"That jade slip contained a trace of Min'er and Li Yan's blood. We may be able to admit our mistake in Li Yan's case, but how could our own daughter's blood be fake? Are you overthinking this?"
"Perhaps they were captured?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. If someone catches you delivering the letter and you don't ask for any treasure, what's the purpose of delivering the letter? Is it to comfort us?"
Wei Chongran couldn't help but gently rub his eyebrows with two fingers.
He had said these things countless times, but Zhao Zhi seemed to have forgotten that he had asked these questions repeatedly.
"I just went to 'Return Home' yesterday. Five years ago, I asked them to go to Qingqing Continent to confirm the location where Min'er and the others sent the message. I think there will be a reply soon.
I decided to wait a year at most, and whether I received any news or not, I would go there by then.”
Five years ago, Wei Chongran failed to find out the location where Zhao Min and Li Yan sent the message, so he immediately spent a huge amount of spirit stones to ask the other party to find out the source of the message and pass it back to him as soon as possible.
But even so, the other party agreed that it would take about five years at the earliest to deliver the message back.
The reason is simple. The Desolate Moon Continent is too remote, and the powerful warriors who "Guiqulaixie" do not travel here frequently.
Wei Chongran originally planned to ask his master Da Cen to help take time out to take care of the Wei family, while he himself looked for an opportunity to go to Qingqing Continent.
Unfortunately, Da Cen had already gone out to look for an ascension node, and there has been no news of him for many years.
However, although the ancestor of the Wei family has not yet come out of seclusion, the remnants of the demon clan have been hunted down and basically dare not show up, so after weighing the pros and cons, Wei Chongran has decided to cross the border by himself.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhi's face showed worry again.
"How confident are you that you can tear through the void and cross the turbulent space?"
She began to worry about her husband again, and hated herself in her heart why her cultivation could not break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, she could accompany her husband across thousands of mountains and rivers and take care of each other along the way.
Wei Chongran held Zhao Zhi's soft finger with one hand and patted it gently with the other.
At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Wei Chongran's eyes, and then he looked in one direction, as if his eyes could penetrate the houses and through the thick bamboo forest.
He sensed that there were two auras rushing towards Xiaozhu Peak. There were quite a few cultivators flying around Xiaozhu Peak, most of whom were disciples from other peaks who came to take over tasks.
However, these two auras are extremely strong, of course this is only for the Jindan realm. The most important thing is that the opponent is extremely fast, and he is rushing straight towards the sect at lightning speed.
Wei Chongran first felt a sense of familiarity from these two auras, but they were different from those of Li Wuyi and Wei Chituo who were often around him.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Zhi saw Wei Chongran suddenly look up in one direction. Before she released her spiritual sense, she subconsciously opened her mouth to ask.
The next moment, she saw Wei Chongran suddenly let go of her hand, stood up suddenly, and his whole body began to tremble in an instant.
"Husband..."
"It's Min'er and Li Yan who are back!"
Zhao Zhi was startled by Wei Chongran's action and immediately planned to release his spiritual sense, but what followed was another sentence from Wei Chongran.
As soon as Zhao Zhi heard these words, all her expressions froze on her face. Her sea of consciousness suddenly roared and turbulent. As a false infant monk, she actually felt that the world was spinning...
Looking at the endless bamboo sea, the familiar place was getting closer and closer. Zhao Min held Li Yan's sleeve tightly with one jade hand, and she heard the sound of her own heart beating violently.
Ever since breaking up with Sun Guoshu and the others, Li Yan and Zhao Min flew quickly towards Xiaozhu Peak. For a moment, both of them fell into silence. Li Yan heard Zhao Min's slightly rapid breathing.
The moonlight was like water, and two long rainbows cut through the darkness in the sky, coming hand in hand under the stars...
But just as they were approaching Xiaozhu Peak, the space in front of them suddenly twisted, and two figures suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
The two figures came silently, and even Li Yan's spiritual sense could not detect how the other party appeared.
Under the full moon in the night sky, a plump young man in a dark green robe was holding the hand of a young woman in palace dress. The young woman in palace dress was leaning on the plump young man like a patient.
As soon as the two appeared, two pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Yan and the others.
The plump young man had a gentle smile on his face, while the young woman in palace dress had an aura that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if she couldn't control it at all.
The moment she saw the two people's faces clearly, tears fell from Zhao Min's eyes. She tapped the air with her jade feet and flew towards the opposite side like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Mom, Dad!"
Li Yan did not move, but just concealed his brilliance and quietly floated in the same place, reciting silently in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, can you see me in reincarnation?"
He had once longed for everything before him!
Zhao Zhi suddenly gained strength at this moment and flew out in an instant. The two met in the air in an instant.
"Min'er, you're finally back, where... where have you been..."
She pulled Zhao Min into her arms, and tears blurred her vision in an instant.
"mother!"
Zhao Min's voice was also choked at this moment. She only shouted one word and then leaned on Zhao Zhi's shoulder, her body trembling slightly!
Wei Chongran slowly flew to the side of the mother and daughter, opened his arms and gently hugged them, then released his arms and looked at Li Yan.
His face was still gentle and his voice was upright and sincere.
“I’m glad you’re back!”
"Disciple greets Master, congratulations on Master's Nascent Soul achievement!"
Li Yan hurriedly paid homage in the air.
"Get up, you and Min'er have both reached this level of cultivation, which is unexpectedly good!"
After practicing "Ebb Tide", Li Yan and Zhao Min had been with Li Yan for such a long time that they had already learned some of Li Yan's ways of plotting against people.
Li Yan and Zhao Min both displayed the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core at this time, which was something that even Wei Chongran did not show, especially Li Yan's true realm.
But he still sensed a strong aura fluctuation from his daughter. This was because Zhao Min's mind was out of control and her magic power was difficult to control. But at this time, Wei Chongran had no time to investigate carefully.
At this moment, there were sounds of breaking through the air from far away, and in an instant, dozens of figures flew towards this side one after another. Li Yan had just stood up and looked up, and a smile appeared on his face.
At the front of the dozen figures was Li Wuyi in white, looking as handsome as ever. Behind him was the burly man Wei Chituo, and Yun Chunqu, who always had a cold expression on his face.
Later, more lights broke through the air, among them were a few people Li Yan knew.
Ouyang Ping was Li Wuyi's disciple; Zhang Que was Yun Chunqu's disciple; and there was a young woman who was Miao Wangqing's disciple, but it seemed that Li Yan never asked her name.
These people have already established their foundation, and judging from their sect attire, they have all officially become inner disciples.
Li Yanze did not recognize the remaining four young-looking men and women. They were obviously new disciples who had entered Xiaozhu Peak in recent years.
“It’s Junior Brother and Min’er!”
Li Wuyi glanced over and his expression became excited.
Just now, Wei Chongran's voice suddenly rang in each of their hearts.
"Li Yan and Min'er are back and flying towards the mountain gate!!"
This simple sentence stunned everyone, including the disciples who had entered Xiaozhu Peak nearly a hundred years ago. They were bewildered at first, and then they reacted.
These two names are not unfamiliar to these disciples, because they involve the taboos of their master.
Therefore, Li Wuyi and the others kept telling them privately not to mention these two names in front of their grandmaster and grandmaster’s grandmother, otherwise they would be severely punished.
After being stunned for a moment, everyone, regardless of whether they were practicing or doing other things, flew towards the mountain gate halfway up Xiaozhu Peak.
Fortunately, most of the disciples in the peak are here today, so they are basically all present.
Seeing Li Wuyi looking at him with surprise, Li Yan's eyes suddenly showed a smile.
So, he was about to say hello to his senior brother, but he saw Li Wuyi glance at him, then flashed and immediately ran towards Zhao Min and Zhao Zhi who had already separated.
"Min'er, you miss me so much. Come here, let me see if you have changed. Well, your height hasn't changed... Your appearance hasn't changed, you are still as beautiful as before..."
Li Yan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. After a while, he could only retract it and scratch the back of his head.
"Big Brother is still so unreliable!!"
He complained in his heart.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother, Junior Brother..."
Wei Chituo rushed over like a whirlwind, and then hugged Li Yan. Li Yan did not dodge, and let Wei Chituo hold him tightly.
"Second Brother, you are still as vigorous as ever! You are very powerful!!"
Wei Chituo let go of Li Yan and patted Li Yan's shoulders happily, making a "boom, boom, boom..." sound.
"Junior brother is always good at telling the truth. After so many years, he is still the most honest disciple of our generation..."
Yun Chun arrived almost at the same time as Wei Chituo, but he did not move forward. Instead, he stayed ten feet away from Li Yan and the others until Li Yan looked over.
"At least you're not dead!"
He nodded at Li Yan and said this, his expression still indifferent.
Li Yan had no choice but to shout.
"Hello, Third Brother!"
Li Yan knew the character of this third senior brother. It was very rare for him to speak a word. Even the words he greeted Li Yan just now made people feel a little awkward.
"We have met Junior Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Zhao, and congratulations to Grand-Master and Grand-Master!"
The disciples who came later also quickly communicated with each other.
Led by Ouyang Ping, several people knelt on one knee in the air. Before Li Yan and Zhao Min could speak, Zhao Zhi's somewhat excited voice came over.
"Okay, okay, today is indeed a big day for my Xiaozhu Peak. Wuyi, take my token and give 500 sect contribution points to each of these disciples!"
When Ouyang Ping and the others heard this, they were overjoyed and kowtowed to Zhao Zhi again.
"Thank you, Grandmother!"
Li Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this. He thought about how he had worked harder than a dog just for a few contribution points, planting spiritual plants and picking them in secret realms.
The master's wife was in such a good mood that she awarded thousands of contribution points at once today.
"Fortunately, there are not many people in Xiaozhu Peak, otherwise even if we empty our family's coffers, it wouldn't be enough!!"
Li Yan thought about it in his mind and naturally calculated the expenses.
"Okay, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the main hall!"
Just as Li Yan's spiritual sense was scanning further away, Wei Chongran spoke with a smile on his face. Li Yan had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his mind and retract his spiritual sense.
As Wei Chongran flew towards the inside of the peak, Wei Chituo and Yun Chunqu, who had just used their spiritual sense to scan Li Yan and Zhao Min, also shut up. They had already discovered the realm of Li Yan and Zhao Min at this time, and were extremely shocked.
Only Li Wuyi was still staying with Zhao Min, constantly asking questions in a low voice. Li Yan even saw Li Wuyi occasionally looking up at him, with an expression in his eyes that seemed to be admiration.
In the main hall of Xiaozhu Peak, except for Ouyang Ping and a few others who were either standing with their hands hanging down or serving tea, everyone else sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Li Yan spoke first.
"Master, where are Senior Brothers Five and Seven?"
Wei Chongran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"It seems that you have already inquired about the news of Xiaozhu Peak when you came back!"
Everyone here is a smart person. Li Yan's words obviously did not ask about Gong Chenying's whereabouts, which means he must have known it.
