While the group was talking, Hu Ding also arrived. He looked at Hu Xin and Little Crane Grass before he nodded and said, "Good, it's good that you came back alive. Let's go back and talk." Hu Xin and Little Crane Grass nodded. Then the group returned to the Hu Clan's pharmacy.
After arriving at the back room of the Hu Clan's Medicine Hall and sitting down, Hu Ding looked at Hu Xin's Little Crane Grass and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did you two escape? I heard that the Liu Family spent a lot of effort to deal with you. "
Hu Xin sighed and said, "Not only did they besiege us in the water, there were also people waiting for us on the shore. If it wasn't for Little Crane Grass, then I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to come back." Then Hu Xin recounted what happened to the two.
When Hu Ding and the others heard this, they quietly listened to Hu Xin. After Hu Xin finished, Hu Ding turned his head to look at Little Crane Grass. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, I know about this matter. You don't need to worry about the rest. Go take a bath, eat something, and take a rest." The two nodded, then they stood up and gave Hu Ding a salute before they turned around and left. The servants arranged everything for them.
After the two left, Hu Wan turned his head to Hu Ding and said, "Eighteenth Brother, do you think what Xin 'er said is true? Isn't it a bit exaggerated? Just based on Little Crane Grass? Can he really do what Xin 'er said? I don't believe it. "
Hu Ding shook his head and said, "No, I believe what Xi 'er said. Seventh Brother, you haven't had much contact with Little Crane Grass, so you don't know much about him. Little Crane Grass definitely isn't simple. He's a genius, a true genius. I've been in contact with him for a long time, so I know him very well. I'm sure that what Xi' er said isn't an exaggeration. Little Crane Grass is definitely capable of doing what he said. Seventh Brother, you should know that when I went to pick up Little Crane Grass and Xian 'er, I was also attacked by the Liu Family. The one who attacked me was Hungry Dog Liu Ying. But do you know what Little Crane Grass was like back then? He was so engrossed in reading in Xian Er's room that he didn't even know when the battle ended. "
At this point, Hu Ding paused for a moment. He looked at Hu Wan and said, "Crane Grass definitely can't be judged by common sense. He does indeed have such an ability. I realized that the closer he is to a crisis, the calmer he becomes. Furthermore, he can make the most correct decision in the shortest amount of time. This ability isn't something that just anyone can have."
When Hu Wanyi heard Hu Ding's words, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Hearing you say that, I'm also a bit curious about this child. If he's really that outstanding, then it would be my Hu Clan's blessing."
Hu Ding smiled faintly and said, "Seventh Brother, if he wasn't talented, then Third Uncle wouldn't have accepted him as a disciple. This child is really talented. It's a pity that he's a grass soul cultivator. Otherwise, his potential would be limitless."
Hu Wan nodded. In fact, there were still a lot of people in the Hu Clan who didn't understand why Hu Yuan accepted Little Crane Grass as a disciple. In their opinion, Little Crane Grass was just a grass soul cultivator. What could his future be like? Such a person simply wasn't worthy of being Hu Yuan's disciple.
However, they didn't dare to say this in front of Hu Yuan. What was Hu Yuan's status in the Hu Clan? If they dared to say this in front of Hu Yuan, then Hu Yuan might just teach them a lesson.
Hu Wan didn't dwell on this matter. Instead, he looked at Hu Ding and said, "What do we do next? Now that Xin 'er and Crane Grass have returned safely, should we return to Zhi Fort first? "
Hu Ding nodded and said, "Yes, let's return to Zhi Fort first. I'm afraid that the clan will make a big move. This time, the Liu Clan has gone too far. We have to avenge Hu Quan and the others. This time, we must teach the Liu Clan a lesson that they'll never forget. Our Hu Clan has been low-key for so many years, but some people still think that we're sick cats."
Hu Wan nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go back first. Strange, why did the Liu Clan only kill Hu Quan and the others, but didn't touch the Grassy Ship?"
Hu Ding replied, "There's nothing strange about it. They didn't dare to move. Now that they killed Hu Quan, even if we know that they did it, we don't have any evidence. If they take the Grassy Ship away, then wouldn't they be telling others that they were the ones who did it? They don't have the courage to do that. As for why they didn't sink the Grassy Ship, that's easy to explain. This time, the Liu Clan wanted to show off to us. They wanted to show us the corpses of Hu Quan and the others. Therefore, they didn't sink the Grassy Ship. "
Hu Wan nodded and said, "That makes sense. When will we go back?"
Hu Ding replied, "Let's wait for two days. Let Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin have a good rest. They've had a hard time in the past two days. Hu Xin is a Cultivator, but Little Crane Grass is different. He's still a child. I'm afraid that if he were to rest and relax, he might get sick."
Hu Ding's words weren't nonsense. People were like this. When their minds were tense, their body's potential would be stimulated. But when your mind relaxed, some of the hidden problems in your body would slowly find their way to you. This was the most dangerous thing.
Hu Wan also understood this, so he nodded and said, "Alright, then let's rest for two days. Do you want to make arrangements?"
Hu Ding said in a deep voice, "We must. The Liu Clan is like a mad dog right now. Who knows what else they can do. We must be careful before the clan completely makes a move on the Liu Clan. If we let those fellows take advantage of the loophole, then it would be bad."
Hu Wan nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements." Then he turned around and left.
Hu Ding looked at Hu Wan's back and couldn't help but sigh. Right now, there were many people in the Hu Clan who were just like Hu Wan. They still had some doubts about the Little Crane Grass. Unfortunately, no matter how he explained, there weren't many people who believed him. This made Hu Ding very vexed.
In the next two days, Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin had a good rest. Moreover, they ate medicinal cuisine every day. There were also people who took their pulse every day. This made the two of them live like masters.
It wasn't until three days after Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin entered Ronghua City that Hu Ding gave an order. They left the city and rushed towards Lingshan City.
The journey was very peaceful. Nobody dared to make a move on them. After all, there were hundreds of Combat Plant Masters in the Hu Clan. If someone dared to make a move on them, then they must be tired of living.
Along the way, they rode horses. Little Crane Grass didn't know how to ride a horse before. However, Hu Ding and the others didn't help him this time. Instead, they gave him a relatively docile horse and had him ride it with everyone.
In the beginning, Hu Wan and the others were afraid that Little Crane Grass wouldn't be able to bear the hardship. However, after a few days of traveling, they had to admit that they had underestimated Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass was really able to endure hardships. Moreover, in their opinion, besides being unfamiliar with riding a horse in the beginning, Little Crane Grass was able to ride a horse after a few days.
Hu Wan didn't know that when Little Crane Grass was practicing the horse stance, it was different from the horse stance that other people learned. Not only did he have to do the horse stance, he also had to use his legs to clamp the stake. In the end, he had to turn the dead horse into a living horse.
His foundation was very good. The journey took more than a month. Little Crane Grass originally wanted to take the Grassy Ship back to Juyun City to see his old gate. However, his plans changed quickly. Now, it was impossible for them to go to Juyun City.
More than a month later, the group arrived at the Hu Clan's fort covered in dust. As soon as they entered the fort, Little Crane Grass felt that the atmosphere in the fort was different from before. Little Crane Grass knew what was going on. Just as they were rushing to the fort, the Hu Clan had already started to deal with the Liu Clan. They had received a lot of news along the way. Some of the Liu Clan's branches outside had been swept away and their shops were closed. Now, the Liu Clan could only linger on with their last breath. They had already been demoted from a mid-tier clan to a low-tier clan.
This was because the Hu Clan didn't go all out. If the Hu Clan really wanted to deal with them, then the Liu Clan would have already been wiped out.
This was the Hu Clan's biggest operation in many years. At the same time, it was also an operation to show the Hu Clan's strength to the outside world. Through this operation, nobody dared to look down on the Hu Clan. Everyone knew that the Hu Clan wasn't to be trifled with.
When Little Crane Grass and the others arrived at the fort, the Hu Clan's attack on the Liu Clan had already ended. They didn't exterminate the Liu Clan because this would make all the forces in the continent afraid of the Hu Clan. Therefore, they left the Liu Clan alive.
Although the Liu Clan was spared, the Liu Clan had been completely crippled. Now, they no longer had the qualifications to challenge the Hu Clan. If they still didn't give up and dared to provoke the Hu Clan, then the Hu Clan would annihilate them all. It could be considered as a matter of course, and nobody would dare to say anything.
In fact, the Liu Clan's current situation wasn't very good. The Hu Clan swept away all the forces outside the Liu Clan, only allowing them to struggle at death's door. However, the Liu Clan was very overbearing before. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be enemies with the Hu Clan. Overbearing people would always offend a lot of people. In the past, the Liu Clan's strength was there. Even if they offended people, ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch them. But now, it was different. The Liu Clan had suffered heavy losses. If they didn't know how to hit them when they were down, then the Liu Clan's enemies would be too kind. Therefore, although the Hu Clan let the Liu Clan go, the Liu Clan wasn't far from their defeat. There were too many wolves staring at them. The reason why these wolves didn't touch the Liu Clan was because they were thinking about how to divide this meat.
However, these didn't have anything to do with the Hu Clan. The Hu Clan had done what they needed to do. What the others did was their own business. It had nothing to do with the Hu Clan.
When Little Crane Grass and the others returned to the Hu Clan, Hu Ding and the others immediately went to report to Hu Chao. However, Little Crane Grass wasn't the same as them. He directly returned to the valley and went to see Hu Yuan.
Little Crane Grass slowly made its way back to the valley. Looking at the familiar scenery in the valley and recalling the tense period of fleeing, Little Crane Grass felt as if it was a lifetime ago. After taking a few deep breaths and calming its emotions, Little Crane Grass returned to the wooden house.
When he arrived at the wooden house, he saw Hu Yuan sitting in the living room drinking tea. Little Crane Grass quickly went over and gave Hu Yuan a salute, "Disciple has seen Master. Disciple has returned."
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass, then he nodded and said, "Good, it's good that you're back. Go and wash up. Come and eat. Cui Xiang has already prepared your favorite dishes." Little Crane Grass nodded before he turned around and left.
After washing up, Little Crane Grass returned to the living room and saw that the tea table was already prepared. Cui Xiang was standing on the side. Little Crane Grass quickly gave a salute to Cui Xiang and said, "Aunt Cui Xiang."
Cui Xiang looked at Little Crane Grass and felt both heartache and happiness. After rushing for more than a month, Little Crane Grass had lost a lot of weight. This was also the reason why Cui Xiang felt heartache for Little Crane Grass. But at the same time, she was also happy that Little Crane Grass was able to return safely.
In the past two years, Cui Xiang had been taking care of Little Crane Grass's diet. Although Little Crane Grass had a full schedule every day, the relationship between the two was still very good. Cui Xiang didn't have any children in her life, so she naturally treated Little Crane Grass as her own child. If it wasn't for Hu Yuan, then Cui Xiang would've let Little Crane Grass live the life of a young master. Unfortunately, Hu Yuan didn't allow this. Therefore, she could only take care of Little Crane Grass's diet.
When Cui Xiang heard that Little Crane Grass and the others were attacked and their lives were unknown, she was really worried and secretly cried a few times. Fortunately, Little Crane Grass had returned safely, so she naturally made a lot of dishes that Little Crane Grass liked to eat.
Cui Xiang looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Alright, Little Crane Grass, come and eat. I made all of your favorite dishes. You've suffered in the past few days, Aunt will definitely give you some nourishment."
Little Crane Grass smiled foolishly and said, "Thank you, Aunt." Then he went to the tea table and sat down.
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Let's eat." After saying that, he picked up the bowl, filled it with rice, and began to eat. Little Crane Grass didn't stand on ceremony, and naturally, she also picked up the bowl and began to eat. Little Crane Grass was very clear that Hu Yuan was like this. He usually didn't talk much, especially when it was time to eat. Usually, if he had something to say, he would wait until after the meal. This time, it was obviously the same.
After eating, Cui Xiang cleaned up the leftovers. Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Little Crane Grass nodded and then told Hu Yuan what happened. From the attack to how they entered Ronghua City, he also told Hu Yuan about the Iron Thread Grass.
Upon hearing Little Crane Grass talking about the Iron Thread Grass, Hu Yuan stared. Then he carefully looked at Little Crane Grass and didn't find anything wrong with his body. Then he said, "Did the Iron Thread Grass really disappear? Did you carefully search for it? "
Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Yes, we've searched the entire cave. Brother Xin also used his ability to search, but he couldn't find anything. We also searched outside the cave, but we couldn't find anything. Master, what's going on?"
