Xiao Chen didn't know that Mo Xie was preparing for the 18 Ghost Realms. After returning to the Holy Palace, the first thing he did was to visit his parents. After all, this trip to the Ninth Heaven would take several months. Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing must be very worried.
In truth, there was absolutely nothing for the two elders to worry about in the Sacred Palace. They had Fei Mei, Qingyao and the others to take care of them, and they didn't lack any cultivation resources. It could be said that their lives were very blissful. Of course, under such conditions, the two elders' cultivation base naturally rose. Although their battle strength wasn't high, their lifespan had increased significantly.
As a result, the two elders appeared even younger. Xiao Qing was needless to say, especially his mother, Bai Ruyue. At this moment, she was even more radiant than when she was in Ling Shan Commandery City. In terms of appearance, she was not inferior to Qin Shuirou and the other two girls. In addition, Bai Ruyue's mature aura added to her beauty.
After letting Qin Shuirou and the other two girls accompany Tianyue around the Sacred Region, Xiao Chen went alone to the courtyard where Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing lived.
Everyone lived in the same cave residence, so they were not far from each other. Soon, Xiao Chen arrived at the courtyard. In the courtyard, An Lan and Lu Zhu, who were serving the two old men, were overjoyed when they saw Xiao Chen. They happily came forward and saluted Xiao Chen.
"Young Master …"
Since the establishment of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen had many things to do because he was the first Chosen, so he did not have much time to spend with An Lan and the other two girls. Now that they finally saw Xiao Chen, the two girls were naturally happy.
Facing the two girls, Xiao Chen smiled. "It's just the two of you. Where are Fei Mei and Qingluo?"
"They went to the Lingshan Prefecture City. Madam instructed them to send some things back." Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lu Zhu, who was the most lively of the six maids, replied without hiding anything.
Bai Ruyue asked Fei Mei and Qing Luo to make a trip to Ling Shan City. Xiao Chen didn't mind this. Accompanied by An Lan and Lu Zhu, he went all the way to the rear courtyard and saw Bai Ruyu and Xiao Qing chatting and resting in the courtyard.
The two of them didn't have much to do every day. Besides cultivating, they would either go out to play or bask in the sun in the courtyard. Their lives were extremely leisurely.
Xiao Qing leaned comfortably on the recliner. When he saw Xiao Chen coming, a smile appeared on his face as he stood up happily.
"Chen 'er is back."
Xiao Qing was naturally happy that Xiao Chen had returned. However, there was obviously someone else who was even happier, and that was Bai Ruyue. Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Bai Ruyue quickly rushed out of her room and cried out happily when she saw Xiao Chen.
"Chen 'er, quick, come over here and let me have a look."
Dressed in a simple light blue dress, Bai Ruyue was indeed getting younger with age. She walked over to her mother's room with a smile and sized up Xiao Chen from head to toe. Only then did Bai Ruyue speak with a pained expression.
"You've lost weight. Did you suffer outside? Look at you, you're always gone for a few months. When will you be able to stay in the Sacred Palace with peace of mind for a period of time?"
At first, they were worried, but it soon turned into complaints. The two elders had already regarded the Sacred Palace as their home, and they were full of resentment towards Xiao Chen for not coming home every few days. Of course, they also knew that Xiao Chen often had no choice. After all, the title of the first Chosen was not for nothing. There were many things that Xiao Chen had to stand up for and carry the banner of the Sacred Palace.
Moreover, Xiao Chen was not someone who could endure loneliness. However, when he heard Bai Ruyue's complaints, Xiao Chen responded with a smile. "Don't worry mother, I won't be going out for a while. I'll stay at home and accompany you."
Xiao Chen's words were not false. They had just defeated the Night Ghost Pavilion and it was likely that the Night Ghost Pavilion would be more well-behaved for the next one or two months. As for the other small conflicts, Xiao Chen did not need to deal with them. Currently, Xiao Chen's only worry was that a true war between the two alliances would break out in the future. When that time came, Xiao Chen wanted to spend more time with his parents.
When she heard Xiao Chen's words, Bai Ruyue immediately beamed with joy. She pulled Xiao Chen's hand and sat down in the pavilion without any explanation. Xiao Qing naturally followed along.
The family of three sat in a circle in the pavilion. They did not ask Xiao Chen why he had gone out this time. The two elders knew that they could not do anything about it. The child had grown up and knew what he was doing. The only wish in the hearts of the two elders was that Xiao Chen could be safe and sound. That was enough.
They chatted idly with the two elders until evening. Qin Shuirou and the other two girls brought Tian Yue back and introduced Tian Yue to the two elders. After that, Bai Ruyue said that the family had not eaten together for a long time. Xiao Chen and the others could only stay. Of course, Chen Ling and Long Qing were also called over by Xiao Chen.
As night fell, Xiao Chen's family sat together and ate while chatting about some boring topics. Of course, the ones who talked the most were the six women, Bai Ruyue, Qin Shuirou, Bai Hua Fairy, Gu Lingyao, Tian Yue, and Long Qing. As for Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, and Xiao Qing, the three men were drinking wine with nothing to do.
From time to time, the laughter of the six women could be heard. It was very pleasant. Bai Ruyue did not look old at all when she was with Qin Shuirou and the others. Moreover, under the teasing of the women, the smile on Bai Ruyue's face never disappeared.
They finished the meal happily. In the end, the six women still had no intention of stopping. Xiao Chen and the other two helplessly went to the pavilion in the courtyard and continued to drink.
It was finally quiet. As the saying goes, three women make a play. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Xiao Chen felt very happy at this moment.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Ling asked with a smile just as Xiao Chen was alone in a daze.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just feel that this kind of life is not bad."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chen Ling scolded with a smile, but then said with a serious expression, "You rascal, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
Seeing Chen Ling's serious expression, Xiao Chen also knew that Chen Ling wanted to talk about something serious. He immediately restrained his emotions and looked at Chen Ling with a serious expression and said, "Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Sigh, this matter is related to the Xiao family. I think it's better for you to handle it. After all, father and mother are old and too soft-hearted. Sometimes, they can't bring themselves to do it." Sighing softly, Chen Ling said slowly. As he spoke, his eyes secretly glanced at Xiao Qing.
