(I've eaten something bad. Gastroenteritis. I'm in tears.)
A wanderer returning to his home was even more timid.
In the sky above Kaiyang City, Chu Mu's body stopped in midair. His eyes trembled slightly. There was an indescribable excitement in his heart, and a strange feeling reverberated in his chest.
At this moment, Chu Mu's emotions were extremely complicated.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. It was a very long breath. As he exhaled the turbid air, Chu Mu's heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes returned to normal.
Descending from the sky and landing outside Kaiyang City, he attracted a lot of attention. However, after so many years, not many people recognized Chu Mu.
"It's even more bustling than before." Slowing down, Chu Mu walked into Kaiyang City. Looking around, Chu Mu saw people coming and going. The flow of people was several times more than what he remembered.
This made Kaiyang City, which was not big to begin with, seem a little crowded.
Especially since the banquet held by the Chu Clan in half a month had just ended. Many people from other places had yet to leave Kaiyang City, causing the population of Kaiyang City to increase. On the streets, it was a scene of people squeezing together, like a bustling market.
Walking into the crowd, Chu Mu's figure was very agile. Like a fish swimming between reefs, he was not obstructed in the slightest. Even though the flow of people was like an unending torrent, it still did not affect Chu Mu in the slightest.
The Chu Family residence was in Kaiyang City. Chu Mu, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry to go back. He slowly walked through the crowd and watched the street vendors haggle. He felt the liveliness and ordinariness of a normal person.
Chu Mu was like an outsider who had entered this place. As he walked, the aura on his body became more and more ordinary. He gradually blended into the crowd, as if he had become a part of Kaiyang City.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu had walked into the Chu Clan's residence area.
Unlike the packed streets, there was not a single person in the ten thousand meter radius around the Chu Clan's residence.
This wasn't done intentionally by the Chu Clan. Instead, it was done out of respect for the Chu Clan. They wanted the Chu Clan to be a peaceful place.
The Chu Clan Mansion had clearly been expanded. It was at least two or three times larger than before. Chu Mu slowly walked towards the main entrance of the Chu Clan Mansion. At the main entrance, two swordsmen in their thirties stood on either side of him. Their bodies were as straight as swords, and their auras were condensed. Their eyes were sharp, and the auras they exuded let Chu Mu know that they were both in the Qi Transformation Realm.
"It seems that the Chu clan has become much stronger than before." Chu Mu thought to himself. He felt a trace of joy in his heart because the Chu Clan was his family. It was a good thing that the Chu Clan was powerful.
In the past, the Chu clan only had Chu Dangxiong, who was a Qi Transformation Realm swordsman. But now, even the swordsmen guarding the gate were at the beginning of the Qi Transformation Realm. This was enough to show that the Chu clan had given birth to even more Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen.
"This is the Chu Clan Mansion. May I ask what advice you have for us?" One of the two swordsmen took a step forward and saluted with his sword. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing as he asked.
"I am Chu Mu." Chu Mu nodded slightly and said.
"Chu …" The two swordsmen were startled. For a moment, they didn't react. When they looked at Chu Mu again, their expressions changed greatly. Excitement overflowed from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, that's right. The person in front of them was Chu Mu. He was the Chu Mu who was crowned with infinite glory by the Chu Clan. After so many years, his appearance hadn't changed much compared to before.
It was just that they never thought that Chu Mu would return, so they didn't think in that direction. Now that they heard Chu Mu announce his name and carefully looked at Chu Mu's appearance, their bodies trembled with excitement.
"Young Master, please come in." The two swordsmen hurriedly opened the door. Their bodies were trembling, and even their voices were trembling.
Then, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Young Master is back. Young Master Chu Mu is back …"
Their voices contained sword energy. It was like the roar of thunder, rolling and shaking the entire Chu Clan Mansion.
In an instant, the Chu Clan Mansion fell into a strange silence. Because of this news, they couldn't react for a moment.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
Excited shouts sounded. Then, there was the sound of wind breaking. One figure after another flew out of the pavilions and rushed towards the Chu Clan Mansion's main hall.
At this time, Chu Mu was walking into the Chu Clan Mansion. He walked into the Chu Clan Mansion's front yard.
The front yard of the Chu Clan Mansion was two to three times bigger than before.
Chu Mu's footsteps stopped. Because he saw that there were many people standing outside the Chu Clan Mansion's main hall. Some of their eyes were filled with excitement, while others were filled with curiosity and respect. In a sense, these people were his family.
Chu Mu's gaze swept across and landed on the faces of a couple. His calm heart couldn't help but ripple. Once again, he became excited. However, he subconsciously controlled himself and didn't show it.
Perhaps, he didn't want others to see him lose his cool.
"Mu 'er …" The woman's eyes were filled with tears. Her voice trembled with excitement. Step by step, she walked out of the crowd. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Chu Mu's cheek. That gaze made Chu Mu's heart ache.
The middle-aged man also walked over with large strides. He didn't say anything. His hand heavily patted Chu Mu's shoulder as if it weighed thousands of pounds. His gaze conveyed everything.
Chu Tian also walked over with large strides. He stood beside Chu Mu and placed his hand on Chu Mu's other shoulder. On his face, there was a sincere smile that came from the bottom of his heart. He was so happy.
Within the crowd, the old Chu Dangxiong, as well as all of the direct descendants of the Chu family and so on, did not move. No one went to disturb the four of them. They only watched like that because the four of them were a family. They were a small family within the entire Chu family.
After a while, Chu Xing Yun calmed down his excitement. He knew that although Chu Mu was his son, he was also the Chu Clan's back. He was the Chu Clan's glory. At this time, there were many people waiting for Chu Mu.
"Good, good, good … …" Chu Dang Xiong's big hand fell on Chu Mu's shoulder and he was greatly comforted. His voice reverberated throughout the area like a ferocious tiger's roar. Chu Mu's eyes shined brightly. Chu Mu discovered that Chu Dang Xiong's cultivation had reached the low level of the Qi Hai realm.
Thinking about it, although Chu Dangxiong's talent wasn't that great, it wasn't bad either. With the pills and scrolls that Chu Mu brought back, he would be able to increase his cultivation over a long period of time.
Besides Chu Dangxiong, Chu Mu also noticed that there were other Qi Hai Realm sword warriors in the Chu Clan. Although they were only at the Initial Qi Hai Realm, they were above Chu Dangxiong in terms of battle power. He was Chu He.
Chu He's talent was considered good in the Great Kun Dynasty. He had comprehended the concept of water. Now that he had reached the Qi Hai Realm, he left the Great Kun Sword Palace and returned to the Chu Clan. He was the new leader of the Chu Clan. As for his father, he retired and focused on his cultivation.
For a clan to be strong, other than wealth, the most important thing was martial power. Only when there were more powerful sword warriors in the clan could they protect the clan's foundation. Only then could they intimidate others and allow the clan to grow steadily.
Like Chu Xing Yun and his brothers, they had all reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. Compared to before, they had improved by many times.
Chu Mu also discovered that his older brother, Chu Tian, who was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm, had also left the Great Kun Sword Mansion and returned to the Chu Family. He had even married a virtuous wife and had a cute and naughty son.
In the past, this was something that he could not imagine. Although marrying and having children was very normal for ordinary people, it was relatively rare for swordsmen. Unless swordsmen felt that it was difficult for them to improve further, or if there was some special reason, they would continue to travel and gain experience. Having a family would become a kind of concern.
Of course, this wasn't absolute. Sometimes, concern was also a motivation.
From Chu Mu's point of view, Chu Tian still had potential. However, Chu Tian's choice was his own. Chu Mu wouldn't interfere. He would only be happy for him.
Moreover, Chu Mu had returned. There were many cultivation resources in his interspatial ring. It was enough for Chu Tian's strength to improve further.
…
"So he's Uncle Chu Mu. He looks so young."
The Chu Family's younger generation had all grown up listening to Chu Mu's stories. Towards Chu Mu, they had a sense of worship since they were young. They had always hoped to be able to see Chu Mu in person. He was the idol in their hearts, and also the goal that they worked hard for.
Now that they had finally seen Chu Mu in person, they discovered that Chu Mu was even younger than they had imagined. He looked even younger than their father.
"That's because Uncle Chu Mu is very, very powerful. That's why he looks so young."
This group of children didn't know how powerful Chu Mu was. They could only use the word 'very, very powerful' to describe him.
Chu Mu's return caused the entire Chu Clan to be overjoyed. They were very excited. The news of Chu Mu's return was not concealed. It quickly spread throughout Kaiyang City. The outsiders who stayed in Kaiyang City also spread the news. In less than a day, almost everyone in the Great Kun Dynasty knew of Chu Mu's return.
It could be imagined that it wouldn't take long for the entire Eastern Sword Domain to know of Chu Mu's return. When that time came, it would cause another commotion.
However, Chu Mu didn't care about any of this. At this moment, he was enjoying the joy of his family.
In the courtyard of the Xingyun Courtyard, Chu Xingyun and his wife, Chu Tian and his wife, and Chu Mu were sitting around a table.
Chu Tian's wife was called Li Wenxiu. She was from the same family as Li Yunlan. Although she couldn't be considered a great beauty, she was gentle and virtuous. She had an elegant temperament. With a single glance, one could tell that she was from a noble family. She was a good match for Chu Tian.
Chu Tian and Li Wenxiu's son was called Chu Zheng. It meant that he was upright and upright.
This little fellow was almost two years old now, and its body was even more robust than other children of the same age. It was currently hiding behind Li Wenxiu and secretly poking its head out. Its pair of black eyes were full of curiosity as it sized up Chu Mu.
He had heard of this uncle many times. This was his first time seeing him, so he was filled with curiosity.
"Zheng 'er is a little shy. Uncle, please don't blame him." Li Wenxiu rubbed Chu Mu's little head and smiled at him.
Chu Mu faintly smiled. How could he be offended? Instead, he used a gentle gaze to look at Chu Zheng. He then clenched his hand into a fist and extended it. Slowly opening it, a red and blue interweaving lotus slowly blossomed. It was vivid and lifelike, gorgeous and enchanting. It caused Chu Zheng's eyes to light up, and he excitedly ran out from behind Li Wenxiu. His large black eyes stared at Chu Mu's hand. (To be continued.
