The car entered the City Lord's compound after an inspection.
Below a building, a middle-aged man who looked very dignified was slightly excited. He was already waiting there.
When the car stopped, Wu Fei was the first to open the door. Then, Tsing Hui pushed the door open and entered.
After more than ten years, Qing Yuming had aged a lot. Although he still looked energetic at the age of fifty-six and seemed to be in the most high-spirited period, he still couldn't hide his old age.
"Little Xu."
Seeing Tsing Hui get out of the car, Qing Yuming could not help but take a few steps forward.
"Father."
Tsing Hui also lowered his head slightly.
When he entered Berlin City, he had already controlled his muscles to adjust his appearance, so it was not impossible to recognize him.
"Good, good, good. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Qing Yuming's heart was stirred, but his father's dignity made him suppress his emotions. He only nodded his head heavily.
Then, he turned his head and said to Wu Fei, "Little Wu, sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to know Young Master Xu."
Wu Fei said and bowed respectfully. Then, he said, "I still have things to deal with, so I won't delay the City Lord any longer. I'll take my leave first."
"Mm."
Qing Yuming did not say much, but it was obvious that he had remembered this matter.
Wu Fei left with satisfaction, and Qing Yuming brought Tsing Hui upstairs.
"What happened back then is in the past. Don't take it to heart."
When the two of them were in the elevator, Qing Yuming said inexplicably.
Tsing Hui looked up.
This was …
Did he forgive him for offending several important people to work together with the Dongyang Sword Sect?
"Since you like that girl so much, bring her back. When will you hold a wedding and give her a status?"
Qing Yuming continued, as if he did not notice Tsing Hui's strange expression.
In the end, he even asked, "Answer me honestly. Am I a grandfather now?"
Feelings …
For more than ten years, Qing Yuming thought that he and Jiang Ningzhi had been living a secret life after eloping.
"This matter … is somewhat complicated."
Tsing Hui replied, not knowing where to begin.
"It's okay. Take your time. If it's hard to say, it's fine if you don't want to say it. Just like I said earlier, let bygones be bygones."
After Qing Yuming finished speaking, he took out the key and opened the door.
It was a duplex with an area of more than 200 square meters. Considering Qing Yuming's position, it was neither good nor bad.
"Daddy, daddy!"
As Tsing Hui finished changing his shoes and was about to enter, a cute little girl of about six or seven years old ran out of the room.
Seeing this little girl, Qing Yuming suddenly smiled and carried the little girl up. "Xinxin, have you been good at home? You didn't give Sister Luo any trouble, right?"
"Xinxin is so obedient."
The little girl nodded vigorously.
When Tsing Hui saw the conversation between Qing Yuming and the little girl, he seemed to have thought of something. His heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of surprise and joy.
"This is …"
Tsing Hui asked.
If he guessed correctly, his father was still young and vigorous.
At this time, Qing Yuming seemed to realize that Tsing Hui was beside him. His expression was a little strange. After a while, he said, "This … is your sister. Her name is Qing Yuxin."
"My sister …"
Tsing Hui muttered these two words. An indescribable feeling of blood was thicker than water, which he had never felt before from Zhuo Yunqing.
"Mommy is back. Daddy is back too. Xinxin is so happy."
The little girl, Qing Yuxin, said with joy on her cute little face.
"Mommy …"
Qing Yuming's expression stiffened slightly.
"Is Mommy at home too?"
Tsing Hui showed a trace of joy on his face and was about to walk into the room.
But at this time, a young woman in her thirties walked out of the room. She was full of graceful and luxurious aura.
Although this woman looked to be in her thirties, there were obvious traces of maintenance and makeup on her body. Her actual age should be much older than she looked.
"Yuming."
The graceful woman nodded kindly to Qing Yuming. After a while, her gaze fell on Tsing Hui. "You are Tsing Hui, right? How about I call you Xiao Xu like Yuming? Yuming has been nagging you all these years. Come, come in and have a seat. "
After saying that, she had already gracefully gestured with her hand. She looked just like the hostess.
Tsing Hui looked at this woman but did not move. Instead, he turned his gaze and looked at Qing Yuming.
Qing Yuming was obviously caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this woman. After a while, he introduced her, "This … This is your Aunt Haitang …"
"Where is my mother?"
Tsing Hui did not comment.
Qing Yuming's face showed a trace of pain. "In these years, the world … has changed a lot. You should know that nine years ago, a space passage appeared in our Jade Sea Province. It was less than a hundred kilometers away from Puyang City. At that time, I urgently organized a retreat. At the same time, I ordered people to pick up your mother. But at that time, Puyang City was in chaos. Due to the interference of space, communication was not convenient. I waited for her for an hour but she was still nowhere to be seen.
"You retreated?"
Tsing Hui's voice suddenly became hoarse. At this moment, his relaxed and joyful mood that was full of expectations suddenly shattered. It was as if something incomparably precious had left him forever. That kind of loss, that kind of helplessness, caused his heart to continuously fall, fall, and fall again. It was as if he was about to fall into an endless abyss.
Qing Yuming closed his eyes. His face was full of regret. "I … I should have gone to pick her up personally …"
Tsing Hui was silent. It was so silent that it was almost suffocating.
"Little Xu, don't blame your father. After all, no one would have expected such a thing to happen. And you, I heard from Yuming that you are also a warrior. If you hadn't left home and didn't return, you might have been able to protect your mother. Speaking of which, you also have some responsibility."
Haitang, who was at the side, seemed to be defending her husband. She said lightly.
"It's our family's matter. It's not up to you to interfere!"
Tsing Hui said coldly.
His tone instantly made Haitang frown slightly. "Xiao Xu, I know that you are sad that your mother passed away. But this matter is not Yuming's fault. He is the mayor of Puyang City. At such a critical moment, he should have taken up the responsibility of a mayor and actively organized the evacuation of the citizens …"
"Shut up!"
Tsing Hui looked at the woman in front of him who had replaced his mother's position in the family and immediately scolded her.
"Wa wa …"
Seeing her mother quarreling with this strange big brother all of a sudden, Qing Yuxin, who was originally smiling, seemed to have been frightened. She immediately burst into tears.
Qing Yuming, who was already in a difficult position, immediately became anxious. He quickly comforted her. "Alright, alright. Xinxin is a good girl. Xinxin is a big child now. Don't cry, don't cry …"
"Yuming, you really need to teach your son well. He doesn't know how to be polite."
Haitang said as she shook her head. She reached out and hugged Xinxin, comforting her gently.
"Alright, you should stop talking. After all, it's the first time that we have met after so many years. You should be more polite …"
Qing Yuming said unhappily.
"When I found out that Tsing Hui was coming back, I immediately put down the things on my hands just to see him. I wanted to build a good relationship with him so that it would not be difficult to get along with him. Isn't that polite enough? But looking at him now … Where is his decency? No wonder he abandoned his family and ran away from home for more than ten years. "
"Stop talking!"
Qing Yuming shouted in a low voice.
Haitang glanced at Qing Yuming and said indifferently, "It's fine if you don't say it. I just hope that you don't make any wrong decisions because of your son. Our Hai family spent so much effort to push you to the position of City Lord of Ancient Jade City. Remember to weigh the pros and cons."
After saying that, Haitang glanced at Tsing Hui again. She seemed to be too lazy to argue with him anymore. She carried Qing Yuxin and went directly to her room.
After Haitang left, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Qing Yuming looked at Qing Xu and opened his mouth. He was about to say something, but at this moment, a rather anxious voice rang out from outside.
"City Lord, City Lord!"
Immediately after, a man dressed as a secretary quickly brought in a document. "City Lord, there is news from the Dongyang base. There was an anomaly in the space there four hours ago. It is suspected that a space channel has opened. The military hopes that you can immediately start organizing people and prepare to evacuate eight million people in the four cities of Berlin, Grassi, Huaqi, and Chiyang with a radius of two hundred kilometers with Dongyang Mountain as the center …"
"There is a problem with the Dongyang space channel? Hasn't it been peaceful there for more than ten years … "
Qing Yuming didn't have time to talk to Tsing Hui. He forced himself to get rid of the pain and entered into work mode. He took the document from the secretary.
"It has been peaceful for more than ten years, but four hours ago, this anomaly was suddenly broken, and …"
The man dressed as a secretary hesitated for a moment and said in a slightly suppressed tone, "Moreover, the military base detected that a humanoid monster seemed to have descended to our earth from that space channel. According to the strength data that the monster showed when it left … its energy level is very likely to exceed the highest level currently monitored — the apocalypse level."
After the secretary finished speaking, Qing Yuming felt his breathing stagnate.
After a while, he took a deep breath and growled, "Beyond the apocalypse level? How is that possible? So far, no more than 10 apocalyptic-level beasts have appeared, and they all appeared from the No. 3 portal in North America and the No. 4 portal in Antarctica. Now, you're telling me that there are beasts above the apocalyptic-level in Dongyang? "
"City Lord … Although I don't believe it, this news shouldn't be false. Dr. Luo Song, who is stationed there, speculated that the extraterrestrial civilization might be dissatisfied with the progress of the beasts' advancement, so they sent a real leader to descend … This humanoid beast can hide itself, and it most likely has high intelligence …"
