Huan, then immediately puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "Xiao Lao, Master of the House, Chief Guest Officer Chen Huan has returned, Chen Huan has returned!"
Rumble!
Xiao Guan's excited voice was like a thunderclap, echoing far and wide in the Xiao family, calling out several times before finally stopping. Suddenly, he came to Chen Huan's side with excitement.
"Brother..."
"Brother..."
Xiao Nan and Xiao Yan suddenly shouted and rushed towards Chen Hao, who had not been seen for three years. As they approached Chen Hao's side, Xiao Yan's body flashed and she jumped high into the air, directly pouncing on Chen Hao.
Chen Hao opened his arms and looked at his increasingly lovely and beautiful sister, with a look of relief and faint excitement on his face.
Zheng was excited and thrilled, but he stared at Xiao Yan who had thrown herself into Chen Hao's arms, restrained himself, his eyes burning with intensity, and tightly grasped Chen Hao's outstretched hand.
"Brother..." Xiaonan's voice trembled as she called out.
"Brother......" Buried in Chen Huan's arms, Xiao Yan hugged him tightly and cried out with a sob.
……
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Whoosh!
After the thunderous voice of Xiao Guan, the entire Xiao family had countless figures rushing out from the inner courtyard rooms in an instant. One figure even flew through the air at a stunning speed and appeared before Chen Huan in no time.
It's Xiao Lao!
"Disciple Chen Hao, pay respects to Elder Xiao!" Chen Hao hastily put down Little Yan, bowed his body and said. It was the etiquette of a junior towards a close elder relative.
"Good... good!" Xiao Lao's expression had barely changed, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Huan in a daze. With an excited look, he helped Chen Huan up and said: "Top-grade Martial Emperor... Good, good..."
Immediately, the master of the Xiao family, Xiao Ding, and the elders of the Xiao family rushed over one after another. Chen Huan's emotions surged as he saw familiar figures appearing one by one, each with a shocking improvement in their cultivation. The aura of Old Man Xiao was clearly that of someone who had entered the Wu Zong realm. Xiao Ding had also reached the upper ranks of the Wu Emperor realm. Chen Huan knew that all this change was brought about after having sufficient elixir supplies. Of course, for Old Man Xiao, it was more because he had obtained the complete Longevity Secret.
As the crowd greeted Chen Huan with courtesy, he felt his status in their eyes. Except for Xiao Lao, even Xiao Ding's gaze towards him was filled with reverence.
Just then, a familiar and elegant figure of Chen Huan appeared, swiftly flying towards him. When her eyes locked onto Chen Huan, her body suddenly froze, staring blankly at the young man who was smiling back at her.
There is no stunning beauty, but on the delicate and gentle face, a faint blush and an irrepressible excitement are flashing.
"Brother..." Xiao Mei wanted to call out to her younger brother, but the words got stuck on the tip of her tongue. Younger brother, former younger brother, was now the true pillar of the Xiao family, with an extremely high status in the entire Town Yuan Kingdom. Could she still call him that?
"Mei jie..." Chen Hao smiled and called out loud.
……
Chen Hao's return was destined to be sensational. After exchanging pleasantries with the crowd, Chen Hao hugged Xiao Yan, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and pulled his younger brother along as they walked towards their parents' small courtyard.
Thinking of his mother, who used to be pale and thin, working hard for the family, Chen Hao felt a sharp pain in his heart. Now, he finally relied on his own strength to let his mother get rid of that unbearable life.
Thinking of his mysterious father brings Chen Huan more puzzlement and curiosity.
"Brother... what realm are you at now?" Xiaonan asked, looking up at his idolized brother with a fiery gaze and an air of enthusiasm.
"Eight ranks of Wu Emperor. Later you will catch up with your brother, work hard!" Chen Hao patted Xiang Nan's head and said with a hint of doting.
"That's not important. As long as I can keep up with my brother's pace, that's all that matters! Brother, Mei sister often told me and my little sister that if we want to see you, we have to work hard to cultivate ourselves, otherwise we will become people from two different worlds... Brother, is it true?"
"No, brother will come back often." Chen Hao said slightly stunned.
"It's been three years and you're only back once, brother. Xiao Yan hates you..." Little Yan said with a pout in Chen Haowei's arms.
"Don't talk nonsense. Brother is for cultivation. A good man's ambition is in all directions. How can you come back to see me every day... However, brother, if you have time, still... come back a few more times. Mother misses you every day... Sister too..."
What astonished Chen Huan was that only a ten-year-old girl, Xiao Nan, spoke with such a manly tone. Her voice and expression were surprisingly similar to her father's when he had attended the Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference years ago.
"You're still not..." Xiaoyan said discontentedly to Xiaoxuan.
"Brother..."
"Huh?" Just then, Xiaonan suddenly furrowed her brow as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, leaving Chenhao slightly stunned.
"Father... he's not an ordinary person..." Xiaonan finally said in a low voice.
"How did you know?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.
"Father didn't let me and Xiaoyan cultivate the internal strength of the Xiao family. He separately taught us a set... Father said, let's work hard to cultivate, in the future we'll come to your side... Brother, you say father is clearly an ordinary person, how can he have a cultivation method? And... when brother you left Yunzhou, he had us start cultivating already, otherwise my sister and I wouldn't be able to advance to warrior so quickly now."
"Have you asked your father?" Chen Hao said seriously. He knew that his younger brother could no longer be looked at with the eyes of a child, and was even more mature than he had been before his soul fusion.
"I asked him, but Father didn't say anything. He just said that one day we will know... Brother, did you also notice?"
"Hmm. Don't ask anymore. Father must have had his reasons..." Chen Hao said.
"Uh-huh."
As they spoke, Chen Haoyuan saw from afar a small independent courtyard and at the entrance of the courtyard, his mother looking up and waiting.
Her mother's appearance has changed a lot. Her complexion is rosy and she looks ten years younger than before.
"Gift from Heaven..."
A familiar voice, with a hint of excitement and trembling, Mother ran towards Chen Huan.
Chen Hao hastily put down Xiao Yan, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of his mother, kneeling on the ground: "Mother!"
